Idle Money System

Chapter 61

Since he was on the front lines, the beasts he was vanquishing were only the ones in front of him. The increased stats caused by his skill were overwhelming. The power released from his blow hit the bear, but this time, it didn't cave in.

The blow hitting its chest felt like it had been hit by a sniper, but with a larger bullet. Half of its body was blown to pieces from the impact. The werebear died as it fell back.

Alexander's smile glinted maliciously, his bloodlust surging. He laughed with every disappearance and reappearance, striking down a beast every second. Different races of creatures fell before him, each death fueling his bloodlust.

...

A bunch of notifications echoed with every movement, a clear soundtrack to his rampage. He was like the reaper, taking souls, but in reverse, a bringer of death instead of a collector.

His eyes turned crimson in that is even redder than blood, his clothes was full of bloodstains.

[You Just Leveled Up]

The system's notification sounded again he ignored this, lost in the whirlwind of his fury. While he held the front line, the villagers, huddled in the center, were defenseless.

Seizing their chance, the beasts surged forward. A silver wolf's snapping jaws caught a villager who was running towards the gathering crowd.

"Ahhh! Help!" he cried, his leg was being ripped off.

Blood splattered across the ground. His face was pale as sheet of paper, but no villagers came to help, because they were paralyzed by fear.

The man who had already accepted his fate, closed his eyes, overwhelmed by pain. Suddenly, a footstep sounded, followed by a woman's shout.

The woman smashed the head of the silver wolf, who was munching on the man's leg, with a wooden table. Her strength was weak, making the beast only backed off, growling angrily towards her.

It gazed at her with its crimson blood eyes, filled with killing intent. It then pounced towards her, but was stopped in mid-air. The silver wolf looked behind, seeing that his leg was being held by the man he had just injured.

"Aeloria, thank you very much for your help. But I don't want you to risk your life, for this useless life of mine," the man gritted his teeth, his voice filled with a strong will.

Even though he was lying on the ground, he pulled the wolf towards him, hammering its head with a with his fist which is literally weak since he was injured.

*Bonk

"Aeloria, what are you dozing off for? Run!" the man shouted, holding the beast in its two legs.

The silver wolf was stunned, seeing that a human dared to hit him with his weak hands. It was a disgrace to him, a silver wolf. They were a race of high pride, even though he was hypnotized the anger in his heart were burning with fury.

The wolf snarled, baring its teeth towards the man. It growled and looked back, biting the man in the neck. The man just looked at Aeloria with a smile on his face as he puked a lot of blood.

"Uncle Barry," she shouted, slumping back to the ground, kneeling.

Tears streamed down in her face as she watched the wolf devour the man. The man wasn't just anyone, he was more special since he was the one who always came to her house to warn her about the beast attacks, and also.

He had always been kind to her, treating her like a little sister, "Uncle Barry, why are you so good to me? We're not even family. I'm curious—do you like me?" Aerolia asked.

She was only around 13 or 14 at this time, as she was getting a flashback. The young man, who looked about 18, laughed and almost choked.

"Aeloria, what are you thinking? I'm not interested in kids! Besides, you just remind me of someone I love a family of mine, you could say," he replied, his smile tinged with sadness.

Her eyes widened as she stepped closer besides him and looked up at him, "Really, Uncle? Who was that person who looks like me?" she asked, her voice was flat.

Barry felt emotional all of a sudden as his eyes steeled red, "Actually its my little sister, she was just like you a happy person, kind, and very helpful. Just by seeing her everyday I felt that the tiredness and hardship of life was nothing. But-" he stopped with his eyes turned watery looking at the horizons.

Aerolia was confused why he suddenly stopped, "But what uncle?" she asked full of question.

"She died when I was away hunting for food," Barry said, his voice trembling.

"A small beast attacked, and she was alone at that time. I can't stop imagining her calling for me, but I wasn't there, Aerolia. Her big brother wasn't there when she needed me the most." He could no longer hold back his emotions, and they poured out.

"I can't help but think of the pain she went through. Her organs were eaten, her left arm was gone, and she only had one leg left. The living room was in ruins, her blood was everywhere when I came back. Her eyes stared lifelessly at the ceiling. As her brother, how do I deserve to live after seeing her die like that, right in front of me?" he said, his voice breaking.

"At that time, I've been thinking of suicide ever since I lost the will to live. So, I tried to find the beast who killed her and avenge her spirit, but I didn't find it. I was about to kill myself after a few weeks she died, but then I saw you," he said with a smile, his heart slowly healing.

"You're just like her. You were like the same person, your personality, it's really the same as hers. Because of you, I get to live this long. So, Aeloria, can you become my little sister?" Barry said with a smile, looking at her.

Seeing his saddened face and the way he cried made her sad for a moment, but hearing that she was the reason for him to live made her happy.

"I would be happy to, big brother Barry," Aeloria replied, with her two dimples on her cheeks popping up.

Barry smiled and replied, "Just call me Uncle Barry from now on, since I've already gotten the hang of it. Ahahaha," he laughed at the end.

This time, the tears that slid down his face were not sadness but pure joy. And now looking at the person who she was referring to as a brother, being ravaged by the beast made her frozen not accepting it.

Barry, who was being eaten alive in his consciousness, he felt his heart, which had been in turmoil for a long time, calm down.

"This time I will try to protect you, since I couldn't protect my very own sister," he mumbled as his spirit disappeared.

His spirit was supposed to go through the process of reincarnation, but he felt a strong suction force pulling him towards something. He couldn't resist as he was pulled strongly to the center of the village.

The rock, embedded with a red gem, was glowing strongly in response to his spirit. His soul was then absorbed by that jewel, being condensed into something. Not only him but also the dead beast spirits were getting absorbed.

When he was condensed into energy, the pain he felt was 100 times more painful than being eaten alive. But he didn't care, as his heart finally in peace, knowing that no one was going to die because of him, especially his little sister.

If you want to know why, he took a deep glance at the spot where Aeloria was limping on the ground, shedding tears, as the wolf was done with its meal. It also wanted to ravage Aeloria.

"Big sister, noo!" Anya shouted, tears pouring down her face, as she was being held by the villagers to keep her from getting involved.

When the silver wolf was just an inch away from her face, filled with tears, she wasn't afraid. The pain of losing someone was much more painful than being eaten alive by this beast.

Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared in front of her as a strong hand held the beast that was in mid-air by its neck, stopping it. The man's gaze was blood crimson, as he looked at it filled with killing intent burning in his eyes.

He threw the beast up as he punched its abdomen, making it fly high like a butterfly, being shot into the sky.

The beast growled in pain as it flew more than 50 meters in the sky before it could land toward Alexander's face. He whipped a kick, making it hit the tree.

Breaking its bones in the process of those two strikes, Alexander hurriedly helped Aeloria stand up, where she hugged him in return. Barry, seeing this, just smiled peacefully as his soul was fully condensed into energy.

"I hope you take care of her Alex," Barry said his final words, as he disappeared.

"Alex, *sob my big brother was dead. It's all because of me. It's all my fault," she grimaced, her face pressed against his broad chest. She was too weak to help, she blamed her self from being too weak.

Alexander just hugged her around the waist, patting her head to comfort her. His mind didn't wander towards anything perverted, as his face was very serious this time.

"Aeloria, it's not your fault. Don't ever blame yourself. I saw what happened. Can't you see that he was very happy when he saved you just now? So, snap out of it. You go ahead and protect Anya.

Look, she's crying needing you the most right now," Alexander exclaimed, mentioning Anya.

She looked behind and saw that Anya was shedding tears looking at her. But was being stopped by the villagers, "Anya now needs you the most, so go ahead and be there with her. For your big brother! Don't worry let me handle this, I'm very sorry for coming late" Alexander said as their face was just inches apart.

He extended both of his hands to her cheeks, brushing them with his finger to wipe away her tears.

Aeloria then started to feel better as she put her face in his broad chest and mumbled in a low voice.

"Be careful," she said, escaping from his embrace, running towards Anya, hugging her to stop her cries.

Seeing her shedding tears, the resentment in his heart turned colder, it was like a flamethrower that cannot be extinguished at all. Suddenly, a red glowing sword appeared in his hands.

[Berserker Instinct: Power increased by 50%.]

With the sword in his hands, the aura surrounding him was like death itself. The endless killing intent that surrounded him was like sharp blades.

The beasts, who were hypnotized, slowed down as an enormous pressure seemed to be pushing them down.
