My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 285: Akron's Ruthlessness

-----

Gustav began to sweat nervously as he gritted his teeth.

His entire body stiffened in fear, but he forced himself to run away.

Although he was Rank 4 Magus, against someone like Akron, he was nothing.

And it wasn't as if he was good at fighting anyway, his power grew through his money, but he himself lacked a lot of fighting experience, he was going to be squashed like a bug by Akron's might, a magus who was born in the lowest of the low and had survived his entire life through his survival instincts and gathered experience.

Akron's father was an ambitious man, although he had been born in poverty, he worked hard to reach his goals, and took over a criminal organization while also taking care of his son.

However, Akron had his fair share of horrible experiences in the streets, where he often ran away from his overprotective father.

There he learned a lot about the world, and how it favored the rich.

But there was also another way to even defeat such people.

Might.

With might, authority, money, and even allies were nothing.

With might, Akron would be able to carve his path through this world filled with injustices and pain.

When his mother died when he was merely 5 years old due to being killed as revenge against his father, was when Akron promised himself and his mother that he would become strong enough to protect everything he loved.

Using the unique magic he was born with, which was cataloged as terrible due to his low D-Grade Talent Mana Core, Akron practiced and practiced magic, night and day.

And used it to create small weapons, needles, knives, and more.

With them, he helped arm his father's organization, alongside himself.

At the age of 6 is when he first killed a person.

And it was no one else than the bastard that sliced off his mother's throat.

He used the magic he relentlessly trained so much that his hair turned white, conjuring blades and needles, and giving the man, a Rank 1 Peak Stage magus, the most agonizing death he could even imagine.

After that day, Akron was reborn as a new man, and after becoming 12 years of age, his father died of a disease similar to cancer, which was untreatable even in a magic world such as Terra.

Akron had grown obsessed with finding something that could heal diseases, and found about the Jewel of Eternal Life, which the Eastgrande family was rumored to have…

He grew mercilessly like a true gang boss, slowly building up money, reputation, and power.

For years after years, he raised the food chain while forging negotiation bonds with aristocratic families.

Drugs, Artifacts, Cultivation Materials, Monster Parts, anything, he stole and sold it to the big shots of the city, and gained more reputation as a provider of resources within the underworld of Westwind.

Through all of this, he traveled around the world as well, getting to know new people, meeting new enemies which he defeated and grew stronger from, and more, gathering experience and forging his way to the top.

His heart had grown cold, seeking power without thinking about anything else.

However, that changed when a girl that turned his entire world upside down appeared, Eleonora.

A woman with a beautiful smile and a lovely nature, she slowly warmed the cold heart of Akron, and became his wife not long after…

But similarly to his father, she died of an incurable disease that she was born with, and Akron was left once more alone.

However, after remembering the existence of the Jewel of Eternal Life, he continued his journey to revive his beloved, trying to find a way to bring her back from death.

But could he finally find it? Would he one day be able to find such a mythical item?

After years of looking and negotiating, something finally came out, and Gustav was the one that offered such a mythical item.

Akron went insane, and his mind was clouded with the opportunity of being granted the chance of using it, giving everything he was asked for in exchange for one day begin given the chance to use the item.

Like this, through many years, he fed Gustav and the shady master he served with materials, stupidly doing their bidding…

He was blinded, and he lamented it greatly when he finally realized he was tricked horribly by Gustav!

But now… He came back to him… seeking revenge, he would make him pay!

No more holding back, no more being manipulated, Akron was going to crush Gustav and force him to cooperate!

He had grown way too soft, he had thought that there could be a peaceful way of doing things.

Although he loved Eleonora, not all the things she taught to him were completely right in such a world as Terra…

So he decided to painfully leave aside her words for once and to storm the place where the most prestigious family was.

Spatial Waves, Fire Beams, Light Arrows, Wind Blades, and more long-ranged attacks kept hitting him from all around, but by shielding himself with his Mercury magic, he was unfazed.

Akron roared like a mad wolf, as he destroyed anything on his path mercilessly!

The entire building was already falling apart, and Gustav had barely managed to run away from it in time…

But…

"There you are…!"

Akron's voice resonated through Gustav's ears as he saw a shadow figure with glowing crimson eyes reach him a second after!

"GGYYYYHHH…! G-Get away from me!"

Gustav unleashed a wave of pure darkness against Akron, but he was completely unfazed!

"Your attacks are meaningless!"

Akron rushed towards Gustav ash he pulled him down into the ground with a kick into his head, crushing him into the floor with his feet right over his face!

"Nnngaaggh…!"

"You tricked me!" roared Akron, as he generated a blade and cut off one of Gustav's arms, the young beast-kin cried in agony, but his loud cries couldn't be heard below his boots.

"Nnngggghohhhhhgghhh…!"

"Now… if you don't want to lose any more limbs, tell me where the real one is at!"
