《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 46: El Muerto
Advertisement
“Greetings Charro Negro, My name is El Muerto”
El Muerto says to Uriel as he opens a portal above him. He opens his palm and gathers mana creating a purple sphere. The Chupacabras come out of the portal.
“You are trash, and no longer useful be gone now you filth”
El Muerto releases the sphere at the Chupacabras.
(BOOOOOOMMMMM)
A pillar of purple and black colored energy disintegrates the Chupacabras instantly. Alejandro sees it with horror the actions and begins to cry feeling furious and screams:
“How could you? He might have been a beast, but you are the real monster!”
“You really are dumb, that filth was only a pawn of this game just like you and your girlfriend over there.”
Tiwa attacks El Muerto with rage but passes through him. El Muerto kicks Tiwa, sending her flying to the border of the building where he almost falls but hangs with one hand in the border.
“So weak, who's next”
El Muerto makes fun of her. At that moment Kasumi also tries to slash El Muerto but she passes through him as well. El Muerto grabs Kasumi´s legs and throws her straight at Uriel. Uriel sees Kasumi and catches her before she falls.
Both of them breathe heavily, Kasumi looks at Uriel:
“This guy is dangerous Uriel, plus I am out of energy and you?”
“Me too, I used it all against the monster” Uriel responds as he stands on one knee.
"So, Charro Negro or should I say Roberto's son...Show me your strength."
"How do you know that?"
"Simple, I am the one who killed him…"
(PPPUUUMMM)
Uriel with rage disappears from everyone's sight and appears in front of El Muerto. El Muerto takes out a sword and clashes with Uriel.Uriel continues to attack violently. Uriel attacks with force, El Muerto only defends.
"Shion, protect Alejandro…" Kasumi stands up.

"Right…" Shion stands next to Alejandro, Alejandro looks at Uriel thinking:
"This is not good, Uriel is blinded by rage…"
El Muerto pushes Uriel away, Uriel tries to charge but El Muerto escapes using a portal, he appears in the sky. El Muerto lifts his arm and says:
“Begone”
At that moment he releases a dark ball heading straight at Kasumi.
"SENPAI!!!" Shion screams as she looks with horror.
(BOOOOOOMMMMMM)
Kasumi opens her eyes and sees Uriel standing facing towards her and says:
“Are you alright?”
Uriel begins to throw up blood causing Kasumi to panic.
El Muerto claps slowly:
“Splendid, that same attack killed the Chupacabras instantly, yet, you are standing with only bruises.”
Kasumi removes her glasses, and in a blink of an eye she appears next to El Muerto.
(SSSLLLAASSHHHH)
Kasumi makes a cut on El Muerto’s arm. El Muerto jumps back as blood falls from his arm.
“It seems I let my guard down.”
“Indeed you did? Unfortunately I failed...but next time, I won’t…” Kasumi glares at El Muerto.
El Muerto chuckles:
“It seems I underestimated the Orange Pheasant of Yggdrasil”
El Muerto begins to disappear into a portal and says:
“We will meet again Charro Negro be ready”
Kasumi hugs Uriel who is breathing heavily; “Thank God you are live, I was so worry”
“Don´t worry about it.” Uriel replies exhausted as well.
"Senpai…" Shion hugs Kasumi.
"Uriel, are you alright…"Alejandro asks Uriel. Uriel looks at him and asks:
"Why are you worried? Not too long ago, I beat you up…"
Alejandro smiles and replies; " Well,it's because we are friends…"
Uriel chuckles and replies; " You are a fool…"
Uriel passes away.
“Uriel...what happened?” Alejandro looks worried. Shion looks at him and says with a relieved tone:
"It's okay...he lost consciousness because he was tired…"
"I see...that's good…" Alejandro smiles, Tiwa stares at him thinking:

"El Charro Negro sure is dangerous...I must watch my back…"
Alejandro walks towards Kasumi.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am fine…"
At that moment Kasumi´s esper suit disappears leaving her naked. Alejandro looks at her with shock:
“HOLY…”
“GGGYYYYAAAHHHHH, DON´T LOOK YOU PERVERT” Kasumi screams of embarrassment as she slaps Alejandro who only says:
"SOORRRRYYYYY.”
******************************************************************************
A portal opens, El Muerto comes out on an ally. He bleeds from his left arm:
“Damn it, I thought she was already out of the play...I guess I was too overconfident…”
The hooded girl runs to his side; “What happened to the''Ales ``?''
“Unfortunately, El Charro Negro killed the Chupacabras, when I arrived at the scene, it was too late…”
The girl falls into her knees crying; “It can’t be...why? Why did he kill him?”
El Muerto walks to her and pats her head; “I’m sorry, but that is just the way the Charro is…”
“But he is one of us? Why did he do that?”
“I don’t know but this demonstrates that we need to take action and get our revenge against those sinners…”
The girl stops crying and stands up, her eyes turn yellow as she says with anger; “Those sinners will pay…”
*****************************************************************************
“Where am I?” Marjorie regains consciousness, she lies on the floor with a blanket next to an ambulance. Victoria runs and hugs Marjorie; “Marjorie...you’re awake, thank goodness…”
Officer Rodriguez walks towards them; “I’m glad you’re okay...we were really lucky…”
“The last thing I remember...I was with…” Marjorie begins to look around searching for Alejandro; “Where is Alejandro?”
Victoria lowers her head; “Unfortunately, he ran off somewhere...we don’t know where he went…”
“I see...What about Aleister?”
“Marjorie…” Aleister walks forward, he has a wounded left arm that was treated by the paramedics. Marjorie runs to his side:
“ Aleister, what happened to your arm?”
“I fell down the stairs while I was running, but more importantly…” Aleister hugs Marjorie; “I am glad that you are safe...I called your father and Charles is on its way…”
Marjorie blushes and hugs him back; “I’m also relieved that you are safe…”
Victoria looks up and sees the building; “What was that? The building disappeared in an instant after that strange light hit it. Plus...what did Alejandro do?”
“Hey hija, the boy with blue and green eyes goes to your school?” Officer Rodriguez asks Victoria.
“Yeah, but I don’t know where he and the others went…”
“I understand…” Officer Rodriguez hugs his daughter as he thinks; “That boy...there is no mistake...he was the one who saved me the other night…”
At the base, Jairo stretches as he feels relaxed; “I can’t believe we actually pull it off…”
“I know...having those kids on our side really brought benefits.” Rosa puts her hand on his shoulder. Carlos and Chelsea also look at the screen:
“Damn it...I have to get stronger…”
Chelsea slaps his back; “ Don’t act so cliche...we will get stronger…”
This is Jairo reporting from the Borderland...Mission Completed…
In an office, Allan Carter along with a red haired woman look at the report. He smiles and says:
“Excellent...I knew they could pull it off…”
“Having El Charro Negro on our side will bring more benefits...don’t you agee?” The woman with red hair comments; Allan nods in agreement:
“You’re right...Yggdrasil isn’t permitted to have more agents in the country but having people outside of Yggdrasil helps us take advantage as we look for the other golden keys.”
Allan puts down the papers that have the name; The Legend of the Seven City of Gold

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.
