Chapter 238: Thank you but we need you to die

My head throbbed a great deal as I woke up. I was lying on the ground.

Something soft was underneath my head. 

It took me a second but the feeling was so familiar, I instantly realized, I was under mom's laps. 

And the moment mom realized I was awake, she hugged me tight. Her heart was racing fast- really fast and she was warm. "I'm so sorry. I'll never let something like that happen to you, even if you beg me to standby. What the hell was I thinking!?" She was also going crazy, I guess it was asking too much to make her stay back, back then.

The feeling was so tender, I wanted to stay like this forever but- there was something veery important left that drew my attention. 

"Fill me in." I looked over at Enira.

"We're banishing her to the outer edge of the ninth dimension," Enira said as she walked over. "She's trying her best." She looked over at Marg.

Meanwhile, Marg was focusing way too much with her eyes closed and all.

Hyora was up in the air, immobile. "Mark my words Helio, your whole line would be cursed. I'm immortal, and I won't rest until I erase your line from existence."

Whoa, talk about holding a grudge!

"My line isn't as fragile as you think." I grabbed mom's hands. "We're the Romswells. We'll blast through all your schemes." I just realized, I might or might not have said some rather embarrassing stuff but –"Besides, even if my kids are weak, they'll always have their family."

Mom squeezed my hands. "Damn right, they will." Yeah, I had a bad feeling she'd be over-overprotective from now on. 

Oh boy.

Hyora grunted and her fangs kind of stuck out. She breathed hard and gasped every two seconds. She was mad- no, she was shivering with madness. But she looked really weak. I had a feeling I could kill her now, but if we killed her wouldn't father also die?

Speaking of father- the guy was free and he was standing next to us. But Hyora actually hadn't given him any order, even now. I didn't know how it worked, was he her slave or something or was he following her orders with his free will intact?

"You should kill her, right now." At the last moment, however, father said those words. "You should definitely kill her, for the sake of the future generation. Her powers will come in very handy if you can control her- but it's impossible. So, it's best she dies."

What the hell was up with his logic? Was he high or something?

"She says you'll die and-"

"She already took most of my life. I don't have long- maybe a day or two at best. And there's a high chance, she's just bluffing. I've never heard of a power that could kill others upon one's death- at least not from her."

So, he was serious about the death thing.

Mom squeezed my hands again but for a different reason. "Kill her. le-let's kill her and end all this."

"You sure about that?"

"I'm sure."

Her tears fell on my face. The fourth time I saw her cry-

She was sure and she was ready. 

But- "Enira, you know a lot about all this. Do you think he can be saved?"

"You're asking me?" She looked a bit out of it. "I can delay his passing but-" I could tell, it was taking her all to keep Hyora bound up there. How was she doing it though? I didn't see any barriers.

Oh, wait, Hyora's face was covered in a purple bruise- so that's why-

"Good enough. Let's kill her then." I dragged my body up. My whole body was too painful, I was really, spent. 

But I had this one last thing to do.

She sighed. "Let people finish, please? We have to first severe their connections, so he won't die in case Hyora dies. And yes, she does have that power."

"And how do we do that?"

She grinned. "This is where your late grandmother's powers come into play."

My left hand glowed in an azure glow and I could feel a different kind of power running through me- my link with Enira felt as strong as ever, maybe stronger. 

"And since you're her heir, you can channel that power. The power to severe through space and time." Enira's grin turned a bit creepy and she made Hyora slowly come down. "Finally, we can all have our revenge!"

I had a feeling she also hated Hyora. I guess the feeling was mutual. 

Hyora still couldn't move but her appearance was gradually getting madder and madder. "I'm immortal!" she screamed. "I'll be back."

"I believe you." I slowly ran- and slowly increased my speed, one step at a time. "For all the trouble you gave us, for all the pain you gave us, for all the suffering you caused us and for saving my life- thank you but we need you to die."

She gently smiled. What the hell? It was a real smile- not the fake creepy one. A real smile. "I'll be back." But her words were still creepy as hell.

I reached her and well, chopped her head off. She couldn't move, so it didn't take much effort on my part.

A bit anticlimactic but her head flew off and rolled on the ground, lifeless.

Her torso spewed blood and also fell on the ground- not recovering. 

I bathed in her blood and my skin burned.

Hyora Battlesuin was no more. 

I breathed a sigh in relief and well- time to pass out.

…

But no, I didn't and my body just kept on burning. "What the hell?"

"And now you'll probably turn into a vampire." Enira sighed.

"What, rrealy!?" seriously!?

She giggled hard. "Nah, I'm just messing with you."

"You damn snake drag-" My voice stopped and I threw up. 

My body ached and my head hurt like hell. 

The pain was unbearable. "Arghh!" I grabbed my head and screamed. 

"The seal is being undone. I'll try my best to stabilize it, so you just close your eyes and try to sleep." Enira grabbed me and spoke through some sort of a filter, cause I couldn't hear her properly over the damn pain. 

I did close my eyes but- I couldn't open them anymore.
