Evolution begins with an ant colony

Chapter 102 Pain And Reunion: The Enslavement Of A Hero

Back in the depths of the god forsaken forest, Evan's eyes widened with disbelief as the harsh reality began to sink in. He laid there in chains, his body trembling, and his voice quivered as he whispered in utter astonishment, "No... No, it can't be... Akun, is that you?"

A sinister smile crept onto Akun's lips, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. It was a chilling expression that sent a shiver down Evan's spine. "In the flesh, Evan," he declared with a wicked satisfaction, his voice dripping with menace.

Evan's eyes remained wide, struggling to comprehend the presence of the man who once had been his friend. His voice trembled as he continued, "Impossible... Didn't you get sent home by the goddess?" The shock was palpable in his words, unable to reconcile the dramatic transformation in Akun's appearance and demeanor.

Before him, the figure that had once been a timid and unassuming presence bore little resemblance. Akun's body language exuded an air of confidence and intrigue that was utterly absent in his previous self. Evan couldn't help but be struck by the stark difference, both in Akun's appearance and the aura he now projected.

"What happened to you?" Evan questioned, his curiosity tinged with unease. The metamorphosis of Akun's demeanor and appearance was impossible to ignore.

Meanwhile, Darius, observing Evan and Akun's exchange with keen interest, couldn't resist his curiosity. "Hey, Kalardix... Are Master and the hero acquainted?" he asked, seeking clarity amidst the enigmatic encounter.

Kalardix's thoughtful expression revealed little certainty. "Honestly, I don't know," he admitted. "But what I do know is that Father wants to make him suffer because of something."

Evan's voice quivered with a mixture of emotions, most notably disbelief. Tears welled up in his eyes as he attempted to grasp the situation. "You look completely different," he mumbled, the weight of astonishment heavy in his words.

He meticulously examined every aspect of Akun's altered appearance, from the silver hair to the piercing purple eyes, the transformation of his face, and even the change in his height. It was as if Akun had undergone a complete metamorphosis, emerging as an entirely different person. Experience tales at empire

Tears welled up in Evan's eyes as he sobbed, his voice choked with regret and fear. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me..." he pleaded, his words tinged with desperation.

Akun's grip on Evan's neck tightened, and his eyes bore into Evan's with a cold, unforgiving intensity. "I asked you if you know why this is happening," he reiterated, his voice devoid of any warmth.

Evan's voice trembled as he stammered out his confession, guilt weighing heavily on his heart. "I... I abandoned you, Akun," he admitted, tears streaming down his face. "When Ken and the others cast you out, I... I didn't want to become a target... I wanted a normal life."

The word 'disgusting' escaped Akun's lips with disdain, and he cut Evan off without a hint of sympathy. "People who abandon others just to save their own skin," he began, his voice dripping with contempt, "they truly disgust me."

Evan's pleas for forgiveness grew weaker as Akun's grip tightened, making it increasingly difficult for him to speak or even breathe. The reality of his actions weighed on him, and he could only mutter, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." as he struggled to maintain consciousness.

In a fit of anger, Akun released his grip on Evan, sending him crashing to the ground. Frustration seethed within him as he muttered with an edge of rage, "This is so annoying. I don't even know what to do with you."

Evan, bruised and battered, began to express his gratitude, tears streaming down his reddened cheeks as he cried out, "Thank you, Akun. I'm really sorry for what I did."

Akun's expression remained stern, his decision firm. "I won't just let you go, either." With deliberate intention, he raised his hand, uttering a command in a tone that brooked no argument. "Activate Taming."

(A/N: you all don't have to worry, the rest of Akun's classmates will be receiving his iron fist, he only spread Evan because they were best friends before he started getting bullied. And besides Evan already wanted to repent for it... so... case closed don't judge me)
