Extra's Path To Demon King-Chapter 40: Little Demon [1]

Another thing about this world is that the nobles, the royal family, and various authorities are just normal humans. Who rules over the common people? While the mages or the warriors don't bother with them. They are the real power, behind the scenes.

As the mage association is the greatest authority here. Every day, Axel continued to be more and more disgusted by the disgusting behavior of these bastards. He couldn't wait to tear every single one of them apart. A week had passed since he started working for Jared.

Axel could probably kill them all. But the problem is location. Finally, an opportunity arrived. Jared was taking him to another hideout, there was no one else with them. They were going towards another hideout of theirs to retrieve some goods that the 9-year-old would need to carry.

They were passing through a forest in the middle, seeing no one around, Axel released the entirety of his killing intent on Jared, all the bad memories of his entire life condensed into one desire. The desire to kill, his untimely death as Tyler Cross, the past trauma of Axel Nomrad, and the suppression of his family and the entire life of Ashborn. Then there were all the atrocities that he saw with his own eyes caused by Jerome and his group.

Jared, on the other hand, was petrified, as if an entire world had been put on his shoulders, a primal fear took over his entire being as his own began to tremble, and survival instinct took over his mind. Jared glanced backwards and the little disgusting brat he always bullied, who never dared to look him in the eye.

But that little brat looked like the very manifestation of evil in this moment as the little boy's eyes had now turned sinister, blood red, while he had a hideous grin on his face. The fear that Jared felt at this moment defied comprehension. He couldn't breathe.

Jared's knee hit the ground as he was unable to stand anymore. The little demon took small steps towards his prey, that generated an even greater fear in Jared. He spoke in a barely audible whisper, "Who are you?"

Axel answered as he continued to smile, "You know I wanted to say so many things to a scum like you and kill you so slowly and beautifully, for all the suffering you caused, for so many innocent people you ruined. How many innocent girls did you rape? How many families did you ruin?"

"But that's fine, it wasn't your fault entirely. You simply followed the example of your older brother. I will save all the words I have for him. Don't worry, unlike you, your older brother won't be having such a peaceful death. I promise that, Sir Jared," announced Axel ruthlessly to his victim.

"YOU ASK WHO I AM, JARED?"

"I am the demon this world has created," stated Axel in a chilling tone as he took the knife out of Jared's waist and, with a swift motion, he severed his head cleanly.

Axel's killing intent immediately vanished, but a slight headache started to affect him. Axel threw the body in the bushes, and animals would eat that up in no time, while he buried the severed head in the ground.

His initial goal was to simply kill his target while luring them into an uncharted area or jungle. But now he had different plans. Those thugs all definitely saved up a lot of money; at least Jerome definitely had a lot of money hidden somewhere. Why not take that as well, alongside the prize for killing him? Then clean up all the other thugs and gangs of the city in the same manner, while getting all of their money.

After that, if we followed the trail, we would find the low-ranking noble behind all the thugs. But that would depend on who exactly that noble is. Axel punched himself in the face, It was time for the next part of the plan.

Axel revealed to Jerome and his underlings, while crying and sobbing like a wretch, that Jared had been kidnapped. Jerome was obviously furious beyond belief. Yet, he was also extremely suspicious as he beat up Axel like a dog. To get the full truth. But physical pain is something that rarely affected Axel anymore. The things he went through, especially the entire life of Ashborn, were a torture that hit far harder than anyone could imagine. He was already broken.

After confirming that things were indeed just as Axel said, Jerome with his whole gang went to that location. They took some guns with them as well. Yes, this world had guns. But those things or any other weapons only worked against humans. Axel was also with them. Yet, his body was a mess, but it didn't matter.

Soon, they all reached that location, but no one was there. But Jerome, being the intelligent leader of the thugs he was, discovered the remains of someone dead. There were some parts of the dead body left, and the animals were eating it. Jerome instantly had a bad feeling for some reason.

Then another member called out to Jerome to see something, everyone's focus shifted on the bloody clothes on the side, and there was a sign, a logo specifically of their gang. Jerome's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized that these clothes were his little brother's.

At that very moment, a maddening laughter of an immature voice was heard. The sound itself was simply haunting and wrong in every way. All 11 members, including Jerome, looked back slowly, and they saw the little brat who was covered in blood since he was beaten close to death laughing like he had gone insane.

"AHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAAAAA HAHAAAAAAAAHHA"

A thick killing intent, as heavy as a mountain, pressed onto every single one of the members as they all froze in their tracks. A boundless fear had taken over all over their minds as many of them pissed themselves in fear. Axel's eyes glowed crimson as he resembled a little demon sent from hell.

For some reason, a sadistic part of him felt the situation incredibly funny. "Yes, that is your little brother Jared. This is the result of all the crimes that your little brother has committed. Next is all of your turn."

"Though considering my own situation, I don't have the right to lecture anyone. Since you're at least living a life much better than mine," stated Axel with a laugh.

Jerome was utterly furious knowing that it was this little piece of shit that killed his little brother, but the anger vanished when that boundless intent pressed onto them even harder as they knelt on the ground unable to stand anymore.

Axel walked past them as the thugs were kneeling down, he carved out the head of Jared from the place where he buried it, and showed it to all of them smiling. He squeezed the cheeks of the severed head of Jerome, as if trying to make it smile.
