GRASP!
He clutched her neck hard. Surprisingly, all this happened within just two seconds.
"How?!"
Clentine Eyth Lifeblood looked into his cold crimson eyes, for the first ti feeling shocked. ’Have I truly beco so weak...!’
"You don’t even have a soul anymore." He answered in a tone devoid of emotion! Cold. His voice—a sudden frost that killed the last bloom of her hope.
Afterwards, let the things happen naturally. Where, all of a sudden, a translucent energy with black and white strands ca out of his palm grasping her neck, in waves.
"Release mortal!"
Clentine demanded in a loud voice!
While feeling an existential dread unlike ever before. She was left completely powerless, sapped of all her strength when the new and peculiar energy, one which she had never seen before, encompassed her whole form. She was like a bird caught in a net of lightning.
"You shouldn’t have attacked , woman from outside!"
He actually smiled, just like Clentine. It wasn’t a mocking smile though but a smile of farewell and also a relieved smile, relieved from pain of course!
"You...!"
Before Clentine could say anything her body trembled. With a speechless gaze, she watched how her body disintegrated and deconstructed itself into small quantum red-colored energy particles. Which spread in the surrounding tens of ters along with the translucent energy with the black-white strands, yet the red particles never moved out of the new energy!
rely staying within its confines! They were trapped like fireflies in a jar of glass.
SWOOSH!
It was a process done within a full second, the taphysical body’s disintegration to the condensation of the new energy and red particles, to their crystallization into a small centiter-wide red dot-shaped translucent ball.
Sothing which silently hovered before him, while the raging energies started calming down, dissipating into the air.
His eyes narrowed. Hand moved down. Feeling quite nervous after what he just went through. However, before he could think of anything or co down from his emotional high, the ball of energy suddenly shot towards him and entered his chest the next second.
It struck him like a falling star finding its ho. He saw it coming, but could not react in ti.
Moreover, before he could ponder further on what just happened to him, sothing else happened; starting from his chest, from his heart, all his blood vessels started to glow in an eerie red. He looked at his forearms and his body as the veins beca visible all over.
BURST! BURST! BURST! BURST! ...
The next second, they burst apart. His body felt numb and fell on his back with a loud thud, bathing the green grass ground with his fresh red blood, and many small pieces of his flesh. The blood pooled around his motionless figure in another second.
His life seed to leak out like water from a shattered vase.
While he couldn’t even scream through all of this, considering the veins in his neck also weren’t there anymore.
COUGH! COUGH! ...
He coughed blood.
His eyes turned red. The subsequent mont, the eyes exploded, followed by his skin getting ruptured, and even the cracks of bones could be heard in this silence, along with the faint gurgling sound coming from the groans of the suffering calamity!
One shouldn’t forget that he wasn’t even a day old right now! The simple thought of imagining so other day-old baby going through this sa experience, should tell that he would die imdiately. It was horrible, but as though being pitied by the viewers, in about 30 seconds of torture he went unconscious.
The world of darkness finally embracing him.
A world without pain and suffering. Darkness folded over him like a heavy, velvet blanket.
anwhile, if one were to look from above they would be able to see a trendous amount of energy rushing into his body! It was enough that in a three ters diater with him in the center, everything was deep dark blue, with a blue mist of energy spreading for another 17 ters, becoming quite hazy as one traveled towards the end from the center.
Silence reigned.
The storm of energy churned. The sun vanished with ti as night ca and the moon shone beautifully. Hours went by as the ti continued to pass!...
The night watched over him like a silent, grieving mother...
... ... ... ... ...
The morning ca and as though the world held its breath, lying in a pool of his own blood, the calamity opened his eyes.
Nonetheless, the second they opened, he closed them shut. His brows frowned, as he felt the piercing light of the morning sun directly hit his pupils.
His hands moved covering his eyes.
He groaned, in ti using his other hand to sit up. Rembering what happened yesterday, he trembled; that pain was really sothing, first the soul pain and then the pain from his own body falling apart and destroying itself in such a barbaric and violent manner.
Truly a horrendous experience to have on the first day of his life no less! Certainly, he would never forget this. The mory was a scar burned into the fabric of his mind.
"I’m actually alive...!"
He smiled, while swearing inwardly to never lower his guard against anyone unfamiliar. "Or better yet, I should never lower my guard at all, whether before soone unfamiliar or one familiar, doesn’t matter." His resolve hardened like iron in a cold forge.
He stood up, turned and looked towards his own blood, frowning imdiately. "So much blood, just what happened to after I defeated that crimson haired woman?"
While he tried to look into his mind for so answers and even understand why his ability led him to her in the first place if all of this was going to happen. Not to ntion, the disturbance preventing this eting from happening.
[Ah. You’re finally awake. How aweso~] A very familiar, sensual and feminine voice echoed in his head. [Now quickly summon , I want to talk with you—]
"WHAT THE WHAT. Y-Y-YOU ARE ALIVE...!!"
He practically scread at the top of his lungs, nearly falling on his bare ass because of this now, sudden overly-friendly voice. His eyes wide open. His shout tore through the morning air like a jagged blade.
"And wait, where are you? And why are you speaking in my head? What is this? Answer outsider woman. Just so you know, I’m not afraid of you anymore...!"
He questioned. His head turning from one direction to another, frantically trying to find the source of the damned voice.
[HuH!]
[I don’t understand, why are you freaking out calamity? Aren’t you the one who forcefully ford this contract with . Furthermore, if soone has to get angry then by all right it should be , just who do you think I am. Summon right this instance and explain to what this contract is, and is about!]
[Even though, I have many I want to eliminate but if the price of my vengeance is becoming an eternal slave then I’d much rather embrace true death then sacrifice my pride and dignity!]
Clentine Eyth Lifeblood answered in an utterly cold tone. Her pride stood tall like a ruined tower amidst the ashes.
Fully conveying that behind that overly-friendly tone of hers, was hidden a strong anger, one which she controlled masterfully, all because of the bits of information she gained at the mont the contract was established.
Understanding that this contract wasn’t like the one she imagined in her head or had seen before.
Therefore, she waited to hear the explanation directly from the master himself, before coming to any conclusion or making any decision.
"Eh!.."
He blinked. His mind getting even more confused on hearing her words. Like a thick fog that refused to lift.
His head already had a lot to ponder, about all that has happened to him since his birth, and now this new problem, he was actually slowly getting overwheld now. Nevertheless, even though failing to understand her words, he could perfectly sense her emotions, through which he also understood what she wanted to know, but again, he had no answers, yet he still replied.
"What... are you saying, outsider woman, when did I contract you? Never mind, you simply tell , what do you an by this ’summon you,’ that you keep ntioning!"
His questions were like arrows shot into a starless sky.
