"Me? Out of all people me? How am I supposed to even die? hehehe." Belgis chuckled
I can't move my legs are stuck in place, why did I have to meet this nightmare of a person....what did I do to deserve this...I questioned myself, how did my whole life lead me to this point of grief and sadness, what did I even do...
[Crap, the kid is breaking...Zeichi, we need to do something!]
[This ain't a good situation at all, I can't think of anything to do]
"Taaaaaruuuuuuuuuuuuuus, what's with the hilarious face? Did something happen?"
"Hey! Stop bothering him!"
"Pick on someone on your own size, old man!"
"Oh....we got some brave kids here.....hehehehehehe!"
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THEM...I'M WARNING YOU BELGIS..."
"What a lovable expression! What can you even do? Your just a mere kid...HEHEHE"
"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, JUST DON'T HARM THEM...YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ME."
"Oh! We have a dea-"
Belgis suddenly got kicked in the face by Heph, he turned around to push me back to the others....for the first time, Heph finally talked to me.....
"Tch! Always trying to be a hero and making yourself suffer on your own, at least give chances to others...Godspeed Tarus..."
As the walls suddenly fell down on where Heph and Belgis were, I sat on the ground dumbfounded...I couldn't even save a person...is my whole life a lie? Am I really this powerless? Tears started welling in my eyes and I couldn't help but shout...
"YOU DAMN PRICK! WE COULD NEVER GET ALONG AND NOW YOU TRY TO BE HERO??"
I banged my fists on the wall several times until my skin ripped apart and blood started to flow. The others gave me some space and left me alone, they whispered to each other and after a few minutes of crying and punching the wall, all that was left was silence. Everyone was gone and not a single soul except for me. I looked around to only find darkness as it loomed over me, I used corrosion several times and I only wasted my Thyl and energy. I'm so tired and I just want all of this to end, I miss my life back in the village. I wept for some time and light in the darkness illuminated the area around me, It's a white crown fragment. I wiped my teary eyes and I moved the crown fragment to my crown and I have to bear the pain, this is seriously a powerful crown fragment I don't even know if I can handle its power. I felt very warm as the pain subsided and I looked at the white crown fragment, it's a variant of a fire crown fragment...."Accursed fire crown fragment". With a glimmer of hope I started melting down the walls, white fire spurted and it looked beautiful. I successfully escaped from the enclosure and my only goal right now is to find the others.
"I knew you could do it!" someone shouted from my back and hugged me
"B-big sister Agnes! Is that really you!?"
"Little boy it's me! You did a good job in obtaining that crown fragment!"
"T-thanks..."
"For some reason, demons are attracted to you...maybe it's because of your crown fragments. I'm not sure about this, it's just my guess."
"Well, you do have a point."
"Little boy cheer up! There's this saying in the higher empire that claims after a person has gone through so many curses, blessings will appear! So cheer up and turn that frown into a smile!"
"I really appreciate what you did for us big sister Agnes!"
"Oh my, Oh my...YOU GUYS ARE REALLY SO LOVABLE AND ADORABLE!!!"
"By the way big sister Agnes, where were you this whole time?"
"I tracked that person called 'Belgis', he got Heph and the other kids down in a facility like room."
"Crap! We need to get to them quickly!"
We quickly ran and I followed big sister Agnes to the location of the others. The way there was smooth sailing and we descended quickly through various hallways, the deeper we went the more skulls started appearing on the walls and it's lighted up with candles with red wax. I didn't have time to mind the walls as we kept on running whilst worrying about the safety of the others. We heard screams coming from the direction we are headed to and I ran faster and we saw the opening. The room we headed to was covered in white and looked as alien-like as the underground kingdom. Belgis was holding the others hostage as he waited for me to enter.
"Welcome, Welcome TAAAAAAARUUUUUUUUUUS!"
"I'll make you pay for what you did to the others!"
"Kill me if you can!"
"Madman!"
I let out the Nemax sword and stepped forward but something in me is telling me to stop so I did.
"Why stop? C'mon, you were so close!!"
"I know you have tricks up on your sleeves!"
"Nice intuition...but not enough!"
As I stood in place I looked at the others and they were covered in bruises and crying their eyes out, they might be mature and adult-like but they're just kids like me. I couldn't hold my anger and I leaped and swung the Nemax aiming for his neck. I used all my strength on that swing to only be stopped by Belgis with two fingers.
"Surprised? Heh, your too weak to even kill me off!"
"Bastard!"
I couldn't remain in the air any longer so I stuck the Nemax on the wall as I hanged with it, to my surprise the wall became jelly-like and I fell on the ground to be suddenly encased in some white gooey stuff.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm laughing right now! Your too dumb and naïve!"
"BELGIS, I SWEAR IF I GET A CHANCE I'LL TORMENT YOU IN HELL!"
"oh, can you?"
I tried using any other of my skills and I was only left with the accursed fire crown fragment. I spurted some white flames and I increased the speed and intensity of the output of the white fire. I made a hole then suddenly it got covered quickly, I tried and tried until I got tired. I sliced the thing with my sword then I quickly hopped out to only see that no one was in the room, I looked around to no avail. I heard sounds in the ground so I melted it and made a hole. I saw Belgis descending on a platform with his surprised face I jumped down and readied the Nemax. I sliced it aiming again for his neck to only be blocked by a little girl who looked similar to Heph. I turned and found Belgis and slashed him and he quickly countered it by covering himself with the little girl and in a split second, I heard the sound of bars being broken and the sound of blades clanking...Heph covered for the girl.
"H-Heph, why...?"
"Don't you dare aim your sword on my sister!"
