Power Built In Sorrow (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter 49

- The massacre continues, and almost everyone in the town has the same feeling, nostalgia. The battle reminds them of the day (Y/N) wiped out the Rakia knights that imprisoned them -

- None of the guards are even needed as blood-curdling screams are heard outside. Assisting her will only make them look like a liability, so they stay and protect the citizens -

"I can't bear to watch this." Vonika mumbled, seeing the cruel little girl rip the knights to shreds churns her stomach.

"The Entity's power is weakened. Its anger and hate back then dwarf what I'm seeing now." Baker commented, surprising Vonika.

"(Y/N) was bloodthirsty back then. He would repeatedly gut his opponents even after death." Baker relayed. His old eyes hurt from the horrors he saw (Y/N) do under the influence of the Entity.

"With how he acted, it really took me by surprise to hear Ares alive after his departure to end it all." He continued.

"Do you think the Entity had to do anything with it?" Vonika asked. So far, the one who controlled her didn't do any string-pulling.

"I think the Entity had all the things to do with it." Baker said, "The one controlling them is powerful... maybe it knew that if (Y/N) killed Ares at that age, he will survive." He continued.

"So it lessened its anger for (Y/N) to see mercy and spare Ares." Vonika finished. Baker merely nods.

- Both saw the little girl is done with her massacre and is covered in blood. Seeing this all-too-familiar scene, Baker knows what to do -

"Come here, (S/N). Let's clean you up!" He called. (S/N) nods and follows him inside the walls.

- The guards all walk out, seeing the pile of Knights dead. They all shake their heads and start clearing all of them out -

[With You]

- Sitting on that balcony is way more entertaining than trying to converse with Gods who simply didn't like you. As stated, the protection is already gone, and you have no reason to respect those who hate you -

"Looks like Bell doesn't also want to converse with these posh pricks." You said, seeing Bell on the opposite side of the balcony.

- You are about to walk closer, but you notice that person you almost killed on the bar is just below. It seems it also took Bell's attention. Both your eyes widen when a new face appears -

"This guy looks like trouble." You mumbled, holding the Nemesis pendant tighter in your hand.

- The man seems to feel Bell's stare. He turns around. Though thankfully, Bell stares away just in time. Hermes' arrival is on time too -

You turn around again but see the two conspirators already gone, "They're fast." You mumble. Things are already bad as it is, and unless it is an assassination on anyone inside your Familia or Ais, you won't bother to intervene.

- Speaking of Ais, your childhood friend stood there, alone. You take a brief glance at Bell and Hermes, you could faintly hear what they are talking about -

"Time for the big brother boost." You smiled, walking towards them. Bell sees you and moves to the side, "What Hermes is saying is that you're fucking blowing it!" You said, pushing pressure onto Bell.

- If that wasn't enough, Hermes stands up and asks Ais for a dance himself, but ultimately refuses her once she tries to accept -

"... And so, Bell, how about you dance with the Sword Princess for me?" Hermes shouted dramatically. You smile and shove Bell closer to the three.
