Chapter 28 - Regrets

The blood core moon POV

He died the one who created me and gave me strength through killing I remember the years passing from galaxy to galaxy. He took care of me throughout the years treating me as a friend instead of a slave or servant he truly cared about me. I only wish I could have saved him.

I look up with tears flowing out of my eyes towards the humans who caused Devaks death. I know it's not all their fault but my anger tells me to kill them now. I hold myself back and let sorrow consume me pulling out the core of my being and try to crush it but it only cracks.

I try with all my strength but I can't do it so I toss it at the humans and say "Destroy this when you can." I then fly to my main body and cry wishing to die but knowing that I can't. I wait for years hoping that he will just come back later then usual but he never shows up and my sorrow just gets deeper then I feel something crack and I smile for the last time.

Cruxio's View

I see what looks like a human holding his body crying tears of blood releasing an aura that destroys the atoms around them forcing us to retreat. We hear them crying how this was all a game and why did he die for real. I realize that all this has been a game to them till Devaks who was important to them died.

They look at us yelling how its all our fault reaches into their own chest pulling out something round from where their heart should be and try to crush it but can't. I see them throw it at us and say Destroy this which I realize is what is equivalent to their heart. They then fly away i run to Devaks corpse and remember how he tried his best to make us all stronger and how he recorded videos to help others learn.

He died way too soon. I then hear Yumina's screech of pain as I was absorbed in my own pain. I go to her and hug her saying maybe he will come back. He always surprises us doesn't he. Devaks wouldn't just leave us like this would he.O grab the core seeing it shift from red to purple and back with blue in the core swishing around.

It has been a year and I have started teaching a class on how to raid dungeons at first it was very painful but now I look for any reminders of our close friend who saved ours lives many times. Over the years the core has slowly turned a purple and is almost purely that color except a small bit in the core being blue. The cracks in it have also never healed symbolizing it's broken heart I think.

I wish I could comfort it but I have no clue where it even is. Also dungeons are no longer breaking open and releasing monsters but I encourage everyone to keep getting stronger. For we were warned by the Human like thing that loved Devak that something was coming.

Who could have predicted that without Devak here we all would drift apart each absorbed into their own sorrows. I have tried my best to find a way to bring the dead back to life but the only I found was through retrieving the soul right as they died but that can't work for he has been long dead.

It is so hard to let go that I dwelled deeper into the secrets of death and it is harming my life force but I do not care as long as I find a way to get him back so that we can go dungeon raiding like brothers again. With him I felt as if I had someone who would always have my back through thick and thin.

Yumina's PoV

I established mage academy far from where he died because it is the only way I can forget his loving smile towards me as he died because the only way I can withstand the pain is to think he hated me. I still wonder why he left me. I was hopeful untill the end of year after his death then I lost myself.

I became cold hateful and malicious toward everyone even my students making them suffer and get stronger but I also knew some force was invading. I did my best to teach and stop hurting my students it worked for another year. I only wish it had been me instead of the man I wanted to spend my life with.

I locked myself in my tower during the third year and remembered the time we almost kissed but got interrupted. I wish I just went through with it because we never had another chance. Just the next week he would die. If only I could tell myself to stop him and marry him then.

I never wanted to force him but now I wish I did then at least I might have something to remember him by but I can only replay all the memories that passed for the year to come locked in my tower alone with my sorrow and self hatred.

Kylog PoV

He was my teacher he taught me to be myself with everyone to not hide myself in a cage. I wish I had gotten to know him better so that I could go over his life in my mind and realize how he turned out to be so selfless but the only time he talked was in his sleep and that seemed like a nightmare if a life.

If what I heard is true I can only hope he comes back so I can comfort him and tell him it's not his fault. I isolated myself on an island with a kid I adopted. The reason I did so was because he looked so much like Devak that I couldn't help but remember him each time I saw the kid I named Gevak as a tribute to my friend and teacher.

I wonder if he is in heaven or hell I sure hope it is heaven. On the third year I get a call from Cruxio and he tells me that Yumina committed suicide by starvation. I cry and say "I will come visit you Cruxio please don't leave me yet."
