(or is it a lie?)
after the boy recovers, from the man's injuries and suddenly down a weird red liquid down his throat, the boy heard the purple-clad man words and looks at the sword hesitatingly as he lifts himself from the ground, after he lifts himself up the boy looks at the sword in the ground hesitatingly, scared, and anxiously. as he about to make his resolve, he heard the voice of the purple-clad man.
"Why are you hesitating, scared?, Anxious?" as the man spoke the space around him tremble as he releases his killing intent towards the boy, as the black-haired boy take the full force of the intent he falls towards the ground once again because of the sudden force that falls under his body as if a mountain has fallen on top of him. the purple-clad man spoke as his voice turned cold as the space around the area tremble more as his very existence distorted space around him.
"What happens to your resolved Ritsuka Fujimaru?" spoke the man towards the boy as his killing intent spike even more as the earth trembles as if an earthquake is happening and space around the area near the man more suffocating to breathe in. the didn't only direct towards the boy anymore as the whole city was engulfed of the suffocating pressure from his killing intent. the man spoke
"as I said before pick, grab it or don't." said the man as he heard the man the boy tries to speak but was cut off by the man's words.
"I don't need your empathetic and sympathetic words, and change my decision, I don't need your words like the saying goes action speaks more than words" spoke the man towards the boy. as the boy's face seems to think about somethings. the man killing intent raises again. the space around them distorted even further.
the boy was breathing and sweating heavily on the ground as the purple-clad mans killing intent suffocating him, not only him the white-haired magus was on the ground breathing and sweating heavily on the ground same as the boy, not even Caster and the lilac-haired shield girl a servant and demi servant wasn't spared as the both of them now is kneeling on the ground from the killing intent that is emanating from the purple-clad man. only the confused doctor on the hologram that got disconnected by the sudden pressure, distortion of space around the area, and the unstable connection.
not just the area around the group was felling the killing intent of the man, as it happening all everywhere in the ruined city as buildings trembled as if an earthquake is happening as the rest of the servants shocked by the sudden pressure they were feeling, one of them was a tan skin white-haired man was kneeling and sweating heavily from the sudden pressure seems like a giant boulder was on his back.
some was not that affected by the pressure of the man-killing intent is a blonde-haired woman wearing black and red armored as she wields a broadsword that is colored black and red same as her armored, she is looking at the direction of the sudden pressure that makes the earthquake from his intent alone. but back to the boy and the man
the purple-clad man spoke his voice like the devils whisper as he spoke towards the boy "Why are you so persistent?, because of her?" the look at at the lilac haired girl that is kneeling and breathing and sweating heavily behind the boy. "well that doesn't matter, for now, You know some says death is like an ending towards a new beginning why not choose death it will be quick." the boy didn't hear the man say as he now already finds his resolved and now he has a goal confront of him, little by little he is standing up from the ground to grab the hilt of the silver katana that is embedded in the floor
"tks.., like a chariot your persistence and determination create your path towards success." the man clicked his tongue, as he spoke under his breath as he watched the boy get up from the ground when the boy is kneeling he extended his arm. the man turns down his killing intent as the space around him and earth isn't trembling as violent as before as it dies down as the boy near the sword hilt.
the black-haired boy grab the hilt of the katana with his left hand when he grabs the hilt suddenly blue flames engulfed his left hand to his forearm, the boy panic at the sudden flame touching his arm he tries to let's go off the hilt but he can't, he stopped panicking after a while he didn't feel the burning seconds past bye and the flame died down. when the boy grabs the sword hilt the area turns tranquil as it turns normal as before as nothing happens in the first place.
the boy look where the blue flame used to be there was now a tattoo off a wave and sword on his left hand after the appearance of the tattoo on the left hand he felt something burning inside off him feels like something is engraving its self in his soul, he screams after few minutes the pain was more bearable and he then gritted his teeth because of the pain that he is still feeling.
"AHHHHHHH?!?!"
as the scream of the boy revert around the area, as the area only can hear his screams of pain, after a few more minutes pass as the black-haired boy breathing heavily he closes his eyes cause of the pain from the pain of the sword engraving itself to his very soul before his vision turn dark, he heard a male distant voice spoke to him.
"impressive, well let's see what's the future brings us," said the man's voice after the man spoke he sees a glimpse of lilac-haired in front of him and hears the sound of a panicked voice calling to him, as he falls down towards the ground something catches him before he hit the concrete floor.
"senpai!?, senpai!?, are you all right?"
the lilac haired girl still falls to her knees from the sudden pressure that is emanating from the man as she is known on the ground as she only barely can cope with the man's pressure he emanates from him, she looks in the man's direction she could see the space around him distorted as his very being seem the space to fear him.
she knelt frozen and sweating heavily as her instinct tells her to run but she can't, she only wants to protect the boy as her servant, as she can only watch and can't do anything as the black-haired boy grab the hilt of the sword as blue flame engulfs his left arm as she saw the boy panicked from the flame buts she clams down when the boy relax and look at the flame on his hand. after the boys grab the sword she could feel the suffocating aura is gone like a passing wind, as the suffocating aura is gone she can breathe normally now.
she can still only watch as she still stands frozen as her instincts tell her to run, she in her spot only can look at the boy pain expression as she gritted her teeth and watch.
but after the flame died out the boy suddenly scream on top of his lungs because of the sudden pain that he felt from his soul as it feels like he is in front of the sun burning alive every second he feels like a year has passed from the pain he feels but after the boy stop screaming the instinct or gut feeling that she felt was gone.
as she runs towards the now unconscious black-haired boy as he now being held by the lilac-haired girl as she brig him to her embrace before he fell on the ground. as she holds him she is panicking is about the boy's health as checks everything that may be wrong with him she was cut off from her thoughts as she heard the man's voice that did this towards the boy.
"He should be alright now, but if you are still worried about him, here catch" he spoke with carefree manner, when he spoke like the event before didn't happen, he trow a transparent bottle that has three golden lines at the bottom and was filled with red liquid that he used before to heal the black-haired boy's injuries. the lilac haired girl catches the bottle and looks at it curiously and hesitatingly
The purple-clad man Walks toward the area where his campsite was before suddenly a white cat-like squirrel creature jump on his shoulders and hits his head with his tiny paws and says.
"Fou.. fou"
"Ohh it's you cath palug, and hello to you too," spoke the purple-clad man towards cath palug. as he
"Fou.Fou...Fou?" said cath palug.
"Why did I do that, he is a naive and inexperience child he needs to open his eyes, and he is very weak right now, if he got too reliant on those 'servants' that will be his downfall, and that's why I did this" answered the man towards cath palug.
"Fou..fou"
"Maybe I should have not gone too far but this is a wake-up call even if he not gone far on his journey," said the man with a carefree voice.
"Fou..fou," said cath palug as he shakes his head
"Don't Fou me, you now the cruelty of humanity and the god's cath palug" said the man gone with the carefree voice as his voice turned cold as he spoke with venom about the gods. the man shakes his head and lets a deep sigh.
