Chapter 17: Only Hope!

The radius of the flames heading towards him was enormous and impossible to dodge! Tyler could only stand there and watch the terrifyingly hot flames ravage their path towards him!

Before he knew it, he had been blown by the velocity of the flames. By the time he could comprehend what had just happened to him, the pain of being burned alive coursed through his entire body.

"Aarrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

He let out a blood-curdling scream as his whole body was covered in flames that sizzled his skin to an extreme!

Everything around him had turned into a burning infernal and he was in the center of it. It was like he had suddenly teleported into the hottest parts of hell! The heat reached all the way to his bones!

His clothes were burned to the ashes and the skin beneath was revealed to be decorated with patches of sizzling flames that made it look like beneath his skin was a fire trying to escape!

Half of his hair had been burned to the skin.

Only the raging sound of flames dancing in the wind and his blood-curdling scream filled the world.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

To make matters worse, the headaches had reached an extreme as the voices in his head went rampant in excitement!

"Let me out.....Let me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"LEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT MEEEEEEEEE OUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Buckling to the burning ground, Tyler struggled to keep his sanity! All the muscles in his body were clenched tightly but even that wouldn't solve anything!

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

His fists were clenched to the tightest and trembled profusely.

-I have to find a way! Th-ere are.... no dark energy sources here

-What do I do?!

"Let me out!"

-Shut up! Let me think!

Tyler's trembling eyes finally regained some clarity. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to scream.

-Can't I use my own emotions?

This question had crossed his mind multiple times and he had asked Ramiel but he did not get any answer.

Even though it wouldn't work, he had to give it a try at least. Dark energy came from negative emotions and he was filled with them at the moment- anger, agony, pain, fear, regret.

-I have to try!

-But how?!

Usually, the negative emotions he got from others would automatically turn into dark energy that he would absorb. His negative emotions didn't do such a thing. So how was he supposed to get dark energy?

The red gecko's silhouette appeared in the flames as it gracefully walked closer and closer to Tyler. Each moment he wasted without discovering a way to use his negative emotions and watching the gecko draw closer felt like he was falling more and more into the abyss of death!

His negative emotions were his only hope!

Closing his eyes so he wouldn't be distracted by the approaching red gecko, Tyler began to concentrate.

The twitching of his tightly shut eyes showed that he was struggling yet the red gecko's real body had begun emerging from the flames and he could sense it.

-Come on Tyler, Come on Tyler, Come on...

Tyler recalled everything that made him angry! His helplessness, his poor planning, his weakness, the fact that if he failed, his parents would die!

He could already feel the gecko's breath and oppressive might, yet he hadn't advanced in the slightest. Nevertheless, he continued with a greater fervor! Eliciting all negative emotion he could!

The gecko was less than a meter from Tyler, its smiling cute face decorated with the incandescent light from the flames.

It tilted its head curiously like a kitten engrossed in the movement of a ball of yarn.

Suddenly, it swung its two-spiked tail at a terrifying speed and slammed Tyler with it sending him flying off into the flames in the background!

"AGHHHHHHH!"

Two gaping wounds appeared on Tyler's chest. They were so deep that his beating heart could be seen. If those spikes had gone an inch deeper, Tyler would be dead.

Blood quickly gushed out of the wounds and created a bloody cover on his chest.

Tyler's flight was cut short by a burning tree which broke immediately on impact!

Tyler struggled to lift himself and his gaze landed on the silhouette of the red gecko gracefully walking towards him.

-yes!

Internally, he had succeeded in turning his negative emotions into dark energy which he immediately absorbed!

Slowly, golden specs started accumulating in his emerald green eyes. His nails grew longer! And his canines became sharper!

"HAHAHAHA...YOU FOOL!!!!! YOU LET ME OUT!"
