CHAPTER VII Last Line - Part 1

"HUAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!"

Seeing the massacre and dozens of deaths ahead of him, Edward becomes chaotic. Blank gaze fixed forward while he shouted soar into the sky of bright gloomed-red. Her mother could only cry as she ran behind her father, who was carrying Edward and leading the way.

Likewise, dozens of people from the Batavia ship who were running scattered in all directions. Everyone ran in despair, including the samurai and his master who was followed by a dozen crews and Pelsaert behind him.

They were unable to put up a fight or defend themselves against the ferocity of these giant thirteen feet dogs.

Then beside the hovering Torrentias, thirteen figures appeared with terrifying forms like monsters.

"Yo, Torrentias! Can I start the party yet? "

A tall, muscular figure began to speak beside Torrentias.

"Shut up Astaroth, wait for the numbers of the survivor to match the need before we start."

Carrying an abacus made of white bones, the figure looked like a slender woman, even though her form was not like an ordinary woman.

"Look, they scattered in despair, chased by the dogs, hi hi hi hi!"

The next one who said was a figure like a child.

" ... hmm, apparently they are still the same huh, neither devolved nor evolved at all, humans!"

" Wha are you talking about, Halphas? Do you think humans are tadpoles? "

Two more figures appear to have their bodies reversed from one another, but look, twins.

"You see that Leraje, aren't they amazing, my dogs!"

"Oooh, I see ... so that is amazing in your opinion?"

The next two figures are the body of a human figure with three dog's heads and a figure of a woman bounded crystal green.

"Haah ... what! You want to say that they are not amazing at all, huh? "

"No ..., it's just that I think Fenrir should be bigger and scarier than this pig, right?"

"You...!!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, ALL OF YOU !! .... "

Instantly the other twelve figures fell silent as a figure jerked them away. A figure with dark red skin, with strange clothes covering his body.

"Remember that we can appear with body and flesh based on the agreement that has been made by this philanthropist man right here, is not it Mr. … Torrentias? "

Torrentias fell silent and only glanced at the figure sharply.

"Oh, ... I'm sorry, I forgot that the name Torrentias is just an alias, then is it better for me to call you by the name ... Cornelius?"

Torrentias' gaze returned to the front, along with a smile etched on the face of the figure who called him Cornelius.

§

The sound of leaf rubbing provides a peaceful atmosphere in the heart. Likewise with sunlight shining through the throne room of the sultan.

The sultan returned to the throne. He was silent for a while, then after he stabilized his breathing the sultan began to tell the seven people in front of him.

" Ragnarok, the story of the resurrection of the dragon king, and the girl who brings light. In this world, dragons have become extinct, and their existence is only considered a myth to the general public.

But that is not entirely true, dragons are not mere mythological creatures who live in the stories of the legends of the world community. But dragons are ritual creatures that will appear under certain conditions. Or rather the creatures that will appear during the Ragnarok ritual ...

The story of Ragnarok starts with a young girl. The girl who will carry humanity's hopes in her grasp.

In the prophecy, it is written that the girl will be hunted, terrorized, and chased to the ends of the world by the dragon, but the seven heavenly spirits will protect her. However, if the dragon can catch it. The light of hope will be swallowed up with the girl's body, and the door of the kingdom of heaven can be destroyed by the dragon, and the dragon can devour the kingdom of heaven and everything in it.

This is how the story of the girl and the dragon is written, a story that is repeated for hundreds of years and a tragedy that keeps happening again and again in a rite called Ragnarok.

However, for the implementation of Ragnarok, the right container is needed which can become a dragon snake that will later be tasked with swallowing the girl and breaking into the kingdom of heaven, namely 'Jormungand'.

For thousands of years, the demons have continued to try to incite the human heart through hearing and sight, and bind them in a spirit covenant to provide a suitable vessel for the Jormungand. And at the same time, a girl who carries the light of hope will always appear to stop the demons with a dagger of light. The dagger that was sent down by heaven as the seal of the end of the spiritual covenant.

That is where your role of Anna, the girl carrying the light of hope, the princess of tomorrow, who kept the dagger of light to eradicate the agreement of the devil.

Therefore, the two spirits who entered the corpse of the horse and the commander of the VOC that you fought that night, are actually demon spirits who are about to create the birth of a new serpent, Jormungand! "

...

"So, Jormungand ... the devil ..., feel impossible if we saw to our difference in strength! "

"Even with the 'who standing upright' grace I had, I couldn't endure that horse's kick in the slightest ...."

The two Pitung men lowered their heads while wearing grim faces. The fact that they had put up all their strength, and in the slightest, they couldn't beat back those demons really weighed heavily on their sense of responsibility as men.

But Herman immediately remembered the moment when the sultan came and sliced ​​off the horse's head. The moment when the demons chose to retreat instead of fighting the sultan.

"Your Majesty, how can you inflict such fatal wounds on the devil in the horse's body?"

The sultan was silent and did not answer. And instead of giving an answer, he cast his gaze out the window beside his throne, the loose blue sky that stretched out over Kendal.

§

"Waibe, do something !!"

While continuing to run Lucretia put on a worried face as she saw the crew and other passengers being slaughtered by the giant dogs without the slightest resistance but running.

"Haaah, what do you expect from my thin sword Ms.? Just look how big the dogs are! Although I can injure their flesh a little, their bones must be very wide for me to cut! Not to mention their agility, how do you still expect something from me alone, huh? "

"Tch!!"

Lucretia was very disappointed and desperate at the same time, but she also couldn't blame the samurai. So all he could do was keep running to avoid the giant dogs.

Meanwhile, Watanabe, who bears the same sense of responsibility, can only crease his face at his helplessness in facing the giant dogs. While running, his heart kept hesitating about having to leave those who were being killed one by one by the dogs.

His hands kept shaking to fight back, but his mind couldn't deny his helplessness against the dogs. Then he remembered him several years ago when he was still in his country.

In his country, he has no family, friends, or relatives. A ronin from the great war of Sekigahara, who just happened to be able to survive even though he had insignificant sword skills.

Could not ask for a reward of war because the Daimyo, the great king of the region, Uesugi Kenshin, lost and die at the hands of soldiers from the east, making them forced to wander without a master.

Then he also remembered the words of the old man when he gave him the bluish, translucent purple katana when the old man was about to take his last breath.

"As long as you believe in your strength, let this purple blade guide you ..."

Watanabe closed his eyes, his forehead wrinkled and his teeth holding back the resentment in his heart. So hesitant in his heart to have to leave the slaughter by the dogs.

"OH SHIT !!!"

His resolve was suddenly unified, along with footsteps that stopped and immediately turned around. His left hand immediately took the stance on the sheath, and his right hand immediately grasped the katana tightly.

SRIIING ... !!

The transparent purple blade sparkled slightly under the orange sky.

HEEELP !!!

The source of the sound was not far from where he was, a woman who had fallen helplessly under one of the giant dogs. Even though it's not far, with that distance and the speed of the dog lunging at the woman, Watanabe won't be able to reach her in time.
