The atmosphere is tense, the wind started flowing strongly in all directions, clouds rumbled off in the distance indicating a great storm was coming. The battered up boy finally got out of his cocoon of darkness and an eery vibe came with him as he glared at the monocled man floating in the air in front of him. The cocoon of darkness started to dissipate and the boy stood up with a black rugged horn growing out of his forehead.
"So it seems that was enough of a push for you!" babbled Gleesh
The boy didn't reply as he continued glaring at the man floating in front of him. He couldn't think of anything but to kill this arrogant man because of the sin he committed toward his friend.
"H-hey no need to be so rude, I just did you a favor!" Gleesh stuttered and felt a bit of fear
The boy remained silent as he summoned the sharp-edged shield of prejudice in hand and he pulled out the dull heavy black blade that is the Nemax. The sweet sound of the Nemax coming out of its sheath echoed through the whole valley as the boy placed it on his left hand whilst he held the shield in his right. The boy raised his left hand and he pushed forward his right as to show a thrusting formation. The dusty hill that he crashed into, suddenly dissipated into nothingness as he silently used corrosion on it. He lept into the air floating with the white fiery flames of the accursed fire crown fragment.
"Finally motivated to fight?" declared Gleesh
"To hell with it!" the boy replied in anger
He propelled himself to the monocled man floating in front of him as he thrust his sword into the air the clouds above began to darken and form up. Cold icy hail rained down from the heavens and the hail started to spin around forming an icy tornado that spun so strong it carved the hard ground along its path. Several other more icy tornados formed and were headed for the kid. The tornados spun forcefully as they headed swiftly to the floating kid a few feet away. The kid stopped himself as he changed to a defensive formation. With the shield in hand, the kid collided with the 3 tornados, and with one strong sweep, the tornados dissipated into nothingness.
"I guess it's time for me to go all out!" Gleesh shouted
Without a second to waste the young boy teleported through the air to cut the distance between him and Gleesh. In less than a second, the boy is only 2 feet away from Gleesh and he was already in a thrusting formation. Feeling surprised and nervous, Gleesh suddenly formed an ice plate between him and the kid. The Nemax sliced through the ice like butter and the kid swiftly lifted the sword and slapped Gleesh with the flat end of the blade. Gleesh was sent crashing into the rocky ground. Hails still falling from the dark clouds, Tarus landed on the ground using the shield to cover himself from the Hail storm. The kid walked on the rocky ground to where the arrogant man landed.
"N-not bad for a one-horned..."
"You're covered in blood, I will spare you this time since I'm getting exhausted and I'm running out of time with this transformation."
"L-lucky me then..."
"Now hand over the antidote."
"H-here..."
Gleesh rummage through his pockets and handed Tarus a vile containing a green glowing liquid. Tarus took it hastily and he quickly went into his sector. He entered and went directly to the unconscious Kasu who was being attended to by the two shadowy figures.
"Sorry it took some time but I finally got the antidote."
[Oh your back Tarus!]
[Hey kid what happened? Your all beat up with blood here and there....what's with that horn growing out of your head?]
[Horn?]
The smallest of the shadowy figures turned her gaze to the kid and her white outlined face turned into shock as she inspected the black ragged horn from the kid's forehead.
[Tarus...what's going on!? Your body is too weak to handle the horn formation! It'll destroy not only your body but it could also harm your soul!]
"I don't matter, as long as I get everyone to safety that's all that matters to me." the kid proclaimed coldly as his eyes were empty and full of darkness
[Don't you dare talk like that! Are you already giving up on life?!]
"I've suffered enough to not even care about myself anymore."
[But Tar-] Zeichi was stopped by Hel as she put her hand on her shoulder
[Leave him alone, there's nothing that can be done. It's his choice if he wants to live on or end it all.]
As the two stood there the kid walked over to the unconscious lady in her bloodied torn maid outfit. He made her drink the green liquid in the vile and he proceeded to heal her wounds with the white flames. After healing her and letting her drink the vile his laid her down on his lap and he reverted into his base form with his white-brown hair and his horn faded into nothingness. He sat there in silence and he just closed his heavy eyelids, he slowly healed his bones and wounds. Not only is the kid physically exhausted but also mentally.
[H-hey Tarus....]
[Let him rest, can't you see they're sleeping peacefully.]
[....]
[Are you jealous or something? Why not join in eh Zeichi.]
[W-WHA-]
[Shhhh! Keep it down! You might wake them up! No need to be so shy about it! Let me put you beside him!]
[H-hey!]
Hel the taller woman carried the small Zeichi beside the sleeping Tarus and she plopped her down. Still blushing Zeichi started to scoot away a bit but not on Hel's watch. Once again she got plopped again beside the kid and this time instead of scooting away she just sat upright. Hel started getting furious and she forcefully moved Zeichi to the kid's shoulder and Zeichi didn't retaliate this time.
[You sure are a pain to deal with. No reply eh? How can you even leave me hanging and sleeping right away...sheesh...]
The three of them rested on one another.....they deserve a good sleep.....
