Chapter 10: Never Give Up!

Chapter 10: Never Give Up!

"Ah...."

Ary was left solemn as he saw their miserable deaths.

Some pearls of tears appeared in his eyes not only because of their death but after realizing what would happen to their mother, who was humbly waiting for their children to return. noVE(lB-1n

Ary didn't have a family, but for some reason, he felt an uneasy and tight sensation in his chest.

He imagined how their mother would feel if she realized her children would never return to her.

'Ary, you're our last hope. Maybe we failed to return to our home. But our souls are still suffering from the pain that Wolfra gave to us. Please, Ary. Protect the world from what we failed to do. Be a successful Warrior, Ary.'

Both Jack and Jinne requested him.

'We have faith in you, Ary.'

And as for the moment, every late Warrior called out while gazing straight at Ary.

'You can do it, Ary.'

They motivated him.

"Grrr..."

Ary didn't reply but gritted his teeth.

"Just accept your death, Ary. You're no match for me."

Lord Wolfra snickered, since he knew that Ary would die sooner or later by his hand.

Ary didn't say anything but tightened the grip of his blade, and with a furious look on his face, he flashed at Wolfra while using his swift speed.

"Tsk! You stubborn human!!"

Wolfra clicked his tongue after discerning Ary's stubborn determination to kill Wolfra.

He twisted his left body a little backward and heaved his left fist at Ary.

"Haaaaaaa!!!"

Ary roared in outrage and in the moment he reached around Wolfra's fist, he swung his blade, screaming,

"DARK SCAR OF DEATH!!!!"

Slash!

"Wha—?!"

Even Wolfra was left awestricken as his left hand got chopped off and to protect himself, he successfully managed to launch a kick at Ary's belly. Ary fell backward, but this time, Ary managed to hold himself together instead of falling.

"That's absurd! How could a weakling like you be able to hurt me?!"

Out of anger and pain, Wolfra bellowed.

"Yes, I'm just a mere human. So what?"

Ary called out in a solemn voice while standing straight.

"...?!"

As Wolfra heeded these words, a sweat of fear ran down his spine as he stepped back a little in dismay, mumbling,

"I-It can't be...H-He's just a mere human..."

"Ding!"

At the same time, Almita made a dinging noise, reporting,

<A new skill has been unlocked.>

<New Skill:- Life Force Assimilation.>

Suddenly, some silver light started surrounding Ary as he paced forward, saying,

"I'm weak, but that doesn't mean I can't be able to do anything."

"N-No...those words..."

While Wolfra, on the contrary, was sweating in fear, those words rang an alarming bell in his head.

"LifeForce Assimilation!"

Ary raved, and his black blade surrounded the silver light.

Suddenly, a silhouette of a man wielding a red blade was seen behind Ary, saying together with Ary,

"But I don't hesitate to go to any extent to demolish the Evil...Because..."

'N-No...I won't die just yet!'

Wolfra screamed inwardly, and while overcoming his fear, he flashed at Ary, howling,

"I can do whatever I want!! I'm inevitable!!"

Ary didn't reply but lowered his gaze.

"Hiyaaaaaa!!!"

Wolfra raved as he appeared just in front of Ary, and in a split second, both crossed paths.

Slash!!!

"I-Im...possible..."

Wolfra called out with a flabbergasted look as he felt a sharp pain around his neck.

"And I'm..."

Ary called out as the air started breezing rapidly. He glared around at Wolfra with his sharp purple gaze, adding,

"...Ary Inochi."

Thud!

In the next moment, Wolfra's head fell to the ground while his body fell beside his head.

"How...?"

He called out as his voice turned fragile.

"You've got what you deserve."

In a cold voice, Ary commented.

"You..."

Even though Lord Wolfra's head was decapitated, he was able to call out.

His eyes got dilated as a glimpse was seen in front of his eyes.

***

The glimpse in which he was falling on the ground while shivering in fear, while in front of him stood a man with fair skin and dark black hair. His eyes were not clearly visible. From his appearance, he seemed to have a muscular body. He looked so much like an adult version of Ary. He was holding a red fierce blade in his right arm.

"If you think...that you can take the lives of people you want...then, take a look at yourself...you'll get what you deserve to get. Do you think that I'm weak? Fine, I may be weak. But I don't hesitate to go to any extent to demolish the Evil."

With a cold voice, that man commented as he snapped his fingers, adding,

"Without your power, you're just as equal to nothing."

Then, he turned around and started walking away, silently.

Lord Wolfra realised that his powers had been sealed, but those words were like an insult to him. He even felt insulted after getting beaten up by a mere human.

He gritted his teeth and jumped toward that man, yelling,

"I'm still so strong without my actual power, you damn human!!!"

The man halted, and in an instant, he turned around and launched a cut attack at Lord Wolfra, and with a swift speed, it cut his right eye.

"AAAAARRGHH!!"

Lord Wolfra yelled in agony and fell to the ground, yelling,

"My eye! My eye!"

"Hmph."

That man responded as he turned around and started walking away, and soon enough, he disappeared into the haze.

***

'I see...'

Wolfra said inwardly, as he realised something.

"It seems like...he's really back, huh?"

Wolfra mumbled, his body and head started vanishing, and he gazed at Ary, asking,

"Ary Inochi...you...are....really him...aren't you?"

Soon enough, his body completely vanished, leaving a purple-colored crystal behind.

"Him?"

Ary called out as he turned around and noticed the crystal.

He paced forward and picked up the crystal and put it in the right pocket of his jeans.

'Thank you, Ary.'

A voice was heard from behind.

Ary shifted his gaze and saw that the corpses of the late Warriors were starting to vanish too, while giving off a white light as if they were ascending to heaven.

'Be a great Warrior, Ary'

Jack showed a gentle smile to Ary.

'The realm's protection is up to you, Ary'

Jinne mentioned as she showed a delightful smile to Ary.

'Thanks for freeing us, Ary.'

All of them gushed with delightful smiles on their faces, and soon enough, they all vanished.

Ary smiled and looked toward the sky, mumbling,

"I hope...you all rest in peace..."

"Ding!"

<Host, levelled up from Rank A to Rank S>

<Two new skills were unlocked as well.>

<Unlocked Skills:- Assassin's Walk and Water Blade.>

Almita reported and Ary smiled after hearing this.

After mourning their deaths, Ary took out the book of Almita and opened it, while taking a deep breath, and commanded,

"Well then, take me back to the Heavenly Realm of Endless Potentials, Almita!"

Swish!!

And with a swish sound, he teleported away, and as he went away, the Scarlet Realm vanished, since Lord Wolfra was already dead.
