World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 36 Pull Our Weights

?Zeno and his subordinates cleared the area of the remaining Glinxs that were lurking in the village.

But that still left the village in ruin, Zeno offered them to seek accommodation in Rizaha since he still wanted to discuss something with Truk.

They arrived at Rizaha after half a day on horseback, Zeno went straight to his office with Truk.

When Ava heard the voice of one of the villagers yelling about Zeno's return she was excited.

"He's back!" She muttered, she immediately ran out of the room and headed straight to see Zeno.

But when she got there it was only Hina and her soldiers that were outside, "Where's Zeno?" Ava asked.

Hine looked at Ava after hearing that question, "He's busy with the Lord of Hamadan, If you need something I can help you send the message".

"No no, don't worry about it" Ava uttered, she walked away with a sad look on her face.

She walked over to a riverside, feeling down she began throwing rocks into the water to ease her mind.

"Jerk!" She yelled before throwing the rock in her hand with all her might.

"Wow hey now, that's not how you do it," Andrew said, he had a big basket of fish with him.

"Andrew? What are you doing here?" Ava asked.

Andrew dropped the basket of fish on the ground and sat beside Ava before picking a rock of his own.

"Anna and I decided it would be better if we pulled our weights around here, I'm helping with the fishing, I can't remember what she's doing" Andrew answered.

"I… didn't think of that" Ava said before falling back to the ground and letting out a loud sigh.

"If you're bored I can keep you company, I'm tired anyway," Andrew said, laying on the ground too.

Neko suddenly materialized in front of Andrew before uttering, "Andrew Skak!"

Andrew and Ava were both stunned at Neko's sudden arrival. Andrew moved back a bit.

"Yeah, I'm Andrew… what's up?" He asked.

"Lady Hina would like to see you, she's waiting for you in the garden," Neko reported.

. . . . . .

Andrew followed Neko to the garden and when he got there he saw a round table with four chairs and three had been taken by some people.

Uta, Hina, and Selvin were already seated, waiting for Andrew to make his arrival.

Andrew slowly approached the table but even he was nervous at the way they were all looking at him.

"Great he here, hurry up and sit down" Hina voiced out with her hands tucked and eyes closed.

"Okay…"

Andrew muttered, he walked over to the open chair that was beside Uta, pulling the chair he sat down before whispering into Uta's ear.

"What the hell is going on here?" He asked.

"Just keep quiet, you'll find out soon" Uta replied almost instantly but she didn't even look to his side.

Hina stood up from the chair and slammed her hand on the table to draw the others' attention.

"I'm very sure most of you have noticed this by now, the color crystals at the back of our hand" Hina voiced.

'Color Crystal?' Andrew thought, he suddenly remembered when a crystal attached to his hands at Velmont village.

Selvin rolled up his sleeves and showed his crystal to everyone, his was located on his wrist and was blue in color.

Uta did the same and hers were at the back of her palm, gleaming red and was brighter than both Hina's and Slevin's.

They all suddenly turned to Andrew with their eyes stabbing him to show his crystal.

Andrew sighed as he stared at his palm, 'Any time I show this crystal it's usually crazy as hell,' He groaned as he stylishly looked at their faces.

'I thought I was the only one with the weird crystal at first, but then Uta showed me hers but later didn't explain to me what it was about….' Andrew sighed with confidence, "Okay fine!"

Andrew stood up from the chair and raised his hand to the sky, revealing his purple Crystal for everyone to see.

"You don't have to be so dramatic about it," Slevin uttered smugly.

Hina moved away from her position and walked toward Andrew with a straight face on before stretching out her right arm to him.

"What?" Andrew asked while staring at Hina's hand.

"You have questions about the secret? If so then you need to take my hand" Hina voiced again.

Although feeling reluctant to abide, he held out his hands and got held Hina's, with a flash of light information started to flood into his brain.

. . . . . .

Long ago, after the pandemic that happened in 2015, the goddess of creation sent an angel down to cleanse the world of these monsters.

This angel had no rank or title, he was a mare working angel who was lucky enough to be chosen to carry on the take, his name was Sekio.

When Sekio first arrived on Earth he began clearing these monsters with the overwhelming power he had.

But soon he was forced to fight against a mighty demon called Abedin, a very powerful demon that was fast down from heaven after years of battle.

Sekio battled this demon and was able to seal the demon away but at the cost of his life.

He was slowly dying and he knew he had no time left, demons and Glinx were still running rampant on Earth and had nearly wiped out the entire human race.

Sekio came up with a decision: he was going to find a way to destroy the world and leave nothing on the planet.

During his journey to find a healer, he found a small village getting run by knights soldiers on horses.

When he arrived there the only thing they survived was a girl who was barely clinging to life.

In order to save this girl he made a contract with her, giving her a bit of his magic and turning her into one of his subordinates.

This was when Sekio started to see hope for humanity, he called this girl the weapon Ankia since her powers were based on magic.

And hence he began his journey to find more people to help, he found survivors from different villages making a total of five subordinates.

He made a contract with all of them, giving them the title, Weapon Ankia, Judgement Ankia, Warrior Ankia, guardian Ankia, and Chaos Ankia.

With their help, Sekio was able to fight back against the demon and Glinx, saving the world while earning the named Successor of the west.

He was able to teach the people how to make a contract with demons, once they had placed the leaves in their bodies the chances of demons taking over their body reduced.

The humans became greedy and wanted more of the demon's powers, so they stomped the kingdom where the demons were hiding and began to seal them with a special kind of magic.

Sekio couldn't do anything since it was his time to die, so he gave his Ankias his magic and told them to use it in battling the wicked while saving the good.

Their respect for Sekio grew so they couldn't just let him die like that. One of the Ankia, the judgment Ankia, begged for the goddess to give their master back.

But they got no answer, so they combined their magic and tried to resurrect Sekio which didn't work.

The Weapon Ankia took it upon herself to defeat Lucifer and used his heart on herself, turning her into a demon.

She then exchanged the heart and placed it in Sekio's which brought him back to life.

But it came with a price, they were cursed but the world and now they will always be reincarnated anytime they die in the same world.

Forced to be the Successor and Ankia for the rest of humanities age.
