REPLIES TO COMMENTS

Guest : As you wish ^^ Here it is ^^

SlightlyYandereMelissa : I'm sorry, I spelt it wrong. It's *Zzigg Zoldyck. It wasn't clearly stated in the late parts of the manga what is he in the Zoldyck Family, but he was introduced as one of Netero's comrades back then in an unrecorded expedition to the Dark Continent. Presumably, he is prolly Zeno's uncle.

Infinityworlds : Oh snap xD I really thought the 〝ル〟 in their names are converted to 'llu' in english... f(^^;)
The next time I upload the next chapters, Ill replace it with the correct spelling. Thanks for pointing it out.
Keep on reading ^^ Don't worry about anyone dying lol xD

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ACCOUNTS IN HERE AND WRITE STORIES, IS ANYONE OF YOU GUYS EXPERIENCING THE INABILITY TO VIEW THE STATS OF YOUR FICS?

Anybody help?

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the reviews ^^

CHAPTER 16
- CLOSURE -

I clenched the chains with my fist as I started to charge electricity in my both hands.

I took a deep breath... "Here we go..."

I averted my eyes from his the moment I released a current into the chains traveling towards the shackles that bound his wrist. I shut my eyes while listening to the cracking sound of electric shocks that traveled around his young, fragile body.

I heard none of reactions from him. I don't wanna look. Not because I sympathize him. But because I might get tempted to take this seriously... and I am battling against myself from this lust for blood and suffering of my poor prey.

"In that table shows the amount of voltage you had to transmit... read it carefully." Gramps ordered. "If he endures the initial voltage successfully, don't hesitate to move to the next level until you reach the top."

"But..."

It's not that I am protesting against it. I have never used my power to hurt anyone that didn't do me or my friends any wrong. So I am not so sure if I can generate enough voltage to 'torture' him...

"It's an order." Gramps admonished. "I have reminded you numerous times not to hold back whenever."

"Understood..." I bowed my head to concede.

"When the whole list of voltages is achieved, I want you to come over for a Summary Report on his progress so I can give you a new list for him to work on."

I skimmed through the whole list while thinking... He was the same person however who made me feel miserable all throughout. I always strive to get out of his clutches. But it somehow feels wrong to use this opportunity to get back at him. That kid and the person who I've been with in the present felt like two different beings already... It's not the same being who will receive the punishment...

It's just not right...

"If he faints, of course you had to stop and try to wake him up to resume or if not wait again until he wakes up then giving him the same voltage until he can finally withstand it by the certain period of time allocated for every voltage listed."

"Yes Master..."

I knew all of these... It's exactly the same strict torture program they gave me before. A lot stricter compared to the ones Milluki and Kalluto underwent. I and Aniki indeed experienced the hardest training between us siblings hence what we are now...

Only that Aniki was trained for me and my siblings and the whole family. Not for himself. Not for his own sake.

Just like how I was being forced into the family business to be the heir without even considering what I really wanted to do with my life...

In reality, none of us in this family lived for our own sake. It's always about the family's welfare...

Only that, it's more obvious now that I and aniki had the least freedom among us five...

"Oh, and you're not allowed to free him from his shackles... He must come down on his own. You will not leave him until he hasn't freed himself out of it and that's regardless of time."

My eyes widened... Why do I have to get involved?

"Yes. You're basically involved in this. This is to assure that you would train him effectively because if he fails, you fail as well. Failure to comply to the given rules will result to a unwanted events. You don't want to make an enemy out of us, right?"

For the moment, I felt a bit strange hearing Gramps being this strict on me. But I can see where is he coming from. I am a stranger. To assure that I am not gonna do anything stupid and for them to ensure me to do my job efficiently, they had to set me into this condition.

"30 mins' is up...! Time to raise up a notch, Young Master..." I warned as I got myself ready to generate a stronger current...

Its been an hour and a half...

He did not respond. I am not too sure if he can still go this far. When I was his age, as far as I could remember, it also gave me hard time withstanding this huge amount of electricity running around his body.

I still avoided looking at him. It wasn't an easy task to simultaneously generate electricity while holding it down to a level my manual indicates. It's zapping down my energy as well. I can only hold Ren until 4-7 hours.

The smell of burning metal started to linger in the air the moment I increased voltage that gave out louder cracking noises.

Amidst the cracking noises I heard faint gasps... a slight vocalization of the pain he was currently going through.

I wasn't able to resist myself... I tried to glance back to him to see him in a very rare state I've never seen him before.

He was twitching, writhing in agonizing pain... His soulless eyes dilated as wide as it could that eventually rolled itself to the back of his head. His teeth were chattering and he apparently tried to stifle a scream. The expression in his face, although in extreme shock has always remained stoic, void of emotions.

Am I happy?

He is physically suffering at the moment. Squirming, twitching in tremendous pain. I can tell in a few moments, he's not gonna make it and fall unconscious. For a normal person, this huge amount of electric current inside one's body is an instant death.

I am under pressure. This is it. The very moment I had to make up my mind. I only had a few seconds to decide.

His life is now on my hands. If I extend for a few more minutes after he collapses and increase a bit more voltage, he can finally rest eternally in peace and I can finally go back to the present without worrying about him and his wicked attempts to restrain and control me and Alluka once again like he did before. Or I can also die with him as well. Fair enough. At least I had him feel like how it is to suffer with my bare hands...

"I..it hurts..."

He spoke his final words in a hoarse, choked voice before his head finally drooped down towards the ground, losing consciousness. He stopped moving and his hands and legs went limp...

I haven't stopped passing electric current into him yet... And I only needed a few more minutes and a few more volts...

His skin started to bruise, cracks and wounds started to emerge... and several parts of his body started to burn...

I have to learn to forget everything...

And act like he never existed if I ever manage to go back to the present alive.

That I never had someone like him in my life who had laid an eternal curse on me...

" 'Life was never fair'... I learned that from Gramps. People who play dirty would die a dirty death. The moment Dad told me that I thought, someday I would die in a horrible way..."

"And are you okay with that?"

"I don't know? I don't think death is that much of a horrible thing as much as people are too scared of it."

"How horrible would I die? Why and how?"

"Maybe next time, tour me around the city with your Electric Nen when I'm not sleepy anymore... I wanted to enjoy the ride... but my eyes are not helping..."

"It's called Godspeed... young master"

"Nice name..."

"How does it feel like having a big brother?"

"Your name?"

"Kill..."

"Hmm... Kill... Nice name..."

"Say, young master, what made me pass your little 'test'?"

"Because you're cool... be grateful."

I've made up my mind... I have nothing more to regret. This is going to be the last time and I have to finally put all of these to an end. This is the only way towards a peaceful change in my life...

I have no regrets...

I didn't choose a different path for nothing... I did not change my view in life for nothing.

I won't hold back anymore.

After this, there shall be no more...

And everything must be put to rest...
