Villain: The Play of Destiny Chapter 272

{Host, wake up!}

The System's voice buzzed in his head over and over again, and Mathew, who was sound asleep and having the most wonderful dream of his life, was a little mad at being disturbed. 

"Let me sleep!" He groaned and then turned to one side, smiling again.

{Host, wake up!} 

"L-let me sleep..." 

{Your Mysterious Pendant is gone!} The System loudly informed him.

"What?" Mathew, who half heard those words frowned a little in his sleep.

{Your mysterious pendant is gone!} The System screamed again, and the Child of Destiny finally opened his eyes, resulting in a wave of dizziness hitting him. 

Even though he was not fully awake, he realised that something was wrong with him. 

{You have a Happy Sleep Potion in your system, Host.} 

"What is that?"

{It is a Potion that gives a person a sound and deep sleep and helps them recover from mental and physical fatigue, and at the same time, cures minor health issues.} 

"That's a good thing, no?" He frowned. 

{Which was why the System failed to detect it when you consumed it. The System is not supposed to interfere when something good happens to the Host...} 

"Where did it come from?" 

{That's the issue, Host. It is not supposed to be present in this world and only an Earth-Grade or higher-ranked Alchemist can create it.} 

A sense of dread finally washed over him and Mathew immediately looked down at his chest and checked his neck. 

"The pendant..." 

{Your Butler Albert came into the room 27 minutes ago and took it.} 

"What?" He was confused and got up from the bed, only to stagger as another wave of dizziness washed over him. 

{The System is helping you clear the Happy Sleep Potion, Host. Please wait.} 

"Why did you wake me up so late?" 

{You were in a very deep sleep, Host. The System has been trying to wake you up, but the safest way was to listen to the System and wake up on your own. Otherwise, any forceful method to wake you up would have left a trauma...} 

"You are useless!" Mathew screamed again, and this time, the System did not go on defence.

It was indeed a low-level System.

{Host. The Ensnaring Perfume's hold on Valaena Ford ended 2 minutes ago.}

"What?" 

{It is only possible if an Antidote has been administered or she's dead.}

A dreadful feeling clutched his heart all of a sudden, and Mathew rushed out of his room as fast as he could, using the wall for support. 

By the time he reached the room where Valaena and Stella were staying, he heard a couple moaning and grunting as they indulged in ecstasy, and his feet went cold. 

He recognised the voice. He was all too familiar with it, and with great effort, he reached for the door, but it was locked. 

"Stella!" He shouted and then tackled the door, trying to forcefully open it, but it seemed to be shut a little too tightly. 

In his rage, he hammered his kicks on the door, and tears had already started leaking out of his eyes because he kept hearing the girl screaming in ecstasy. 

"Stella!" He called out her name in rage and managed to burst the door open, sending the table that was placed to block it crash into the bed. 

However, his intrusion seemed to not affect the three naked bodies that were indulging in their carnal pleasure. They just kept going at it. 

The scene was something that would have surely ignited a fire in his loins if the people on the bed were unfamiliar to him or did not matter to him, but he was very familiar with these three. 

"Albert..." He called out the name of the old man in disbelief, who was ravaging the insides of his Fiancée with youthful vigour.

"C- ome, Young Master. Join us! She's a bitch in heat and I am afraid I can not satisfy her alone..." Albert grunted as he kept thrusting, and then kissed the eager Valaena, who had her arms folded around his neck and was pressing her nakedness on his skin. 

Those words coupled with that scene broke him, and a mournful cry escaped his life. 

Valaena finally paid some attention to him and grinned as she gingerly got off the bed and walked over with Albert's cum dripping down her thighs.

"Come, son, show your Mother-in-law what you are packing down there..." She seductively whispered near his ear and grabbed his crotch, lightly squeezing and teasing it. 

Against all his efforts, and whatever he was going through, Mathew found himself getting hard down there, and rage bubbled up in his heart. 

Something inside of then broke at that moment, and Unbeknownst to him, his Fate Value started sharply falling. 

{Host, there is something wrong with these three...} 

Mathew ignored what the System said and summoned his Flame Dagger before burying it into the head of the woman who was working on undoing his pyjamas. 

"I will kill you!" He growled and rushed at the two people on the bed, and Albert finally reacted by quickly getting out of Stella and blocking the Slash with his Aurcovered arms. 

But to his dismay, the Dagger cut right through his defence and then cut his arm cleanly too. 

However, the old man did not cry in pain and instead buried his safe hand into the face of his Young Master, sending him crashing into the side wall. 

He wanted to rush forward to end the job, but Albert found out that his insides were on fire, and he fell to his knees before landing face-first on the floor and taking his last breath. 

"Ahhhh!!!" Stella's heart-wrenching scream sounded out and then she immediately rushed at Mathew, intending to kill him with her powerless fists. 

"Bitch!" Mathew ignored the pain from Albert's punch and buried his Dagger into the chest of the blonde. "Go to hell!" He shouted at her as she dropped down, and then pulled his Dagger out, staring at her corpse. 

Mathew stood there for a good few minutes until his mind calmed down, and as he looked at the corpses of the three, where smoke was coming off their bodies, he finally felt hollow in his heart. 

He suddenly recalled the System's words that something was wrong with the three of them, and now he truly hoped that it was mistaken and these three really betrayed him so that he could curb the pain and guilt in his heart, but it only ended up aggravating them as he realised he had made a terrible mistake. 

{Host, run!} 

The System suddenly shouted in his mind, breaking him out of his grief, and he heard the sound of someone giggling in amusement. 

Mathew looked to his left and found a girl in all black standing on the other side of the bed, clapping happily. 

"Thank you for the show! I loved it!" She gleefully said, and he dumbly stared at her. 

"Who are you?" He subconsciously asked, but instead of receiving an answer, he saw the girl rushing at him with a malevolent grey Aura surrounding her body. 

He raised his Dagger in defence, but the girl seemed to be aware of its danger as she changed the trajectory of her fist, unceremoniously landing it on his lower body, breaking through his Aura defence and turning him into a eunuch. 

Mathew's breath got stuck in his throat as an immense pain, something far greater than he had experienced in his life, jolted his mind, but just as soon as it had come, it numbed down as well when his mind failed to process it.

It was only after his face landed on the cold floor that he screamed, and he screamed like an animal that was being sacrificed, knowing well that he was no longer a man. 

"Ahhhh!!!!" 

"You are already screaming like girls." The girl picked up the Dagger from the ground and carefully inspected it. 

It was the Dagger that Mathew had just dropped. 

"So it burns the body from the inside when it lands a cut? Scary..." 

Mathew's mind was no longer paying any attention to her words. 

His remaining focus and hope were on the System's voice. 

{The Host is in grave danger with the possibility of survival nearly 0%....}

{The System is initiating a Life-Saving mechanism in five seconds...}

{4}

{3}

It was the last thing in his life that Mathew heard before his head was cleanly separated from his body. 

He was not the only one who had heard the System's prompt. And the one who wanted to kill him did not wish to let him live another day. 

"I wanted to kill him, Senpai!" The girl complained when she looked at the amethyst Aura Blade in her companion's right hand. 

However, her eyes widened in disbelief when the man suddenly poked her neck, and then her eyes closed as she fell unconscious, but her body never touched the ground as it simply floated in the air.

{Mathew Frost, the Child of Destiny has been eliminated. 1250 Fate Value had been plundered.}

Ignoring the System Prompt, Keith kneeled next to Mathew's Corpse.

{Congratulations Host! You have completed Main Quest 3. Rewards: 100,000 System Points. 15,000 System Experience.}

{The final reward of the Quest is being processed...}

An Orb of white light floated out of Mathew's chest, and Keith immediately grabbed it before putting it inside the System Inventory. 

The only reward he was truly interested in was The Blank Physique, and now he had it in his possession.

After he was done, he unleashed a sea of darkness in the room, and all four corpses were slowly devoured by it, leaving no signs of them behind and not even a speck of their blood.
