Chapter 514 513: When A Man Cried.
[Congratulations on defeating Demon King Abaddon, the Abyss!]
[All the Constellations are overjoyed with your achievement and will grant you a single wish for every Awakener that participated in defeating Demon King Abaddon!]
[All the Constellations are looking at you with curiosity. They are waiting for the wish that you want as your reward!]
[You can ask for a skill that you want as long as the Constellations can grant it. The skill that you wished for is a [Benefactor Exclusive] skill]
"Is all none Deadly Sin holder Demon Kings weak?" Sven asked Aurea as he looked at the notification.
"That's not really the case here. It's just your skills are Demon King Abaddon's weaknesses. It's like trying to light a flame on water. You're too powerful for him to handle, and that's the case here," Aurea answered and looked at the blue portal.
Sven's skills and powers that exceeded everyone else's made it easy for him. He also had an aura blade skill and an armor penetration skill that made Abaddon's tough armor and skin useless. If he wasn't there, it would be hard and wouldn't take an hour to kill Demon King Abaddon.
"Is that so? I guess I took skills that really fit me well," Sven scoffed and showed his smug face.
"Oh really? Do you want to test it out against me?" Lillith asked as she suddenly appeared right behind Sven.
Sven felt a chill all the way down his spine, and then he jumped away as he rubbed his nape. Her breath felt like death when it touched his nape, the pain and the experience that he had back then immediately came back to the surface.
"I-I'm just joking..." Sven said as he chuckled nervously and kept rubbing his nape until it turned red.
Lillith smirked and walked away and showed him who the boss was.
"Dude, should we get something that prevents her from taking our minds?" Vincze whispered into Sven's ear. "You know? It's better late than never," Vincze continued.
Rozan who heard it decided to join in and agreed to Vincze's words since they were too scared to be Lillith's toy. Gunnar and Gerrard were confused as to why they were so scared of Lillith. In the first place, Gunnar and Gerrard were the only ones that could speak with her so casually without getting a disgusted or annoyed look from her. She also didn't mind making skin contact with those two.
"Alright, let's go. We can rest for a day and we don't want to waste our time here any longer. The people might be waiting for us outside the tower," Jeanne said as she walked to the blue portal.
All of them entered the portal and were welcomed by the people with huge smiles and tears. They were touched by the people's tears since they had been suffering for a very long time. Thousands of people died, and they were all a part of someone's family.
"Man, that was really a tear-jerker..." Rozan wiped his eyes as he lifted his glasses.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement except Aurea and Lillith who didn't really care much about affection. Lillith then glanced at Sven who seemed to be holding his tears.
"I didn't you're that heartless. Or is it because yo-" Lillith said, but before she could finish her sentence, Sven hurriedly left. She squinted her eyes and tried to hear his thoughts, but she couldn't do it any more thanks to his new skill [Mind Protection].
Everyone looked at Sven running away, and they were wondering why he suddenly acted like that. Lillith who knew decided to follow him since she might know where he was going.
Lillith came out of the taxi and looked at the giant cemetery in District 2. She could see Sven walking into the cemetery, and she decided to follow him from behind. She wasn't trying to be stealthy, and Sven was surprised when he saw her following him.
"Don't mind me, I'm just going to watch you cry," Lillith said with a cold expression.
"Did my new skill didn't work?" Sven asked and he looked a bit disappointed and shocked at the same time since she knew where he was going.
"Even without my skill, I can tell where you're going since I know everything about you already," Lillith answered as she kept following him from behind.
"I know the reason why you loathe me, so I guess there's no need for me to hide it from you," Sven said as he kept walking deep into the cemetery. "Was that enough? When you killed me back then for what I did?" Sven asked without looking back.
"No. Even if I'm allowed to kill you hundreds of times, I don't think I'll ever forgive you," Lillith answered without hesitation.
Sven didn't react and kept walking until he suddenly stopped in front of one of the gravestones. He looked at it for quite a while and slowly got on his knees with his head down.
"I shouldn't have brought you in there... I'm sorry," Sven said and started to cry.
Lillith was leaning against a gravestone and sat on it. She listened to Sven's cries with her eyes closed. She felt happy to see him like that because that was something she had been waiting for all this time.
The reason why Lillith loathed Sven was that he brought a woman into the Abaddon Tower. A woman who wasn't an Awakener because of his stupid pride and wanted to show off to that woman.
It was late at night and the guards weren't bothered checking on the people who entered the tower. He wanted to impress the woman he liked, in fact, he didn't plan on making her his girlfriend, he just wanted to get laid. She was just a nobody that he met that day.
Sven entered the first floor of the Abaddon Tower and fought kobolds as he always did. He was caught off guard and hurt himself, and the woman was terrified because it was the first time for her to see a demon from up close. The woman started to panic and attracted the kobold because of her fear.
Sven was startled when he heard her scream, and when he turned around, he saw the woman had been eaten alive. From his legs, arms, hips, waist, chest, neck, and face. He was terrified by the scenery, but since the remaining kobolds were busy eating the woman, he decided to use that opportunity to kill them all.
Even in the memories from Sven's head, Lillith couldn't see it clearly because his eyes were glimmering in tears and covered in blood. He was too focused on killing the kobolds with everything he got. She remembered the remaining skin, flesh, and face of the woman glaring at him until she died tragically.
"Hey, do you want to remember it again? The face of the woman that you took into the tower? The remaining of her body and face?" Lillith grabbed Sven's shoulder from behind and gripped it so tightly. "How can a bastard like you still have the guts to be happy? You managed to escape because of her, and not only that, you didn't even get punished for it," Lillith crushed Sven's pauldron as she glared down at him with hatred.
"I'm sorry..." Sven went down on all four and started sobbing really hard.
Lillith clicked her tongue and kicked Sven away from the gravestone. "Your sorry means nothing, and you saw their parents back there right? They were thanking you like a fucking hero even though you were the one who killed her," Lillith asked as she put her foot on his neck. "I really want to kill you and ask Mykel to let you die forever. I want him to send you down to hell and suffer for eternity," Lillith showed her disgusted and furious face for the first time.
"Is that really what you want?" Mykel's voice could be heard from behind, and then he put his hand on Lillith's head. "But you killed innocent people too, Lillith. Are you being a hypocrite right now?" Mykel asked.
Lillith slowly turned around and looked Mykel in the eye. It was the same eye that she remembered when he gave her fear.
"If he's worthy of such punishment, then you should be punished even worse than him. Do you really think you can handle it?" Mykel asked and tightened his grip. "Everyone has a dark past, but did I ever bother by it or make a fuss about it?" Mykel asked again.
Lillith shook her head slowly because she remembered what fear was like.
"Then you shouldn't as well. When a man cries like that, they're at the lowest point of their life, and that should be enough to tell what he feels right now. So let him be," Mykel said as he removed his hand from Lillith's head. "Let's go," Mykel turned around and walked away.
Lillith glanced at Sven who hadn't stopped sobbing, and then followed Mykel.
