Chapter 143: Slain with Thirst
Ain felt the hole forming from the space barrier he established when he looked outside their was no evident of perforations. Ain alerted the team through the communication device. Ophir and Nevi asked Urchin to engulf the whole place with his trance. Lehi got invited with Kiel. Tera and the duke got caught since the strong presence of evil is coming within their proximity. Sienna got included before she open the door to inform Hexel about something she forgot.
Hexel released a sigh of relief. For some reason this fire in front of them gives him the creeps. He looked around to see the Tale Bearers approaching. Sienna run toward the boy and asked.
"So you haven't left at all."
The boy started to sob and said.
"I don't know any place that i can go with."
Sienna comforted the boy. Urchin hugged the boy. Kiel felt proud for having a compassionate son.
"Hey, you really have all the time to be touched." Ain commented.
"Why don't you get a son? You can relate." Kiel threw back with annoyance.
"What kind of prince promote an early marraige? I am just fifteen your highness." Ain answered with roasting emphasised. The two almost hit each other when Nevi walked in front of them and separated them with his palm.
Ophir noticed how Sienna get along with the boy. Lehi approaches Hexel and secured the duchess and duke with her oil. Ain followed it up by resizing Lehi's oil unto a cocoon. The fire transformed unto a man with outlandish outfit.
"That boy has sold his soul unto me. He belongs to me!" the blazing figure roared.
Hexel grabbed the young boy's hand but he cannot touch it. The team got confused as to how Sienna and Urchin easily got a skin ship with the spirit.
Ophir questioned the fire in formation of a man.
"What makes you think this boy got sold unto you."
"His ancestor has promised that all descendants coming from their line will be mine automatically." The foe hissed in disgrace. Lehi stood up in familiarity and muttered.
"It's a familiar spirit."
Nevi clenched his fist and shouted.
"Aren't you greedy. This boy is no longer alive!"
The foe roared as it's frame became widespread and colourful.
"That is the point. I will take his soul with me unto that pit of hell."
The boy shudders in fear as he started to whimper in fright.
Hexel felt pity toward the boy who must have been scared even after life. He can imagine how hard was it for him to keep running but has nowhere to go. Hexel can't blame his parents for taking the scurvy boy home. The boy even died without him knowing.
Hexel drew out his sword and raised it up as he prayed.
"Our Almighty God who values every single soul in this world. Give us the right way to defend and help this boy find his identity and current state. Let Your roaring victory bring peace unto this boy's spirit. Amen."
His sword transformed unto a huge fan with sharp edges. Ain instantly put on the space to separate Sienna and the kids. Lehi remain stable with the resting duke and duchess. Kiel summoned his cane. Ophir had his bones on both hands. Nevi is in geared with a fire proof armour. Urchin released the trance as he comfort the young boy with his tiny hands.
"Your a shameless demon, I bet the people who are in packed with you got tired at how sticky and overbearing you are." Kiel commented.
The demon transformed unto a lava with strong furnace.
"Your mouth should be crisp first! Your tongue bud unpleasant words!"
The fire extended to devour Kiel's face but Nevi used his palm to gripped it. The fire got crampled like a paper that vanished to thin air.
Ophir and Hexel took the opportunity to to beat and attacked the foe but their weapon got burnt to ashes. Ophir summoned his bones bearing a salt water while Hexel did the same as they dodges another blow from the opponent.
Kiel used his cane and thrusted toward the roof. Nevi used his palm to put upon a force that got Kiel successfully land on the roof.
Kiel prayed for a a rain to kill the fire.
"Our father who is Most Holy and High. Let Your rain put off a fire that's been haunting a generation even to their future offspring. Forgive their ancestors for burning offering and flesh for this idol. Amen."
The clouds gathered not in greyish shade but of pure white cotton. The shower begun and Nevi,Ophir and Hexel did their best to refrain the enemy from leaving that spot where the rain shower directly fall. Nevi used his whole body to push back the opponent unto the spot. Hexel used his fan to direct the droplets unto the enemy's body. Ophir empowered Nevi by hitting the foe's back knee and making him forcefully kneel down on the same spot as the rain repel the fire. The demon roared and vowed to take the boy with him. But Ain used his space to ground the enemy on that spot. The fire that hunted the boy's spirit became a surmount that sent the young boy's spirit upward.
Ophir and Lehi performed the auto-harmony. Lehi applied her reverb and Ophir sealed it with the tale bearer.
He bestowed the title "Surmount from the Past." Nevi wrapped it up by putting his alms into action. The book got painted with a boy's shadow beneath fire.
Hexel agreed with his mother to go on with every marraige interview yet in the end his yawn caught a glimpse of Sienna who is following Tera around. He knocked unto his mother's chamber and informed.
"Stop setting me to any marraige interviews. I'll marry that woman who always watched you on my behalf."
Hexel bluntly and nonchalantly informed.
When the duchess found out about Hexel's suggestion concerning Sienna she started to train Sienna to be the person who will take over her instruments in the medical field.
