Eras fell the ground, the mushy ground softened his falls. He rubbed his head before looking up at the sky—the ceiling where the big eyeball lies.
A star is falling toward him, bright and shiny, it glows a silver color, flashing the glittering white light as it's compete with the red light.
Eras didn't tried to avoid the star, or rather he knows that he can't, it was tracking him, all he could do was to tank it.
Upon the star coming contact with Eras's skin, the star was incredibly bright, it was like a binding white light, surpassing even the sun's brilliance, even at a distance.
The star immediately shots up with the flash, an intense heat pulse radiates outward, the wave itself cause a deafen, booming sound—a sudden, powerful surge of air pressure, capable of leveling building roar as the blast wave propagate outward.
There was and is only a bright white light, no other color except red but it fades away into obscurity of the light. Screams could be heard but what came after was complete silence.
Focusing on the widespread destruction, the fire rages as the shattering building around become rubble.
The devastation cause from the 'star' created a wide range crater that extends farther than what the realm could withstand.
"Cough that monster really did it.. he have shook this realm."
Eras's held up his organs from spewing out, his right arm shaking, as his flesh and bone were exposed. The left side of his body was covered in gore, most of the part that made up his human part was gone. He himself didn't know how he survive that nuke.
"..Am I alive because of my contract..? Tch- how about the rest of the people, did they all vanished—no they did not, I feel a faint mana, three in fact, but there seem to be five presence that still standing."
Without a moment to rest, his head got wrapped around someone finger—Vas Allen. As he clasp on Eras's face, he repeatedly slammed him down against the ground and wall.
Yuriel cough due to the smoke that lingers. The fire wall she have created have protected her, somehow it was able to withstand the nuke.
"H-he really unleashed that attack.. geez and you call me reckless," she turned to look at the kids.
"They're all knock out… Luc, is that your name? I'm sorry for not protecting you, and you were just a child too…"
She looked around at dreaded aftermath, silent, what used to filled with cries for help, gut wrenching screams or begging is just quiet now.
"Wait, Kim! From what I know he didn't have any protection."
She stood up and saw a faint silhouette in the smoke, it was walking towards Eras.
"D-don't tell me he survive.. but how?" As she lost in her mind and lost for word.
Eras flicked Vas Allen away, knowing that he couldn't keep at bay for long he could stall him. Using the huge crater and fissure around him, he suck Vas Allen into the cracks. Patiently he waited for Vas Allen to come out but nothing. He chuckles before looking at Kim.
Kim took a step, a step closer to Eras, with his left arm broken and burn of scars plaster on his skin, he continued to advance forward.
"How did you manage to survive that, from what I can see, you have nothing blocking you and you're not strong enough to tank, so how did you?"
Waiting for Kim's response, all he got is silence and a anger stare.
He claps his hand together.
"Not going to speak huh? Fine, how about this-"
"I already know what you're going to say," said Kim as he cut off Eras.
"Let me strike the first deal, my memories for the information of your power. Is that not what you were going to ask me?"
Eras smile, he began to laugh frantically.
"Seems to me that you already figure out some of the bases of my power."
"So what's the answer? Make it quick because I'm going to kill you for starting this event."
Eras slightly tapped his finger on his chin to make it seem like he was thinking but he already had the answer to Kim's question.
The side of Kim's sclera is red, it seem like he was going to cry—like a person that's ready to mourn someone death.
Eras seemed to be amused when looking at Kim despair face, he chuckled before answering.
"No.."
"I see.. then get ready to di-"
"Is what I wanted to say but staring at you, you look pitiful yet it felt as if it suited you. I want to see all of your anguish with my own eyes." Eras said as he extend his right hand to shake Kim.
Kim slowly reach out his right hand as he's about to shake Eras's hand. Kim grabbed on his wrist.
"Actually I want to change the deal," his dreaded stare look downwards as he continued speaking.
"You can see my memories when you die."
Kim tried to kick Eras in his crouch, his foot stop in the air when it was just about to hit him.
Kim didn't see surprised he let out a painfully sighed before—
"I see… the power where you control the air is back.." he let out a heavy sigh once more. He let go of Eras's wrist and walked away, showing his back to Eras, he doesn't seem afraid of Eras potentially attacking him.
He turn around back at Eras, raising his left arm up with the help of his right hand. He begins to channel his 'mana'.
"You.. I could feel faint power residing in your left arm.. ah~ I know how you survive that nuke."
Kim point his left arm, all five of five finger and palm facing towards Eras. The mana residing in Kim's left arm starts to channel faster, all the absorption of both the shockwave and Vas Allen mana got absorbed by Kim, that's why he was able to survive.
Though he isn't untouched, the recoil have broken his left arm and if Vas Allen were to have a calm and stable mana usage then it would've have blown off Kim's left arm entirely.
Having now known that, it also mean that Kim was about to release a power attack or projectile that could level a nuke, or atleast be on par with it.
Kim's mind is empty except for wanting to kill Eras, 'sin of greed'. However Eras mind was different, how so?
"Hmmm.. why don't I stop him from releasing the attack? I know if I let him unleash it on me, I'll most definitely die, but my instinct is kicking in, it telling me to not disturb him and let him do what he is going to do." he thought.
The palms of Kim's hand starts to glow, a rainbow color filled orb, spiral and circle around Kim's hand. Once it's done circling, it rushes at eachother, it start to merge, just like how it amalgamates itself into a white ball and nothing more.
Then a sparking effect mixed with blue, red, yellow, purple, green, and more starts to shoot out from the white clear ball—a sphere that's rotate endlessly and infinitely.
"First a monster created a literal star, now a mere mortal that's in possession of that monster's mana have managed to create a white sphere that's could wipe out this whole place.," he sighed.
"Just who are these guys? They look like teens, go play outside or something. I guess that bastard was right, they are interesting."
Then a flashed of white light appears, Kim have unleashed the sphere and it's currently hurdling towards Eras at immense speeds.
A dark echoing voice lingers through the air, the eyeball on the ceiling turn white.
•The 'red hand' have come to an end, the sacrifice is more than enough to take the survivors to their wanted destination.•
