37 The birth of a Monster

" You are just a whores son. A slave who should be treated like such. It was that woman who treated you like such. I didn't want to kill her as at least her body was useful but it's a shame that she died but you survived." The glasses man said with a face of anger.

The air became heavy. Every single soldier started to emit such killing intent that even breathing was impossible.

After the glasses man completed his sentence. The village chief looked at him as if he was an idiot. Amber was barely holding back her tears as the things which were said to Claude were because of her mistakes. Ares fainted after coming out of the village hall due to his health both mentally and physically. Eren was gritting his teeth, holding back the urge to kill the glasses man as he was restricted from doing anything flashy by Claude.

Claude didn't say anything for a while as if he was in deep thought.

After a few seconds he finally spoke :-

" Yes I am a son who's whole existence is against the law. Yes I don't have a father. Yes, my own mother doesn't want me...." He said while his face was covered in shadows.

" But is that the only reason why people hate me ? Am I truly not allowed to have happiness in my life ? Does this world really hate me so much for the crimes I haven't done ? Is this the reason why I am a monster ?" Claude asked.

Everyone present was silent. Except for a few people everyone present from villagers to soldiers used to think of Claude like he has stated. There were very few open minded people in this world. People always tend to create boundaries. Boundaries of species, race, religion, money and status. For them Claude was a liability for the society.

" It seems you have understood your position, heh." The glasses man said with a smirk.

" Hahahaha….." Claude started to laugh like a maniac.

But no one doubted that this kid had a mental problem because they themselves have witnessed his strength and authority. What they were feeling right now was a simple yet complex emotion :- Fear.

Claude released his Aura of Pride. Everyone present felt like they were in front of a supreme being. Unlike Eren's Aura of Bloodlust which carried his desire and pleasure in killing Claude's Aura of Pride was a bit different. It did not hurt the person in his Aura like Eren, it directly affected their minds creating a short but powerful illusion of an absolute being that no matter what they can't defy.

" If you people think that I am an anomaly then why didn't you oppose my existence. Why ? I know the answer is because I was protected by Ares or to be precise a Sword saint." Claude said with a devilish smile which emphasized his beauty.

Even though the people around him were under his Aura they did not stop thinking. They knew what Claude was talking about. If Claude was born in the family of a farmer they would have labelled his family as heretics and wanted them to be removed from the village. But Claude was the son of Ares the head knight, one of the 5 saint ranks of the duchy. Trying to do the same with him as they might have done to the farmer's family was plain sucide.

" Then why don't I ask you something. Why don't I become the monster you think I am, huh ?" Claude asked, cancelling his Aura with a mischievous smile.

" Wh-what do you mean ?" The glasses man asked. Scared shitless by the show of Claude's supremacy.

" Flames roar " Claude said just these two words.

Everything became silent for a while until they saw a huge shadow. The shadow appeared in front of the glasses man. What the people saw left them shocked at the same scared shitless.

Claude activated his Aura on everyone except the glasses man. He forced them to look at the scene which was going to unfold in front of them.

Flames roar the majestic lion beast stood there staring at the glasses man as if he was a dead body. The glasses man froze the moment he looked in the eyes of the fiery beast. Even though it should not be possible he saw a future, a future of his own inevitable death.

The flames roar had already received the orders from Claude. He was very sorry for the loss of his pride's member and at the same time he was angry at the person who caused this loss. He wanted to destroy the person who just not harmed but killed a family member of his pride.

" Ellen, the closest person I ever had as a mother. You might have become my mother if just we were able to spend a little more time. But I am going to give you as well as me a gift today." Claude said with a sorrowful look.

When Claude stopped, the flames roar casted a small magic ball and threw it towards the hand of the glasses man. Before the glasses man can even scream in pain the flames roar ripped the burnt hand of the man with his sharp teeths and chew it then spat it on the ground. The pain along with the occuring trauma of his hand being ripped off, chewed and spat by the beast.

" I will become way stronger than you can even imagine. I will become an existence that neither you nor anyone can neither ignore nor oppose." Claude said with a sadistic grin.

The flames roar the same way as before towards the other hand of the man. Making him handless.

" I will become selfish. I won't care for anyone as long as my goal is achieved. People around me might be good or evil but I will never be good or bad. As long as my goal is achieved I will become both good and evil." Claude said and the flames roar did the same as before but this time with one of his legs.

" I will abandon these emotions. These emotions which can change the sanest man alive into lunatic. These emotions are the main reason behind my suffering and pain." Claude said while his face was covered in shadows.

The flames roar did the same as before but with the other leg and the only limb of the glasses man.

" P-please, forgive me..." The glasses man said with an expression of despair as if he was talking to the devil himself.

Claude simply started walking towards him and continued :-

" Last but not least. I will become cruel and cold. You have given me this name of monster just because I was born. I will embrace this name completely and become the embodiment of hatred and futility itself."

When Claude finally concluded he was already in front of the glasses. Claude simply raised his foot and stomped on the glasses man's head. With his stronger psychic and Aura, the ground around him cracked while the head of the glasses man got buried in the ground killing him on the spot.
