Chapter 6
Xellorus raced through the forest at speeds too fast for the naked eye to comprehend with the red heart held firmly on his hands.
“This is Xellorus, I have successfully retrieved the red heart” said Xellorus to the communicator on his wrist, which he used to communicate with the other light brings.
“Alright then, hurry up Kinerikan. Once we have the heart we may begin our righteous mission, cleansing this and the rest of the six worlds of the darkness that has consumed them all, for the glory of Ansaki Tonju and the his holy light” said a female voice coming from the communicator.
“His holy light shall soon rain up…” Xellorus stopped mid sentence upon feeling something moving at speeds he could barely comprehend and striking him from behind.
Xellorus stopped immediately before looking down to his chest and saw much to his shock and horror that as fist covered in blood, his blood, was now sticking out of his chest.
“Miss me” a familiar voice whispered from behind before the bloody fist was removed from his chest.
Xellorus then collapsed on the floor with blood sipping out of the wound created by the fist that went through his chest.
Xellorus then looked up from the ground to see the face of the man who had struck him, even though he already knew who he was.
“Aselero, but how?” asked Xellorus with a look of shock on his face as he expect Aselero to be as good as dead with whatever that was left of his remain being digested in the belly of the Slotula.
“It’s going to take a lot more than an over grown turtle to put me down” said Aselero.
Aselero then took a moment to look at Xellorus, finding it hard to believe that he was staring at the same man that would constantly lecture him about his unruly behavior and his lack of respect for authority, the same man who’s by the book mentality greatly annoyed Aselero and was praised far and wide for not just his impressive speed but loyalty toward Kinerik as a guardian and protector, he would have never believed in his wildest dreams that he would ever live to see the day where same man who tremendously irritated him with his by the book way of think would have to be taken down by him of all people for the good of not just Kinerik but all six worlds.
“Why, why did you do it Xellorus? I admit it you were a pain in the ass to work with but I never figure you of all people would be capable of doing something like this” said Aselero as he bent down to Xellorus’s level.
“I already told you, I grew sick and tired of serving under those who are beneath me. I was trapped in cage, blinded by the darkness. I was the perfect solider, obeying orders without questions from those who were lesser than me, I was a fool but then one day I heard his voice calling out to me whispering softly to me, telling me how I could be so much more under a master with power beyond ever single being in not only Kinerik but all six worlds. His words freed me from my cage and casted away the darkness that blinded me allowing me to see the truth” said Xellorus.
Aselero upon hearing what Xellorus said just chuckled lightly before saying, “let me get this straight, you joined a cult, killed a council member and betrayed your own people all because you heard a voice”.
Aselero then grabbed him and sped him all the way to a tree, pinning there with rage in his eyes.
“You were willing to risk the lives of everyone not just in Kinerik but all worlds just because of a stupid voice” Aselero said mad with rage before punching Xellorus in the face.
“Countless lives and people with families, mothers, father, and children” Aselero then began to ram his fist harder in to Xellorus, using his speed to increase the force of the blow behind his punches.
“Everyone in Kinerik, my wife and sons” Aselero before his body began to glow, overflowing with the excess power he was generate the more he used his speed.
Aselero, noticed that his body was glowing but did not care and allowing his power and speed to continue to raise, all he wanted to do was make Xellorus pay for betraying Kinerik and risking the lives of everyone not just in Kinerik especially his family all because of a stupid voice he heard in his head.
Aselero, feeling that his body was being to reaching its limit as he began feel his excess power begin to slowly tear his body apart.
Aselero knew that if his speed contined to increase it would mean the end for him and so he decided to end Xellorus with a final blow, allowing all the excess power flowing through his body flow in to his fist and driving it straight in to Xellorus, delivering a blow so great that it tore apart not just Xellorus but also the tree Aselero pinned him to in a brilliant explosion.
Aselero upon delivering the final live ending blow Xellorus took a few deep breaths, calming and slowing himself down, causing his body to stop glowing.
Aselero then looked around the scattered remains of Xellorus that were now littered around him before nothing the red heart that was held firmly by Xellorus’s now savored hand.
Aselero then went to the hand and then crushed it so hard under his boot that it broke its bones before picking it up and prying away the red heart from its grip.After getting the red heart from Xellorus detached limb Aselero was about to leave before hearing a voice coming from the ground.
“Xellorus are you still there” said the voice, alerting Aselero.
Aselero then looked down, looking for where the voice was coming from before finding Xellorus’s communicator.
Aselero then picked it up and spoke to it, saying, “Who is this?”
Then the female voice emanating from the communicator then replied saying, “Who are you, your voice doesn’t sound like Xellorus”.
“That’s because I’m not that son of a bitch” said Aselero.
“Hmm, then that means you managed to defeat him Aselero” said the female voice.
“How do you know my name?” asked Aselero.
“Xellorus is one of the most skilled warriors in Kinerik, which was one of the reasons he was chosen and there is only one person according to him who can rival his skill and speed, Aselero.
Also by the way he described you aren’t the most polite person in Kinerik” said female voice.
“So, you’re a member of the cult Xellorus joined” said Aselero.
“We are not a cult Aselero, we simply servants doing our master’s work” said the female voice.
“Really, by dooming all six worlds” said Aselero.
“Dooming? Heavens no, we are rather trying to save the six worlds from the darkness that corrupts them all” said the female voice.
“Save them by using something that nearly destroyed all of them, sounds pretty sensible to me” said Aselero sarcastically.
“Sometimes destruction is only way to save everything” said the female voice.
“Like I said before, sounds really sensible” Aselero said in a sarcastic tone.
“I take from the sarcastic tone of your voice you won’t cooperate with us and hand over the red heart” said the female voice.
“Clever girl” said Aselero, confirming to the woman he was communicating with that he wasn’t going to hand the red heart over to them.
The woman then sighed before saying, “we do you people have to be so goddamn stubborn. Alright then, if you’re not willing to do this the easy way, if you don’t hand the heart over, I and the rest of the rest of Light Bringers won’t be able to ensure the safety of people of Kinerik which includes your wife, Swifa and two sons, Fastilo and Spedori”.
Aselero snapped upon hearing the woman threaten him with his family lives.
“If you dear lay a finger of any of them I‘LL….” Aselero was cut off mid sentence by the woman saying, “Oh I won’t dream of doing such a thing but if you don’t cooperate well, I can’t ensure blood wouldn’t be spilt”.The woman then ended the transmission.
Aselero then crushed the communicator in his hand out of frustration and anger as thoughts about Swifa, Fastilo and Spedori filled his mind, worrying about their safety and what the Light Bringers may do to them.
“No, I won’t let anything happen to them” said Spedori before racing off, not caring about the risk of generating too much power as he ran as at that very moment the only worry that occupied his mind was for his family and even though it may kill him, he wanted nothing more than to reach them as fast as possible.
