Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

They arrived at the door of her room.

Diana let go of his arm, slowly reaching his hand to hold it.

"I will look for you tomorrow morning," she said smiling.

"I will be in the forest, where we first met," speaking slowly.

"Yes, I still can't imagine we ended up like this after that," she giggled.

Cayn moved the hair off her face, got closer, and kissed her forehead gently.

"I-I will go in then, good night," she nervously spoke.

"Sleep well," he patted her.

Diana went inside her room fidgeting, laying her back on the door she closed for a moment.

She breathed a heavy sigh and threw herself in the bed. A peaceful moment before her mind reminisced today's events, making her heart race once again.

Whilst he stared at the door for a moment, before finally walking away a bloody and mysterious smile appeared on his face.

---

Cayn went outside to meet up with Shiro, who waited there patiently, jumping on Cayn's shoulder in his cat form, as they walked towards the exit of the palace.

---

Shiro didn't say a word until they arrived in an empty area in the forest.

He got down, while Cayn kept walking ahead, finally stopping after a moment.

Shiro transformed into his original form, but this time he was even more huge, black flames raged from his fur englobing his entire body, his beast-like teeth appeared, growling heavily, and his blue eyes became serious as he stared at Cayn's back.

Cayn stood there, stretching his wrists, warming them up, slowly turning around to meet Shiro face to face. He was smiling, bloody, and menacing.

A villain.

Shiro staggered a bit at the sight of those bloodthirsty eyes, but right after he came back to himself, as he charged at Cayn at an astonishing speed.

"Now, now," said Cayn smiling, disappearing appearing next to Shiro, whose eyes were too slow to react.

"You will bore me if you don't take this seriously."

Thud.

Shiro's entire body flew away destroying everything on its way, landing at the feet of a mountain.

Cayn slowly flew next to him, who was shaking as he stood up. He raised his eyes to see Cayn staring at him with a smile, he roared madly.

The roar shook the entire forest, whereas all the beasts and monsters woke up running away in shock, terrified.

Cayn appeared once again in front of Shiro's enormous head, raised his hand slowly, and slapped him hard on the face.

Everything happened so fast for Shiro to stop his roar, flying once again a distance away.

Cayn massaged his neck, breathing a sigh of disappointment, "So much for a god."

Such words may only be said by Cayn, the exception of all. If it were anyone else, their heads would be flying by merely the mind-killing intent of Shiro, but now he couldn't even react to his speed, and Cayn was still not taking him seriously.

Shiro stood up slowly, he didn't say a word till now, it seems this situation is not unfamiliar to him, the change of Cayn when he finds an entertaining opponent.

A Cayn other than the cold and indifferent one.

The one in front of him right now was a monster hungry for blood.

He sighed heavily, he may die, those were always his thoughts whenever he spared and trained with Cayn. A spar? No, it was never like that, it was only him trying his best not to be hunted by Cayn, he was merely prey to him.

Shiro's eyes became terrifying, the darkness of the night around them formed around his mouth, and his beast-like teeth bit it, making it form a giant sword. His entire body stomped the ground at the weight of the dark sword, he held it high, absorbing more and more dark energy, until it grew even higher than the mountains around them. Thousands of other black swords formed in the skies covering miles around them.

Shiro flew, an air of divinity surrounded him as if he looked over the entire world.

A thousand swords fell like heavy rain, each one of them was so big and strong that could destroy the royal palace in one swoop, yet thousands of them rained on Cayn.

The living beings of the forest all shook at such a sight, already giving up on making it out alive of this place, The merchants and knight who were traveling alongside the royal road watched such a scene in marvel, while they tried their best to get away as far as they could.

Shiro held the huge sword between his teeth furiously, not controlling the madness in his eyes, as he swung it in the air.

As if the entire forest lost its voice, a moment of silence filled it, before a huge slash appeared where Shiro swung.

It looked like a cut in the void, it raged madly as the sound came back to the scene, destroying the eardrums of everyone witnessing the sight.

The black slash, absorbed everything around it sharpening its edges, before making its way towards Cayn violently. The air around it vibrated aggressively, the entire forest cracked, shook, and trembled at its strength.

Cayn's hair and jacket were dancing with the air around him, "I guess the little puppy grew a bit."

He opened his arms wide, his shirt shredded a bit, showing his monstrous ripped back.

He started smiling like a mad man, as his muscled flexed and pumped up, veins filled his entire body till they reached his hands and fingers. He suddenly brought his hands together at a fast speed, piercing the wind around them and making a hissing sound.

Clap.

The world stopped breathing for a moment, giving birth to a huge shockwave, that erased everything on its way, its terrifying sound slowly roared as it grew bigger, making its way towards the sword slash making all the other swords disappear without putting up a fight.

Finally reaching the huge sword, it wasn't any different from the others, crushed, disappearing without a sound.

Shiro stood himself in the air, raised his sword high, swinging it clashing with the shockwave, he fought it for a moment with all his being but he was still being pushed away till it disappeared on its own.

Shiro was flying, his body was cut everywhere with small lines of blood.

He was panting, trying to catch his breath.

"I guess it's finally time to teach you something new."

Cayn's voice shook the entire forest.
