Chapter 56 One Long Night#19



Reaper looked at Demitri with a widening smile before speaking,"I want you to rule over… Arcadia… as my slave."

Demitri observed Reaper with slightly wide-opened eyes with a baffled expression. He didn\'t know whether it was a lie or a truth but compared to living in Bryxton, in hiding, only to be found by the vampires and be killed off, this was a better deal in many ways.

If it were a lie, then he would just become someone\'s underling who could potentially kill all vampires. He might also get Reaper\'s protection in return.

If it were the truth, then it would be even better.

However, the thing that costs in exchange for such a reality… was his pride. He wasn\'t really a prideful person but to become someone\'s slave wasn\'t something he could easily accept. Even if it were the best deal on the table for him.

Perhaps in his past, he could have given up and easily became Reaper\'s slave… but not anymore.

"Kill me already," said Demitri as he looked at Reaper with a sad smile. Reaper then looked at Demitri and sighed before thinking,\'did I… push him too hard?\'

"Why did you steal the amulet?" Reaper asked as he looked at the night sky which had turned the darkest for today. It was the day of the new moon and only stars were visible in the night sky.

"Greed," answered Demitri regrettably, as he looked at Reaper without hiding anything from him.

"Was it worth it?" Reaper asked and Demitri chuckled a bit before speaking,"at the cost of my freedom. Not one bit. I thought… I thought I could get the world under my control. I could have everything I want… but… who knew there was such a… price to pay for this power?"

Perhaps sometimes… it is better to be satisfied with what you have… cause you never know what cost you might need to pay for what you want. Reaper… knew it very well… that feeling of despair… he has been through what Demitri is going through… he knew it all very well. That feeling. It hurts. You feel pathetic… you want to die… but…

"Any last wish?" Spoke Reaper as he looked at Demitri, finally deciding that he can\'t make Demitri one of his. He has too much going on in his life… but since Reaper has already shown him a card, which he shouldn\'t have shown to anyone yet… he needs to be gone.

\'At least you could die with some peace,\' thought Reaper as he moved closer to Demitri. Perhaps things could have been different… perhaps… if there were something that could have been done… however… it can\'t…

"Can you… kill someone for me?" Demitri asked as he observed Reaper\'s sad face. He felt happy… at least his death bringer is someone like Reaper.

"Whom?" Reaper asked Demitri who had a sad smile on his face. Demetri spoke," Can you kill Liza Frost? The partner of the Sixth Commander?"

Reaper looked at Demitri with a sympathetic smile before speaking,"Sure." and then Reaper muttered in an audible indistinct voice,"Forbidden Magic: Reaper\'s Slash."

-Slash

And then Demitri died without making any moves… even though it was a clone… and it wasn\'t just one of his clones… all his clones… including his real body, died that night.

"Perhaps… I should have done it in a better way. Guess.. There is only so much I can do with the amount of time I have… let\'s hope I can find someone better to rule Arcadia before time runs out," muttered Reaper as he looked at the dead body of Demitri\'s clone. He began searching it for anything, but all he found was a couple of cash cards.

He then stood up before wondering where the real body of Demitri might be. In the beginning, Reaper did not know about the clone of Demitri… however, when he first slashed Demitri and saw his responsiveness, by calculating at what power level Demitri would be right now, he understood that it was a mere clone in front of him.

Still, Reaper wanted to scare him before making him sign a slave contract… however… that guy started planning to play the \'I want to die\' card. The clone wanted the real Demitri to be free from Reaper, by making him think that Demitri would die when Reaper kills him but in reality only the clone would\'ve died. Perhaps he was scared of Hygeia when he saw her… but who knows.

\'Now, where would the Amulet be?\' thought Reaper as he looked around the city from the rooftop before sighing as he couldn\'t figure it out no matter how he looked at it. Perhaps he needs to wait for sometime, before the amulet itself comes back on top.

"The Vampire King needs to use it at the time of the attack… or else, it would be difficult to utilize him… let\'s hope everything goes smoothly. Maybe I will need to visit this city sometime in the future as well," thought Reaper before walking towards the edge…

-Thud

Though he fell on one of his knees.

-Cough Cough

He coughed some blood before he stopped himself from falling off with his hands.

-Cough Cough

He vomited a bit more blood as he tried to stop himself. After he managed to hold himself a bit, he turned to the side and…

-Thud

He fell on his back and saw the night sky around him. It was a night sky which had turned to the darkest for today. It was the day of the new moon and only the stars were visible in the night sky.

\'Maybe… I should stop for a few moments and get some rest. It has been one long night already,\' thought Reaper as he looked at the night sky that had become more or less blurry.

"You shouldn\'t have used that spell," spoke a familiar voice as strength started returning to Reaper\'s body. He knew this voice and it kind of made him wonder… How is this possible?

"Don\'t tell me you had no plans after this? If that is the case, then it really is pathetic, you know?" the voice spoke and Reaper\'s strength returned to more or less normal. He turned around to see Hygeia sitting next to him with a worried expression on her face.

"Isn\'t it impossible for spirits to come to this world more than once at a time for a period?" Reaper asked as he looked at Hygiea with a confused expression and Hygiea smiled at him before speaking,"It is. You do know quite a lot about us spirits, don\'t you?"

"Then?" Reaper intently looked at Hygea sitting there smiling, with her green hair that gave her a lifelike aura and her green dress that complimented her green eyes. She was a breathtaking beauty, but he had already seen so many beauties that he had gained some immunity against the charm of beauty.

"Look around," she spoke and finally Reaper looked around for the first time as he found that it wasn\'t the rooftop where he was but in a closed space which felt like it was inside of a tree.

"Well, since you are healed already… go back…" she spoke, chuckling at his dumbfounded expression before smiling at him. His face looked like it had a thousand questions, but being pulled back, he was not able to ask any of them.

"Try to take things one step at a time. Don\'t rush. You have more than just one world to save, regressor," Hygeia spoke with a sad smile as she looked at him vanishing from there. Her eyes, which had a bright spark, turned a bit tired as she then finally lost her consciousness and got lost in the dreamland.... Until she recovers her energy again.

The scene in front of Reaper changed as he found himself back at the rooftop in tiptop condition. He looked around for a few moments in a hurried manner before closing his eyes. His thoughts were in turmoil right now… there were so many things he wanted answered. There were so many things he needed to know…

With his eyes wide open as he stared off in space, confused at what had just happened. No… he knew what happened. It\'s just that he did not know why… or perhaps how it happened.

"A deep breath in…" he spoke as he took a deep breath and calmed himself down a little.

"A deep breath out," he said after letting all his emotions go.

After repeating the process for a few times, he calmed down enough to think properly. He then looked at the edge of the rooftop before he filled mana in his feet and then began running towards the edge and then… he jumped off… before letting himself fall freely…

-Thud

[Oh! You are back. That\'s earlier than I thought]
