Dark, crimson blood covered the ground… as dozens of brutally dismembered bodies filled the ground, littered everywhere, declaring that they were the source of the crimson liquid that dyed everything in a diameter of 50 meters at the very least…"You…" a middle-aged man who lost his lower half stared at the source of this destruction as he struggled to stay alive…
"I told you, I told you I will be back and kill every single one of you! You should have acted smartly enough to kill me when you had the chance instead of going through the trouble of driving me away, following your baseless fear that counted me as a cursed child… hahahahahaha..." the creature covered in blood, which was of course not his own, said as he laughed hysterically, lamenting his unfortunate past once again…
"It was true after all, you really are cursed, you will be eradicated sooner or lat-" the half surviving body of the middle aged man gave out before it could continue…
"Of course, after driving me to this with your despicable acts of discrimation that would still be your answer- worthless piece of s.h.i.+t!" the creature replied to what the middle aged man said as the crimson blood trickled down his face, ignoring the fact that the man was already dead and throwing a punch that turned the rest of the body into scattered flesh.
"Are you finally satisfied with your revenge? Do I take it that our agreement is complete as of now…?" another creature covered in black robe emerged from the blood covered creature"s shadow as he asked…
"This… didn"t really feel as great as expected…" the blood covered creature grit his teeth as he said before relaxing his complexion as his b.l.o.o.d.y face looked a bit more clear before nodding, "but yes, the first part of the bargain has been fulfilled, once you do as you have said and suppress my memory of the events I told you about, I will follow you according to our agreement."
"Very well."
`~~`~~`~~`
"It"s this part instead…?"
Returning to my normal view once again after exploring the last distorted memory, I felt a bit disappointed as it wasn"t actually the part that I wanted to watch the most, but it was still a part that explained some important points.
As I viewed this part from a higher point of view in the body of the buff demon that Sprout had before morphing back, I could tell that this memory had skipped the recruitment event directly to the revenge exacting part, which wasn"t all that suspenseful, except for the last part…
The black robed demon that appeared from Sprout"s shadow seemed like he was the one that recruited Sprout, and also the one that was behind the current state of his mind.
I had originally thought this was caused by the occurrences that took place at the base, but it actually turned out that Sprout had indeed suppressed these memories according to his own wish and executed by the mysterious demon, it seemed that Sprout simply wanted to erase the pain that didn"t lessen much even after exacting his revenge…
Throwing his life into being a demonified human missing memories and strange nightmares that haunted him from the past, which were the reason why he reacted strangely back in the base when he found that he returned human, Sprout simply discarded that part of his life as he tried to dedicate his life into something else, something like vying for power in the base he was a.s.signed to… Only to end up under a r.e.t.a.r.ded yet opressing Overseer who turned that into torture as well…
Of course, these were just the highlights I managed to gather from going through the parts that were available in Sprout"s distorted memory, there might be something else in the part of his memories that weren"t played with by the mysterious demon.
"It"s for the better then…"
Adding the last part into the core distorted memory, I believed that what I was doing for Sprout"s wellbeing, after all, he wanted to erase these parts of his memories anyway, which that mysterious demon seemed to be incapable of, so it seemed like an upgrade to edit them and let his life be a bit more brighter.
Having made sure that everything was correct, I finally withdrew my mental energy from Sprout"s mind s.p.a.ce as I let him down as he returned back to his senses…
"What happened just now…?" Sprout asked in confusion as he looked doubtfully at me…
"Nothing, I was just telling you that I will take you to Green Earth Village to stay there till I come back for you when I do need your help," I simply faked a response that would actually be approved by the edited memory of his.
"Oh, you are really going to let me act freely there…?" while the part in his memory confirmed what I said, but Sprout seemed to be still doubtful about me letting him go.
"Like I said, you had satisfied enough of my curiosity to earn that, so I"m not going back on my word," I rea.s.sured Sprout as I really didn"t want to waste any further time, it was already about time we headed out if we wanted to reach the village soon…
"Ok…"
According to the edited parts in Sprout"s memory, Green Earth Village was supposed to be something similar to his birth place, so he would naturally welcome the idea of going there, and while he seemed to be still skeptical to this moment about me sparing him, he didn"t comment further as he knew that I could do whatever I wanted to him without needing any tricks to begin with…
"Alright then, let"s get going!"
Without asking for his consent, I already grabbed Sprout and held him in a similar position to a princess carry as that made it easier for me to travel while holding someone, before das.h.i.+ng in the direction of the Green Earth Village.
"What are you doing! gaaahhhh…"
