Eauvis went upstairs. He was filled with despair and wanted to escape it. He reached the third floor. ... .. . "Phew, I finally made it down. He sure is making such a big ruckus down there," Helix said with a sigh of relief. "Do I keep resting? I'm not fully recovered but it's not like I can't fight for resting such a lengthy amount of time," he surmised. He walked in the hallway until he heard footsteps getting louder headed his way. He took a peek at where it was coming from. It was Eauvis. Both of them were in the third-floor hallway. "Why, lookie here. I have a guest," Helix declared. "Leave me... alone... please," Eauvis requested. "No. You are the reason behind all of this. This all happened because of your indecisiveness. I insist you man up and tell me where the dang key is, or button, or whatever that grants access to the library. Your library to be specific. You want us to leave you alone? Tell us how to fucking enter the library." Eauvis slowly walked and when
Helix kept on punching Eauvis's face who lay on the wall. Since Eauvis wouldn't bother answering, Helix pounded his face on the wall and kept doing it."This has been going on for too long, old man. Tell me where and how to access the library to the grimoires," he ordered.Blood dripped from his forehead and nose."I... I have nothing to tell you.""QUIT SCREWING WITH ME!!!"Helix controlled the magic in Eauvis's body and slammed him up to the ceiling. He kept on doing this 5 times straight."We're all tired here. All tired of fighting for our righteous causes. Can't you at least feel sorry for the people you pulled into your mess?""I... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...""If you truly repent, then end it all here and now. Tell me how to access it and I will deliver it to Spellmaster. We will leave you alone from that point on.""I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."His repeated sentences pissed off Helix."Fucking bastard."Helix grabbed his neck and pushed him up the wal
Braille and Hazel were bleeding all over but they didn't stop fighting. Braille would overwhelm her with countless attacks high and below but Hazel kept dodging and deflecting them. Trying to pull Braille would no longer work.Spellmaster was nearing the object. Phize ran faster.Helix decided to interfere. With his left hand, he lifted Eauvis's collar. He looked at Phize and directed his right hand upon him.Phize levitated."Wh-Wha?!"His gaze turned everywhere until he saw the culprit."Him."Helix directed his hand quickly opposite where he was heading for. Phize was then launched like a puppet.Helix coughed up blood from using his ability again.Phize fell to the ground."GYAH!"The impact was not so painful but with the injuries he had already sustained, it was enough to make him lose a lot of energy.He took a look and Spellmaster almost has it.Phize knew he could not reach it in time and called for help instead."HAZEL! NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT LET SPELLMASTER GRAB THAT DEVICE
Eauvis stood up. The rumbles outside were pretty consistent at this point. "What are you doing?" Helix questioned. "I-I'm trying to figure that out myself." "Well, I'm not taking any kind of answer aside from you agreeing to help rebuild that device or perhaps pinpoint a way to crack open that hard nutshell." "I…" Eauvis contemplated his pathetic actions. He was reminded of how hard his students were fighting all for their sake. "I…" his voice was visibly shaken. He was reminded of Ortho as a kid and how innocent he was back then. "I…" "All that and you still haven't made a clear decision?" Helix mocked. He was irritated. He extended his hand forward and pointed downward. Crash. Eauvis's body fell to the ground. "I'll make it easier for you to decide then. Wanna fucking die?" Eauvis thought a little bit deeper and then he finally came to a conclusion. "I… I'm afraid… I'm afraid of facing Ortho… I didn't know what to do then. I was never a father. I believed that if I f
"What is the meaning of this?!" Helix yelled, "Why aren't you levitating because of my power?!""Simple. I refused to let you."Helix was irritated."To understand this deeper, you have to understand the history of how the Demon Lords came to be.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF YOUR STORIES! DIE!"He held out his hand. But nothing happened."The Demon Lords began as normal beings, just like most of us. However, they strongly rejected the blessings of God. They envied every creation. This stemmed from their very ancestor. One day, a devil approached him. They offered him a deal of a lifetime. The power to rule over all beings, the top of the food chain; above humans. On top of that, was paired with unrivaled strength, regeneration, speed... becoming an entirely different species. He accepted the deal, but a deal with the devil comes with a catch. Each time they use this power, the devil who they contracted with eats a part of their sanity that they have. The more they abuse it, the stron
He was silently walking towards the heavens. The angels watched as he climbed. Outside interference was blurred out and he could hear nothing but his own breathing and the flapping of wings created by the angels.He did not utter a word as he climbed. He did not let anything lead him astray.Eventually, he reached the clouds. He peered over the clouds and he was amazed."What a beautiful view…""Can I turn around now?" he wondered.Then all of a sudden he saw a light coming to form in front of him. It grew stronger and stronger and the light it produced became exponentially stronger.Even with the protection of the angels, his eyes hurt and he had to cover them.The light stopped growing and somehow the light was limited and did not spread everywhere. Instead, it was restricted to the shape of a man, by what he could infer."Am I permitted to let go of my hands because the angels have told me that I am allowed to see?""Thou must not. Nay man can see Me and live! Only those of purer e
Spellmaster fell, handless.His severed hands fell along with him."H-Huh... what... just happened?" he pondered.He looked at his arms without hands."I was... praying... wasn't I?... Then why... am I falling... why are my hands... not attached... why-"He saw Phize, Lili, and Eauvis who had just let go of Trif."Phize," he said with malice building up within him.Cough. Cough.Trif collapsed to the floor. He had used all his energy to throw and aim Harris's sword."TRIF!" Phize yelled."You pushed yourself too far..." Lili said."Ha... ha... I did... what I can..."Trif said as he lost all strength and collapsed to Lili's arms.Spellmaster was still falling. His mind was slowly recovering... and so was his rage."Instant Regeneration! Mana Revival! Spell Active!" he chanted.Muscle fibers formed from his arms and bones formed. Tissues such as ligaments and cartilage attached itself to the bone and so did the muscles. New hands were formed after all the necessary components were need
Trif rested on Lili's lap. She caressed his face and hair gently."We… need to… help him," Trif said."Shh…" Lili said as she put her index finger on his lips, "you need to rest.""Ortho grabbed him by force. They are busy fighting each other," Eauvis said.He urged to help Phize. He tried moving his body but any attempt fell flat."Huh… I can't… move my body… why… oh yeah… I already pushed my body to its absolute limit. I can't do… any more," Trif declared."You did great," Lili said with melancholic eyes."I'm sorry… everyone. It seems like… I can't join you… when you achieve your dreams. This is all… I can do," he said with a waning voice.His eyes slowly closed. He was by death's door.Lili cried. Her tears dropped on his face."That's not fair… how can you be so cool like that? Moving all swiftly and fighting Spellmaster like your injury is nothing whilst I suffer to move from having my arm cut off? It's not fair… you can't die like this…" she cried.She panicked and looked every
