Immediately Following The Events Of Chapter 28 We Are Back At The Monastery Where The Confrontation Between The Child And Jason,Jay,Aria And Melantha Intensifies As The Child With Rage And Bloodlust In His Eyes Has A Stand Off Against The Squad.
Jason(Focused): What're We Doin Here Guys?
Child(Whispering): I'll Kill You All!
The Child And Jason Then Make Direct Eye Contact To Which The Child Senses A Malevolent Energy Emitting From Jason's Body And Jason Senses A Demonic Presence From The Childs Body, The Child Is Then Brought To Jason's Vessel Psyche To Then See Malum Sitting On A Throne Staring Down At Him As Jason Also Is Brought To The Child's Psyche To See A Demon Inside Of Him As Well Staring Back At Him.
We Then Come Back To Reality To Which Jason's Cursed Seals Respond To That Moment And Activate.
Child(Laughing/Menacingly): HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The Child Then Lunges At Jason And Attacks Him To Which Jason Catches The Childs Fist And Throws Him Into The Debris From The Monastery, The Child Then Gets Up And Sends His Shadowy Tendrils At Jason And Grabs Jason To Throw Him Through Multiple Trees.
Jason(In Awe): What Is This Power?
Jason Then Crashes Into The Ground With Hundreds Of Trees Surrounding Him And The Shadows To Hide The Child's Presence.
Child(Whispering): *Inaudible Chanting*
Jason Looks Around To Try And Find The Child As The Child Then Lunges Out Of The Shadows At Jason As The Two Then Clash Fist's Which Causes A Massive Explosion Of Dark Energy And Black Magic, Jason And The Child Then Emerge From The Explosion Exchanging Fists Moving Faster Than The Eye Can Perceive.
The Child Then Performs A Hand Sign.
Child(Menacing/Demonic): Void Manifestation: Abyssal Phantasm.
The Child Then Summons His False Reality To Which A Barrier Forms Around Him And Jason That Envelops The Entire Area Around Them In Absolute Darkness, Demonic Entities Then Appear Around Jason And Attack Him At Once.
Jason Then Activates The Cursed Seals To Summon A Black Hole And Changes The Shape Of It Into A Circular Slash Around Him And Sucks All Of The Demonic Entities Into It.
Jason(Thinking/Analyzing): He Can Use Void Manifestation As Well?
Jason(Thinking/Analyzing): I Have To Find A Way Out.
We Then Hear A Familiar Voice In Jason's Head.
Malum(Menacingly/Coldly): Hey Brat!
Jason(Focused): What The Hell Do You Want?
Malum(Menacingly): Use My Power.
Jason(Focused): Yeah Right, Just For You To Takeover My Body And Try And Kill My Friends.
Malum(Menacingly/Ominous): I Have No Interest In That Right Now, But Your Making Me Look Bad Since Your My Vessel And Your Losing To This Weakling?
Jason(Serious): But He Trapped Me Inside His Void Manifestation, How Can I Get Out?
Malum(Menacingly): There Is A Way To Exit Void Manifestations.
Jason(Serious/Shocked): How?
Malum(Menacingly): You Have To Cancel It Out By Laying Out Your Own Void Manifestation.
Jason(Serious): But I Still Can't Use Void Manifestation Yet!
Malum(Ominous): So Use Mine!
Jason(Serious): How?
Malum(Ominous): Focus My Chaos Energy Throughout Your Body, And Channel It To The Environment Around You.
Jason Then Taps Into The Cursed Seals As They Spread Even Further Across His Body And Start Lighting Up With An Ominous Red Light To Which The Child's Void Manifestation Slowly Starts Crumbling.
Jason(Voice Resonating With Malum): Void Manifestation: Nine Hells!
A Barrier Created By Jason Is Then Formed Cancelling Out And Overwhelming The Child's Barrier As The Sky Takes On An Ominous Red Color And Dark Clouds Form In The Sky As Blood Rain Starts Pouring Down As Well As Red Thunder And Lightning, Then Nine Ominous Gates Of Hell Open In front Of The Child.
Jason(Voice Resonating With Malum): Prepare Yourself For Eternal Suffering.
Jason Then Sends The Child Into The First Gate To Which The Child Enters A Realm With Blood-falls(Water Falls Of Blood, As He Then Shadowy Entities Spawn From The Ground And All Gather Around The Child All Grabbing Him.
Shadow Entity #1(Ominous): Demon Child.
Shadow Entity #2(Ominous): Murderer!!!
Shadow Entity #3(Ominous/Whispering): Monster.
Child(Scared): *Screaming In Agony.
The Child Then Passes Out From Being Overwhelmed By The Shadow Entities To Which Jason Then Releases The Void Manifestation, Which Brings Them Both Back To Reality.
The Cursed Seals Then Deactivate As The Child Lies On The Ground Unconscious.
Jason(Exhausted): So That's How Void Manifestation Works.
Melantha,Aria And Jay Then Arrive.
Jay(Confused): Jason? What Happened?
Aria(Looking Around/Awe): The Hell Happened Here?
Melantha(Surprised): Jason, What Happened Here?
Jason(Explaining): Well We Started Fighting And I Tapped Into Malum's Power And Used His Void Manifestation.
Jay&Aria&Melantha(Shocked): HUH???
Aria(Surprised): You Used Void Manifestation?
Jason: Yeah But I Used Malum's, Not My Own.
Jason(Serious): But More Importantly, This Guy.
Jason(Serious): He Was Fighting Almost Like An Uncontrollable Beast.
Melantha(Serious): And Those Tendrils He Had, He's A User Of Black Magic!
Aria(Serious): But Why Was He In That Capsule?
Jay(Analyzing): This Cult Must've Been Conducting Experiments On People.
Melantha(Focused): You May Be Right, Because There Were Three Capsules And The Other Two Kids Were Dead But This One So Happens To Be Alive.
Jason(Confused): So What Do We Do With Him?
Jay(Confident): Let's Take Him Back To The Grand Elder And Ask Him What He Thinks We Should Do.
Jason(Cautious): Are You Sure Mr.Jay? What If He Lashes Out Again?
Jay(Confident): We Will Lock Him Up When We Get To The City And Ask Him About The Cult.
A Couple Hours Later The Squad Arrive Back At The City Of Sorcerers With The Unconscious Child, They Are Met At The Entrance Of The City By The Grand Elder.
Grand Elder(Serious): Take Him To The Holding Cells.
Jay Then Takes The Mysterious Child To The Holding Cells And Place Anti-Magic Sealing Chains On His Arms And Put Anti-Magic Sealing Tags On His Forehead.
A Couple More Hours Later The Child Starts Blinking And Wakes Up As He Is Behind Bars With Jason,Aria,Jay,Melantha And The Grand Elder, The Child Then Looks Around And Struggles To Free Himself From The Chains.
Grand Elder(Questioning): Who Are You? And What Is Your Connection With This Cult?
Child(Defiant): …
Grand Elder(Stern): You Can't Stay Silent, Especially If You're Involved In Something As Dangerous As That Cults Experiments. Speak!
The Child Glances At The Squad, His Eyes Reflecting A Mix Of Fear And Defiance.
Jason(Cautious): We Wanna Help You, And We Need Information About This Cult To Understand Their Motives Better.
Child(Defiant): …
Grand Elder(Annoyed): This Is A Waste Of Time, He Won't Speak.
Grand Elder(Annoyed): Jason,Jay,Melantha,Aria Come With Me So We Can Discuss Our Next Move.
Aria: You Guys Go, I'll Stay Here.
Melantha(Playful): You're Wasting You're Time, He Won't Speak.
Meanwhile The Grand Elder,Jason,Jay And Melantha Leave As Aria Stays To See What Information She Can Get Out Of The Child.
Aria(Questioning): Look We Are Sorcerers And We Help People, We Are Trying To Help You But We Can't Help Unless You Talk To Us.
Aria(Reassuring): I Know You're Probably Scared But I Can Assure You It's Alright The Cult Can't Hurt You Anymore.
Child(Hesitant): They, They Took Me. The Cult Leader He Said My Power Was Special.
Aria(Sympathetic): What Kind Of Experiments Did They Conduct On You?
Child(Shivering): They Were Trying To Awaken Something Inside Of Me, Something Evil.
Child(Heavy Breathing): They Wiped Out My Entire Clan Because Of Our Power, And Kidnapped Me And The Other Children Of The Clan.
Child(Heavy Breathing): He, He Killed My Mother And Father.
Aria(Calm/Sympathetic): What Kind Of Power?
Child(Panicked Breathing): My Clan Carries A Curse, The Founder Dabbled In Forbidden Spells, And Now We All Have Inner Demons, Anyone From His Bloodline.
Child(Panicked Breathing): The Cult Leader Kidnapped The Children Because Our Inner Demons Have Yet To Be Manifested And He Experimented On Our Bodies, And Tortured Us To Find Out What Causes The Inner Demons To Manifest.
Aria(Curious): An Inner Demon? Like A Separate Entity Inside Of You?
Child(Traumatized): Yes, A Evil Being That Feeds On Hatred And Negative Emotions Of Us And Comes Out Due To Heightened Emotions.
Aria(Curious): And What Did The Cult Leader Want With This Power?
Child(Bitter): He Believed That It Would Aid In His Plans To Serve This Demon Called Malum.
Aria(Calm): Thank You For Cooperating, And Don't Worry The Cult Won't Hurt You Anymore.
Aria(Calm): We're Here For You, You're Safe Here.
Aria(Calm): Can You Tell Me Your Name?
Child(Calm): T- Travis.
Aria(Calm): Hi, Travis I'm Aria, And My Friends From Earlier Are Jason, Mr.Jay And Miss Melantha.
Meanwhile Outside…
Melantha(Hesitant): Jason, I Need To Talk To You About Something.
Jason(Calm): Sure About What?
Melantha(Hesitant): Do You Remember That Night When You Felt That Immense Amount Of Soul Energy 2 Months Ago?
Jason: Yeah What About It?
Melantha(Hesitant): It Was Selene And Deimos, They Were Outside Of The City In Battle With Azreal.
Jason(Confused): What?
Melantha(Hesitant): And Selene Killed Azreal.
Jason(Eyes Widened): W- What Are You Talking About?
Melantha(Hesitant): She Killed Azreal And Me And Jay Then Arrived To The Forest And Had To Fight Against Selene And Deimos, So Me And Selene Fought And I Had To Kill Her.
Jason(Denial): What Exactly Are You Trying To Say?
Melantha(Hesitant): Selene's Dead, I Killed Her.
Jason Stands There With His Eyes Widened And His Breathing Picked Up With A Sense Of Loss And Disbelief In His Eyes, He Stands There Trying To Take In What He Had Just Been Told.
Melantha(Worried): Jason?
Jay(Worried): Jason?
Jason(Upset): *Heavy Breathing*
Jason Then Starts Breathing Heavily As He Then Drops To His Knees And Clutches His Chest, As Tears Flow Out Of His Eyes And His Hearing Becomes Deafening As He Then Falls Completely To The Ground As His Vision Becomes Blurry To Which He Then Passes Out.
