Seeing how Antak was returning, I felt a sudden chill and instinctively started to wrap some of the wire on the bat, and feeling such sudden restraint on him made him look fiercely at me.
But I had my own problems, and keeping him unsealed put me in grave danger of being slaughtered before even reacting, so I tried to ask him about the mess, but he frowned after seeing how I was still putting a seal on him when he just now saved my ass, but what could he even do? So he sighed and spoke in a pretty creepy and taunting tone, "Brat, that guy was all just rage, guilt, and regret.
So he was consumed by my curse, and now this energy core remains of his pure emotions, but due to being mostly corrupted by these sickening feelings, so now he is free, as his power also greatly declined due to that, and now he is nothing but an energy core."
Hearing his words, I also spoke in a taunting tone: "So why did you save him?" Hearing my words, he gave a creepy grin before speaking: "I did it because of some ungrateful bastard who doesn't even know how to say thanks for saving his butt and took all the trouble for his suffering."
Now seeing this creepy bastard, I gave a playful pinch to his arm and said, "Yeah, yeah, all hero talk. How selfless you are, that you are not even thinking about telling us about the realm you reached after devouring all his dark energy, huh?
Yeah, this ungrateful bastard won't thank you, but I will thank these mothers' and children's souls that we managed to crush that arsehole!"
Seeing us in this strange composure made both the mother and kid ghosts feel a bit confused, so I came to their side and handed those white energy remains to both of them, giving them essence, which caused the kid to pass away.
But the mother ghost started to evolve into a higher-level spirit, and her body started to form, and her real looks came out, and to our surprise, she was insanely beautiful, as in the memories of that man, her image was blurry because of intensive corruptive emotions.
But seeing her like this was making my heart pretty lively, but I still remembered that memory where he said that his wife framed him for stealing money from his boss, so I had to confirm it.
As I could keep a bastard by my side but not a traitor, I asked in a firm tone, "So, ma'am, what is your name and your story? Your husband told me to take care of you just now, so I want a few pretty answers before I help you."
Hearing my words surely made her feel the intensity of the situation, as she spoke, "Ok, sir, I am Niyomi, as I was born before the Great War of Japan and died. My husband's name was 'Aoto'. As you already saw, most parts of our life are in those memories, but they were incomplete and missing because they were corroded by my husband's rage and hatred."
So hearing how she was answering like a nice goddess, I also felt like listening to her more: 'So those painful memories were more like this: when my husband was framed as a criminal, I went to his work area and met his boss.
And tried to plead with him that my husband was innocent, so please meet the shogun and get him released from the prison. But you see, that bastard gave a vile offer to me, saying that if I slept with him, then he would release my husband."
Hearing how this boss bastard was more like an old movie villain and how the justice even in that era was nothing but a whore of a rich person's bed, I felt that her story was seeming pretty true now, and even the surroundings were feeling silent.
But it was way too silent that i was feeling chills to my spine, while i continued hearing her words:" At first, for a few days, I didn't give in but kept trying to seek someone to help me, but that bastard shogun was not ready to hear my words, no matter how much i tried to find justice, and save my husband, but still I wasn't able to help my husband."
Well now this jerk was seeming like, he was about to ask a creepy question to her, so i tightened my grip on the wire, causing him to understand my gesture, while we let her continue her story: 'After losing all hope, and finding no other way, I decided to agree to his words, but that bastard, instead of helping my husband, started to frame him even further, and the day when my husband was about to be released from prison, I heard that asshole, who was talking about killing my husband and making sure that it looks like a accident.'
Fuck, now even her story was seeming quite familiar, but it was something that had a resemblance to the memories of that aoto, so I couldn't deny her and could only continue hearing her story.
'So feeling betrayed, I tried to protect my children and even to protect my husband from him but failed miserably. As a result, you saw that scene where I was raped and was soaked in blood with my children while then Aoto's rage and all that. We tried to tell him the truth, but he was just way too scared to accept the reality and feared that even such moments would also leave his life.'
Now hearing her words, this asshole started giving me obvious looks, while i gave him annoyed gaze, and she still continued her story: 'Soon he developed a curse within him, which sucked his soul and kept burning him in his own flames; that rage took thousands of lives and made him a miserable soul among the dead.'
Hearing the reason, I could understand the meaning of her gaze, as her husband's story was pretty similar to mine; that even I could clearly see myself in the same situation, so I took a deep puff of my cigar and continued hearing her words: 'With such rage, we were bound by his soul, and seeing his miserable condition, we hoped that someday someone could save him, and you appeared.'
Well, it surely wasn't like how we imagined, but you still saved him from agony. So thanks, sir. But may I know the Sir's name?'
Hearing her story, I looked at this creep while he confirmed that she was telling the truth. So seeing how she was telling the truth, I felt an urge to see her more clearly, and after seeing her, damn, she was a nice-looking hot woman.
Well, now I could really believe the reason why both her husband and that jerk boss banged her this good. The boss's turn can be worth criticizing, but that husband guy clearly banged her good, fuck i couldn't imagine how he must have went inside of her, Damn!
While I was thinking about her, her face started to flush and turn red, while this creep whispered to me, "Brat, control your thoughts. Don't you remember that we all spirits have a basic ability to read anyone's mind?
And how the fuck can you even think about banging her? You just promised her husband that you would take care of her, and now after seeing her figure, you're thinking of banging, huh?"
While we were whispering, she wasn't even trying to look at us, while this arsehole kept lecturing me: 'And don't act like a perv, jerk; every aura that we made in front of her will be ruined because of your cheap balls. At least try to act like a boss.
But I can't blame you, as real men only have two instincts: the first is survival and the other is lust. So heh-heh, if you manage to, you know, like, impress her, then please invite me also, and you can even brag about all the hot stuff about me.'
Well, our whispers were pretty clear to her, but she wasn't saying anything outside, but I was sure that she might be cursing us from inside.
Seeing such peaceful moments after such a long time in my life, I felt a bit funny and gave them a smirk and spoke, "Ok, so hear this, everyone. After today's battle, I saw that I would be needing people on my side to slay all creeps in my path. So Antak and you will be accompanying me from now on, and surely I won't ask about either of your wishes, so better get used to it."
Hearing my words, Antak gave me a taunting smirk while Niyomi firmly nodded, but I still couldn't just let my guard down while having such powerful spirits around me.
So now it was time for me to visit Imu and Nona at their home.
