Chapter 28 - Run for your Life

Due to the huge impact of the blast Rin was thrown way like an insect. He was swept away by the tremendous force to a distance from the site. Rin whole body was aching, he was at the verge of losing his consciousness but was too scared of losing his life that he forgot to think about his pain and quickly hid behind a large boulder.

His hands and feet were shaking with fear while the injuries from the blow instigated his pain, his body was severely wounded with blood gushing out from different parts of the body.

He gasped heavily trying to calm himself down while the monster's heavy footsteps caused a tremor on the ground. Rin put his hands on his mouth not to make a sound.

The monster shouted with his scary voice, making Rin's heart pound faster. He curled himself under the boulder but he was gasping heavily, the monster heard his breathe and marched to the other side of the boulder.

It forced it's monstrous hand inside the boulder, caught Rin by his neck by making a hole through the boulder.

The boulder got smashed into pieces and it held him in it's humongous clutches and in a split second threw him to the ground.

His body had already gave up but the fear of dying triggered his adrenaline. Rin mustered up his every little strength and crippled up only to fall on the ground again, while struggling to get back on his feet, his hands hit on something sharp.

He looked at it closely, It was a sword. He got up again with the sword in his hands not knowing what to do with it.

The monster roared once again and threw a lightning strike on him.

Finding himself in a pinch, his body acted upon itself and triggered his body reflexes. Rin raised the sword and put it in the front of him, covering himself with the sword. The lightning strike the sword and was reflected back. It was Rin's good luck or the monster bad luck that the lightning was reflected by a perfect angle hitting the monster's eyes.

The monster let out a huge groan as his eyes burned, blinding both of its eyes.

Now Rin was at a physically greater advantage but didn't have the wits to face the monster. He decided to run as far as he could.

After running a few hundred metres he fell on the ground. He had already used every single ounce of energy he had within him. Gasping heavily he got up and sat, leaning his back on a boulder.

Few minutes had passed since the monster has stopped groaning. It was unusually calm just like the silence before a storm. Rin felt like he was forgetting something. He had lost the memories of the time before got to this place.

"how did I end up here, in the middle of nowhere" Rin asked himself unable to figure out how he ended up in this situation.

As the time passed, the terror of the monster coming back grew more and more so putting aside all the problems, Rin tries to look for a way out of here.

Suddenly some images rolled before his eyes, those were the moments before he came to this place. He remembered all the things that happened back then. His dead brother was standing before him who took him to the lake and pushed in and then he was here with the monster.

Suddenly Rin hears someone calling his name, it was unexpected, even for him.

"Who was that? Nobody could be out here in this barren land. Definitely not someone who knows me"

The same thing happens again, someone starts calling out his name. The voice grew louder and louder as the person calling his name was nearing. The voice called out again but this time briefing his identity.

"Rin...….. Rin it's me..... Hey Rin"

A figure appeared, from the shadows of a huge boulderstone. It looked more of a human than a ugly beastly monster. It was a voice which he knows very clearly, better than any other out in the world."

"Roy….. is that you?"

Slowly he closes towards Rin, trying to get a hold of him.

"yes….. it's me, your brother"

Nearing toward Rin's voice, Roy comes more closer.

"were you the one at that time who brought me here? Wait…. How are you here? Aren't you supposed to be dead or in Orcus's prison."

"That's why I'm here, I need your help Rin to completely get free from his clutches"

"What about dad? Are we going to leave him there"

"um.... No….. no, of course not. I said Weeeee need your help to make us free from his clutches"

"How are gonna to do that, I mean he is the Demon lord and I haven't yet got any powers that can beat him"

Now he was only a metre far of a distance from Rin, still moving his hands aimlessly trying to get Rin.

At a distance so close, Rin finally got a chance to lay his on Roy.

"Hey…. What are you doing? Stop moving your hands."

"Because it's very dark in here, I can't see properly" Roy justified.

"Something feels off. Indeed it's dark in here but not so much that you won't be able to see where you are going."

Rin closes towards Roy face, after taking a good look, he notices that Roy's eyes have been burned.

"hey!! what the hell happened to your eyes?" shouts Rin as he takes a few steps back cautiously.

"nothing... it was just a small accident on the way here"

"It doesn't look like that. Are you certainly Roy?"

"Yes brother, I am Roy. Now come to me"

"you are not Roy, who are you and where is Roy? What happened to him?"

"I am Roy, your brother. Now hurry, come to me" his voice turns louder and heavy."

"I.... said….. coomme to meee" Roy roars in a deep voice.
