It was around nine hours and half when we finally decided to take a break.
The journey was long but still dangerous, and that was why we still needed to rest.
I got ready and placed my bag.
The space we had was a big one which could take over two hundred and more space will still be left.
It was the outside of the forest, or the outskirt because that would be the last piece of land you see before heading in the forest.
How does his face look so familiar?
Who do I mean?
It was Cain.
His facial muscles and speech look so familiar it is very scary.
But I can’t put my mind on it.
It keeps overlapping and getting scarier every time I think of it.
“Are you not done yet?” He asked.
“No, I am still working.” I said after I got the tent out of my storage scroll.
A storage scroll is as it sounds, it is a scroll that has the ability to store objects whether alive or dead, large or small, weak or strong.
Its abilities are limited but still manageable when prepared for.
“Cool object. Where did you get it?”
“Somewhere you wouldn’t know. But I got it from an Outskirt village near the Knight Kingdom of Judea.”
“Wait, what were you doing there?” He stared at me before grinning a little.
“Wait. Don’t tell me you were chasing… uh… never mind…”
“What exactly did you think I was chasing?”
“… It is kinda embarrassing but we are men. I thought at that time you hadn’t met Mrs. Arisu so you were chasing girls.”
“Sorry but that is not me. Ever since my young days the only girl I ever had eyes for was Arisu and no one else.”
“I see. Sorry for assuming such nonsense.”
“Ah, don’t. We are men right, and as men we should speak things out before jumping to things that would lead to disaster.”
“Hey, listen. Do you think we will be able to come out of this alive?” He said while looking directly into my eyes.
“Do what you think is planned. But there will also be consequences for acts that you inflect on others. No matter how deep it is, the circle of hatred will also be with us and until it is cut, it will cause death and suffering for our children.”
“I know right. I have a baby girl who was born four years ago. And now, I don’t even want a single soil to hit her.” He smiled while this time looking at the stars.
“She is our world.”
“Yeah, our children should be everything to us. I too have two children which I would do anything to protect.”
“Do you think Ria needs help? To me, I think he is strong as he is,” his face looked very confused.
“I don’t doubt his strength but his ability to be himself. He only knows himself, getting his attention is hard as breaking a diamond.”
“Nights like this are the best,” he uttered.
“Now, let’s sleep. Good night.”
In my head, I was ready.
Everything had been planned thoroughly and precisely.
Cain’s Perspective:
Around twelve in the evening I woke up.
I didn’t let Allen hear me but I was still mindfully of what was at stake.
I was not allowed to let anyone know about the job I was given.
“Eliminate the person known as Allen Karasuki.”
Getting close to him wasn’t hard but upon meeting his child, Ria, brought to the reality of what might happen if I put him in my plans.
But he still existed, and so I needed a plan which would take him out for good.
I and the master had orchestrated a plan which will get rid of him forever.
It is too bad but you have to go.
Knowing this, I slowly unsheathed my sword and summoned the giant monster of hell.
The giant monster of hell, is a demon who fought in the ten thousand year war before the era of magic.
It has a rocky body and fire around it.
Its eyes are its strongest weapon since it can shoot sonic beams and fire arrows with it.
Its fire and land abilities are also top-notch, it is the perfect weapon to kill someone.
Upon being summoned, it seemed like it already knew its job.
It shot a beam of sonic towards the tent which Allen slept in.
“Boom.” A loud explosion could be heard but nothing came flying off the tent.
“Seems a little bit early but it is good that I got ready. Got to give it to you old people who said ‘it is better do the work before the time is up, and not to wait until the time is near.'”
Allen appeared right in front of us.
I looked at him with a deeply conflicted look but he had nothing to say.
“Let go.”
I went in with an attack to the chest. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
But Allen also unsheathed his kitana and blacked it.
He manipulated mana quickly under his feet and jumped towards the air.
“Shit, he saw that too.”
The demons, upon knowing what was coming hid his presence by using dark magic to cover around with his surroundings.
Since it was midnight, our environment was completely black.
Allen simply smiled and continued on.
He quickly adapted and used sage mode.
He manipulated mana and formed lightning dragons, he shot it at the demon knight but he was able to move just in time.
“Not so fast.” He said.
A moment later, the lightning dragon teleported to where the demon knight disappeared.
I watched his eyes closely now, there was a special eye.
A pure blue eye with strange patterns.
He was using the “Pure eye.” A forgotten special eye, which was lost fifty years in the Star kingdom.
“How do you have those eyes?” I asked him.
But he had other plans.
“I always had these eyes, I just didn’t want to show them.”
Knowing this battle had taken an unexpected turn, I also changed my tactics and used my special eyes.
“The soul eyes and the spring eyes. One on the left and the other on the right! You are a sick man!” He said with a grossed out face.
I joined my hands together.
I channelled my mana into a spirit form of my inner person.
A thirty five feet tall giant was standing with a demon knight.
Two of the strongest beings on the planet, or at least two of the strongest that have ever existed since the era of the transcendents.
“Wow! This is truly amazing but I will come out victorious to some extent.”
“To some extent huh? Then, should I take it that you can’t win?”
“Of course. I can win but not here. My intent isn’t to win but a larger plan.”
“And what is that?”
“I can’t tell.”
“Now. let’s finish this,” he said.
Allen formed an attack in his right hand.
He rushed toward me with incredible agility.
I raised my spirit form’s sword and stroke at the ground.
A path was made with that attack, people who were nearly fifty kilometres were either killed or badly hurt.
But nothing.
“…Huh!?”
“Bam! Boom…!” The loud explosion erupted at my back.
“Spirit ball.” He yelled out.
Then quickly as I started to understand what had happened.
He went and placed a seal on the demon knight.
But it broke the seal and kicked him with its large feet.
He flew past me and towards a mountain that cracked upon impact.
There was a hole inside that mountain that released an incredible amount of water.
“Amazing my auto healing is kicking in.”
Allen quickly got back up, but this time he looked very serious.
The demon knight had the ability to adapt to anyone and all phenomena.
It is the thing that proved if you are within the strongest in the world.
“Allen, give up and die a peaceful death.” I offered him.
“No. As I said, I do not intend to receive orders from a man who harms children for their own benefits.”
“You know too much. And to me, that means you must die.”
So, he knows about the Nexus institution.
This man is very dangerous.
Now, I know what the master meant when he said we must kill no matter the cost.
Demon knight used a land technique which broke the back bone of Allen.
Then, the demon knight jumped, unsheathed it sword and brought it down to end him.
Allen closed his eyes.
He was so focused that his sage mode which would have got out if a normal person was using it didn’t even show any sign of going out.
“Water serpent. Seven heads of death.” Short words, but the impact was catastrophic.
Suddenly, before the demon knight was its west enemy.
Seven dragon heads with their tails behind each of them.
The demon knight was trying to adapt but reached nowhere.
He then reached out to himself and removed his heart.
He threw it my way but Allen interrupted with the throw.
He used his sword to slice through the heart of the demon knight.
Using fire magic without incantation or circle.
He burnt the heart, killing one of the generals of the demons king.
“You know, my boss will be very upset.”
“I do not care.”
Allen had used all of his man fighting the demon knight.
He will die, that much is certain.
The only thing I needed to know was how much longer it would take.
“If you don’t mind. Can I ask you for a favour?” Allen asked while dying.
“Go tell my family that I love them. Everything that happened here was my choice. They should not blame themselves.”
Allen’s perspective:
Cain smelled and removed a mask but my vision was gone so I couldn’t properly.
“Sorry to say, but your loved ones will also join you in the afterlife.” He said.
“Step, crack.”
From the trees, someone’s footsteps would be heard.
But vanished.
“Good job, Rushed. You have done as I requested. Let’s go.” From the mist, something dark and bright came and took Cain.
He opened a portal and went inside with Cain.
“I have successfully protected my family. Now I can die.” The light was slowly fading but stopped.
Ria’s perspective:
“Not yet,” he said.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him.
“Sorry, I arrived late. But there is one thing I can do which might save you.”
Dad’s voice was gone, he hadn’t died yet.
I held his hand and placed a mark on it.
Eva’s ability will keep you here or I should say “alive” until you have successfully regained all your mana.
Just before she slept, Eva woke up with her pure eyes level 4 awakened.
She said she had a bad dream which dad had died, and that allowed her to awaken the pure eyes level 4.
Mom exchanged ours before I came here.
Then I waited until the battle had concluded, if I fought with dad, he might have suffered a more painful death.
After all, the man was watching from a different place.
If I had fought with him.
We both would have died tonight.
I stored dad in a different dimension which had mana everywhere.
He will recover but I do not know when.
Then, I teleported back home.
I opened the door only to meet with questions.
“How is he?”
“What happened?”
“Where is dad?”
“What did you do?”
These kinds of questions were flying everywhere.
“I will answer everything but have some time to relax.” As I said this, I went to the cooler and grabbed three glasses, then I filled them with water and ice.
I place one glass in front of mother and one in front of Eva.
“To start, dad isn’t dead. But he is in a coma.” There was a brief silence in the air, but mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Eva wanted to cry but I placed her head on my lap.
“When Professor Cain comes, tell him nothing. React like we have heard nothing. That would lead to the best possible future.” I stated.
If he tries to hurt my family.
I will teach him a lesson which he might never forget.
“I am glad you managed to save dad.” I said towards Eva.
“I did nothing, you did all the hard work.”
“No, without you.
Dad would have never been found in time, and that might have led to his death.
Eva smiled, now knowing what she managed to accomplish.
