Chapter 108

"I see... So you aren't going to answer... Well, that's fine. I wonder though, how would your family look at you if they saw you like this?"

My movement halted while my eyes widened before eventually narrowing with a cold expression.

"What were their names again? Well, does it really matter? They are dead anyway, right?" I clenched my hand into a fist.

"Dead people can't tell you what to do, yet they watch over you all the time. Imagine how disappointed they would all be after seeing that their son had come out as such a failure." The creature chuckled while I simply stood behind one of the trees completely ignoring the oncoming flames.

Blood trickled from the center of my palms as my fingernails pierced them, dropping to the ground without a single audible sound.

'It's trying to provoke me...'

"To think you would be the last of their family bloodlines. How sad they must be. Imagine having someone so incompetent, so stupid, so weak and so pathetic as the sole anchor to your bloodline? they mut think that you probably disgraced their famil- no... You must have disgraced their entire race." It chuckled again.

I could feel the blood boiling under my skin.

My teeth had been gritted so hard that my gums were bleeding.

I was feeling so much rage, not because it spoke ill of my family even though that happened to be an element, but because I kind of believed its words...

I felt weak.

I felt useless.

I felt powerless.

They were all feelings I felt when standing before creatures of this era, and they also were the same feelings I felt when standing before the elves.

"Don't you just feel so w-" It bit its tongue when it began feeling something strange in the air.

For some reason, the air around it had started to feel heavy while breathing seemed to take more effort than it had previously done.
