75 Precipice of Fake Defea (2/2)
”Hai!” (English: Yes!)
”Ryōkai” (English: Roger that”)
Conveying that, sounding like an ongoing act of monologue from someone else's perception, Kurenai, utilizing the blood wings, enveloped the Gorgon whole as if eaten by a red predator alive, and inside the dome of blood, the Gorgon went, not being able to move that much due to the cramped space and there...a requited skull session unprecedentedly lit up.
”I thank you, Euryale... And I'm so sorry for calling you at that time, I can't think of anyone else strong to held that vast army and in the end, I still need to reclaim my power. Sorry.”
The Gorgon then calmed down as the Synthesized Angel touched its forehead, and then
”Please... Kill me.” In some sort of telekinesis, the Gorgon speaks in a voice that is clearly in the embrace of suffering and the wanton desire to be set free that caused shock in Kurenai's countenance...
”Why?” Asked the Synthesized Angel.
”The moment he tamed me, I think of nothing but going on a rampage... I've killed a million now.”
”We are practically standing in the same thin ice. I feel the same as they exploited me and from merely seeing my counterparts used as some sort of a personal belonging as well” Kurenai shared with practically a saddened demeanor, but the Gorgon's resolve is whole and unshakeable.
”Yes... But unlike you, I have no chance to redeem myself. I failed to save my sister, Medusa from drowning in her own power and now she's dead. The only reason for me to continue thriving, now...dead. Truth be told, I was happy when you summoned me right in front of that battlefield. Thoughts like 'I'm finally gonna be killed' crossed my mind... but unexpectedly you gave me a portion of your exemplary healing ability.”
”Sorry” Kurenai bowed her head with some sort of regret tainting her majestic countenance.
”No... I understand. If you had not done it than you could have failed the escape. Now, Please take my life as retribution for all of the wrongs that I have had done, and please consider that time when you summoned me to divert your enemies the final remission of my many sins. Take my immortality. A power that I did not ask nor deserve and then please behead me...I'm ready to meet Lord Hades. Perhaps he is more tolerable than that assertive hero.”
”Is this what you wish?”
”Yes.”
”I understand”
”Thank you...”
”Oh and Euryale,
”What?”
”I'll make sure I will avenge you,” Kurenai claimed with a very chivalrous expression.
”Thank you...” So the Gorgon said, with a very satisfied look in her still-stressed facade while leaving little words all of which are scambled in one deterrent message...
”That man, he is not dead yet. A thousand of the Kingdom's soldier is also approaching, including the king himself. Please take heed. But, there's no need to worry about that hero. He just have great vitality but his paradigm is not that strong, especially without my aid. All you need to worry about is that priest who can cancel out paradigms... and also King Aurelius himself... Oh and, you all better live. I've heard that these humans we're transported here for warfare. I'll be rooting for you and for the little girl's triumph... Synthesized Angel, Kurenai... Now then, please do proceed.”
”Yes... Thank you and... Goodbye” Kurenai then raised her scythe and beheaded the Gorgon in a way that made her head float on air matching perfectly with the exotic red atmosphere and then blood started to ooze out from the main body... blood that's slowly becoming one with the girl's majestic cardinal wings, symbolizing that once again, she got a portion of her power back.”
”Let's meet again someday, Euryale.” She said while looking up...Then, the Gorgon's warning filled her ecstatic thoughts...
”The King huh...” Fixing her sight from afar she exclaimed in the adrenaline of re-meeting with her sworn-nemesis who wishes to keep her as a material for battle.
”Shiro... It's almost time for your limit right?”
”Ahahaha... Are you okay with that Violation though? Another hour in this form, in exchange for four month-sleep and hibernation?.”
”Oh, oni-chan... Right.”
She then relinquished the big dome of blood, leaving with a much more majestic pair of wings, and then she approached the Iron Maiden where Jaiden has been sealed, to keep her part of the bargain of saving Jaiden...
She then stood in front of it and made her bloody wings touch the tiny and rusty openings of which a liter of blood passed through and inside will mutate with Jaiden for a reason unknown.
”He's safe for now, Shiro-san”
”Now then, let us deal with the king, shall we? They always like to fake defeat... Now its time for a retaliation...with oni-chama of course.”
And then, it was not yonder that the footsteps of a wide array of approaching armies began to be heard echoing through the air... and the buried herolike a risen dead slowly standing up again from the heavy mountain debris that engulfed him, but now a broken pride in his face,...
”Here they all come... Shiro-san. The very reason why I suffered, and the very reason that explains as to how I meet you all... The Corrupt Kingdom of Aurelius.”
