chapter 29 : the war of the two trumpets series 7

In the city center, away from the military area. The blazing bonfire dispelled the cold in the late night. A handsome man and a young man were sitting with their own thoughts.

Aslan? The young man turned to the man beside him.

"What is it?".

"What did you feel when your body was controlled by the devil at that time?". Ask Kai.

"I don't know, everything feels empty. I don't even know what I've done. Elena almost got hurt because of me." Aslan said clenching his fists.

"You like it?". Ask Kai.

"N-no, I didn't think that way. Elena and the others are already my own family."

"Then about that mutant named Mikaela?".

"He is my first family. I will do anything to save him." Kai saw the deep sincerity of this young man. Aslan really looked like him when he was still in the military.

"Oh, I see?". Kai saw the time was nearing midnight.

"It's time to control the demon in you". You say while getting up.

"Hah?".

"Get up, I'll show you something." Aslan woke up according to kai's orders. The man took a few steps in front of Aslan.

"Aslan, remember that you belong to you. Don't let anything control your body. Turn the emotions inside you into a force to protect your family. If you can control all of that, absolute power will be born automatically within you".

"Absolute power?"

The air around him suddenly felt tense. The full moon that had been shining brightly before was now hidden by the clouds. The wind at that time became very strong. The bonfire even flickered like it wasn't calm. The wind grew bigger and formed a hurricane that enveloped Kai. The cyclone was increasingly rolling and soaring into the sky. turned into a red Flame that looked like the color of blood. The flames burst out and from within the flames, Kai's figure turned into a demon with bright red eyes. His hair turned white, with a white mask covering his face. The intense pressure made Aslan unable to even stand up. The young man knelt while closing his eyes.

"Get up, and fight me". say kai.

"But.....". To be honest, Aslan still got goosebumps from the aura that Kai gave off.

"What's wrong? Can you save your family with that kind of determination? Never be afraid of death, if it's for the sake of saving the people you care about."

Aslan slowly got to his feet and drew his sword. Aslan ran and slashed his sword at Kai.

SLASSS

With his two fingers, Kai was able to suppress Aslan's sword easily. "Your sword skills are still slow. Don't focus only on attacks. But focus on making the sword a part of you. Let your heart guide where the sword will go."

Krakkk

Prankkk

Buggg

Aslan's sword shatters to pieces. His body was slammed into the rubble of the building with a bang, due to a kick from kai.

"O-ouch, it hurts." he said groaning.

Kai has returned to his original form. He walked over to Aslan and held out his hand. Aslan took Kai's hand and tried to get up, even though his body was still very sore.

"For your age, you have great talent. Turn all the pain you feel into a strength. A person will never become strong, if he has never experienced pain. Do you understand?". say kai.

"Yes, I know that".

"Here, take it". Kai said giving him his sword.

"Huh? This..."

"Now that sword is yours. You are just like me when I was young. The cheap sword that was yours before, would not be able to contain the great power within you".

Aslan took the sword and felt an energy far greater than his titanium sword.

"Within that sword, there is a demonic figure in the form of a dragon god, named Ryujin. He will acknowledge you as his master depending on your heart's determination. Now try to enter into your subconscious".

"Lend me your power. Ryujin". A fire symbol with a unique pattern appeared next to Aslan's face.

"So this is what it feels like, possessed by a demon?".

"Has the demon in your titanium sword never possessed you before?".

"No, it's just. The energy is completely different."

"Go to the next stage. In that state, hurt yourself and cover your sword in blood". say kai.

"Blood?".

"The devil is synonymous with blood, but don't make yourself weaker than them. But don't make them your enemy either. Be friends with anything." say kai.

Sringgg

"Drink my blood, Ryujin". Aslan injures his own hand with the sword he is holding. The blood from Aslan's hand flowed and into the blade. An extremely powerful energy began to permeate him. Aslan's body convulsed, and his eyes turned black with bright green eyeballs and small pupils.

"Dont lose!". say kai.

Aslan tried to control his body. The more he tried the stronger his body convulsed. Aslan felt a feeling he had never felt before. Pain, revenge, hatred. All those dark feelings mixed together to form negative energy. Aslan roared and his body collapsed to the ground unconscious. Kai took a deep breath.

"Now it's up to him." Muttered Kai. He picked up Aslan's body and laid him by the fire. Kai saw the moon at night which was shining brightly again. Honestly he missed the girl who is now his wife. Do not feel. He's been gone for almost a year. Will Villa be okay? Has their little angel been born yet? Your thoughts were broken when Aslan groaned and his body convulsed. The effect of his body is still there, kai let Aslan twitch like that. He wanted the young man to go all out with his determination. If Aslan can get through all these obstacles. He will be reborn into a very strong figure.

Aslan opened his eyes, he was in the living room of his former home.

"Why should a child like him be born? We must kill him before it's too late." Aslan saw his mother crying in the corner of the room. This place was in such a mess as if it had been hit by a hurricane.

"Devil, you are a child of the devil, aslan". said his father.

"D-father"

Aslan saw his father approaching. But he knew there was something odd about his father. His gaze was empty and deep.

"Well, come here Aslan". he said.

Aslan gasped, he saw his father carrying a kitchen knife at his door.

"Come on, I'll take you to a more beautiful place." Little Aslan who was frightened, immediately ran outside. But when he opened the door, on the floor lay the corpses of his former family that had been killed by mutants.

Bless

Crattt

From behind, his father thrust a knife into little Aslan's back. Thick blood flowed from his stomach.

"You'd better die here. Everyone died because you ran away". The image then switches. At a girl who was biting Aslan's neck.

"I won't lose to you, Ryujin. I still have something to do. I made a promise. And right now, he really needs me". The images are shifting again, Aslan back to the place where his family was killed. In front of him now stood the small figure of Mikalea.

"Aslan, let's protect our family together. I'm counting on you." he said.

"Yes, because you need my help. I'm here to save you." Aslan drew closer to mikaela. Their hands clasped together. Tears flowed from Aslan's eyes.

He was lying in a place filled with white mist. Aslan opened his eyes and woke up slowly. In front of him, a purple dragon with jet black eyes stared at him. Not long after, the dragon's figure turned into a beautiful girl with flowing purple hair that covered one side of her face.

"Oh, I think I've won. You're no weaker than you used to be. Even if I have to try to beat him. No wonder he chose you to be my master".

Aslan woke up and smiled looking at the girl in front of him.

"I already know how to play you.

"Don't talk too loud. Unlike us, you're just a devil's child who was thrown away by your own parents."

"As long as Mika, Guren, Elena and the others need me, none of that matters to me." Said Aslan while clenching his fists.

"Heh, you seem tougher than before. But, your attitude is really annoying me."

"Then what do you want?" Said Aslan.

"I'll kill you". From behind Ryujin, black energy emerged. Ryujin ran and the energy formed a sharp silhouette that shot towards Aslan.

Aslan threw his sword, instantly the black energy vanished. "What does this mean?". Ryujin said.

"I don't want to hurt you". Ryujin laughed sarcastically.

"What kind of attitude is that?"

"I really need you, Ryujin. Will you save Mika with me?"

"Indeed, what's in it for me?"

"I can be your friend". Aslan said with a smile. Ryujin choked, she seemed to see Kai the first time. they both really have something in common.

"Because I know how hard it is to be alone. Feeling unwanted and loved hurts. I really know how it feels."

"So you will be my friend?"

"Of course?". Said Aslan smiling warmly. Ryujin looked at the young man with a probing look.

Aslan opened his eyes. he looked around. He came back to his senses as before.

"You awake, boy?" say kai.

"Loh, did I trouble you?". asked Aslan as he got up and sat down beside you.

"No, it's just that you're very loud." say kai.

"Really? I really don't know". Said Aslan.

"So, did you succeed?".

Aslan nodded "yes".

"That's good then. Then how was your training earlier, did you manage to resist the temptation of the devil within you?".

"Yes, now I have you, Guren and the others. I will not be alone anymore." Kai smiled.

"Take a break, before I teach you how to use that sword".

Aslan looked at the sword in his hand. It felt completely different from his titanium sword. the sword carving was so beautiful with a dragon head on the blade as well as the chain wrapped around it.

Mika, I will definitely save you. Aslan thought.
