'THE NERVE OF THIS HUMAN….
'finally we at making progress, well I guess that the least I can give you is to cancel your rent for this month so there… deal given hahahaha… see ya.' He said in a cocky tone and disappeared from the dream space.
'HOW DARE HIM FOOL ME, HE WILL PAY!!!' my voice shaken the whole dream space.
Dante p.o.v
After coming back from the dream space, I got up from my bed and walked towards my wardrobe and brought out a ring with weird engravings on it.
: "I just hope that it can work... when I need it… I hope." I stared at the ring and then put it in my travelling bag
------------------
Dante p.o.v:
In the morning:
I felt the warm and calming rays of the morning sun graze over my face which always feels me true inner peace, as it felt that I could just spend my day in bed…. But I can't relax while my dear family struggle to provide, even iris helps out in reducing the work load on our mother. Though most of the pressure is being exerted on my father, who is currently trying to keep up with the aggressive labor; the empire has forced on us. But I will change that, I will make sure that I carry all the burden upon myself, because just seeing them struggle, shedding both sweat and blood to provide… along with being treated like, livestock's, just reminds me of them.
"I just hope you both aren't being treated like this… I really miss you both." I stood up from my bed with a feeling of sadness with just thought of them suffering just like him and his new family, as I made my way towards the table with a golden ring close to my travelling bag; that had silver engravings on it, which says 'my sins' being craved on it.
"hmmmm my sins, I guess I have no choice… besides it should be able to get a hold on my power, at least to a certain degree without making every living thing aware of my power." I picked up the ring, and slide it into my index finger as the ring grew an ominous bright golden light then illuminated the whole room.
"I seal my sins, to never be overcome by this…. I seal my power, to rise above the highest tower…. I seal my fate, even when blinded with hate." I chanted as i was encased with a blinding light that changes it colors but then started to fade little by little and the ominous glow had seized to reveal my arm having veins of 5 different colors stretching from my right shoulder to my right hand; which now possess 5 rings at each of my fingers and each glowing with different auras.
'INDEX FINGER – RING OF RAGE – RED
MIDDLE FINGER – RING OF DECAY – BLACK
RING FINGER – RING OF PLAGUE -- GOLDEN YELLOW
PINKY FINGER – RING OF MALICE – CYAN
THUMB – RING OF CURSE – PURPLE.'
I stared at the rings with a stoic expression as I could feel their magic restricting my mana flow.
'Perfect, it works.' I thought, as I could now carryon my travel.
'IT IS DONE BRAT, THE RINGS ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SEAL ABOUT 60% OF MY POWERS FLOWING IN YOU… BUT BE WARNED JUST BECAUSE YOU MANAGED TO RESTRICT MY MANA, DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WILL NOT STILL BE APART OF YOU. SO TAKE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING YOUR EMOTIONS.' Death warned me on still being cautious on the way I control them.
'I understand, remember that all those years in limbo had helped me in controlling my mana flow, because after the fight with Asterix, I actually learnt how to handle my mana flow quiet well.' I responded to his warning as I could feel a presence heading close to my room though I had already knew who it was.
"Ehm bro are you okay? Because I saw a bright light coming out of your window on my way home, so is everything okay in there, come on at least open the door! Dante, open this door." Iris demanded for me to open the door as I just headed toward the door to attend to her.
"Ugh seriously, I'm okay iris." I tried to convince her so that she won't see that I had already left but from the way it looks, it seems that she won't let this down.
"Stop playing dante and open this door right now… or else." She demanded with a smile and had summoned her chronicle; which she attained about 4 weeks ago at least she didn't have to train for 1000 years to get hers… lucky.
"or else what iris, because I told you that my room is off limit to you since you always seem to find a way to blow it up… apparently." I responded to her threat in a serious tone but it seems that it didn't convince her.
"One" she exclaimed as I could feel her mana flow rising.
"Two" this time it seems that she had rested her palm on the door with sparks of light in the air.
"Iris stop it." I tried to convince her again but it seems that I was given a deaf ear, but that was until i had an idea.
"nullification reign" I casted quietly as the spell had cancel out her magic just in time and like that I heard her moving back; ready to ram the door open with her magic enhancement skill I had taught her, which was a bad idea but will help her in her chances of getting into the school.
"Three! CHARGE!" she exclaimed and had charged in but before that could happen, I had opened it before she had blown it a way and had moved away from the door.
"kyaa!!!" she fell hard to the ground with a painful thud and had started to rub her head and butt as it was in pain from falling.
"Hahaha …. I hope you enjoyed your fall hahaha." I tried so desperately not to laugh…. But failed at do that.
"Ouch…h y-you tricked me… now I have a sore butt and head ache." She pouts and then I had suppressed my laughter as I assisted iris off the ground but in doing so; she had spotted the rings that I should have covered up
"w-what is up with your right arm, dante kun." She said in a worried tone but I just wrapped it was some rags I got not that while and had started to change my cloths as she then sat on my bed still with a worried expression.
"You don't need to know at least for now, and what was your reason for coming here." I stared at her with a serious expression on my face as she had bowed her head down with a nervous expression.
"W-well it's just that after the stunt that the collector had showcase… well it really had affected mom and dad; because now dad has now increased the rate of harvest alone and uncle suzoku said that he won't be able to make it because of some personal issues but mom is just…. With an emotionless expression and has been crying a lot later… so I just came to check up on you." She was now even more worried by this and this situation just angered me as I started to pack some of my equipment into my travelling bag as this had shocked iris.
"A-are you leaving?" Iris exclaimed and I just stared at her with a stoic expression and nodded in response.
"b-but you're just youn-." She couldn't complete her sentence as I had caught her off and had finished packing my equipment into my travelling bag and swung it over my shoulder.
"Don't worry too much iris… remember that I had promised to find a solution to this problem and I will not rest till I have found it. So please just do me two favors before I leave." She raised her head up to look at me as she had some few tears in her eyes and which pains me to see that they were not tears of just but they were tears….. Of despair.
"s-sure dante kun." She responded as I had dropped my bag on the table and heard begin to walk towards her.
"Firstly don't let them know or tell them that I am gone for a while at least… okay." I said as I was already close to her.
"o-okay I will try." She responded with a determined smile on her beautiful face that just instantly melted my heart.
"But what is the second favo-." She was caught off by a hug from me and which she had gladly returned with the same amount of force.
"Take care iris, I love you." I said to her with a calm and smoothing tone to ease her worries and to my surprise… it worked.
"I love you to dante kun." She said with tears coming down her face as we let go of the hug and I then took my bag and gave her a small nod and she returned it back to me as I just smiled to this and faced the open window.
'Are you ready… death?' I asked death with a serious tone in my voice
'OFCOURSE I AM BRAT. ARE YOU?' Death responded with a serious tone.
'Is that even a question?' I ran for the window and had jumped off the window to the ground and had started to make my way towards the forest close to my family's farm as I turned back to see iris waving at me from far as i took a look at my home… my new home.
"I promise… that I won't fail this time." I said as I vanished from sight.
