I always end up loosing people who are close to me....
My parents and now my star spirit... I always lose everything precious to me.
I'm a loser...
"A Goddess?" Vierne said.
"Yes." Asteria said.
"....But, Lict is an elite star who serves music! You cannot kill him!" Vierne said.
"Don't worry. I know that well, that's why, I won't kill him... I'll just lock him up in this-"
"NO WAY! LICT HATES BEING LOCKED UP! YOU CAN'T LOCK HIM IN THAT THING!"
"It's for your own good. I've already overlooked it for a very long time. Now, his curse is running out of control-"
"I'LL CURE HIM! I'VE GOT THE CURE FOR IT!"
"...You mean...the intercourse?"
"Y- Yes!" Vierne said.
"...It only works upto some stages"
"What?"
"He is on his final stage right now. Can you really have an intercourse with him?"
"I CAN!"
"I mean, do you think he'll-"
Suddenly, the small bottle started shining, giving out a red light.
Asteria used her magic spell on it, emitting a green light.
"Lady!" Blue shouted as he came closer to her.
"STAY BACK! YOU'LL GET INFECTED!!!" Asteria shouted. Her skin slowly started cracking up and blood gushed out of her wounds.
"LADY!! THROW AWAY THE VESSEL!!" Blue shouted.
"LICT!" Vierne shouted as she grabbed the vessel.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Asteria said.
"I'M SAVING HIM FROM YOU!!" Vierne shouted and she was again covered by a blue light.
"W- What is this light?!" Asteria said.
Vierne snatched the vessel from Asteria and accidentally dropped it on the ground.
The vessel developed a crack on its lid.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!" Asteria shouted.
"Huh?" Vierne said as the vessel started shining brighter.
"I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!" A fangirl said.
"T- Thank you..." Akagi said as he passed the book with his signature on the cover page to the girl.
"This way please." Melissa said.
"Finally! We're done with that stupid event." Akagi said as he sat into his car.
"We'll reach Moscow soon. What do you wanna play?" Melissa said as he took out cards from her bag.
Akagi just covered his eyes and slept.
"HEY! DON'T SLEEP!!" Melissa shouted.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOU'VE DONE?! YOU'VE SET HIM FREE!!" Asteria shouted.
Lict came out of the broken vessel and stood in front of Vierne.
"LICT! THANK GOD!!" Vierne said with a smile.
Lict turned towards her. His eyes were black and seemed dead.
He could barely stand. All his powers and his energy had been consumed by the vessel. Now, he was as weak as any normal human.
"*GASP*"
"What happened?" Kim said to Scar.
Scar smiled and said "We're having a party somewhere... something interesting is about to happen. What will you do, Milord?"
"Let's go." Kim said.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Asteria shouted as she ran towards Lict.
"L- Lict?" Vierne said as Lict stood in front of her.
"BLUE! COME!" She said and Blue took the form of a silver trident.
She attacked Lict with her trident and he landed on the ground.
"Now I'm left with no choice but to kill you." Asteria said.
"WAIT- NO!" Vierne said.
"Hold it right there, Goddess Asteria" Scar said as Kim stood beside her.
"The Blackheart of Touch? Why are you here?" Asteria said "If you're here to save your brother, then I can't help you."
"You're getting me wrong. I'm not here to save my brother. I just want you to let me kill him." Scar said.
"Huh?... I don't mind it but... why?" Asteria said.
"Isn't it obvious? Because I wanna prove that I'M the strongest star by killing him." Scar said.
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?! AREN'T YOU HIS SISTER?" Vierne said.
"So? That means?" Scar said.
"You...You're all horrible! I'm not letting you hurt my star spirit!" Vierne said and held Lict's hand.
But unexpectedly, she felt a sharp pain as soon as she touched him and immediately moved her hand away.
"L- Lict?" Vierne said.
"His body rejected you. Give up, Vierne." Scar said.
Vierne just looked at Lict.
"Alright, I've been quite patient now." Scar said as Kim opened his diary.
"NO Milord, I wanna defeat him without your help." Scar said.
"Fine by me." Kim said as he closed the diary and kept it back in his pocket.
Soon, they were inside the blank space.
Scar made a gladius circle behind her.
Vierne quickly took off her spirit binding ring.
"You're done!" Scar said and signaled the swords towards Lict.
Vierne came in front of Lict and brought her hand forward.
Whichever sword touched her right hand, was broken into pieces.
Vierne smiled from this small success.
But, some of the swords dodged her and pierced Lict's chest.
He was stabbed by 23 swords, directly through his heart, which protruded out of his back.
"What?" Vierne said as she turned towards him.
"How naive." Scar said from behind with a huge hammer in her hand.
She smashed Lict's head with the hammer and he went flying towards the buildings, broke four walks and finally landed on the fifth wall.
The rubble from the broken building fell on him. Scar clipped her fingers and all four buildings fell on him.
"LICT!!" Vierne shouted as she ran towards the rubble.
"He's still alive. But...his presence is less now...I bet he'll die any moment." Scar said with a smile.
"Not if I can help it." Akagi said with a hammer in his hand.
"Oh! Welcome! A Goddess, two Demigods and my useless big brother, what a party. Let's have a blast!" Scar said and disappeared again.
She attacked Akagi, head on.
Akagi dodged her and smashed the hammer on her stomach.
She oozed out blood from her mouth and landed on the ground.
"Pff- Ha ha ha!!" She started laughing "Oh my God! I felt as if my gut almost came out of my mouth."
She got up and ran towards Akagi. She raised her hammer and Akagi dodged her.
"Too slow." Akagi said.
She smiled as her hammer turned into a rope covered with nails.
It grabbed Akagi like a snake grabs its prey.
As the grip of the rope grew tighter, the nails dug into Akagi's flesh.
"How is this? Ha ha-"
"Is this the best you can do?" Akagi said.
"Huh?" Scar said.
Akagi smiled. He broke the nails and tore the rope.
"H- How did you do it?" Scar said.
"It tickled a little." Akagi said as he pressed his stomach. His wounds had already started to heal.
"Now then, shall we continue?" He said.
"You're disrupting my work." Asteria said as she came and stood beside Scar.
"Oh? So you've got someone else on your side?" Akagi said "Fine by me, let's rock this fight."
"Lict! Lict!" Vierne mumbled as she started digging in the rumble and started breaking it with her powers.
Finally, she found him under the rubble. Half of his face was mangled, all his limbs were broken and twisted, his gut was a pool of blood, his intestines were hanging out of his abdomen, the swords were nowhere to be seen, but his heart was missing from his body, his mouth was covered with blood and his eyes were shut.
"LICT!" Vierne said as she looked at him.
He didn't move an inch, as if he were dead.
Vierne gulped and slowly moved her trembling hands towards Lict's face. She touched his face.
"He is cold...Lict?" Vierne said.
Lict didn't respond. He just sat there, leaning on the wall.
"Lict? Hey...don't scare me like this…. get up already.... I'm... hungry.... make me something."
".........."
"Lict? C- Come on....
Get up! Tomatoes will do, I'll eat them. Get up, Lict.... don't.... don't leave me" Vierne said.
Lict still just lay there, leaning his back on the wall.
"LICT! GET UP!...IT'S AN ORDER!!!" Vierne said.
He didn't respond.
"Lict.... *sob* no....it's not an order..." Vierne said as tears flowed down her cheeks "It's...a request....please…please...."
".........."
"You said you'll stay....You said you'll be there for me...you said you'll stay with me, forever...but I guess, forever ends today, huh?"
"........…....."
"Lict..."
Akagi jumped and disappeared in the air. He suddenly appeared in front of Scar and attacked her but Asteria grabbed his neck from behind.
He moved the other end of his hammer towards Asteria's neck while he kicked Scar's face.
"DAMN YOU!" Scar said and took out a gun from her pocket.
She shot at Akagi, he jumped, did a handstand and kicked the bullet back at Scar.
She tried dodging it, but before the bullet could reach her, Akagi reached her and moved her towards the bullet. It hit her in the eye.
"GAH!!! YOU MOTHERF**KER!!" She shouted as she covered her bleeding eye.
He took her gun and smashed it with his hammer.
......
"Pff- You think I'll disappear from that? I have a total of 35 weapons, you have to break all of those to make me disappear." She said and moved a sword towards Akagi's gut.
Suddenly, Vierne grabbed the sword, with her left hand. Her hand started bleeding.
"Vierne, your hand!" Akagi said.
"I know.... I could have easily shattered it to pieces if I had used my right hand...but..... I just wanted to feel some physical pain." Vierne said.
"Why?" Akagi said.
"Because... It's much less painful than a mental pain.... None of you left Lict alone, he was doing just fine. He was happy, he smiled, but... you people just could not bear it...YOU KILLED HIM!!! HAPPY NOW? OH THANK GOD A CURSED STAR DIED! HE WAS CONTAMINATING THIS ENTIRE WORLD, RIGHT?!
But you know what's rotten, IT'S YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE EVEN A GOD HAS FALLEN THIS LOW, NO WONDER THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS-"
"Vierne, calm down-" Akagi said as he patted his hand on Vierne's head.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! IT'S DISGUSTING!" Vierne said as she moved away from him.
"What?" Akagi said as his eyes grew wide with surprise.
"Sometimes.... I miss the past... things were so simple back then....I was not happy, but at least I wasn't sad.... I'M TIRED OF BEING A DEMIGOD... I CAN'T BREAK ANYMORE, I DON'T WANT ANYTHING ANYMORE, I JUST.... I JUST .... I JUST WISH I HAD NEVER MET YOU!" Vierne shouted.
"What are you saying, Vierne-" Akagi said.
"What's that?" Kim said as he looked towards the buildings.
"What?" Akagi said and Vierne turned towards the buildings.
"Lict....is moving." Kim said.
"You can see it from this far?" Akagi said.
Lict's fingers started moving slowly. His face started healing at a tremendous rate, his broken limbs and joints came back to their original positions. His body started healing itself.
He slowly got on his knees and his shirt tore apart, his upper body was entirely black.
His eyes were still closed as he got up.
"OH NO OH NO OH NO!" Asteria said "BLUE!!"
"Got it, Lady." Blue said as he rushed towards Lict, in his trident form.
Lict got up straight, his platinum blonde hair was now golden and as he opened his eyes, Blue was cut into two pieces.
"WHAT THE-" Akagi said.
"We're late!" Asteria said.
"Mi- Milady" Blue said as he fell down and faded away.
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
"I'm... kinda feeling cold suddenly." Scar said.
Lict's eyes now had a shade of grey, yellow, purple and black.
"HOLY SH*T!" Kim said.
"What happened?" Vierne said.
"His curse, the seal broke...his curse is completely out now," Akagi said.
