Road to Valhalla Chapter 70: The Day We Met
"We've never failed our clients", is what Lady told me once, when I was still fresh."There really is no way to find out we exist except when we let people know. Occasionally, we give people the chance to contact...someone. There's never a guarantee we'll show up but people do it anyway. There are times when the people that seek to hire us have that...mettle. In that case, we are obliged to hear their story. Naturally, no one knows any details about us.""Well, my father said that-""You're gonna have to forget everything he ever said."I was taken aback. The look she gave me back then chilled me to my core. I suppose if there ever was a time when I considered running away, it was then. I should have taken that chance and yet, I know there was no way that would have been possible. Ever since the moment my father told me about this opportunity in the capital, I was bound to the Valkyries."In here, we are all dead people. If you don't want things to get harder on you, you need to forge
Road to Valhalla Chapter 71: Remember Me
"Remember me."Ah, that's right. I thought she said nothing this time around, but really she did. I wonder why I forgot about it till now. That day when Prophet and I left, she was standing outside alone. She was looking into the distance like she always did, thinking or perhaps reliving some distant memory. I observed her back from the distance like always. Then, as if feeling my gaze on herself, she turned her head slightly my way and returned the gaze with such cold and barren eyes. At times like this, I always had the feeling she was looking into the future. She watched us leave and just before we disappeared from her sight, she mouthed these two words to me. I cannot curse myself enough for having forgotten that all this time. It might have been too late to remember this now, under different circumstances. Fortunately, we were in the underworld. Ironic as it may sound, for a dying man like me, there was nothing better than that.The reason Lucy has the capability of killing me
Road to Valhalla Chapter 72: Always Right
"Hey!", I had no intention of talking to Lucy but instinctively, I was bound to reply to Prophet if he called, "What are you doing getting up?"I frowned, not wanting to, but I also made no effort to hide it."What do you want?!"We had to yell at the top of our lungs to communicate. Prophet was pretty high up, you see."What do I want?! That ain't the question, is it? Just stay down and let me make this quick!"I agreed with her wholeheartedly. That was the only logical thing to do. I wish it wasn't."Screw you!"I figured I might as well go out with a bang.I wished I wasn't alone here. I really wished that, before remembering I had Prophet, and Nasty II too. Still, if only..."I'll make this easy for you!", Lucy yelled before lugging a stray mountain at me. I had to make a run for it. She was fast but not fast enough. Huge mass needs time to be moved around after all.That's right. And as such, that planet she was creating up there, I still had time before it came down on us.I had
Road to Valhalla Chapter 73: All Falls Down
"So what's next?", I asked after a disturbing length of silence."Nothing's changed", Lucy answered, "Nothing you say changes anything."I looked at Prophet, wondering if he was thinking differently. He didn't look back at me."I suppose it doesn't", I muttered.Lucy turned back into her material form with Prophet and went back up into the sky."I wish there was a wall between us...or something", I said as I looked at her building her weapon of destruction."What did you say?!"I didn't think I'd been loud enough to be heard by her."I said I wish there was a wall between us!", I yelled back at her."Hah!", she said mockingly, "As if a wall could save you! You are not escaping me, you damned idiot! There's nowhere here where I can't reach you. Try to run if you want. I'd like to see you snivel!"I had no intention of running. There was nothing more pointless than that right now.I began to consider my options. There was no place on land which was safe. Flying wasn't an option either.
Road to Valhalla Chapter 74: Goodbye Nasty!
"~This time...I've lost my own return, in spite of...everything I've learned~"I could hear the distant song playing among the constant noise. It sounded like it was seeping from a broken radio, pushing every muscle in the poor radio to break it outside. And even though the radio was barely breathing, the song was blasting its way out of it. I could almost hear the heaving sound of the poor radio as it just barely kept up with the song.I soon became aware of the predicament I was in. I wasn't dead, for one. But things were worse than just that. I opened my eyes, which made a crisping sound, more horrible than anything you can imagine. I could tell from the rubble digging into me that the ground was shattered, there was a lot of smoke and dust and I could barely see or breath. I felt extremely light, it was almost scary. I couldn't yet feel most of my body, but I could at least tell that I was in one piece."Here?!"I heard two distinct voices, approaching me. I wasn't in the right mi
Road to Valhalla Chapter 75: Returning Home
"Oi...", the man came into my blurry vision, as the dust and smoke settled on my face, "Did you just grow...skin?"Now that I was seeing him clearer than before, he looked familiar, although I'm sure I'd never met the man before."Seraph, that's some regeneration you got.""Can you...", I was almost surprised to hear my own voice, "Can you tell me who you are? How do you know me and...what are you doing here?""Huh? Lose your bolts?", he sighed, "Well, I'll be damned. Just get up for now, you look plenty healthy."I cradled Nasty's remains in my arms and sat up. He was like a deflated balloon. I lay him down on a nearby rock and stood up."Hey Deli! Aren't you done there, dammit?!", he hollered to the lady who had arrived with him."Shut up, this piece of crack needs a piece of my brain!"I looked over at her. She was holding Prophet by his head, raising him above the ground. She was rather humongous herself, Prophet flailed like a ragdoll in her hand."Lucy...", I murmured. I had to
Road to Valhalla Chapter 76: Real vs Fake
"~I can't be reached...I've only had one call, dragged underneath...separate from you all...~" "Seraph!" "Huh?", I broke out of my thoughts, "Yeah?" "Where's your head?", Deli asked. We were on our way back. It was rather windy today, we had left Wenus early in the morning. Valentine offered us a ride home but Chopper flatly rejected him. The four of us were now walking all the way back. We were crossing through a forest, it was high noon, but there was no sun. The sky was rather bland today. Or perhaps I felt that way after having become used to the crimson skies of that little hell. Prophet was back to normal. He looked really pale and weakened but otherwise he was fine. He couldn't properly talk to Chopper and Deli but I'm glad he wasn't nervous with me. "Are you sure you aren't angry with me, Seraph?", he had asked. "I was. It certainly wasn't uneventful down there but I guess...since we're out here now, that's all that matters", I looked his way as we walked side by side, f
Road to Valhalla Chapter 77: One Of Us
"None of us are strong enough to control whatever is inside him. For now, he's in control thanks to the restraints Deli put on him. You can tell just by looking at him even from here, he can't be salvaged, Seraph.""I don't get it at all. What are you even-""Oi!", Chopper interfered, "Don't be a chicken about it, you brat. This is on you-""Chopper!", Lady stopped him."Just tell him the truth, hag. He ain't a kid", he seemed annoyed."Get things going. Call Sight and Grim, we don't have much time. Tell Deli to bring him around the back. We can't let him in when he's like that", she instructed Chopper after which he left.I stood watching them, utterly confused. After Chopper was gone, Lady looked at me and sighed."We always knew...that a time like this would come. But I had believed when I sent you...that you'd be coming back alone. Still, I should have known better...it was you, after all."She turned her back to me and looked emptily into the distance, perhaps formulating her tho
