Chapter 443 - Saying Goodbyes
Aiden felt deep anger within himself as a dark red aura mixed with darkness started emerging from his body. Horns started to form on his forehead, and slowly he was becoming taller, his muscles increasing in size.
The color of his skin also changed had a tint of red.
Aiden was at least three times as big as before, but he was also twenty times as powerful.
He had activated his Demonic Form. He knew that he didn't have any time to waste. He needed to get to Emma as fast as possible before she was to get killed by Sylas.
Aiden spread his senses, and they were now able to cover the entirety of the mansion. There, he saw Sylas holding Emma by her throat. He had been hiding all this time, and all of this was because of Melinda.
Aiden gritted his teeth as he looked in her direction, his breathing getting heavier and heavier.
One of the main side effects of using this skill was that he couldn't control his emotions any longer. However, he didn't want to control them. Aiden felt anger unlike anything before. He wanted to kill everyone who would get in his path. Anyone who had wronged him in the past.
He glanced at Melinda as he appeared right beside Melinda and pierced her heart in one swift motion, grabbing it and throwing it away like the trash it was.
She looked back at him with tears in her eyes. However, Aiden didn't care. Watching her suffer was good.
He picked up her ragged body and took it with him.
"You're the first one."
Aiden wanted to show it to Sylas.
However, knowing that time was running short, Darius decided against going through the halls. As he simply ran through the walls, using his skill that made it possible to become an Etheral Being, being untargeted by anything surrounding him.
In seconds, he appeared where the main battle was happening.
He saw countless dead bodies, but it didn't affect him in the slightest. He had many more important things to deal with, and it was Sylas who was currently holding a knife to Emma's throat.
"Ah, you're finally here," Sylas said with a smile. "Took you long enough. Who's that on your shoulder?"
Sylas knew very well who it was as he simply dropped her on the ground for everyone to see. The soldiers had completely stopped fighting because of Aiden's overwhelming aura. He suffocated everyone around him simply by standing in the middle of them all.
"You see her. That's going to be you in a few seconds."
"AIDEN, Don't do anything stupid!" Emma shouted as she knew that he was ready for everything if it meant that he would get her back.
"Don't worry. Everything will be over in five minutes."
"Five minutes? You truly became arrogant, my son."
Aiden shook his head. "No. You don't understand. I'm giving you a chance. This won't last more than 30 seconds."
"1..." Aiden started counting out loud as he completely disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared behind Thorin, who was completely unaware and unable to follow Aiden's movements.
"2..." Aiden had stopped using his dagger as his hands armed with claws were more than enough. He tried to pierce Thorin's heart, but he managed to react at the last second.
"Um, not bad."
Aiden took a step forward and stepped onto both of Sylas's legs, breaking them by standing on them.
"Do you know how it feels to be hopeless? Do be alone...? Do you know how it feels to die?" Aiden muttered with a smirk as he bent down with a devilish smile.
"AHHHH!" Sylas could only scream out of pain from having both his legs broken.
Aiden grabbed Sylas's head tightly and squeezed onto it. He didn't want to explode him just yet, though. He had time. He could play with his father a little longer. He had waited so long that it was the only thing he deserved.
Suddenly, Aiden felt a presence behind him, holding onto one of his arms. It was Emma.
"Aiden, stop. You don't need to torture him...this isn't like you."
The previous Aiden just looked into her eyes and said, "You're right. This isn't like me. But it needs to be done."
He pushed her away slowly, making sure not to hurt her as he looked once more into Sylas's eyes.
Blood was trickling away from his body as Aiden felt the gazes of everyone around him, looking at him with wide eyes.
Jake was one of the most surprised people around. However, it was for a completely different reason. He had felt the change in personality. He knew that the Aiden in control wasn't the one he knew. So, he simply walked away and sat in a corner. He knew that whatever happened next was something that Sylas deserved.
He had no reason to interfere in such a revenge.
Emma had tears falling out of her eyes when she heard the coldness of Aiden's voice.
"Please don't go back to the old you. Remember I-I'm still here for you. Y-You don't need to be alone anymore. I'm strong now. Just like you...I-I did my best, you can rely on me..." The tone of her voice got quieter and quieter as time passed. At one point, the only thing that anyone could hear from Emma were tears falling out of her eyes.
She didn't want Aiden to fall back into his old ways, to be all alone, a killing machine; that was the last thing she wished for him.
With his hand still holding tightly onto Sylas's head, Aiden smashed it against the ground, creating an earthquake because of the strength he had put in.
-BOOM!
However, once wasn't enough. Aiden continued to smash his head against the floor again and again until he felt satisfied.
He continued for minutes, and once he couldn't feel the slightest energy from Sylas's corpse, he let it go and simply looked at it without the slightest emotion.
There wasn't a smile. There wasn't a sense of relief.
The previous Aiden felt like what he had come to do was done. He had taken his revenge on the man who had taken everything away from him.
"I guess since you've helped me so much. I should do the same..." The previous Aiden muttered as he let Aiden control his body once again.
However, that wasn't all he did as the chains that had been restricting Aiden ever since he had arrived in this world were no longer, and in front of Aiden a message appeared.
[You are no longer limited by the shackles of the Lumithars.]
[All contracts made with them are now null.]
Aiden smiled as he knew the previous Aiden had sacrificed himself to give Aiden a chance at his freedom.
'Thank you. Now, I can go and kill every last one of them.'
