22 The New God Of Death:Jiiku Hayakawa (1/2)

Jiiku opens his eyes two days after the battle in the kingdom's Infirmary. When Jiiku looks around, he sees the Princess sleeping on the chair next to her, resting her head against Jiiku's bed.When Jiiku sees the princess, he smiles with sincerity. Just as he was about to put his hand towards Rose's head, a soldier enters, Jiiku withdraws his hand. the soldier shouts, ”My Quenn, an outside force is approaching.”Rose suddenly gets up and says, ”What are you talking about? lead me there.” and leaves the infirmary with the soldier. Since Jiiku pretended to sleep before the soldier arrived, no one knew Jiiku was awake.When Queen Rose got out and looked her around, she realized everything in the kingdom was surrounded by dark clouds and lightning striked. The Queen and everyone else had meet in the middle of the palace.Wendy said, ”What's going on?” she asks.

Dearer said, ”This is him, Zaldra, King Of The Gods.” and a giant thunderbolt strikes the center of the palace. he starts to talk with a loud and thick voice ”tell me mortals where is the owner of the red lightning.”

Riku says ”Whats your purpose?”

Zaldra, ”I have no time for your stupid questions, mortal, tell me where he is.”Rose said, ”All of a sudden, you're destroying our palace and you're trespassing on the palace, and you're asking us for our information?”

Zaldra said ”Enough with the audacity.” he says, and with just one move, he knocks everyone down on their knees.

Riku says ”He is using an overly powerful technique to stop us from moving.”Gorou ”And it hurts a lot.”

Zaldra, ”The price of your insolence will be death.” as he says, Jiiku appears and shouts ”Enough” and approaches Zaldra.

Jiiku says, ”What are you doing here?”

Zaldra says ”I have to take you to the mountain of the gods.”Jiiku ”Why?”

Zaldra said ”Didn't you know something would happen to you when you slaughtered the God of death and took away his power? poor mortal.”

everyone looks at Jiiku with a bewildered expression.

Jiiku said, ”Don't be stupid, I'm not going anywhere with you.”Zaldra said, ”Let me make a new deal with you, mortal, if you come with me, I will erase my daughter's punishment and release her.”After some hesitation, Jiiku said, ”I accept your offer.”

Riku said, ”İdiot, don't do this.”

Zaldra said ”Silence he made his decision.”

Jiiku said ”That girl has been suffering for years because of me. I have to end this.”later, Zaldra Rays himself and Jiiku from there to the mountain of the gods. the mountain of the Gods was unlike any other place on earth. there was a big Palace on the mountain. because the palace was magical, it had hundreds of different rooms, and the palace had multiple features.Zaldra said, ”Follow me, God of death.”

Jiiku ”Why did you bring me here?”

Zaldra said ”Because someone has to do the duties of the God of death.”

Jiiku ”Duty?”

Zaldra said ”Like Hecta, you must lead dead souls into the realm of death.”Jiiku said, ”So how do I do this?”

Zaldra said ”You will stay on this mountain for a while and guard the river of death.”

Jiiku said ”The river of death?”

Zaldra ”people cross this river of death after death, creeping into the void if there is no God in their head.”Jiiku said, ”As long as you keep your promise, I'll do what you say.”

Zaldra snaps his fingers and Bella appears in front of Jiiku. Jiiku can't help himself, and with his eyes full, he hugged Bella tightly, saying, ”I'm sorry, Bella.”Bella looked Jiiku in the eye and said,

”It wasn't your fault, I knew you'd make it.”

Zaldra said ”Come to the Common Room of the gods in half an hour.” and leaves from there.Bella puts her hand on Jiiku's cheek and said, ”You beat the beast for me. thank you.” Jiiku said ”No, I did not defeat The Beast.”

Bella smiled and said ”What happened, is happened. I don't care anymore. you saved me.” and clings to Jiiku.At the time, Hecta was talking to Zaldra's father through the spirit mirror in a secret cellar among the unknown mountains.

Hecta said, ”I'm sorry,sir, I failed, the owner of the Red Lightning has defeated me and stolen my power from me.”Zaldra's father said, ”I am aware of everything that has happened, my student.”

Hecta said ”So what do we do, sir?”

Zaldra's father,”only my son can get me out of here, or someone as powerful as him.”Hecta said, ”But sir, it's impossible to find someone as strong as him.”

Zaldra's father said ”Soon someone will be as powerful as him. you'll understand when the time comes, student, just wait and see.”In the kingdom of Hariken, after Jiiku's departure, everyone was gathered in the kingdom room talking about what to do.

Wendy said, ”Well what are we going to do now, we don't know when Jiiku will be back. I'm sure ”

Zen ”He will return soon, as usual, am ı right Riku.”Dearer said, ”Your Friend Jiiku may never come back.”

Everyone starts pouring questions in amazement.

”It is entirely up to him if he can control his powers and carry out his duties, he will come back soon.”Kiroy said, ”What if he can't?”

Dearer replied ”If he can't, his body will be torn to death, or he will remain there forever.”
