[----Are dead]
Eleri couldn't believe what she heard and she kept thinking in her head 'Dead? How could they die? They're strong, so how….why?!Why why why?!'
She clenched her chest and only felt pain and anger surge in her heart
Not caring for her tears she gritted her teeth and murderous intent emitted from her as she growled and asked "Draven, who killed them?"
Draven was silent and Eleri became even more angry as she once again repeated "Who killed them?!"
Draven finally couldn't hold it back in and said [It was the two member of the seven deadly sin, the sin of lust and the sin of sloth]
Without hesitation Eleri stood up, wiped her tears away and held her sword and was about to ask Draven where they are when suddenly a cool touch made her tremble and subconsciously pointed her sword towards that direction only to see the child flinch and fall to the ground, terrified
Eleri was startled and apologized but the child suddenly screamed and said "Don't come near me! I don't wanna get hurt! No! NO!"
Surprised flashed in Eleri's eyes as she saw pure fear in the child's eyes
Eleri suddenly remembered her past and couldn't help recalling the scene where a child like her was screaming frantically but was futile as he was killed mercilessly
Eleri opened her lips and wanted to coax the child but then the ground shook violently and Draven;s warning came to her ears
Draven: [That child is dangerous! He's the disaster himself!]
Eleri wanted to question Draven but she then instinctively jumped away from the child as suddenly red butterflies started appearing one another from the child's tears that turned blood red
Eleri was terrified when she saw this and just in time she saw a paper and brush appear out of thin air landing on the child's hand
The child was still crying and shaking in fear as he threatened weakly "If- if you hurt me again…I- I'll kill you!"
After saying this the child started to paint while Eleri kept dodging the red butterflies sensing that if it touched her it's her end
Just as she was dodging Eleri caught a glimpse at what the child was painting and saw--
'It's…me?'
Draven: [Eleri! You must prevent him from finishing the painting orf else you'll die!]
Eleri wanted to ask Draven how he knew about these things but instead she paused and stood steadily
Draven was bewildered by her actions and roared [What are you doing? Do something!]
But all of Draven's call was futile as Eleri suddenly smiled and walked towards the child slowly with her sword dropped on the ground
The child was surprised but still screamed "Don't come near me! I don't want pain!"
Just as he screamed the red butterflies immediately started to fly towards Eleri one after another
One landed on her shoulders and Eleri screamed in pain but gritted her teeth as she kept moving forward
The other butterflies also landed one after another turning Eleri's body into blood red and soon parts of her body disappeared but even so she still persisted and walked towards the child staggeringly
Just as she reached the child the child also finished the painting and was about to land the brush that turned red when suddenly he fell into a warm embrace
The child was shocked and struggled but Eleri didn't let go as she smiled and comforted him patiently "It's alright now, your safe"
The child froze as he heard this and Eleri continued "You won't feel pain anymore, you can go to my friends, they are good people, they will accept you wholeheartedly"
Slowly the red butterflies disappeared from Eleri's body but that didn't stopped the blood from flowing out
Eleri coughed out blood as her face turned pale and her eyes started to turn dull but she still smiled and said "It's sad that I couldn't get to help you, nor can I avenge my friends that died now, but I still believe that my other friends will avenge them for me…"
Raising her head Eleri hugged the child as tears rolled down her eyes staring at the moon as she said weakly "If there is still a god out there, I hope that this child won't feel pain anymore"
She thought 'You might not have helped me before when I was in pain, but that does not mean I would let others go through the same process as me'
Without knowing when Eleri fell to the ground as she still kept her smile
She don't know if it's true but she faintly saw the change of expression the child has, it seemed to be crying for her, guilt, and pain
No…don't be in pain…I swear that I wouldn't give you pain anymore…
With that last thought she lost consciousness.
The child was trembling and he kept pushing Eleri trying to wake her up but all he got was no response
The child started to cry again and this time he screamed more fiercely as the ground shook violently and started to be destroyed.

Hearing a fierce scream Caesar and Nouvel turned their heads towards that direction and frowned
Caesar said "That voice, seems to be from a child"
Nouvel furrowed his eyebrow as he thought 'Why would there be child here'
Without a second thought both of them dashed towards the sound.

Cough!
Kayluss coughed a mouthful of blood before suddenly he realized whose string was cut this time and he couldn't help feeling numb all over his body
Eru felt the strangeness in Kayluss and asked with a frown "Who died this time?"
Who would've thought that he would regret his indifferent words as Kayluss mouthed the name
"L, she died"
