Alex curled the finger and flicked his finger at Khim.
All the weapons in his arsenal dashed forward.
Many of them missed the target while others were taken out by Khim arrows.
Instead of running away like a headless chicken, if Khim used his brain to fight and defend Alex using the bows, he might have had a chance but being overcome by fear, his brain had already started to malfunction.
He was just an ant who rose in ranks due to the power of darkness and people like him operate with the principle of weak against strong and strong against weak.
There hadn't been any situation where they had to fight to put their life on the line.
Finally, he failed to dodge the barrage of weapons and some of them drilled holes in his body.
These arrows struck his back, a spear went past his thigh while two swords pierced both of his arms.
"Arghh!"
Khim groaned, being struck by them. Unable to run with a body riddled with weapons, he tripped over and fell on the ground bleeding profusely from his wounds.
"What the heck is this? It hurts so much. It feels as if I am being roasted." Khim screamed and tried to pull the weapon with his hand but it burnt on touching them.
Swish!Swish!
Two spears appeared out of nowhere and pierced through his palms, pinning him down on the ground.
A muffled scream escaped from his lips. The pain terrified him greatly as it was too much for him to bear.
Standing on the door of death, tears forced out from his eyes.
At that time, he felt a gentle hand caressing his head softly.
Khim subconsciously raised his chin and his eyes met with the lifeless hollow eyes of the person who had an apathetic expression on his face.
There is no trace of anger, hatred, happiness or any emotion that one could find while getting killed by a man.
It was as if he was worse than an insect and his life or death didn't matter to this guy.
"I...I don't want to die. Don't kill me, maybe I can be of any help." Khim sobbed.
His dignified expression had already been crushed and shattered.
Alex just moved his hand and spoke with an indifferent expression"How many people might have pleaded before you? How many people might have begged you to spare them and cried tears of blood? Have you ever listened to their pleas?"
"The biggest help you can give me is dying and repenting in hell. Before that let's see just how many dirty secrets are there in your brain."
Alex clutched Khim's head and started the soul search.
Khim felt his mind tearing up and blowing up into pieces
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
His scream fell into a deaf ear while Alex looked for useful information. Alex felt a veil of darkness covering memories but Alex didn't stop and pierced through the veil and as he finally grasped the memories, Alex's soul was suddenly struck.
A sudden headache assaulted him as if trying to split his head into two parts.
Alex let go of his hands and took a few steps back. He leaned against a tree while breathing heavily trying to stabilise himself.
Alex even found it difficult to open his eyelids.
Cold sweat formed on his forehead and he sat down leaning against the tree.
"Soul Attack!" Alex murmured with rough breathing.
As he went through the memories deeper, the darkness inside the soul suddenly formed a needle which attacked Alex's soul after catching him off guard.
It was not normal and anyone below the Mythic realm would be killed directly and those above it would be brutally injured.
Even five per cent of soul damage can take a few weeks to heal. If Alex's soul wasn't strong enough, he might either be lying in the coffin or the bed for a few months to years.
"That God Of Darkness isn't a simple being," Alex muttered, clutching his forehead.
He was suffering from a heavy headache and no healing spell would work on it.
Alex didn't even think that the God Of Darkness would have such preventive measures. Since the darkness corrupting the soul was an essence that came from him, it had a safety mechanism that would trigger if one soul was invaded by another one.
Alex struggled to get back on his feet, and immediately finished Khim.
The amount of information Alex got might be small but it was quite crucial.
First thing was that all the people or creatures living in the pocket dimension weren't the true creatures of darkness rather these were all breeding experiments.
When they came from another world, their number was quite less. So, first, they tried to increase their forces.
The first method was to give false hopes to people and coax them to their side after which they would corrupt their souls making them pledge eternal loyalty.
Later, they found that this was not feasible in the long run as they could not accumulate many people and most of them were hopeless and didn't have good potential, proving quite useless.
So, they opted for the second method and experimented with humans and creatures of their race to produce these ugly pieces of shit.
The real creatures might be ugly but not to this extent and Alex was surprised to know that they could use all elemental properties except light elements.
Alex's back was already starting to get cold after knowing this and he had a hunch that the true purpose of these breeding grounds was to produce a being that might have resistance to light elements.
"This is too much." Alex massaged his forehead.
Killing these many creatures was already considered an achievement, only to know later that these are all fakes.
He didn't know whether there was any creature of dark in this dimension as he was struck before he could reach the end but he already had a rough understanding of this place.
There was a temple hidden in the middle.
Khim and his group's task was to look over these creatures and take care of small erect runic barriers that maintain the dimension and then look for humans, beasts or anything that they could sacrifice and report if anything odd that might happen.
