" You are a failure and you useless son of a bitch. I should have killed you alongside your mother and your brother " voice echoed
" It's you again " said Rhy
" You are my regret and I will haunt you till eternity, if you survived till " voice echoed
" Don't you remember who you are? You are a son of a prostitute " voice echoed
Rhy face turned blank as his muscles started to tense
" Hold yourself Rhy " said Thum
" Ghgh...hmmm " grunted Rhy
" You are useless like your father, that drunkard, you killed me right and I will haunt you, son of a bitch " voice echoed
A swarm of appendages ripped through Rhy's body, ripping his abdomen. His lower limbs disintegrated as he used his appendages made out of flesh, bones and muscles to balance himself.
Thum, swiftly charged in and merged himself with Rhy. With Thum's lower limbs and Rhy's upper body together, they were merged into one being. Talller, stronger and bulkier than before, the zither attached to their side, held together by the appendages.
" Guys...I think we are cooked " said Jetchi
" They can't play the zither atleast, so that's a plus point I think " said Kazuki
Thum's body grew a pair of arms that latched itself to the Zither, tuning the strings as blood dripped through the fingers
" Fuck " said Kazuki
" This is the final ballet and there is nothing that can beat us, you all are dead. Merge with us and we all live as a happy family, singing and playing instruments " said Rhy
" Woah, our voices mixed I think we are speaking in polyphonic " said Rhy
" Together we are Rhythum " said the figure
" Wow, so creative, I bet someone dictating the story was definitely not using the bad word play in the situation " said Abel
" What ? " asked Rhythm
" Fuck you that's what " said Abel as he stood up and healed his wounds
" Yuen needs vengeance " said Abel
" And I will not forgive you for taking her away from me..I will hunt you to hell If I can..I will kill you, you pathetic piece of shit..You are soo dead " said Abel as he stood still
" Those words, I've heard it somewhere, decades ago..You remind me of someone..it makes me wanna kill you..even more, chop you up and eat you " said Rhy
" Try me bitch " said Abel
Rhy frustrated with the mind games, attacked Abel with his appendages but Abel was able to avoid every attack effortlessly, deflecting and dodging the attacks with swiftness and flamboyancy. After some rapid strikes, Rhy was able to pierce through Abel's arm and pin him to the ground using one of his appendage.
" Now you are dead " said Rhy
" Aight bet " said Abel as he grabbed Rhy's extensions and tried to push it away
" You do know that all your attempt are futile? I can overpower you and kill you this instance " said Rhy as he started walking towards Abel
" I know, but I don't need to defeat you..I just need you to damage me enough " said Abel
" What do you mean ? " asked Rhy
A sharp, shooting pain radiated through Rhy's arm, causing the appendage to lose it's grip and grew a hole similar to Abel's arm and started to wither. Abel using this opportunity, pulled out the appendage and rushed at Rhy, catching him off guard and slashing away few of his appendages.
" WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING, WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO REGROW MY INJURIES WHAT.. WHAT!?!" shouted Rhy
" Calm down Rhy, analyze the situation, we can win this " said Thum as he tuned in his Zither
" Well you see, You just can't kill me and quite literally you can't touch me " said Abel
" I am the cursed one so it's kinda my thing, anyways there's another reason you aren't able to heal properly, and that is because of my nephew.. Hiro " said Abel
" Woah you heard that Hiroshi? He acknowledged Hiro as his nephew.. that's unexpected actually " said Mimiko
" He did.." said Hiroshi
" Guys, we can do that family acceptance shit later, heal me I think my femur is broken, I need help " said Kazuki
" I am trying but it's taking a lot of time, I can't do this..I can't " said Mimiko as she started to cry
" C'mon believe in yourself, imagine if we lose today, no of us will be able to avenge the fallen villagers..We can't die here today..he have to win this Mimiko for Niko, for Yuen, for Han " said Kanako
" I.... understand.. " said Mimiko as she wiped her tears off
" This guy is getting on my nerve " said Rhy
" Calm the fuck down Rhy " said Thum
" Don't talk to me like that Thum " said Rhy
" You are being ignorant focus " said Thum
" Don't tell me what to do Thum " said Rhy
" You are being mean Rhy, listen " said Thum
" STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, YOU THINK I'M FUCKING STUPID, YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT " shouted Rhy
" You are..Mother was right you are just like our father...you are a monster.." said Thum
" YOU... BITCH.. YOU HAD TO BRING THEM HERE..I AM NOT A HUMAN ANYMORE AND THOSE EMOTIONS MEANS NOTHING TO ME I WOULD RATHER CHOSE TO BE DEMON THAN BE A FUCKIN HUMAN AGAIN !! " said Rhy
" I am your brother and it's my responsibility to tell you when you are wrong " said Thum
" You are not my brother " said Rhy
" What?? " asked Thum
" YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER, YOU ARE SCAR AND PARASITE WHO KILLED MY MOTHER..IF IT WAS NOT FOR HER I WOULD'VE KILLED YOU " said Rhy
There was a dead silence in the battlefield..as a slow cool breeze flew around, rustling and shaking the leaves of the withered trees and bushes, everyone was astonished upon hearing the conversation between Rhy and Thum
" So that's how it is " said Thum
The fused body of Rhy and Thum started to wither as the lower half of Thum's body started to seperate away from Rhy's upper half..
" What are you doing?? " asked Rhy
" I am done with this life, I can't do this anymore I am going back with mom like I should've " said Thum
" Oh no you are not, I am sorry please I just got angry, I am..I didn't mean it " said Rhy
" You are just like our dad " said Thum
" Mom was right " said Thum
" WHAT DID YOU JUST SAID? " asked Rhy
" I said YOU ARE JUST LIKE OUR DAD, MOM WAS RIGHT RHY" said Thum
" RHY " a voice echoed
" I am talking to Thum and everyone is standing still, then who's talking? Who is it? Who are you, reveal yourself!? " asked Rhy
" You've shown your worth to ascend to the next level, take this power within your hand and join the elites " a voice echoed
" It isn't Dai shi..who is it? " asked Rhy
Fire and lighting emitted the area around Rhy engulfing him in a blue fire. A black hand that was withered and rotten, emerged from the sky above. It held a black crystal emitting blue flame and black lighting. As it ascended, Thum's body was pushed away by the pressure.
" Thum's is a goner, kill him and take his soul core..he was stepped away from the path of Daishi and will be nothing more than a burden. You have the opportunity to be free, have a will, be immortal, getting free from the fear of losing people, c'mon now, join the elites " said the voice
The molded, grotesque body gaped open as a young beautiful man emerged from within, he had curly hair, blue eyes, white skin but was weak and puny despite his long stature.
" Who the fuck is that? " asked Abel
" That's Rhy " said Thum as he healed
" That ugly bastard ? " asked Abel
" Yes " said Thum
" He is handsome though " said Kanako
" Join us Rhy " voice echoed.
Rhy straighten up his arms to absorb the crystal however he was still not able to completely stretch out his body towards the crystal.
" I am going to end this " Rhy said in his mind
" I will kill them all " he added
" Rhy..you broke my promise " said a lady
" Promise ? " asked Rhy
" You hurt me Rhy " said the same lady
" I haven't that voice in ages " said Rhy
" You are just like him " said the lady again
Rhy turned around to look back in that monster shell..a lady was crying at a distance kneeling and begging. Rhy's eyes started to tear up as his body was getting pulled towards the crystal
" Please stop it Rhy " said the lady
" That voice...Ma? Ma ? " said Rhy
