Villain's Journey Towards Destruction

Chapter 51: Jack And Ariane.

In the Headquarters of Heroes Association.

The building was almost in ruins.

The windows were broken, and the walls were crumbling apart.

But everyone has already evacuated the building.

The Heroes helped the citizens to evacuate further away.

''Ariane?! Where are you?!'' Chris was anxiously looking around.

''Chairman!'' One of the Heroes shouted.

''Yes?! Did you find Ariane?!'' Chris shouted hopefully.

The Hero sighed and shook his head, ''No...''

''Then don't say anything!'' Chris growled angrily.

The Hero bit his lips, he was about to ask for his help to evacuate the citizens, but Chris obviously doesn't care about that.

He is too busy trying to find Ariane.

''ARIANE! WHERE ARE YOU!'' Chris roared angrily.

''You are searching for me?'' Chris flinched and turned his head.

He saw an otherworldly beauty with violet-colored hair and perfect-looking eyes.

Her eyes could steal everyone's breath away, and combined with her perfect beautiful face, she was like a goddess.

''A-Ariane? W-What happened to you?'' Chris still recognized her; his breath started quickening after seeing Ariane.

Ariane smiled, ''My love happened.''

''L-Love?'' Chris muttered with a strange look on his face.

''Y-You mean, you are finally accepting my love?!'' Chris shouted with a happy face.

Ariane snorted and shook her head, ''No... I am already taken.''

''W-What?!'' Chris roared with shock.

Ariane pointed towards the Bottomless Pit.

Chris turned his head towards the Bottomless Pit and raised an eyebrow.

Most of the Heroes also turned their gazes towards the Bottomless Pit, but it looked the same as ever.

Their Headquarters were only a few kilometers away from the Bottomless Pit, and they could clearly see the fence surrounding the Bottomless Pit.

But then...

*BOOM*

The earth shook once again, and crimson-colored energy left the Bottomless Pit and pierced straight to the sky.

''W-What is happening?!'' Chris cried out.

Ariane had a broad smile, ''My man sure loves to be fancy.''

Under shocked faces of everything... A hand appeared from the Bottomless Pit.

''T-That... C-Can't be...'' Chris muttered with a pale face.

Heroes looked with widened eyes.

There was also the cameraman who was recording the Heroes Annual Meeting.

They recorded the entire evacuation, but now he is recording the Bottomless Pit.

The citizens who were watching TV's tried to look more closely.

Soon... A figure was seen climbing out of the Bottomless Pit.

He has long crimson-colored hair with red eyes, and a malnourished face.

His body was extremely skinny, almost like bones.

His messy-looking beard made him look older than he actually is.

The crimson-haired figure stood up straight, his aura giving despair towards everyone.

Not many could recognize him... but Chris could, and few of the Heroes.

''J-Jack!'' Chris shouted accidentally.

His voice echoed in the city.

Everyone watching TV and nearby Heroes heard him clearly.

That name... Brought back the fear they were hiding.

Kenturion's Daughter, Kara, went pale while her husband felt incredible fear assaulting his nerves.

Their three children were already old enough to know what had happened to their grandpa.

They went pale, trying to resist their tears.

The man who they thought had died... The one who killed their kind grandpa... Is alive after all.

Everyone who was watching the TV in Kindland was shocked like never before.

Soon the word of Jack being alive kept spreading, and more and more people arrived at their homes to watch TV.

Jack pushed back his long bangs, and his eyes were more visible.

Red eyes, they didn't look as demonic as before after the black color in his eyes had disappeared.

His red eyes looked extremely beautiful, like they were gems.

The soldiers who were located near Bottomless Pit was panicking.

They thought that Jack was dead and that this was one of the safest places to be guarding.

But they were wrong... Very wrong!

Jack looked at his grave not far from him; he pointed his finger towards the grave.

*BOOM*

A crimson-colored beam left his finger and destroyed the grave.

The beam traveled through the air and destroyed the fence surrounding the Bottomless Pit.

Jack walked through the broken fence and started walking in the streets with a carefree look.

The soldiers were hiding, trying not to make any noise.

Jack left the Southern Area and started walking towards the Headquarters of Heroes Association.

His walk lasted for 30 minutes until he finally arrived there.

Chris and the Heroes were covered in some kind of violet-colored energy.

They all looked at Ariane with despairing faces.

Ariane smiled sweetly and waved, ''Hey, Dear!''

Chris and other Heroes gasped.

''D-Dear?!'' Chris went pale.

Jack smiled and stopped walking; he was only a few meters away from the Heroes.

''Ariane... What is this?'' Jack asked with a smile.

Ariane giggled, ''They were trying to run away.''

Jack nodded and waved his hand, ''Let the other Heroes leave; we only need Chris.''

Ariane smiled and opened his mouth, ''Leave this place.''

The Heroes' eyes turned violet; they nodded dumbly and started walking away like robots.

Jack walked in front of Chris.

''Chris... Kenturion's Adopted Child.''

Chris was pale; the words dear echoed in his ears. His heart felt like it got stabbed hundred times after seeing Ariane's loving look aimed towards Jack.

The cameraman was still filming the scene because his eyes were violet-colored.

The words ''Keep filming.'' Echoing in his ears.

''J-Jack... W-What do you want?'' Chris kept stuttering over his words, extreme fear painting his face.

Ariane chuckled, ''Where is the fearless Chairman of the Heroes Association who threatened me to become his wife.''

Everyone who watched TV gasped after hearing her words.

Especially her parents.

They were scared for Ariane's safety because Jack was only a few meters away from her, but then her words made them extremely angry towards Chris.

Jack felt pity towards Ariane; he could see her fear while looking at Chris.

Even though she is now a hundred times stronger than him, she has suffered a lot at the hands of Heroes.

First Star Warrior and Green Dream.

Now Chris.

Jack approached Ariane.

Ariane turned her gaze towards Jack, and her fear-filled gaze turned into a loving one instantly.

Jack grabbed her chin and locked his lips with hers.

Ariane put her soft-looking arms over his head and put more force on the kiss.

Chris gasped; his heart felt like it was about to explode.

The citizens who were watching TV also couldn't believe their eyes.

Jack stopped kissing her and tenderly rubbed her cheek.

Ariane had a broad smile while feeling Jack's loving touch.

''Will you do it... Or me?'' Jack asked.

Ariane went silent; she clenched her fist, ''I-I have to be one...''

Jack nodded and stepped aside.

Ariane walked in front of Chris and looked at him straight in the eye.

''A-Ariane... WHY HIM!'' Chris roared angrily; he didn't understand why!

Ariane smiled, ''I don't know either... But when he saved me... I felt my heartbeat increasing rapidly, and my cheeks got a lot hotter... And after that... Every moment I was awake... I couldn't stop thinking about him...''

Her brilliant violet-colored eyes became even brighter.

''Chris...'' Ariane's voice and face became more beautiful than ever before in the eyes of Chris.

Chris' cheeks were dyed in pink, and his heartbeat was going faster than ever before.

Slowly, Chris' eyes started turning violet.

''Chris...'' Her words echoed in his ears.

''Y-Yes...'' Chris muttered.

''Kill yourself for me... Please.''

Chris' eyes were completely violet.

''Y-Yes... My love.'' Chris muttered, and put his hand on his neck, and grabbed tightly.

He crushed his throat instantly.

''GUGGGHGHHG!'' Chris' violet-colored eyes became normal once again, and he saw his situation.

Fear assaulted all his nerves, but the pain of his crushed throat made him cry in agony.

''AGHHHHJH!'' But since his throat was cursed, his cry of agony sounded like he was choking on his blood.

Light started disappearing from Chris' eyes, and soon his body became lifeless.

Chairman of the Heroes Association, Chris Sauron... Is dead!

The citizens who were watching from TV couldn't believe it...

Again another Chairman of Heroes Association died!

Ariane's parents couldn't believe that their sweet daughter had killed someone.

Ariane turned her gaze towards the camera and sadly smiled, ''I am sorry, mom... dad... My place is next to Jack... Please forgive me...''

Her parents closed their eyes, and slight teardrops appeared on the corner of their eyes.

They knew how much their daughter was hurting past 4 years, they didn't know why, and they always wanted to know.

But Ariane never told them the reason...

Now they know the reason.

The Jack... Apparently died 4 years ago, and after that, Ariane was in pain every day.

They wiped their tears and muttered, ''Jack... Keep her safe...''

They know that Ariane from now on... Is a villain!

She killed the Chairman of the Heroes Association in front of Kindland... And that is one of the highest-ranked crimes...

She cannot be pardoned... She will have to live her entire life as a villain, being hunted every day...

But Ariane had a smile; she knew what killing Chris meant.

But when she looked at Jack.... She knows that being next to him is the safest place in the world.
