Auryn’s Promise.

"N-NO DON'T GO YET!" Auryn shook his body as if to wake him up.

"You are sleeping right? Tell me- this is all a nightmare- just a-a dream I can wake up from!"

"You said you will watch me grow… watch me become strong so don't die on me… Please… I promised I will find you a cure right? Just stay a little longer, I promised…"

No matter what he said or how much he shook him, Master Zach is motionless!

"What have I done… he saved me… I I just want to save him…" Auryn hugged the dead body as he cried For the first time!

Auryn gently put him on the ground, it was at this moment that he saw what type of wound Master Zach is living with and to be honest he can't believe someone could live with such pain and always smiled, every time and everywhere.

Master Zach's body is riddled with scars but they are all scars, there is one that releases a strong diabolical aura, it is a ghastly wound that seems to be alive on its own constantly moving around, it is a very dark scar, through it you can Master Zach organs as it constantly tries to devour each and every part of him.

"He has always been fighting a battle we never knew…" Lancelin's voice is calm, too calm that it is scary, he is deathly calm at this moment.

'What have I done… Am I really right… Is this the right choice, the right thing to do?'

Malcolm asked himself as he watch Master Zach, his old friend depart from this world.

The last demon was also slain while Malcolm is enveloped by a dark energy and disappeared!

The portal was forcefully opened and a strong pressure descend upon all of them, it is none other than the demonic entity earlier that was observing everything, they could have quickly disposed of their foes earlier but all of them are fighting while conserving their energy for this one but unfortunately in the end, one of them has died.

"Malcolm… You will pay" Sir Lancelin is looking at the ground at this moment.

The flames that are almost extinguished from Master Zach's body suddenly erupted and burn his body along with that accursed wound!

Auryn is still on his knees as he watch Master Zach's body burned by his own flames and the eradication of that curse, each and every memories of him and Master Zach replayed in his mind, that made him felt even more pain but also he is now more determined to get strong and protect anyone that matters to him, he is not going to let himself lose another person ever again!

"Am I really a good son… You didn't deserve this, the world is so unfair!"

He brought something out of his bag, it is chest which he opened and heat seeps out.

It is the chains that Master Zach has given him earlier, what better time to put it to goof use than now?

Auryn cut his hand and let the blood drop on the chains which made it emit a humming soynd, it suddenly shot towards Auryn's heart!

"Argh…" Auryn endured the pain as he let it pierce him!

He suddenly felt a new presence in his body…

"ARGH!" He felt another pain, it is very intense, it is like something hot Is running through his body and coursing through his veins on top of all that it felt like a hot chain!

Suddenly a golden chain erupted from his arms, it wrapped around it and completely encircle it and it is releasing subtle flames from time to time!

Auryn turn his hand to stone, he is still feeling the pain from Master Zach's demise but it is that same pain that keeps him going, it is that pain that motivates him and now he has only one thought in his mind and that single thought is REVENGE!

BOOM!

It is a large titan about 30 meters, "Blood… Humans… despair…" It seems to be in pleasure as he take in the scent of blood around and the feeling of despair around.

"How great… I can finally eat some humans after a long time" It scoop down and grab some corpse chewing them without hesitation and no feelings of pity, he truly sees them as nothing but food.

"Delicious… But nothing tastes greater than a living human, wouldn't you agree?" He turns his head towards the group of three.

Auryn is back on his knees while touching the ashes of Master Zach.

"I promised… I will live a good life, make friends and stop all this bullsh*t and senseless war, that is my promise and I always fulfilled my promised, so I will fulfilled this no matter what, I will do whatever it takes to do that"

He make a solemn promise and he never breaks his promise!
