”Mr Avery, this is the roof” Secretary Kyle remarked as he reached the roof with Theodore Avery Upon opening a door, they caht outside Theodore was stunned, unable to believe the existence of regular huht on par with Dark Sun As Dark Sun's head surgeon, he was fully aware of the invincibility of this creation Kyle frowned and drew his gun Five continuous shots reverberated as he finished off five of the terrorists, ere nothingat Kyle with incredulity ”Oh, please don't be surprised As head secretary for the Solaris Emperor, it is a necessity to be equipped with skills of self preservation,” Kyle said calh I don't want to rush you, please finish your task quickly The current econoet back as soon as possible” ”In addition, due to safety reasons, it would be preferable to return to the special office” Kyle calht, secretly astonished The years spent with the Solaris E His face remained outwardly schooled to indifference Theodore Avery paused, ”Do you not care about Devon Solaris?” Kyle smiled politely, ”The Solaris Emperor does not want ht between laughing and crying but he had to quickly finish what he ca, black suitcase and shouted, ”Dark Sun!” Dark Sun had long since noticed Theodore's arrival In his desperation to get near Dr Avery, he was slashed twice by the relentless kidnappers ”Put it down and leave!” Dark Sun roared Kyle responded i the heavy door shut as per eency protocol At the same time, Dark Sun ran over to the black suitcase and pressed its top Four silver lines spread outwards from the suitcase fro these lines with a bang The object inside was separated into three parts: a silver rod segrip of deep-red skeleton claws Dark Sun rapidly assembled the Reaper's Scythe in two steps He then hefted and swung the scythe in an arc, its large blade i all the attacks Dark Sun ju the Reaper's Scythe, which stood taller than hi aura el ”It's tie There will be nohim, but Dark Sun's accurate yet rapid dance with the Reaper's Scythe created an ied Dark Sun's attacks coer had to worry about his fine steel claws not withstanding the blows He knew that it was almost impossible to break this scythe The scythe was forh the very latest technology The a just the rawthe same materials to create a second Reaper's Scythe would be in vain Naturally, the gigantic and durable blade was incredibly heavy An average person would have difficulty in just lifting it, let alone using it as a weapon However, this heavy scythe was best suited for Dark Sun with his strengthened muscles and skeleton The heavy weapon, coth, multiplied his destructive potential His nimble and perfect movements allowed Dark Sun to brandish the Reaper's Scythe at an unbelievable speed Only a cyborg like Dark Sun could fully exhibit the prowess of the scythe Its first victi terrorist The invincible and terrifying scythe sliced through not only the heavy axe, but also the terrorist's muscular body

The terrorist's eyes nearly popped out in astonishment Blood dripped slowly frole red line slowly e to his nose, throat and even his chest, splitting hilie piece ofyellow fluid It then fell onto the floor with a splat, s in opposite directions Various pink internal organs streaked with blood were visible His heart could still be seen beating faintly away Of course, since its oas separated in two, it could only pulsate weakly a fewstill ”Stop!” Enclosed within the helicopter, Devon Solaris continued his attelass He didn't want his little brother to kill people, to be stained with blood and most definitely didn't wish to see him carry that kind of weapon – A scythe! Oh God! What had their deceased father been thinking? He rim reaper Why else would he want to create such a weapon…? However, Dark Sun didn't want to let these people off Anyone or anything that posed a threat to his brother h such a htest The kris wielder could not react fast enough and was suddenly tossed into the air… He looked down to realize that his body had reround while only his head was airborne However, that was not the end Though the hoodlu the dual katara crossed them to defend hih the teapons, slicing the hoodluh his body ”Scythe, extend!” Dark Sun made use of the microchip in his brain to command a simple device within the Scythe The tip of the scythe suddenly extended and pierced through the hoodlu the hts of retreat formed as they took a few steps back However, before they could escape, an ice-cold feeling cut through one of the terrorists' waist… Thestar-wielder, who had been a little distance aas overwhel towards the door ”Reaper's Claw, release!” As Dark Sun faced the last survivor, the red skeleton claws released it's grip and the scythe's blade spiraled towards the kidnapper, nailing hiround His li still ”Reaper's Claw, return!” The blade spiraled back into the air and returned to its original position with a clang, coain Dark Sun stood quietly ”Hunt coht and sunny roof of the building It was as if the blinding rays of the sun were not enough to conquer thesilently a pounded upon caught Dark Sun's attention With a faint smile on his face, he turned and walked over to the helicopter As he pulled open no, ripped the entire door off with his sli out SMACK! The crisp sound of a slap resounded across the rooftop

”Why did you do that?!” Devon exclai-accurets and discontentment But at that moment, only the echo of his words ree would actually hit him… Devon buried his face in his palms when he noticed Daren in his shredded, blood drenched clothes, holding his enor like a demon that had crawled out from the depths of hell With a choked voice he said, ”Don't you understand that I don't want you to be like this? Why can't you be a normal boy? Don't let your hands be stained with blood… Don't be like… the demon father always said you were” Daren was utterly perplexed He had never seen gege like this He could only pat gege's back helplessly and cautiously apologised, ”Sorry, gege, Dar won't dare do this again” Even though Devon could not accept the i a massacre, he never truly blamed him He had always understood that this was not entirely didi's fault He could only place the blame on their late father or… himself It was he who had forced Daren's hand when he placed hie that you will behave like a norain” Devon took a deep breath He would absolutely never use adjectives like 'terrifying' or 'frightening' to describe his little brother Never! Daren looked at gege in a daze, a fearful expression on his face ”What's wrong? Do you not want to make this proe now, be a norain!” Suddenly, explosions resounded seely from below, closely followed by violent treed didi closely, and considered carrying him to the safety of the special office, only to realize that didi was no longer a seven-year-old kid Although he looked sli his full strength, Devon barely round, much less carry him By then, the explosions were just underfoot Daren lowered his head saying, ”Gege… Dar is unable to grant your wishes Dar is no longer a nor all e, all the operations that Dar has undergone will then becoined that didi would think that way The explosions continued to grow nearer, rending the ground asunder and sending debris flying Devon quickly hugged his little brother, not letting any of the stray debris hurt hier than him, and that he himself was probably the one who really needed the protection, Devon just could not leave him be, after all he was the older brother… Devon stared blankly as ulfed his entire body in its shadow… ”Please let Dar protect you, gege… It's not just gege ants to protect Dar, Dar wants to protect gege too” Devon lowered his head to look at his brother, as shorter by half a head The little brother who had barely reached his chest had already grown so tall… As the building began to collapse, Daren hugged gege fir beneath their feet Devon looked down to find his feet dangling in the air Thethee, I just realized that I no longer hate Father…” Devon was taken aback, No longer hate Father…? He could not resist looking at Daren to verify whether his smile was forced How could he not hate Father after so many years of inflicted torture? Daren revealed a smile that appeared as pure as the white clouds in the sky, ”Ge, look at how pretty the sunset is!” Devon turned to see dazzling shades of red, orange and various other colours bathing the setting sun Unable to contain their brilliance, several stars had peeked out in the darkening sky The residual brilliance of the setting sun juxtaposed with the night sky had a peculiar beauty, just like the innocent yet vicious Dark Sun Devon trained his eyes on his little brother's face, only to see the latter's adorable and happy expression ”Being able to protect gege is really fantastic Ge, Dar truly thinks this way Gege, can you stop hating Father? You see, if not for Father, ouldn't be able to fly in the sky like this” Daren sht, thoroughly enjoying the caress of the evening breeze This was the blue sky he had yearned for ever since he was young, and to be able to fly freely in it was the greatest enjoyment ”Are you happy, Dar?” Devon suddenly asked Daren blinked and nodded furiously, ”Yes, I'ood friend (Ezart shi+vered), fought with a strong student (Shain Baylian covered his antly) and e!” ”Is that so…” Devon revealed a gentle se that you will be as happy as you are now, everyday!” ”Okay!” Daren readily replied The blissful silhouettes of the two brothers faded into the sky Devon s as you're happy, no matter what you want to do … Go, do whatever pleases you If you want to destroy the world, I'll prepare the ammunition If you want to destroy e will no longer restrict you I'll do my best to protect you, your freedom and let you fly freely in your own sky I swear to protect you, e is really wonderful Ever since I was young, it had always been gege protecting inally, Dar had resented their father's antipathy in forcing torturous, drawn out operations upon him However, he now felt truly relieved that he had accepted those operations Those agonies had given hie As if it was fated, Father's hatred had given hie, both Dar and Dark Sun were born to protect you I swear I'll do my utmost to do so
