《Free》Chapter 22: And So Begins Our Attack! Part II
Advertisement
I quickly attacked behind me, but Akira blocked quickly.
"Hey now, don't go into trouble this fast!" he said.
He jumped back, but not too far away.
"First you chop off my friends head, and now you want to kill me?" he said.
I pointed my sword at him.
"What do you want from me" I asked.
His face became more serious but his smile grew larger and larger.
I slowly walked back, but suddenly I walked on something round.
I looked down, it was the head of the bandit I killed.
His eyes for some reason was still open, and blood was everywhere.
My shoes had blood on them from him and his friend.
I looked at Akira, he was still standing at the same spot.
I kicked the head towards him, blood was flying everywhere.
"I don't want this, take it!" I shouted.
He cut the head in half, both sides went past him.
"I don't want the shithead either!" he said.
Suddenly he jumped forward.
I jumped up and threw my sword to the ground.
I hit his arm but he quickly dodged it, I only got a scratch on him.
I landed and took my sword.
I looked around but I couldn't see him anywhere, that damn Akira!
"I think, it's finally time to use this garbage" I said.
I opened up my left eye.
Finally, I could see clearly, with all of my 7 pupils activated now, he's finished!
Every movement, every wall, every though, I can see through it!
I can feel it, I can see it, I can think it.
His next movement, his next thought, his feels.
I jumped backwards towards the house, you're finished!
I haven't used them, in so long!
I can finally feel my true self, I can finally show Akira what I really am, I can finally..

..Kill him!
"OKAY!!" he shouted.
I stopped.
He was.. sweating.
He slowly walked, showing himself.
I closed my eye, slowly my vision drifted off to my normal vision.
"KEN!! We don't have to do this" Akira said.
"Ken.." I mumbled to myself.
For the first time, in several of years, someone has called me by my real name.
"You.." I said quietly.
Suddenly!
He went forwards and attacked with a small knife.
"GAHAHAH!! YOU THINK WE'LL LET THIS END WITHOUT MORE DEAD BODIES?!" he laughed and shouted.
"No.. I didn't think that" I said.
His eyes, they were frightened.
"WHAT?!" he screamed.
He looked down, at the knife.
I had covered my stomach, with both of my hands and holding the blade.
I kicked, with my knee, I hit him.
He still held in his knife, I kept lifting up my knee.
Suddenly, he jumped back.
No blood, nothing.
He left his knife with me while he was breathing, normally.
"I'll tell ya what I am doing" he said.
I took out the knife which was in my hand palm, it hurt only a bit.
He took out something, from his pocket.
"Him, I want him, but he wants you, hehehe" he said while pointing on a wanted poster.
There is no name, only a picture.
"Me, you say? " I asked.
"Yes, he walked out with Tommy too!" he said.
"Hmph, no worries, I have a spy hidden within them, he's payed to kill them, he must have kept Tommy for last" I said.
He was silent.
"Wait, you saw him?" I asked.
"Yes, and I'll help you by saying, he will attend something special to you, be ready" he said and started walking off.
I threw his knife on his leg.
"GAARGH!!" he screamed.

"How can I trust that you won't be there either?" I asked.
He looked back at me, with a smile.
"Because I say so, you trust me, right Ken?" he said.
I snapped my fingers.
Slowly, a big person crawling on all fours towards me.
I hopped on him, he didn't say anything.
"This is my new slave! This fat pig only ate all day, time to put this chair to use!" I said.
"Hmph, hope you sort things out" Akira said.
"HEY! Even if you say so, are you even a man that keeps his words?!" I shouted.
He kept giggling.
"No, I don't, now I hope you have a good time with your slave Ken!" he shouted and jumped away.
That bastard.
I hit the slave, on the back of his head.
"Crawl faster, or I'll kill you!" I screamed.
Suddenly he went really fast.
Me? I'm wanted? This will be fun.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
