Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 276: Damascus

[ Ding! ]

[ You Ate A Demon’s Heart! ]

[ Your Ego Will Be Boosted! ]

[ Choose One Of Two Egoes You Want To Upgrade! ]

’Is this a thing?’ Pablo didn’t expect such notifications.

But he would surely use them.

’The second one. Upgrade Mimesis Malefica.’

[ The Upgrading Has Begun! ]

No other notifications came after that and Pablo turned behind where the Demon was lying.

The Being was on his last breath and his red eyes stared at Pablo.

Pablo walked towards him and stood just in front of his face.

"Anything to say?" Pablo asked.

The Demon surprisingly replied as well. "Yes."

"Speak."

The Being took a deep breath and in his last strength, he said :

"My name is …"

The Demon shared his name with Pablo.

And that did put a smile on Pablo’s face.

"So you are finally afraid of me?"

"Heh." Blood came out of the Demon’s mouth but he still tried to speak.

"This not fear. This respect. As long as you are in this world…"

The Demon flashed a smile.

"No other Demons are needed."

And those were the last words of the Demon.

Pablo finally killed the otherworldly creature.

’How much time is left for God mode?’ He asked.

’Now you come to me. You killed a newborn child, Pablo. I stopped you for s..’

’How much time?’

’Rrggh. Fifty seconds. And come back now. The Demon is dead. No need to do anything else. Do you hear me? Pablo!’

’I can’t come back right now. I have some more things to do here.’

’No! You are digging your own grave. Come back!’

Cupid shouted many times but Pablo heard nothing. She was again ignored.

Her diary kept finding new words on its pages and all she could do was just watch how things would play out.

Pablo let the Demon rest and turned around to face the group of people who were hostages a few seconds ago.

All the thousand of them shuddered.

"Let us go. He is already dead."

"You did it. You won. Free us."

Pablo nodded. "What will you all do after going out?"

"We will live our lives. We won’t tell anyone about what happened today." A woman answered on behalf of everyone.

"What happened today? What will you not tell?"

"That you killed my child, asshole!" The woman screamed, veins popping on her neck.

"Exactly." Pablo clapped.

"That’s your anger right there and in that rage you will surely open your mouth and tell everyone what happened here."

Pablo walked towards the Woman.

"And obviously, I can’t have that."

The hostages took a step back from Pablo.

"What do you mean? Let us go. We won’t share anything. At least, let me go. I will not tell anyone what happened here. I will say the Demon did all this." A disabled man begged for his freedom.

"No. All of you will die. And I don’t have that much time so I won’t talk anymore. Got any last words?" Pablo made up his mind.

Everyone panicked and they backed off as far as they could from Pablo.

But it wasn’t enough. There was no way to get away from Pablo. They would all die.

So if they were all going to die anyway, they might as well say what was on their mind.

"Fcuk you!"

"You scum!"

"Die!"

"You will rot in hell!"

All of them began cursing Pablo and Pablo took all of that with a smile on his face.

The mother of that new born child had yet to speak but instead of cursing, she said :

"You will meet your match one day. And I hope it’s the last day of your life."

"I’ll wait for that."

Pablo replied to the woman and raised both his hands.

The people closed their eyes but the Woman stared at Pablo with no fear.

’Mothers are always the strongest ones.’

Pablo summoned fire on both of his hands and he directed all that fire on the people standing in front of him.

The elderly, the disabled, the children, everyone got engulfed in flames.

Their cries resounded in the chamber and till the last moment, the Woman stared in Pablo’s eyes.

Pablo felt her gaze deep inside his heart and in the last moments, he uttered :

"The world made me like this."

"Are you sorry?" The Woman asked.

Pablo kept staring at her and the woman saw something in his eyes.

"I see." The Woman, through her tears, smiled. "We both suffered today."

And those were the final words of the mother whose child was killed by Pablo.

She turned to ashes like everyone else and Pablo’s eyes stayed at the empty space where the Woman was standing.

Nevertheless, Pablo shook his head and got back to his usual self.

’What was that?’ Cupid asked. She never saw Pablo like that.

’Nothing. She just had good eyes.’

Pablo ignored Cupid after that.

He still had some time left for his God mode so he decided to finish things up.

"Gotta do it one go."

He snapped his fingers and in an instant, in front of him, three people arrived.

"What the-"

"It’s you…"

The King and Jamal were in the basement.

Other than these two, Adolf Hustler was also there and he said nothing.

Pablo teleported them here with a snap of his fingers.

All three of them looked around and they went wide eyed.

"What the hell happened here?" Jamal asked.

"I killed him." Pablo gestured at Demon’s dead body behind him.

"What about the hostages?" Jamal asked again.

"I killed them as well."

"What!?" Jamal exclaimed.

"Shut up. You are wasting your breath."

"Why did you call us here, Pablo?" The King asked a better question.

"I know all about you two." Pablo said.

"Wh-at do you mean?" Jamal asked.

Pablo nodded. "I’ll keep it short."

He stepped towards Jamal and stood in front of his face.

Jamal gulped and Pablo said :

"Damascus Maverick."

He said a name. The King’s name.

"Yes?" The King answered.

Pablo smiled, glancing at the King.

"You have been trained well."

The King twitched.

"Cut it out. What are you getting at?" Jamal barked.

Pablo jerked his head at Jamal.

"That is the name of the King of this Kingdom. And what I am getting at is…"

Pablo’s eyes turned red as he finished saying…

"You are Damascus Maverick."
