Chapter 18: Meaning of Fraternity (2)

The fight resumed, unfavorable conditions were obtained by Russell and his friends, but it did not make them give up. And now Russell was invited to talk by Kirin about what the meaning of fraternity in his view.

"Well if it's like this, now you can't do much, if you try to run I won't hesitate to kill you." Kirin

He brandished his sword which had been electrified to reinforce the attack next to Russell's neck (at point).

"Sad.." Russell

"I'm not gonna kill you, you just have to answer a few questions." Kirin

"Well, what you want to ask, I'll answer your question." Russell

"Well, what do you think brotherhood means?" Kirin

.

Russell was silent for a while to think about the answer, not long after he began to speak..

"If you ask such a question, brotherhood is not limited to the blood relationship between an individual and another individual. We are human, and we are social beings. Fraternity can be established starting with friendship. It is not always a matter of strength, a true brotherly relationship will not stand still when it sees his brother in trouble, and he will try to help his brother as much as possible. Even where there are difficulties, there must be pleasure. True brothers also will not betray the brotherly relationship they have formed. A brother will be willing to share the pleasure with his brother regardless of how much the value of the pleasure, they will certainly try to always complement so as to cover their respective weaknesses.....

Real brothers are those who can pass through all situations both joy and sorrow, and complement each other in their respective weaknesses. I think that's the meaning of brotherhood." Russell

"Hmm, it's true. You can't be underestimated." Kirin

"As you say." Russell

*TAK..

"W-WHAT?!" Kirin

"As you said yourself, I am not an opponent that can be underestimated. Your biggest mistake was getting me to talk, which left me with enough time to think about and strategize." Russell

"That-impossible?! How could?! Your shadow is still here?" Kirin

"My view is not the type of attack that will disappear when you attack its users. My shadow will remain, even if you kill me, and it can only be stopped by the command of the user of this technique." Russell

"Akhc.." Kirin

"It's over now, Kirin. My friends are recovering from your electricity." Russell

"No-no way, Kurai!! Run from here!!" Kirin

"What-what?!" Said Kurai whose power was still not fully recovered.

"You hear me not?! Run!!" Kirin

"I-I can't.." Kurai

"As I said, Kirin." Russell

"Aah?!" Kirin

He was aware of Russell's words about the meaning of brotherhood.

"Alright, Cell. We're gonna finish this thing now?" Wisang

"Yes, don't give the enemy time to think." Russell

"Okay, I'm ready." Michael said

"Kirin, before.." Russell

He took out the Sacred Black Staff and used the Weathering technique, then slashed at Kirin's remaining sword.

*TSINGGG

"T-DON'T! MY SWORD!!" Kirin

"There is nothing in this world eternal. Besides with that sword of yours, you didn't do much good. It's time to say goodbye." Russell

"Don't hurt Kirin!!" Kurai

"What are you doing?! Quick run!!" Kirin

"No way!! Gravity Technique: Release-Akhh.." Kurai

Kurai fell down before she could use her technique again.

Without realizing it, Michael had suddenly jumped and was on top of Kurai who was falling.

"WHAT?!" Kurai

*DRAKKKKKKKK

Michael directly used the Blazing Strike technique which directly hit Kurai very hard. Shortly after, Kurai was killed instantly.

"KURAIIIIIIIIIIIIIII..!!!!!" Kirin

.

After that, the rain fell on that place.

"You guys, I won't forgive." Kirin

"Thank you for your destiny!!" Wisang

He intended to put an end to all this by trying to slash Kirin. But...

"I WON'T LET IT!!!" Kirin

Kirin released herself from the shadow trap of Russell's technique, then she jumped into the air.

"What-what?!" Mikael

"Lightning Technique: Kaminari!!!!" Kirin

"Huh-huh?! Cover everything!!" Russell

*DAARRRRRRRRRR

A very large thunderbolt snatched the place, lucky Russell and his friends could take cover from the enormous attack. After that, it rained even more. Without realizing Kirin vanished with the lightning, he went somewhere while carrying Kurai's body, to bury him.

.

.

.

"He vanished with the lightning. Kurai's body does not exist. Looks like Kirin took her." Russell

"Two out of ten have already been overcome." Wisang

"I'm sorry, Kurai." Michael said

"What's wrong, Mich, you've done your best." Rafael

"Well, I won't forget Kurai for the rest of my life." Michael said

"It's raining really not really." Mikael

"Maybe this is a picture of Kirin's sadness." Ayaka

"A very short meeting with Kurai. I can't believe it's the end of his life so soon. But we have to keep moving forward. Our goal is to save the world." Russell

"Yes.." Say Ayaka, Wisang, Mikael, Michael, and Rafael together.

"Now let's go home!!" Mikael

"Come.." Russell

.

true brothers are not seen from how often they meet, but from how much love in their brotherly relationship. Not knowing difficult or happy, all obstacles will be easy if faced together. Appreciate the time still given in life, enjoy and live precious moments with your brother

"Kurai, thanks for all this time. Now you can rest in peace. Wait for me there. Someday we will be together again. And one more thing. I, will definitely avenge you. Remember that." Kirin said, after finishing burying Kurai's body around their hometown.
