38 CHAPTER 38: YOUR TWISTED FATE! (1/2)

The air continued to swell in immense darkness and negative vibes. Her chains were broken but, she was as if a monster who was unsealed from the darkest depths. Zeran was in his thoughts, as he saw Ru who was oozing with a menacing aura that'd cause destruction around her wake at any moment,

(”D*mn! What's gotten into Ru?”)

(”I thought she'd be happy to see me but, that smile of hers isn't happy...”).

Her eyes were brimming with desperation seeped in malicious intent. One of her dark chaotic tentacles rose up, as it seemed to target Zeran. Suddenly, she blurted out very expressively,

”DIE ZERA!”.

Her tentacle tried to strike Zeran down such as it was a lethal whip, lashing out its painful thorns. Thankfully, he dodged her sudden attack in a split second, using his quick feet. He shrouded his face with a problematic and worried look, as he saw the ground that was struck by her dark tentacle, since the floor almost looked-like it was corroded by acid. In turn, he felt more cautious of Ru's sudden impulse. Though, he still tries to reason with her and reach out her heart, despite what's coming for him,

”Ru what's gotten into you?!”.

Ru replies forcefully,

”JUST DIE ZERA!”

”SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE!”.

As he heard her desperate words,he scratched his head. He was in his convuluded thoughts sooner or later,

(”Has she gone nuts? Somehow I prefer the weirder Ru now...”).

He took a glance of Ru's menacing face. He noticed that beyond her intimidating appearance, she was leaking out crystalline tears. As it seemed, her tears were depicting her immense sorrow within, in which she was feeling grievous pain from the inside for her dear Zeran and for herself too. Zeran sighed and closed his eyes for a few moments. He was convinced in his thoughts, as he saw the pitiful Ru who was bursting out her expressive actions,

(”So she's crying like Mai too...”)

(”Really, these two beautiful Goddesses have so much in common...”)

(”I might as well talk it out but, this time with all my heart and seriousness, since It's Ru...”).

He opened his eyes and waved his hand added with a greeting filled with a smile,

”Hey there Ru!”.

Soon enough, he was in his thoughts over his previous action,

(”That wasn't acting natural...”).

Though, he still tried to continue his pacing, as he wore an endearing face, while he was looking at her, trying to comfort and soothe her pent-up emotions. Then, he said with all of his feelings with his arms trying to reach out for her heart and her inner self,

”You don't have to cry anymore...I'm here to save you now...”.

The atmosphere became silent for a sudden moment. Her deathly aura seemed to be gone too. Ru closed her eyes, as if his words reached her and made her to leave out a smile. Zeran was happy, since he felt that Ru had snapped out of her rattling thoughts. He tried to reach her out with his hand. Suddenly, the air of malice bursted out from her again yet, it was even stronger that made Zeran to resist and anchor himself on the ground. More than that, her black winds of death were releasing intensely than ever before. Soon, she responds to him with a demonic smile amplified with a laugh of a crazed devil woman, spilling fear to anyone's mortal eyes,

”S-save me?!”

”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

”SAVE THE EVIL GODDESS?!”

”ARE YOU INSANE ZERA?!”

”A HERO? SAVING AN EVIL OR DARK GODDESS?!”.

Though, Zeran swung out his hand and proved his statements with his determined words,

”Call me insane but, I will really save you...”.

She reples,

”WHO WAS THE ONE WHO ENSLAVED HIM?”.

Thereon, another tentacle from the abyss tried to stab at Zeran's body, such as it was a powerful stinger. Though, he was able to block its attempt with his impervious golden claw. Afterwards, he regained his normal stance and responded to her statement with added humor,

”Well technically, you did but, you also took care of me...”

”And I felt glad with that...”

”Not only that, you're cooking is very delicious”.

Ru gritted her raging teeth, as she heard his wholesome words for her but, she left out more tears from her painful face. It's as if she was in a huge conflict of herself. She continued to lash out her demonic whip-like tentacles at him again but, he was able to dodge all of her furies quickly. Soon, she says more and more,

”WHO WAS THE ONE WHO MADE HIM KILL ALL OF HIS ALLIES?!”.

More than that, she released a strong gush of an ominous wind around her. The winds were so powerful that even made Zeran to be flung to the wall due to the dense burst of the black wind. He felt grievous pain but, he still tried to get up and reach her, regardless of the pain he had incurred. He catched his breath and he steeled himself on the ground. Then, he says with a smile,

”Yeah...I guess you made me do it but, you also let me see-through what scary things they're hiding...”

”Besides you didn't kill my other treasured true companions...”

”And yeah...if it weren't for them...It'll take longer for me to get here...”.

Ru's furiousness was gradually rising up, as she heard more of his indirect praises for what she had done before, in which those were the malicious deeds in her current mindset. Though, it seemed Zeran had a different mindset for her devious actions from before that broadened his thoughts. Ru just tried to strike him more with her lashing tentacles but, he was just dodging them like they were mere predictable love taps. Ru let out more of her deafening words of a demonness,

”WHO TRICKED HIM AND USED HIM AS BAIT?”.

Zeran replies once again,

”Yeah...it was you too but, that was the only way to crush that mayor from the inside and besides you came back for me...”.

Her tentacles didn't strike him but, those were siphoning lots of dark energies around the place instead. Soon, her flowing abyss tentacles were forming chaotic spheres seeped in deep darkness. The spheres looked very much unstable that was filled with negative vibes. Zeran gulped and readied himself for her next destructive attack. The air became stagnant for a moment. Suddenly, Ru blurted out her deafening godly voice that reverberated around the area, such as the true dark Goddess was in front of him,

”WHO MADE HIM AND HER FRIEND INTO A PLAYTHING IN A TWISTED GAME?”.

Zeran's ears cringed and his whole body felt disturbed by her divine voice, making him to be anchored down by the immense gravity of her divine words. Then, Ru threw her chaotic spheres of destructive energy unto him, as she had an opportunity. Though, Zeran was able to recover from his state fast, so he casted out immediately,
