209 Chapter 202 - Itsuki’s Inner World. 2 (1/2)
Seito and Jason launched a full assault on Itsuki without even giving him any chance to escape as they know that they are in the safe room, any type of attack would not cause any big damage to Itsuki, and Itsuki escaped all their attacks. He seems to be more relaxed compared to be previous training he had with Maria, probably it's because he knows Seito and Jason better compared with Maria.
However, only Itsuki himself knows that he is not even paying attention to the fight, he is just letting his 'superhuman' body reflex reacting to the attacks on its own. Itsuki's mind had totally drifted away from the fight, the only thing he cares about at that moment, is the decision he needs to make according to the words given by Dracula.
”Is that person I saw just now the rumored Dracula? But why did he looks exactly like me?” Itsuki thought.
”Brother Kenji should have known that, right? But why he never told me about that? Sky-san and Chris-chan too, by right, they should have known it since the beginning.”
As he thought so, he started to do some counter-attacks instead of just escaping and blocking. Seito and Jason are a bit surprised by the sudden change of moves but didn't put too much thought into it.
”Are they having any hidden intentions that I don't know, if so, what is it? Are they actually the same as those Gospelers?” He thought again as his movements get more aggressive.
Seito and Jason noticed that unusual behavior of Itsuki but decided to let it be, as they believe or at least hope that Itsuki will be able to overcome it.
”What Dracula said just now? I am Dracula and Dracula is me? But how could I be someone else? I am myself since I'm born, right? Or am I just a medium to revive Dracula?” He thought again, and suddenly, a piece of memory flashed in his mind, it's when he lost control when fighting with that ancient goddess in the cathedral and accidentally hurt Sky.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Itsuki still remember about what happened that day, when Sky reached the cathedral, he looks kind of weak and tired, instead of don't want to fight with Itsuki, it's more like he can't. Until now Itsuki still doesn't know what reason caused Sky into that state that day, as in his impressions, Sky is always so energetic and hot blood, except for that time.
That time, Sky stood still in front of him without any emotion, his eyes are filled with tiredness. Itsuki remembered that he tried so hard to stop himself from doing that direct chest pierce to Sky but he can't no matter how hard he tried. Just before he pierced through Sky's chest, he heard those unforgettable words from Sky.
”I don't know who you are right now, Itsuki or Dracula. But if you continue with your state right now, you will be neither of the two.”
Recalling all these scenes, Itsuki's mind finally cleared a bit, he realized that he should not have that kind of thoughts he had earlier, as Sky said, at this moment, whether he is Itsuki or Dracula, it is not important, but if he continues with his current wavering state, he will become neither himself nor Dracula but a soulless monster as desired by some despicable parties. And so, he once again took control over his own body instead of letting it drifting on its own.
However, just when he awakes from that 'gazing state', the first thing he saw is Pinky who suddenly get rid of its herbs sachet and turned into that gigantic muscular rabbit which about to give Itsuki an uppercut as he is getting quite near to Ai and Yuki during the fight with Seito and Jason.
Out of shock, he successfully summoned that pair of curved sword which was supposed to be away from him and blocked the uppercut from Pinky perfectly as the curved swords once again glow on blue light.
”Ah... He did it.” said Seito after witnessed that unbelievable sight.
