Chapter 86 Filling The Gaps Of Information#4

There was Dolos standing in front of me with a confused expression. His eyes, which were continuously analysing me, seemed to be getting more and more troubled by each passing moment.

There was another guy on the right of Dolos wearing a grey robe. He had a bright smile, with a slightly dark complexion, on his face, that enhanced his beauty. He had dark short black hair that complimented his black eyes, through which he kept gazing at me with warmth in them. Though it only sent chills down my spine.

The last guy on the right of the black-haired guy had white hair with angel like wings and his white eyes which matched mine, looked at me with amusement in them. He was grinning widely as he observed me, as if he found this whole situation entertaining.

The black-haired guy who was wearing a grey robe moved a few steps forward as he spoke,"it has been a while, how are you young one."

Looking at his bright smile, I kinda felt like I should stay away from him… even though I would really like to not stay close to any of them… specific parts of my memories which have fully returned right now told me that I don't have any other choice…

"It has been a while huh.. Janus… how come you are still alive?" I asked glaring slightly at him and his smile widened a little. Back there the white-haired guy started grinning even more while Dolos was a bit baffled at our exchange, his eyes were deeply focused on me.

"Oh! I am fine. How nice of you to worry about me? I feel so touched! Really, I thought you would straight up jump at me trying to kill me without even listening to me," he spoke as his smile brightened step by step.

"Worried? Ha! As if I will be worried about a monstrous guy like you. Back then I was just as crazy… and now looking at you all healthy, kind of makes me wonder if you ever did die at all…" I trailed off my words as I recalled the memories of my previous life.

"Haha! Monster! That's a funny thing to say to someone whom you killed with your own two hands… I wonder who the real monster among us is…" Janus spoke with the same smile and I sighed as I moved to ask something but before I could say anything…

"WHAT?!!"

Both the white-haired guy and Dolos shouted in a dumbfounded voice, who were observing me with a shocked expression. Their eyes looked as if they were having a hard time accepting that fact and they couldn't help but look at Janus, trying to comprehend what was going on.

"Well… it would be better if I showed you the past, shouldn't I?" Janus asked as he looked at me as if asking for permission from me and I sighed before speaking," do whatever you want."

......….

After the second Cataclysm, there was quite sometime before the third would take place.

One of those days, I was simply fighting against Lucia. It was a death battle, as I called those, yet I doubt I had the courage to kill her.

I could have won the battle, but killing her was out of the question…

-Slash

Using my black sword, I was continuously attacking Lucia, though I was giving my all she was catching up to me gradually and attacking me back whenever she could…

-Clank

Our attacks coincided, and I finally managed to create a gap in this long tiresome battle. Using that opportunity, I moved to kick her as hard as I could.

-Bang!!

My kick pushed her quite a distance away before she became unconscious, as I couldn't see her moving any more.

A smile formed on my face as I began slowly moving towards her, though, all of a sudden, I felt a presence at my back… a man wearing a black robe was standing behind me.

Turning around, I asked with clear caution in my eyes,"who are you?"

I knew he wasn't a human, because I already knew about all the humans that were currently alive on planet Vermillion.

Even though he was so similar to a human, he wasn't one…

"I am Janus. One of the Seven Guardians," he spoke with a tired expression, as if he wanted to get over with everything.

"Guardians??" Confused at his words, I asked again before getting my weapon ready though he spoke before I could even make a move,

"I can atleast do one thing for you before I absorb you… well, looks like you wanted to kill that girl. You might think that she is unconscious, but it's just that I have stopped time consequently making her stop. Also, I sense a strong power inside her that far surpasses yours, so I guess I can do you a favour by killing her…'' he spoke as he began moving towards Lucia and my eyes widened at his words before I glared at him and moved in between Lucia and him.

Finding me defending Lucia, an unamused expression formed on his face as he observed me and spoke again,"what are you doing? You clearly are going to die if you can't even win against her. Why are you trying to save her?!"

"It… has nothing to do with you," I spoke with a little bit of frustration and he sighed before speaking,"for a mere fragment, you speak quite a lot. Anyway, I guess doing good would do nothing here. Let's just get it over with," and then he immediately teleports behind me and kills Lucia in an instant.

I observed the whole scene playing in front of me. I saw Lucia ageing spontaneously at a rapid speed and her whole body decaying instantly before it evaporated into thin air… all of it happened so fast.

At that moment… something died inside me… my hatred for Lucia was gone… and I could only stare at that man… Janus standing there as if his work was almost done here…

"Sacrificial Layer: One Annihilation One Apocalypse," I mutter as I lose control of all my emotions and go berserk, and Janus looked at me once again unamused before speaking.

"What are you tr-"

-BOOM!!!!

I punched him as hard as I could without holding back anything and he got pushed far, far away from me.

He then immediately looks at me, trying to figure out what just happened but not giving him any chances I move in to attack him

-BOOM!!!

As I kept hitting him over and over, he finally started to feel fear as he tried his best to find me before

-BOOM!!!

He hit me, pushing me away from him and looking at me as if I were some crazy animal.

He finally sighed in relief as he used a time binding spell that would stop me from moving as well… however…

"What are you relaxing for? This is not the expression you should be making…" I moved towards him without hiding my burning hatred as I moved.

"Who… are you… even though you are just my clone with only about a percent of my power… still to overpower me… just who are you?!!!" He spoke with fear in his eyes for the first time since he arrived here… but I couldn't care less as I moved towards him as fast as I can…

This time, before I could hit him, he teleported, but something inside me told me where exactly he was and I moved even faster behind him and…

-BOOM!!

Hit him again.

My punches never stopped, and they kept coming and coming from all sides. Each and every attack of mine contained my life force and the more I hit, the more I erased his existence…

He looked at me with a terrified expression before he spoke.

"[Umkehren]" and the time stopped all of a sudden for both of us.

I looked at him with a venomous glare as I almost broke free from this spell as well, but his next words stopped me from making an attack.

"This spell can reverse time and it will return you to the time before I came here, and that girl was still alive."

He said that as fast as he could and I stopped and observed to see that it was indeed true, as things were returning to their previous state.

"I don't know… how you got this power… but can we make a deal?" Janus asked with slight complexity in his words as he looked at me and I just simply observed him.

"You won't remember anything that has happened here until we meet again. This current consciousness of mine will die right after using this spell, but my other consciousness won't. Though they won't remember anything unless you personally meet them. Also, try to hurry things up as you meet my other consciousness because if you don't… they might destroy everything you are trying to save…

What I want from you is simple… help me find all of my fragments… that is all I want… in return I can give you almost anything you want…"

And then he vanished from there, and the time returned back to it's previous state as if nothing happened.

And just like that, my memories of the previous events were all gone…

Then I moved towards the 'unconscious' Lucia and picked her up… before taking her to somewhere safe.
