The Ultimate Support Character

Now that this Corrupted Barbarian is unconscious, I got another chance to observe how the higher energy was corrupting him. It looks like the source of it came from a certain part of every Physique Cultivator. The place where the Brute Energy was being stored in their body, something like the dantian that was often mentioned in cultivation novels.

From there, it was slowly crawling throughout his body. What will happen if they're completely corrupted? Based on what I saw from that Saint Realm before, this same energy disintegrated him. Will that be their end if the corruption completely filled their bodies? Will it be that unless this world was successfully assimilated, their only end is to die from the corruption?

I don't know. That's why I thought of using those three to corrupt this guy further, hastening the speed of corruption.

The problem is how to compel them to do what I want. I guess the torturing will be done to them.

Ah. These are my dark thoughts again. Now I'm aware that it surfaced. Will I make use of this? Torturing them to spill out information and to do what I will tell them.

I have no knowledge about any torturing methods but I feel like I could improvise if I let these dark thoughts take over.

I want to know. Not only what happened to Raiden but also about their inherent energy.

Also, I want to be more aware of how dark can I be. Zerina stopped me back in the previous world. Unless the Old Man decides to stop me later, no one will.

My wait for the Old Man didn't take long. Leisurely walking out from the deserted camp, he was dragging something like a rope with three figures tied into it. The three Dark Beastmasters from earlier were this powerless against him. Their otherworldly beasts were nowhere to be seen. Most likely, the Old Man killed those ugly creatures, especially the lizard.

"Y-you! I told you we should've killed him. It's because of your useless question!"

Ah. That's the master of the monkey-like beast. This guy was the first one to order his beast to attack me. Upon seeing me here, he was surprised and had a realization that I was the reason why they were captured.

"Huh?! Don't f*cking blame me. We were only told to stand guard there."

The master of the panther-like beast refuted while spilling out some information.

Who was it and why were they sent to stand guard in that deserted camp?

"Shut your mouths! My Gali died!"

Ah. This guy is the lizard's master. He even named it Gali. Poor guy.

"Are you sure these guys will be reliable?"

Old Man Reol asked in doubt. They're foreign invaders, right? He's probably wondering why they act like this.

"I also have no idea that they're like this. But they will be. I'll make it happen."

I unsheath my sword and went next to them. Restrained by that rope of Old Man Reol, they could only kneel in front of me as they argue with each other.

"Huh? Wait! What are you doing?"

The master of panther-like beasts noticed what I was about to do, he couldn't help but shout in question. Well, that's the only thing he can do anyway.

"Getting back from earlier? No. I'm going to torture you until you do my bidding."

Pointing my sword at his arm, the Brute Energy started gathering on it and I only needed to wave it a bit to shoot an Energy Slash towards him.

"Trash. You only relied on the strong. Fight us one on one and you'll see!"

Seeing the danger his companion was facing, the master of the monkey tried to provoke me. But yeah, I already let my dark thoughts take over.

I needed to do this. No, I chose to do this. He might be right that I only relied on Old Man Reol to enact this kind of revenge on them. They cost me the last bit of World Energy I stored after all.

Since I could pry out information as well as get back at them, then this is fine. There's no Yuko or Zerina who will see what I'm about to do.

"Why would I do that? I'm not a combat addict, besides I have a favor to ask you three."

Still pointing my sword to the first guy. I looked at the other two and also at Old Man Reol, what could be his reaction?

The Old Man was only watching in silence beside the unconscious Corrupted King Realm. Right, just like me, he was also observing my actions. He told me how different I am from Raiden but with this, will that view change?

"You're a trash! Why would we listen to you? Just kill us!"

The master of the monkey continued in his provocation.

I guess I'll listen to him this time.

I lowered my sword and stopped the forming of my Augmented Skill.

He was surprised at what I did, overjoyed even. Thinking they still have a chance. Contrary to his expectation, I only decided to change my target to the lizard-loving Beastmaster.

"Ah. And here I thought of letting you go after we're done."

I muttered these words as I slowly walked towards the still crying master of the lizard.

When I reached him, he looked up with tears and snot on his face. Ugh. Like beast like master. Gross.

"Sorry, he spoke about what he wanted to happen. Rejoice, you are going to join your Gali soon."

Before the words even registered in his mind, my sword was already stabbed at his chest. It pierced him easily without any form of defense. When it reached deep, I triggered Energy Explosion.

His last scream was cut off when even his lungs were blown to bits from that kind of internal explosion.

I've already killed enough barbarians that something like this failed to affect me. Ah. Even if I want to, this Adaptability is making me calm, letting my dark thoughts run rampant.

As I pulled my sword out, he dropped lifeless to the ground.

The faces of the other two were immediately filled with terror. I did that without hesitation after all.

"Y-you…"

The guy who told me to kill them stuttered

"What? I did what you asked, now who's next?"

I alternately looked at the remaining two and when my gaze landed on the master of the panther, he immediately begged for his life while cursing his companion.

"I'll answer and do what you will ask. Just don't kill me!"

"You coward!"

Now that I got his compliance, I hit the adamant Dark Beastmaster on his head and he dropped to the ground, unconscious.

"Now, we're talking. Spill everything and do what I will tell you after. I'll let you go by then, you can even take this guy with you."

I smirked and pointed at the unconscious Dark Beastmaster.

I made a play with my words but yeah, he's too desperate right now that he didn't notice it.

I might be willing to let him go but there's still the Old Man. His fate now rested in his hands.

I guess, letting my dark thoughts take over worked. Now, let's hear what he has to say.
