My King System

Chapter 122 - Demon

Now that Yuki had his palm on the robber's head, Yuki dragged him across the floor as he continuously slammed his head on the ground. With every second that passed, Yuki grew in anger as he tried to imagine what would've happened to the toddler. In doing this, Yuki had grown so angry that he let his flames lose control and burn through the mask that the robber was wearing and reach into the robber's skin. He had caused deep burns on his face, so much so that the robber began to cry, however Yuki still looked at him with an evil glare. Only once the robber in the middle shot Yuki in the head with a pistol did Yuki snapback.

The bullet which was fired at him obviously didn't do much damage as Yuki was at too high of a level to be harmed by regular human weapons. The bullet just hit Yuki's head and bounced off like a rubber ball. This had caused the one who shot Yuki to be confused. 

"Did I miss my shot? Ya, that's probably it," the robber tried to reassure himself. 

Telling himself that he had missed his shot, the robber shot Yuki 5 more times, in turn finishing his round of bullets. To his surprise however, Yuki was still standing with no damage caused to him. Once the robber had finished his shots, Yuki looked back at him with his glowing red eyes as his presence crawled up the robber's skin-giving him goosebumps. 

Before going to attack the remaining 2 robbers, Yuki had to finish what he started with the first one. Yuki held the robber which he had in his palm in the air and slammed him into the wall, in turn creating a hole in it which Yuki later realized he probably shouldn't have done. However, the damage had been done so Yuki decided to move on to the next step. 

After letting go of the first robber he had dealt with, Yuki slowly walked past the robber in the middle which was now shivering in fear and handed Marcell with daughter. Even though his leg was bleeding, Marcell looked like the happiest person alive when Yuki gave him his daughter. 

"Now, let go of the woman you're holding," said Yuki as he pointed at the robber who had his gun pointed at Elpis. 

"Or what? Take one more step and I'll blow his woman's head off!" the robber replied. 

"It seems that you don't understand the situation you are in. I apologize for that. I'll make things a lot more clear now," said Yuki as he allowed himself to relax. 

"One, could you take over and use your presence instead since it's more potent," said Yuki to himself as he closed his eyes while trying to communicate with One. 

"With pleasure," One spoke out of Yuki's mouth. 

With a blink of an eye, One allowed his own presence to flow throughout the house. However, he had let too loose which made his presence leak out of the house and also enter into the houses of many others. Those who slept experienced their worst nightmares and as for those who were awake, it became hard for them to even breathe. One's presence even affected Marcell, Elpis and their daughter. However, One had also affected his main target. Once he had done that, he switched back to Yuki. 

Seeing the robber in shock, Yuki slowly walked up to him. There was no point in Yuki rushing into this as his opponent was basically paralyzed. Yuki slowly moved the gun away from Elpis' head and helped her stand on his feet before helping her to the side lines with Marcell and their daughter. After accomplishing this, Yuki walked back to the robber which was now sitting down on the ground as he tried to run away from the monster in front of him. 

"Please don't kill me, I'll do anything," the robber pleaded. 

"Why should I let you live while you didn't plan on letting these people live? What makes your life any more important than theirs. To make it worse, you planned on killing a small kid which hadn't even gotten the chance to grow up and experience the world. You've committed too many sins for your own good," replied Yuki. 

"I promise it won't happen again. I'll change my ways and become a better man. Just give me one more chance," the robber continued to plead. 

"Why should I trust someone who was willing to harm my family? I have every reason in the world to put an end to your pathetic lives," said Yuki as his eyes continued to burn.

"Activate ability: Fire Control"

"Heaven's Gun"

Right as Yuki formed a gun-like shape with his fingers to blow apart the robber's brain, he remembered that there were consequences for everyone's actions. 

"What was I thinking? The last time I killed even a few people, I was brought into war. I'm trying to hide my identity for a while. I should've let them rob the place. Now that I've done all of this, the world will surely spread about my powers in this country as well. If they were to learn about my actions in the previous country, they would surely exile me," Yuki thought to himself. 

Thinking that there was still hope to save himself from a life of running away, Yuki pulled his hand away from the robber. While he was close to just killing him, Yuki stopped himself from doing something he'd surely regret in the future. Even if Marcell and Elpis were okay with his actions which they most likely wouldn't have been, their daughter would still be scared due to her seeing someone killed in front of her eyes at such a young age. 

"Okay, I'll let you escape with your lives. However, if I ever hear that you're continuing your criminal activities, I'll personally hunt you down and kill you," Yuki warned them.

Not allowing Yuki to change his mind, the 3 robbers ran back down the stairs and left the house without a trace. To them, Yuki was the same as a monster-no, he was worse than a monster. Yuki was a demon.
