Both I and my father floated respectively in the air. He stared weirdly at me like, he was actually staring at my soul.
After ditching out orders to Legion and the other seven demon Lords,we floated at opposite sides. My mom was just right behind him. She seemed to have hope in her and I hated it.
Just when I was about to make a few kills and evolve into a heartless monster,they show up and interrupt. Turning my gaze to the floating evil spirits, I noticed they were descending from the sky. They were following the lead of Yakaruna as they descended the sky.
Just as fast as light, I lunged right at some of the descending evil spirits, ready to make a few kills and kill this heart of mine. But before I could even kill an evil spirit,my dad blocked me making me halt in the air.
"Get out of my way".
I said in some sort of a demonic voice.
My dad was quite surprised at my demonic voice, seeing that I was just only a figure of black flame.
He frowned slightly but that didn't stop me.
"What the hell is wrong with you?
My dad suddenly shouted loudly.
I hissed.
"Just get the fuck out of my way let me make a few kills and kill my heart".
I said and flew higher and then descending at the evil spirits that had already gotten to the ground. But even before I got to the ground,my dad held my leg and pulled me up, back into the dark sky.
"And then what? Become an evil heartless monster?"
My dad asked as he let go of me.
To me,it was more like a statement.
"It's my choice, not yours".
"Your choice to attack the underworld. Can't you see that a lot of evil spirits have died from your hands".
I growled angrily.
This was taking more time than I thought. I could have just easily killed more evil spirits and then turn into a monster. But this Devil is so bent on stopping me.
"Now" my father spoke while stretching his back. "You will go to the castle while the seven demon Lords handle the mess you have made. You should be grateful that Legion didn't attack you at first sight".
"I'm not going to the castle and I will finish what I started. And as for Legion, if he tries to kill me, I will kill him after I have turned into a monster".
I answered back while growling.
With the twinkling of an eye, I shot a ball of dark flame at my father and immediately descended from the sky ready to kill some evil spirits.
Unfortunately, my dad dodged the ball of dark flame and headed right after me. He caught up to me before I even got to the ground and bounded me with his huge arms. I struggled to get free from his hold but it was in vain. Gritting my teeth, I back kicked him in the balls and he let go of me, gritting his teeth in pain.
I seized the opportunity and flew right after the evil spirits on the ground. As I made my way to the ground, I could hear my father growl loudly but that didn't deter me.
I was about landing on the ground and attacking some evil spirits when something hard hit me, sending me flying upwards again.
I got to know that it was Osmond,who had used a blade in hitting me hard on my stomach.
I got hold of myself and groaned in slight pain. Going down a second time attack some evil spirits, my dad stopped me.
"Why can't you just yield and stop this foolish quest of yours?"
My dad asked while holding my arm, stopping me from descending down to the ground.
Getting angry and frustrated that I was being stopped from becoming what I wanted to become, I summoned my chaotic sword and lunged right at my dad. This action made him to let go of my arm.
Once he had let go of my arm, I attacked him again, swinging my sword at his side. He dodged easily and summoned his dark axe.
"I'm not stopping until I have become what I want to become. I won't stop all this until I become a heartless monster. An evil one at that".
I spat out as I attacked him again but he blocked it with his axe.
I attacked even more to which he either blocked or dodged.
"I know that I have been supporting you ever since you were young and that was wrong of me. But you can still change. You don't have to be a heartless monster that would make people fear you".
I chuckled at my father's stupid words.
He didn't even seem to notice that my heart is already hardened and there's no going back for me. All my life I had wanted this. This,to be a heartless monster that all who would see will cower in fear and now I'm so close to my goal, he tries to stop me.
Ever since I was little, he had been supporting my evil deeds and now I am so close to being an evil heartless monster, he's turning back on me. I wouldn't let him stop me neither I'm I going back to the castle. I will finish what I started whether he likes it or not.
"You seem to forget that my heart is already hardened. There's no going back for me dad and I'm going to finish what I started".
My dad scoffed.
I relentlessly attacked him with my dark sword. With my new power from my already hardened heart, I matched him in strength and power.
"Even if you have to kill me?"
He asked making me to slow down my constant attacks.
Taken aback by his question,I slowed down my attacks but I immediately continued even more viciously.
"I have killed a lot of demons, evil spirits and even more. Killing you will just be like a snap of a twig and even if it comes to that, I will do it. Just to be able to turn into a heartless monster. I will do it".
I retorted earning a wince in both pain and agony from my father.
I could see the regret written evidently on his face. It was as if he had regretted those years of supporting my evil deeds. But I didn't care at all.
I just kept on swinging my sword and attacking but never did he attack back. He only dodged and defended my attacks. Never did he attack back. But though, he seems hurt about what I had said and as always I didn't care.
I didn't give a damn.
The remaining evil spirits were led to a safe place by Legion and the other seven demon Lords. The thousands upon thousands of casualties were easily taken care of. But that didn't worry me. What got me worried were the remaining evil spirits.
They were already led to safety and there's no way I could make a few kills and turn into a heartless monster. And with me battling my father, I couldn't be able to go after them. Though, I matched my father in strength and power, my dad would only dodge and defend but he didn't attack. And if I try to go after the evil spirits, he would block me or stop me.
Right now as I fought with my dad, my mind wasn't even focused.
The evil spirits were already taken to safety by the demon Lords and now my dad is stopping me from going after them.
Is there really a way for me to kill this heart of mine now and fast?
As I fought with my dad, I was quite frustrated.
"Just yield son. I won't let you kill that heart of yours even though there's still a little trace of life in it. Just yield and come back to the castle, look at the great evil you have done".
My dad said with an equally frustrated tone.
But I won't yield. I won't go back to the castle and I will become a monster. It's what I have wanted all my life and I can't just simply give up now that there's only a thin trace of life left in my heart.
And just like that,an idea crossed my mind.
What if I killed my dad?
That idea struck me like a bomb and I couldn't help but grin. Killing my father would actually be the ultimate evil deed that I have ever done in my life. Besides, if I manage to kill him and become an evil monster, it will come with even a bonus cause I would be officially the next devil. Such a great plan that formed in my head. Then there will be no need of going after the remaining evil spirits.
Speaking of which, the evil spirits were led to the demon realm for safety. It seems the demon Lords must have taken them all there for safety,in case I attack again. But there's no need to attack again when there's already a change of plan.
I could see the frustrated look on my dad's face who wanted me to yield and stop fighting him. He even wanted me to go back with him to the castle. How idiotic can he be.
My dad, seeing that I wasn't yielding decided to fight back and subdue me. He swung his dark axe at me and I had to dodge. He kept on attacking and I had to counter or dodge. He flew backwards and sent a two balls of dark flame.
I dodged one and sent the other back at him to which he dodged.
As fast as light, he lunged at me, swinging the axe straight for my head. I wasn't able to counter that attack and prepared for impact on my head. But just as the axe went for my head, the axe past right through me.
Both I and my dad were stunned for a moment. It was as if the axe had passed right through me and I was air. My dad stared at me, scared of what I had become. Seeing the fear on his face, made me grin and the black flame enveloping my body increased. This made me realized that I had gotten more power than I thought from my already hardened heart.
That only means, the enemy can't hurt me but I could hurt the enemy.
"You see, father". I spoke with a proud voice as I stopped attacking and floated in the air. "The power I have gained is so strong that even my enemies can't hurt me".
My dad only stared at me, quite shocked to the core.
And that was my opportunity. Ceiling the opportunity of his shocked state, I lunged right at him, plunging my sword into his stomach.
For once, time stood still. The horror was well written on my dad's face and I grinned at him. I heard my mom scream loudly and I swear that she had been watching the fight all along.
The chaotic sword simply faded away as I kicked my dad, sending him flying down.
And then, the evolution started. The thin trace of life in my heart was easily broken as I had committed the ultimate evil deed that would forever kill my heart. The chains surrounding my heart started giving a dark glow as my heart immediately died.
I let out a loud wicked laugh that shook the whole underworld. Even my voice had changed drastically. I gave on last look at my dad who was falling from the sky and scoffed.
My mom didn't waste time in flying after my dad. She screamed loudly as my dad hit the ground and went motionless.
The kingdom of darkness neither had day nor night. The three realms in the kingdom of darkness were usually covered by dark clouds and constant lightnings could usually be seen in between the dark clouds. But for some reason the dark clouds seemed to increase and intensify and I guessed it was because of my evolution into a heartless monster.
Finally I was getting what I had always wanted all my life. Even at the death of my father.
###
SANDRAINO'S POV.
He did it. He had stabbed me with his sword and therefore ending my life. I could see the grin on his face and I couldn't help but feel fear. The devil, the most evil being was killed by his own son.
He kicked me and I just like that, I descended down the sky. I could hear my mate screaming and I knew she was going after me. She shouldn't have.
Slowly, I was loosing life and as expected dying. From my weak eyes, I could see that the dark clouds were suddenly increasing. My son was evolving into an evil heartless monster.
I hit the ground with a loud thud that made dust to envelope my motionless body. But I knew this wasn't the end. My son would not turn into a heartless monster. I would not allow it. Never.
In no time, Lucy landed and rushed over to me. She fell to the ground crying with utmost pain. I couldn't bear to see my mate suffer in pain just because of my death.
But as always, she did something she would always do anytime I was injured.
Using her power, she started healing the stab wound in my stomach.
I sighed as I knew that I had to stop her.
Stopping her from healing me, I gave her my axe. She stared at me a lot confused.
"What are you doing? Let me heal you".
She said in a crooked voice.
I smiled at her ever beautiful face.
Using magic, I changed my axe into a sword and I put it in her hand.
"You must stop our son from turning into a monster. Don't worry about me. I will be fine".
I spoke in weak sweet voice.
She shook her head repeatedly.
"I can't. You will die if I leave you".
"Just do it for me. You know what to do. Stop him from being the evil heartless monster that I once was".
She nodded this time and I couldn't help but smile.
"I will do it but please,hang on".
I gave her a weak nod.
She stood up and immediately glanced at Drake, who was up in the sky evolving. I could see the determined look on her face.
She bent down again and kissed me. After doing that, she flew up in the air right into the sky.
I smiled as I knew what would happen immediately and just like that, I closed my eyes and embraced the darkness. A little tear falling down my cheek.
&&&
LUCY POV.
Flying up into the sky, I held the sword beside me. I had to destroy that evolution but deep down it was more like a torment. Infact,it was more than a torment.
Reaching up to were Drake floated, obviously evolving into the heartless monster. I growled angrily.
Lunging right at him, I stabbed him right beside his heart. A piece of the chains surrounding his heart immediately chartered and just like that, there's was an explosion and my vision went dark.
