Chapter 4 - Personality switched

Basically what the title says

Chapter 3

Ley attacked while using many of spells and fighting techniques he had gathered using his master class fighter skill, which comes under authority of gluttony. It allows him to gain all the skills and abilities of the people whose soul had been gobbled up by him. But all of his attacks were up to no good as Subaru countered every one of them. If it had been old Subaru he must have been shredded to pieces by now, but this power was something else. No, he was someone else. His consciousness had left him, and replaced it with something sinister, someone who would carnage any entity near him if he did the slightest thing to make him mad. During one of his fast paced attacks, Ley jumped high and raised his left leg high. Subaru dodged it by jumping back a bit. The ground tore up and formed into a crater where Ley's legs had collided. Subaru had a grin of pure malice, when he dashed towards Ley. Roy tried to intervene but Subaru's hard blow sent him flying a good distance. Ley was too crucified to move, and so Subaru hit him hard on the stomach with his right hand that began to glow with fire appearing on them out of nowhere. This was the case with his left hand too. Subaru grabbed Ley's face and hit it hard on the ground and began to beat him mercilessly with a barrage of punches. Seeing the condition of Ley, Roy decided to use Lunar Eclipse, a trump card ability of his. There was no other way. The scenario didn't turned out to be the way they had planned. They used to enjoy this with other strong warriors and mages, but they knew they just had to play until they succumb to their tiredness. That was the end. Playtime's over, toys should be dealt with. This time though, after so many years they were afraid of somebody and that too, of someone whom they thought they could finish off by the snap of their fingers. The lunar eclipse had begun to take a toll on Roy's body. Ley and he both couldn't handle that ability perfectly. Ley was unconscious, his face battered beyond recognition. Roy sneaked behind Subaru. He didn't notice that Subaru's ears had turned a little to his back. "I have begun to like this game" Subaru smirked. Roy raised his fist high and bolted towards Subaru, his right hand targeted on the head of his enemy. As he was about to collide, Subaru dodged and sallied left. Another crater was formed when Roy's hand accidently hit the ground. Subaru kicked his shin, which caught him off guard and made Roy vulnerable to attacks. Subaru's three thorns; one on his head, and two on his either shoulders began to glow as a tornado of fire began to swivel around him; all the time his mind chanted "This is fun, so much fun. I haven't felt so powerful in decades. I can do anything…" and he laughed hysterically. Roy stood up still trying to endure the pain by releasing some of the souls of people he had ate. The sight he saw in front stupefied him beyond words. He couldn't make a head or tail of the situation. He could see the same madness in Subaru's eyes as them, when they played with their prey. He rushed to Ley and straddled him on his shoulders and began to storm out of Subaru's vision. But they failed to see a huge glob of fire that had formed above them. Subaru struck his hands down with a pose like Ben 10 does when he jumps from a high point in the sky and yet survives. He remembered some mundane things from his consciousness. The glob of fire rocketed towards them. Ley stopped in his tracks. The grounds had suddenly begun to radiate, he looked back and gasped in surprise and fear. The glob struck them down, and a huge explosion was heard and the smoke that came of it could be heard miles away.

Subaru went to see their corpses but found them still alive. Although their mana was too depleted for them to move any part of their body. Subaru kicked their bodies a few more times. "F**k you…I need something else to play with" he turned back and the same smile full of pure malice came once again when he looked at a pink haired girl clad in maid suit slowly standing up and another figure beside her. A well-built man with long indigo hair and dissimilar coloured eyes, Roswall had healed Ram to a point where she could move her body. Somewhere Subaru could sense him as someone familiar but those thoughts were struck down with his malicious thoughts of carnage and destruction. He rushed forward towards Roswall. "Hey what are you doing?" Ram yelled, her voice no longer had that cold demur, but it was sweet…as sweet as someone who is the embodiment of melody herself, but Subaru paid no heed, too focused on his own temporary infantile ambitions of tyranny and his hands began to radiate once again as he made his way for Roswall's face who stood with an innocent yet intimidating look which acted as an aphrodisiac for Subaru's lust of death and destruction.

"Demons are thought as terrifying beings who brings death and destruction wherever they go"

Rem had once told him

Rosawall mysteriously disappeared. Subaru was looking here and there for his intimidating prey that looked no better than a clown or jester. His irrational brain failed to notice the greatest magician of lugnica was floating above him. Roswaal called out the spirits of six elements that formed a circle around him and he chanted something. A shiny light structured like a spear formed in air and hit Subaru on his biggest horn, the one protruding out of his head. Subaru stumbled a bit and looked above ferociously. Ram was tensed and she was as confused as a child who has been told to study trigonometry in first grade, "Why does he has horn? No, why does he have horns? Is he like me?"

Subaru made a leap in air with a plan in his mind. He would punch him like Ley until he lost all his senses. But before he could even lay a scratch on him, Roswaal pointed his hands in front and whispered something. Subaru's entire body began to jerk, he felt pain with so much intensity like he has been struck with lightning, a thousand times. His body convulsed into a ball and he fell down, but there was no end to the pain. The horns began to shrink and slowly darkness began to engulf him. The lost consciousness was back. "WHY?" was all he could think before diving into the pool of numbness and then he passed out, before trying to make a sense of why would Roswaal hurt him and Ram, How could she support him? What has he done?

"My dear Ram, are you all right?" Roswaal asked, in a concerned tone.

"Yes. I am all right but…" she said with the same innocently sweet voice "Who are you?" It was true. Except her name, she couldn't remember anything. Why was she here? Who are all these people lying whipped out? What is her past? And why does she feel so weak. With all those thoughts bouncing into her already battered mind, one after another drained all her mana out of her and she too passed out.

Rosawaal scratched his head "This couuuld bee a problem". Patrasche arrived along with Emilia and Rem, who too were surprised by the scenario that presented itself on the plains. Roswaal tried to explain Subaru's condition as hard as he could. Rem hugged Subaru like he was about to die and didn't left his hand till they reached the mansion. Emilia couldn't understand why would Rem care so much for Subaru? She knew her duties as a maid and all but this was something different? "Will anyone give us some water atleast?" said a short boy with a long dark brown hair that extended to his thighs. Ley and Roy too were in the carriage chained with a rope with a magical enchantment on it, so that they can't escape.

Beside these things Emilia and Rem had asked the same question regarding the pink haired maid "What the hell has happened to Ram, Why didn't she recognize you?" to which Roswaal had no answers.

"She will remember me, I am her sister. Nee-sama…Please wake up" Rem prayed with her hand on her chest.
