Chapter 95

The roughly swaying hair was definitely not a mistake. In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered even if it was a mistake.

Unfortunately, that woman was so cruel that even after disappearing, she didn’t appear even in his dreams.

Strength naturally entered Hades’ hands. Anger?

No.

It was ecstasy.

“…Hahaha. So you were in the Tower after all?”

“…”

“That’s right. Of course, yes.”

How could you escape this hellish pit?

No prisoner can break out of Niflheim.

The absolute principle that existed since this prison was built has never been broken even once.

If it were to be broken, he had thought it would surely be accomplished by this woman’s hands.

“Why, was it difficult to break out of prison?”

It seemed that time had not yet come.

“Or haven’t you found the method yet?”

How wonderful it would be if he could show her how desperately he had searched for Mint.

“What if you run away so I can’t see you either. That would be disappointing.”

If she wished it, he would gladly split open his chest to show her his beating heart.

Ecstasy tinged his gentle tone.

“See, I told you to accept my help.”

The moment his blood-red lips stretched wide on both sides for a smile, something light grazed his cheek.

Oh my.

Hades’ figure instantly disappeared and appeared one step back.

Drip.

Blood flowed from his pale cheek.

“Haha, ha…”

However, even after receiving Mint’s attack, Hades laughed like a half-mad person.

“…It’s real.”

That’s not an illusion or fake, it’s real.

Perhaps until the very end, this might be Mint’s trap.

He had kept the thought in a corner of his mind that she might just be creating a plausible illusion to toy with him.

Well, considering Mint’s track record, it was only natural.

“What should we do, miss?”

Hades wiped the blood from his cheek with his gloved hand. He then took off the glove and wiped away all the blood.

“Haah…”

And he inhaled the scent of blood, savoring it.

“I’m excited.”

When she opened her eyes again with a languid sigh, Mint had a disgusted expression on her face.

“Perverted bastard.”

He smiled elegantly. One hand on his chest, one foot behind the other.

It was a perfect gentleman’s greeting.

“It’s been a while. My lady.”

“….”

Hades’ dark red eyes gleamed with a flickering light.

“…I missed you.”

At the same time, Hades’ figure smoothly disappeared and appeared in front of Mint.

Hades reached out his hand.

“Don’t touch me, you bastard.”

Tsk. The moment Mint clicked her tongue, something flew toward her.

Clatter clank!

It was the familiar red chain.

This attack, where you couldn’t tell what was illusion and what was real, was one of Hades’ specialties.

The ground beneath Mint’s feet became soft and then collapsed.

So she could no longer escape.

Let’s confine her.

An attack filled with desperate yet sinister will and desire.

Mint, as if already accustomed to it, merely glanced at the red chains wrapped around her hands and ankles.

Crack.

Clang!

The Kia that rose from her cut through the chains.

“….”

Red mist surrounded her on all sides.

‘Where did he go.’

This was how that bastard fought by manifesting Mental Realm Kia.

Like a vampire from a fairy tale, melting into the smoke.

The ground beneath her feet collapsed once again.

This shook Mint’s balance. Taking advantage of that gap, a pitch-black hand reached out.

Groooooan!

― Save… me….

― It… hurts….

― Aaaaah!

It wasn’t just one hand. Countless hands, each gripping a chain, screamed with gloomy cries.

“Even for me, I’m afraid to directly touch such a fierce lady.”

“….”

A voice came through the mist.

Countless chains wrapped around her arms, her hands, her ankles, her waist, her neck.

It had been a long time since they had coiled around her.

The terrifying aspect of Hades’ ability was that the moment you were fooled into thinking the attack was real, it truly became real.

This was an attack that even high-rank prisoners fell victim to helplessly.

Sometimes like this, even Mint too.

“How long I’ve waited for this moment.”

Since being caught meant being unable to move at all, she usually responded by never allowing her body to be exposed.

Slowly, Hades’ figure appeared from within the mist.

“You’d be surprised if you knew how far I searched to find you, miss.”

Mint raised her head. Clatter. The moment he saw Mint bound in chains, Hades felt irrepressible joy.

“Where did you go?”

Actually, it didn’t matter. He had seen her again, caught her. He wouldn’t let her go.

That was all that mattered.

How wonderful it would be if time stopped like this.

“…After searching so much.”

At the expressionless man’s face, Mint casually tilted her head while wearing chains around her neck.

Her lips parted.

“Why should I care?”

Clank clank.

Hades raised his eyebrows while tightening the chains even more strongly.

Something felt off.

Could he usually catch Mint this easily?

That’s when it happened.

The mint light gathered in Mint’s hand drew the shape of something.

Click.

As soon as an elegant straight-lined pistol appeared in Mint’s hand.

Bang!

She shot her own wrist without hesitation.

As soon as her hand was free, she grabbed the chain and struck lightning down onto the connected black hands.

Crackle!

The chain acted like a lightning rod, delivering damage to all the hands.

— Ah… it hurts!

— Aaaaah!

The power of lightning drawn from her Unique Kia was tremendous. The hands screamed and released the chains.

At the same time, the gun that had fulfilled its role appeared in front of Hades’ face.

‘Reassembly.’

What appeared in completed form was a rifle. It pulled its own trigger.

Bang!

The muzzle spewed smoke. Mint swept back her hair while holding the gun that had returned to her hand.

Patter.

What had been chains but were now ash scattered across the ground.

Mint was no longer in the spot where she had been captured.

“Kugh!”

“Just die.”

Hades feels intense pain in his chest. In the blink of an eye, he was lying on the ground looking up.

It wasn’t by his own will.

Following the foot placed on his chest, he found Mint at the end.

“…I hate this prison cell because of bastards like you.”

Hades grinned wickedly.

As expected.

I knew you’d come closer if I showed you an opening like this, miss. Hades swallowed words that wouldn’t reach Mint’s ears.

“That’s a lie. Miss.”

His hand leisurely moved up onto Mint’s shoe.

The red mist flowing around them grew stronger.

Hades’s bare hand slipped under her pant leg and grasped her slender ankle in one hand.

“You hate this prison cell even without me.”

With such fragility, how did she obtain such strength? That’s exactly why he wanted to possess it.

Something that exists only once in the world. Something unique. The absolute being he couldn’t help but obsess over.

But something he could hold in his hands.

“…”

Mint’s favorite weapon, her rifle, was aimed directly at Hades.

“What to do. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to feel such things.”

The corner of Mint’s mouth turned up.

It was a chilling smile that was anything but pleasant.

At any moment, the gun pointed right at him would spit fire.

“But I’ve felt for a long time that my life would improve if I got rid of you. You leech-like bastard.”

Even Hades would have no countermeasure if hit by this gun at close range.

He might die.

Even so, Hades grinned wickedly.

“Haha, miss. How could I not know you? How could I not know you.”

His elongated eyes were beautiful like a demon that had crawled up from the depths of hell solely for human corruption.

Bang!

A bullet pierced through his shoulder.

Despite Mint’s warning shot, he stubbornly pulled at Mint’s foot and stared at her persistently.

His mouth smiled, revealing his fangs.

I’ll never let you go again.

“You and I, we’re similar.”

“…”

“We’re not beasts who can’t feel anger.”

“…”

“Rather, we feel anger and hatred too well, that’s the problem. Is this all?”

“Your tongue is uselessly long.”

Even though Mint’s foot pressed down on his chest so hard he couldn’t breathe, Hades let out a groan and grinned wickedly.

“Ahaha, cough! We’re both obsessive, we’ll achieve our goals no matter what. You and me! No matter how many die, no matter how many others are sacrificed.”

Hades had felt it when he first saw her.

That one is the same kind as me.

“As long as we achieve our goals, nothing else matters, right?”

Born lacking emotions from birth. Someone like himself who couldn’t empathize with others’ joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Those who understand emotions but only learn them intellectually. Those accustomed to using others.

Mint said nothing at all.

Hades deliberately touched her sore spot. Very lightly, like a child playing a prank.

“The reason you’re angry, the reason you’re determined to leave this place, to leave me, is because of Marla’s death.”

“….”

Hades smiled sweetly.

“Marla wasn’t someone who would die such a pointless dog’s death, cough!”

Bang!

Mint’s gun spat fire once more.
