Death Games
Thertera Aszeria

“Blerda.”

The girl ignored the talking Hydra King. “And don't forget about your limits. You may be my older brother, but this is my throne. And I'm entitled to send hunters on your sass. Remember that, Revtel.”

Finished saying that, Blerda also left from there. But strangely, the pressing sensation of Vice Hydra to scare Reve was no longer felt.

And Aza, also chose to leave the room together with the snake boy she helped. Do not want to linger, considering that he did not get along so well if faced with Revtel who became his sworn enemy.

“You okay?” ask the empusa official.

“Where might I be okay? He let out a breath as if he wanted to help me. So that's Revtel? Totally beyond my shadow.”

“What did you imagine?”

“Well, big and muscular man. But he looks more like a bookworm. Is he really the Vice King?”

“Ya.”

“What hydra is not wrong to make Hydragel Kers their leader? He is really much different compared to his subordinates.”

“Yah .. It should be Revtel who is King. But I don't know why the hungry boy was his replacement. At least he's much better to talk to.”

“You think so too.”

“Already. Let's just go back. Get ready to enter the gate before proceeding.”

“Increase level yes. What's the test like?”

Aza smiled at him. “Test? Hm .. might be more like a game of life and death. Well, take it easy. If you look at your skills, I think you'll be fine. Then I'll go first. Until we meet again, friend,” said goodbye to the higher-ups after delivering his partner to the door of the room.

And Reve, was still watching Aza's back until the figure disappeared completely.

In the time that continues, the coldness of Guide's world infiltrates into the body of whoever lives there.

Faintly heard the howling of the wolf, and continued on the flow of the waterfall that fell down its rhythm.

His forest was emitting trees like skyscrapers. Birds fly, wet foliage due to the exposure of dew in the surrounding, until finally rare legs of a person with long black hair in line with his vision, staring at the reflection of themselves on the surface of the water in front.

The face was calm and there was a pair of small horns on his head.

“Thertera, what are you looking at?” ask a man to him. And lyrihan just now, managed to disperse the male gaze in front of the water flow.

“Tak. Just watch my face.”

Zeril Septor smiled at him. Slowly his footsteps approached a figure younger than his daughter.

“So, how about the others? Are they on the road?”

“From the message already. But, maybe we'll get there first.”

“Cerberus yes,” while accompanied by a slow breath. Zeril crouched down and touched the stream of water in front of him. “It seems, the decision is already inevitable.”

“What's up? Is there a problem?” thertera Aszeria asked as she glanced at the man beside her.

“No, no problem. It's just, I wonder if this plan will work.”

There's no answer. Unless the apparition raises the head, it represents the male figure of the chimera nation. Its charm is like a starless night sky, interesting enough to be looked at for too long.

Until finally a thin stroke in the form of a smile, slanted on his lips.

“Can only this plan fail.” And his sentence managed to make Zeril Septor turn towards him. “But, no harm tried? At least no one will regret it later.”

“You're quite optimistic, Nak.”

“While I don't think you're like that.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Mm, let's go ahead. Do not let anyone else arrive first, I prefer to be the first one present there,” invite Zeril finally. His steps that turned around left the man a few footings in front of him.

But, somehow Thertera Aszeria even displays a thin grin on the figure in front of her. And he also walked after her.

“Kagura, are you not going to enter the gate?” ask Estes to her co-regent.

But, there's no answer. The woman chose to pay attention to the scenery outside while leaning against the lips of the window. He was clearly shocked and injured. Perhaps, he still could not accept the death of his loved ones.

But on the other hand, the King of Empusa stands on one of the balconies that become the resting place of siren guests. There was no one there but him, as several people were still in their respective rooms.

“What's up? Calling me that. Is anything important? Your Excellency.” There's no response. Trempusa still glanced forward, and the figure who asked chose to approach her. Stand next to him, holding the balcony divider full of stone carvings. “I didn't come here to enjoy the view with you,” continued the questioner.

“Does it really have to be done?”

“What?”

“Killing Ahool and Aquila,” clear Trempusa.

“So it's about them.”

The face of the Empusa King turned disappointed at the young man beside him. “They both, are important nobles in our nation. If the Elders knew, what would happen? They will definitely be very angry and disappointed.”

“Then?”

Trempusa was also stunned. Not expecting, that Aza Ergo's response would be that relaxed.

“Do you not feel guilty in the least?”

“Why should I feel guilty? They're traitors.”

“Aza.”

“Don't be soft, Trempusa. The guilty must die. Isn't that the ultimatum that the ancestors gave you? If you don't like my way, you can change it. Do something with your position like on that wind.”

“Aza.”

“I respect you, because you're my college brother. But as King, even your other subordinates don't really acknowledge you.” The words of the higher-ups of empusa also jolted his heart. Feeling stuck, because it has a point. “Choose correctly, Trempusa. Stay a puppet, or oppose them all. Because of me, will continue to cross with the rope holders,” and Aza also turned her body.

“At least I respect Blerda more. Because he was brave, teasing the fangs of the elders as well as the nobles in his people. Well, if you really want to be like that, then just say it. And I, will be the tip of your sword. Don't forget what I said, friend.”

Aza Ergo who chuckled softly passed from there. To leave the King alone, with the nicks of the sentence he had left behind. Although a little bit of it managed to slap the highest throne holder of the empusa.

A few hours later, the ceiling rumbled. Accompanied by a slow earthquake that gets stronger. The strong wind also hit everything. Simultaneously with an image of a fiery red aura, which flew all over the surface of the Guide.

 Like blood-red smoke, it flew through the air like a snake. Not just one, but there are many. Until it finally entered the spaces of living beings and stood before him.

“This!” pekik was surprised Toz saw what was in front of him.

“Touch only! That's smoke heading towards the ability gate.”

“Really?” look at Rexcel.

“Yes. Justdoit. Faster better.”

And some people touched the blood-red smoke as their hearts wished. Until finally, each of them simply vanished.

Fading away along with the smoke that surrounded them. As a sign, if the living creatures have entered the gate of his ability.
