Alpha Reborn!

89 [Bonus chapter]89: The person behind the assassination!

The ice bullets tore through her flesh with brutal efficiency, turning her into a sieve.

Mia collapsed to the ground like a broken doll, her limbs splayed out in a grotesque and unnatural manner. Blood pooled beneath her, staining the ground with a sickening red hue. Her eyes remained open, staring blankly into the distance as her life slipped away.

It was always sad to see lives end like this, but Evan knew he had no other choice. It was either them or him, and he couldn't afford to show any mercy. If he had spared them, they would have come for him at the most unexpected time and aimed for his life.

With a heavy heart, Evan spoke in a cold and unyielding voice, "I hope this sends a message to any other bastard that might be lurking around here. I won't hesitate to defend myself."

One had to be heartless and ruthless in order to survive in this cruel and unforgiving world.

Although he was the Crown Prince of Frost, that rule also applied to him.

[Ding! You have subdued the Wonder Duo. You gain +180 EXP, +8 STR, +5 STA, +4 DEX, +7 AGI. Your soul energy bar has been permanently increased by 20 points!]

The lifeless bodies of Mia and Alex lay still on the ground as their blood evaporated, leaving behind dry corpses. Suddenly, a burst of crimson energy emerged from their remains, hurtling towards Evan with lightning speed. He was caught off guard, his mind racing to comprehend what was happening. He attempted to dodge it, but his reaction was too sluggish. It pierced through his body, but to his surprise, nothing occurred. It was not what he had anticipated.

Evan's mind reeled in confusion as he struggled to comprehend the situation.

"What the hell was that?!" he wondered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

In a flash, a notification from the system appeared before his eyes, its red lettering indicating the gravity of the situation.

[Ding! You have been cursed! The curse of attraction has been placed upon you.]

Evan's eyebrows raised as he read the words on the notification.

He was all too familiar with this curse. After all, it was one of the most dangerous in the game from his previous life. It had the power to lure in a myriad of perilous creatures towards the afflicted.

But why had slaying Maya and Alex triggered the activation of this curse?

Evan inspected their corpse.

His Inspection Skill kicked in, allowing him to see Mia and Alex's background information. As he delved into their past, he couldn't believe what he was reading.

The Frostweavers were a family who differentiated between legitimate heirs and children born out of wedlock. The latter were treated worse than dogs, referred to as "hounds," and were trained and brainwashed from a young age to follow Nicholas's commands at all costs. Eric, having a shrwed mother who publicized his existence to the world as she tried to bind herself to the clan, was lucky enough to escape this fate. He had seen the light of day and couldn't be trained into a Hound by Nicholas, as otherwise, Nicholas's devious actions would have been exposed.

Evan's eyes widened in disgust as he read on.

These hounds had been sent to kill him, but Nicholas, being afraid that they might fail in their mission, had put extra insurance in place.

If they failed to kill Evan and got killed by him in return, then a curse would activate, causing him to become the prey of the beasts in his surroundings, but this curse wasn't easily placed in a person's body.

A lot of disgusting things were needed to be done to make it possible.

The extent of Nicholas's cruelty and manipulation truly knew no bounds.

Evan felt a deep sense of anger and disgust towards the Nicholas and his sickening practices. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white as he made a vow to the heavens.

"I refuse to live under the same sky as Nicholas Frostweaver. I will make him pay for the atrocities he have committed the first chance I get," Evan vowed, his voice ringing out with ruthless determination, echoing through the dense Bloodwood Forest.

The trees rustled and the air around him seemed to shift, as if the universe itself was responding to Evan's vow.

Vwooorrr!

The sound of monstrous roars echoed through the air, causing Evan to turn his head in the direction of the source. His eyes narrowed as he caught sight of a pack of vicious monster charging towards him. After a short time, dozens of the creatures emerged from the cover of the trees, their bloodthirsty gaze fixed upon Evan's lone figure.

"Nicholas, the plan you came up with to kill me legitimately is perfect but you made one mistake. You underestimated me and it's going to cost you everything." Evan said, a ruthlesless glint flashing in his eyes.

In a split second, one of the beasts leaped forward with razor-sharp claws, aiming to tear Evan apart, but he moved at a speed that was almost impossible to follow, evading the attack with ease and coming behind the monster.

The magic sword was held tightly in hand, its gleaming blade reflecting the faint sunlight that passed through the dense canopy overhead.

Die!

In one swift motion, he struck the monster, the sword cleaving through its body with ease.

Giwuck!

The monster let out a deafening howl of agony as it was cut in half by the magic weapon.

[Ding! You have killed a level 6 monsters. You have gained +60 EXP, and +2 AGT!]

Vwooorrr!

The monsters let out ferocious roars as they closed in on Evan, their fangs bared and claws at the ready.

"You're no match for me, you pitiful beasts."

When he uttered those words, his magic sword began to glow in a mesmerizing blue hue as his blade master crystal drew upon the energy stored in his soul pockets.
