As Maximum went down the failure path. Sad eyes glared at him in horror. That path was meant for the truly lost.
As Maximum continued down he felt a presence similar to that of Rex. When he turned around, a Demon King was behind him.
"Loser." The Demon King said in anger.
Maximum felt the anger from the Demon King. He had no intention of trying to reply currently.
"Only Losers take the failure path without knowing how they truly did. What is worst is that the women close to you, will now have to know you abandoned them for a bitch."
Maximum was not going to allow this continue.
"Well, I lost the will to continue down a path where I would have lost. So I gave myself a victory by going down the loser's path!" Maximum retorted angrily.
The Demon King did not take what Maximum said to heart.
"Show the results." The Demon King commanded.
A paper came into Maximum's hands. The paper showed that Maximum had indeed gotten all the questions correct from the trials.
"Then what about the bloody trail?"
"That was to prove your will."
Maximum finally understood the process. By testing both Will and mentality, people learn who they truly are.
"So I failed the Will to continue down the right path. Oh well, it is what it is." Maximum continued onwards.
Maximum went down after walking into the back of the Demon King.
"What happened?" Maximum growled.
"It is time to suffer your loss. Come along." The Demon King commanded.
Maximum's body did whatever it could to follow the Demon King. Screams of terror could be heard from the depths of despair.
Maximum knew that he too would be going down that way.
He could not get his body to turn and take a nose dive. When they finally arrived, at their destination. A welcoming pair of red eyes greeted them.
"Welcome Demon King of the Forbidden Area." The pair of eyes said.
"Dracul make sure to keep this human alive. You can drain him of nearly all of his blood." The Demon King replied.
The vampire latched unto Maximum. The blood drained him of his capacity to fight back. To make matters worst, there was no way for him to fight back.
"This is the price of my loss. I just hope that Rex understands." Maximum thought.
Maximum fell down unconsciously.
"Sire, do you intend to let him go into the path of the victory?" Dracul asked.
"Of course. That will be the loss of his. Enough Willpower can fight against my command. Take him, make sure to chain him into the path and allow whoever to drag him." The Demon King said.
"As you will, I obey."
Dracul sat Maximum into a wheelchair type artifact. Instead of the wheels turning the seat itself wheels the artifact wherever the host wants it to.
Dracul started the artifact and the duo started towards the path of success. Maximum had the worst migraine anyone could have.
All of his blood was either drained or headed straight for his brain. Since he had no idea of where he was going.
He had no way to effectively stop and fight. So he continued with Dracul and when a moment of rest came.
"This is your exit." Dracul said.
Maximum already had the damage to him done. When he looked up, the sky was glistening, not a shadow around, and something felt better here.
Maximum tried to stand up but his body failed. He ended up crawling to a tree. When he effectively got his back against the tree.
"Congratulations Maximum!"
"You have received the gift of Success for completing the Trials of Long Mùchén with success."
"You were supposed to receive Seishi as a Soul Mate with no strings attached. You decided to turn against yourself."
"Despite that, we have concluded that she does not need to be in your life. So we will effectively be taking her away starting tomorrow."
Maximum felt his heart stop beating. He would rather die than know that he cannot be by her side.
"Please do not take what I have worked away. I would rather be tormented by the screams of terror for eternity rather than live peacefully and not have Seishi in my life." Maximum pleaded.
"Foolish Mortal, do you still dare to fight against your family?"
"Why would you care about a woman whose life has no meaning rather than your wife and daughter?"
Maximum took a breath and said, "I loved Seishi longer than my current wife. I also love my daughter but I would rather have the best thing that ever happen to me being Seishi's return to my side."
"Indeed a foolish Mortal. You have lost not only your wife and daughter's trust but also Seishi's make sure to tell the reasoning to all of them together."
Maximum was sent out and all three of the ladies were next to each other looking at Maximum with worried eyes.
