บท 43: Control

"Sphere of justification"

A green liquid flowed out from Gotang's hands and shot forth towards Lobo. It formed into a green bubble that protected him from the attack of the demon. Gotang smiled, content that the vice leader, his friend, was protected.

He looked at the incoming black sludge towards his heart. He had no way to dodge this as he prepared for his death. The members of the Defending Tip was busy fighting off the zombies, unaware that their leader was in critical danger.

Gotang smiled. If this was his last breath, then he was glad his fellow members weren't there to see it with their own eyes. He knew they would never forgive themselves if they saw him die just a few feet away from them.

The black sludge hit his chest as it penetrated his armor, cutting his chest and flowing out blood. As soon as the black sludge hit his armor, it disintegrated. The violet liquid in his sword started to evaporate into the wind as Gotang felt his strength disappear away from him.

He tried to activate his armor, trying to gather the strength to stand against the demon. He can't die now. He was only a few meters away from the holy grail, the item which costed the lives of his members. He just had to endure this fight but he couldn't let out his liquid. No matter what he tried, the liquid couldn't come out. There was no liquid in his body. It was like it disappeared and he couldn't grasp onto anything.

He felt like he had lost an integral part of his body, not just a limb, not just any organ, but his source of power. The power that led him to be a pillar of strength within his community. Now it was gone like the wind and a void replaced it.

He looked up at the demon. In his forehead, veins pulsated with anger as for the first time Gotang was furious and lost his cool. He was able to remain calm throughout any of their problems throughout the journey because he was confident in himself; he was confident in his power.

"Ha.....ha...ha.....don't worry....you were...just...silenced....It....will....return.....to you.....in...one minute."

The demon looked at Gotang and smiled. This was one of its skills and it disabled Gotang's skills for a limited amount of time. The demon floated towards Gotang with its sword on its shoulders. It raised its sword and positioned to slice Gotang's head, finishing him off.

Before the sword went down and sliced Gotang's head off, Bang suddenly appeared at the front and prevented the demon to kill Gotang.

———————

Bang watched Gotang and the demon face off against each other. He saw Gotang sacrifice himself for his vice leader, a wrong decision in Bang's eyes. Shouldn't the most important person in the group be protected more than the vice leader?

He saw Gotang get injured in the chest with blood flowing down his clothes. The violet armor that protected him disappeared as it turned into vapor and spread out into the air. It looked like it was the end of the road for Gotang.

'I urge owner to interfere with the demon.'

The system instructed Bang before the demon raised its sword. The world was like in slow motion when he heard the system speak to him.

'What?!?! Why would I do that?'

He may have thought that the most important person should be kept alive at all costs but that didn't mean he would sacrifice his own life for him. He wasn't obligated to do it and should only be done by Gotang's fellow members. He saw no benefit in interfering with the demon, only his imminent death.

'Wake Ligi back to his senses.'

'What?!?! Do I have to die to get him back to his senses?'

'WARNING! If owner does not interfere with the demon, owner will lose 1000wp and Ligi will die.'

With that kind of warning, Bang had no choice but to obey the system's orders. His body reluctantly ran towards Gotang and spread out his hands.

The demon stopped its sword just before it reached Bang's head. It looked at him and tilted its head. He was thankful that the demon stopped before he got hit and killed him instantly. His heart was beating hard as sweat poured down his face. He couldn't look at the dark void eyes of the demon, fearing it would notice his fear.

The demon grabbed Bang's collar and lifted him to meet its eyes. Bang kept avoiding the demon's eyes but it kept trying to see into the window of Bang's soul. It looked into Bang and it widened its eyes, showing a look of surprise.

"Hoh....hoh.....hoh......you.....what's an...absolute.....doing.....here?"

A look of recognition was displayed onto the demon's face. It had a combination of curiosity, surprise, and a little bit of fear.

Bang saw the demon suddenly look up to the heavens and stop moving. His eyes looked unfocused, like he wasn't aware of the current surroundings and situation.

———————

In the demon's soul space, everything was darkness. There was nothing in here except the demon which looked bigger and more sinister than the appearance of the demon overtaking Ligi.

"Who are you?"

The demon spoke into the nothingness. There was no one beside him yet he spoke with a quivering voice. He took a step back into the endless void, afraid that whatever he was talking to was away from him.

"How did you invade my soul space?"

Then out from the darkness, a feminine figure came out with a white silk one-piece dress that showed off most of her cleavage. Her wavy black hair flowed down to her chest and her face exuded grace. Her eyes were sparkling in the darkness and showed off a mysterious intent. She had a deadpan expression, showing her soft and thin red lips. Her nose was perfectly symmetrical, the same with every characteristic in her face.

"You!!! How?!?!?! Your majest-"

The woman suddenly raised her silky white hands and pointed her fingers at the demon. It stopped the demon from continuing his inquiry and preventing him from moving, even its hearts.

"You will forget this ever happened. You do not know who I am. You will continue to invade Ligi."

The demon couldn't move and his face was frozen showing an astonished expression. If the demon could move, he would immediately kowtow and praise the woman.

After her command, the woman returned back into the darkness and left the demon to himself.

————————

After a second of pause, Bang saw the demon shake its head and looked around. It looked unsure of what happened as if it lost a portion of his time. It tried to remember what happened yet there was nothing it could do. There was just an empty hole in its memories.

It felt frustrated because of that. A mighty being like him, a conqueror of worlds, a god among gods, was actually having trouble remembering something. It could do nothing but vent its anger towards Bang.

It lifted Bang up in the air and threw him into the ground, injuring him and dislocating some bones. It didn't feel satisfied as it continued to lift Bang up and throw him into the ground multiple time as Bang threw up blood in his mouth. He was currently feeling an insurmountable amount of pain as he regretted following his system.

"Hey Ligi, I know you're in there."

The demon didn't respond. It sneered at the pathetic attempt at getting Ligi to wake up from his dream. It knew there was no way that Ligi would voluntarily wake up from his dream, his perfect life with the perfect family. That dream was specifically created from Ligi's idealized version of his life, a life without sadness.

Bang's blood was flowing down his face as he looked the demon straight in the eyes. His sight bypassed the dark eyes of the demon and looked straight at Ligi.

"That's not real wake up! Its just an illusion."

The demon took its hands and wrapped them around Bang's neck suffocating him as more and more pressure was exerted.

"You shouldn't be...content with that!"

The demon looked at Bang with a deadpan expression. It did not care about what he was saying as the demon's grip got tighter, making him lose oxygen.

"Don't be misled.....by your...dreams.....that...isn't....your....life,....but merely...a guide.....for you....to pursue."

Bang's neck was deep red, indicating how much force the demon was exerting on Bang. It did not want to kill Bang, but merely suffocate him and torture him. If it wanted to kill Bang, it could snap his fingers and Bang would be dead instantly.

"Don't.....lose.....to...your...own...demons...Don't be afraid....of...your demons....Don't ignore.....your...demons......It's.....all....a..part.....of...you...Be....proud...of...yourself for....surviving....this...long....."

บท 44: Struggle

The demon's grip got tighter, preventing him from speaking any longer. Bang flailed around the air and struggled to be free from the restrictions. His hands tried to pry open the demon's clutch but it was too strong. His nails clawed at the demon's skin but it had no effect.

He was starting to see spots in his vision, a symptom of losing oxygen to the brain. His brain went blank as he stopped struggling and tried to endure as long as he can but he would pass out at any second. His sight became dark as he was on the brink of unconsciousness.

The demon flinched its head, trying to suppress something but it only made the flinching worse. The demon frantically shook its head and opened its jaws wide. Bang gasped wildly as he finally got a breath of fresh air when the demon got distracted with its own problems.

"Ahh....no..."

Bang could hear two voices coming out from the demon. One was a low rumbling sound and the other was a familiar voice, Ligi's voice. The demon's black eyes started to become white as Ligi's voice began to overpower the demon's voice.

"Ahhh.....get....out...of my....head!!!!"

The demon released its grip on Bang's neck and let him fall to the ground. He coughed and held his reddish neck, his throat burned, and his breathing became heavier. He backed off the demon who was thrashing around the air as it shook and held its head from the pain it was feeling.

Ligi's head started to emerge from the demon's chest with his eyes closed. The demon's body convulsed as it took its hands and tried to push Ligi's head back into its chest. The demon and Ligi were fighting for control over who gets to control the body.

————————

"Hey Ligi, are you okay?"

The woman shook Ligi out of his stupor. She smiled at him, with her eyes squinting in delight. The woman looked warm. She was wearing yellow clothes and an orange hairpin that tied a part of her hair that fell to her shoulders. Her cheeks had a reddish tint yet her hands were cold to the touch. It was as dead as the lonely void, away from any warmth and closeness.

Ligi ignored the contrast as he focused on the task at hand. He dedicated himself to washing the dishes the best that he can even if it was trivial.

"You're doing great kiddo."

The man spoke as he sat on a chair reading a newspaper. He was smoking a pipe as he relaxed after a hard day's work. Ligi did not notice the lack of pictures in the newspaper and that there was only one sentence in the entire newspaper that was repeated over and over. 'Wake up!' was plastered all over the newspaper yet the man was reading it diligently. This was the idyllic family life, according to Ligi, even though the man's face had changed.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

A hard knocking sound came from the outside yet Ligi heard it like it was right next to his ears. It felt like the sound was being directly transmitted to his brain yet he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The door suddenly burst open revealing a demonic being full of horns, claws, blood, and black wings. It exuded black air and sludge was flowing out from its skin. Its muscular body couldn't fit inside the door so the demon destroyed the doorway. The person who came into the door was Bang yet Ligi saw him as a demon.

The demon looked directly at Ligi and it made him flinch. He walked backward, afraid of the monstrosity that was walking towards him. His vision became dark and all he could see was the monster that was right in front of him.

"Don't XXX misled.....by XXXX...dreams.....that...XXXX....your....life,...XXX merely...XXX guide.....for XXX....XXX pursue."

The demon spoke to him with broken sentences. There seemed to be noise that interfered with whatever it wanted to say which left Ligi confused about its intent. The mysterious purpose of the devil only made it creepier in Ligi's eyes.

The man sitting on a chair and reading the newspaper suddenly came behind the demon and smacked it with the newspaper. The man had no fear, no emotion, and no self-preservation as he looked at the demon with a deadpan expression. His movements looked like it was calculated, mechanical, and an imitation.

The demon looked at the man and pierced his heart with its arms full of claws. There was no blood, no fuss, and no resistance as the demon killed the man instantly. The corpse of the man was smiling as if it wasn't just killed in broad daylight, which made it look even creepier as the dead body of the man looked directly at Ligi.

"AHH.....NO!!!!"

Ligi screamed to his lung's capacity yet there was no sound coming out of his mouth. He backed away even further as he recognized the bizarre behavior of everybody present. He looked at the dead body of the man he considered his father yet the face he saw was unrecognizable. There was no physical appearance to this man, just a blank face empty of any emotion and empty of any memories.

The woman he considered his mother took his hands with so much force that he winced in pain. He looked at his mother and saw no warmth, no kindness, no tenderness, and no feelings to the empty expression. The woman spoke to him in a mechanical voice.

"Go to your room and lock the door. Do not, under any circumstances, get out of your room. Do you understand me?"

The woman's grip on his hands got even tighter as he tried to pry himself free from the clutches of this unknown woman. After exerting effort into freeing himself, he stumbled backward and fell to his rear. The woman walked forward to him, casting a shadow on her face.

He looked at the monster and the woman coming towards him. Strangely, he felt that the monster was more comforting, more human than the woman who showed no emotions. She was like a facade of a human being, devoid of any suffering, and any real emotions.

"Ligi....wake XX.....Get out...XX.....XXXX.....dream!"

The monster spoke to him with cryptic messages yet he could strangely understand it. It was like they had a connection but he was wary of this memory. How could he feel more connected to a monster than the one he considered his mother? He couldn't decide so he had to voice out his frustrations.

"AHHH.....GET....OUT...OF MY....HEAD!!!!"

He closed his eyes and held his head as it started to ache. He was feeling nauseous, wanting to vomit out everything inside. He opened his eyes and saw the darkness surrounding him. It was just an empty void, barren of any color, and destitute of any emotion.

"HA.....HA...HA...You were able.....to get out."

A voice from deep inside his heart spoke to him. This deep growling voice was familiar to him and all of a sudden, it clicked. His memories came back to him like a tsunami, overwhelming his mind making him stumble down to his rear.

His childhood and his suffering returned to him, in deep contrast to the fake memories that were implanted in his mind. After that, he remembered meeting Bang and how his life had changed because of that. He had power because of him. He was still deeply indebted to Bang because Bang allowed him to experience the world, meet new people, and even meet his very own rival.

The demon walked out from the shadows and revealed itself to him. Its figure was large, overbearing, and domineering which intimidated Ligi. Its reddish-black skin glowed in the dark surroundings yet the demon's heart was dim. The horns protruding on its head was fully grown and spiraled around itself. The mean face of the demon looked directly at Ligi.

"What do you want?"

"Ha...ha...ha....you know...what I...want.....I...want to...control you."

"You will never control me."

"Ha...ha...ha...but I...already...am."

The dark void suddenly changed into the scenery in the Dreaded Valley. Their surroundings showed the moment Ligi lost control and transformed into the demon and terrorized the whole valley. Ligi saw himself almost kill Gotang by disabling his skills and finishing him off using the scythe. Even Bang, the man he swore to protect, his benefactor, was almost killed by him. He winced at the sight of him choking the life out of Bang.

"That's....not.....all"

The scenery changed and displayed what the demon was seeing right now, at that moment. The demon flew across the air towards Gotang, gripped his throat, and pointed the scythe directly at his chest.

Gotang was unable to do anything with his skills still silenced. The demon was overpowering him in every aspect as he felt himself on the brink of death. The scythe was digging deeper into his body, only a millimeter away from his heart.

"NO!!!!!"

Ligi didn't want to kill Gotang. He didn't want to kill anyone but his body was being controlled by a demon. He was just a passenger watching the events unfold, unable to do anything.
