Chapter 7
Aselero raced through Kinerik, moving as fast as his legs could carry him, not caring about the risk to his life him moving at that speed posed especially since he didn’t have his limiter, he simply wanted to get to his home and his family as fast as he could, even if it meant ending his own life.
As Aselero ran he passed a few of cities, watching as he sped past, how the Light Bring ravaged and destroyed everything in their path with their World Fliers that continued to rain down massive balls of flames from their cannons up above the Kinerik skies down to the cities below.
Aselero wanted to help the people of the cities that were being destroyed by the Light Bringers after all it was his duty as a Hypirex but his desire to protect his family was greater to him than his duty because his family meant everything to him and he was ready to watch his very own world burn down to the ground if it meant he was able to keep his family safe.
So Aselero, with a hearty, raced through the cities, ignoring the cries for help from the thousands of people that had managed to survive he onslaught from the Light Bringers, solely focused on getting to his family as fast as possible.Aselero soon reached his home, thank fully it was still intact, a little shaken up with a few cracks caused by the many explosion created as the balls of flames from World Fliers collided with the Kinerik soil below, but apart from that the house still stood firmly on its foundation.
Aselero, upon seeing his home was intact sighed out a breath of relieve before approaching the door.
He was about to open the door when all of a sudden he felt his entire body begin to ache out pain, feeling, feeling every fiber within begin tear apart from the excess power he generated while running.
He body then began to glow as the power that had built up within him tried desperately come out, freeing itself in a brilliant explosion that would certainly end his life and destroy anything that was close to him, that being his home were his family was currently in.
“No, not now, not here goddamn it” said Aselero as he summoned every ounce of strength he could muster and try to keep the power within him from leaking out, fueled by not more than the desire to protect his family.
He was so close to them and wanted above all else to protect them, there was no way in hell he was going to be the reason they die.So, using nothing but the strength fueled by his desire to protect his family, Aselero drove the power that was trying to escape his body back in to himself.
Aselero’s body then stopped glowing.
Aselero, how panting profusely out of exhaustion as it had taken everything he had to hold back his excess power, took a few steps closer to the door before collapsing on the ground.
Aselero, in the his last moments of consciousness saw, with his vision blurred saw figure upon the door and gasped upon seeing him on the floor, and even though he could not see her face, hearing her voice as she gasped his heart feel at peace, glad to hear the voice of the woman who had claimed his heart before she quickly carried him in to the house.
Aselero then slowly opened his eyes only to found himself lying on his bed in his bed room.
He then tried to get up but as he did he felt his entire body begin ache in immense pain causing him to wince a little as he tried to get up, Aselero however managed to get and stand on his two feet even though in it hurt him immensely as he did so.
He knew what he did was risky, running that fast with a limiter and allowing his body to generate that level of power, it took everything he had to force the excess power back in to him leaving his body extremely sore and exhausted due to how far he had to push it to force all that excess back in to himself which was why his body hurt so much.
Aselero then looked at his broken army and saw that the cloth he tied around it was gone and was now replace with bandages.
Aselero knew it must have been Swifa, knowing that even though they were get each other’s nerve and argue senselessly throughout they were still madly in love with each other and there was no way Swifa would see his injured hand and not try to treat it.
Aselero couldn’t help but smile as he thought about how much his wife loved and cared for him before noticing something placed on the counter not too far from his bed.
It was the red heart and upon seeing it Aselero remembered the Light Bringers and how they threaten to hurt his family if he didn’t hand the red heart over to them.
Aselero then quickly grabbed the red heart and rushed out the room to see if his family was okay.
He dashed out of the room, through the entire house moving at incredible speeds, checking every room before finally find Swifa, Fastilo and Spedori in the alter room.
There, in the alter room he found the three of them on their knees before an idol hug on the wall which like man with red demon like skin, two sets of wing , one resembling that of an angel with pure white feather and the other resembling that of a demon, black, torn and tater, and having three faces, the face of a demon with ram like horns on the left side, the face of a man on the center and the face of angel with an angelic halo on the right.
It was an idol of Yaseki Tonju, The One Who Came After the Light; the god who was believed to have created all six worlds and reign supreme over all.
Swifa, Fastilo and Spedori were busy praying to Yaseki Tonju for protection and to save them all from whatever danger that had befallen Kinerik.
Aselero wasn’t in anyway a spiritual and did not believe in Yaseki but he also understood that Swifa did and her faith in him, for reasons that were far beyond Aselero’s understanding, made her feel safe and at peace so he respected her beliefs and never tried to impose his lack of belief upon her, her faith and belief in Yaseki even rubbed off on his sons and like Swifa, Aselero respected their faith, albeit begrudgingly.
Aselero waited for them to finish praying before making his presence known with a simple knock on the door.Spedori and Fastilo upon seeing that their father was alright ran straight to him, with tears of joy falling down from their eyes, ramming in to him with a hug and enough force behind them to send Aselero to the ground.
“I’m not dead but considering how hard you two just hit me I not far off” Aselero said, feeling a jolt of pain as his son rammed in to him and sent him in to the ground.
"I’m so happy you’re alright dad, I was so scared that something bad might have happened to you” Spedori said with tears falling down from his eyes as he hugged his father even tighter unintentionally worsening the pain Aselero felt from his sore body.
“If you two don’t get off me right now I assure you something bad will happen” Aselero said with a stern look on his face which made his sons get off him upon seeing the serious look on his face.
“Sorry about that dad” the two brothers said in unison with fear in their voice as they spoke.
Aselero then got up and then approached Swifa, seeing the look of terror, fear and confusion in her eyes.
“What is going on, Aselero, one minute everything is fine and the next massive ship appear from the sky rain massive balls of flames down” said Swifa.
Aselero saw the look of fear and worry in her eyes and it broke his heart, he hated seeing Swifa that way and it only made him even more angry and determined to make the Light Bringers pay as they were the rude cause of everything that was going on.
“Calm down Swifa, I promise I’ll explain everything before first, we have to leave, right now. We aren’t saf…” before Aselero could complete his sentence he noticed a massive red ball of energy approaching the house through the window.
Aselero then acted, grabbing his two sons and Swifa, and then running away from where the ball was approaching before it could hit them, he managed to them all to a safe enough distance before the ball collided with the house resulting in a massive explosion, creating a massive hole in the house.
“Are you all okay?” asked Aselero.
Swifa then turned to Spedori and Fastilo, checking to see if they’re alright and weren’t hurt badly by the explosion.
Swifa after checking to see if her sons were okay, turned back to her husband before and nodding her head confirming that Spedori and Fastilo were alright.
Aselero sighed in relief upon seeing that his family and weren’t hurt by the explosion.
They then heard a familiar female coming from outside the house saying, “If you don’t want me to reduce that house and everyone inside it to ashes, I suggest you come out right and hand over the red heart”.
