Demon and decision.

My left eye started spinning, blood gushed out from it, and them...

[Shift]

In less than a heartbeat, I was already t my destination, the rooftop of a middle-sized building I saw from a long-distance away. The moment I arrived at the rooftop I felt it, the exhaustion and impact of what I was doing catching up to me. Kneeling on the ground I made a herculean effort to simply get up.

By all intents and purposes, I should be a dead man. Heck, that explosion in the hospital should've killed me. Not only was I incredibly exhausted physically, but my [Ki] was also exhausted as well. That explosion should have killed me, but it didn't. I survived.

Survived only to lose everything that mattered to me, survived only to let my rage and hate consume me completely. Survived simply to get a final act of revenge, because I don't care about anything anymore.

But the same way the excessive use of the [Mangekyo Sharingan] leads to blindness, my actions have consequences. My legs are absolutely destroyed and said cracks spilling purple flame keep growing and growing, they have already reached my torso, and if the cracks around my eyes are any indication I am probably overusing my [Mangekyo Sharingan] to the point the area around my eyes started cracking. Also, the continuous use of my [Mangekyo Sharingan] to use [Susanoo], [King Crimson], and [Shift] is undoubtedly eroding my eyes and making me closer and closer to blindness.

You could say that the biggest reason I am not falling apart right now is due to [Ripple]. For some miracle even in the deep abyss, I am right now I am unconsciously using [Ripple] as a buffer, a hamper. It is literally reducing the magnitude of impacts my body is handling, with how excessively I've been using my [Mangekyo Sharingan] principally the [Susanoo] the worst ability in terms of causing blindness, I should be feeling way more of its effects.

But liking it or not the way I am abusing myself will have consequences. My left eyes right now is a good example I've been spamming it to reach the [Black Forest defense Group] base faster, I didn't hesitate, I would jump as high as I could and have a bird eyes view of my way, and choose the farthest point I could see to use [Shift]. But the fact that I kneeled in the ground even with my [Fury] burning like right now just shows that my body can't endure this forever. My [Fury] has kept my body together in the same way guts [Berseker Armor] maintained his body together, so it is no surprise that the moment my [Fury] subsides is the moment where all my debts came crashing down on me. My body is literally going to break apart sooner or later.

But that doesn't matter, what matters is finally killing the bastard leader of S.U.C. the arrogant prick that fancies himself the puppet master. The guy that thought his actions don't have consequences, the bastard Kaiser.

Crouching, I jump as high as I could doing the same motion I've been doing all this time to reach my destination. Finding my aim on a pretty far away and isolated building rooftop, my left eye started spinning, blood gushing out.

[Shift]

I less than a heartbeat I was already on my destination, and like previously I immediately felt the impacts of my [Mangekyo Sharingan] excessive use. I immediately steeled myself and was able to get up.

Looking around I reached one of the rich parts of the city, but instead of everything being neatly and packed, like in Wei's neighborhood, this one was huge packed forests with some mansion here and there. Some people can even mistakenly call this countryside, right now I am on the tales building as close as possible to this place, my target isn't far from here, but I know I will need to run on the forest for a bit until I arrive there.

Crouching again I jumped as high as I could, my left eye spinning, blood gushing out. The cracks around my left eye started growing and reached my cheek, purple flame spilling out of them. Aiming at a particularly tall tree I used my left eye ability.

[Shift]

In less than a heartbeat, I appeared on the tree, sadly the branch I chose couldn't handle my weight properly and broke. Midfall I suppressed my body reaction the max I could, gathering strength on my right arm lighting started appearing on my right hand, close to the ground I punched as hard as I could aiming to reduce my impact.

*BAAAAAM*

A loud sound making to an explosion reverberated through the forest, some birds that were around immediately started flying probably afraid of the loud noise, which also undoubtedly alerted everything in the vicinity, and I mean everything.

My punch effectively helped me, but cracks started forming on my right hand right now. Fuck, I could've handled that way better. Anyway, why does it matter?

Looking around with my [Magekyo Sharingan] I analyzed my surrounding, this is officially enemy territory and I would kill myself before someone shot at my back. After some long seconds of analyzing my surroundings, I finally detect some signals of human life, and they were in the right direction too.

Bundles of [Ki] show that Kaiser didn't hold back even when it comes to the security of the surrounding forest, and I am sure as hell they heard my arrival... I can go two ways about this, try to be cautious and use [King Crimson] if I am in a pinch, or simply blitz through everything with my [Susanoo]. I already have my answer, why the hell did I stop?

Gritting my teeth I draw deep breaths, slowly a red skeletal ribcage started forming around me. It was faster than the first time, but the agony my body is thought was still slowing it down considerably. I may be unable to feel pain due to my [Fury], but my body still shows the side effect of agonizing pain, strange chills on my back, blood gushing out of both my eyes, cracks start spreading and growing all over my body, trembling members if I am not moving, flames spewing from wounds and cracks alike. [Susanoo] is really the worst of the [Mangekyo Sharingan] in terms of side effects. But consequences right now is the least of my concerns.

The red skeletal form of my [Susanoo] slowly gained muscle, veins, and eventually skin. Then clothes started growing over the red ethereal warrior, over the clothes the draconic armor soon covered everything. Finally, my [Susanoo] reached its current peak, its armored form, the effects on my body would be excruciating if I could feel pain.

When my [Susanoo] was forming, it undoubtedly knocked down all the trees around me, this of course alerted Kaiser's guards which immediately went to see what this was all about, only to get face to face with a gigantic red ethereal warrior wearing dragon-like armor.

Fear gripping their hearts triggering the immediate response of fight or flight. But while they hesitate, while their brains put inhibitions on their action hampering their survival, I didn't have the same problem. With a wave of my [Susanoo] right hand a shining red sword appeared, following my commands, the [Susano] slashed horizontally with the sword.

The slash was so great it utterly decimated everything in front of me, trees were cut on their bases falling down like cheap wood, all the guards die instantly either being obliterated or bisected in two. No survivors as it should be, the [susanoo] is not something that could be easily stopped.

My left eye was spinning, blood flowing out of my tear ducts, aiming at the farthest distance I could I use my ability.

[Shift]

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Trees fell or were run over, the combination of [Susanoo] and [Shift] obliterating everything that was in its way, a very long corridor completely free of trees formed into the forest, a very scary sight that can easily be compared with a bombardment made in a straight line. But this visage is somewhat even worse, even scarier. As if the giant, four-armed, red-colored, ethereal demon wasn't enough.

This time the guards didn't come to see what all the fuss was about, seeing what I was capable of doing they immediately retreated to the mansion. I didn't care, I have my objective and they aren't included in it, they are simply the obstacles they made themselves, if they don't disturb me I won't disturb them either.

Looking at the distance I was finally able to see the mansion, it was really a spectacular thing in the middle of the forest and it would be more accurate to call it a villa than a mansion which how big and how complex it is. I didn't hesitate.

[Shift]

And in less than a heartbeat, I was there looking at the entrance gate of said building. But what surprised me the most was that Chun-Woo was there guarding the gate like some loyal dog.

"What the hell?"(Chun-Woo).

Normally I would instakill an obstacle like this, but I still held some respect for said obstacle, so I simply said.

"Either you get out of my way or you die."(Jin).

My voice sounded dry, distorted like my throat was deeply wounded, and if I go by the cracks that have grown on it and are currently spewing purple flames, I am definitely not surprised.

"I-I... I will go."(Chun-Woo).

At that moment Chun-Woo felt great relief, like the universe itself was recognizing the significance of his decision, he felt like he had multiple knives held at his neck, but the moment he backed down, he could only compliment himself due to the sheer relief he is feeling.

And when he moved away from eh demon into the forest he finally saw that he made the right decision, looking at the destruction the demon left in its wake Chun-Woo couldn't help but pat himself on the back for his foresight. He can't avenge his master if he is dead no? It may take decades but he is pretty sure someone like him can do it whiteout sucking Kaiser off. Heck, this may even feel better than what he doing at least. Well, it would at least be more personal if he does it himself.

With these toughs, Chun-Woo ran inside of the forest. He would later disappear for years to come, training and amassing power for himself, becoming the unofficial leader of multiple underworld organizations, and decades later he would successfully avenge his master and become the de facto leader of Korea on both surface and underworld. In his life, he held multiple titles; prodigy, genius, Goomoonryong, The Man Without Fear, The Invincible, The Avenger, The Supreme.

But he was never arrogant or conceited, when such toughs surfaced in his mind he would often think back on this day, the day he saw a Real Demon in the flesh, the day he made a decision that changed his life, the day he truly became fearless, he would think back and he would laugh, laugh at how petty and small those arrogant humans really are, he would laugh at how small their world truly is. Because, why fear a measly human when you saw a real Demon?
