Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 233: Soul realm



Chapter 233: Soul realm

Destroying the door open entered a muscular man with a sword resting on his shoulder.

"A middler?"  Questioned Waltner in a daze with his jaw dropped.

A smile bloomed on Nix's face since he gained an ally to face this monster.

"Hahaha, Look who is here? A coward who once ran away from me!" The middle mocked Waltner.

"Mr.Waltner, you can see the Middler?" Asked Nix.

"Yes, I share a past with this one. He once possessed me and in turn, tried to kill me."

"Is there a way to fight this?"

"None, You should have a strong desire to hold on to their life or a strong soul realm that would keep the Middler at bay."

"Ohh? Did you two forget that I am here?" The middle questioned looking at Nix's way with an evil grin.

'Indeed according to the ways of survival they are the same as the Yagavaran, the omen of Doom. They cannot be killed or damaged by the likes of us or even the gods thus it makes them invulnerable.' Nix contemplated and waited for the Middler to continue his talk.

"Alright, continue with what you were about to convey? What's the purpose of your visit?" Nix said glaring at the Middler.

"You walked into the temple of Al-zalam and begged him to grant you power saying you'll do whatever he commands yet failed to killer thousands of sentient as a sacrifice. Then again, you also joined the side of those Integrity gods and participated against the Corruptists and in turn led to the unprecedented event. Going back on your words... And your crimes have piled up as your clan members forced the devil who was carrying the divine message... "

"So?" Nix asked calmly without showing the anger on his face. 

"I am here to curse you for life... I can destroy the soul of your loyal dog that's grabbing my foot for possessing everyone inside your clan... Let me possess your body and grant your dog the freedom he needs. He might have a chance to live in the underworld."

"Sure, Place that curse me," Nix replied casually.

"Haha, a true superior, that cares for his subordinates!" The middle commented and escaped out of Remo's mouth and nostrils like a black mist.

And just as he expected the black mist seeped through his body.

[Your soul is being intruded by the Middler]

[You are entering the soul realm...]

"Seems the same as before but the barrier has tightened and the distance of the nova energy is further away. Well, this explains my soul has grown."

He muttered and looked at an unclear image in the far distance. A man sitting atop of a throne waved towards Nix and it appeared as though he possessed a smile on his face. 

'Dark Nix...'

Nix just smiled and waved his hands.

"YOU! How did you enter your own realm?"

The middle whose body was similar to that of a mist yelled.

Nix turned with a smile on his face and slowly walked towards the middler who was in the clutch of S-k1.

Nix knew that this would happen. There should be a vulnerability for an entity that's alive. This wasn't a gamble but, a clear perceptive of Nix. If it's something similar to an astral entity and can be killed with the soul knight yet, he didn't what was in store if he just attacked it from the living world and letting the MIddler enter his soul realm it was much easier. Having the middler being trapped h can easily kill it.

"Kill"

As per Nix's command, the soul knight began choking it tighter but surprisingly the face of someone familiar to him formed on the surface of the black mist.

"Ahh! AHH! Your dog was so loyal that he even left his body grasping me... I could say he is one tenacious bastard but, he'll die along if you erase me now."

'This tricking bastard...'

Nix mumbled and said, "Release."

Slowly Remo walked out of the mist but his neck was grasped from the back by the Middler.

"You make one move his whole existence will be erased... You might not know but there is a chance to bring back the dead if you enter underworld."

"My lord...No, my friend just kill me alongside this cursed soul."

"Why? Why are you loyal to me in the first place? Didn't I destroy your lodging business and kill your subordinates and the assassins under your command?"

"Not at all... Those were just people who leeched on to me and robbed me of my labor. I have often been rejected by clans and companies for being weak. They never really gave me chance. I was once a beggar and slowly became thieve and trickster and dirtied my hands."

"Now...Now, this isn't the time to narrate a story. Nix, Let me leave unscathed and I promise I'll leave at peace."

Nix wasn't ready to believe. If this entity survived for ages it might very well be a cunning one and letting this loss will just raise the victims and he didn't want to let an enemy who'll hinder his path.

'Sacrifice has to be made.' Nix mumbled and commanded.

"Kill"

Immediately the soul knight stabbed its sword into both of them. Remo just smiled at Nix.

Slowly both of them began fading.

"Let me just finish...Nevertheless, I wasn't strong and often ended up getting robbed. I knew I wasn't cut out for fighting and needed protection and my only good thing was managing as a result I ended up with them. Later on, I was hired by you. I should say I enjoyed my life here and have no regrets. I went to brothels banged women and satiated with things I can and I even stole things from our clan's storage and I knew full well that I'll be killed So I just wanted rep..."

Before finishing his soul withered and dissolved into the air.

[The Middler and the soul as been slain]

Once he blinked his eyes he found himself back in the living world. Nix wasn't guilty but at the same time, he felt sorry for Remo. Waltner was still in the same posture and simply blinked his eyes and waited for a reaction from Nix.

"What happened? Are you Nix or the Middler?" He asked in doubt.

"It's Nix and I wonder why you were able to see the Middler when I cannot?"

"Hmm, I don't sense its presence either... Guess it's really you. Plus let me tell you a story of what happened in my last encounter with that middler..."
