We’ve made it to the top, killing all those creatures that kept creeping in.
The place is hot, almost like we were climbing a jagged volcano instead of a mountain. The only place that the god could be is that cave like entrance in the front, there does not seem to be any other entrance inside.
Moryuu- “Are you up for this, you’ve been awfully quiet?”
Dullahan- “Let’s just go.”
Moryuu- “If you insist.”
The 3 of us enter the mountain and as I expected….
Dullahan- “The hell….”
Moryuu- “This God is trying to summon something, something that will probably do more than split a continent.”
The inside of the cave looked nothing like how it did from outside, It looked like just a normal cave.
Now it looks…foreign, like it’s alive with pulsating red tendrils on the walls and floor.
The mana is thick too, anyone else might have suffocated.
Dullahan- “Look….”
I see….
In the center of all this visual madness lays a black pit that seems to go on forever and above that pit, near the edge, on his hands and knees in prayer is our target.
Moryuu- “He really is just a child, well, what must be done, must be done.”
We slowly approached the boy and by the looks of him, he definitely dresses like a rain god with His white and light blue robes and sash.
Gremmy- “So you came again?”
Dullahan- “!”
Gremmy- “Are you going to kill me too.”
Moryuu- “That’s the plan, I’ll make it quick.”
Gremmy- “Screw you human I won’t it end like this….”
Moryuu- “*Charges lightning*”
Moryuu- “Can’t let you summon whatever is in that pit.”
Gremmy- “You deserve what it will bring, a world without her is not a world worth continuing.”
Moryuu- “Die.”
Dullahan- “!”
*Explosion*
And just like that my lightning strike was redirected towards the wall, causing the whole place to pulsate and shake.
Moryuu- “….”
Dullahan- “….”
Moryuu- “What the hell do you think you doing?”
Dullahan intervened while Kirin ran to the God’s side.
Dullahan- “I can’t let you kill him.”
Moryuu- “Are you blind, do you know what he’s trying to summon into this world?”
Dullahan- “Yes, but I can’t let another person from that family die.”
Moryuu- “You’re being unbelievably selfish.”
Moryuu- “Or is it another reason, I pretty sure Death would be pleased to hear that the earth was destroyed and all those souls were hers at last. So, are you her lap dog once again, Ripper?”
Dullahan- “Don’t call me that….”
Moryuu- “Then let me kill him.”
Gremmy- “I remember you….”
Dullahan- “!”
*Shiver*
What….why do I feel a chill down my back.
Dullahan- “Y-Yes Gremmy I-I was one of the ones that killed your family.”
Gremmy- “!!”
Dullahan- “I’m sorry Gremmy, I know you don’t want to hear it from me but I’m truly sorry. I want to atone for all I’ve done!”
Dullahan- “In my despair and cowardice I became what I despised the most, an agent of death.”
Gremmy- “….”
Dullahan- “I want to save you Gremmy, don’t destroy the world or kill yourself! Don’t waste the life your family saved!”
Gremmy- “!”
….
….
Gremmy- “You want to atone?”
Dullahan- “By saving you, It’s the least I can do for the family I butchered.”
Gremmy- “….”
Gremmy- “If you really want to atone….”
Gremmy- “Then die.”
Faster than either of us could react a blast of wind burst from the God pushing us all back a good amount.
Dullahan- “Kirin!”
Kirin had the worse he was blown out of the cave towards who knows where.
Damn it, I shouldn’t have let Dullahan get his last speech in. Why does this kid have so much power?
Dullahan- “Don’t do this Gremmy!”
Gremmy- “Murderer….”
Dullahan- “!”
Gremmy- “You have the audacity to want to seek forgiveness after what you did? Scum like…..”
The Wind is getting worse….
Gremmy- “Scum like you are the ones that killed my sister, you should all burn in hell!!!!!!”
At the moment Gremmy started to speak something incomprehensible, I have to end this.
Moryuu- “The King of Lightning calls you forth oh ally of-”
Dullahan- “No!”
Moryuu- “What the….”
Dullahan knocked me off my feet before I could finish and along with the wind forced out of the cave and into free-fall down the mountain.
Moryuu- “What the Hell!”
….
…..
After some time I finally hit the ground.
Moryuu- “*Rubs head* That hurt a little, Dullahan you fool.”
I probably can get back there In few minutes give or take.
….
Or not.
Moryuu- “Hello Hashi.”
Gorta- “Did you have a nice fall Moryuu?”
[Before]
[Perspective Shift: Hashi]
On our way we felt something wrong, something malicious and with that feeling came an explosion above us in the mountain.
Arrea- “What’s happening up there?”
Hashi- “Pick up the pace Albeis.”
Not long after we sped up, we saw 2 things fly out of the mountain one after the other.
Kate- “Hey I think that’s Kirin.”
Arrea- “The other one is….”
Hashi- “Moryuu.”
Hashi- “Everyone keep going to the summit and figure out what’s happening and look out for Kirin.”
Arrea- “Be careful Hashi.”
Kate- “….*Nod*.”
I raced to where Moryuu may have landed, no matter what happens up there, Moryuu has to be taken out of the picture in order for this to end peacefully.
[Perspective Shift: Arrea]
We continued on our way and soon got to summit, right on time to see the top of the of mountain blow off to see something that almost shattered our minds if not for the saving grace that this is probably not the entire body.
Kate- “Dullahan!”
Arrea- “Yeah I see him, getting smothered in that….mass of tendrils.”
Kate- “It almost looks like a hand.”
Arrea- “Never-mind that, what are suppose to do about this.”
Albeis- “This is why I was sent with you.”
Arrea- “?”
Albeis- “I was sent to fight off things that are beyond a normal mythic’s abilities.”
Kate- “What about us.”
Albeis- “Stay here.”
Arrea- “We’re out of the fight again.”
Albeis- “You’d just be in the way, besides this feels just like those creatures before.”
Kate- “But….”
Arrea- “Okay, you be careful too, you’re our ride.”
Albeis- “*Nod*”
We got down from Albeis and then he sped off to fight whatever that thing is.
Kate- “Is this the God of the Island?”
Arrea- “It shouldn’t be, I heard he was just a kid not a horrific monster.”
*Screech*
Kate and Arrea- “!!”
Arrea- “No way….”
Kate- “Arrea….”
As if summoned by that larger creature, one of those abominations we fought on the way came out of the woods and this time it was big.
Arrea- “Don’t look at it!”
Kate- “Arrea!”
I can’t let Kate die, not here.
I pick her up and run, towards Albeis. Forward is the only way.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOypVKmRq9
