Chapter 9.7

A sky cleared of sins, a burning and lifeless look and, above all, the tears of a dragon. Definitely an essential scene. Koute, in desperation, tried to turn back the clock. Twenty seconds ... no. Ten minutes! An attempt that could change everything, accompanied by a failure that did not change the situation. Koute's magic was interrupted before it even started.

"Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because? Because?!" - Koute thought shrilly. Why did your magic fail right now ?!

-… No use, this magic will not work before my presence. - Commented the man.

Koute returned to his human form and, with tears streaming down and a bitter face, walked slowly over to Corlin's severed body. He fell on his knees over the pool of blood and in front of him was the head of his beloved cut in half.

Tears flowed and mixed with the bloody puddle. Madness entered his hands and rose slowly and calmly up his arms, reaching his chest and dancing as in a party of the severed, dominating his heart with an evil perpetual darkness full of joy.

Koute's finger started toasting to and fro; an endless dance under Corlin's blood. The footsteps of the enemy who severed his beloved were increasingly distant. Then, when Koute's finger dance finally stopped.

A circular diagram made of blood and with a five-pointed star in its center, was waiting for a second blood. Koute bit his fingertip and spilled the liquid. The diagram started to glow in a color that was neither black nor white, but it was a much bloodier red than any other.

Then came a gigantic silhouette with long, dark, carbon-like horns, a muscular body and reddish skin. With a solemn face, he observed the situation. That being, without a doubt, was of the race of demons, because that was what Koute invoked, but ... that there was something that went far beyond what the blood of a dragon and a demon could invoke. He looked at Corlin's remains for a few moments and then looked at the young dragon. The demon king was already far away.

- Did you summon me, child? - His voice made everyone's heart stop for a moment. It was as if he had used some kind of attack, but Koute didn't care about anything else.

"Yes," he replied cheerfully, a joy that was destroyed by his face.

- So why did you call me?

- Save her! Koute took Corlin's head broken in two and held it out.

- Very well, the price is as follows: You must not let a man named Kytes stop being human. In return, I will prevent her soul 700 times from being broken.

- I don't care about the price! Just do it soon!

-… Then they still call me evil. - The being snapped his finger and all parts of the body began to shine and then went out. - It's done.

- But she is no longer alive!

The being took a deep breath and crossed his arms. - I tried to warn you. Do not boast, she will reincarnate, you just need to find her.

- So that was it ...

- Well, I must tell you to keep your promise, because otherwise, she will face a fate worse than the death of a demon. Bye. -The body of the being started to decompose and eventually disappeared.

The last scenario was the starting point here. The world began to collapse like a dream that never existed, Kytes' memories gradually returned and the planet's gravity began to reverse. Falling skyward, he finally recovered his memories.

Now he is Kytes again. A dark room, a wooden chair on which he sat and in front of him, Koute, a young man with golden hair and light skin who wore a white blouse and brown sweatpants.

- Yo, Kytes, did you enjoy the walk through the memories of the one who once devoured your soul?

- Hey Koute, we are idiots ... - Kytes argued with a heavy face.

- Really. - Koute was sad.

- This 699th time, isn't it?

- Yes…

- So I need to make sure I don't let her die.

- I hope my skills will serve something.

- Certainly they will, and even if they do not fit, I will manage.

- It certainly makes me more relaxed. I am pinning my hopes on you, Kytes, the soul eater.

- Goodbye, Koute, the time dragon.

Second technique: Empress of eternity, Gulão: The Pig of Ragnarok

The invoked technique made Kytes' body go back in time, making a simple change. He deflected some of the poison and let it pass in smaller doses. It didn't take long for your body to develop immunity.

The place began to shatter like a mirror, the perpetual darkness was fading, Kytes' consciousness slowly returned, until he was able to open his eyes to see what was before him.
