Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
---------------
"You... you... you... betrayed me..." She struggled to voice out as she held her belly region. Blood was still flowing from her figure and dropping onto the icy ground.
Endric's head hung low as he stared forward with an expression of shame.
"It was either you or him..." Endric stated.
"You... You... what do you stand to gain from this...?" She voiced out while slowly taking steps forward.
"The survival of someone important... to make sure he doesn't suffer again, this was the sacrifice," Endric voiced with a low tone.
Step! Step! Step!
The Tarmac lips quivered as she continously and slowly stepped forward till she arrived before Endric.
"Did these last two years mean nothing to you?" Her figure towered oved Endric as she voiced while blood seeped out of her mouth.
"Were you only leading me on like a lamb ready to be slaughtered at the appropriate time...?" She questioned once more.
"...Yes," Endric's face turned dark as he replied.
The Tarmac's face froze up for a bit before a smile appeared on her face.
"That person must be really important to you then..." She suddenly hugged Endric after voicing out.
"I can't bring myself to hate you... live long... Endric..." Her body slumped after saying this and she fell to the ground.
"You finally got my name right... Elle," Tears began streaming down Endric's face as he stared at her giant lifeless body on the icy ground.
Trrihhh~ Thhrriiihh~ Thhrriihh~
Her corpse began to turn into light particles in the next instant which flew towards Endric.
It formed a golden bracelet which strapped around Endric's left wrist. Endric stared at it with a myriad of emotions as he fell to his knees once more.
The entire city had turned into a ghost town at this point. There was not a single soul alive except for Endric.
A green glow appeared on Endric's forehead in the next instant as a voice was heard next.
"All three million, four hundred and thirty six souls within the city have been snuffed out... you did it," Husarius voiced with a heavy tone.
"Yeah... I did it..." Endric muttered with a flat tone.
"I understand how you feel but there was no other way..." Husarius said with a comforting tone.
"Do you? Do you really understand how i feel? You... a talking object..." Endric stated.
Gwwhiii~
The greenish crystal flew out of Endric's forehead and floated in front of him
"I may not be human anymore but I assure you I still retain human emotions and empathy," Husarius replied with a calm tone.
"So you've killed three million people before too?" Endric questioned.
"No I haven't..."
"Then you have no idea how I feel. Don't pretend like you do," Endric stood to his feet and rubbed the bracelet on his wrist for a bit.
"Erm... *sigh*" Husarius heavy a light sigh.
"It may have been two years in this world but in ours, only around four months have gone by," Husarius disclosed.
"It should almost be time for IYSOP right now," Endric realised.
"It is time to head back," Husarius announced.
"Hmm, let's go back," Endric responded.
Zzhiiiisshhhhzz~
A portal began opening in front of them as Endric recalled his time spent here with a slightly regretful look.
'I won't forget you... Elle...'He said Internally before walking into the portal.
------
"I forgot about my physical appearance," Endric voiced as he stood in front of a mirror.
He had developed a light moustache and strands of hair could be seen around his chin region.
He had reached a height of six feet as well and his upper body developed a bit of muscles.
"In this world you are a thirteen year old but in reality, you are already fifteen so this is to be expected," Endric's forehead glowed repeatedly as Husarius spoke.
"They will get suspicious... is there something we can do about this?" Endric questioned.
Ting~
Husarius flew out of Endric's forehead in the next instant.
Zzhhiiioooinnn~
The green crystal emitted a bright light and in the next instant, Endric turned a bit shorter. His hair looked less messy and all of his facial hair had disappeared completely.
"This is good," Endric nodded.
"It is just an illusion... Everyone that stares at you will never be able to tell how you look originally," Husarius stated.
"I hope so," Endric responded before he moved towards the shower.
-
kom! Kom! Kom!
"Yo Endric, you in there?"
Minutes later knocking could be heard from the door repeatedly.
"I'm coming," Endric answered before heading towards the door.
Upon opening it, a bunch of people could be seen.
"You've been gone the entire day man, you good?" E.E questioned.
"Yeah yeah i just needed to do some meditation," Endric replied.
"You sure you don't have a chick in there?" E.E said while stretching his neck in a bid to look indoors.
"Hubby, are you cheating on me?" Sheila voiced from the side.
"Huh no... who are..." Endric was about to ask who she was when memories from the clone drifted into his mind.
'Oh... she's a... mm... never thought I'd meet one in my lifetime...' Endric thought.
"Hubby, let's make babies through the night," Sheila voiced out while trying to force her way into his room.
Glare!
She sensed glares pricking into her bodies from all corners.
-"You pedo!"
-"Have you no shame woman!?"
"Come on guys, age is just a number," She screehed with an innocent look.
"Anyways, Endric, we just came to remind you that we're heading to the Oasis tomorrow," Falco said from the side.
"Oh? The bloodline Oasis?" Endric inquired.
"Yes. We were approved to occupy the place for a week," Falco added.
"Alright then," Endric nodded.
-
Minutes later, Endric was seated on his bed with a look of contemplation.
"I didn't channel my bloodline much in the last two years since I barely had the time but I still reached the peak Kilo rank... visiting the Oasis would mean I would reach the Delta rank," Endric thought loud.
"You would surpass everyone then... your brother included... intact you already do," Husarius analysed.
"It doesn't really matter since his strength can't be gauged by bloodline ranking measures but at least, this would make me more efficient. I can protect and assist him better," Endric replied.
#########
The next day arrived very quickly and the group of twenty found their way to one of the aircraft floors.
An aircraft that would take them to where the oasis is located was already waiting for them.
"Big brother," Endric voiced as he moved closer to Gustav within the aircraft.
"You're back," Gustav voiced in response.
"Huh? Back?" Angy and Matilda who were beside him, voiced in confusion.
"Yeah, I didn't think you'd realise," A wry smile appeared on Endric's face as he said to Gustav.
"It was quite easy for me... just like how I can see you have grown taller," Gustav and Endric kept talking, ignoring Angy and Matilda who still had looks of confusion.
'Damn Husarius... I thought you said no one would notice the difference in physical appearance?' Endric cursed internally.
"What happened to you?" Gustav questioned.
"Nothing much," Endric responded.
"Hmm, is that so? Alright then," Gustav could see that something was up but he didn't want to delve too deep since it might not concern him.
"I have something to ask you," Gustav added.
"Huh? What is it?" Endric sounded a bit surprised.
"Later. We'll talk about it later," Gustav replied.
Endric could already tell that it was something Gustav didn't want the others to know about so he just nodded in response.
Zzzwhhiiiiiiihh~
The aircraft took off at this point and dissappeared into the northern skies.
-sssss
he passed. He kept a box in our apartment and told my mother to give it to me when I awakened my bloodline like he already suspected I would..." E.E began disclosing.
"After opening the box I found cash that would last us for a period of time and something else... A guide to bloodline channeling," E.E added.
He explained to Gustav that this was when he began learning how to channel his bloodline due to the guide his big brother left behind.
He trained his ability by himself till he surpassed the first Bloodline rank and the opportunity for him to join the MBO arrived when registration instructors came to the city to scout for potential Mixedbloods.
