News of Deliora

*June 20, Year 774*

It has been one week since Ur and her daughter Ultear reunited, and the mother and daughter spent the rest of the week close to each other every single day.

Today they are shopping around in the town when Gray heard a merchant say something that made his pupils shrink.

"Did you hear, it's the sixth town that has been destroyed by that monster, I've been thinking of leaving this area with my family, lest we got caught up by that monster."

Gray immediately went to that merchant and asked with a hurried voice.

"Tell me! What does the monster look like?"

Although the merchant was overwhelmed, seeing that it was a kid, he still answered.

"Well from the news I received, the monster is a blue giant, with two dragon-like arms, and two feet like eagle claws, and covered with a series of spikes all over its body."

The more Gray listened, the greater the hatred that is shown in his eyes, as he clenched his fist thinking of one night.

That one night ended all the happy memories Gray have with his family, that one night when a beam of light came from the distance.

After Gray woke up after that night, everything was gone, the town he lived in, his parents, and his friends, if not for Ur and Lyon at that time.

Gray would have died since a kid like him doesn't know how to survive by himself.

"Deliora..." Gray said as he hung his head low, but his eyes were burning with great hatred at the name.

The merchant was about to leave when Gray raised his head again as he asked.

"Mr., can you tell me where the monster was last seen?"

"If you are thinking of going there kid, I won't say it."

"No, it's just so that I can avoid the area where the monster is to avoid encountering it and losing my life."

The merchant nodded feeling that this was reasonable so he answered, "The monster was last seen at Spring Lake Town, but it's been three days ago so you should be careful of the area around that town."

After that the merchant left, Gray stood there with deep eyes not knowing what he was thinking, he turned and walked towards the house in the mountains.

Ur and the others looked at each other and then hurriedly follow to stop gray if he's gonna make any stupid decisions.

After reaching the house, they saw Gray packing up his things into a satchel, Lyon shouted.

"What are you doing, Gray?!"

"I'm going to fulfill the promise I made to myself when I worshiped Ur as my teacher, I'm going to avenge my parents!"

"So you are just gonna leave like this?! After what Ur-Sensei reached you, you are just gonna leave because you heard of that monster?!"

"Don't you know what Ur-Sensei will feel if you suddenly disappear and then she will end up hearing about your death?!" Lyon Shouted with great anger on his face.

"I Know! I know, How Ur-Sensei will feel after seeing me gone, but there are things that cannot be avoided, since that night, Deliora and I were fated to meet and battle to the death!" Gray shouted as a line of tears slid down his face.

"But you are just a kid! Can't you at least wait for a few more years till you fight that monster again?!"

"I wanted to! But, I've been searching for days but didn't find a trace of it, and now that there's finally a chance how could I let it go?!"

At this time John who was standing outside the door couldn't hold it anymore as he pushed open the door and smacked Gray's head.

"What fated to meet, What searched for days and can't find, you ungrateful brat trying to sneak out and leave Ur-san to be sad."

Gray was mad at being insulted and smacked and shouted.

"What do you know?! You don't understand what I felt that day! That day I lost everything! You don't understand because you didn't experience it yourself!"

"I may not know the pain, but I surely know that at the state you currently are, you will not be able to defeat Deliora, or even put a scratch on it, all of it is because you are too weak."

"Searching for a monster? What does a kid as you know? You are just a weak, selfish brat." John said calmly as he didn't even try to hide his contempt for Gray at this point.

And he is right in doing this because when Gray was young, he was self-righteous, selfish, and reckless.

It was because of him that Ur ended up sacrificing herself to seal Deliora.

[Author mini-series

A haggard youth in an electric chair said his last words to the camera in front of him.

" I'm sorry [Author]-San, I didn't manage to save you, or even find a trace of your whereabouts."

From the camera, the author's voice sounded.

"I'm sorry that I dragged you into this Wakamura-san, you should have just ignored that I went missing so that you won't get dragged into this mess."

"It's alright [Author]-san, it's just sad that I won't be able to read your novels when I die, but I'll brew you a barrel of wine so that we can enjoy it together once you joined me on the other side."

The author's cracked voice sounded from the camera.

"Sure, see you on the other side Wakamura-san, it won't be too long after all."

Then the camera zoomed in on the table the author, revealing the plans for the last few chapters of his novel.

Then with a click sound, Wakamura was electrocuted by the chair, but this wasn't shown to the author as the camera was already cut off with his last sentence.]
