"Hmm...you and the unconscious Khain." Finero said with a raised brow.
"Yeah..." Zeras replied with a nonchalant expression.
"Hmmm...and how are you planning on doing that." Finero questioned, his eyes seemed to glow bright for a second before it immediately vanished just like it had appeared...
Zeras gave a light chuckle, as his voice suddenly tore through the air.
"That's for me to know...and for you...to see."
Finero had a raised brow, before his eyes got narrowed.
'Why does he always act mysterious. Is it a facade or perhaps that's just his...personality.'
Finero mused to himself, as he tried to analyze Nameless.
But at the end of it all, he could only come to a conclusion. One which he was sure everyone else knew about.
And that's the fact that...Nameless is a self centered bastard, yet while he might be cruel and ruthless...his actions always seem to eventually turn out to be the greatest...variable.
Weirdly and strangely enough...
It always turns out for the greater good.
********
Light groans continuously echoed into their ears. As various World Evolvers slowly awoken from the third curse. And immediately afterwards...ten World Evolvers could be seen on the ground.
Seemingly devoid of any life...Zeras had a wide grin on his face. He tapped his feet against the ground...as he waited...and waited.
Time passed by...seconds turned to minute and minutes turned into hours.
Finally...Nameless had had enough. His legs suddenly moved, as he rose from his seated position.
He shifted his neck to the left and right hand side, before suddenly stretching his hands forth.
And immediately afterwards...everyone already knew what was going to appear.
A pair of daggers suddenly appeared in his hands...shimmering with a sharp glint. He took a step...then another. Each step only made his devilish grin grow wider.
Some couldn't even help but have a question.
'Was it a sort of weird fetish of his...or what.'
But it seems...they will never find out.
Zeras hands immediately pieced forth, within the breathe of some seconds. His daggers had already pierced through the ten World Evolves that had succumbed to the grasp of the third curse.
"Does anyone have any objection?" For the first time ever, Zeras asked for...the others opinion.
Yet this time around...he was met with defeaning silence. The silence had never been any deadlier...it was eerie silent...as even Rosaline simply had a cold look on her face...her eyes were facing the left hand side...maybe to avoid Zeras devilish grin or perhaps to avoid the shame...the humiliation...and the fate of not being able to save those they had vowed to protect.
Whichever one it is...it was clear as day...Nameless didn't give a damn about either.
His hands immediately brought out the ten origin cores. He had a wide grin on his face...and before one could even blink twice.
The ten origin cores had already disappeared from sight. He had a light smile on his face as he dusted his hands.
Rising onto his feet...he glanced at the Tree Of Nightmare, his voice immediately tore through the air.
"I am sure you have all seen the dreadful tree that towers over the Heavens. And for some that are wondering what the nightmarish tree is...then congrats, cause it's none other than the Tree Of Nightmare. Oh and also did I forget to mention."
A wide grin spread across his face, as he paused for a second.
The tension weighing upon the entire World Evolvers.
'Bastard! Just spit it out.' Some couldn't help but yell within them.
Yet it seems that none of them dared to say it before him.
'Foolish hypocrites.' Zeras glanced at some of the World Evolvers with obvious disdain, before his voice suddenly tore through the air.
"Anyways as I was saying...before I was interrupted by fate.
He teased, before he further added.
"The Nightmarish tree is not only the Tree Of Nightmare...also known as the Souls Of Enthrallment which the runes want us to eradicate...but it's probably also the cause of the anomality of the dream realm. Hence do you know what this means...although it would be very hard...perhaps impossible for us to defeat the Souls Of Enthrallment. But once we do...it would be the same as killing two birds with one stone..."
Everyone assessed and analyzed what Nameless had just said. And indeed...they found reasoning in it.
'But...How could they defeat such a terrifying creature.'
When just by staring at it...they would feel as though they stood before the Heavens themselves....it was as though they were mortals caught staring at a...God!
And when a mortal stares at a God...the consequences is truly a dire one. One which anyone wouldn't want to...even unfortunately encounter.
Yet...the same could be said for what they were attempting. They weren't even in the same class with the...Seouls Of Enthrallment.
The gap between them and the Tree Of Nightmare was perhaps even higher than the Heavens themselves.
Yet this didn't seem to stop Zeras from trying to accomplish such an...impossible task.
And with the looks of it...he seems to be very confident in succeeding.
'But what the hell could be giving him such...confidence. And...is it really confidence or...pure madness.'
Rosaline gave a deep exhalation, before she suddenly spoke.
"So what's the plan. I assume you should have a plan since you seem so confident in eradicating such a dreadful entity..."
Zeras gave a light chuckle, before his voice tore through the air.
"Confident...I don't even have an ounce of confidence in defeating the Tree Of Nightmare."
'Only those who have truly experienced its terror...would understand how fruitless such an attempt is...'
Rosaline had a narrowed brow, as she suddenly spoke.
"You have got to be kidding, right?"
Zeras shook his head as he spoke.
"Do I look like I am joking...Anyways you can choose to believe in us or not...but I can't assure you all of success. So you should all be prepared to die should we be met with failure."
"Hmm-us." Rosaline's voice echoed out.
"Yeah...Khain and I" Zeras immediately replied with a light smile on his face.
It seemed as though only when he talked about his brother...would he even be happy and...non inhuman.
"But...Khain is still unconscious." One of the World Evolvers finally managed to say the words that weighed upon his mind.
Zeras glanced at the World Evolver, his voice immediately tore through the air.
"Yeah...I am well aware of that."
He paused for a second before his voice responded through the entire area.
"He will have awoken before then..."
He immediately turned back...as his voice lingered in the air.
"Haezel...start moving. The fourth curse should be arriving any time soon.
I can feel it..."
