Chapter 71 - It's own world , His own nightmare

Kiro wakes up lying on the sofa , then he sees Luchia sleeping on a chair .

"How can she catch sleep on a chair ? Well , she sure has a strong back ."

Kiro gets up and quietly leaves the living room , without disturbing Luchia . He carefully continues his way to Vallerie's room without making a sound . He opens the door and finds Vallerie also sleeping , but she was rolling in distress and talking nonsense in her sleep .

"And how am I supposed to sleep there ? "

Kiro awkwardly walks towards the bed , takes his coat off and lies besides Vallerie , keeping his distance . Suddenly , Vallerie kicks and slaps him in her sleep .

"Alright , the least you could do is help her , don't back down now "

Kiro gently pushes her in the sides and then he feels his eyes getting heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them . Kiro finds himself in a pitch black darkness , he cannot see anything .

"This must be Vallerie's dream , Esgrieth actually pulled it off ."

Suddenly , a faded scream is heard .

"That must be Vallerie"

Kiro rushes toward the direction

-Bloodlust

Kiro's eyes turn pitch black , the only thing Kiro is able to see is a shadowy figure in a distance .

"That must be it , It sure will pay for making me come all the way here ."

Kiro finally arrives at the scene , where a dark figure was strangling Vallerie .

-Time leap

The time slows down , Kiro jumps at the demon and stabs it with his dagger right in the neck . The time goes back to normal . The demon backs away from the knife and reveals it's monstruous face. It starts speaking in a distorted voice :

-A human ? you smell weird ! how could you have come here .

Vallerie finally starts breathing and says while heavily breathing .

-Kiro ...., is that you ?

-Of course not , it's just a dream .

The demon raises it's body in the air and then stares at Kiro :

-You allied with demon ! What an insolence, what a shame .

-Enough with the big talk , you are just a lesser demon.....

The demon suddenly appears in front of Kiro's face , not even two centimetres far:

-What did you say filth ?! I can make you beg me to end your pathetic life !

-I have heard that before .

-We will see about it !

Suddenly , the ground cracks up and Kiro falls in . He has a long fall before falling right on a chair , in a dirty room . He cannot move , then he notices he is inside the jail room he was brought a long time ago .

"What the hell , what is that bastard thinking ?!"

A man appears from the shadows , and reveals himself to be a disfigured Brogg .

-Glad to see you maggot , I have been waiting for you in a long time .

His side kick follows him , with his throat slit .

-Yes , a long time .

-Where am I ?

-Isn't it obvious ? You always said that there will always be enough room in hell , even for you , We all have been waiting for you !

The corpses of guards bang the bars of the cell , screaming and shouting .

-I'll start by flaying you alive , and I'm going to enjoy every single scream of yours .

Kiro was in shock , he went pale ,his heart wanted to stop and the remorse wanted to strangle him. but he tried to keep himself together as always and he comes up with something:

-Bloodlust

Kiro remains silent and stares with his pitch black eyes into the eyes of the disfigured Brogg .

-Those eyes , those eyes of a fiend , the last thing I saw before I died , and you have the audacity to show me those eyes ?!

Suddenly Brogg freezes . A sadistic grin appears on Kiro's face . His head and neck twist in unnatural angles , and then he stabs himself multiple times .

-You still remain scum , even in hell .

The same thing happens to Brogg's lap dog , as he collapses to the ground . The corpses outside all begin to fall down .

-Yeah this might be hell , but for you , for me it remains a dream .

Kiro still couldn't stand up .

"Well , at least partially . "

Suddenly steps are heard in the halls .

"Come on , who could it be now ?"

Esgrieth shows up and opens the door , entering the jail room .

-I figured out this would be your worst nightmare .

-Why didn't you help me earlier ?

-Was I obliged to ?

-You got me here in the first place , a hand wouldn't hurt .

-Shut up and let me get you free .

Esgrieth touches the chair and it disappears into thin air , causing Kiro to fall .

-Now how do I get back there .

-You can either climb the staircase or take the shortcut with me .

-The shortcut I guess .

-Well let's not waste any time . And remember , use the sword idiot .

Esgrieth grabs Kiro's hand and runs towards the wall . Kiro follows her also running and they break the wall into the dark void that Kiro was first when he got there .

-That sure was fast...

Kiro sees that Esgrieth had disappeared .

-I figured out as much .

The demon pops out in front of Kiro again .

-You weren't supposed to get out filth !

-Time leap .

The time slows down once again . Kiro slices with all his power the demon's head . He decapitates the head and slices it in two mid air .

-Maybe you should go back to the place where you sent me .

The demon's corpse lied on the ground and Kiro suddenly woke up .

"Finally , That bastard sure gave me an hard time , Why didn't I chose to call a priest , I'm sure it would be a lot easier "

Kiro then looks at Vallerie sleeping soundly

"Well , at least I got the job done "

Kiro tries gets up and then he notices Vallerie holding his arm in her sleep . Kiro tries gently removing her arm , but she holds it tighter .

"Is she really asleep?!"

Kiro manages to successfully removes Vallerie's arm without waking her up . He grabs a blanket and covers her , then he leaves quietly the room .

"I finally got this over with ."

Suddenly , a knock is heard on the door .

"This fast , seriously ? "

Kiro walks to open the door and it was non other than Vesper .

-Long time no see Reaper , may I come in , we got much to discuss .

-Yeah , follow me to the living room .

Vesper follows Kiro into the mansion . They enter the living room and they both grab a chair . Vesper notices Luchia sleeping on a chair .

-Seems like your maid is taking a rest .

-Yeah , they deserve a break once in a while , so let's try to be quiet .
