The curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian
The Past - Part XXXIII

"No, no, Xyon! Don't do that!" wyona exclaimed in a soft voice, as the poisonous air that felt increasingly blocked her breath.

"You are so noisy, madam! Die you!!" darkerio shouted with a face full of anger, and quickly, he stuck the black dagger into Wyona's chest and directly pierced his heart.

"Mother!! No!!" xyon exclaimed while glaring sharply, yet still while blocking the nose with his left hand.

Both of his eyes glazed over as he watched the blood flowing from inside the stab wound his mother had suffered from the stabbing of the sharp object. Wyona's body then fell, then turned into fine dust that instantly disappeared in the air. He was killed instantly, and Derix, who was still on the floor, shed tears as soon as he saw his wife was no longer with him.

Xyon then looked at Darkerio with a reddened face as it held a great fury in its heart. He even growled and clenched his right hand until it was red.

"Kneel before me, General Xyon," Darkerio said with a sinister smile.

The young man seemed hesitant to make up his mind, but since his mother had already been killed, he began to think about giving up. His entire body began to tremble, as he himself felt great fear, anger, and confusion.

"Don't, Xyon. Don't do that! You must remain a Palladina! Do not give up easily with the opponent in front of you! I never taught you to give up!" derix exclaimed softly, because of the poisonous air that began to torment his throat.

Darkerio immediately turned his head towards Derix and shouted in a high tone, "You too, you fucking old man!!"

Very quickly, he bent over and pierced Derix's heart using the same black dagger.

"Dad!!!!!" yelled Xyon hysterically.

His face began to be shrouded by great panic and great sadness, even his tears were now drenching his face.

The blood that began to flow out from within the stab wound that Derix suffered, instantly left him dead without being able to say anything more to Xyon. His body then turned into fine dust, which then disappeared in the air.

"So, are you going to change your mind, General Xyon?!" darkerio asked with a sinister smile on his face as he stood straight back up and looked at the young man.

Both of Xyon's eyes, which had been glazed over, now began to look full of anger as he glared at Darkerio.

"Ah, you still have doubts apparently, fine. Watch this black dagger carefully. This black dagger was the only dagger in the universe, capable of absorbing cosmic energy from its victims quickly. Just as a black hole sucks up anything nearby, not even light can escape from it. Do you know what this black dagger is made of?” darkerio asked with a big smile on his face.

Xyon was speechless, he just stared at Darkerio with a sharp look in his eyes while holding back big emotions.

“Oh, apparently you didn't learn it. This black dagger called the Hellix Dagger is made of dark matter, of course. Well, now, if you still don't want to give up, I'll give you a little more game,” said Darkerio, “if I can't have you as my right hand, then I'll mess up your whole life!”

The black fog then enveloped his entire body and he instantly disappeared without a trace. Xyon, who was still filled with anger and sadness because Darkerio had killed his parents, could only cry while still covering his nose with his left arm.

“Find me, and if you manage to hurt me or kill me, then I will free this palace from poisonous gas! You have a little time, son!” darkerio exclaimed out of nowhere his voice came from.

Suddenly the entire room around him turned into a labyrinth. A narrow passageway suddenly appeared, making himself have to once again find Darkerio. While still grieving the loss of both parents at the same time, Xyon still had to fight the big-bodied man.

He tried to stay strong, even though his heart began to feel very sick, in accordance with the teachings of his father and mother when he was alive, as a soldier.

"Come on, General Xyon. Aren't you the one who challenged the universe by having a Crossbreed? Why do you doubt now?" darkerio exclaimed without any visible physique.

Xyon started running, looking for the exit of the labyrinth. However, his steps suddenly came to a halt as soon as he saw a huge screen appear once again before him. This time, he saw Treya and Veina slumped on the floor inside the main room, until he stopped his steps.

He immediately glared sharply at the sight of his two limp-looking leaders, with several servants and bodyguards around them who had fainted first. In fact, there were several officials and nobles who were covered in blood on the floor. They turned out to be dead. Their bodies slowly turned into fine dust that disappeared in the air.

"Do you know, General Xyon? What is the most feared by an immortal being like us?" darkerio asked with a slight chuckle.

"Damn it, just tell me what you want right now!" exclaimed Xyon, who decided to go back to running inside the labyrinth which made him dizzy.

At one point, he then stopped running and began to focus on listening from where Darkerio was talking.

"The heart that stops beating. That was only the weakness of an immortal being. They were proud that they were immortal, but in truth, without a heart, they would still be dead!" it's Darkerio again.

Xyon fell silent while trying to contain his anger and sadness, and he decided to close his eyes while focusing on his opponent's voice.

"Hey, are you going to surrender now, General Xyon?" ask Darkerio.

"I don't know what your relationship is with Hyerin, but, after some thought, it's all my fault. My father and mother died in your hands, of course, they were my fault. However, my parents always told me to be a strong general, to be able to maintain peace within this galaxy," Xyon said, still closing his eyes.

"What do you mean?! Give up now, son!" reply Darkerio who still hasn't shown himself.

Xyon let out a long sigh, then asked, "You are a troublemaker. Yeah, troublemaker. You blamed my feelings for Hyerin, but you didn't tell me who you were. It's unfair, if you talk about the balance of the universe continuously, when you use cosmic forces to attack me, while I only have a cosmic sword. Is that balanced, Darkerio?"

"What do you mean?!!!!" darkerio exclaimed in a high tone.

Suddenly the fake walls around Xyon collapsed and disappeared. He opened his eyes, but only a few moments later, a black dagger threatened his neck from the side. The surrounding room instantly turned into the main hall of the palace.
