Chapter 2 : A deep wound in the soul
In the previous chapter we stopped at:
( the prison )
"That was terrifying, man!"
"Yes... Mister Zerav appeared behind us suddenly and without warning."
"Oh you!"
"Huh!? Mister Zerav?!"
"No, I am one of his guards.... I came to take the demon imprisoned here at the request of Mr. Zerav."
"Huh?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? Open his cell!!"
"h..ok"
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
they ? I feel something coming...
Well... I can't count on my senses right now
I wonder... did that person come back again?
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
"You... Satan!"
Star: What?
"You will come with me"
Star: No need... I'm getting used to the humidity here
"Stop being sarcastic and stand up!"
Starr: Alright
(Standing a curtain on his old)
"Open the dungeon"
" Yes sir "
STAR (mentally): Out of jail huh? I wonder... what does it look like outside?
"Come on, Satan."
Starr: ..... (goes forward a bit)
"Stand there, and now put the sacred chains on him."
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
They tied my neck, feet, and arms with chains called sacred chains
I felt weaker than before after it was put on me
It seems to be something that draws energy from the body or something
This is not comfortable at all
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
"Now get out of the dungeon!"
(Star comes out of the cell, the dried blood on his face is black and the eye patch looks very old as well.)
Star: Where are you taking me?
To Mister Zeraf.
Star: Zeraph?
(mentally) It might be the person who used to come up to me every now and then
"Stand still and don't move, we'll move over there."
Star: Shall we go?
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The guard showed something similar to the person who had come to visit me earlier
But it's blue....a bright blue circle
The opposite of the one I saw earlier....its color is red, no...it was scarlet
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
O mighty domain....allow me to move through your sky and your land as freely as the freedom of birds."
Star: Huh? What was that?
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
He spoke some strange words...as if he was addressing someone...
What is more strange is that we disappeared from prison and appeared in front of a very large palace
I've never seen anything like it before...it was really cool
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
"Follow me....Mr. Zerav is waiting for you."
Star: Does Zerav live here?
(slaps) Don't ever call him that cheap, you filthy devil!
Star: .....
"Just follow me... damn you"
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
I walked inside with him....the outside of the palace was really beautiful
Water... trees... and other things whose name I don't know...
Really cool place....this is called Zeraf Ghani
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
"Now close your eyes."
Star: Huh? I can't see
"I will take you myself."
Star (mentally): I don't understand
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
I walked with him with my eyes closed to a place I don't know
And although I can't see...but I feel the smoothness of what I'm walking on
It's a thousand times better than the prison I was in
Zerav is really lucky...
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
"Here we are"
Star: Open my eyes then
"Okay, stop whining."
STAR (mentally): When did you whine?
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
I opened my eyes and found myself in a beautiful and bright room
Tidy and fragrant
And there were three people standing in it
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Gu Ye: Oh! The guest has arrived
You look better than the last time I saw you, kid
Star (surprised): Huh? who are you ?
Gu Yi: Huh? Come on, man, did you forget me? Ah ah ah ah ah
Zerav: Hahaha
Anas: Welcome to the room of the eccentric Ziraffe
Star: Strange... what?
Zerav: Stop talking nonsense, Anas!!!
Anas: Take it easy, man, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Zerav (mentally): Only 5%... Only 5%!!! From the coldness of your nerves, it suffices me and increases
Gu Ye: So boy... How do you feel?
Star: Excuse me, but... where are your clothes?
Gu Yi: Huh?
Anas: Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffbble
Zerav: It's good that he's just without a shirt
Gu Ye: Yes, you're right... It would have been a disaster if I had forgotten my pants too
Ahhhhhhh..
Zerav (mentally): It would have been a nightmare, not a disaster
Star: Umm... who is Zeraph?
Zerav: Huh? I am....why?
Starr: You have a very beautiful mansion
Anas: Listen boy... This palace is not for Zeraph
Star: Huh? Whose permission?
"It's Lance."
Star: Huh?
Sorgen (aka Dark Traveler, Crystal Class Warrior Royal):
Anas: Oh! Hello Sorgen
Sorgen: You gotta keep your mouth shut, man
Anas: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hehe
Zerav: Are you done with your mission?
Sorgen: Yes... I killed 150 demon gorillas today
And 10 giant lizards
I came to rest now...just turn the volume down
Star: Huh?
Sorgen: Hmmm...you look pathetic, kid
(Sorgen exits)
Starr: It's...so cool
Gu Ye: There are hot ones too, but I don't advise you to deal with them as you are
Star (mentally): I don't understand
Zerav: Anyway
Guard.....remove his handcuffs and chains
"h..yes sir"
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
After the chains were removed from my shoulders and neck, I felt a great relief
I felt a little refreshed...even though I felt more pain
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Gu Ye: Now take off your shirt, boy
Star: Why?
Zerav: For examination only
Star: Well...
(unbuttons his shirt)
Zerav: Really terrible
Gu Ye: Damn it
Anas: Scary~
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Everyone looked at me strangely
The reason was clear....that I...
I was full of cuts and bruises all over my back and chest
Big and small wounds
superficial and deep
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Zerav: Don't you remember where those wounds came from?
Starr: No... I remember
Anas: Zeraph... his cure
Zerav: Hey! What ?!
Anas: treatment...
Zerav: Huh? tsk
Come here
Starr: Alright
(Zeraf used healing magic on Star, but...)
Zerav: Huh? It's weird...
Anas: What's the matter?
Zerav: His wounds don't heal
Gu Yi: Why? Hey! Do you mean he...
Zerav: Yes...it shatters into his soul form
These wounds are on his soul as well, not just his body
Anas: Let's take him to a saint, then
Zerav: A saint taught me these healing methods
And he himself said, "If the form of the soul is destroyed... there is no cure for it."
Anas: Oh!!
Do you mean that the Nothingness Saint is powerless?!
Zerav: No, you bastard!!
It's just something he's not capable of....he said it's a very difficult thing
The form of the soul is something beyond the scope of complexity
Suppose someone cuts you with an ordinary knife
Then the wound can be simply treated
But if you were wounded by a certain magic knife
Your soul will be wounded, then it can be treated, but with difficulty
Anas: What nonsense are you uttering?! Didn't you say that healing the soul is impossible?
Zerav: I'm sorry about that...but I forgot to say something
The treatment of the soul depends on the form of the soul and the type of wound that the soul sustained
Gu Ye: Say it all at once, man
Zerav: Shut up, you pervert!
Gu Ye: You're not a pervert, mop-like!!
Zerav: What did you say?!
Anas: Stop!!
So....and according to your words, this demon will have wounds throughout his remaining life?
Zerav: (sighs) Yes
STAR: I don't care.... I've... I've come to terms with the pain of these wounds
Gu Yi (mentally): Poor thing
Anas: Let's get to the most important topic now
Zerav: You're right...
Star.... do you want to be free?
Starr: And if I want... what is the return?
Zerav: To be watched all the time
Starr: Hmmm...well
(mentally) I honestly didn't understand
Anas: So... it's settled
Gu Ye took care of him
Gu Yi: I will! ( holding )
Star: Huh?
Zerav: Huh?! Server, quickly open the window!!
"Huh? h...now!"
Gu Ye: Let's go!! (runs quickly and jumps out of the window)
Star: Huh?!
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Gu Ye pulled me over
And he jumped me high... towards the sky
Although it was crazy...but I got a chance to see this beautiful sky..
A sight that eased my pain a bit
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Zerav: Tsk...go ye
When will he stop using window as his take off route?
Anas: It's okay, man
Let him do this ahahahaha
Zerav: Of course you will say that... This is not your room!!
Anas: Forget it, ha-ha-ha
Zerav: Hmph
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
We stayed in the sky for a bit.... Then we descended quickly in a place full of greenery
Weeds and trees everywhere
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Star: Where am I?
Gu Yi: In the woods
You will stay in the forest until the nothingness saint sees your command
Star: Where are you going?
Gu Ye: You will know when I come back
(jump up)
Star: I...alone...in a forest I don't know
