Age of Adventure

Killing intent billows around him like he is the personification of a demon

Each area he passed made the warriors who had low mental resilience would be stunned and Aero would just do a simple slash to take their life.

They were stunned because of fear when Aero passes around them. That is how powerful the killing intent that he had now.

The killing mist that spreads out of him is becoming even wider and it disrupt the minds of the enemies, weaken their bodies and increased their fear towards him.

Each strikes that Aero unleashes is infused with the killing intent that is now growing inside his heart. As such, his strike become heavier and become even sharper.

Even if there is a boulder in front of him, one slash is all it took to crumble it to dust. Not slice it into two.

But turning it into dust. This means his attack possesses a certain sharp cutting energy that disintegrate the boulder entire composition.

This is how killing intent strengthen its practitioner.

Aero eyes slowly turning redder as each moment passes. There is a hint of killing intent even in his gaze and reddish veins appears very clearly on his arm

One did not have to imagine the height of his power right now. He was already very strong before his killing intent was activated.

It is not quite right to call him just strong. He was divinely strong, blessed by the Curse of the Styx, one of the rivers of the Underworld.

There is also the blessing of Athena upon him, the Goddess of War herself, blesses him.

With this much advantages and abilities stacked on him, it would be quite extraordinary in itself, if Aero did not become as strong as he is now.

Aero one slash would slice dozens of people at once.

They were all sliced cleanly that before their sliced part slide down from their body, they did not even realize that they were already cut down

Those who were slight out of range would suffer some injuries and those who is in close range had only one fate, which is death

Aero slowly become more accustomed to this killing intent usage as with each strike, he is familiarizing himself with these emotions that is bubbling inside his heart

This skill strengthens him but gnaws on his sanity.

He had also begun to feel more suitable in killing people.

After all, during Purgatory he had use it once. However, it is not only benefits that the Killing intent brought to him.

he also experiences negative feeling.

It is a feeling of sadness, despair and loneliness. He did not know how to explain this feeling that made him feel all of this.

As he keeps killing, there is some images in his mind flashing by. A memory of some sort. Aero think this is one of his memory when he is in Western Heaven

An image of a woman, in a bathtub, water spilling on the side. For some reason these images are vividly seared into his mind

The water spills out from the white tub. The woman looks lifeless but beautiful. Was it a smile? Or was it a sad expression on her face? Aero could not see it clearly.

She then slowly submerged herself into the tub and the water spills out more quickly. The water that spills out is in a different color.

Aero is now in front of that white tub. And he looks at the water that is flowing around his feet.

And the water is red. And he swears he could smell blood. Seeing it, he felt his head is filled with all kinds of memories.

He saw a woman holding out his hand. Aero saw himself shook that hand

"I hoped I didn’t come off as rude the last time we met. My name is Amelia. You could call me Amy"

And she smiles at him and there is this feeling of warmth. Like he was out in a beautiful day of summer, and playing under the sun

Then another memory appeared in his mind.

He is holding the hand of that woman as he leaned to her ears and said

"I’m holding your hand" she blushes and said

"I know"

"You said you changed your mind so why let me?" she leaned on his ears and whispers to him while smiling

"I don’t know either" And then there is a slight chuckle from him. And Aero also smiles.

And then he asks her, even though he too was smiling and chuckling.

"Why are you smiling? Is this the time to smile?"

"I just find it funny" she said

"What is so funny?" he asked.

She turned to face him and said

"When I’m with you, I felt anything is possible" she said to him and Aero could finally see the face clearly. She was beautiful. That is his first thought.

He looks at her lips and he gulped. And the nape of her neck invite desire. He could smell her and he felt the scent is very familiar.

She just smiles a naughty smile

"If you want to kiss me, you can" she said flashing an inviting smile to him

"Even if you do not ask, I will help myself" Aero said and he grabbed her and kissed her passionately. He felt special. Because he is with her. Her scent fills him.

Then the memory change and there is that image of the white tub and the red water spilling out from the tub and her face submerged inside the full water tub, that lifeless face.

All of those happy memories is like a curse now.

Each happy moment, had all led to that scene of him, in front of that tub, seeing red water filling the floors of the bathroom and all the happy memories crumbles.

Aero felt desolation, fear, anger, despair, all of this negative feeling nearly controls him.

He almost become mad with sadness.

No, that is not quite accurate. If there is something beyond sadness, it is that feeling he is feeling right now

Sadness could not describe the feeling he felt when he saw that red water. The memory seems vague and uncertain and yet, it affected his mind negatively

Aero roars

’HAH!’ and he regains back his mind. It is still dizzy and his eyes seems to produce tears. He felt sadness that is beyond him. He felt all kinds of emotions he had not thought he had.

All kinds of question fill his mind. Who is that woman? Amy. He answered the question himself

Amelia. Amy. He thought to himself to never forget this name.

he believes that the memory that flashed by inside his mind is the memory of when he is the Western Heaven.

He suddenly remembers he is still in a battlefield and then he looks around him. And it shocks him

When he looks around him, around five-meter radius area around him, there is an empty zone. All around this empty zone is corpses.

The Veranis soldiers look at him with trepidation and fear all written in their face.

Their hands are trembling and some were stunned so bad that they kneel in the ground because their feet could not move

In Aero mind, all of that happens in just a few seconds and he did not have any recollection of killing people.

He thought he was rendered unconscious when that memory flashed by inside his mind

But what he didn’t know, what he thought spans only a few seconds is actually a few minutes

Five minutes to be exact

And in that span of five minute something shocking had happened in the battlefield for the soldiers of Veranis who pitted themselves against Aero
