Desire

00067 Cliff

Azin slammed his head to the ground. Asella screams and moans. Then she blushed. Azin smiled in a cheerful manner as if he were listening to pleasant music. The anvil gasps and grabs its shattered shoulder as it breathes its short breath. She shudders and looks at the azine that sets her foot on her head.

“Why, why...? ”

“Why?”

Asking the anvil asked again. The anvil groans as it swallows a gulp.

“Why are you doing this...”

“That's not a great question. Because I want to, okay? ”

Azin smiled and replied. Vengeance and all sorts of things, that's how it ends. Azin wanted to kill them. I was going to kill Asella, kill Luke, kill Anvil... and to be precise, I was going to kill everyone who came into these woods. The price of crossing the forest? Vampire satisfaction? It's all an excuse. They tried to kill him. Azin didn't deny himself that he lured them here, but they came here to kill him in the first place.

“You heard him try to kill me. There's no reason for me to die peacefully. ”

Ajin has been distracted. He doesn't feel the sense of justification for his actions. This is P.K., no matter how it is packaged. Either they tried first, or they tried first. It doesn't change. No matter how you wrap it up and make excuses, it won't make sense from the point of view of being killed.

Unnecessary reasoning. Consent to do this is not important. Killing is pain, that's all. Reasoning for yourself? I don't need that either. I want to kill you. Kill me. With that simple desire, he was able to convince himself and not feel guilty.

‘But be careful. ’

The opponent is a player, not an NPC. NPC ends with one death, but not the player. Even if the Avatar of the World dies, the player of reality lives. The corpse is said to be speechless, but it is not available to the player. Then, the desire is somewhat repressive. I decided to rape Asella only when revenge burns for the first time, but if you really rape her, it bothers me. Azella may even report it, and whether it is heavy or light, pain will have to pay for his sins.

But killing is different. This was just a fight, and the first thing I heard was to kill him. No, P.K. is not a crime without discriminating well. In fact, First is the first online game to be implemented in virtual reality, and P.K. has never been done in a single game before. Neither did the player rape the player, nor did it happen.

Rape and P.K., however, have different meanings. The mental impact the opposing Pokémon feels will be different, and there is enough room for law enforcement.

‘I don't rape. But...

If the target is meant to be insulted, there are many other ways besides rape. Azin slammed his head to the ground and glanced down at Azella, who was moaning.

The energy drain continues to unfold. for the sake of continuing the "battle situation." The system recognizes the situation as a "battle" if the opponent is being attacked by a monster, player, or external factor. If so, it is not possible to log out. But that doesn't mean there's no escape. Suicide or forced termination. Suicide is a precaution. If Ashela and Anvil show any signs of that, Azin is confident of defeating them immediately.

Force close? It's a little annoying, but I've thought of a way. For revenge one day, Azin tried everything he could. Among them, there were measures to force termination. Forced termination consists of connecting to the system of the capsule rather than the first system, forcing the consciousness connected to the game to bounce. But it's not a complete escape. Since it only severs the consciousness without going through the process, at the time of forced termination, the avatar will remain in the world for some time.

“Son of a bitch! ”

I heard a voice behind my back. Oh, I see you're not dead yet. Azin glances back, smiling heavily. He looks up at Luke, holding the rolling leg, and says in a voice of admiration.

“Fantastic. Top of the class, fourth place, tanker. You hit him pretty hard, but he's still alive. ”

“Shut... up, you crazy...! ”

Luke shouts in a split voice. In that cry, Ajin laughed joyfully. He claps his partner and nods.

“Crazy bastard. He's got a mean mouth, but he's not wrong. ”

His smile stops. Azin reaches out his finger and points to Luke. Phew! The grip on his fingertips blows Luke's left leg off.

“Kuaak!”

Luke rolls around the ground screaming. It's not 100% pain, but his sensors are fairly high. No, it was the same with Anvil and Asella. Virtual reality games require players to move themselves as opposed to previous games. If you reduce your senses, your senses are that dull. That's why most players adjust the sensitivity to suit their individual needs. In the case of azine, the limit of the nociceptor was completely lifted to realize the pain that was no different from the reality, and in Luke's case, it was at least 50%. Asella and Anvil were the same. It's a pain I've endured for more sensual play.

“Ugh...! ”

I only regret it now. Luke groans, but his legs remain untouched. Luke is a tank. He has overwhelming stamina. Earlier in the crash with Azin, he took considerable damage, but with the anvil's restoration magic, it was recovered somewhat. And this attack. In terms of numbers, that would be a lot of damage, but as a tanker, he's still breathing.

“If you're wrong about Agari, you better say you're sorry. It's easy to kneel without one leg, isn't it? Or maybe I'll blow off another leg to make you fall asleep. ”

Azin's face twists and turns toward Luke, who endures the pain. Waving his extended fingers, he turns around and grabs the anvil's face with his hands.

“Oops!”

The sound of anvil screaming stunned Azin's hands. Kuang! Ajin struggles to get his anvil head to the ground.

“Don't do anything stupid, bitch. Who do you think's gonna let you die? ”

I tried to bite my tongue. I don't intend to let that happen. Azin stepped on Asella's head. The groaning of Asella can't be stopped by the cold soil. Azin looks at Asella, struggling with her arms and legs, and recalls the insects of sampling. The reminiscent insect is a cockroach.

“What the hell do you want to do..! ”

Luke shouts as he grabs the severed leg. Health is no longer reduced. This is because the wounded attack never bled out. Rather, their stamina continues to rise. However, just because you are strong doesn't mean your flying leg will stick together again.

“What do you want to do? Let's think about that now. I've got a lot on my mind. Would you like to hear it? ”

Azin takes his foot off Asella's head. Got it! As soon as he stepped away, Asella rushes in. She draws an arrow from a bare arrow in her back and swings it at Ajin. The resistance was fun. A rat in distress bites a cat. How painful it must be for a rat to ask, but such vain resistance pleases the violent side. Azi reaches out and snatches the arrow Azella was holding. Then, I took it down. Kuaak!

“Gaaaah!”

Asella screams. She grips the arrow in her knee and rolls the ground. Azin grabs the anvil's face, reaches out his other hand and grabs Azella's hair.

“Don't yell too loud. When your voice gets louder, I have to be loud enough. ”

Asella's hair is rolled into her hands and Azin is dead. He looks at Luke walking on the ground and says,

“Here's what I thought. I don't need to touch your arms or legs. If you do, I'll cut your legs off and cut your wounds so you don't bleed out. And then throw it out into the Neutral Zone. ”

Azin chuckles.

“That would be so much fun. It'll be fun to see you crawl your arms and try to escape, right? Log out? Give it a try. If you reconnect, nothing will change. Or forcibly terminate? Try it. But nothing's changed. But if you do, I'll cut off both your arms. So you can't crawl around. ”

Imagining that, Ajin smiled joyfully. Losing both legs, moving anvils, Luke, and Asella with their arms. In order to somehow get out of the Neutral Zone and into the realm of monsters, they will make ugly ground runs. Your body will be covered in dirt and your face will get messy. You'll get a nasty stench soaked in sweat. Monsters can resurrect you from the town if you die. You can escape here. With that kind of hope, he'll grow like a bug.

But if you cut off both arms, there's no escape. It won't even be possible to plow. The problem is keeping your strength intact. If we cut off each limb and pour the potion in our noses, won't it last? I felt like I needed an experiment.

“N-no..."

The anvil trembled and said. There is no escape. If you really want to cut off the leg and throw it in the neutral ground... the anvil closes its eyes. Until someone comes to help, they'll have to keep rolling the ground.

I said, "Why... why are you doing this to me? Shi, you killed Sylvester so easily...! ”

Anvil cried and said. Azin laughs at her reaction. He folds his arms and approaches the anvil face.

“Why would I give you a death as comforting as Sylvester's? ”

“Whoa, it's a grudge, right? You died in the Forest of Silence... that's why you're doing this! I-I didn't do anything to you! ”

It collapses. Azin swallows a smile. That's why I left the Anvil here after I killed Sylvester in peace. To completely undermine their trust. We've been partying together. We trust each other. Then destroy it. They have been denying us all the time together.

“Anvil..! ”

Asella shouts in a loud voice. She looks at the anvil with her eyes wide open, unbelievable. Anvils flinching at the gaze, closing their eyes and shouting.

“I-I didn't do anything wrong! I didn't attack you. I didn't hurt you. Now, it's Asella's fault... Luke's fault! Why, why would I...”

“That's true. ”

I accept it instead of ridicule. Azin nods, smiling gladly. He looks at the faces of Asella and Luke. The face of twisted Luke and the face of wet Azella with betrayal. Their expressions were stunning.

“But the rest of them are just so unfair to make you feel better. I say we leave the choice to them. ”

Ajin is shy looking at the face of the imperfect anvil. He raises his head and looks around at Asella and Luke.
