Chapter 9: The Catastrophe of the Former Warriors
'Don't be afraid of us, Ary.'
The handsome boy with blue eyes calmed Ary while showing a gentle smile to him.
'We were just like you, Ary. We were the Warriors, with the sole purpose of protecting our world.'
The beautiful girl with green eyes mentioned, still showing a delightful smile toward Ary to comfort him.
Meanwhile, Ary was stunned with an open-mouthed expression.
He was startled at the miraculous event that happened in front of him.
"Hmm? Try to mock me, huh?"
After witnessing Ary's neglecting Wolfra, Lord Wolfra thought that Ary was mocking him, so he opened his mouth and the fire began to collect in his jaws, forming a fierce ball of fire.
"Ah!"
Ary responded as he felt the heat from his front.
He tried to defend himself but he had no choice left since if he swung his blade, he might fail to stand.
'Damn…'
Ary cursed while shivering in pain.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a sound of hope was made from his right arm, from Almita, as the book reported,
<A weakness of the Demon Lord was found.>
"W-What…?"
In a slightly wobbly voice, Ary asked.
<His neck is his weak point. If the host managed to decapitate him, then the success would be yours.>
"Decapitate him…"
Ary mumbled but suddenly,
"Die, Inochi!!!!!!"
The fire beam flashed at Ary at breakneck speed.
"Ah?!"
Ary seemed to panic as he saw the fierce ball of energy in the jaws of Lord Wolfra. That was more lethal than the fireball in the jaws of the Scarlet Nightmares.
'Don't panic, Ary.'
"Hmm?"
Ary halted as he heard the voice of that boy from behind, instructing him not to panic in a situation like this.
'Calm down. Getting panicked doesn't make sense. Close your eyes and focus your energy on your blade. Don't fear, because fear doesn't solve any problem.'
The girl suggested.
Their voices were serene and gentle.
They had a little more knowledge than Ary because they were late warriors. So, Ary followed their instructions and closed his eyes while holding his blade tightly.
'Focus on your energy, Ary. Let it awaken.'
The boy instructed.
'Awaken your energy and put your blade ablaze.'
The girl mentioned.
"Hah..."
Ary took a long breath and focused on his blade. It wasn't easy.
The fire beam appeared just in front of him and suddenly,
Slash!
Ary opened his eyes and with a single swing of his blade, the beam was sliced into two and exploded, and white fog appeared around him.
"Wha-?!"
Lord Wolfra reacted, flabbergasted while opening his mouth after noticing that Ary managed to defend himself.
done.me
"How could he?!"
Lord Wolfra uttered while stepping back a little.
And since a new action was done and the reaction was fascinating, Almita rang again, reporting,
"Ding!"
<Unlock Skill:- Swift speed>
"That's good."
Ary commented with a smug smile since he thought that he would definitely win. However,
'Don't get overjoyed just yet, Ary. He hasn't used his full power yet.'
The boy claimed.
"I know…"
Ary replied, and stood on alert, adding:
"And this is why, I'm going to end it soon!"
Then, while using his swift speed ability, he flashed at Lord Wolfra, roaring,
"Haaaaaaa!!"
Because of Swift's speed, normal air felt like a storm to him when he ran.
"You're so stubborn, human!!"
Lord Wolfra screamed as he assaulted Ary with his right claw.
"Dark Scar of Death!!"
Ary screamed as he sliced the remaining nails from the right claw of Lord Wolfra.
Due to that attack, even the two fingers of Lord Wolfra's claw had been cut off. However, the nails that had been cut off gave a scratch on the right optical area of Ary's eye.
"Ngh?!"
Ary clenched his teeth.
"Curse you!!!"
While after getting injured in the right hand, Lord Wolfra raved, but he didn't hold back. He attacked Ary with his left claw, and instead of dodging that attack, Ary used his blade and yelled,
"Dark Scar of—?!"
Clink!!
"What?!"
Unfortunately, Lord Wolfra clasped Ary's blade with his left palm, commenting,
"How brave of you, you worthless human!"
"WAKH?!"
However, before Ary could even react, Lord Wolfra kicked at Ary's chest, and due to the pressure of the punch, Ary flew backward and was hit by the lower part of the volcano again.
Luckily, Lord Wolfra released Ary's cutter blade of death while kicking him, and so, Ary still had his blade in his right hand.
'Ary, don't act impulsively. You need to calm down.'
The girl requested since she noticed that Ary didn't focus on his energy thoroughly.
"I'm trying, but it isn't that easy."
Ary complained while furrowing his eyebrows.
'You have to do it. You're our last hope, Ary.'
The boy requested in a slightly sorrowful voice.
And then, unexpectedly, the fog around him started to become denser and a glimpse of the world was seen in front of Ary's eyes.

"Mother, you know? we have become the Warrior Race."
The same blue-eyed boy said to a lady who appeared to be in her late 40s.
"Yes, mother. From now onward, the protection of the world is up to us."
The same green-eyed girl bragged with a delighted smile on her face.
"Oh, dear. Did you two start some kind of play or something? Well, you two have my wishes."
Their mother didn't understand what they were talking about, but as a mother, she blessed them, thinking that they were doing some kind of drama show in their school.
"Thank you, mother."
The boy thanked his mother and got up from his dining chair and went toward the door, saying,
"We have to go now, mother. Let's go, Jinne."
"Yes, Jack."
The girl replied as she got up from her chair and walked away, saying,
"We'll be back at noon, mother."
After hearing this, their mother smiled and replied,
"Okay, I'll make your favourite food tonight. Don't forget to come home as soon as you complete your work."
The poor lady didn't understand that her children might never return to her.
"Okay."
Both of them replied, then got out of the home and placed their right palm over their chest, and with a "swish" sound, they teleported to the Heavenly Realm.
"So, you two have finally arrived."
As he saw them arrive there, Galiriothoxmus, who had stepped toward them, stated,
"Yes, now we have to go and beat that Demon Lord of the Scarlet Realm, right?"
Jack asked in a friendly way.
"Ah, yeah. But are you two sure? The Demon Lord isn't a child's play. Think thoroughly."
Galiriothoxmus showed his reluctance.
"No, we are already Rank A now. Don't fret much. We'll be fine."
Jinne replied in a delightful voice since they were both confident in their ability.
"Hah...fine. But please, don't die."
With a reluctant voice, Galiriothoxmus requested.
"Worry not."
They replied then, with the snap of their fingers, they both teleported to the Scarlet Realm.
'We didn't know that our overconfidence would be the reason behind our death.'
Jack's voice was heard in Ary's head while he was watching their past, and suddenly the scene in front of him changed.
"Jinne, run!!!"
Jack yelled while he was laying on the ground. His body had been paralyzed by the claw attack of Lord Wolfra.
"But Jack!"
Jinne reacted.
She didn't want to leave her brother in a deadly situation like this, unfortunately, in the next moment,
Datch!
"...?!"
Jack's eyes dilated in terror as he saw a claw coming out of Jinne's belly.
"Sleep nicely, dear. Hehehehe."
Lord Wolfra, who was standing behind her, smirked as he yanked back his claw.
"Jinne!!!!!"
Jack yelled after seeing her sister, Jinne, fall on the ground motionlessly.
Her sparkling eyes turned into empty eyes, and she had already died from that attack.
"Let me send you to your sister."
Lord Wolfra snickered as he stepped toward Jack.
"Hmm?!"
Jack responded in panic, and the next moment, Lord Wolfra opened his jaws and a fireball appeared on his jaw.
"Farewell."
He called out, and in the next moment,
"GRRRRAAAAAA!!"
He yelled as he fired the fire beam at Jack.
"No... wait..."
Jack fretted as his face turned pale. However, he was paralyzed.
And in the next moment,
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A massive explosion occurred, and Warrior Jack perished at the hands of Lord Wolfra.
