568 DLXVIII. The Final Boss (1/2)
Kron and Atran, not knowing all those dynamics that belonged to the past, respected a religious silence, with their weapons still in their hands, ready to intervene despite Dag ordering them not to do so for any reason in the world.
...
Dag exhaled in a deep breath, trying to calm down and think lucidly, knowing that that moment would be crucial, and marveling that Hakon wanted to talk and not immediately go on the attack.
”You are not the first person I meet who wants to seize my powers. If you really spied on me at all times, you should know. You all keep saying that they're too big for a miserable kid like me, but every time you try to steal dark matter from me, it defends me and makes me capable of things I would otherwise never have been able to do. I never expected the man who killed Brann who caused my father Stein's death to be also the man who spied on me all these years. At this point, I agree with you on one thing: it is obvious that one of us must die and that the other must continue to live with the dark powers, the same powers that even the Xis fear, failing to foresee them” the young Master stated, showing a certain maturity in his reasoning.
”Excellent, I see you came to the conclusions yourself...”
”However... you too are no different from the others, you too ignore the real reason that still drives me to fight. I was looking for you to avenge my father's name and my sister Gridd's father's name, but my main focus is not you, Hakon, it has never been you” Dag continued.
”Uh?”
The enemy's eyes ajar and he tried to understand the meaning behind that statement.
”You are nothing but one of the many pawns maneuvered by them, by our true enemies, those who have forced the entire human race to get down on their knees, to live according to their rules, and to die indiscriminately, as if our lives had no value! My job is to restore what was originally there, to bring my planet back to life, eliminating that alien scum forever! I am not afraid of you and if you believe more in the false promises of someone who belongs to a race other than yours, rather than the words of a human being, then your life has lost its meaning and I will put an end to it!”
”Well... let's begin...” the leader of Lies Of Loki whispered, moving his neck to one side and the other and creaking his joints, warming his body and preparing for the impending fight.
While waiting for his enemy to make the first move, not being sure he expected it, Dag attracted Niva, his Clan's ability to recognize the power of opposing warriors.
