The Another Soul
Ch. 27

"Is he still alive?"

Fahrez asked Rakka. He looked at Sergio with a guilty look.

There was no movement from Sergio. Rakka who wanted to approach him, suddenly blocked the wall of fire.

"Orga."

"A little while."

Orga looked seriously at Rakka. Rakka went back to her place, and she waited.

Blood dripped from Sergio's jantumg, his skin paled, but his hair was gray.

"Here we go."

Orga. After Sergio's hair turned white, black horn appeared. This time the two appeared, and strangely again the blood that had previously come out of Sergio's heart, was slowly drawn back to Sergio's heart.

The knife puncture wound then closed, as the previous incident had never happened.

Rakka, Fahrez, and Orga get ready. Even each one of them strengthened the restraint on Sergio.

Sergio opened his eyes, this time his eyes were blue and on the white part of his eyes turned completely black.

One word, creepy.

Sergio looked at the three of them one by one. Then his gaze stopped on Fahrez.

Fahrez who felt in the face gulped his own saliva. To be honest he was a bit scared after seeing Sergio's gaze.

And all of a sudden, Sergio shouted loudly.

"YARRGHHHH....!!"

The sound of screaming was then followed up with waves of energy. Fahrez, Rakka and Orga almost crashed just because of that energy wave alone.

Not stopping there, Sergio tried to break away from the bond given to him.

"Fahrez, peg him!"

Orga yelled at Fahrez. Fahrez who heard it was shocked.

"But-but.."

"You want us all dead!"

Orga snapped at Fahrez. Fahrez gasp. In the end he followed Orga's words. He made five pegs made of soil, after which Fahrez finished throwing them on both hands, feet, and stomach.

And strangely there was not a single drop of blood.

"PEEL...!"

"Nats, fold dis quenta..."

Rakka was closing her eyes as she cast a spell. Sergio who heard it getting louder, he was getting rebellious.

"....Corvi de farta, indes hagh. Ma's dis, Zoe Hartez. Ma fawm, kvil...."

The ground that became Sergio's stake cracked, as well as the cross where Sergio was tied.

"...Oh, u'nats. Julvi des, inda!"

A white light appeared. The light shone brightly, then the light shot rapidly towards Sergio.

The light hit the knife that was still right in Sergio's heart. Slowly the light shrinks, as if absorbed into a knife.

The light, it disappeared. After that came the ancient writing that appeared all over Sergio's body. The writing glowed golden yellow, it spread from the tip of the head to the tip of the foot.

Sergio became calm again. He did not shout or rebel, but his eyes remained open. His gaze was empty, there was no light in his eyes.

"We just have to wait."

Orga said slowly. The three of them were still preparing for the worst possible.

"Yo, we meet again."

Eh?

When I opened my eyes, I saw a little boy who was only as tall as my waist. Not just that. As far as my eyes can see, this place is entirely white.

I looked at the little boy. She had white hair and blue eyes looking at me. His face was round and his cheeks were red.

I saw him get angry with this kid.

I crouched down, then looked at the little boy.

Plaakkp....

One slap landed on my face.

Eh? Whahuh? What the hell is going on.

"Hey! Don't bully my body like a child, you treat me the same. I'm older than you!"

"DID?!"

I'm appalled. The little boy shuffled his waist, he put on a haughty and arrogant face. His gaze humbled me.

So arrogant of this kid.

I stood up, and I returned the look of humbling this boy.

"Good, you replied. I don't want you to always be looked down upon."

The boy nodded. I looked at him confused.

"What's? You're my chosen man. I don't want you to be humbled by anyone else."

"Before that, what was your name?"

I looked annoyed at this boy.

"I? Didn't you ever mention it."

"I? Ever mentioned your name?"

The boy nodded. I tried to remember again. The ka?

"Come?"

"NO! Why is my great name compared to the name of food! God, I can't believe you're this stupid."

The boy looked at me with a sorry look.

"All right, how else. Here."

He told me to bow. I followed him too. After that he touched my head with his index finger.

Then a memory appeared. It felt like the memory was like a broken cassette, my head started to get dizzy remembering it.

The boy took his finger off. "I remember, so now. Call my name."

I grimaced in pain. My head still hurts, but I keep saying it.

"Kaeiru."
