Chapter 14 - Memory

When crossing the gate, Izochi realized he had missed something; it was his weapon. Which was broken in the mission of Raygin.

It is unknown to him how he broke or lost it. But it is sure he doesn't have the sword anymore. So, he again returned to the club.

"Ms. Angela, I guess I need a sword first."

Angela turned back. She replied with a smile,

"I guess you should come at night. Because wielding a sword in daylight will scare people."

He understood the situation, so he didn't make any other comment. Just left the place.

But when he was walking in the crowd of the city, his heart suddenly pounded hard. But he ignored it, as if he didn't feel it.

At afternoon, Izochi returned to the club with his outfit. This time, he was looking like an Exorcist. But didn't have any weapon at all.

Angela was already waiting on the floor, as they were expected to meet.

"Let's get you a weapon. Which kind would you prefer?"

She asked playfully, taking Izochi to the weapon vault.

"I like a sword."

He answered.

"A sword is mid-ranged, suitable to use in any way, and also usable in defense."

Angela had no reply to all these benefits featured to her. So, she kept silent.

The weapon vault was stored with a lot of Purified Weapons: swords, shotguns, and a number of snipers. Izochi at first wondered to see that much number of weapons. But his decision didn't change. He still chose a longsword.

The sword was a little eye-catching. With its brilliant red theme, it already made an impression in Izochi. So, he picked it up.

"I guess I will take this. I like its design."

Angela offered a little smile.

The air grew so heavy for him to breathe. His body was bleeding, and every part of his body was aching. But he was still smiling, an evil smile, a smile of fun.

"I will send you to hell."

Izochi announced confidently, with a crazy battle spirit and killing intent.

He pulled his sword and pulled it out of its metal scabbard. Grabbed it with two hands and positioned it on his left, ready for an attack.

He dashed, but the floor suddenly looked like it was spreading. The distance between him and his enemy started to increase rapidly. But Izochi started to surpass the speed at which the floor was moving.

He started to get closer, but suddenly, he felt something abnormal with him. Something was not right, not right. Izochi's body suddenly started to feel weightless, and he started to float in the air. Like the gravity inside the building was removed.

But Izochi succeeded in getting himself in balance. He stabbed his sword into the floor, and with that, he was maintaining his body a little.

He couldn't stay in balance for long. The floor and walls started to tear apart.

Suddenly, Izochi felt a large Energy output.

It was a blast. The blast was so heavy that the entire six-floored building was destroyed in an instant, and it turned into dust.

For the first time, the enemy Izochi was facing got itself to reveal its true look. From its appearance, it could be said a Fallen.

It was a lot darker in look. But its body shape suggested it was once a human. And it spoke its first words to Izochi,

"Didn't you want to send me to hell?"

Though he couldn't see him.

Izochi once again stood up, putting the big, broken piece of building aside. He was holding the sword with his left hand.

The boy was barely standing, but his madness got ever crazier.

"I said I will."

Total madness.

Izochi rushed at the Fallen. He was moving at the speed of sound, no, maybe more than that.

But the entity also didn't stand still, he rushed.

Their sword and claws touched each other, both of them were giving their force. But Izochi couldn't apply much pressure with his broken body.

So, he sided right and loosened his grip slowly. The sword started to get down. Suddenly, Izochi rotated his sword and slashed. It almost tore the target in half. But it didn't fall. It was still standing.

Then, it screamed. His body was slowly rejoining.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

The sound was so heavy that it almost made Izochi deaf. But because of something unknown, he didn't.

Something different was there. Izochi, for the first time in a while, felt Fear. His eyes widened. He was already sweating, so it couldn't be said clearly if he was sweating because of fear.

The Fallen has now equipped a look that can be called truly Terrifying. He had got several tentacles on his back, and a massive increase in his size. But in that immense darkness, his smile was visible.

"Come forward."

And Izochi did so despite the fear in him; he charged with fun.

Izochi quickly jumped into the air. And was about to swing it, but the Fallen also attacked with its tentacles.

To its surprise, Izochi vanished. Yes, he did.

Izochi suddenly got on its back. And swung his sword two times, one horizontally and one vertically. The Fallen also responded. It attacked with its tentacles. Izochi successfully blocked and cut a lot of them. But few were able to hurt him.

Izochi stepped back. Deeply breathing in and out. It was a technique to boost his stamina and restore blood flow. As well as his brain and heart. He might be thinking about how to defeat his opponent. But since Izochi was restoring the blood flow, his bleeding also increased.

His body was now hurting from inside, still a smile appeared on his face.

"I said you will die, that means you will die."

Note:

3. Being a 'Fallen' means dying, losing control over the physical body, and a part of the soul getting trapped inside the body.

4. 'Fallen' body is merged with Spirit and Engima's. And those Spirit or Engima controls that 'Fallen' body.
