"please send my regards to him... now Perish." He unleashed a torrent blast of white flames that started to burn my parent, as I stared in shock, fear, sadness, grief. I felt my skin burn more and my eyes start to turn black, as I continued to hear the screams of my parents fill the air... my parents were gone, I felt something in my very core snap in two, as I immediately turned into a monstrous being that broke out of the cage and was growing bigger and bigger. I launched at victor with killer intent as I was about to chomp on him, but then his missionary workers came to his aid, but were immediately destroyed by me and eaten up, but before I could turn my attention towards victor, he ran at me with a white flaming sword that severed my left horn and upon impact, had threw me towards the church wall, that led out of the church.
"don't let him escape!" victor roared at his minions, as they all started to summon chains that bounded me to the ground, but before they could reach me, I roared at they and destroyed all the chain, as I made my way towards the forest. "you will not escape me you monster, you are my greatest work."
He started to incinerate the whole forest in hopes of slowing me down, but instead, I flung my arm at him; releasing a might wind gale and shock wave that shook the entire town district. Victor couldn't hold himself against the force but before he was knocked out of conscious, you stare at me on last time, to witness a shocking revelation.
'.... The process hasn't fully taken place... And he already has this much power... I will never let you lose, I will find you.'
"project zero!"
-----------------
Still in dream space
.....
"aaaaaaahhhhh!" Zero roared and roamed through the forest in his demonic appearance, as he continues to make his way deeper into the forest . He thoughts where overwhelmed with anger, rage, fear, hurt and conflictions.
He left a trail of dead and destruction along his path , frightening even be strongest and most terrifying beasts in the woods. But then,
he stumbled upon a guild camping site and had instantly gotten the attention of them all.
"oh my God! We're under attack!" one of the mercenaries shouted, alerting all the remaining mercenaries, as they all drew there weapons, summoned magic circles and had changed their forms to those of giants. "stand your ground guy! We can take this beast head on!"
"Yeah! Just imagine the worth of this... Strange class of hamji!" another of the mercenary replied with confidence and greed written on his face. Zero continued to stare at them, but then saw that one of the mercenary had lunged at him, resulting to him roaring out in rage and had now gone berserk. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
The force of his roar was so furious, that it shook the whole portion of the forest they were on. As this sudden action had stunt some of the mercenary at the display of such raw power, as in a flash zero had vanished immediately through the whole guild as he landed and came to a stop in front of a aurora user, as the ones that were caught in his immediate action had instantly turned into a mist of blood. The aurora user couldn't see his action too, as the mercenary was struck with a fist through his chest.
"o-oh no, RETREAT! RETREA-?!" The person that had called for the retreat was instantly torn from limb to limb, as zero continued his merciless rampage, but then was confined by large flaming chain, that constricted his movements, as the person that casted the move had a smug on his face, and then alerted his comrades.
"NOW FINISH HIM OFF!" he shouted out, as they all charged towards zero at once in hopes to finish him off once and for all.
Zero saw this and with one more night struggle, he release a roar that went through the whole forest and had pushed back all if their attacks. The mage confining him saw the destructive power of the roar and was scared by this.
"J-just what beast are yo-." The mage was caught off, as he was viciously attacked by a hamji, as before they all knew it, hamjis had started to go rampant and were attacking all of the mercenaries, as zero destroyed the chains that held him. The hamjis had now started to drag away all the corpses of the mercenaries away, as one of them caught sight of this and took his view towards zero; who stood up while roaring to the sky like an alpha... Hamji. The remaining was surprised by this in awe and shock.
'it can't be... It can't be possible, how can it exist now! Has it already been a Millennia, I need to warn the king!' the remaining mercenary was scared, as a hamji was about to attack him, but he managed to fend them all off. Zero turned towards his direct, emitting huge waves of energy; as zero started to walk towards the mercenary direction with an intent to kill and this feeling had somehow influenced the hamjis around too, towards the mercenary, almost like as if zero was.... Controlling there actions.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER! MAGIC TECHNIQUE: HOLY ART: LIGHT SNIPER!!" he casted a holy light that seemed to be moving at light speed, tearing through the wave of hamji and also through zero's right leg. Though the rest of the hamjis had reached the mage mercenary and had started to reap him to shreds and devour him. Zero whereas screamed in pain, scaring off the hamjis away from this location. His screams and roar echoed through the forest, as he was in great pain by the holy magic.
But the zero was now eventually losing mana, due to the injury. Then some time had passed, as he made his way to the side of a tree to rest. But shortly after that he heard the bush rustling, and this had put him on guard... But to his surprise, it was not a mercenary or a hamji... Instead it was a blond nun, that seems to be in her early twenties, while wearing a light blue coloured attire. He started to panic and roar at her, but this didn't scare her one bit... Instead of having a horrified look on her face, she had a peculiar look on her face, as she had a calming and welcoming smile on her face, and a merciful look in her eyes.
She made her way towards him and had knelt down to see his injury, zero was so confused by this but just as he was about to attack her due to fear... she started to emitting a light bluish ray of light from her hand, and had placed them on his injury... And to his surprise, a holy magic that could kill a might beast like him... Was healing him.
After she was done, she brought up her basket and brought out an apple to give zero, as he continued to stare at her with an... Awe look, he took the apple from her hands with no fear. She stood up back from her kneeling position and had started to make her way back from where she came from, but then as she turned back she saw that zero was following her, a demonic entity that knew only destruction was now calm and collected as he continued to eat the apple little by little and tried not to gulp all of it down fast. She smiled at this and turned back to him, but then she saw something in his eyes that... Just felt lost... Just like her when, after father Michael's death.
"you can eat it all okay, I have lots more if you want." She said cheerfully, as zero nodded his head, and but just as she turned to get another apple for him, when she turned back to him... She was very shocked by what she saw... That the once monstrous being was now a naked child, with a severed left horn and a full right horn. The child continued to eat the apple with his very pointed teeth. She immediately brought out a sheet of cloth from the basket and then clothed his nakedness.
"Thank you...?" he started off, as the nun stared at him with shock but then smiled at him and stood up properly.
"Mia,
"....zero... Just zero." He said with a grin, as she smiled lovingly towards him, making him blush a little. "h-hey! Don't do that okay."
"is someone shy." She teased him, but he just grinned again, and threw away the finished apple.
"yeah yeah, can I have another apple sister Mia." He asked with a thankful smile, which was accepted by Mia who handled him another apple.
"No problem... Zero."
End of dream space
Zero snapped back to reality, as he was hearing the roars of the crowd and some background drums. He felt his limbs all chained up and he was shirtless, feeling the cold cement side of the alter he was chained to.
He finally opened his eyes to see that he was on top of a very wide stage, with missionary workers securing the side as we were in front of a massive crowd. But then his eyes then landed upon sister Mia; who was chained at the centre and was seen to be stripped into a white garment that didn't do well to cover her body very well.
"no no NOOOOO! SISTER MIA!" zero had tried to ripe the chains from his arms, but then he noticed that the chain was nailed through his arm in a loop; making it impossible to free himself. "please sister Mia get up... Please!"
"now the time has come! For the two plagues that bewitched our precious land, shall now be purified into a marvellous blessing!" victor announced to the crowd in his proper priestly uniform, as the crowd had cheered, why zero on the other hand was now shouting and roaring out in rage, trying to remove the chain by force but the blood had just started to outflow from it.
"VICTORRR!!!! IIF YOU DARE TOUCH HER I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" zero threatened out to victor, who just smile and ignored him; as the people were now even more angry by what zero said and were now demanding for them to be killed.
"hush dear one, if you insist of her freedom, then every well." Victor responded, as he waved his hand and the chain around her had disappeared into thin air. 'not yet'
As the crowd started to boo the priest and were already rioting.
"RUN SISTER MIA, RUN!!" zero shouted with tears in his eyes, as Mia started to crawl... Towards him, as she smiled in a thankful way. "NO NO NOOO, SISTER MIA PLEASE GO!"
".... Zero, I'm very sorry but I can't... Because you mean so much to me, I won't leave you... No matter what..." she said as she made her way towards him, still weak but determined. Zero started to cry out in grief and sorrow, as the time that they had together started to race through his mind.
Sudden flashback
Back on the farm
" sister mia... Will you ever leave me?" zero ask in hope, and she responded never.
" But why...?" he asked further, as she just smiled towards him.
"because
Change of scene to the orphanage
I.....
Change of scene to the market
Will...
Change of scene to the forest
Always....
Change of scene to the town's gate
Love...
Change of scene back to the farm
You... And that will never change... Brother."
End of flashback
Zero opened his eyes to see her already hugging him, as she rested his head on her chest and comfort him.
"and that will never change... Brother." She said, as zero was brought to tears and some of the crowd... Were amazed by the compassion and love they saw, but some were just disgusted.
.
.
.
'perfect... holy art: absolute absorption... Rekindled flames.' "... Set ablaze!" victor casted, throwing out his arms to the heavens. As before everyone notice, a sister Mia instantly turned into... Shining Golden dust and was absorbed into a ball of pure... Mana... Her mana, as zero froze in shock and the crowd roared out from their silent in celebration. 'this should do the job.'
The crowd continued to cheer but then the sky started to turn pitch black, even the night sky was filled with darkness. As zero body started to burn off, leaving a dark surface in its place, his horns became complete as his eyes was now purely red. The blood from his body came out to form a dark dome of rotten blood, that drenched the air, as the whole crowd were scared of what they were seeing.
"It's happening, finally... The beast of Terror... The greatest general and rival of apollyn... The millennia conqueror... Shall arise again, Ragnarok!"
