Demon Lord's Reincarnation-Chapter 653 The Beginning Of Everything
"You want to kill me simply because you can? I should die simply because you feel irritated? So does that mean if I have the power I can kill you too?"
The expression on the God's face when he heard Erste's words was that of surprise as he was stunned silent and then after a brief pause he suddenly laughed heartily.
"Of course, if you had enough power you can kill me too if you so wish. Unfortunately for you, the weak have no choice."
"So is it fun to fight those that have no chance of fighting back?" Erste asked with a continued look of indifference.
"Hoh, now that you say it maybe a different kind of game is in order."
The God stretched out his hand and pulled out something from a sub-space. The item the God took out was a very large sword-like object. It was a sword that look like it was infused with the night sky, as tiny stars twinkle within it. The shape of the weapon was like two swords fused into one with the middle of the blade missing. The God then tossed the weapon over to Erste.
"Here this is a weapon that could kill me. I'll let you borrow it for now. Of course, I made it lighter so that you could at least lift it up."
Erste grabbed hold of what looked like to be the hilt of the large weapon. Upon lifting up the weapon Erste felt great power emanating from it and like the God said the weapon was as light as a feather.
"Now you have a chance of winning, even though it's just a minuscule almost non-existent chance, it's still there. Now make this a bit more interesting for me."
The God then appeared before Erste and was about to slap the other party to death, Erste who had no idea how to use swords, tumbled backward evading the attack, and then started running away.
"So we're going to play tag now." The God smiled mischievously as he started walking.
...
Erste who was running all over the place, was always easily found by the God. Erste kept on running and hiding as he carried around the weapon unable to think of a way to change the outcome of his death.
The God even while walking was faster than him, and nothing in this world except for the sword in his hand could damage the God. It was such a desperate situation yet the same as before Erste's expression remained indifferent but what was happening inside was very different.
Erste's heart was beating faster and faster as a certain thing was being born within him, he wasn't sure what it was but it felt comfortable. Erste didn't notice that there was already a slight smile on his face.
"So we changed from a game of tag to hide and seek." The voice of the God sounded as if he was right beside Erste. "Don't worry I won't use my abilities to find you, if I did that the game will be too boring."
...
Erste who was hiding in the corner heard the approaching God and held the weapon in his hands tightly. When he heard that the God was about to reach the corner Erste swung his body and slashed with all his might. It was a very awkward slash but it made the God step backward evading the strike and a strand of his hair was cut.
Erste who had failed to kill the God with that strike started running away again. As he was running he once again remembered the feeling of cutting the God's strand of hair and his heart was beating even faster than before and the smile on his face was growing wider.
"Oh, you're right little man, playing the game this way is more exciting than just killing you humans without resistance. As a thank you for introducing such a fun game, I promise when I kill you I will keep your corpse intact."
It wasn't just Erste who was smiling even the God chasing him was smiling from ear to ear, this feeling of chasing one's prey was something new he hasn't experienced in his entire life. Humanity has been reset numerous times now, and this human should've already reset the same amount of times but this was the first time he has seen a human act this way.
Erste who tried doing surprise attacks a few more times failed, the only time he was able to cut something off was the first surprise attack and that was just a strand of the other party's hair. While running away Erste who was in an alleyway arrived at a dead end.
Erste who wanted to run back in a different direction saw that the God was already blocking his path. This was such a desperate situation but Erste who had gained some emotions felt even more excited.
"Oh, I see, it seems that the game is about to end. It was an enjoyable hunt little human and I thank you for it. As I said to you before as a form of thanks for showing me something fun I will keep your body intact and I promise to keep it clean as a trophy."
The God slowly walked toward Erste, each step echoed loudly in Erste's ears which matched the beat of his heart. Erste's heart was no longer beating fast but it was beating loudly. Erste held the weapon that could kill the God tightly as his face showed a very vicious smile.
It was at this moment memories of different lives flooded into his mind. Each life that he had lived never reached old age as he was always killed by different Gods. Yet unlike all those times, this was the first time he questioned it and had the chance of victory.
'This might be my only chance to kill a God.'
The smile on Erste's face became even more vicious as he looked at the approaching God who had deliberately slowed down his walking. It was obvious that this God noticed Erste had awakened some emotions that other humans do not have, this means that this God was trying to enhance a certain emotion by walking so slowly. The God finally arrived one foot away from Erste.
"You're smiling so widely so that you could mask the fear you now feel inside. It is wonderful isn't it, gaining so many emotions in such a short time. Well, I wonder how it would feel to kill a human with such colorful emotions. Let's find out, shall we?"
Before the God did anything Erste swung the weapon upward but the God evaded by swaying his body backward a bit. The weapon then flew out of Erste's hand.
"How unfortunate, that you failed even with a weapon that could kill me." The God then lightly pierced his hand into Erste's body but to his surprise, his attack missed Erste's heart. Erste was actually able to move at the time of the attack and shifted the God's attack to the lower abdomen.
"Even if you do that, it just makes your life only last a second longer." As the God was about to pull out his hand, Erste suddenly grabbed hold of the God's hand. "Wha's the point of doing this?" It was at that moment that God who was relaxed all throughout the encounter suddenly showed a look of panic as he quickly backed away, but he was a little late as the weapon that was tossed upward fell and actually sliced the hand Erste was holding.
This was the first time the God had been hurt and it was done by his own weapon in the hands of one of the humans he despises. In a state of shock, the God wasn't able to react as Erste caught the weapon and did a horizontal slash. The God's head was detached from his body, and then the weapon pierced through his true essence which shifts from different parts of his body. Erste was actually able to see where his true essence was, and even as he was disappearing all the God felt was confusion.
It wasn't by luck Erste attacked the God's true essence. The truth was Erste noticed every time he did a surprise attack the God would calmly evade, but at the same time he evaded there was a subtle movement of his arm as if he was shielding something. Erste thought that part must be important which is why stabbed it.
This very day was the start of everything a human being was actually able to kill a God.
