My King System

Chapter 207 - For Fun



"Serve your king!" 

"Meurig!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Have you gone insane from fear before I have even gotten the chance to hit you? Well, that's too bad, you are going to die in this place and no one will come to save you," said Christopher in an arrogant tone as he showed off his sharp K-9 teeth.

...

In a whole other continent, Meurig who was continuing with the task he was given over a year ago being that he needed to continuously clear the first dungeon over and over again, once he had heard Yuki's words, he instantly defeat the dungeon one last time as he was still in the middle of it when Yuki had called. However, now that it was time for action, Meurig wouldn't disappoint his king. 

Within moments of just getting out of the dungeon, Meurig seemed to merge with the shadows on the ground as he travelled between the continents in the matter of seconds. 

...

"This is the end for you! Don't worry though, Arthur will see you in hell very soon!" said Christopher as he swung his bat at Yuki's head. However, in that moment, a shadow emerged from the ground and began to rebuild itself. 

"What the hell is that thing?!" Arthur asked as he watched a disfigured monster appear right in front of Yuki to catch the bat which Christopher had swung in hopes of killing Yuki. 

"Master, you called?" Meurig asked as he stared at Christopher with his white blank eyes as the bat disintegrated in Meurig's hands. 

"Oh I see, so is your ability to control dungeon monsters? No wonder I remembered that name, Meurig. Although I don't understand how you activated your ability without announcing it. Isnead you said something weird. I guess maybe you can still activate your ability without saying it. Not that it matters now, You'll be dead soon enough!" said Christopher as he let go of his disentergatring bat and allowed the hilt of it to turn into ashes as well. Once Christopher had let go of what was remaining of his weapon, he brought his fists together as he prepared to battle Meurig. 

"Hey Arthur, what do you know about this Christopher guy? Do you have some sort of connection with him or something? What is the reason for all these guys wanting to kill you?' Yuki asked as he turned to face Arthur. 

"Christopher and I went way back. However, that has nothing to do with why all these guys are trying to kill me. The real reason why I'm being hunted by them is because the gap in our levels is too great. As such, they must illuminate me so that the race becomes more equal. I mean it's only right since things aren't fair for them because no matter how many times they go inside a dungeon and risk their lives, they'll never compare to me because I'll earn exp faster than them and you should know why that is. But as for these knuckleheads, they'll never find out a single thing," said Arthur with a smile. 

"My king, shall I erase this insect from existence?! He seems to have the intention to kill you!" said Meurig as he turned towards Yuki to get advice on his next move.

"It's fine, kill him. He deserves to die here anyway," said Yuki in a cold tone.

"HOLD IT!" Arthur yelled as he interrupted Meurig from finishing the job.

"My king, shall I kill him too? He seems to be a bother?" Meurig asked Yuki.

"No, leave him be. I want to hear him out. So Arthur, what do you have to say that would have interrupted my serve from killing our common enemy?" Yuki asked in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Please don't kill him, I know it seems selfish of me but I don't want him to die. I want him to continue living. I know that he attacked me but that was because of jealousy. If I were to show him kindness, maybe he would change," said Arthur, which really struck a chord with Christopher.

"Don't worry Arthur, I won't lose this battle but I'll still kill you! I don't know who told you that I would be dying here but they're lying! I'll be the only one to walk out of this room alive!" Christopher yelled before a second later, he found himself on the ground with Meurig's palm right at his face. Christopher could sense the evil death that lingered in Meurig's palm which made him swallow his spit in fear as he really believed that he had underestimated his enemy.

"Who allowed you to talk?!" Meurig yelled as he was close to ending everything if Yuki just gave the word for it.

"No please! He didn't mean any of that, you see, Christopher is my brother," said Arthur, which caught Yuki by surprise.

"To be more honest, he's my foster brother. We both grew up in the same orphanage. We were raised together, ate together, and played together! There wasn't a single person I was closer to than him. Even when we both got adopted, we requested that we would get adopted together and our foster parents agreed and took us in. They were genuinely good people," Arthur began to speak.

"They had taken us in while everyone else looked at us like monsters. We were just kids, being alienated like that really affected us so when we were finally taken in, we were grateful for it. Even in this world, me and Christopher stayed together," said Arthur.

"What happened to your foster parents? They seem like good people so where did they go in this world?" Julius asked as he wanted to know where such kind people could be.

"What do you mean? We killed them," said Arthur in a nonchalant tone.

"The man reason me and Christopher were sent to that orphanage was because we had killed our own parents. We found each other at the orphanage where I was already there a year before Christopher. Once we got adopted, we faked being good kids that were just misunderstood and killed our parents. Of course they were just trying to examine our brain activities for their latest report at their jobs. Whether they really cared about us or not, we would never know. Since the day before this world had come into existence, we had killed both our parents in cold blood. We were actually lucky though, if it wasn't for this world being created, we would've been imprisoned. Worse yet, those who were imprisoned in our previous world would also be imprisoned in the world. We managed to escape right before we were caught. It was truly a miracle," said Arthur as he walked up to Christopher.

"isn't that right... brother?" Arthur asked as he punched a whole into the heart of Christopher who just stared back with a blank and helpless stare.

"Let's go, I'm done with my business here. I have no reason to stay here any longer," said Arthur as he left the room with the blood of his brother on his face as if it was nothing.

"Hey, what was that? Was that story you told me actually true?" Yuki asked in a confused tone. 

"Of course it is. I wouldn't lie to my right hand man. I mean not just because of that. After you've killed many more than me. Plus my actions were justified," said Arthur as the two walked out of the castle-like building from the far off kingdom as they were ready to go home. 

"Wow, I didn't expect the so-called hero to be a psycho who secretly enjoys killing," said Yuki. 

"What can I say, I guess I'm just full of surprises," Arthur replied in a casual tone. 

"So why don't you go inside dungeons? That's usually why I go to dungeons all on my own. When I'm alone, I can let loose and kill as many monsters as possible without feeling the least bit bad because they were going to die in the first place. I think you would enjoy it as well," said Yuki as he tried to help out Arthur who he saw many similarities with an deven related to him on a certain level. However upon hearing Yuki's words, Arthur sighed before replying. 

"The reason why I refuse to battle against the monsters in the dungeons is because it's like killing mindless zombies. There's no fun in it. They just become punching bags which eventually fall down and it is at that point that they are considered dead. Those monsters can't speak properly nor do they have any feelings in their hearts. There's no fun in killing them," said Arthur. 

"Fun?" Yuki asked in a confused voice. 

"Yes Yuki, I kill for fun. I don't kill because it is necessary. That would be too boring. I only kill  humans because they have life to them. They fear death and struggle to stay alive. I enjoy seeing them suffer, sometimes I laugh while they cry like a helpless insect. That's the fun of killing," said Arthur as he saw nothing wrong with what he said.
