Chapter 28: Not Hero

Aldric clenched his fist, and soon, his dark aura seeped from his body, drowning everyone inside the castle.

"Y-Your Highness?" Lavena worriedly asked as she noticed the change in Aldric's aura.

She received no answer. But Aldric's shoulders began trembling, and then he broke out into laughter.

“Hahaha! Hahahaha! I-I can't believe this! Oh God! You must be real! Hahaha! Drake Skylark. You are still the same, even in this world. Yes! This is what I have been waiting! Finally, I can kill them!"

Aldric continued to laugh. He looked truly bizarre, his body twisting as he laughed wickedly, and his memories of him being cruelly bullied assaulted his mind.

The pain and anguish he felt—he felt it again like a raw wound being torn open once more.

In the depths of his mind, Aldric relived every taunt, every jeer, every cruel blow inflicted upon him by Drake and his classmates.

The humiliation, the despair, the rage—it all came rushing back.

His eyes reddened, and his aura blackened even more.
