Chapter 101 - The Start Of Something Worse

Tane stands up from the ground with the help of Vicar. Was he really okay with this? Tane tried to kill Eli just a few minutes ago. How could they all be so forgiving, I would not able to forgive someone if he has done something like Tane was. Even if I would forgive them, it would take a lot of time. 

Tane said that he was sorry and approach Vicar, he tried to shake Vicar's hand as a sign of an apology from him. Vicar just shakes his hand as he also said sorry for punching him as rage has taken over him back then. I had expected that this would not be over that soon. 

As Tane was shaking Vicar's hand, he used that opportunity to grab Vicar's hand. Tane pulled him forward as he punches Vicar in the stomach. It makes Vicar unbalanced as it was really a strong punch by Tane, Vicar was able to regain his balance but Eli was taken by Tane. 

He holds Eli like a hostage as he wraps his arms around her. Tane told us if we move, he would break Eli's neck. Vicar didn't do anything as he was afraid that Tane would hurt her. Tane was smiling towards Vicar as he said that Vicar was too naive. 

"Do you think I would stop trying to kill her? If she could not die before, I would make sure she dies this time." I could see in Tane's eyes as he really intends to tried to kill her again. 

"Tane! Stop this... Eli had done nothing to you. She doesn't deserve this." Vicar was right as she really doesn't deserve this. She had no relation to what had happened towards Tane's parents at all. 

"I know that! But she was the same kind as the one who killed my parents... You were too kind to let her live, you don't know what she capable to do." 

"What! Tell me what she could do in her current state!" Vicar was looking at the ground while he said that towards Tane.

"That's why I said you were naive, you didn't realize what sort of creatures she was."

"She was just an undead, an incomplete revival of herself." He still looking at the ground, I was curious about what he been looking at. I then know what was the thing he was looking at, it was the arrow that been scattered in the ground when Tane fall before. 

"Hmmph, Fools! She was a mere vessel to revive the demon lord again. Every undead might have the chance to revive back the demon lord." Tane said it.

When Tane said that Eli was the vessel to revive the demon lord, I somehow believe him. Not everybody would say something like this, Tane somehow knew this matter. I don't know how he able to know it, maybe it links to his parents dead. 

"You think I could be a fool! I know you just talking nonsense, trying to make me believe that killing her would be a good thing." Vicar didn't believe what Tane had said just now. He was able to reach the arrow as he currently stepping on it. He just needs to reach it with his hand, he hiding his hand behind his body, 

"Stop! Don't move an inch or I snap Eli's neck, I know what you are doing Vicar..." Tane said it loudly and Vicar stop his movement. 

They both look at each other intensely as Vicar was doing something behind his back. I don't know what was that he wanted to do. But in the meantime, I told him to listen to what Tane had to said about the undead. He might know something important about it. 

Vicar didn't listen to my suggestion as he removes me from his finger. Why do I have to be removed from his finger, what he wanted to do with me. He then told Tane that if he wanted to do kill Eli, just do it as he believes that Eli wouldn't die because of that. 

Why Vicar intimidate Tane, I thought he doesn't want to see Eli getting hurt. Because of that, Tane was about to break Eli's neck. Vicar smile as his plan was working, Tane was taken by his taunt. He then tossed straight to Tane heads. 

This wasn't the first time I'm being tossed, but I could feel that this throw was much more powerful than before. Tane didn't realize it as he was getting hit by me perfectly in the forehead. That hit made his unwrap his arm around Eli, as he used that hand check his forehead instead. 

As for me, I landed on the ground between Tane and Vicar. I really dislike the idea of being tossed, I somehow had the feeling that this would be turned out really bad. Tane did not realize that he had released Eli. He looks in front of him and saw was Vicar running towards him, he was about to punch Tane. 

Vicar suddenly stop as we all noticing something weird around Eli, she suddenly moves. I don't know whether Tane and Vicar could feel it or not, Eli seems to emit some sort of aura. An aura that I had felt before, it was the same as the Elder Banshee. 

I then saw white things coming out from the ground, it's appearing near Eli. It seems like a skeleton bone but I still wasn't sure if it was one. Tane didn't like this situation as he quickly tried to kill Eli. Vicar realizes it as he tried to protect Eli, but some skeletons crawl out from the ground. Stopping both of their movement completely.

The skeletons didn't attack Eli this time, it seems to protect her. Why how could this happen all of the sudden? What causes this, I began to think as I remember something when we were under the ground. Eli was acting weird when I was removed by Vicar at that time, that's must be it or it may not. 

"Eli! What you doing..." Tane said but Eli doesn't listen to him as usual. 

"It's useless Vicar! This what I meant, this what the purpose of that book..." The wind started to blow very hard as the sky was getting darker. The sound of the thunder could also be heard. 

"That book? What you talking about..." 

Tane didn't answer that question as he runs towards the town, he also shouted that Vicar should do the same thing. Vicar didn't know what currently happening but he knows that he shouldn't stay here any longer. As more and more skeletons keep crawling out from the ground. 

Vicar then quickly runs from this area, he seems to run towards the town as well. But I then realized something, did I get left behind? They didn't remember about me at all, at least Vicar should remember. He the one that tossed me earlier. 

Is this my fate or something, always getting abandoned by people. It will be better than if I was left in the peaceful street of the town than like this. This area was full of skeletons all of the sudden, to be honest, I was somewhat scared about it. 

I just hope that he will come back to get me soon. There nothing I could do now, I just have to wait for someone to find me. Even though I kinda scared about the skeletons, I tried to be brave and hoping that they wouldn't approach me at all. 

I notice that Eli doesn't move a spot at all as she keeps standing there, I do notice that a black aura started to emit from her. It does feels similar to the Elder Banshee aura. I realized that the skeletons keeps popping out, she must be the one that summon the skeletons here.

While I was just watching Eli standing there, someone appears out of nowhere. It was shocking that somehow I know about this particular person. It was the shady guy that approach the bronze knight before. He still wears the same black robes as before. 

That guy approach Eli and he said something, "Sadly, you will not be the vessel of the demon lord as there was someone that more suited to be his vessel." He touches Eli faces and said, "Why? Because you was incomplete... But still you could provide some dark energy to revive him." 

That black robes guy know something about the demon lord, it's was the same thing that Tane told us earlier. About Eli being the vessel to revive the demon lord, but when I heard he said that Eli could not be the vessel. I began to think would was the person that suited to be the demon lord vessel. 

The shady black robe guy take Eli hand as he was putting something on Eli finger. When I look closely, it was a dark color ring with a dark gem.
