Kevin (pov)
Face to face with a giant spider, it has multiple eyes I felt like it was watching my every move, its eyes would follow wherever I go.
It was scary but not as terrifying as the voice I heard a minute ago.
"dev was killed by 526"
I can vividly remember the mechanical voice that announced my sister's death.
My sister died
I couldn't confirm if it was true.
I don't even know if I should believe it.
But if it's true.
That means I broke my promise.
I couldn't protect her.
if only I accepted that.
would everything change?
I was woken up when a high pitch call almost broke my ear.
"Kevin!" She yelled sitting meters away from me, but her voice was crystal clear.
'right, it was just a test she's still alive I'll protect her this time.'
My eyes have gone bad, I can see clones of the things in my sight
Blood was pouring down the table and I looked at the fat man that saved my life
His name is Terro Rilled, the one responsible for my and everyone else's life in this mission.
The blood of the Rilled is known for its ability to communicate with nonliving things, metals are no exception.
With his help, it was easy to control the bullet that was about to hit my head.
I try acting weak and said, voice trembling
"I, I survive it's your turn"
I pointed at the monster and the revolver levitate towards him.
'I should keep my acting in shape' I pondered and the barrel of the gun spun.
Isaac's plan is simple, we move-
"Wait"
Allen called as he slam the table, his body was trembling it seems like his scared like everyone else.
"How would I know you're not going to cheat?" He asked and the revolver was put down on the table.
A tab appeared.
"Roll the gun..... and I tell you when to stop" Allen's voice was shaking his breathing was unstable and he was on the Brink of collapsing.
It must be a warning or an Intimidation of the monster.
"So I know you're not gonna cheat" Allen readjusted the collar on his neck.
"Kay, but I'll control the bullet in your head," Gamby said his condition
"I'm fine with that"
The gamble continues.
The gun levitates to the spot where Gamby had his body shot the first time, it's cracking millimeters away from reaching his giant red eye.
Unlike his, we're it was calculated and him getting hurt was part of the plan, Allen's life is in real danger and all Kevin could do is watch.
The barrel rolled and Allen spoke eyes close not even watching the gun.
"stop" listening to Allen's command the gun shoot.
A bullet came out, and gamby's eyes were sparking his body crumbled until only half was left.
"You cheated!" The monster exclaimed and the card table begin to tremble, cards fall apart one by one seconds later the table had turned into a pile of cards.
The civilians who were dragged along and doesn't have a clue about what was happening got their whole bodies turned into hundreds of golden coins.
"Why did you do that!?, this is your fault!" one of those people exclaimed before turning into a pile of gold.
'This is not real?' Allen pondered looking away from those civilians.
Behind the monster is an army of warriors cards, levitating spears by their side as they all step forward.
"I...it's your turn now" Allen spoke and the gun traveled towards him.
The monster's body is slowly crumbling to pieces, he is about to lose his life it just depends on when it will happen.
"If I saw you cheating I wi-
"I didn't cheat so roll it"
The card warriors all step forward, the metallic round of the revolver masking the sound they create as they glide towards the remaining players of the game.
seven people including dev, Isaac, and Terro the fatty have a guard behind them, Kevin has none as he continued his weak acting despite the situation getting out of hand.
Seeing dev trying to look away from Allen as she trembles like a wet kitten made Kevin have the urge to comfort her and say everything is gonna be okay.
Except he won't know if everything is gonna be okay.
"When will you start?" Allen asked.
"You're eager to face death"
The gun stopped its spin.
The barrel begins to roll once more.
"Why didn't you sho-
Allen was about to ask something but stopped, he fixed his glasses and goes for his sit trembling as if the bravery he showed earlier was now all drained.
"I knew it" The monster with his crumbling body hid in the darkness.
Unlike before Isaac stood up from his comfortable card chair.
"Grab your weapo-
Stab.
The sound of flesh and the short scream of surprise by the one that was hit.
Isaac looked to the side and saw a girl stabbed by one of the card warriors.
The girl grabbed the spear with both hands, the pain can be seen on her face as she tries to pull it off.
"Ahhhhh!" Kevin screamed jumping down the card warrior and slicing him in half.
"Isaac!" Kevin called
"Back off!" Isaac drags Kevin away as a spear coming from above almost hit him in the head.
"Terro grab Luna and the kids!" Isaac yelled and the fat guy follow his command.
The chair with the stabbed girl moved on its own getting away from the battle and closer to the exit door.
"You guys should move away, your all just deadweight" He spoke to the kids. "and protect Luna"
"Your okay right?" Dev asked her body still trembling.
"I'll tell everything later sis, for now" Kevin looked in front where a fight was happening.
Terro uses the cards on the floor, it moves on its own to attack the darkness, trying to luckily hit the monster that was hiding there.
The dead card soldiers were something he could also control turning them against their fellow cards.
The man with long hair can turn his spit to fire, so every card warrior coming towards him was set ablaze.
They look like they're winning but the card warrior's number wasn't reduced, they just kept on coming and coming.
Gamby also couldn't be seen in the darkness, the long hair guy threw a flaming card warrior into the darkness thinking it will light up the surroundings but the fire was blown off before it could even reach its destination.
"leader this isn't working" the long hair guy complained.
"Their number isn't getting smaller at all" A girl with long violet hair swung her sword towards the card warriors.
"Allen, can you see him?" Isaac asked but got no response.
"His sleeping" Kevin said dragging Allen away from the battle.
"Great we lost him before the fight" The long hair guy complained.
Seeing the message, in an instant, their body become so heavy that standing up made them feel like the flesh in their legs was getting stretched off.
"Kevin almost instantly lost consciousness, and the girl that was stabbed fall asleep.
Dev who was by their side was clueless about what just happened.
"Kevin" Dev called but he didn't answer
"Leader, I don't feel good" Terro was kneeling on the ground rubbing his head
Isaac was moving like a turtle fighting with the incoming card warriors, trying to pull his weight.
"The fuck is going on!?" The long hair guy screamed as he put the card warriors in flame.
"What happened to you two!?"
Just as he said those words terro lost consciousness and Isaac fell to the ground
"It looks like we cheaters can't fight" Isaac stated "the monster is already dying just hold on for a mi-
he falls asleep.
"Hey brat!, we need help!" The long hair guy screamed at dev.
She grab the sword that her brother was holding and go for the incoming card warriors.
Unlike her brother, dev didn't focus on offense she dodge more than she hit the incoming enemies.
The long hair guy couldn't care less about what method she was doing and smiled at dev who is putting on work.
"Switch!" A man yelped holding his bleeding stomach.
"Don't listen to it!" The long hair guy yelled as more card warriors got summoned out of the darkness.
The wind came out of the female swordsman's hand sending the card warriors flying away.
"Why don't we use that?" She asked
"fuck!, give me a sword my mouth is dry!" Long hair guy swings his sword at the enemy before screaming "We can win this!"
"Let's use that" The injured man suggested and the female swordsman nodded.
"Get in!" The female swordsman and injured one yelled to the long hair guy.
The fifty or so card warriors have their remains scattered in the air as a wind barrier of some sort stretched to the darkness.
"We have fifteen seconds" The female swordsman coughed blood while the injured man was unconscious.
"I can't fight them all alone!" Long hair guy complained
"You have a better plan"
The sound of gold can be heard outstretch the darkness, like falling coins.
His throat couldn't keep up with his screams, his arms are wobbling but he stand tall in front of the wind barrier waiting for the monsters to come.
He dreamed of this happening a hundred times, well it's more like a nightmare than a dream.
That he needs to sacrifice himself, sounds like something a noble would do, he can't believe his doing this.
Cracks can be seen at the Barrier and his heart begin to pound like crazy.
"Kid, take care of everyone will you," He said to dev behind him.
"How about no"
His blood boil as he activated his bloodline.
It's not just his spit that can turn to fire, he only uses it cause it's the safest form of his bloodline.
When the Barrier disappeared in an instant his body was hindered by holes made with spears.
Smoke mixed with blood came out of his mouth and his skin begin to boil
"You can't pass me!" He exclaimed as he turned into a monster himself.
A fire-like golem identical to the fire monster that killed Lee.
He was stabbed by hundred of spears, he could dodge it but choose not to as he was protecting people.
He wipe his hand and fire traveled to the hundred soldiers hiding in the darkness.
His real body in the center of the golem was about to become powder as he is not immune to the flame himself.
His skin cracked and he could feel the pain engulfing his entirety, as he lost consciousness he mumbled
"take care of my daughter leader"
"You will not pass!" The fire golem roared blasting those who come near and not letting a single spear pass through him.
