Chapter 21: Determine

Silver Moon Hotel.

The members finished with the Kagino family and everyone gathered to praise Shido in the men's room.

"What!!" - Asuna exclaimed anxiously when Rimuru told her what really happened with Akira.

"Is he okay!!" - shouted Alpha, feeling very worried about Akira.

"I don't know," said Rimuru, silently shaking his head.

"This is not the time for this, let's look for Akira first instead of fighting" - At this time Shin intervened and stopped everyone.

"Sigh...that's right, we should find Akira first" - Rimuru sighed and nodded at Shin's suggestion.

"We will split into two groups. I and Alpha will be in one group, and Rimuru and Asuna will be in the other group, because Asuna does not have the strength to protect herself, so she will go with Rimuru, who is the strongest among us." - Shin spoke, and he had the aura of an experienced leader around him while giving orders.

"Hi" x 3

Everyone agreed to Shin's plan because it was better than dispersing and searching, which endangers those who do not have combat power.

"Alpha and I will go to the north of the forest to search, while you will go to the south of the forest to search, and we will keep in touch via telepathy." - Saying this, Shin surrounded Black asked and changed into a mechanized combat suit.

"Go!" - Saying this, Shin and Alpha jumped out of the window and headed to the north of the forest while Rimuru spread his wings and lifted Asuna with his magic power and headed to the south of the forest.

somewhere in the woods

Akira was lying on the ground in a fetal position, not moving at all, and his eyes were blank.

"Do you want to forget?" - an adult spoke into the darkness - "do you want to live your new life and ignore what you did in your past life?"

"…" - Akira stared at this man with blank eyes and didn't say anything.

"Do you want to forget your son and your pupil?" - spoke the man shrouded in shadows again - "and that woman, will she forget all that she has done to you?"

"..." - Upon hearing about the woman, Akira's blank eyes changed and contained a cold killing intent and endless hatred.

"How can I forget her?" - Akira muttered to the man who had a dark smile - "Even if she turns to ashes, I will not forget her."

"That's right, you must not forget that that woman has deceived us for five years straight and robbed us of everything we hold dear" - saying this, the man's personality collapsed and he merged with Akira's shadow.

"Don't forget that you were able to reincarnate, which means that she has this opportunity as well" - the man's voice rang in Akira's head - "And if you reincarnated, you must destroy her soul this time and forever, whatever the price that must be paid."

"..." - Akira's eyes widened in shock upon hearing the man's words, but soon a dark smile crept onto his face, similar to that of an unknown man.

"That's right, even if she doesn't reincarnate, I have to find her soul and destroy her, even if it means fighting with the gods who gave me this opportunity" - muttered Akira and started laughing like a maniac while shouting - "Wait for me, my dear wife!"

"This is a bit bad" - Akira muttered and returned to normal, but he was surrounded by a bloodlust that he could not hide.

"Well, since I told them I won't be back until the morning, that should be enough time for a little massacre" - Akira muttered with a bloodthirsty smile and spread his senses in the surroundings to sense the presence of any person or animal.

"I'm lucky~" - Akira muttered cheerfully as he could sense a few dozen people near him.

The next moment after his muttering, Akira disappeared from the place and headed towards the place where he sensed the presence of people.
