Sébastien, petrified by his fuming eyes, asked. "What happened to the girl who gave you medicine?"
Eros displayed a wicked grin and replied. "Well, the girl. Keke! She got what she deserved.
Everyone was quiet, like a statue, when they heard it. No one uttered a single word.
The tension was building, and finally Eros spoke in deathly silence. " After my mother's funeral, dad and I were separated in our own ways. He chose to devote himself to alcohol, and he quit his bank job. And I resigned as a hunter. "
"In the meantime, I started looking for those Magus who were responsible for my mother's death. The government of Ricco blessed those Magus transactional immunity. Their reason was simple: those potions eradicated enemy soldiers. So the government did nothing. "
" It took me two years to trace them. Finally, I did it. Perhaps it was the last time my dad and I had talked since mom's death. "
Eros reminisced about his last memories when his father said those magical words. It was: I am proud of you. He couldn't forget the smile that he showed.
It happened when Eros went to meet his father. The home that Macflan lived in was devoid of warmth. It was winter, so Eros wore a sweater and a red muffler.
He stepped into the hall and was welcomed by darkness. He switched on the tubelight, and was dissatisfied to see the house full of mess. The cobwebs were everywhere, and cans of beer and whisky bottles were scattered all over the hall. It seemed the flat didn't clean for a while.
He caught a glimpse of light in his parents room. He walked towards their bedroom.
"Dad, are you there?" Eros' voice echoed.
"I need to talk with you about something. "
He was in front of the room and heard some raging voices. It was a female voice, shouting in high pitch. Even an idiot could understand what was happening inside the room.
Eros was a smart guy, though. His hands were shivering as he tried to unlock the door, but he eventually did so with hesitation.
The door creaked in slow motion.
A man and a woman with no clothes were in the cow position. Eros' mouth opened wide; he didn't know whether he should laugh, cry, or be disgusted by it.
His father first noticed it and yelled. "Eroos!"
*Slam*
Eros quickly shut the door and ran away towards the balcony. The vivid memory of seeing what his father was doing was so horrible. He hadn't had sex yet, and his father was having fun with another woman. Hateful!
"Ughhh. Dad! Uggggg. " He couldn't erase the passionate scene from his head.
He gave himself justification, saying it was a one time thing. Dad might have done it unintentionally. The more he thought, the more he felt angry.
His cheeks turned beet red. How could he betray his mother?
A couple of minutes later, a woman who was covered came out first. He recognised her. It was his neighbour…
" F*ck! " He cursed and shifted his attention to the night sky.
The next day, his dad came and approached him with a beer bottle in his hand.
"Eros! How are you? "
Eros raised his eyebrows and made little distance with him.
"Dad, cut the crap. How can you do this to Mom? I thought you were at least a decent man. "
Eros's eyes were full of agony. "Mom loved you so much. Even on the last day, she wished for your happiness. Disgusting! " Eros spat on the floor in disdain.
The tension was rising between them. Both duos have hardly talked since Sheila's death.
His father laughed like a madman. "You bastard. Kill my wife. You dared to say those righteous words to me. Aren't you the one who suggested the bloody miracle potion? "
Eros speechless. He could defeat all the monsters but not win an argument with him.
"I was quiet for a while because you lost your mother too. Don't bring up the subject.
Now get lost. " Andřes raised his voice.
He continued, "I just bang a woman. You don't need to make a big deal out of it." Maybe I did once.. twice… " Then he showed five fingers.
"I was trying to cure her. I wanted to see her in joy, not in pain. I was trying. Eros' loss of words.
Out of nowhere, Andřes heart started aching, and his legs fumbled on the ground.
He staggered, and swiftly, Eros grabbed his shoulder. He laid down on the sofa. After battling vigorously, Andřes body was completely exhausted.
Eros gave an icy glare and couldn't digest that his father was sexually active. What an irony! He hadn't lost his virginity yet.
A few minutes later, Andřes opened his eyes and found that Eros was gone. He noticed a sober drink and a note on the table.
He grabbed the note and frowned at Eros's handwriting.
"Dad, I am going to make you proud.
P.S. : I made some pasta for you, which is in the fridge. Reheat it before eating it.
Eros."
After reading it, Andřes muttered under his breath. "Estúpido. " It means stupid in Spanish.
Meanwhile, Eros was alone, in front of a segregated warehouse. At night, the temperature dropped to 3°C, while Eros was in bright red underwear. Fortunately, no one was passing by to see the awful sight.
It took him two years to reach here, and he took a heavy sigh. Those maggots were hiding near his house, yet he was looking out in all the cities.
Perhaps Ricco County treated them well.
He heard four men, not five men, in there. He was ready to take his vengeance. A gust of wind passed through his body, and he shivered.
"All for Mom!"
With determination in his eyes, he touched the knob. The curse had its effect, and the knob slightly melted. He entered the warehouse, scanning at potential danger. He tiptoed, moved further, and noticed the room was completely empty.
Out of nowhere, someone grabbed his legs. He froze, yet he was calm. It was shadow magic and definitely a strong spell.
"Sh*t." Whoever did it knew his weakness. The same goes for Eros, who had knowledge about shadow magic. Light! He wasn't a magus, so he had to find another option to deal with.
The shadow was pulling him into an abyss of darkness, yet he was
He continually struggled to break free as his hand finally reached inside the shoulder bag.
"Take that, you wormhole." He grabbed a grenade and launched it to the ground.
*Boom.* For a couple of seconds, the room brightened, and he escaped from its clutch.
He ran as fast as a cheetah and threw a fire grenade at the corner of the warehouse, where the preparator was hiding.
*Boom. *
The magus swiftly cast another spell, and the shadow was slowly devouring the explosion. As he was concentrating on it, Eros's hand touched his shoulder.
"Boo!" With mischievous eyes, he was enthusiastic to rot this narcissist bastard.
How did he calculate and give a quick reaction at lightning speed? The first reason was that he did his homework, and secondly, he knew the properties of shadows. M2 magic allowed shadows to animate, but that didn't change the nature of shadows.
Using a flash grenade was ideal, and he also saw the gleam of the user. The key part was that he didn't fear.
"Eros, you really have to go that far. " The magus spoke in a lower tone, as his shoulder was stinging like hell.
Eros offered a mischievous smile, and spoke: "Were you not being tough on me, intentionally?"
The magus slightly widened his lips while averting his gaze from him.
"I thought so. "
Elias responded: "I was because if you were being weak, you could run away."
Elias' pain washed away when he looked at frenzy attire. He was just wearing underwear.
"Are you sure you can defeat her? "
"I must kill her for my mom."
Elias gave a nod of approval and shared a piece of news about the girl who took many lives, including Sheila.
Eros whispered in his ears.
"Don't ditch me, or I will leak the video of you masturbating on your neighbour's undies. "
Elias' face turned hot red after receiving blackmail from Eros. He glared, but Eros shrugged his shoulder.
In his defence, he only did it twice and the third time Eros made the video.
'Bastard, may you lose your virginity with the old woman. ' He thought to himself and was disgusted by the imagination.
Then two of them parted, Elias had given the opportunity to wipe out 3 magus while Eros would take justice for her mother.
