Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Leislet saw it clearly, how the creature's hand dug deep into Acht's chest like a sharp knife and messed up his insides. She could also see the huge amount of blood that exploded out of his body like a flood and tainted the whole place with a horrifying red color.

As for the boy himself, he just kept smiling as blood trickled down his mouth. He felt immense pain from the creature's hand. It was as if someone took his insides and put them in a blender at high speed. Immediately, all feeling in his limbs and his whole body disappeared. His hazy eyes lost all of their strength and started closing up slowly.

'Sigh, what will happen to me now? Am I going to become another lost soul that Livia uses as she wants? What a bad end for a bad person indeed. Hehehe' He chuckled in disdain at his own self.

He didn't feel regret for being a bad person, he just was mocking his own fate for being like that. If he was maybe born in a family surrounded by good parents and had food on his table every day or maybe if he didn't have to steal and get abused every day just so that he could leave and don't end up as a prey for another predator. Maybe if all of that didn't happen, he would've been a good person.

But, there was nothing he could do so he forgot all of that and focused on his own situation.

He gazed at Leislet who was barely moving properly with her broken bones and smiled slightly, enough for her to see it. He didn't complete his end of the deal but it wasn't that big of a problem since there were many other talented individuals in the world. All she had to do was search for them.

Then, his energy completely dissipated and he closed his eyes completely. Acht…had died.

It was so unexpected. What was initially a half-assed search of a hidden hole in an orc village turned into the tragic death of Acht and potentially Leislet too.

Without even knowing it, a tear fell down her face. She didn't cry or scream, she just had one single tear fall down her face. Then, with clenched teeth. She stood up and glared madly at the creature.

She had never thought that she would say this about herself. But she was totally powerless in front of this behemoth. Even if she went crazy and attacked him, she would die a horrible death either way.

As for the creature, he released his hand from Acht's chest, what he pulled out with it was Acht's heart that stopped beating completely.

After taking a long look at it, he threw the heart nonchalantly and then did something totally unexpected.

He made the same gesture with his hand and instead of attacking Acht or anything else, he pierced his own chest.

"..what?" Even Leislet had to question her eyes again.

Why would he have pierced his own chest? The answer soon came to her in the form of a heart.

The creature had pulled out his own heart as if it was nothing worthy of mentioning. The heart that was different from that of a human kept beating loudly.

It had the same runes as the ones on his chest. It was also blue in color like the ocean and had an abnormal amount of energy in it. It was not an exaggeration to say that all of this creature's monster energy came from that heart.

Then, the creature took that heart and placed it inside Acht's chest without flinching or even showing any type of pain.

The heart somehow fit perfectly into Acht's lifeless body.

"What is he doing?" Leislet muttered as she winced in pain at her injuries. It seemed she had underestimated her own injuries since now, she could feel that not only did she break her bones, but she had minor internal bleeding. It was not lethal however, it was heavy enough to make her unable to move.

The moment the creature lost his heart, his aura started depleting at a high speed. He was clearly dying because of this thing he did.

But, he didn't seem to be that panicked as he looked at Acht's corpse and the heart inside of it.

After a few moments, the heart started emitting some faint light. It then rapidly grew bigger and bigger until it was visible from all the corners of the chamber.

*Swish*

A blue energy wave exploded from Acht's body. It was very strong and extremely violent.

The creature also felt the strength and released Acht who didn't fall to the ground but instead kept floating in the air. His body had turned into a blue color and his dead eyes turned blue too.

The creature looked somehow delighted as it watched this scene happen. But, its expression suddenly changed from calm to slightly surprised and then fully shocked. His eyes widened to their maximum looking like two full moons. He was shocked like that probably because of the sudden shift of events.

The energy that was increasing inside Acht's body suddenly stopped increasing and then completely halted. After that, Acht's body started absorbing that energy at a rapid speed.

It was as if he was some kind of black hole that couldn't be filled.

All of that power that could destroy anything in front of it simply vanished in a few seconds.

The creature watched this happen with clear despair in his eyes. But, before he could do anything, he felt his body lose all energy and he fell down to the ground.

It seemed that he was also dying slowly. He tried to crawl to Acht but he couldn't hold on for long and he stopped moving altogether.

He died.

As for Acht, after absorbing the energy, he fell down to the ground again.

Leislet didn't wait and immediately jumped on her feet and ran toward him. She didn't care about the fact that both of her legs were broken, all she wanted was to see how Acht is. Even her mind stopped working from the moment she saw how the creature put his own heart inside the boy.

All of her mind was simply filled with one simple thing.

'I need to see Acht.'
