Chapter 44: The first heroine
An anger of the boss was understandable.
Not only he got forced to use one of the formations that costs a lot power, the whole harmony of their 'hell' also got disturbed by Markas. His eyse were bloodshot, not even trying to enjoy that situation.
The pitiful eyes and scared expressions would usually arouse his excitement, but Cerze just locked his eyes on Markas who was ignoring him.
The ten years old boy continued to punch that fallen wall, his eyes crying and crying.
"YOU FUCKERS OUT OF MY WAY."
Since his killing intent was not working on a desperate Markas, Cerze shouted like a beast at others and forced them to move... The scared children were as if well trained soldiers, going back to the hell in a row.
This was quite scary sight indeed.
Only Vayve and Yuna stood still.
They were scared too, but in order to move forward, this emotion was needed. Furthermore, fear also means that they are a humans that can feel more emotion and so, they had to fight along with it.
Turning around to face the boss, Vayve and Yuna bit their lips then picked their own weapons.
The small lady went for that stick while Vayve took out a blood coin that was a little shiny from the amount of sweat he has already released.
"Markas! Stop punching that wall and turn around!"
"!"
Awakened by a loud shout coming from Vayve, Markas turned around and looked at the boss with his eyes trembling. This boss was eliciting so many vicious feelings that Markas gasped, but then, his eyes narrowed a second later.
During his stay here, Markas has formed way more emotions himself to the point where he was keen on saving up his friends.
The reason for him getting up a power while conquering the treasure gloves was simply for that!
He stepped forward and didn't stop at all after moving past Vayve and Yuna.
At this point, it was clear for both of them that Markas was ready to give up his life. That's why, Vayve didn't stay idle and moved forward.
He had that one blood coin.
And so Yuna had her own weapon.
All three friends went forward.
However, Markas suddenly accelerated. He swept through the tunnel while giving everything, then his body found itself in front of the boss. Feeling that presence close, Markas let out a loud shout.
"I won't let my friends die! I have had enough! Enough of seeing my closed ones dying!"
"YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?"
But Cerze was way too serious. When Markas let out his punch, that small hand got instantly grabbed by his big hand, then clenched so hard that the sound of the bones was loud, terrifying, but also an instant one.
It happened in a mere second, but Vayve and Yuna stopped.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Then, it was their time to awaken from that petrification born out from the boss' pressure! They bit their lips to the point where there was a blood, then they threw themselves straight at Cerze.
But the man was merciless.
As usual, he enjoyed that pain which was coming from a Coin Punch and Yuna's slashes... In the meantime, his grasp was becoming so stronger that Markas' cries became unbearable for the rest.
They were already pained, but now, even more.
It increased the strength behind their attacks, but was it enough to change the tides of that pitiful looking battle?
"AHHHHHHHH! MY ARM! MY ARMMM! AHHHH!"
Then Cerze teared off the arm of ten years old boy! This arm got sent to the side with a glove that was a treasure.
But without any user, can it be called a treasure?
"Let him go! Let him go, you monster!"
In the midst of the cries that were coming from two other brats, Cerze just kept venting his anger. He grasped the head of the young man, then began pressing going for his usual routine. At the same time, his other hand reached for another arm.
One by one, a sound of the bones cracking could be heard along with the cries of Markas who was at the boss' whim.
This was truly a disaster!
"You are next, brat."
When these words rang out, Cerze looked at Yuna whose lips were non stop moving to stop him from killing Markas. But the boss was merciless, his killing intent and vicious technique utilizing that power to shatter a skull of the young man...
"NOOOOO!"
Just like that, Markas died... His body got thrown to the side where Vayve was... The money magician was also stupefied, his eyes looking at the body of Markas which couldn't be called body anymore.
Yuna's cries were the loud one now, but Vayve felt a pressure overtaking him.
This ten years old kid was someone close to Vayve. It was not a close friendship, but they had gone through a lot happy and sad moments.
Of course, Vayve was comparing Markas to his MCs who were like his family. Though they knew nothing about Vayve, he himself knew everything. It will change as the time moves on, but Vayve had that knowledge of their origins and so on.
The point was that Vayve felt an unimaginable pain clenching his heart to the point where it was hard to breathe.
It was a friend, a normal friend yet it hurt so much.
What would it feel to lose someone more important?
It would be... too scary!
Vayve's eyes turned to Yuna who was all pale and terrified. Her whole expression and trembling body was enough to cause Vayve to desperately move, but when he moved, his legs betrayed him and he fell onto his ass.
Just like that, he could only look at Yuna's hand being grabbed by Cerze who aimed to break it before playing with the rest of her bones.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The ear piercing scream left Yuna's lips, then she continued to tremble in an utmost pain! Yuna's blood was good one, but not as good as Vayve. Cerze just planned to deal with the two of them, then keep Vayve all chained for the eternity.
Before that, he is going to play with his victim as if that sadistic side awakened thoroughly within him.
"Stop... Stop for fuck's sake!"
Vayve did his best to stand up, go in between them and just split them apart from each other. But his legs were shaking and so he was falling just after raising his body a little. His hands were desperately going all over the ground, then he finally stumbled on the glove...
The treasure that destroyed Markas' family and then, his closed one's lives.
-
As an immense pain enveloped her body, Yuna couldn't stop herself from letting out a painful screams. It was so painful and she was only that eight years old lady. She was so young, but already doing her best to survive in the brutal world.
Furthermore, her heart was also thumping in a torment from a death of a friend.
And the one who was very close to her was letting out a gasps that also could hurt her feelings.
In order to not worsen the situation for herself and Vayve, Yuna was desperately reaching out to cover her mouth! Just so that Vayve can calm down...
Then, Vayve himself quitened down and Yuna could only hear herself and the boss' low growls that were slowly penetrating her mind.
"Ugh... What was that..."
However, after a few minutes, something struck the boss' side which was strong enough to bury itself within his flesh. He reached out and touched a wound tainting his fingers with his own blood. He could also feel something sturdy protruding from a new wound.
This alerted Cerze and his eyes turned to the source of that pain.
Vayve.
"After that brat died, you inherited his gloves? So what?"
Vayve didn't answer him, instead, he extended his arm then a blood coin within the boss' side began shaking. It shook for a few seconds, then came back to his side. It was the power of the gloves that could be utilized better by Vayve as he had MC System with an information window.
He was already utilizing the gloves way better than Markas.
Then, an air trembled around his hands and Vayve let out another coin toss that was faster, stronger and deadly.
Because of that, the boss had to step back and so Yuna got a freedom.
Her eyes went up as she fell.
Vayve was already here, his back wider than usual. He was clenching that coin with his black gloves that were like another thin skin on his hands. Then, his voice entered her mind.
"It was way too painful, Yuna... From now on, my heart, mind and body won't hesitate to protect you."
She was only eight years old after all.
Though Vayve had surely not that kind of emotion, Yuna's eyes went wider as she also became a little special.
Now, not only Vayve had a 'MC System' like thing in this hellish tunnel.
[Do you want to become the first heroine of Vayve?]
The first heroine!
Yuna's eyes blinked as an unknown 'object' appeared in front of her, then within her mind, she just answered that unconsciously. The answer was naturally 'Yes' and the lady's body began feeling a sudden surge of a power.
It was as if her talents were thoroughly being awakened or maybe her 'settings' were being changed?
Who knows!
One thing was sure - Yuna got enough power to stand up, take a stick yet again with her other healthly arm, then come closer to Vayve.
Next to him, Yuna got another message.
[A moon's pebble has been planted within your body.]
At the same time, her stick let out a pale gray glow.
"I want to kill him... Yuna."
"I also... want to kill him, Vayve."
Go for it!
