"You will regret messing with me! If life is the debt, life will be the payment, and I'll make sure that I will take a very heavy interest among you!"
Luis looked at the enemies with his eyes completely turned grey as it glowed intensely inside the pitch-black forest.
Air gathered around him as it boosted him high up in the sky.
Invisible energies scattered as a golden aura came from nowhere as it slowly gathered around the young man's hands.
The barrier broke as it can't prevent the aura Luis exuded.
"God aura! God aura! He has a God guiding him! Hurry! Run!" The leader screamed as he ran towards the forest with his tail between his legs.
"Nobody should escape my domain! I'm not done collecting your debts!" The floating Luis shouted as he swiped his hands and got 3 members of the sect.
The energy flowed towards him as a black with a tinge of red aura enveloped the three slowly taking away their lives.
"A demonic energy! He has a Demon God!" The leader muttered silently from afar.
Meanwhile, inside his subconsciousness, the scale changed and the black plate suddenly goes down as the white plate go up.
"Is this the Scale of Harmony and Chaos? Why does the Chaos scale have the weight?" Skyrion pondered as he intently looked towards the scale.
"Skyrion, the Goddess of Fate is gone so the scale will return to the rightful owner," Eroditus spoke calmly and looked towards the scale with sentimentality in his eyes as he reminisces the last time he saw the scale.
"You mean, this child?" Skyrion asked.
"I don't know, but that's what I'm thinking too," Eroditus spoke as he turned around and go back to Luis's consciousness watching the massacre happening around him.
Luis slew 17 members of the Black Cloud Sect as he drained all of them their life forces.
The scale of Chaos goes down further but it slowly rises because the scale of Harmony slowly gathered a white light on the plate.
Luis looked towards Serion as a brilliant white light suddenly shone on his eyes as the wounds and scars the young man has slowly disappeared and his chest moved up and down breathing slowly as life came back to him.
"He also has a Divine Energy? What have we done! Why does Divine Prophecy have a monster like him! I better tell this to the Sect Master!" The leader ran towards the other side of the forest where the Black Cloud Sect was located.
When he got out of the forest and turned around to face the forest where the slaughtering was happening.
"I'll make sure that you will pay this humiliation kid! I, Excerius, will make sure that I will take your life personally!" He swore as he continued to walk towards the place where the Black Cloud Sect resides.
Inside the forest, the other six members of the Black Cloud Sect scattered around the forest as Luis chased all of them.
He killed the last six sect members one by one and revived the beheaded Archie.
The killed people were revived but remained unconscious as Alyssa and Achilleas remained dumbfounded by the whole slaughter that happened.
"A rat has escaped but I'll make sure that this debt will be collected sooner or later, prepare yourselves and I'll annihilate you Black Cloud Sect!" Luis exclaimed as he looked at the dumbfounded Alyssa and Achilleas.
"Memory Manipulation: Stitched Memories!" Luis chanted as a pinkish light glowed towards the two and he made a new memory where he used the red mist of the Black Demon to scare the wits out of the Black Cloud Sect.
"Earth Manipulation: Tectonic Movement!" Luis chanted as the ground moved and devoured the whole team while Alyssa and Achilleas were still dumbfounded absorbing the new memories Luis gave them.
Outside the forest, a hole suddenly emerged as it spewed a group of unconscious people.
Hours passed and the two snapped out of their senses as they discovered that they're outside the forest already.
"Achilleas! Help me to check them!" Alyssa directed as she immediately checked every one of their pulses.
"How on earth did we get here?" Achilleas spoke confusingly as he looked around and checked the members of the group.
When they finished checking that everyone's fine and nobody got a grave injury. Alyssa and Achilleas walked around finding some clues on how did they got out of the forest.
"Achi, come here!" Alyssa shouted as he gestured Achilleas to come.
"There's some trace of the earth manipulated in this spot!" Alyssa pointed at a patch of ground that looks different than the other part.
"I guess we owe the dweeb a lot in this mission." Achilleas amused while touching the ground where they came.
"Yeah, I still need a lot of studying to learn so I can become an effective commander like him," Alyssa responded while looking towards the sleeping Luis together with the other unconscious team.
The two made a camp to spend the time in the spot because they alone can't bring all of them together at once.
They decided to come back after the team fully recovered.
Night came and a member suddenly sat up.
"Is this the other side? Why is it so dark?" Serion, the member who sat up, spoke.
"Are you okay now Serion?" Alyssa asked.
"So you died too? Great, everyone died!" Serion sarcastically remarked as he punched the ground too hard.
"Ah! Damn! Even the ground on the other side is still solid!" Serion winced as he scratched his bruised knuckle.
Alyssa smacked him at the back of his head.
"Dimwit! You're alive, and no one died!" Alyssa spoke as she hugged Serion.
"Seriously? I'm alive? But, I was stabbed and everyone died, how on earth did we live?" Serion asked.
Alyssa took a step back to start telling him what happened when the other members sat up too with the same expression as to how Serion did.
They cheered when they discovered that they lived and the same confusion appeared on their faces.
Alyssa told what happened around the campfire she made by igniting the branches she gathered around.
After the group heard the story in which Luis manipulated into a God revived them in the face of Skyrion, they looked at him with awe, gratitude, and some of them felt guilty for what they said to him, Achilleas is one of those and they already looked up to him like they owed him their lives.
They ate the remaining beast meat they have and took another rest to fully recover.
Morning came and Luis finally woke up, he organized the things as soon as he got up but Serion, Alyssa, and Achilleas also woke up seconds later after he did and they saw Luis packing the things himself.
"What are you doing Luis? You should take a rest first, you did all-nighter before this mission, fought hard in battles, and concocted the emergency pills that saved us from those Black Cloud people!" Serion nagged as he took the bag he was preparing.
"It's okay Serion, we need to get out of here as soon as possible to avoid risking our lives again," Luis responded in a calm tone as he packed the other things.
The three didn't object since they know that no one can stop him from doing what he wants so they just helped him so that the task will be finished soon.
Hours passed and the other members of the team woke up simultaneously in one or two-minute intervals.
They discovered that their things are packed and the three glared at them and saw that Luis was at a campfire cooking something.
"If you woke up earlier, that kid could rest more, but you slept deeper than him and now we can't stop him from cooking your food!" Achilleas nagged the group in whispers.
"Hurry and stop him! We can't stop him because he's doing that for all of you, I guess only you can stop him." Alyssa calmly asked but her face didn't look calm as she still had that annoyed look.
The team felt more guilty as they immediately approached Luis who is cooking their meal and because of their number and persistence, they succeed in stopping Luis but they can't stop him from teaching them how to cook it.
After eating, they immediately departed towards the Town of Cluxia.
Three hours passed, an hour longer because they matched Luis's pace who looked exhausted, they reached the Town of Cluxia where they rented a carriage that will carry the group back to Divine Prophecy Academy.
"I'll leave the reporting to you guys, I'll head back at my house first. Take this, it's the flower signifying the completion of our mission." Luis handed out a large case that is as big as a span of Alyssa's arms.
Luis heads towards the Divine Medicine Pavilion and immediately used the portal towards the School of Medicine and the residential area.
As soon as he got home, he immediately walked towards his room and flopped on the bed, in a second, he fell asleep as Luna came beside him to comfort the tired Luis.
"Even though it looked like he doesn't care about those people, he really took care of them ignoring his own health," Eroditus commented after he appeared beside the young man.
"But the good thing is that the trauma is gone for good and his true power was awakened!" Skyrion happily responded.
"There are still some restrictions before he can freely control his true power." Eroditus continued.
"I agree Cow-man!" Skyrion agreed.
At the same time, the group reported back to Theriud and shown him the flower they got.
"Good job! Anyway, where's Luis? Why didn't he come with you?" Theriud asked.
"He immediately went home as soon as we came here," Jay answered, the production student with an Ice power.
"So he immediately lazed out after getting back? What a great kid Mufar has!" Theriud exclaimed with his brows furrowed.
The group has this soured look on their face after hearing Theriud's accusations.
"Uhm, Vice Dean Theriud, sorry to interrupt but Luis, contributed the most in this mission, and because of him, we are still here standing in front of you, so please, don't judge him and let the hero take a rest, he deserved it." Alyssa refuted and Theriud looked at the whole team who only nod to agree with Alyssa.
----------
A man arrived at a mountain passed the Black Smog Forest where one of the top organizations resides, the Black Cloud Sect.
The man, which was named Excerius, came and reported at the Sect Master. He told the opposite thing about what happened in the forest.
"Good Fulgur! I'll make sure that you will pay for this humiliation!"
