Chương 109: Chapter-108 The Nuclear Codes pt-9
(A/N:- "—" means big emphasis!)
***
(Erik's POV)
I looked towards the helpless man; bleeding on the ground.
Looking at his pitiful state, I thought to myself.
Overhaul, you failed.
And it wasn't even me who had to dirty his hands.
I wonder.
Was this worth it?
No!
Rather "is" it ever worth it?
You kill; commit a crime against people and they do the same to you.
An unending cycle of vengeance which just can't be stopped no matter how much we try to change people.
Humans just refuse to change their ways, their thinking, their behavior!
We keep on blaming this and that; in a never-ending cycle of blaming others, we drown yourselves!
But what they refuse to understand is that there are also people who blame "them"!
And people who blame those 'who blame others'!
It just keeps on going on and on...
Until everyone has 'someone' to blame.
And for what?
You ultimately gain nothing from all this blame!
It just pushes those people who are close to you!
It just burdens one with guilt!
With pain!
And suffering!
We fight with a motive!
With a vision!
All our actions are controlled by a motive!
People love with the "motive" to find their significant half!
People hate with the "motive" of harm to befall the person!
Everything happens for a reason!
A motive!
Your motive wasn't strong enough!
You! Weren't capable enough!
And now you lay down on the ground.
Bleeding from your 7-orifices!
Waiting for death to lovingly envelop your soul and free you from this world of hell!
Overhaul trembled as he spoke in a venom lashed tone!
"[Sin of the Dragon]!"
Sigh...
Even in your last moments; you can't let go of this blame!
This hate!
Humans.....bare the eternal curse of blame!
I will free this world from this curse!
From this hate!
From this blame!
[Eye of the Moon] "is" humanity's salvation!

(Third POV)
Tatsuya and Co. cautiously observed the newcomer; hands-on their C.A.Ds just in case they needed to confront [Sin of the Dragon].
"What is he doing here!?"
Yanagi was obviously confused and stressed by the sudden emergence of the legendary rogue contract assassin.
He had no interest in fighting a Z-rank threat without an elaborate plan and sufficient manpower.
No to mention they were surrounded by an army of undead zombies!
"Is he who I think he is?"
It was Naotsugu who questioned with the intent of quenching his suspicion.
He observed the famous assassin with narrowed eyes; tightly gripping the invisible sword within his hands.
'This is turning out to be a bad time!'
He was considering retreating with his younger sister; after all, fighting someone of 'his' level with surely result in causalities.
Naotsugu had no interest in putting his sister's life in danger.
Unfortunately or fortunately, his sister had other plans.
"Is he trying to save Overhaul!?"
Chiba Erika thundered with rage as she glared daggers at the newcomer who has just emerged out of nowhere.
She was optimistic about the situation; not that anyone could blame her!
After all, [Sin of the Dragon] did stop Tatsuya from killing Overhaul.
That man had nearly killed her brother!
And even though she knew of the danger; she was dead set on taking vengeance for her brother.
And she wouldn't stop no matter who comes in her way!
"Look!"
---
Steps!
The grass crunched under Erik's feet!
[Sin of the Dragon] ignored everyone and moved towards Overhaul.
Obviously, he seemed to have some unfinished business with the dying man.
He slowly bent forward and grabbed Overhaul's face with his right hand; easily lifting him above the ground!
"Grghhh!"
Overhaul struggled to speak as he weakly punched the boogeyman; wanting to free himself from the devil's grasp!
Unfortunately, his fate had already been decided!
"L-Let g-go!"
"[Hollow's Touch]"
"Arghh!"
Overhaul screamed!
Dark green veins emerged all over Overhaul's face!
The pulsing veins slowly started to spread everywhere; from the face, slowly crawling down to his heart!
Within seconds he was totally covered in dark green pulsating veins!
"Grhh!...I-I.."
He couldn't breathe!
He couldn't feel!
He couldn't move!
He couldn't resist!
He couldn't do anything!
Drool in conjunction with blood started coming out of his mouth.
And gradually the flames of life within his heart extinguished!
Today, Overhaul died!
[The Puppet Master] was no more!
---
(Tatsuya's POV)
He killed him!?
But why?
Why did he stop me from killing Overhaul?
Since he was to kill him anyway, why stop me?
What is the reason behind his action?
I know that he seems to have a personal grudge against [No head Dragon] but is that really the reason?
Overhaul was someone who knew extremely classified things.
So can it be that [Sin of the Dragon] was hired to silence Overhaul so the Japanese government couldn't gain anything from him!?
Judging from the history between [No Head Dragon] and [Sin of the Dragon], this theory isn't realistic yet not impossible.
So now that Overhaul is dead and all his knowledge has departed to the afterlife along with him.
What next?
Do we confront this hired magician?
I think that maybe we would have been able to restrain this guy but not when we are surrounded by near 100-undead magicians; I doubt it very strongly!

(Third POV)
[Sin of the Dragon] looked towards the huge army of dead magicians and the psion around him solidified!
"What out! He is about to do something!"
Yanagi immediately sensed the movement of psion being released by Erik's body; and warned the others to stay focussed.
This could very well be the start of another epic battle moment but it seems that the author has some other plans!
"[Terpsichora]"
The psion surrounding [Sin of the Dragon] burst into a blackish-purple mix as tons of psion was being released by the hired magician.
The blackish aura was so big that it covered the whole park within seconds of release!
The cloak of psion also covered the dead magicians and started turning into a hideous construct that only Erik could see!
A blind marionettist!
Multiple strings emerged on the bodies of the undead magicians!
And just like that, Erik had been able to pierce the undead's mind for a very short time but in that short time; he managed to give them a single command.
And that single command was!
"Kill those like you!"
