*reader's discretion alert, gore and disturbing scenes.
31st October
"Ah! I can't believe I have to get into this nasty place again!" "Stop complaining, it's the detailed and perfect plan you have made by yourself." "Chris, can I change the plan now, I really hate this place." "Shut your mouth up and keep going." "Chris, I hate you…" "Haha…" Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from nearby. "Ah! Never thought we will ever to meet each other again, Your Majesty."
Then they saw Number Four a few meters away from them, collecting a dead cascade of an unknown creature… "Oh? Could you at any point think that I should have died from the incident last year?" Chris replies with a gentle yet sarcastic smile while Sky is totally disgusted by the awful sight. "Haha! That's such nonsense, Your Majesty, if that could successfully kill you, I wouldn't have to stay in this place and do such a thing like this right?" Number four lift up and shows Chris the cascade.
"Ha! So you do intend to destroy me huh? But then I wonder if I should be glad or what for you to come up with this brilliant strategy huh?" "Ah~~! Too bad the one I did last year is just an experiment, but it seems like the experiment last year has given you quite a damage huh? Your Majesty. So did you intend to stop me, Your Majesty? Or do you want to be the subject for this year's experiment on the Forbidden Death Curse?" "For you to take away the existence of all those innocent children just to activate that forbidden curse…Did you hate me this much?" Chris seems a little bit depressed.
"Who knows? After all you the one the erase my existence and took away my everything in the first place." "Is that so… Now come to think of it, ever since that incident, I haven't given you a proper apology, I'm sorry…" "Chris, there is no need to apologizes, you are not the one to be blamed, it's his own deed that's caused this result." "No… don't get me wrong, I never blame myself for that, he deserve what he should, I never feel wrong for what I have done, I apologize just because I'm not going to apologize for what I did." " Uh…that's quite a dark side of you..." "Eh? That's considered as dark? So would it be better if we told him our plan…" "No. That is even darker…"…
After some pointless 'discussion' between Sky and Chris, the real 'big event' is about to take place. Ignored by those two, Number Four starts ripping off the skin from the head of that cascade, which starts gaining the attention of the duo, then he spoke. "Ah… Since today is Halloween day, it will be quite boring if I just do this in a normal manner, so let's have a costume party shall we?" Saying this, Number Four place the bloody and semi rotten skin on his face as a mask… "Your Majesty, Vlansky-sama, have you guys ever wonder if Immortals are really undead and will never die no matter what happens? It's time to break this mystery, as the preparation for the absolute death curse has complete! And the target is you! Your Majesty! Prepare for the worst." said Number Four with a distorted look.
"Uh…actually, the curse is not fully completed yet, as among all the children you have taken just now, there is an individual that's is not supposed to exist from the beginning… according to my calculation, I have estimated the range you are going to attack, so I secretly placed an 'extra' being in the crowd and never thought that you actually choose that 'being' as your subject." said Chris. "As expect from the King of the Kingdom, but then I guess you have miscalculated some important point…" said Number Four. "Hmm?" "Even with an incomplete curse, it still can give you a big damage, right? With that damage and your body condition right now, I could destroy you easily. Even if Vlansky-sama is at your side, right? Vlans… (!) …" Number Four is shocked as those two are extremely calm even in this dire situation.
"Ah! You finally notice something's wrong huh? Do you even think that I would let Chris came here without any preparation? Ha! You have underestimated me!" saying this Sky swing his hand through Chris's body which it easily passes through as if Chris is just an image projection…
"At first I thought it would be okay if I let him tagged along, but then after I carefully thought for a while, I decided to let him join me in his mind projection mode, and if you think to launch an attack on his mind like what you did last time, he is well protected by another expert in this field, you should know who that person is." "Yes… Sky, that's really mean, you promised to bring me along!" "I did!... Number Four, just now, if you decide to attack me instead of Chris, you might have succeed and will be able to keep your own life. Chris and I have decided that if you not going to target Chris anymore, we will let you go, but if you choose to kill Chris no matter what, we will give an end to you for good…" said Sky with a murderous look.
"That's a shock, should never underestimate you, Master Vlansky. But is it even possible to end me? *sarcastic*….(!)…What?!" Number Four tried to sneak away as he doesn't intend to fight Sky, probably because he knows he is no match to Sky, but found out he could hardly even move his body as Chris has put on a strong binding spell on him. "For your information, Immortal could die, it's just that no one will ever remember them if they ever died, their existence will totally gone along with their death, which means even if we do have successfully killed some Immortal before, but we will not be able to remember it… Well… we just discovered this recently from the incident that put Chris into a hundred years of hibernation …" said Sky. "What do you mean by that? I never heard that before." said Number 4. "And from that incident, I somewhat figured up the method to kill an Immortal. Chris, I'm sorry, I can't let you see this… so…" Sky cast a spell on Chris and Chris disappeared…
*note: Mind Projection is a magic that can separate your body and mind, usually an individual could hardly do anything in the mind projection state. Chris is a special case as he possessed an enormous amount of magic which allowed him to cast a spell even in that state.
Later, in a room, Chris's unconscious body can be seen, embraced by a pretty lady on a bed. (Don't think of any naughty matter). The lady stares at Chris, worried. Suddenly Chris opened his eyes, the lady gives a gentle smile said: "Welcome back, Your Majesty." "Ah…Rei, I'm back." Chris replies with a clumsy manner (Cute!!!). "Your Majesty, how are you feeling right now? Any discomfort?" Said Rei while putting her hand on Chris's face. "Uh… Not really…It's just that I seem to forgotten something… something important, what was it?" "Uhm… Is it about today's special Halloween event?" "Ah! That's right! I have to attend the opening ceremony!" "I have prepared everything you need for that, that's including your Halloween costume. And there is still a few hours before the event, anything would you like to do?" "Umm… I'm quite tired from today's mess, so is it okay for me to take a nap before the event?" "It's okay, don't worry, I'll be at your side when you are napping Your Majesty." "Thank you, Rei."…
Epilogue
A few days later, Chris's office... "Chris, look at this photo! You look so cute dressing as a princess, I can't you believe you can actually accept that as your Halloween costume." "Don't mention it again, Baka Sora... Anyway, how's that incident goes, have you solve it yet?" "Uh... More or less... Haha!" "Hmm...Can't imagine that you have such a soft side." "Not that I'm soft or what, just that I don't feel like wanting to destroy him twice, that's all." "As I said, I'm the one that will bear the responsibility." "Aww~Chris~ You are so sweet!!!" " "Uh..."
