"Asher, what happened to you? Why is there a thorn crown in your head?" Dalia wakes up and sees his brother, who is now a different person.
"What, is there something different with me?" Asher feels the thorn crown in his head, not feeling the pain.
'Well, your dreads have a shade of gold. But most importantly, what happened to us? Dalia saw a change in her brother, which made her forget the main problem.
"I still don't know. All I know is that you're safe, and that's what matters. Now I need to leave the enemies close by." Asher is shaking Amadi to wake him up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Asher grabs Amadi, carrying him on his shoulder, and they try to run outside.
Boom!
Asher gets blown by an explosion, causing his house to collapse. Seeing the enemy close by, desperation starts to enter Asher's mind. Thinking of many ways to survive, all of which are impossible due to his sibling's condition.
"Fuck!" Asher runs behind the fallen wall, seeing the enemy closing in on his siblings.
Asher's nose starts to pick up a horrendous smell, a smell of rotten meat. The smell increases the closer the enemies are to him. The stronger the odor, the stronger he feels inside.
The strong feeling is enough to make him go and fight like he has always done. Seeing the large difference in size, he feels a mix of fear and courage, but most importantly, he feels a strong sense of saving people.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahh!!" Asher feels the three bullets pierce his elbow; now with no way of backing up, he decides to throw himself at the enemies.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Asher sucks the pain to land the punches. The first enemy starts dodging his flaming punches. The stronger Asher is at the enemy, the stronger he feels; the drawback he is experiencing is a loss of consciousness.
Asher manages to land an uppercut, a direct hit on the chin of the enemy; the strength of the punch knocks out the first enemy. The fire starts to diminish, allowing him to regain a majority of his mind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Fuck, I can't take this!!!" Asher starts being attacked everywhere by the enemies that have collected to attack him.
The ground is filled with holes from attacks; looking back to see his sibling escaping, he feels that his goal is semi-completed.
Savior
Asher hears a whisper; his body is now consumed with a golden aura. The orange fire that consumed his body is now a light golden color. Feeling all the pain erased, his body unconsciously jumps towards the enemies.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Asher starts to repel the attacks; the smell of rotten meat only increases the more he starts to get closer to them. The smell is so strong that it makes Asher lose consciousness for a second.
After opening his eyes, he sees blood in his hand, one of the enemies down. His body moving by itself managed to land a hit. Seeing that there are five people left, he feels the power inside him constantly increase.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ahhh!!! My fucking arm!!!" One of the mage's attacks manages to pass through Asher's aura.
"Asher, we can't leave you behind!!" Dalia screams with the now-awoken Amadi.
"What are you doing!!" Asher, clenching his arm, starts to retreat.
"Look at us!!" Amadi screams.
Asher manages to look back at them for less than a second, only seeing a weak yellow aura surrounding them. Asher pays little attention after seeing a large attack closing by.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Asher, we are here to help you. You are the savior of K.." Both Amadi and Dalia scream while being shot.
Asher feels his blood stopping, seeing how his arm is regenerating. Asher feels six hands all putting their faith in him to succeed. The light golden aura intensified, his thorn crown with no color now starting to glow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Asher's strength is just enough to beat the enemies. Managing to land punches on one enemy, seeing its head rip off clean. Seeing his arms both destroyed, only working by the power bestowed upon him.
Asher manages to reach the mage, not knowing where the other two left. Reaching the enemy mage, he towers over him, throwing him at the ground, his eyes filled with pure anger, blood dripping from his thorn crown, falling in the mage's head.
Boom!
Asher punches the top of the head of the enemy, causing the mage's entire body to compress from the single attack.
His aura starts to disappear, causing him to become dizzy, happy that they are done. Just when he is about to collapse on the burning floor, the thought of his siblings appears. Causing him to overexert himself to search for his siblings.
"Haha, we did it." Amadi and Dalia are on the floor smiling that they both managed to eliminate the enemies.
Asher sees this scene; he collapses, his aura fades away, and the thorn crown disappears. A large ring of fire starts to develop where he falls.
The town, now destroyed, only had the sound of burning and the ever-growing fire surrounding Asher.
His siblings both see Asher collapse and the expanding fire; they run immediately toward Asher. The fire expanded until it reached them; not knowing what to do, they decided to suck the pain to see their brother.
When they both stepped on the fire, the fire burned a piece of their skin, causing the fire to create a pathway for both of them toward the direction of Asher.
The fire expanded every time they got closer to Asher; the path started to get covered when they left the place. Reaching Asher, they both collapse. The fire outlines their body and protects them from all directions.
