Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 133: One man standing

What is prophecy? It is a prediction of what will happen in the future, right? But, what, one should note is the word 'prediction'.

Prediction is just a conjecture. It might happen and it might not happen. Though the prophecy holds weight and depth in it.

Prophecy is more like a foreseen event that you are destined to arrive. 

But, forget all these appeals. Now, there is always a thing called present, today, now, this minute. If it is rightly focused the probability and every event and variability changes. If someone were to already perceive their own future what will they do and that is a power which could almost tackle every minute mistake they'll do.

And a man possessing such ability was the one that stood amidst the pile of corpses, Yes it was none other than Nix. To be accurate it was one of his future versions. around him were his every ally. Even Felishia was dead. That showed there was someone equal or more powerful to a demi-god there.

'Is that me?'

Nix muttered as the vision spun and went facing him forward.

His armor was beyond resurrection and severely tattered with several rifts. What's crueler, was that there was a straight horizontal across his face. To be more precise, the straight cut was cleanly inflicted across his eye sockets making him blind. The blood was still dripping out of the sockets as he stood gritting his teeth.

His blood slowly slid down from his hand to the cold jade spear, making it redder. The one standing on the roof was none other than Feroz khan and the head he was holding made Nix's blood boil.

It was just a future vision but, witnessing it boiled Nix's blood. Feroz khan had the most vicious smile Nix had ever seen. Why was he so obsessed with torturing Nix? He didn't need a reason. But Nix's mind was already beginning to process how to torture him. Everyone was dead and everything he owned was long gone.

Just as the prophesied he stood there as a lone man.

However, Nix decided to firstly witness the scene displayed.  Clearly and accurately to note down everything that was happening. His past self would have been blinded by anger. Not that he can do anything since it was just a scene of what's about to happen.

Strangely blind Nix was calm. Even his ears were ripped off and it seems he was solely relying on his other senses and mana.

Witnessing made himself doubt about unwavering his future self was. 

"looks like the hero wouldn't be going down that easily?"

A handsome blond-haired man commented walking into the crowd. The man was void of any emotion. It was none other than the commander of Zerast, Nate Fraser.

Shrikk!

Blind Nix thrusted the spear splitting and piercing the air with tremendous energy as though one he inserted all his life into that single thrust.

It decimated the men around him in an instant except for Fraser whose armor was shattered by the sheer force.

"Hmm,"

Feroz khan smirked and threw the head. Since Nix was blind he severed it into two and noticed that something was amiss.

He clearly understood what and whom he just severed yet, there was no reaction from him. Just an emotionless enduring the pain standing before two monstrous men.

Thanks to latent instinct He was able to manage everything he could. The surprising thing was the chains of resentment were nowhere to be found. Which conveyed he almost died fourteen times there.

Five more men encircled him. They were the five deputy commanders of Zerast and among them was Razik standing with an evil grin.

Nix was rather surprised. Since his future self solely took down almost hundreds of people to top it off, He was blind and numbed of sense yet, he stood there facing them unwaveringly and going on slaughter anything that came to his way.

"It seems he had gained enlightenment..."

Nate muttered glancing at Nix with admiration.

Indeed, they pulled off a cowardly move yet, he tackled them all and stood his feat and died fourteen times and stood there withholding his last life, his very own.

Feroz khan jumped down and moved towards Nix with a smirk and gave him an intent stare.

{Now that you don't have anyone to care for. Come at me.}

'Telepathy?'

Nix muttered looking at the scene in a daze.

In a split moment, blind Nix began to flash in a golden yellow color like a sunray. Everything around him levitated. It was as though he was controlling gravity. His speed reached the peak as he even avoided the stab from Feroz khan's dagger. Like a light, he traveled but slowly his body's energy emanated and disintegrated. Suddenly his spear expelled a thunder out of it while his other hand emitted fire. It was as though he was able to use every attribute.

Both Feroz khan's and Fraser's pupils dilated and heartbeat wilder as he killed everyone around them in a split-second traveling at light speed and teleporting from time to time behind everyone that was around there.

He literally shattered the leveling scale. But the question was what did it cost to borrow such power?  Slowly but surely he was using his Vital force and soul to demolish everyone around him It was a suicidal move.

"Is he a demigod? Those gods!!"

Feroz khan squealed as his speedy thrust cuts tore his flesh and limbs even though he was simultaneously growing it back. At one point he couldn't even heal. He thrusted his spear at a speed of one hundred per second while simultaneously exchanging moves with Fraser.

If they both went on a showdown alone they would have died. Over time his movements slowed down. His flesh began to disintegrate as he fell to the ground like dust.

"Hah, Hah...We shouldn't have done this..." 

Fraser uttered lying limp on the ground without his limbs. It was the same for Feroz khan even his healing didn't work.

"He inflicted attacks to the depth of our mana cores and souls... He was truly a monster."

Feroz khan said with a smile and looked at the sky.

"I don't want to face him in the under..."

Fraser muttered. And that was it he died.

'This how I will die?'

Nix uttered looking at the scene. 

He'd have never imagined that the fight would be this cruel and ruthless. Rather did he think it was possible for him to fight that skillfully?

Swiftly the vision split into multiple scenes showing accurate scenes of where and how his town and his clan will be attacked. It seems that even the Draconians came to the rescue and failed. It was multiple probabilities where he'd fail. There were many probabilities that showed him trying to minimize the killing of innocent civilians. 

He memorized every single scene that was about to happen. Though it was hard, he ought to do it.

There were even visions where he took the offensive role. Even without Feroz khan, Nix was not able to handle Zerast.

Soon the blinding light flashed once again and he found himself back in the laboratory. He was not fatigued like his last time. This time he found himself at the same time he was left off and found Vikil looking at him with excitement.

"What happened Mr.Nix? Did it not work?"

"It did."

He nodded and looked at the shattered orb.

"Mr.Vikil, I have a request for you..."

"Yes?"

"Can you make mass-produce weapons and the same bomb you made back then? But this time I need you to make it with more immense explosive ability."

"But, how much quality are you talking about?"

"One Hundred, a one hundred neon explosives... Can you do it?"

"But... It will decimate an entire city." 

"This is just to protect our town," Nix said.

But there was completely a different scheming in his mind.

He immediately left the laboratory and announced a meeting schedule. Upon giving instructions he left his clan house and directly went to United Outsiders clan house.

Without going formally he stealthily entered her bedroom and didn't even hesitate to kill those who noticed him. If there was one thing he understood. It was that there were many moles in every clan possible and many more sleeper cells in Theemai.

So, in order to move in secret, he didn't hesitate to kill even the innocents.

Well, this was obvious considering the recent occurrences more over huge clans needed information. Nix already knew the fact that he was getting famous enough to get attention from other clans.

And He did know that he would be attacked anytime soon after his clan establishment. Since there was a talk about the war he left the thought that they'd be busy. 

He moved into her bedroom and immediately closed her mouth and locked her hands from the back as she was about to scream and attack him.

"Shh! Let's talk privately."

He silenced her and backed away.

"Yes? Why did you sneak in?"

She asked casually.
