Chapter 314 – The Catastrophe
It was mayhem.
No one could stand up to the soldier.
Excrucio was in a puddle of his own blood and next to him were his two son Marcus and John, both unconscious.
Almost all the Romswells were on the ground.
Some heavily injured- others, not among the living.
"Arh!" Albert took a blow just in front of Helio, who was currently crawling. "Sorry, son…"
Helio\'s father fell on the ground, unable to stand up again.
Meanwhile, Helio just stood there- looking at all this, dazed.
"Run…" His mother said, taking the place of his father. "RUN!"
The bleeding headmaster tried to help her. "Get as far away from here as possible."
But- they both were blasted away by rays of light.
"Take the kid and RUN!" The vampire from above tried to say- but before he could finish, he was also shot down by the rays. He crashed into the building in the distance.
Helio couldn\'t run.
He didn\'t have two legs to stand on, he was missing one.
What happened?
He asked himself.
What happened here?
He couldn\'t believe himself.
Just what the hell happened!?
Even moments ago, just moments ago- they were fighting together. They were sure if they stood together, if they fought together, they\'d have a fighting chance.
And yet- out of nowhere this purple soldier changed to ashen color and started radiating heat and gamma rays.
The concentration was far greater than even what Helio could produce.
Almost everyone felt sick- yet they refused to run.
Helio tried his best to shield them and he called for Enira a dozen times. He even tried to kick his family away to safety… He tried.
But in the end- almost everyone just fell to the ground, not being able to move.
Actually, the moment they felt the concentration- they knew it was too late to run anyway.
The soldier again changed colors and started attacking Helio. Helio too charged determined to kill this thing- and yet- every time he attacked the attacks were just being reflected. He couldn\'t do anything to it but watch his family fall one by one…
The soldier took his leg, but he couldn\'t scream… the scream just didn\'t come out- it got stuck in his throat just like the rest of his feelings.
Though his parents couldn\'t keep up, though the headmaster couldn\'t stand up, though Excrucio and his mother didn\'t have the resistance, they all tried to protect him. And they met the same fate… and the rest of the Romswell were already heavily poisoned by the radiation.
Just what the hell happened? Helio wondered again, unable to believe it.
He could only smell the blood- the blood of his family.
His eyes shimmered- his conscience crumbled.
He wanted to crawl into a hole and just stay in there.
Why did this happen?
Why to him?
Why now?
He just got married.
He was finally happy.
His family was together.
He could finally go to sleep in peace- after all these years.
And yet- why now?
Why?
Tears streamed down his face, as he looked at the blood of his father- his mother and the rest.
The soldier sighed. "What a disappointment. And here I thought, you were stronger. Such a shame, really." She raised her arms and changed color to yellow. In her hands, formed a ball of plasma. White plasma. "Perhaps they were exaggerating, after all."
"You\'re just going to let her win! You\'re going to let her live! They wounded her! They wounded mother! They killed!" His mouth spoke but he could not hear his voice.
Rage didn\'t incite in him.
Nothing happened.
It was over.
"Oh?" The soldier paused. The formation of plasma stopped, but it didn\'t disappear. "You\'ve got more?"
Growl.
Helio growled and yet- his eyes didn\'t move.
"W-h-a-t-" He almost spoke one letter at a time. "Can I do?"
What could he do?
Nothing worked.
He tried attacking, it didn\'t work.
He failed.
He tried protecting, it didn\'t work.
He failed.
He told them to run, it didn\'t work.
He failed.
He was a failure.
Everyone just fell because of him and there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn\'t even have the will to live anymore. Nor save anyone else for that matter.
He knew for a fact, no one could be saved after this much radiation.
It was all meaningless.
"Then let me…" The shadow spoke. "The second seal is about to be undone. He is but upon us." The shadow\'s voice was low. He wasn\'t seething with rage, nor was he going crazy. He was awfully levelheaded. "So, let me."
Helio remained quiet for a moment. "Take it… take it… take it all…" He broke down in tears, as he stared at his father\'s cold body.
Everything was gone anyway.
He could feel it. He could feel most of his family were dead.
His uncle- his grandma and even his father….
They were gone.
And the rest would perish soon….
They lectured him so much about doing this for family- but what about their family?
What about his family?
\'Liars…\'
Helio closed his eyes; he never wanted to open them again.
***
Helio stood up on one leg.
A sort of steam started coming out of him. His veins bulged; his face remained expressionless.
There were no grins on his face, just a glare.
"I\'m already out; the seal\'s broken. And father is dead," He spoke. "I suppose there\'s no need for you to stay in there."
A woman manifested beside him. A woman with blue hair, horns, an armored tail, and a glowing black and white aura. Her expression- heartbroken.
"I guess I should have come out when he first called. At least we could have prevented this…" She said, looking around.
"Mother\'s still alive. Go stabilize her and the rest," The shadow spoke.
The woman nodded and ran back, while also creating a strong barrier, covering only the shadow and the soldier.
The soldier meanwhile, just stared at everything, the plasma ball still in her hand. "Oh? So, the thought about. You having multiple forms wasn\'t an exaggeration?" She was delighted.
She had to go through quite a lot these last few days. So, the fact that all that trouble wasn\'t a waste, was something that only gave her joy.
To be honest, she was kind of disappointed. She thought after all this time, she\'d have a good battle, but it wasn\'t.
She was expecting a lot more.
"I don\'t know who you are-" His voice remained stable. "But I will destroy you, your race, and your damn planet. I\'ll erase everything." The top half of his face turned black- eyes red.
Still no skin ripping grin; just a glare.
