Chapter 49 - CHAPTER 49: VITAL POWER (NEW EDITION)

On the route closest to NANEKI is the highest concentration of evil and mutated beings, so, they must decide whether to deviate along a less dangerous path that would take them a few more months or take the path of battle.

It is a unanimous decision, everyone wants to put an end to this as soon as possible.

They all carry a burden of their past that is attached to AISU in some way and with the evil of the world.

They do not want to put it off any longer, although they are not sure if they will be able to achieve it, at least they will try, it is a one-way journey with no apparent return.

In the passing of the mountains in which, there is less and less vegetation, mutations of common animals appear that have been infected by a seemingly evil power and attack with ferocity in various places.

They even violate their customs.

The nocturnal ones are now able to leave during the day, adding danger to the crossing.

They have been fighting for days, the evil ones are no longer mercenaries, as they advance between the mountains, the groups that confront them possess magical knowledge with the use of the elements.

Some of the times they have difficulty stopping the attacks of the elements.

This has forced them to make WAPURO, ESU and KEKI the main ones to create shields or end up with a powerful spell that leaves them exhausted... have noticed something alarming... KEKI has been cultivating his power to a dangerous level.

When he surpasses what his very consciousness allows him to control.

Power gets out of control and the attack is scattered over a larger radius.

Also worrying is that, it consumes too much energy.

What they don't know, except WAPURO, is that, it's KEKI's life that escapes their hands.

Such consternation of WAPURO has sown doubt in INKU who, as much as possible, tries to get KEKI to be forced to use its magic.

He doesn't know the reason, he just knows that WAPURO wouldn't take something lightly.

Plan to ask him as soon as he has the opportunity.

The power of the evil ones has been increasing as they progress, although the quantity is scarce.

As they pass through the evil barrier, they reach a new barrier composed of sorcerers.

This is where KEKI makes a terrible discovery.

This barrier is composed of CHOSEN sorcerers, controlled by AISU.

Each and every one of them, are the ones who for hundreds of years marched to fight against AISU, many of them, KEKI knows them.

She watched them leave since she was a child, with no return.

The group is worried, they have not had time to rest properly for more than two hours straight.

They're tired.

It is a large group that surrounds them.

The group flips in all directions to cover their backs.

It's getting dark.

All with their various concerns.

All are attacked by various forms of power.

Some physical, some of the elements.

UISUKII AND KIRO are concerned about the safety of the princesses.

NAIFU AND NEMU, are ready to face whatever fate holds, there is no fear in their heart.

WAPURO is very tense, she knows the secret of KEKI.

She knows that today is the last day KEKI possesses her enormous power, which is killing her.

Although, its appearance looks normal, although a little deteriorated.

The inside of his body is torn to pieces by the amount of power he has let out.

The packaging is too small for the contents.

ESU, who has overcome his fears, struggles to try to save his friends, struggling, even though he feels his bones are about to break and his blood burns.

OKE, not afraid of death, she just wants to end all the evil that has hurt her all her life and the one that took away her father.

He strives to protect INKU as best he can, he lost his father, he doesn't want to lose him too.

INKU is pressured by the security of KEKI, ESU and OKE.

He knows that WAPURO and the others are in a better position.

He knows he's strong, but, he feels the disadvantage of occasionally covering ESU, who doesn't have much experience in battle.

OKE, is very agile and strong, knows that, without him, she emerges victorious from many difficulties, it is only that... he cares, he cares a lot.

And KEKI, there's something strange about her these last 14 days.

His power seems to break boundaries and with it his body.

He doesn't know if anyone else has noticed, but, he's seen her spitting blood a few times after an uncontrolled attack.

Like when the barrel of a gun fractures when a bullet comes out that's not for that weapon.

TOIRE, feels the responsibility to take care of the whole group.

So, he gets closer to whoever has less defense, stays with ESU, thus relieving the burden on INKU.

They're so married that, there's not much they can resist.

Of all the sorcerers, there is one especially strong, they lie on the ground... INKU, KIRO, OKE, NEMU, NAIFU, UISUKII, AND WAPURO is assaulting ESU while fighting TOIRE.

KEKI, who is being hunted down by evil ones, tries to keep dodging attacks, his body moves awkwardly through exhaustion and ends up falling to his knees.

At this time 14 days ago.

She lost her star by accepting the love she feels for TOIRE, which goes against her birth nature.

The feeling of fatigue, cold and thirst invades KEKI's body, she begins to cough, she can't help but spit blood in front of the others, they are very shocked by this discovery, KEKI feels her eyes clouded and when she abandons her strength, she cannot help but fall to the ground.

KEKI knows he no longer has power.

CHOSEN's rule is that no sorcerer who owns a star should ever fall in love.

His religion demanded total surrender.

As she was 14 years old, by accepting TOIRE's love, she lost her star in 14 days.

The battle continues, with TOIRE fighting, the others trying to get up and try to get to KEKI, who lies on the ground, motionless, seeing everything, full of helplessness.

TOIRE, you don't know what's going on with KEKI, but if you know one thing, somehow, it's your fault.

Little by little the tears are creeped through his pupils, his heart is racing, this is all he hears, he no longer hears the screams or the fight.

Its view is cloudy.

Soon after, the strongest sorcerer, feels a strong presence, comes from KEKI's body.

It is an overwhelming presence that causes him fear and not just him.

Everyone present, even those who are not susceptible to perceiving, can feel it.
