59 Chapter 57 - Things I Always Wanted To Do

The King lures Sal to attack himself, he is trying to let Sal use up all his magic so that he can gain back his sanity. He blocked and dodged all of Sal's attacks perfectly as if he could read all of his movements. However with injuries from fighting the dragons, and sharing his own magic with Dark Prince, his body is actually quite weak at that moment, so accidents happened.

Due to the low magic level remains, The King's body starts to get unstable and suddenly blanked out for about 3 seconds in the middle of the fight, and these three seconds give Sal an opening to land a direct hit to the King before shifting his target to the Yggdrasil. But instead of using his demon claws attack, he is doing a much more deadly magic that will instantly destroy its direct target. Knowing how important the Yggdrasil is, the King who is now badly injured dragged himself to the Yggdrasil and placed one of his strongest barriers to the tree with his remaining magic, while he himself is unshielded. He stared at Sal and prepare to accept that deadly attack from Sal...

After Sal launched that attack, Sal vaguely sees the image of the Yggdrasil. It is shield by a golden barrier which starts to fall apart, under the tree, is a man covered with blood, the upper left part of his body is partially gone, despite of all these, the man still remains his consciousness and continues to stares at Sal. Sal realized who is the man in front of him, he wants to stop and help him but his body doesn't allow him to. Sal slowly gets near to the King and is about to give him a final hit. In his head, Sal knows that he doesn't want to kill this man in front of him but his body continues to move on its own. "Please stop..." he told himself but... One step, two steps, three steps, he is getting nearer to the King, with a distorted smile on his face, he raised his arm and...

"Ah..." Suddenly he feels that familiar burning sensation on his back that drained off his magic at a really fast rate, before he totally loses his consciousness, he heard a slightly tired voice saying. "Sorry, I'm late..."...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sal? Sal! Don't space out when I'm talking." that stern voice from Dark Prince drag him back to the presents again. That scar on Dark Prince's right eye looks deeper than usual. "I'm really sorry." said Sal. "Thinking of that incident again?" Said Dark Prince who seems to be able to read through Sal's mind. Sal didn't answer his question and two of them just looking at each other without saying anything until Athena walks in...

Meanwhile, Sky's house, balcony...

"So, have any plans on what should we do?" Sky asked and Chris answers him with a shrug, then Chris looks at Sky's right palm which is covered in bandage drenched with blood. "This wound is not healed yet?" Chris ask. "Mhm... A weird substance in her claws somehow slowed down my self healing ability a bit." said Sky, then Chris sighed and open his bandage showing the wound on Sky's palm that doesn't seem to be healing at all. Then he leered at Sky coldly before putting his hand onto Sky's palm, the wound slowly healed. "I'm sorry about that, I promise this will be the last time she harms you." said Chris "Hmm? What are you planning to do?" "If she would even trying to harm you again in the future, I will finish her off with my own hands." "What?" "That is if only she is trying hurt you... *cough *..." "Chris are you alright? Let's get into the house, the cold wind out here is not good for your lung." "Shut up... *cough *..." Then they get into the room.

"Actually, I have noticed your condition in the interval dimension, which is why I decided to open an emergency portal." said Sky "Oh? I thought it's because of Ai. You look like you are really worried about her." Chris responded with a sarcastic tone. "No, it's n... Yes, I'm actually worried about her too, but you are the main concern." "Oh really?" Chris gives Sky a weird smug. And suddenly a ragdoll cat walks in and snuggling at Chris's feet. "Uh... Chris? Care to explain what is that?" "That's a cat." "I know that's a cat, but that's definitely not Byako right?" "Her name is Marumaru." said Chris while picked the cat and put her on his lap. While Sky looks at him slightly annoyed...
