Chapter 249: Family Dead...
Alex was standing in front of her, his body slowly being disintegrated, his skin and outer tissue showing more and more the more he stood in the attack.
"Alex… ALEX!"
*Cough* *Cough*
"Abby! Snap out of it! Didn't you hear me the last time? No matter what… I'll never give up on you… I love you and nothing will change that… I have lived my whole life in regret… But for once I feel no such thing… My promise fulfilled… Now, I can finally die in peace… Goodbye… Abby… Live your life to the fullest… You truly mean the world to me..."
With a smile on his face that turned into black ash, the single tear falling down his face evaporating as soon as it fell, a shining hope and an unbreakable pillar fell dead on the ground, his charred remains falling down at the bewildered Abby's lap who was crying waterfalls un waterfalls, unable to believe what had just happened as she looked at Alex's unrecognizable body that still had a hint of a smile left on his now black face…
"Alex… Alex… Wake up… Don't pull another one of your pranks on me… Please wake up… This isn't real right? This was all a dream… wake up… wake up… WAKE UPPPP!"
Abby's tone began mellow and got crazier and crazier as she went on, shaking Alex's body lightly like she was trying to nudge him awake after a deep sleep to full-on shaking up, frantically trying to deny reality.
Abby's entire body was trembling and shaking like crazy, even a full-powered vibrator paled in comparison. The tears running down her face only seemed to get even faster and more violent, the pain and unease in her broken heart so immense that anyone else would have simply died of stress, the pain unimaginable by all as she spoke like the raving of a madwomen.
"NO! Don't go! I need you! DON'T GOOO! This can't be real! What have I done… What happened… This can't be real… What was I even doing… How could I allow this… Alex please come back… someone wake me out of this nightmare… This is all my fault… I-I how could I do all of that… N-no… This can't be real… Alex… You idiot… You can't leave me like this… I-I beg Lord Moby bring him back… Use your almighty power to-"
She turned around, looking for any sort of comfort from her lord. Yet, she knew she deserved no such comfort for her beyond despicable actions that had led to all of this, all the memories rushing into her mind all at one… He was the same person she loved and respected more than anyone else in the world, the shining hope in her life, the kindest person she knew… the first person to ever genuinely treat her right, with respect and no ulterior motives.
Yet, she constantly cursed and insulted him over, and over, and over again, even going to the point of siding with the most despicable enemy she possibly could have and the reason for all her pain and suffering, she received no such comfort…
The angry face mixed with blank disbelief that he wore, and his clenched fists and gritted teeth were a clear example of that, which broke her mind beyond any repair…
"L-lord…"
'Idiot… Idiot… What does that even serve? If anything it made things even worse… Why do you always have to act like the hero? YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"
The emotions running into Moby's mind at that moment were indescribable, like many daggers piercing his heart, only those daggers were infused with the energy of the sun itself multiplied a million times over. It was almost unnatural and inexplicable… The sight of seeing a family member of his falling dead was unlike anything he ever experienced before yet was something extremely familiar to him…
'Family member dead… Family dead… Family dead… I promised never again… I failed… Family dead… Family dead…'
The pain in Moby's mind and soul only dug deeper and deeper, spiralling into a flurry of emotions, unlike anything that had ever been thought to be possible. Even by Avilia, who was still in his mind and who expected something similar to happen could not help but be shocked by his display, a feeling that even she could not fully grasp despite her thousands of years of living… She had to do something about it or else Moby might end up destroying himself… The conditions have been met... Although she was not sure if it would work, there was only one way she thought of that could possibly save him and everyone else, taking advantage of this unknown power and potensial...
Everyone around him was shocked by Alex's death and Jayden's heart that had almost stopped from seeing what she saw, crying her eyes out as she could not even utter a single word from her disbelief could not help but notice an odd, black energy unlike anything they had ever seen before completely enveloping Moby's body, his eyes almost unrecognizable with the cold air of death surrounding him, making Hikari who had been previously hugging his legs run away in fear, hiding behind a rock.
"B-big brother…"
"Oh wow! Someone else stepped in to save a pathetic doll like you! That's quite surprising! But that won't change the fact that your still gonna die! What did he actually think that sacrifice would really do!? Save all of you!? What kind of stupid bullshit way of thinking is that?! Now you all die!"
The shalker once again charged another blast of red energy out of his hands, aiming it straight at Abby who was hugging Alex's dead body with all her might, reality still not seeming real in her beyond broken mind…
"It's okay Alex… I'll be with you… I know you're not dead! Just wake up… just wake up… just wake up…"
She spoke with shaky, wide-open eyes, hugging him even tighter than before, seemingly oblivious to the blast now about to be headed her way…
When, suddenly, the earth began shaking, clouds began forming in the sky, casting a black shadow upon all in its path, cracks forming on the ground spreading and splitting even mountains in half as everyone tightly hung onto the nearest thing they could grab.
Only Abby seemingly unphased as she continued hugging and petting Alex's body with no care in the world despite everything that was going on around her.
WHAT IN THE HELL!? ?
Arksha began shaking by the tremble of the earth, cancelling his attack as everything seemed to have come out of nowhere as he dodged a blast of black lightning falling out of the now blackish gray sky.
His attention immediately shifted to his right, his eyes growing wide in disbelief as he struggled to keep his eyes from popping out of their sockets, sweat running down his face and an odd smile appearing for seemingly no reason.
There he saw a man, energy and aura roaring around him unlike anything he had ever seen or even fathomed, the mixture of purple, mostly black, and red surrounding him unlike everything he had ever felt before as it consumed all in its path.
The look on his face was calm, yet the subtle yet not so subtle anger exuding from it was almost drowning.
His complex purple, viper-like eyes were like daggers aimed straight for his heart, angry, cold, and heartless, pitch-black horns on his head, along with wings that spread far and wide, a black skeleton surrounding it, shadowy black scales on his body surrounding by a black aura that had a wild yet majestic air to it, forming a coat of energy around his body in the shape of a beast amongst beast, yet at the same time looking rather incomplete at the same time, almost like an infant, an incomplete dragon...
With a look of excitement unlike any other he bore previously, the ground still trembling which did not bother him as much when he got used to it, he spoke in a confident tone at the man ahead.
Oh… Well this is unexpected… This- ?
SILENCE! ?
His word's seemed otherworldly, with the rage, elegance and grace of a true monarch, something that no mortal would have dreamed of hearing, making the shalker instinctively take a step back, something that he found rather confusing as everything was so unexpected, yet he was still confident in guess what was happening…
With a snap of the man's finger's 20 daggers appeared in his hands, made out of compete black and purple, as he threw them in all directions. Their speed so fast that they were barely able to be seen by even Hikari's naked eye.
"Now flee… Leave everything to me… Stay safe and try and get out!"
He spoke in English, his voice sounding extremely off to his family members, like he was a completely different person, the pain and shock of everything that had just transpired overwhelming to the point that all they all could not even react, before they were suddenly gone…
*Snap*
With a simple snap of his fingers, everyone immediately disappeared… All gone without a trace, catching Arksha completely off guard as he did not know about that power, guessing he most likely teleported them to a random dagger that might as well have been on a completely different continent on this small planet, making them rather difficult to find.
Yet, that did not even bother him in the slightest… Killing them was no more than fun enjoyment to him… His entire attention fixated on the man ahead of him with a smile on his face, his aura matching that of his opponent.
Who the hell are you!? ?
The aura of tense death enveloped only grew more and more, the cold stare
in his direction only growing more and more painful.
I am Avilia Graymore! The first demon lord of the Nether Realm! And I… Will be your undoing… ?
