Chapter 63: A Farewell (1/2)
”Ivan!”
Kevin was thoroughly astonished witnessing the explosion of the demonic souls.
He rushed at Calvin's side and discovered that Calvin was still alive.
Calvin turned to look at him and cheekily smiled, ”What the hell are you shouting for? I won't die that easily...”
”You should've known that.”
Kevin had the urge to roll his eyes at him but he was indeed too worried about Calvin. He decided to let him go and asked an even more important question.
”What the hell was that?” Kevin knew exactly what happened, but he still couldn't help but question.
”I forcefully detonated the demonic souls of the bullies that I captured here in school. I used Runecrafting to turn the omnidirectional explosion into a single direction so that I won't get caught up with the blast...”
”But as expected, the foundation, the paper used for Runecrafting was too low in quality that it didn't manage to hold up and almost got me in the explosion too. Sigh... It's good that I'm still alive.” Calvin let out a sigh of relief. One could see beaded sweats dotted on his forehead.
What he did was really daring.
But as the popular adage in his hometown had said, ”Walang tiyaga, Walang nilaga”.
One who doesn't work doesn't get to eat.
Calvin had done his part of the job and he was rewarded with survival and the death of the two demons who could be considered as the main perpetrator as to why there were so many demons in this school.
Of course, the bullies that Calvin captured earlier were pure-blooded demons, unlike the students whose souls came from children captured back on Earth.
This was the reason why Calvin didn't hesitate to detonate their souls and preventing them from going back to the cycle of life and reincarnating.
They didn't deserve to reincarnate.
Calvin thought to himself.
”Hey...”
”Is it over, already?”
”Are there no enemies left?”
Calvin asked in a soft voice.
Peng!
The silver sword fell onto the cold cemented floor of the school corridor, producing a ringing sound as it collided with the ground. The spirit of the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life went out of the silver sword and physically manifested using Kevin's figure.
He smiled and softly replied.
”Yeah... It's over... You've done well.”
”Heh...” Calvin felt drowsy all of a sudden.
”Don't talk to me like that... What are you? My mom...?” Calvin suddenly slumped on the walls of Class 3 and collapsed.
”Ivan!”
As Calvin's consciousness darkened, he could vaguely hear the spirit's worried shouts.
The only thought that he had in his mind at this moment as he stared at his still profusely bleeding wrist was...
”Shit... I hope this spirit knows how to stop my bleeding...”
His consciousness dispersed before he could even think anything more.
Calvin had a dream.
In that dream, he was an observer.
He had a pen in his left hand and on his right hand was a book.
A slaughter was unfolding in front of him.
His acquaintances and his friends whom he held deep in his heart were being slaughtered right before his eyes.
His eyes went bloodshot.
His mouth opened as if it wanted to shout, and his knees continuously trembled like a sieve.
Why...
Why can't I move?
I have to save them!
I need to save them!
The man struggled and struggled.
He looked down and discovered that his feet were glued to the ground.
His left hand suddenly moved.
The pen in his hand had no ink at all, yet it managed to write on the surface of the book.
You did not deserve to live.
You're a traitor.
Once a traitor; always a traitor.
You deserved to die.
Why did you live? On what basis?
Die. Die. Die.
”Stop... Stop... No... I didn't... It's not my fault... It's not my fault, everyone! I was forced... I didn't mean to.”
”Ah...”
Calvin struggled against his uncontrollable hand, but when he raised his head to stare at the battlefield in front of him.
He discovered that his friends and acquaintances who had died and the soldiers who slaughtered them were now staring at him.
The bodies of the dead and the living were drenched in blood.
Their eyes were bloodshot and a wicked smile spread on their lips as they simultaneously said.
”You did not deserve to live...”
”AH!”
Calvin exclaimed.
”Ivan!”
”Why are you crying?”
