A few moments ago.
"I have to bring the medicine to my sister; she needs it today, or she'll die!" growled the boy who had become entangled in the battle that had erupted.
The boy's name was Finian, and he was only six years old. His parents had died just one month ago due to a serious accident at their workplace, so Finian had to take care of his younger sister, Aria, after that. However, his little sister had fallen ill after their parents' deaths.
They didn't have the money to buy the medication, as they only had enough for food, and that wouldn't last more than a week. That's why Finian took on small jobs that merchants asked him to do out of simple sympathy. So, after struggling for several days to buy medication for his little sister, he found himself faced with cruel men trying to assassinate the prince Gilgamesh.
All Finian could think of was to run for shelter, but at that moment, he was spotted by one of the assassins who were keeping watch in the area. They had no heart, so they tried to kill him as soon as they saw him, so after miraculously escaping the first attack, he kept moving forward.
"I'm coming, sister!"
However, due to the rain, mud had formed on the streets, and Finian, feeling his body growing heavier, succumbed to numbness. He didn't know what was happening to him, so he simply took the bag of medicine and held it tightly in his mouth as he crawled through the mud.
"Aria, my little sister..." The fierce eyes of young Finian slowly lost their sparkle, but his body kept moving forward.
At that moment, under the rain that had completely soaked his body, he felt a rush of warmth that instinctively woke him up. That source of warmth was comforting, as if it were a beautiful golden shield.
When Finian turned around, he saw a tall figure there, shining in golden light and remaining calm under the attack of the two men dressed in black. However, just when he thought they were about to be killed, the opposite happened; chains held the enemy in the air.
"It's incredibly powerful..."
"Hey, kid, what are you doing out here, and why are you fighting so hard?"
Finian, upon hearing that question, remembered why he needed to be out here and said, "My little sister needs medicine, she's waiting for me, so I have to go help her."
As he tried to stand up, Finian's weak legs couldn't bear the weight of his body, and he fell back into the mud. He pushed himself up forcefully and muttered, "My sister needs this medicine..."
"What's your name?" Gilgamesh asked, his attention on the surroundings.
"I'm Finian, and my sister's name is Aria..." Finian began to spit out dark-colored blood, indicating that the poison from the sword that had cut his eye had spread through his body.
"You foolish child, don't move and quietly drink this medicine." Gilgamesh, not caring if his clothes got dirty in the mud, knelt down and held the head of the boy who was dying from the poison of the sword that had cut his eye.
Meanwhile, ignoring the figures dressed in black flying through the sky, he handed the medicine to Finian, and the boy drank it without knowing what liquid he was ingesting.
"Die!"
"You all talk a lot in a battle…" When Gilgamesh turned and the assassins saw those eyes, they felt like their souls were crushed by a great hammer and they suddenly spat out blood.
After that, as if it were not enough, the swords in the sky fell like meteorites on the bodies of the men in black who had jumped in their direction.
Boom! Boom! Boon!
The sound of the swords hitting the ground caused the earth to burst into rubble and the bodies of the assassins were split in half. In the rain, the spilled blood was scattered on the ground and pieces of unknown men could be seen all over the place.
Gilgamesh stood up and watched this whole mess with a cold expression on his face, then he saw the long dead assassins in their chains and snapped his fingers. Seconds later, all the swords that had been cleaned by the rain disappeared from the ground including that of his enemies.
"Take me to your little sister boy, if she proves to have an ounce of courage like you then you will be accepted into my care." Gilgamesh's eyes went to Finian who was traumatized by seeing all those corpses on the ground, but after remembering his most important priority he stood up and ran forward.
"Don't stop and keep running, I'm right behind you!" When Gilgamesh's voice reached Finian's ears
"Yes!" Finian shouted between breaths.
It was then that Gilgamesh's perception noticed several figures at the end of the street and frowned: "These garbage are multiplying..."
Seeing the assassins heading in his direction, Gilgamesh looked at them from a distance and condensed a golden sword in his hand. The two assassins who were running towards him stopped as they sensed danger coming from the surroundings.
"If you don't come then I will come to you…" Gilgamesh thought with an excited smile and the sword in his hands was shot towards the first target that was closest to him.
Boom!
The blood spread slightly covering the view of the assassin to the side and Gilgamesh who took advantage of that slid at high speed.
"Where!"
"Right behind you!" Gilgamesh muttered and when the assassin's gaze turned back two immature hands held his throat like iron pincers and then blood burst out like a fountain.
"You…" The assassin only felt a warm current fall on his chest and in a short time his eyes were invaded by darkness.
"At least it's raining, the blood will be drained from my body…" Gilgamesh looked into the distance as the boy named Finian continued running and after hearing the sounds of battle he walked away from that place.
