Chapter 56: Fighting with the four commanders (3)

"No this can't be"Henry muttered in disbelief as he let go of any hope of survival.

The sword starts to move toward Henry's head.

"Kid go to eternal slumber"The spirit muttered.

Time seems to have frozen in Henry's eyes as the sword is moving toward him slowly.

"Maybe it's the effect of the Ocean of Death, I might not die today after all"Henry muttered under his breath.

He tried to move away from the incoming sword but he realized that he was also moving at the same speed.

He knew at this moment that it was not the effect of the Ocean of Death.

"Time has slowed, I think it's because I am going to die"Henry muttered under his breath.

As flash after flash of memories of his good time with his family started to play in his head.

"Mom, I want to eat the dessert that you made. You know it's my favorite" A young boy around the age of 3 said to his mom.

His mom just shook her head slightly.

"No sweets before going to bed since they are bad for your teeth. Mateo, can you put Henry to his bed?"The young woman shouted.

A young man put down the newspaper and exclaimed.

"Ok darling," Mateo said

Mateo walked towards Henry, and he then carried on his hip. Henry tried to protest but he couldn't do anything to his strong father.

A minute later, his father tucked him into his bed.

Tears started to flow from his eyes as Henry watched the flashback. The flashback disappeared. Another flashback started to play

From good times with his family to bad times. He also started to see the flashback of his childhood.

"Hey, Henry let's play football, "A young girl said to a young boy standing not too far from her.

"Elosie" Henry muttered under his breath as he saw the flashback of his childhood.

This young girl is Elosie, also this place looks kind of similar to a certain place.

The young girl started to run towards him. She tripped over and fell to the ground.

The girl immediately started to cry. The young Henry rushed towards her, then he brought his hand in front of Elosie.

"Grab hands and stand up," Henry said to Elosie.

Eloise shook her head while tears still flowed down her cheeks.

"I can't stand up, it hurts," Elosie said to him.

Henry pondered what to do for a few seconds before he got an idea.

"I have an idea," Henry said to her.

He walked close to her and then he picked her up with two hands. He started to carry her.

At this moment it will look like a prince carrying his princess away.

"I will carry you," Henry said to her.

Then flashbacks started to dissipate into countless fragments. His scenery had started to change.

The darkness around him all of a sudden was replaced by bright light everywhere. The spirit and the ripping sword both dissipate into countless fragments.

"Where am I? Am I dead?"Henry muttered under his breath

A gentle voice resounded in his head. When he heard this voice, he immediately knew who it belonged to.

He turned his head around and saw a young woman looking at him.

"Mom Mom!" Henry screamed as he saw her.

He also spotted a middle-aged man beside his woman. He realized who the man was. It's normal other than his father.

Henry forgot everything and rushed towards them. He embraced his parents and burst into tears.

He cried in their embrace for the next few hours. He relieved all the pain that he felt after their death.

He had been in so much pain after their death that no one could imagine it. So after he met his parents, he lit up his heart by crying for hours.

"Enough child, now stop crying. I know after our death you have been through a lot.

However, I can see now you have become a fine young warrior who surpassed his father long ago.

I wanted to talk to you for a little while but you will have to return now"Scarlet said as she tried to hold back her tears.

Henry didn't want to return but when he remembered about the responsibility on his shoulders. He hesitated to return, then he heard the voice of his father probably for the last time.

"Henry, you also have to take care of your little brother. You also have a responsibility towards a world greater than you can imagine.

The system has chosen you because of the enormous potential and hidden dragon that lies inside your heart.

When this hidden dragon is awakened it will change the world forever" Mateo said to him.

When his father bought up the system, he was shocked beyond words. Before he could question them any further. Henry felt a pull from behind him.

He saw a black portal pulling him towards it. He knew it was time for goodbye.

"I probably will never see them again"Henry exclaimed as tears continuously fell from his eyes.

"I love you two, Mom and Dad!!!! I am sure Elijah feels the same way too!!!!!!"Henry screamed as he was pulled towards the portal.

"Goodbye son, may you live a long and happy life"The two of them simultaneously said as they started to dissipate into countless small fragments.

At the same time in the dark realm.

Henry abruptly opened his eyes all of a sudden, he spotted the sword still heading towards his head.

"I can't die here today," Henry shouted.

Henry tightened the grip on his sword as much as he could. His body could be engulfed in sword intent.

"Ripping sword, no need to maintain the barrier, just regain your full strength. I will talk about everything,

Cma you do it in a serious"Henry screamed in urgency as his voice carried nervousness.

The ripping sword didn't reply. In less than a second all of the gales of wind infused with sword intent started to rush towards Henry.

As the blade got closer, Henry was left with no choice but to use the ripping sword to block the attack. The ripping sword has a choice of breaking

"Sorry," Henry said.

The collision of the two blades resulted in a thunderous explosion, shaking the surroundings. The gales of wind, infused with the sword intent of the ripping sword drew near with each passing second.

The sound of metal clashing got louder with each passing second. Henry was able to barely stand his ground against the spirits.

Henry exerted as much as power he could from his muscles, bones, and fibers. His muscles bugle due to how much power he is exerting.

The push between Henry and the spirit is in a stalemate at the current moment.

A few seconds later, Henry started to get overwhelmed by the power of the spirit.

"Damn it, I won't be able to last for long. If this keeps up I will die in the next few seconds" Henry muttered under his breath.

All of a sudden a strong gale of wind started to engulf the spirit. The gales of wind were infused with Henry's sword intent.

"I see so you sacrificed your defense to try to kill me. It's not a clever move kid. It will backfire, soon millions of minions will attack you.

At that moment you won't be able to do anything."The spirit exclaimed as he started to laugh.

Even stronger gales of wind started to gather around him. Thousands upon thousands of sword slashes appeared on his body.

Darkness Gy begins to leave his body rapidly. The power of his push also decreased considerably.

"Now is my time to finish this to push him away"Henry muttered under his breath.

With all of his strength, he pushed the sword of the spirit. Within a second it broke into two pieces.

"Yes!! I have succeeded now I will have to get to safety"Henry shouted.

However, Henry had spoken too soon, he chains charging towards him at an incredible speed.

"That spirit again but I think I can dodge it"Henry muttered.
