Chapter 18 - Blue doesn't go well with red

Robert looked back with a confident smile. " At Least I will die while fighting!" 

A sudden blast happened behind Robert. Yellow lightning bolts were visible, accompanied by a red aura. It was Shidoi with a serious look, like he was done with everything.

His fist landed on Robert's face, squishing it, breaking one of his molars. He immediately fainted, falling on the rocky body behind him. 

A red colour beam surpassed Hidoi's eyes, which he could barely see. The red beam was Shidoi; he was behind Robert's fainted body. His leg was ready to kick Robert's face and kill him.

Hidoi appeared in front of Shidoi, his fist clenched to land a punch. 

Shidoi dodged it so fast that Hidoi's eyes couldn't comprehend. He clenched his right hand and covered it with his red aura.

The punch was fast, so fast that Hidoi could only see a red beam for just a nanosecond. 

The punch landed on Hidoi's face. Henry looked at it carefully. He saw a red beam flowing on Hidoi's face for a second, until Hidoi wasn't there anymore. 

Hidoi, on the other side, was flying back, trying to maintain control. He struck on a hill, or if we say, the hill struck him. The hill shattered like glass, and the rocks flew across. 

Hidoi didn't stop; he kept flying, he couldn't stop his own body. He struck many hills, some really big. 

Finally, he stopped after striking a mountain, which shattered, but at last it could stop Hidoi from flying. He estimated the length and realised it should be more than 3 miles(4.8 km).

" Well, I wanted it to be painless, but I see you already fainted." He picked a sword from the ground, which was Hidoi's dropped. 

He aimed it at Robert. He wanted to end this fight with just one slash on the neck. He pulls the sword up sideways, getting ready to kill.

" Man, why the hell isn't my nature's mana working?" 47 was really confused while running in the direction of Robert and his group. 

" This is my only time when I can do something to achieve my plan, and this stupid piece of shit body is not working!" 

He was sweating, really badly. 

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and he saw a kid with his mother standing beside him. He saw himself in front of the kid, brushing his hair. 

He opened," If I should do this, it should be for them, Indhra, just wait!". 

He was running through dust that appeared out of nowhere. The dust was burning his eyes, and he started to tear up due to the burning.

He closed his eyes, as if he were getting ready to face the worst. He could hear lightning. It was obvious that it was Shido's electric power.

The dust cleared, and he opened his tear-covered eyes to see blood splattered everywhere, but his eyes were blurry.

He blinked a few times and halted. He opened his eyes to see a blue-haired girl covered in blood. That day, he realised how many colors don't mix well; blue and red are special.

********

He aimed it at Robert. He wanted to end this fight with just one slash on the neck. He pulls the sword up sideways, getting ready to kill.

Aoshi appeared in front of Shido's sword and held it with her hand, and tried to give a punch. Shido held her hand and dragged her to push her to the side made out of rocks. Her head smashed on the rocks, causing her head to bleed.

Shido quickly tried to kill. Aoshi jumped from the side to knock Shido down. 

Her head was bleeding, and her vision started to get blurry.

Shido fell, Hidoi's sword flew away. He quickly held Aoshi's throat and threw her away. She fell away from Shido. Her left eye got hurt and started to bleed.

"Why? Why am I risking my life?" she thought while bleeding on the ground," Is it because I want to pay him back, for saving me?"

A FEW YEARS AGO

Robert was sitting in an empty alleyway, it was night, moody. He was covered with trash and was bleeding badly in his left hand.

He looked tired, beaten up by someone or something. 

There was a window above him. A wave of wind flew by him, causing the window to open.

He heard a scream. To check, he peeked through the window. What he saw changed him.

A girl with blue hair was on the ground. A person who was a lot older than her held a beer bottle, half broken, covered with blood. 

He said," Aoshi, you really asked me why I am drinking?" He then screamed at her while using his leg to kick Aoshi's stomach. Aoshi spat blood all over his bare foot. 

He felt disgusted; he wanted to puke at looking at her blood. He lifted her by her hair and pushed her back on the wall.

Aoshi was so exhausted that she couldn't even defend herself. He used his left hand to punch her face, not once, not twice, but thrice. The blood covered her beautiful, blue hair. 

" It was because of you," He yelled," Because of you, why your mother is not alive right now, you deserve to die. " He pulled his left arm back to punch her for the last time. He pushed his arm towards Aoshi's face, but he then felt something grab on him. 

Before he realized that he had been stabbed in his neck, the knife was removed immediately, causing a flood of blood to pump out of his body. He fell, leaving Aoshi. 

Robert, from behind, used his knife to pierce through Aoshi's father's head. Blood splattered everywhere, most of which landed on Robert.

Aoshi saw as Robert killed her only parent, if it was nothing. Robert was not stopping; he kept stabbing, his face showed hope that she couldn't see in years. 

He finally stopped; the knife was still inside Aoshi's father's brain. Brain fluid and blood were pumping out from the stabbed part.

Robert stood up, helped Aoshi to stand up, but her knees were shaking. He noticed and, in his violent young brain, decided to do something that she hadn't experienced in years.

He positioned his arms back," Hop on my back, I have enough energy to carry you." He said with the most beautiful smile Aoshi could see.

PRESENT

" Is that the reason why I am saving him with my life. It's not like my brain wants to, but my body is just moving." 

Shido, on the ground, felt a kick, which caused him to fly to the top of the slope on which Robert was sleeping. The force was enough to push Robert forward.

Shido looked down to see Hidoi sweating and taking deep breaths. He looked to see his goal(Robert).

He lifted his right hand, and a green-colored aura surrounded his arm and hand as they touched the ground, shaping a spear.

Hidoi fell to the ground as he heard a crackling sound." A fracture? In this moment?"

Shido, with his composure, placed his spear on the ground.

Aoshi was dragging herself to save Robert, using all of her strength.

Shido lifted his spear, pointing towards Robert. The green aura concentrated at the tip. 

Aoshi looked at the spear and wondered," Is this the moment for which he saved me from the torture? Is this why she saved my pathetic ass, to get him killed?" Adrenaline spiked, her blood boiled, her bones started to crack, yet she stood up, her legs covered in a blue aura.

Shido, with all his strength, threw the spear with a roar heard across the 3 realms. 

He blinked after throwing the spear. He was happy as he completed his objective, but then he opened his eyes to see Aoshi, covered in a blue aura, lifting her arm with her aura making a spinning spiral on her palm. They clashed with the force created by heaven and hell. 

Shido, from a distance, pulled his hand forward with a terrified look.

Aoshi screamed with all the rage of her trauma coming out. The spiral created in the clash exploded with a bright white light covering her eyes. She could only see the spear.

For the last time, she remembered Robert's smile, which she would never forget in heaven.

" Thank you, Robert. I love you, and I will be loving you forever!"
