“I can’t understand what you’re saying, calling it a beast or whatever.”
Kirie sighed and put his hand on top of the cat’s head while sticking out his tongue. Then, using forbidden magic and divine knowledge, he delved into the cat’s mind, flipping through its memories.
“M, mew.”
Whether the cat’s spirit left or not during this process wasn’t Kirie’s concern.
“Look at this. Drooling all over. It must have been harder to endure as a kitten.”
Rather than sympathizing with the trembling cat, as if it had been electrocuted, Kirie, annoyed, kicked it with his foot.
Tears flowed from the dying cat’s eyes, and it soon died with its eyes open.
“Still, it served its purpose. They have entered this place.”
Kirie was in a state of readiness to escape. He had been preparing to sneak out with minimal magical tools, including precious metals and provisions, when unwelcome guests barged in unexpectedly.
“Faster than I expected. The barrier crumbled so easily.”
Even with the alchemy that infused the souls of the clan into it, the damned kitten duke effortlessly dismantled it, claiming to have received the blessing of a god.
“If captured, at least it’s a death sentence. The worst-case scenario is incineration.”
He could never be captured.
Kirie disliked pain. And he had yet to witness the destruction of this world with his own eyes.
Having sacrificed everyone in the clan, whom he loved, as nourishment for magic, failure was not an option.
“I have an obligation to dedicate everything to my late brother who returned to this world.”
To save his brother who would have fallen into hell, he believed that annihilating the entire world was the only answer.
It was insane and illogical thinking, but Kirie sincerely believed it.
He maliciously laughed while pressing every switch he had set to activate when intruders appeared in the secret passage.
“Die… die, kitten duke. And you, unfortunate Second Prince. You both have to die for people outside to give up and fight among themselves. Right now, it’s too orderly. I don’t like it. This world needs more significant chaos.”
Kirie had seen it before, during the ‘previous incident’ when he almost brought the world to an end.
Back then, the desperation to survive manifested as grotesque actions, not humans joining forces against zombies. It was more like the survivors ruthlessly slaughtering each other and stealing their belongings.
The ugliness born out of the desperation to live. Watching that, Kirie ridiculed humanity and got entangled in the arrogance that this world needed to perish even more.
Stuffing his possessions into the pocket dimension, Kirie laughed like a madman, muttering to himself.
“I am doing the right thing…”
This is the only way to complete my revenge.
The souls of the family need this to be redeemed.
Anxiously muttering to himself, a status window appeared in front of him.
〔¿Unknown_virus?_Code Access〕
〔Two unauthorized life forms are approaching you.〕
〔Until they arrive…〕
〔10 seconds〕
“What?”
How did those numerous obstacles pass through and reach here?
Startled, Kirie tried to jump out immediately, but time did not wait for him.
〔I’m sorry. There was an error.〕
〔3 seconds ahead〕
〔2 seconds〕
〔1 second…〕
Kwaaaang.
One side of the secret underground laboratory wall where Kirie was staying collapsed.
“Cough, cough!”
“…Did it come properly?”
In the swirling dust, the ethereal figures of the two people and a small rat became visible.
‘Oh, damn!’
Kirie urgently urged his status window.
“Status window! Help me get out of here right now!”
〔Understood.〕
〔Warp creation in 5 seconds〕
‘Damn!’
When he had led numerous zombies, there were enough sacrifices, but now, having lost all of them due to the bombing, it seemed like time was given to wait.
Kirie, tapping his foot impatiently, waited for the warp to be created, and a silver-haired woman emerged from the dusty wind and grabbed him.
“I got you, traitor.”
“……!”
“Where do you think you’re going? Kirie Warei, no, the traitor Kirie.”
Violet eyes flashed with deep anger.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
