The Extra's Indifference

I couldn't feel my body because of the pain I was experiencing.

That is why I brought my hand to my face and touched under my nose after hearing Aria's words about my bleeding nose.

Then I lifted my hand to my eyes and saw my bloodied fingers. There was too much blood on my finger that it can be considered normal nose bleeding.

I assumed that my brain got damaged because of the constant alerts of my intuition.

I didn't know if I could die because of this but I decided to stop my indifferent actions toward the danger and go back for the day.

"Grab my arm. Lead me to a safe place." My monotonous voice rang, making Amelia and the guard tremble again.

Aria probably understood the seriousness of the situation and held my arm, and began to lead me away.

'Should I put the knife in my heart or slit my throat?' I thought seriously.

I was barely enduring the boredom for years but enduring a pain of this degree made me think about my plans. It was more painful than my mana-poisoning sessions which lasted for hours.

Since every living being will die, there was no real need for me to continue living either. So there wasn't any need for me to endure this pain and boredom to live a bit longer than normal and die like every living being.

However, I decided to put this thought aside for the time being. If the pain continued like this, I could think more about it. But it isn't time for it, yet. I could endure a bit longer to decide this.

But the sneaky one, who was following me around and causing these shitty alerts, decided to show themselves.

While Aria was leading me, I received a kick from my side, throwing me away.

My head was a mess and my body wasn't in the best condition, which is why I couldn't protect myself.

I crashed into a wall and fell onto my butt.

There I saw a dark, ominous-looking door on my side.

It was a teleportation gate and I didn't know where it was going, but it was pretty obvious that it wasn't a good place to teleport.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any right to refuse to go there as the sneaky assassin was able to evade Aria's attacks with ease and rushed to me with an inhuman speed.

The assassin was wearing a classic assassin costume, which was a hooded black robe that covers their whole body and a mask that covers their face. Though I knew where this assassin came from as their mask was skull shaped, hence I deduced that this person was an alive and well worshipper of the Devil of Death and Souls.

It was too strange that the Devil of Death and Souls was targeting me just because I pretend to be their messenger and worshipper.

I didn't remember anything about this particular Devil but I was sure that Divine beings weren't petty like this.

Targeting my 'lover', 'target of faith', and now me, who was going out my way to find a cure for my 'beloved Goddess'.

Although it was possible that a devil might try to kill a god or their saint, I couldn't shake the feeling that this particular devil was targeting me specifically, perhaps out of personal vendetta or obsession.

Though I didn't have any strength and any will to lift my hand to protect my worthless life from the assassin while experiencing numbing pain in my head.

That is why, I just watched the assassin who kicked me again instead of stabbing my vital points and threw me to the side, exactly in front of the ominous-looking door.

And I understood the reason for this action as I felt that the kick from the assassin was rather weak for them to injure my skin with a mundane steel dagger, because of my transformed skin via the [Mana Body] technique.

I got up from the floor with staggering steps and took my stance.

I wasn't sure if I could fight against this assassin with a weak, unstable body but I decided to give it a shot and defend myself.

I could have used magic but it was impossible to use chantless magic with an unstable mind and I didn't learn to use one-word chant magic yet. So I was sure that while I was changing this shadow-like assassin could escape from my magical attacks.

That is why, I transformed my [Silent Scream], which was in ring form to a whip, and swung at the assassin.

The black, paper-like whip made a loud sound in the corridor full of teleportation gates but it missed the assassin, as they slide onto the floor and got up in front of me.

I sent mana into my legs to exchange my standing but I was too slow and flew out to the ominous-looking black door because of the kick I received from the Devil worshipper.

While I was in the air, I saw the gazes of the people.

The cannon fodder guard, he was shocked but I didn't even try to read more of his feelings, as he was just a mob that I could kill without a 2nd thought.

Anyway, Aria's eyes were filled with shock, worry, and anger while her mouth opened in an 'O' shape.

Amelia was like an open book, I could discern all of her feelings with just her expression. Regret, confusion, sadness, and fear. Lots of fear. She was scared shitles after seeing my situation and hearing my voice.

Well, I didn't care about Amelia and her fear of me.

I just thought that it would be good if this pain disappears from my head and don't find myself in a hell-like place after entering this pitch-black door.

My head was about to collide with the wood of the door but before my crash, I heard a masculine laugh from the sneaky little bitch.

"Try to enjoy your stay in there as it is a gift given by almighty Aros himself."
