"STOP!" Cy shouted, but he was held back by the third guy, who continued to cackle like a goblin.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
The grandma was bombarded with attacks that did just enough damage to have her cry out in pain but not allow her to faint.
Cy's tears only flowed harder as he looked over at his mother, who stared at him with a blank expression.
"YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER! WHO ARE YOU!" Cy shouted as his sadness began to diverge into anger.
He tried to rip his arms out of the adventurer's grasp, but he was at least a high C-rank or low B-rank, meaning Cy was nowhere near a match for him.
"Isn't that enough? I'm getting kind of bored," The mother said, and it was kind of creepy how cold she was… but then, it twitched.
I don't know if anybody else noticed, but I saw her expression twitch slightly, which could've meant a variety of different things.
"Psh… These geezers aren't worth anything anyway," The two men said just as they pushed away from the grandma, who had completely passed out.
Both of the old grandparents were still alive and didn't seem to have any life-threatening injuries, but besides them, there was the fact that Cy was about to die.
The man restraining him had grasped the back of his neck with both hands and began to press into his spine, releasing cries of pain.
He laughed sadistically while Aisa and Findir shut their eyes, saving them from the horrific sight, but then…
BAM
The mother had run up to behind the man who was about to kill her son and then kicked him in the back of his left knee, causing him to topple forward.
His grasp on Cy had been let go, and just as he was released, he scuffled backward, away from the three threatening men who had directed their attention towards the mother.
Her gaze was cold and merciless, a sight that even sent chills down the adventurer's spines.
BAM BAM BAM
After giving her a flurry of angered punches, they kicked the dust right beside the beaten mother as she bent down on her knees.
"Tch… Ruined the mood. Let's go. You'll be punished accordingly once we get to the base…."
"We wouldn't have even given you a chance if you weren't the husband of that man… Alright, bitch, get your stuff, and we're leaving,"
The mother quickly gathered her stuff with a sour expression on her face before following the three men who were even sourer than her.
"Wait! Don't leave! Mom! Mom!" Cy shouted, and as he tried to chase after her, a ring of fire suddenly burst around him.
The ring of fire practically rose up to the clouds, blocking Cy's path and allowing his mother to follow after the men without any burden.
But… we all see it… Her anger, rage, and disappointment in herself as she followed the three men.
Tick
My vision then suddenly disappeared, with my senses seemingly numbing into oblivion, leaving me to just exist.
It was a scary experience that made me a bit nervous, but before panic could truly set in, everything came back to me, and I fell onto the dusty, dirt ground.
"Huff… Huff… Ah, my head hurts," I heard Aisa mutter beside me, and when I rolled over and snapped my eyes open, I saw Cy crying over his grandmother.
"Why me… Why me… Why did she leave? Hey, Orion… You're smart, right, so you should know why she left," Cy said, and I let out a long sigh.
It's gonna take a while to bring him back to reality… this is really, really bad.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why she left," I responded, and Cy snapped his head towards me, his eyes bloodshot and tears flowing down his cheeks.
"What did I do? Is it because of me?" He asked another question.
"No, I'm sure it was because she loved you, and she went to go gather some money for your family. I'm sure they're going to be paying her we-"
BAM
Cy immediately ran up to me and socked me in the throat, almost knocking me out due to how hard the whiplash was.
"*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*,"
"Cy! What the fuck was that for!? Why'd you hit Orion!?" Aisa shouted, and just as she walked up to him with a face filled with anger, Cy directed his glare at her.
She stopped instantly in her tracks, sensing that getting any closer to him would be dangerous.
"Orion! Don't fucking kid me! If she really did still love me, why was she so fucking cold to me!? DID YOU EVEN SEE HER FUCKING FACE!? NO! WHY DIDN'T YOU EVEN HELP!? YOU SAW MY GRANDPARENTS GETTING THEIR ASS KICKED BEFORE ME AND YOU TWO JUST CLOSED YOUR EYES WHILE ORION JUST STARED AT THEM!" Cy shouted, and then there was a long pause in the heavy air.
'But your mom was sincere. She was only cold, so you didn't chase after her into your own death. She is still most likely going to support you, but right now, she needs to make sure that you're safe….' Is what I wanted to say, but I knew saying that would completely disregard his mother's efforts.
I'm sure she was just in as much pain as him… possibly even more.
"TELL ME! SOMEBODY FUCKING TALK! MY MOM IS GONE! GONE FROM MY LIFE! SHE HATES ME, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!" Cy shouted as more tears began to flow from his eyes.
BAM
This time I socked him in his face, causing Findir to swirl behind me and hold me back from punching him a second time.
"AT LEAST YOUR MOTHER IS STILL FUCKING ALIVE!" I shouted, the jar of anger in my body reaching its limits.
He kept complaining and complaining about not even the worst situation that could've sprouted from that scenario.
"AT LEAST SHE'S STILL ALIVE FOR YOU TO HATE!" I shouted once again, and Cy dropped to his knees.
