Death God System

12 Brother

I looked at the four youths that didn't know how to approach me, perhaps I had scared them or maybe they fear my strength now, I wasn't sure. Even though I had Shu Yi and Shu Er, it was all right being alone. Until now they sort of found me normal, but my last attack with the flying Scythe and the Old Man's soul threw their mind into confusion.

I looted what was left of the bodies; it wasn't much, but I collected every piece of trash I found. What was left of the corpses was also collected, having fixing parts for myself was always good. I better be not that wasteful next time though, there were hundreds of incomplete corpses above 5th rank, I wasted so many pieces. Sigh.

'What have I become? Is this all humans are to me? Pieces of flesh to fix myself?'

The room was deadly silent, my sigh released all my emotions flowing with the air, it pierced through the four youths' ears. The petrified youths recovered with mixed feelings and thoughts. I saw their struggling deep in their eyes. Perhaps my existence was something too hard to accept. Who knows, I might never get a friend.

Xiao Wu was the first to react. Her petite body was moving through the remains I didn't collect, I could see her beautiful crying face getting closer. In front of my eyes, her actions were in a slow motion, I caught every small detail on her expression. She kneeled down and looked straight into my eyes. She wasn't confused or scared, it was a strange sight to see, she was feeling grateful yet regretful.

"Ye Bai... I'm sorry. This is too much, I have people I need to take care of. I can't be as carefree as you. I cannot face their retaliation. Thank you for saving my life. Sorry," Xiao Wu's voice sounded lower word after word, with tears more abundant than in a raining day, she had betrayed her heart for the sake of her loved ones.

Her previous Brother was no longer present, our small relationship has ended. In her eyes, I was a monster, but it wasn't enough to put her faith in me. How long did we know each other? What did I expect?

I didn't notice it at first, my eyes didn't show it. My Scythe was back in my hand, the blade resting against Xiao Wu's perfect and thin neck. A little push was all I needed and Xiao Wu would breathe her last breath. My arm trembled, my mind screamed against it. She did nothing, it was her choice and she would pay a heavy price for betraying her heart, it was not something like a huge betrayal. The Scythe in my hand disappeared, I recalled it to the system's inventory.

After kowtowing three times she muttered: "I reject the test." A blue light engulfed her petite body, and she disappeared.

I knew Xiao Wu was smarter than the rest, as she deducted a way out of the test. Sometimes the Ancient Ruins tests were done without a break, and sometimes there were a few moments to rest. It was at that moment when the exit tokens could be used. Right now, we were still facing a survival test, so based on what the old man told us, we needed to accept the test. I never thought that the test could also be rejected.

Chu Xian's axe appeared in his hand.

He had a serious face, I wondered what Chu Xian was going to do. He was a very basic young man, in fact, all from their Berserk Mountain were simple. His way of expressing himself was to quarrel, that was what he'd always done with Li Qi. Chu Xian walked with his head lowered in a wall direction. I was feeling slightly disappointed, truth to be told, I expected more from this proud young man.

"Brother Ye, you should observe carefully, he will give you his answer that's the man I never won in a true combat." Li Qi smiled as his elegant voice reached me.

Chu Xian's muscles grew bigger, wrong, his whole body grew. He was now 2 times bigger than me! His robes were destroyed, he was totally exposed, his veins bulging all over his body. I could hear his heart beating from where I was, what a mighty ancient bloodline.

"Brother Ye! This is all I can do to help you out,"

Chu Xian's voice was followed by an immense roar. His back muscles bulged out, strength flowing into his arms. Gripping his axe with both hands, he unleashed an attack toward the wall.

The loud noise stunned me, it didn't make the room tremble like me, but it was not that far away. Then... Why? Why were they so afraid of Lu Xin? Chu Xian could turn her into dust... 'Huh?!'

Blood flew out from Chu Xian's mouth.

"I can help only you out this much! Bring it, out I fear no one! Perhaps I might not be able to stand by your side, but so what! Even big bosses need their minions to be killed. I will be a true man to the very end!" Chu Xian turned to look at me while laughing.

His face was pale, it was clear that he was not in full control of his bloodline and was trying to restrain it. His eyes injected with blood showed traces of the ancient and mighty Berserk Bloodline. I simply knew it, any man in the world would understand were that wild look was coming from. This man would slaughter his way to the very top once his bloodline and his wild nature totally awakened. I couldn't control myself and laugh 'A true man? So be it.'

"Go on! Otherwise, I would feel disappointed, Brother Chu!"

"I accept the test!" roared Chu Xian.

"Now you know the reason why Chu Xian never went out. Trying to control his berserk bloodline will cause a backlash. There is a huge chance that he goes berserk and starts a massacre, he's not in control. He's a simpleton, he unleashed his bloodline even at the price of hurting him or us because he trusted you as his Brother"
