Bab 155: ×Chapter 142×Sweet Release Of Death
*Dxd World*
*Greek Pantheon*
*Monday*
*Am/Pm*
*Late Late Late Night*
Haile and Hera were looking at each other with a groaning Melody behind them, Haile, disappointed eyes, Hera, Guilty but not sorry, she felt like she was justified in doing this, Melody was trying to seduce her man after all.
She deserves to die a gruesome death, but now she particularly felt guilty about it because now Haile probably hates her guts, she just regrets all of it now, she glanced at Melody in thought.
."Mm, I think I can get her help to change back, how she feels is very reminiscent of the undead of the Divine Domain of the Underworld where my brother rules, do you want me to call him?."Hera asked suggesting a method, her brother would be able to do it no problem.
Haile frowned, then he got up and walk to Melody."I think I might have a better method."He said seriously, he took a deep breath and put his hands in Zen closing his eyes.
.""*Deep breath in* *Deep breath out*"".
*Whoosh*!!!
*Smack*!
Hera was shocked and baffled, she put her hand on her face."What the...?!?!."She exclaimed out, she slowly got up from kneeling.
Berserk Melody had a seemingly shocked expression as well, a red five finger hand print could be seen on her face as she stood still.
.""Wake up call""."Haile said casually and smoothly as he turned around and sheath his hand at his side, he walked back to the bed and sat down.
Both Hera and Melody looked at him stunned, Hera felt a slight pity for the girl."That is not going to work you know, how can a simple slap wake up a person that has gone mad."She said shaking her head.
.""That hurt Haile"".
Melody who was zombified with white eyes and blood flowing from them now had the light come back, Haile really knocked some sense back into her.
Hera turned to Melody."...The fuck...that simple, so I could've just punch her in the face and I won't have been in trouble."She said with her eyes twitching slightly, she snapped her fingers and released Melody's body.
."Could it be that simple, this is my Divine hand we are talking about, I reboot her brain and consciousness with my mighty touch, it worked so that is all that matters."Haile said calmly as he lapped his foot casually not speaking on how it was just a normal slap.
.""*Sniffle*"".
Melody's eyes because wet with tears as she looked at Haile, now that everything was coming back to her she couldn't believe her eyes, she wanted nothing more than to jump on him now, but, she couldn't.
Haile raised an eyebrow at her."What is it, did it hurt that much, want me to rub it?."He asked her, he didn't even hit her hard though, but maybe she is fragile right now.
Melody shook her head as she wiped away her tears failing silently, she can't stand this, she cannot, she can't.'What should I do, I don't want this anymore.'She thought with heartwrenching feelings in her mind, she almost couldn't bare it.
Haile seeing her expression frowned, he rubbed his temples with stress."*Sigh* I'm sorry about all this Melody, I know it must be hard for you to understand but I can take it away, all the memories of all this, you can go back to being a normal human, forget about me."He said apologetically, he reached forward his hands to her.
*Whoooshh*!!!
Melody hearing what he said without hesitation turned around and ran away and out the door leaving behind nothing but tears to remind that she was once here.
Haile now stood awkwardly with his hand out grasping the air."Um, was it something I said?."He turned and asked Hera as he was baffled.
."*Sigh* you are indeed a heartless villain, it seems you haven't yet consider how that would affect her, she likes you alot, do you know what she said to me when she heard that we have captured you."Hera said shaking her head, she as a fellow woman would obviously understand her heart better.
Haile raised an eyebrow."What did she say, did she hate me for this, it is understandable though, I will make it up to her, why did she run away."He asked again, it was just silly.
."Why are you trying to play oblivious now, what happened to the man that play me out of my dress and even made me kill my husband for him, he seemed to understand the heart very well."Hera asked as she folded her arms sitting on the bed.
Haile opened his mouth but Hera put up a finger, he frowned but let her go on, Hera spoke."The first thing she asked was not to spare her life, that would be a pretty normal reaction, what she asked for was to just see you one last time before she dies."
."So desperately, a man that never paid her any attention, for what reason I don't know, but she loves you obviously, but seems to be holding back herself".
."Now this man she so loves purposed to basically remove her from his existence by removing her memories, in her mind she is now a parasite".
."A nuisance that you want to get rid of, but, she doesn't want that, she wants to remember, you think you have caused her pain before but what you did just now was devastating to her, she is hurt, as the Goddess of marriage I can feel her scars, I can feel her fatigue, her pain, her misery, it cannot be described with just words, she has been through alot, I honestly pity the poor girl."Hera said with a motherly sadness in her eyes as she touched her stomach, her divinity sending her warm signals.
As she finished her eyes widened."Oh I'm sorry darling I didn't mean to be rude to you just then, I don't know what took over me."She said apologizing to him.
All the while Haile was silent as he layed his chin on his interlocked fingers in thought, in his effort to make things better he made things worse, he had hurt one of his own people, quite badly it seems.
."Darling if you want to make this right, might I suggest right now, before it's to late."Hera said elegantly as she appeared by the door, her head was high and her posture posh radiation true Empress like majesty.
Haile got up from the bed."...dammit, why is all this trouble coming my way, next time I see a woman I'm keeping my head straight."He said as he walked to the door briskly.

*Outside The Prison*
.""*Sob*!!!"".
.""*Sob*!!!"".
Running across the island away from the Crescent Prison was a crying heart broken Melody, tears rained from her eyes as it drown the ants that probably crawls the ground.
.'I can't take this anymore.'
.'It's not fair'.
.'It's not my fault I'm this way'.
.'It's not my fault'.
.'It's not my fault'.
Melody continued running never preparing to stop, she just ran and cried, hopefully she can cry out all her sorrows and the pain will disappear, she could only hope.
Right now she was not feeling good, she felt like she was being punished for a sin that was not her own, something that she had no control over, she didn't choose her life, it was chosen for her.
She was just an unlucky soul who was born at the wrong time, wrong place and from the wrong people now she has to suffer and pay for it, never knowing happiness, how can it be fair to her.
.'God tell me why, why do this to me, I did nothing wrong, why make my life hell but not give me a way out to know heaven'.
.'This can't be it for me!'.
Melody clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh and cut it open, blood dripping all on the ground as she blazed through the grass field of giant trees, she glanced behind her and only felt greater disappointment.
.'...why me, why not someone else.'Melody smiled with bitter tears streaming down her face, her eyes became blurry just like her life.
*Trip*
.""Ahh!"".
*Bam*!!!
Melody fell over a root from the tree as she rolled and hit another tree, she had bruises all on her hands and feet, her neck and head was bleeding a bit also, but she struggled and got back up continuing to run.
But this time she had a limp and was moving at a snails pace, she struggled along anyways, it was almost like she was also punishing herself, just like life had done to her, she had gotten quite used to it by now.
She ran and ran stumbling more but getting back it, where her great power had gone she doesn't know, she was feeling more human than ever.
."Maybe..I have already died, maybe they killed me already, now this is hell, that must be it, life cannot be like this, no happiness, why do we exist at all, just to suffer?."Melody said out loud calmly as tears still fell, she stopped running as she looked infront of her.
In front of her was nothing but drop, in fire, she looked down at the flames below with an eerily calm expression, she looked up and around at the other islands in the distance, something just isn't right.
."Just let it be over then...I give up, you won life, you won."Melody said with a smile, it felt quite nice to say that, hopefully she is not already dead and can go to somewhere just as nice.
She looked down and took a step forward, she close her eyes, then another step getting ready to jump off the Island and into the hell fire below.
.
.
.""STOP NOW MELODY!"".
Melody hearing the sudden voice trembled and her knees became weak, she slipped and almost fell off but she dug her finger nails into the ground as best she could holding on for one more meeting with her beloved.
Out from the forest of tree behind her Haile and Hera came from nowhere, Haile had a frown on his face and a disappointed look in his eyes, Hera slowed down her pace till she was off to the side, Melody looked at Haile calmly as she stood up.
."So...this is what it comes to Melody, just like that, like this."Haile said with confused emotions, all for love, love is really to dangerous.
Melody looked away from him looking around the forest."..yes, you know..I used to be furious even sometimes mocking people who commits suicide, thinking to myself, why are they so stupid, why take your own life for nothing, it is not the way to go, you don't know what exists afterwards..."She said as she smiled bitterly dropping her head.
."But I realize something, from the outside looking inward everything looks stupid, the only way to understand, is if it is you, it feels like...all my troubles will just stop, as long as I just take that one last step off this island into those fires, like a sweet release of death."She said as she looked back an intoxication in her eyes.
Haile bit his lips till blood ran down."After all you survived, the struggles you overcame, the suffering, the lost, why must it be love that take you."He said with gritted teeth, it's hitting a bit to close to home for comfort, he dreads being a human from the start, nothing good ever comes from being human.
."Haha yeah, I laughed at that too, in my line of work it is usually the opposite, I spent my whole life fearing falling in love because I know the power that person would have over me, but it caught up with me now, guess I was right wasn't I."Melody said as she looked him in the eyes calmly.
Melody felt sweet being able to talk to him, she was finally happy after a long time, like she spent her entire existence all for this moment, it was pitifully sad but it was all she had.
Haile sighed as he rubbed his face."But I can't let you do it you know, not infront of me, in my presence you shall never die, I decree that as a God."He said, his eyes turning serious as they glowed beautiful and majestic.
Melody smiled."Your eyes are very beautiful, I thank you for giving me comfort in my last moments."She said with satisfaction, she without a slight hesitation turned and dived off the island, no fear was in her eyes.
*Whoosh*!!!
Hera behind shook her head, Haile put both hands on his face."I'm not equipped for this bulshit."He said he snapped his finger lightly.
*WommW*!
Raising back up and back on the island was a stunned Melody, she looked down and back at Haile."Why, this is my release, please let me down, I don't want to be here anymore, I've done enough."She said calmly as she tried to struggle free.
Hera seeing this looked at Haile."I think you broke her, her mind and emotions are very unstable, might I suggest again, we take her to my brother before she becomes worse."She said casually as she walked up to him and her.
."No, I can figure it out on my own, I'll just put her down for now."Haile said, his eyes glowed and Melody fell asleep, she drifted and fell into his arms.
Haile looked down at her face softly, he moved the hair out her face, Hera put her hands on her waist."Are you trying to make me jealous on purpose?."She asked looking at him being so lovey-dovey with the Unconscious Melody.(What she sees)
."Hera, I will get this out of the way in the early, let's go meet the other's."Haile said calmly as he looked back at her, it's good to let it be known now than to be known later.
Hera instantly had a bad feeling in her gut."W-what other's."She said as she caught bad feels.
~~~
*Underworld*(Grimory Mansion)
In Haile's room all the girls were still there sitting and waiting, the they were already nervous but this time even there great Mama Venelana was nervous as well, the only ones not a nervous reck were Koneko who was eating chocolate and Nalisa standing quietly to the side her maid Instincts still getting the best of her.
."Do you girls think something happened to him out there, it is morning and he isn't back yet."Venelana said as she paced the room biting on her finger nails, soon from now she will not have any.
Rias eyeballed her mother."Why do you look even more worried than us, is there perhaps something you are not telling me."She said looking at her mother suspiciously.
."What, no, of course not, what could I possibly have to tell me-tell you, I am simply worried about my son in law, can't I be worried, I'm not a cold monster, I like him for you."Venelana said nodding her head.
Rias blushed."Son in law, mom I think you're seeing to far ahead, *Ahem* um, we shouldn't worry to much, at the level of the Gods being able to run away is possible even if surrounded by thousands."She said folding her arms calmly.
."But again, the question, will he run away, this is Haile we are talking about, he is going with a purpose, he is too prideful to run away."Sona interjected, she pushed up her glasses casually.
Akeno nodded resting her head on her palm."Yup, the only reason he accepted help from Sirzechs is to make hs life miserable knowing that he had to spent resources, he clearly knew the leader of the Youkai, he could have got it for free, so bad."She said with a smile.
Tsubaki nodded."Tiamat is with him though so they will not be much problems, she is, Tiamat, Tiamat."She stop as she called Tiamat's name, she suddenly had a realization, she stood up.
Sona looked at her curiously."What is it Tsubaki, did you discover something, it would really be helpful at this time, I can't think of anything right now."She said slightly depressed, all her intelligence but she doesn't have the necessary knowledge and techniques to support it, when this is all over she will go and study her brain off.
."Yes, my mirror, I can reverse summon Dragon King Tiamat, from the magic she put into it to help Haile before, then she can lead us to him."Tsubaki said with a calm expression but a happiness swirled in her eye like soft serve ice cream.
.""You can do that!?"".
The others exclaimed, Tsubaki was just full of surprises wasn't she, Akeno chuckled."Maybe one of these days we should all sit down and have a girls talk and tell each other our abilities, it could be fun, we all know Haile will be training Gasper mostly anyway."She said casually.
The others nodded, Venelana looked at Tsubaki."Go do the thing, do the thing."She said hushed trying not to sound desperate or pushy.
No one really mind it, everyone else was eager as well, Tsubaki nod, she took a deep breath.""*Ahem*I am the reflection of the rain, i am the reflection of your pain, I am the reflection of the physical, I am the reflection of the spiritual, I am the reflection of your eyes, I am your reflection till you die, I am the reflection of the Gods, I am the reflection of my Reflection:Forbidden Move:Vault Of Power."She said her expression getting cold.
The experienced ones looked away, but Venelana and Nalisa who didn't know kept on looking, they didn't even realize they couldn't look away.
.""Mom!"".
.""Nalisa!"".
Venelana and Nalisa trembled as they lowered their heads, cold sweat coating their forehead, especially Nalisa, she has the power of a Satan now but her soul was still almost taken from her body forcefully, all of her master's women are really monsters, she can't possibly keep up.
."That was close, why didn't you girls warn me."Venelana said wiping her sweat, she put a hand on her heart feeling her wild heart beat.
Tsubaki closed her eyes as she felt around inside her vault, she smiled."Found it.""Summoning Spirits.""She said, she was using her mirrors ability to summon spirits but on Tiamat's energy which is what a spirit is made of, as long as Tiamat accepts the summon she can do it no matter Tiamat's power.
~~~
*White space*!!!
.""~Hello, is it me you're looking for, I can see it in your eyes~"".
In this blank space Tiamat was once again without hope, she layed on the ground on her back as she looked at nothing but white, she was going crazy.
."It's been about a million years now, I wonder if master has forgotten about me, he has so many ladies it would be understandable, he probably doesn't even have the time to feel pain, that would it."Tiamat said as she made a snow angel with nothing but imagination.
*Om*!
In this white space for the first time a sound was heard, Tiamat looked over and saw a large door like mirror looking at her, so she looked back at it.
."What are you looking at."Tiamat said to the mirror but it didn't respond, she frowned getting up, then her eyes widened.
She remembered this thing, it belong to that one girl."Yes, Master remembered me finally!."She exclaimed excitedly, she ran to it and dived into it.
.""MASTER!"".
*Om*
