Chapter 90

The stone that I had used the create the blade of the ax had been damaged severely, to the point where it might not even work as an ax anymore but more as a blunt object.

I quickly tilted my head to the left, narrowly avoiding the root that tried to shoot through my eye and into my brain.

I looked deep into the eyes of the treant and with a wry smirk, I lifted the ax to the right and swung it at the root that had attacked me.

With a single swing, I was capable of cutting the too right off, and with a second swing, I had cut its arm off cleanly.

"You think you can try killing me..." I breathed out.

The silence between my sentence was deafening.

My smirk to it must have been the smirk of a devil. How could something as weak as me kill it? I was nothing but an insect to them after all... Maybe I was playing with them? Maybe this whole thing was just a sick game to me? A game of life and death where I am the only decider who leaves this place alive.

Those were probably the thoughts of the thing I was looking at.

"There is no longer anyone to judge me for my actions... My parents are gone... My girlfriend is dead... My best friend had died in the hands of those... things... And my girlfriend's best friend happened to be a spy..." I kept blabbering on to myself.

"And I've been sent to a reality where they do not even exist anymore, or at least not yet, or maybe not ever."

"My every move could mean that the future had changed. Me killing you could mean that my family would never exist. But at the same time, me killing you could mean that they do exist in the future."

After realizing what I was saying, I finally looked down at its expressionless, yet somehow terror-stricken face.

I would have wanted to cover the smile that crept up from the corners of my lips, but I simply did not have another hand to cover my mouth with.

"What am I saying... It's not like you can understand me anyway." And with those words, I raised my ax once more to land the final blow... The blow that would end my current temporary misery while ending the treants misery permanently.
