Chapter 32: Evil always meets a bad end
"So that\'s all it was."
With a sorrowful voice, Father Albert said.
The grief from the past overcame him.
"So, why didn\'t we try to rescue her?"
In a furious yet panicked voice, Galiriothoxmus asked.
"Did you really think I had never tried?"
For the very first time, Father Albert bellowed in anger.
He tightened his fist in anger and, due to the distress, the blood started coming out of his palms.
"Father?!"
Both Galirothoxmus and Lady Selene were left terrified after seeing the blood.
"I wasn\'t sure whether Mina was alive or not, yet I sent about one hundred heavenly Warriors to rescue her, but they all perished by that monster. I didn\'t give up. I sent just the triple of it, but again... no one survived. So, in the end, I lost hope..."
Then, he glanced at Galirothoxmus and Lady Selene and added,
"But then I remember about Ary. I found out about him. As a result, I chose to raise their son. Because I believe that Ary has something different in him. And I know...the time will come someday...when Ary will end the tyranny of that monster!"
"Then, does that mean choosing Ary and giving him Almita was all your plan?"
Galirothoxmus asked.
He was only ordered by Father Albert to summon a warrior using the book of Almita. At first, Galiriothoxmus was surprised to hear that he had to give the book of Almita to the Warrior. But since it was Father Albert\'s order, he did as he told him to.
"Yes," Father Albert admitted.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the sky, commenting,
"Because I know, Ary would be able to do it. Better."
Then, he closed his eyes, and mumbled,
"I know he will become stronger one day...stronger than the 1st Warrior... Shin Inochi.
***
"....."
Ary was left in a daze as all his memories got unsealed.
"Father... Uncle..."
He called out as he remembered the words that James uttered at the end.
"Mother..."
He called out as he remembered the scene in which his mother had been tortured by the Demon King.
The tears started rolling down his cheeks as he remembered that tragic moment.
His anger and frustration overwhelmed him again.
He realised the real reason why he hated the Demon King so much. He realised why he desired to be stronger than the first warrior.
He realised his actual aim.
"A-Ary..."
Erica called out. She was worried about him after seeing the tears in his red-angry eyes.
Ary didn\'t reply, but lowered his gaze.
He understood what he had to do.
"You bastard!"
Leon, the Demonic Beast, yelled as he fired a plasma beam at Kashi.
"Strike-5!!"
Kashi yelled as he swung his blade and cut the beam in half.
CRACK!
Unexpectedly, Leon punched Kashi with his right claw and he failed to dodge it.
SWISH!
And at a swift speed, he flew toward the north and ended up hitting the valley.
"Damn!"
Kashi let out a cry while trying to stand up.
He felt a sharp pain in his left arm.
He felt so numb.
\'Not yet...\'
He said inwardly, as he realised that his left arm had fractured.
He held his left arm by his right and glared at Leon while gritting his teeth.
A sinister smile formed on Leon\'s face after seeing Kashi\'s situation. He claimed,
"Look at your condition, Warrior. How nostalgic it feels."
".....?!"
Ary widened his eyes after hearing, "nostalgic" from Leon\'s mouth.
The veins over Ary\'s head got stiff due to anger as he understood what Leon meant.
"Grr...."
Ary clenched his teeth and tightened his cutter blade of death.
Strange to say, yet due to anger, blood started flowing out of Ary\'s eyes.
"Ary!!/Bro!!"
Erica, Emily, Mike, and Mary were left flabbergasted as they glimpsed the blood from Ary\'s eyes.
But while ignoring their reaction, by using swift speed skills, Ary flashed at Leon.
"Hmm?"
Leon reacted as his gaze shifted to the right but before he could react any further.
SLASH!!
"Wha...?!"
"Huh?"
Leon and Kashi reacted as a black shockwave cut Leon\'s right claw and an excess amount of blue blood started flowing out of it.
Yes, the same claw that stopped Ary 8 years ago when he was trying to protect his mother.
BAAAM!
Leon knelt to the ground while roaring in agony.
"....?!"
Kashi, Erica, and others were left in a daze after glimpsing that scene.
They were shocked to see Ary get that much stronger all of a sudden.
"Y-you..."
Leon said as he realised that the attack was done by Ary.
Ary, who appeared in front of the fatigued Kashi, looked at Leon with his deadly eyes and commented,
"This is just the beginning, Leon."
"...?!"
Leon widened his eyes as he realised something.
"Wait! Are you really–"
But before he could ask completely, Ary, while pointing his blade at Leon, commented,
"Yes! I\'m that Ary Inochi! The son James Inochi and..."
He gritted his teeth and added,
"Mina Inochi."
"Ary..."
Kashi called out in a sympathetic voice.
He knew about Ary\'s past since Father Albert had already told him while appointing him.
"Th-That\'s impossible! How?! My lord had already sealed your memories!"
Leon panicked. He was surprised after knowing that Ary\'s memories were unsealed.
"What...?"
Erica reacted. She didn\'t understand a single thing that was going on.
"Yes, that bastard did that!"
Ary bellowed, then he stood in a hanging stance position, commenting,
"But it doesn\'t matter now. I know who I\'m and what my purpose is!"
"Ding!"
Unexpectedly, Almita made a dinging sound and reported,
<Skill:- Flame blade is unlocked.>
"And that\'s why..."
Ary continued as the fire surrounded his blade.
He jumped toward Leon, yelling,
"You shall perish!!!!"
"Wh—?!"
Leon reacted by opening his mouth to launch a plasma beam to kill Ary. Ary had left aback as he saw Leon opening his mouth.
In mid-air, he guessed that he might not be able to do it alone.
However,
\'Son, you can do it!\'
Ary heard a voice in his heart.
His eyes grew enlarged as if an excessive amount of energy roamed through his body. While tightened the grip of his blade with his full might,
"LIFEFORCE ASSIMILATION—FLAME BLADE!!!"
At the top of his lungs, Ary yelled, and energy in the surroundings collected around his blade at a rapid speed before Leon could even fire the plasma blast.
Ary swung his blade, and like a hellfire burst from his blade,
SLASH!
With the combo of fire and energy, Ary decapitated Leon\'s head.
"...?!"
Kashi, Erica, Mike, Emily, and Mary were left open-mouthed as they glimpsed that scenario.
Thud!
With a thud, Ary landed on the ground, and Leon\'s head fell behind Ary.
BAAAM!
Leon\'s gigantic body fell to the ground with a booming noise.
"Why...?"
Leon mumbled.
"I just did what my Lord told me to, and still ended up like this. Why...?"
He wasn\'t satisfied with this type of ending.
He stayed loyal to the Demon King for more than five hundred years.
Ary glanced at Leon\'s head with a cold gaze and commented,
"It\'s because you support evil."
Then, he turned back and, while lowering his gaze, he said,
"And evil always meets a bad end and the same goes for you."
"...?!"
Leon reacted in panic as he realised that his body had started fading.
His head started fading, and while crying, knowing that he would die any moment, he commented,
"I\'m... sorry... Ary."
Whatever the reason was, Leon apologised.
It seemed like he felt bad for what he did to Ary.
"...."
Ary didn\'t reply and didn\'t even look at him.
"I\'m...truly sorry..."
Leon uttered again, and soon, his head vanished, leaving a black haze.
Ary placed his left palm over his chest, saying,
"Daddy, Mommy, Uncle..."
Then, he lowered his face while closing his eyes and mumbled,
"I\'ll definitely make that bastard pay for what he did!"
