Chapter 28 - Fu*ck you, that's how

Erix was intrigued upon seeing the panel screen in front of his eyes and the reward was rather appealing that would allow him to gain contact with people from other Multiverses. He likely could open up a special rift to other desired worlds but it was too vast for his power to find his destination. It would be useful to act as a map for the future of the vast multi dimensional worlds.

[ Hello dear, I can see that you're settling in your new world quite well and hope you like my gift to you. I am eager to watch your adventure and reach an even higher power through this. Anyway, I hope you like the characters that you'll meet.

Love, Ara Devi ]

He smiled reading the text filled with emotion of joy knowing that this entity was responsible for obtaining his power and eager to meet them in the future. Erix didn't question why she didn't show herself but knew there had to be a reason for it and decided not to think too hard.

Erix told Kaijin that he needed to do something and made them remain at the carriage not because he didn't think they weren't capable of defending themselves rather they were his prey. He stepped out where the bandits brandished their blades with a greedy gaze and noticed how they were around C to B Class adventurers but that is irrelevant.

"Lord Erix, I think it would be better if I was the one to dispose of them." Sebas got off the coachmen's seat and took a stance ready to slaughter them. He didn't want his master to waste his energy against these lowlifes while Erix commend his loyalty. The bandits laughed and believed that their chances of winning were on their side since they were around 20 bandits that had C to B Class strength.

"Hahaha you have the nerve to think you can fight us, old man!?" One of them mocked Sebas who was unfazed by his words seeing them as nothing but lowlife that needs to be eliminated.

"Yeah, just give up and hand over whatever you got!" Sebas prepared himself to dispose of them only for Erix tapped his shoulder and said.

"There must be some confusion. We're not the one in trouble here." Erix said stoically, staring at each and every one of them while Kaijin were frozen in time to not let them know about what's going on outside.

"What?" Their team leader was confused and offended that they weren't taken seriously only for them to fall into the ground and felt the immense pressure that came from Erix letting out his Dragon Haki that was enough to keep them alive while the weaker one died from the pressure.

"There's only 20 of you….you obviously need more than that to tickle us." Erix said vanishing briefly in his spot and the heads of the bandits was decapitated where a normal human won't even notice him leaving his spot having eliminated the bandits in the blink of an eye.

"Lord, I could have done it myself. There was no need to trouble yourself." Sebas said while Erix glanced at him and said.

"Then stay here and kill anyone that might escape. I'll handle everything myself…..I'm craving some despair." Erix said, baring his fang while his face cast shadow where only his five eyes were seen glowing. He took their soul and body to be stored later for Slaneesh before blitzing towards where the bandits were located guided by Arryn and Amaia who were eager to consume their soul.

Erix morphed his spear into a smaller one turning it into javelin and telekinetically controlled while he showed his ability to fight in close combat. The bandits' guardian couldn't even react when the spear pierced their body and Erix appeared, ripping their body to pieces with his claws alones.

His hands went through one of them and looked into his eyes seeing his despair filled his heart and proceeded to split him in half and stood over their corpse where only his smile and eyes saw through the shadow.

'How exhilarating….the cold sensation of their blood.' Erix hasn't killed anything up close only having used his Aura of despair but it made him feel alive than ever. It felt addicting and he wanted more looking at the cave hideout that had a deep intersection.

"Interesting, there are so many tunnels for them to escape. But it doesn't matter." He coldly said manipulating the space where they'll only lead into Sebas if they manage to escape. Erix continued his hunt and went inside where the Bandits encountered him screaming trying to fight him of yet none was able to withstand his attack.

"Hahahaha, all of you are able to kill and steal innocent yet unable to stand tall before me?" Erix said, dragging two bodies in his hand while the spear hovered over his shoulder, making them quiver in fear.

"Who…no, what the hell are you!?" The bandits screams having already lost all the will to fight and tried to prolong his life. Erix appeared in front of him and choked his neck baring his fangs and said.

"I've always waited even before you were born. I am the end of everything. Your retribution." Erix said plunging his hands straight into his heart made him vomit blood and his heart crushed letting the blood soaked his face before throwing him on the ground as he heard footsteps turning his attention behind him and instantly sensed it.

"My my, to think someone would actually arrive here and cause trouble on one of my property." He turned and faced a middle aged man with horns protruding on his head wearing an armor around Unique Rank and wielded a twin sword arrogantly looking at Erix as he emanated an aura far from the norms.

"To think, their leader would be an Arch Daemon…" Erix muttered knowing that this type of Daemon only exists if they have a name. He is obviously able to defeat it with ease but finds it entertaining that an Arch Daemon chooses to be leader of some bandits.

"Oh you know what I am? Then it means you're strong. Well, don't worry everything will be over soon." He took stances and rushed towards Erix who blankly stared at him then surprised him by blocking his attack with his spear.

"Huh! Not bad! I've been craving a good fight!! Show me what you got, mortal!" He vanished, turning invisible that hid both his energy and presence from Erix but unfortunately his opponent had universal senses and married his attack, surprising the Arch Daemon.

'How did he!? Impossible!! It must be a fluke! Yes! A fluke!!' As an Arch Demon he would be undefeatable capable of decimating entire countries with ease yet someone was able to parry his attack.

"Interesting. You are actually able to keep up but I wonder for how long!" He increased his speed and rushed towards Erix who evaded his blades and spun his pole arm then coated it with his Aura and said.

"Judgment." This caused the arch demon arm to be severed making it roared in pain and stepped back dumbfounded at what had happened. He was alarmed that his defense was bypassed and cut his arms but he's still confident in his victory as he tried to regrow his limb only to be horrified that it wasn't growing.

"What the! What did you do!! Why can't I heal! How!?" He roared in anger while Erix laughed and said.

"Fuck you that's how." The Arch Daemon became in rage and flared his power becoming more monstrous and leaped into Erix only for his vision to become upside down and dropped dead as Erix flashed and severed its head.

"You're soul….it has some use but I don't need your ego. I need your power and summon more useful Daemon later." Erix held its head informing it what he'll do before storing his body and soul in pocket dimension before he continued his hunt having killed all the Bandits with ease and arrived to find where the captured prisoner who was knocked out was convenient.

He finds the Red hair-san, twins-san, blacksmith-san and the Alchemist-san before sending them to his empire leaving it to Yae Miko to provide the help. Erix teleported out outside and went back to the carriage looking at the panel screen returning the time around Kaijin and co who asked what happened and told them that he already took care of it before continuing their ride.
