Death Games
The death of his friend

Slowly but surely, Riz looked away. His eyes were red as if holding back a cry. Without realizing it, they were now in the sky.

“Please, do something,” murmured suddenly. Ra just glanced through the corner of the eye, with a fixed position of lying down. “I beg you, please stop this fight. I-I can no longer see the blood that is strewn in front of me. I beg you,” he said sobbing.

Silence from the God. His gaze swept over everything up there. It was now noon, with a vast stretch of blue sky yet only one cloud passed by. And that was the cloud he was riding on.

“Senka porta (shadow gate)” watered Ra suddenly.

A gust of rough wind hit them. Making Riz Alea flabbergasted. The nuances in front of the eyes are no longer the same. In addition to a terrible fight presented the stranger in front of him.

“Why are you doing this?” a man talking. His dark curls almost reached his thighs. There was a vine-like crown on the forehead, decorated with emerald stones as a charm.

And before him, stood two very young figures. The man had long black hair but the ends were white. While another, blonde curls by grasping lightning in the hand.

“Why?” reset back. “Why Zeus? Why do you want to destroy me? And you're Apophis, why are you this long for me?” ask her with a trembling voice.

Suddenly tears trickled down from the long black haired figure. He threw himself down as if he was standing in front of the speaker. But his hand gripped the ground on the footing, to the point that the black energy that Riz believed was similar to that of Hydragel Kers appeared there.

“I'm sorry, Kronos.”

Zeus just smiled faintly. Slowly his hand touched the shoulder of the God beside him, and blushed out an unexpected word.

“This will be your end, The Noble.”

 Kronos. His eyes narrowed but looked sharply. With a trembling body in his right hand. Directed right at the two young Gods in front of him.

“I curse you, Zeus. I curse you, if you manage to take my throne!” suddenly hard. And the glint of his eyes continued to the other look. “We are the noblest, we are the leaders of the thirteen thrones, yet you can direct your darkness upon me. No, to all of us. You'd rather stab me just because I punished your adore! Your powers are disastrous, but you're not like them. I regret respecting you, Apophis. I'm sorry to admit you're my Noble Brother!” his throat was loud to the point that a violent gust of wind struck the young figure who was the opponent.

“Come,” invite Zeus suddenly and raise the hand that holds the lightning.

But all of that disappeared instantly. Riz gasped, as he found the view above the surrounding sky.

“T-wait! What the hell's going on? I'm not done seeing it!” screech and look towards Ra.

But, the yellow-skinned God still looked like a slacker. Not knowing why, his figure seemed to lose its direction.

“That's the past. The evil past of the Gods. Despite watching everything, but the dark side enveloped us all. And some who are aware of his position want recovery.”

Riz. Honestly, he did not understand and his brain did not understand speech. What happened earlier still made him curious.

“Orfeus said, if one day the world of Guide will be hit by a disaster. The battle of the Gods, also the terrible conflict in the world of Guide relating to Yggdrasil. I couldn't believe it before, until finally all this really happened.”

The young man frowned at his words. Honestly, I don't know what Ra wants to sidetrack but it is clearly implied sadness there. There was also disappointment behind his face.

“And because of his words, all the messengers of heaven and land chose someone to hold the key of the world. An untainted figure no matter what happens. A figure with a conscience lit up even if temptations and tears filled his heart. The figure who became the caretaker, if the destruction of the creatures began to occur.”

He got up from the fall and turned to Riz Alea.

“Come back, see everything. Look how the battle came about. And find the answer, what result do you want to do. We are waiting for you, waiting for your decision. Because you are the key holder. O noble bloodline of man, we look forward to your wisdom,” he said suddenly and touched the face of the young man. “We all bet on you.”

Finished saying that, Riz's body was glowing. Accompanied by an unexpected scream that called his name.

Simultaneously, splashes of blood also adorned his face. Where two figures that meant so much to him were impaled right in front of his eyes as a result of protecting him.

Toz Nidiel also Ellio.

Riz.

Not knowing anything, but the two young men were hugging him. And their backs were adorned with the roots of Yggdrasil who rained down on him.

“Why did you realize? You almost died, Riz,” he chuckled softly.

It feels indescribable. Stiff to meet the situation, moreover, many great guiders are being wrapped around branches and also Yggdrasil roots.

All because of the actions of Helga Nevaeh in the form of a demon god, in the face of the King of Hydra with the noblest apparition. He also exerted the forbidden ability of the tree of life to suck the guider there including the young Kings and other higher ups.

Now all that remains and still stands firmly in the land of gyges is Apophis who is the opponent of Helga, Reygan Cottia, Leduo Perseus, the God of Ares, Seth or Lascarzio, Riz, Toz, Ellio, and others, and also Reve Nel Keres.

If Lascarzio does not release his highest ability, it is certain that Riz and other friends will die.

But sadly, he failed to save the other colleagues. Given their high-level capable guider, making the branch also Yggdrasil root is more crazed in pursuing him. So that everything becomes a delicious meal for the crazy tree controlled by Helga.

However, what Riz found after realizing it was sad.

“Toz!” peeking Riz because his friend let go of a hug and fell down suddenly.

While Reve who had faced Reygan was silent now. Staring fixedly at his friends, accompanied by a strange feeling filled his chest.

“Toz! Elliott! What happened?!” Riz sobbing. “K-why so this?!” her tears flow so hard. Holding their hands, blood flowed down the footing of the two bodies.

“Don't cry, Riz. C-hurry up,” tell Ellio all of a sudden.

“What do you mean?! You guys are like this! No, wait! Doctor! Doctor! Horuscan! T-please treat mere—” his sentence was suddenly cut off, after finding the horror in plain sight. Where the figure sought was also wrapped and hit Yggdrasil.

Terrible form, similar to Aza Ergo whose body was torn not far from him.

It's hell. It's a nightmare for a human child. He who knows nothing but is struck by sudden horror. Without having time to find out the circumstances, it was precisely the sadness directly pierced him.

“R-Riz,” call Toz. His voice was weak and there was a distant roar of breath. However, his hand was so tight to his good friend. “J-if I die, if you are given a chance to leave, can you pass this message on to my parents?” his crying was scattered in the corner of his eye. “T-please say sorry, for not being able to return home.”

“J-don't, I beg you,” Riz looked down and pulled Toz's hand to collide with his face. “A-I beg you, please don't say that. We will return, we will return to the human world in a state of fine.”

But there was no reply from his friend. The silence that was found made Riz stared fixedly at Toz's face. Eyes glazed, but the loss of the spotlight of life emanated there.

And Ellio's trembling voice managed to shake the young man's shock.

“I'm sorry for everything, Riz.”

His grip suddenly slipped. Just like Toz, the rays of life were no longer painted in Ellio's eyes. Their gray bodies, as well as the blood soaking the ground, bear witness to the deaths of both.

Reve who was standing far away from there also slowly started clenching tightly to his hand. His glare went red singing the loss in his heart.

But suddenly, Reygan's sentence mercilessly tore through the hearing.

“Mati too. Too bad there's still nothing left, huh?”

The phoenix-blooded youth also glanced sharply. Emotional strokes were clearly imprinted in the form, indicating that his figure really wanted to rip apart the mouth of the pervert who spoke.

“Kau—” press.

While Riz Alea was silent in her position. Although the crystal clear fell, a strange whisper penetrated into the feeling. Trying to hug the heart to shout the situation.

“We bet on you, O noble descendant of man.”
