Eras's head fell to the ground while Kim's body collapsed onto the floor, blood mushed out of him as if he were a tomato that had gotten squeezed.
"Is this how I die..?" Eras thought but a second later he smiled.
"Of course not!"
With half his body exploded from Kim's attack, he didn't know how he had survive the attack, it would've have killed almost any other beings but yet Eras was able to survive. Though the question shortly live as he thought up of a theory to answer that.
"It was because his aim suck, rather he weren't precise with it. That boy if he have aimed his attack a little closer to my head then I'll surely be gone."
It's as if time had rewinds for Eras, all of his injuries disappear, his head back up to his body. He wiggles his finger a bit and jumps up and down to wake his body up.
Though this is because of Eras power.
"Reviving myself cost so much, and the contract is only a one time use… what a shame.." he stared at Kim with an uncertain look.
"I suppose I should kill him now." He said as he walked toward Kim, unaware that Vas Allen already got ahold of his foot.
"Kill him..? Nah, it's you that's going to die!"
Yuriel looked at Kim's unconscious body, she went and carry him near Uma and Luc. Placing his body down then she look for Mary's body, it was underneath the debris of flesh and rubbles.
"How did the body manage to be full intact she thought?" She carry it and place it against the wall.
She turned her head at Vas Allen beating up Eras. She took one deep breath before joining in."
As they beat up Eras, he coughed out blood but each time he do, it disappeared, almost like it time is rewinding just for him.
As they continued to beat up Eras, Daima wakes up and gently rubbed his head where the pounding headache lies. His vision were blurry for a second before he regained them.
He looked up to see Yuriel and Vas Allen beating on Eras then he turned to his side, seeing two kid laying next to him as well as Kim, his mother's body up against the wall.
Staring at the destruction around him he felt a slight tremble, then another, then another, til the place rapidly begins to shake. Yuriel and Vas Allen could feel the ground trembling is it slant over to create a flat surface.
Eras cough out blood but once more, nothing come out. Despite him getting beat and seeing that he could be injure, he didn't shed any blood.
The flat surface bend as a budge emerge, then what came out of the budge was a giant red hand, skin, flesh, muscle, fiber were showing, all compacted in a single limb, blood drips and spurts out as it approach the winner of the bloodbath.

"I-I'm sorry Luc, Mary, I couldn't save you… I was too weak." Said Kim who was curled up in the corner of the empty void.
"Aughh-" his regret filled gut wrenching screams echos.
He keep on repeating the phrase, "I'm sorry." or "I'm too weak." over and over again as if the loved ones that had die were standing in front of him.
Mugen wrapped his finger on the table and slowly taps on it. In a rage of face, he asked Kim:
"What are you whiling up about? Your gnawing is insufferable," he slowly stood up from the throne he had sat on.
"At least you're alive, that's all that matter. Honestly I was surprised that you've managed to still be alive, after all you were just in the sidelines watching as thing unfold-"
"Shut up!!!"
Mugen face widen but then soften, he look at the pathetic man in front of him and scoffed, he then turned his head toward a white light emanating in the dark.
With the face of disgust, he utter:
"And what is a gnat doing here? For a pest, you sure know your way to find this place despite knowing that it is impossible for you to be here, now what are you doing here, I don't presume you're here to just totter about..?"
"And I see you haven't change, your still rude despite freeloading in someone body's, you show no empathy towards the host you lied in… but I'm not here to exchange words," the white light narrowed itself towards Kim.
Kim still broken, face complicated to describe look up as the white light appear in front of him. It was warm, the whisper of voices were soothing, calm, and comforting.
"Kim please get up."
"Whats the point? Two people I know died, why should I?"
The white light stood quiet, Mugen watches from afar as he smirk and cross his arms.
"'Please Kim, get up.' What a joke." Mocking what the white light said.
The white light looks back at Kim.
"Kim, if I were to tell you a way to bring back one of those guys, would you accept..?"
Kim looks up at the white light, unsure by what it meant.
"W-what, you could bring them back..?"
"Negative, not 'them' but only one but the cost is…"
"I don't care please, I'll accept it, I'll do it please… what do I have to do?"
The white light says nothing, Mugen scoffs as he walks toward the throne and sit back down, his left leg crossing his right.
"Remember the stars I'd give you..?"
"The purple one?"
"No, the first star I had given you when we met. Check your right hand."
Kim hesitatly looked at his right arm, raising it up to see an open view, his clench fist weaken as it breaks open. A glimmer bright light enmity in Kim's palm.
"What is this..?" Asked Kim.
"Your destiny… you have given up your destiny to ensure one of your loved one has survive."
Kim complicated face didn't know what to make do with this, what does the white light meant by that he thought.
"Does.. this mean I'm dead?"
"Close…" the white light stays silent for a bit before continuing.
"This means that from now on, you're destined for death, no matter what you will die, death will have you on his grasp."
Kim look down at the star then right back at the white light, he took two deep breath.
"Then I'm glad… wait-"
The white light interrupted him.
"I don't got any more time to explain, the connection between me and this realm will sever but before it do, head to the 'forgotten kingdom', you where find what you need to do there and remember, from this point one, moving onward, you are destined to die. Goodbye Kim, or should I say 'hero'."
