Shiro silently listened to the wails of the two of them, and it could be said that the more pitifully they howled, the more satisfaction he felt.
Honestly speaking, he even thought that he might have some kind of twisted hobby.
He continued again and again, again and again, until he finally stopped after reassembling their shattered souls once more, because there was no point in continuing.
At that moment, Shiro stretched out his hand, looked at the two people who were on the verge of death, and struck them with a burst of energy. A wave of energy appeared inside their bodies, instantly waking them up. Their eyes were wide open, but full of terror.
The person before them was even more demonic than a demon. They could endure ordinary physical attacks, perhaps even pain ten times greater, but attacks on their minds and souls made them long for death.
And just then, a blood-red dagger appeared in Shiro's hand. He looked at the two of them with malicious intent. When they saw the dagger, their hearts filled with fear. Although they didn't know what he was going to do, based on their recent experience, they knew it wouldn't be anything good.
At that moment, Shiro began spinning the small dagger in his hand, starting to cut them into thousands of pieces, with each person receiving 999 cuts. With every slash, the dark aura attached to the small dagger also cut into their souls.
They were sliced apart little by little until both of them looked like ordinary skeletons, but he didn't stop. Instead, he restored them to their normal state.
Seeing themselves once again full of vitality and with completely restored bodies, the two of them collapsed and shouted:
"Devil! You're a devil!"
Shiro enjoyed their curses. After all, their broken voices and various profanities at that moment also showed that his torture had been very effective.
"Why are you cursing me? After all, you were the ones who made the first move. I didn't want to do this. Why did you force me?"
At that moment, Shiro made an offended expression and stabbed the two of them several more times.
"Hiss!"
Blood continuously sprayed from their bodies, but Shiro had no intention of stopping.
"You should know that there are only a few people I care about, yet you still had to make a move. Couldn't you have simply come after me?"
Shiro spoke while cutting them apart, until the two of them became skeletons once again. At that point, he became somewhat bored. Immediately afterward, dark flames began erupting from his body. He directed them toward the two skeletons, instantly setting them ablaze. The two of them wailed in their skeletal forms. Their bony jaws moved with clicking sounds.
Shiro remained indifferent, watching as the skeletons slowly turned to ashes.
The moment they turned to ashes, it was as though something else had burned away as well.
Shiro watched everything disappear and clearly knew that no one would be able to revive them unless he himself decided to act. Of course, someone stronger than him could do it, but such a person would not exist. Who stronger than him would have so much free time that they would revive two insignificant people?
After finishing all of this, Shiro looked into the distance. The very next moment, he appeared behind a person wearing a black cloak.
"Yami, after watching for so long, are you planning to pay an entrance fee or something?"
Golden Darkness had witnessed Shiro, who was like a demon from the abyss, or more precisely, she had witnessed the entire process. For example, someone had mysteriously been injured, and then after following those two people, Shiro had appeared. She would probably never forget that sight.
Then she watched as Shiro tortured those people. Honestly speaking, their screams were horrifying.
Golden Darkness herself was an experimental weapon created for warfare, but even she felt a little fear at that moment. Therefore, when she heard Shiro's voice, she instinctively moved away from him.
Golden Darkness made a huge leap directly from the rooftop, landing on the roof of another building. The very next moment, she discovered that someone was hugging her. Instinctively, she tried to break free, but unfortunately, a special force prevented her from transforming at that moment. She could only remain like an ordinary person.
"I told you, can you stop constantly fighting and killing? No matter how you look at it, since you lost to me, you're my little maid in a sense. Is it really necessary to try hitting your master every time you see him?"
Golden Darkness became furious when she heard that.
"You're my assassination target, nothing more."
After hearing those words, Shiro curled his lips.
"Alright."
"As for this, think whatever you want, but please keep today's events to yourself."
Golden Darkness fell silent after hearing that, then asked a question.
"Are you so angry because the princess was the target?"
Golden Darkness didn't quite understand. Although this person wasn't a good person, based on her observations, he always smiled regardless of the situation, even when other assassins were hunting him. This was the first time she had seen him angry.
She had to admit that expression was truly frightening.
"Mmm, that's certainly one of the reasons. Honestly speaking, you can cause me as much trouble as you want, but touching the people around me is something I won't allow."
"If you cause trouble for me, I can still smile and play with you. But if you cause trouble for the people around me, then I'm sorry. The people I consider 'mine' can be counted on the fingers of one hand compared to the enormous population of the entire universe."
"And if those people dare to do something like that or even have such intentions, then they must be prepared to face death."
Shiro stroked her hair as he spoke.
Golden Darkness still didn't understand after hearing that. Why did he allow others to try to kill him but not allow them to touch the people around him?
"Don't you care if someone tries to kill you? After all, it's your own safety that's at stake."
After hearing her words, instead of answering, Shiro asked a question.
"Do I really need to worry about my own safety? After all, those assassins aren't particularly frightening people. I'm just bored and passing the time, so why would I stop them?"
Shiro's words immediately stunned her, because she realized that he viewed assassination attempts against himself as nothing more than a game.
