One hour before Zalchys and Elestria finally looked into each other’s eyes.
At an unknown
Surrounded by nothing but pitch-black darkness.
After a few meters, the darkness stretched into a three-meter wide road.
The end of the road is not visible.
This seemingly endless is surrounded by
At one point in time, in certain areas within the whiteness, some scenes flickered from time to time.
In the first scene, there was a three-months old child beside an already dead three-meter tall demon.
In the second scene, there was a three year old kid, who was constantly stabbing a three-months old child with a knife in his hand.
In the third scene, there was a man in his mid-thirties wearing a black armour with two long swords in his two hands — one white and the other black.
Then the fourth scene slowly started to form.
A woman in white, sitting near a ten-feet tall mirror, combing her long-white hair.
Sometimes she wept, sometimes she giggled.
At times she would shout.
On the other, she would whisper.
Suddenly the woman froze.
And slowly started to turn around.
Then she approached a figure and hugged
After more than half an hour, the scene vanished into the whiteness.
Then.
A soft sound of a thin glass breaking was followed by—
A booming sound.
And
The entire area shattered into tiny pieces.
The pile of pieces slowly produced a human figure. It was a tall-healthy built middle-aged man
“It’s time again…Though it feels a bit sooner than previous times. I… don't want to do this anymore. I don't like it at all. Just how many times do we have to do this?”
The man said with a frustrated voice.
From the darkness, another figure formed. It was a three-meter tall humanlike figure but he didn't have any facial features except for a pair of eyes.
No nose, mouth, ears, nothing. He had one-meter long black hair on top of his head.
Suddenly his hair formed a little figure, which soon turned into a
The child crawled to the three-meter tall giant’s shoulder and sat on the left shoulder.
The child had no eyes. And his eyelids were closed.
“We…have to do this. For your sake, for sake, for my sake… for the sake of everyone from this…
The child's voice spoke from the giant’s shoulder.
“I had given up long ago. When failed in his mission. Though, I did hear he had a daughter who inherited that But what can a mere twenty something year old child do?
That's what I had thought, but she…”
The man said while wearing a thoughtful expression on his face.
“She is Naqeera. She was named after birth name for a better hope to find It seems, gamble paid off. She actually succeeded on her first attempt.”
The child responded.
"Still, even if things are safe here, I don't like it. Is this really worth it? For a single person? For all of us to suffer here? In Unable to leave at all? To be silently The man paused for a moment and then sighing inwardly, he continued–
“Does that really deserve this kind of treatment? Is he THAT bad, that had to be created only to keep under control? Recently I've been having these thoughts. What if the situation was reversed one day? What will happen then? How will that deal with us when that happens?"
The man said in a deep voice. By this point, the man’s appearance had changed. Now he was a battle-hardened a white long-sword hanging on his left waist and a black sword on his right.
“...", the child didn't say anything for a while. Then—
"I wouldn't say I never had these thoughts to be perfectly honest. But I thought I was the only one So I locked up my inner thoughts. I didn't expect that I was not alo—"
Before he could finish another figure appeared beside them.
It was a pale little boy with an expressionless face. Some faint marks of recently healed wounds scattered around the whole body. Dried lips, dimmed eyes. But soon, he transformed into a much younger kid.
Now he had the body of a And his entire body was ghostly pale without a single scratch.

His eyes were flickering, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible.
"Oh, you are late.”, said the child.
"I thought you didn't notice our meeting," said the warrior.
“I was already here before you two. But didn't show myself.", the kid said with a mysterious smile on his face.
The two beside him felt a chill running down their spine and looked at each other, confirming their mutual astonishment without doubting the kid’s words for even one second.
“I won't beat around the bush.
I am glad to see that you two have similar thoughts to mine. But now I would like to see for myself if you really do share MY VISION as well!”
Saying this, the kid split himself in two.
One went near the warrior and one went near the
Both of them said to the figures before them in a sharp yet deep voice,
“It's about time. You have to make a choice right now…
If you really want to look for a new opportunity.
If you really want to gamble your current safety.
If you really want to feel the the rules and place yourself in a much, much to not be some in this for the rest of your life…”
The kids took a pause to give the warrior and the child a moment to consider and then continued in a cold voice,
“Then give me one drop of blood containing your life force. Of course, I am no exception…”
The warrior and the child gulped subconsciously and took a deep breath.
Then both of them looked at each other and nodded in affirmation. Indirectly indicating that they have long since prepared themselves for a day like this.
Soon, a drop of blood formed near their forehead and flew in the middle of the two kid’s direction.
The kids also did the same and the four drops of blood merged into one.
That single drop of blood then started to glow a dim light, after a few seconds it turned into a golden light, the kid caught the with his left hand and stored it in a
The two kids have already merged into one by now.
The present three figures stood one-meter away from each. The kid was in the middle.
After a few moments, the kid shouted in a loud voice,
He took a pause so that those, who were just called, could gather before the three of them.
Numerous figures started to appear from different areas in the
Some were tall, some were short.
Some were bulky, some were thin.
Some had eyes, some did not.
Some were black, some others white.
Within a few minutes, more than six-hundred thousand figures gathered.
And then, the kid continued his speech from before,
Reaching to this point on his speech, he stopped and looked over the crowd and thought,
‘Naturally, in a large group of people there are bound to be some hindrances. But this time, I am fully prepared! I must succeed! has already met too…’
His lips curved into a subtle smirk.
But except the two beside him, none from the crowd noticed this.
The other two obviously didn't know what the kid was thinking. So they became alarmed and raised their guard for any accidents.
The kid noticed them and couldn't help but smile wryly at himself.
And as expected, voices were raised.
People questioned their decision.
The kid looked at the warrior and kept staring at him.
The warrior sighed as he understood the hidden meaning. And started to respond to the crowd’s doubts in a thunderous voice,
.
He stopped to give the crowd some time to digest the reality.
The sound soon reached
This time the kid and the warrior looked at the child atop the giant.
‘Great! Very interesting! I've been bored all this time! Now it's time for some amusement! I can't wait to see what happens next! Should I die, let it be in a storm of exhilaration! Hahahahahahaha!’
The child thought as the giant's eye shone in excitement and then clearing his throat he spoke in an ear-piercing voice,
The crowd went utterly silent.
Looks of and as well as appeared on their faces.
Some bit their lips, some gritted their teeth.
Some clenched their fists, some looked beneath their feet.
The child looked at the scene before him through the giant's eyes. A slight smile bloomed on his face as he thought,
‘Yes! Yes! Yes! This is what I want to see! Give in to your emotions! Give in! Give in! Give in! Only then will you be able to fully immerse yourself in feeling the Hahahahaha!’
Then he continued,
The child’s voice trailed off…
The entire went under a great change just as the was mentioned.
The atmosphere turned bone-chilling. Every figure froze like statues and started to emit an aura.
Those with eyes wore the gaze of a serial killer.
Those without bore something far more sinister in their very being.
Even including the child himself, were shrouded in icy air.
A heavy silence stretched across the for a while.
Then the child resumed his speech—
He stopped as the crowd erupted in gasps of shock and astonishment.
The sighed and took back control of the scene,
Upon reaching this point, the kid took a pause and observed the numerous eerily silent figures before him.
The other two the warrior and the child held their breath as they sensed the perfect calm before the storm.
Then, taking a deep breath, the kid continued,
Just as the kid finished his speech, the whole started to become restless as over six hundred thousand figures shouted in unison while a drop of blood appeared on each of their forehead—
All single drops of blood merged into one and shot towards
The kid, who was in the middle, caught the single drop and stored it with the golden drop from before.
The two beside him couldn't help but subconsciously feel awe.
Both of them were excited after witnessing such an event.
This time, they shifted their gaze at the kid and kept staring.
The kid frowned at first but soon realized that hiswasn't fully over yet. Then he wore a mysterious smile on his face and looking at the expectant and excited crowd, he shouted for one last time before vanished from their spot at once,
