Dream space.
Dante P.O.V
This is odd, why does the dream space feel different from before. Hmmmmmm, something isn't right here.
: "hmm...does it have something to do with the wrist band father Alfred gave me." I said. As I stare down at the wrist band with a look of disbelieve and curious, as that how this material could alter my dream. Though I guess that It was a good thing, if not I could have lost my very sanity, and might have been corrupted and exterminated by the church and that was not on my bucket list.
: "but still, why do I still feel like as if am being watc-."I said.
as I was about to finish that sentence. I felt two eyes staring into my soul from behind me. As The very air around it was filled with despair and death. But still the entity is not moving.... it's just staring at me. And hell does it feels both weird and scary at the same time. But then the entity's form started to change into a more humanoid figure, but I couldn't still make it out as a thick fog started to arise and block my vision from seeing him.
: "BEWARE OF THE BLOODSTONES, BRAT." It said. As it was now walking away towards the abyss but why would it tell me that, heck I should beware of him. But still the question is why is he warning me?
: "wait, what, am not a brat, and hell what this bloodstone nonsense you're talking abou-is." I was caught off guard by a wind pulse from it which pushed me to the opposite side of the abyss. As he became furious and started walking toward me, but stopped when he saw the wrist band and started going back while looking at me in horror.
: "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT, MORTAL!" It pointed to the wrist band and demanded to know. I saw as its mana was getting higher and higher as the dream world started to shake.
: "I SAID, TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THAT THING YOU BRAT!" It shouted even more as his voice became more demonic with a dash of rage.
: "I-i said, am not a BRAT!." I shouted, even though am as scared as hell, but am starting to think that I shouldn't have raised my voice. As I can see that the entity was now officially pissed off. As its aura is now going from green to purple and had changed its form into a more Grimm reaper like form.
: "YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME, MORTAL. YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE TO AZUL. I WILL HARVEST YOUR SOUL, BRAT!" It said with pure rage. I looked at it as it summoned a gigantic scythe with a massive amount of dark energy radiating from it. As it brought the scythe down towards me, and I knew I was a goner but out of instinct, I brought up the wrist band, I was shocked to see that as I did so the energy radiating from the gigantic scythe began to flow into me until it seems to have faded into dust in the wind. As the monster stare at me with misbelieve.
: "W-WHAT, H-HOW DID YOU DO THAT. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?..." It shouted. As the abyss started to clear and it started to fade into nothing and then I noticed something about the wrist band. That it had stared to sink into my body until it was completely gone.
: "huh I guess it's over AAAAAAGGGGAGG!" I shouted. As my body started to d-decay again but this time, its turning purple and with a hint of green as my tattoo had started increase and then the ground had shattered as I started falling into the dark endless void and then I started seeing flashes of the death of million in second like a moving slide show. As it became as overwhelming as the death became more grueling than the first that my eyes started to decay into nothing and then it all vanished into darkness.
: "STOP IT!." I shouted. As I shot out of my bed with sweat running down my face as it was already morning and I needed to get ready for school. And then it struck me as I was getting ready I turn my attention to my wrist band which was gone and my tattoo had started acting up again so i had to wrap bandages over it
. As I was busy figuring out what had happened by this situation at hand as I had already gotten ready. My door was shot opened by big sister rin, who had a worried look on her face.
: "are you okay dante, I heard you shouting from my room." She said. As she started checking my body for any injuries and man is it annoying but sweet.
: "is your tattoo acting up again." She said. As she held my arm to check but I had removed my arm from her grasp as to stop her from seeing the bandages i wrapped around my arms, because the tattoo had started to act up again and I didn't want to stress them out.
: "enough rin am fine okay." I said. As I started to get ready to leave to the academy as with that done I had reached the door, I had turned my attention to sister rin who had a sad expression on her face as she sat down on my bed.
: "you know you don't have to carry this burden upon yourself alone. You know we will always be there for you." Rin said, as she was still sitting down on my bed as I had opened the door.
: "that's why I don't want you guys to be pulled down with me for you all have done so much for me, and you even accepted me when everyone rejected me because of my appearance and the curse. That is why you all are too special to me........ Hmmm am off, please help me tell father Alfred that am gone okay, bye." I said. As I closed the door behind me, I still feel like a fool for pushing them away. Damn why am I so stupid. They were just trying to help me, but I can't afford to lose them.
Time skip to arrival to the academy.
: "they are all that I have in this world, sign." I said as I had reached the academy in nick of time, as all lectures have about to start.
: "come on why is it so hard to find my class every time, Sign." I said as I had finally reached my classroom but as I was about to open the door. I felt a bone chilling sensation, one that just doesn't feel right, because this is just a normal school right, somebody must be watching me.
: "w-whose there... show yourself." I said. As I started to look around for anybody near here in the school hall way though everyone is in class.
: "hmmmm.... I guess no one is here." I said. As I stared down at my watch as it was already 8:30 am in other words, am late for class.
: "damn it, so I just wasted my time on some stupid instinct, now look am late for class." I said. But I then felt something behind me, something that had a very strange aura, an aura that is very dark.
As I turn back to see who it was, just to find out that it was the school headmaster, father Pascal but something about him felt off.
: "aren't you not meant to be in class right now, hmm dante and why are you feeling uneasy huh?" He said with a very curious voice.
: "e-eh of course sir, am just feel a little bit under the weather, I w-will be on my way." I said nervously as my body and soul felt uneasy around him. I was about to make my way to my class but was called by him.
: "ehm Dante, when you're done with your lectures I will want you to come to my office later, I need to discuss something very important with you. Cheery o." he said as he had left. I started to wonder if maybe that strange aura was being produced by him hmm.... And when did he start using a British accent hmm.... quite strange.
: "Mr. Sarutobi would you like an invitation before you enter the class huh." My class teacher said with disappointment in the tone of her voice.
: "no ma apologies for coming late." I said.
: "I expected more from you Mr. Sarutobi, since you are my best student here. You may go take your seat." She said as I went to my seat. The teacher caught site of my arm bandages covering my tattoo and I had hoped that she didn't but I guess it was too late.
: "If I may ask Mr. Sarutobi, why you have bandages wrapped around your arm Are you injured or something." She said with some concern in her voice. As one of the male students who had some beef with me, had stood up.
: "maybe his just hiding a tattoo or something!" He said with a voice I find really annoying.
: "why don't you not just mind your own business huh, blockhead!" I said with a menacing tone added to it. As he only got angrier.
: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY, TWRP!" He said.
: "wow I guess your also deaf too huh what re the odds Hahaha." I said with a stoic expression written on my face.
: "WHY YOU LITTLE BA-." He was caught off. By a chalk to the head, the force of the chalk had pushed him back on his seat.
: "enough hidan. I won't tolerate such violent behavior in my class, so be warned." She said with a strict tone that even I fear. As she then turned her attention to me.
: "Mr. Sarutobi please refrains from such violent act and as for the bandages please take them off this instant." She said to me. And I knew that I can't do that. As I saw hidan talking to some of his friends and then I noticed some of them shifting his seat close to me.
: "am so sorry ma but I can't do that." I said, trying to maintain a respectful behavior towards her.
: "and why is that." She asked, as I was about to answer I felt someone tug on my bandages as it started to fall off. Revealing the tattoo but now the tattoo had started to turn my arms skin color pure black from my hands up to my elbow, as the teacher was surprised by this as I needed to find an excuse and I need to find one fast.
: "e-e-ehrrr you see I have a case of the blackinmerlaniaarms.....syndrome." I said as I thought she would fine out but fortunately, she bought it and also did the whole class too.
: "oh I see am very sorry for forcing you to remove your bandage. Please you can go to your seat." She said with a bit of concern in her voice. As I just smirked in my mind and glared at hidan, who let me just say had a soured look on his face.
: 'hahhahahahah thank god she bought it. If not am doomed and the look on that blockhead face was priceless hahahaha but enough fun. It's time to get serious." I thought.
: "I still need to meet father Pascal." I said with a very serious but quiet tone so that I won't disturb the lecture.
: "with that settled please open your history book to chapter 123." The teacher said as she turned towards the board and started the lecture.
Time skip to the end of the lecture.
: "have a nice day everyone." Said the teacher as the lecture was all over. As I packed all my belongings from my desk and headed out the class room and headed straight towards father Pascal's office which was a short building in the school's campus. But on reaching there I had sensed something off.
: "hmmm this is strange, I can sense more than one present and all of them are not giving off pure aura but rather they are giving of a rather terrifying and dark aura. Then I need to be on my toes." I said as I reached the door or his office as I open it I was greeted by father Pascal who looked like he was waiting due to his position as he had his arm quite relaxed on the arm rest with his back lied back on his chair.
: "oh mister dante, I'm quiet grateful for you accepting my little invitation." He said.
: "of course head master, it would have been rude of me not to, but though you have me confused about one thing." I said as his shadow along with every other shadow in the room has started to behave quiet weirdly, shadow demons....
: "and what is that Dante." He said as his honest smile and aura became more dark and sinister. Then suddenly all the shadow came out and jumped toward me for an all-out frontal attack though it's nothing I can't handle, heck I just need to use a simple move.
: "that you bought friends along with you." I said as I had maneuvered all of their attacks as pascal was just there watching with amusement.
: "you guys really need to lighten up your mood don't you think." I said as I had teleported right in the center of the shadow demons as a white magic circle appeared around me.
: "MAGIC TECHIQUE: HOLY LIGHT." I shouted as the whole room lighted up and all the shadow demons had been eradicated all except for Pascal as I had jumped straight towards him as I was about to land a frontal attack.
: "you're not headmaster Pascal, you're an imposter! PHYSICAL TECHNIQUE: AURORA!" I shouted as with the of aurora I am able to increase my physical capabilities tenfold depending on my level, as I was about to deliver a devastating gab to his face, I had noticed that my body had stopped in midair as my fist was just some few inches away from his face.
: "w-what's going on I can't move." I said with great difficulty like as if the gravity around me has increased but still I was still stuck in midair.
: "good show.....JOLLY GOOD SHOW. HAHAHAHAHA." He said with a dark and sinister British as the whole building started to shake like crazy as white streams of mana started to like out from him and was it tremendous, to the point that the very air around us started to get hot, and right now his form is changing into a more demonic stature.
: "MAGIC TECHNIQUE: ICONIC FORCE!" he said in a demonic tone as I was pushed back by an invisible force, and with a blast I ended up some few blocks away from the building, well there was a building there.
: "SHIT!-ackkk" I was caught off by slamming into the side of an abandoned build.
Crack!
: "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!"
I shouted as I felt my every spine crack upon impact and I had spat out some blood as I felt my aurora was gone as my body felt too weak and then I heard his voice, as I rose my head up to see something that I couldn't believe.
: "n-no w-way y-y-you h-have it." I said in pure horror as I saw it in all of its glory; well it is my first time seeing one this complete.
: "yes I possess an arch bishop chronicle, one of the highest chronicles in the church hierarchy." he said as I could now see it in his hand as I could feel the power radiating from it, damn it.
: "for I am the zodiac sign Ares. The 11th executioner!!!" he shouted as I was in alter shock, as am in front of someone who can technically fight toe on toe with a high tier god, but if his executioner then why is he so corrupted by evil.
: "then what do you want with me!!" I shouted as what possibly he wants from a kid who is a no body.
: "it's not you am after cursed child, am after the one who holds the arch bishop chronicle, am after the one who cares for you." He said as he was charging up a massive blast, ready to turn me into ash. But I was more worried about who he speaks of.
: "FOR I AM AFTER THE ONE WHO CALLS HIMSELF THE TRUE ARCH BISHOP." He said as I tried to remember where I have heard that before. No.no.nooooo. it can't be.
: "no please leave him, please don't kill him." I pleaded with the executioner who just smirked at me as the blast was all charged up and then was aimed towards my direction.
: "I AM HERE TO EXECUTE SAINT ALFRED, TAKE HIS CHRONICLE AND GIVE IT TO THE POPE. BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN GO WARM UP HEAVEN FOR HIM!!! NOW DIE!!!!" he shouted as he threw the blast at me as it left a trail of ember and ash behind it as I just closed my eyes to get ready to me my end for I just wanted to protect them with everything I got but I guess that wasn't enough then but suddenly I saw two blurry entity one with blond hair and the other blue hair, had gotten in front of me.
: "don't worry Tobi, we will help you" huh is that big sis trinity.
: "we will always protect you dante, always." What sister rin is here to.
: "we won't let you get hurt again!" they both said in sync as I saw holy aura emit from them as trinity has a blue stream of energy emitting from her as rin own was flames then suddenly a magical circle appeared in front of us.
: "JOINT MAGIC TECHNIQUE: HOLY SANCTURY!" as the magic had neutralized the blast saving all of us from its devastating effect. As both trinity and rin had collapsed on the ground from being too exhausted but I cushioned their fall by holding them both in my arms, as I heard clapping from the executioner who heard a large grin on his face.
: "bravo! Bravo! I see you that you both are quite powerful mages I presume. but still very weak compared to m- "I saw that the executioner had dodged a very powerful attack from behind as I knew who it was.
: "I won't let you hurt them." The figure said with so much malice in its tone, as I also saw a chronicle floating next to him, the arch bishop chronicle.
: "then come at me true arch bishop for your time on this earth is all over!, come and face your judgment SAINT ALFRED!!!" he shouted as he flew up to father Alfred who also flew towards him as their impact created a massive shockwave that cleared all the clouds from the sky. As the fight became more and more catastrophic but then started to be a one sided match as father Alfred couldn't keep up with the executioner's attacks and was then forced back by him as he landed to the ground on his knees as I could feel his mana all is running out fast and the executioner had raised his hand up as a sphere of energy begin to form.
: "just give up already and accept your fate as you all a going to die hahahaha." He said as he created a large sphere of dark energy as big as the block. But I notice that father Alfred looked towards my direction as I could see the tears in his eyes but surprisingly he still had an honest smile written on his face.
: "any last words." The executioner said as he had fully charged up the sphere of destruction which was as big as the city itself, wait does he want to wipe out the city along with us. Why....why must life be trampled upon.
: "dante you were always a special boy who had a pure heart even though being hurt so much, so I leave you too take good care of trinity and rin for me and please... forgive me." He said
with tears flowing out of his eyes as I saw a strange mana emitting from him as his eyes had changed to pure white.
: "no no no NOOOO!" I shouted.
: "DIEEE!" the executioner shouted as he threw it down at us as the sphere had started leveling the sky scrapers.
: "HEAVENS CRONICLES: HOLY GRAIL!!!!" father Alfred shouted as everything went white. Hmm...... am I dead
: "NO UNFONTUNATELY, BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS SO I WILL SPARE YOU AND ANSWER ALL FOR YOU." It said as I remember him from my dream but now I can see him in a humanoid form with two gigantic scythes and a mask and the mana from him is off the scales.
: "w-who are you really." I said in a curious tone as he stood up from his sitting down position and raise both his scythe and stared at me as I felt this feeling of dominance through the air. Like as if he could kill me with his very existence.
: "I GO BY MANY NAMES SUCH AS THE REAPER, JUGDMENT AND VERY KNOWN AS AZUL." as I heard that very name azul, I felt my legs gave up and I went down on my knees as I used all my remaining strength to raise my head up as am already losing my consciousness as my vision had started to get all blurry.
: "BUT MY REAL NAME ... IS DEATH" he said as everything just went black.
