Chapter 27 - 27-Max's Despair

Ros then trembles.

Alisiya – Are you going to tell or not?

Ros then spits on Alisiya's leg.

Ros – I'll never tell, you damn thing.

Alisiya – Okay, then I'll kill you.

Alisiya then goes to stab Ros with the knife, but she misses and gets the knife stuck in the wall.

Ros – (Now's my chance.)

Ros then gets up, Ros pulls Alisiya by the hair and throws her to the ground.

Alisiya – Shit, I was careless.

Ros takes the knife off the wall.

Alisiya – Hey Ros, what are you going to do with that knife?

Ros – I'm going to kill a monster with it.

Alisiya – If you want, I can help you kill that monster, but put that knife down now.

Ros – The monster is you.

Ros then sticks the knife in Alisiya's heart. Alisiya starts to bleed.

Ros – You're not going to hurt Kairo.

Alisiya – You made the worst mistake of your life.

Alisiya starts laughing.

Alisiya – Hahahahaha!!!

Alisiya then closes her eyes. Ros then sees that her hands are covered in blood.

Ros – I won't regret seeing this blood on my hands, because I killed this monstrosity that wanted to torment Kairo.

The next day in Seseferin. Max is with his family. They are having breakfast.

Max's father – So you fought with your girlfriend?

Max's mother – I'm sure that one day you will get back together.

Max – Stop talking nonsense. What do you think, little sister?

Celica – I wanted to talk to your girlfriend so that we can get you two together.

Max – Even you.

Max's father – Do you want to help me harvest corn like we used to?

Max – That's right.

Kupi – Will I be alone?

Max's mother – You can help us with the bread.

Kupi – Can I really?

Max's mother – Yes.

Kupi – Kupi loves Max's family, Max's family takes great care of Kupi.

Max's father – You helped our son when he needed it, so you're our friend too.

Kupi – But I'm a dragon.

Celica – It doesn't matter, you being Max's friend is also our friend.

Kupi gets emotional when he hears that.

Kupi – Thanks guys.

Max – Be careful not to be seen.

Kupi – Okay.

Max – Let's go, Dad.

Max and his father are going to harvest the corn.

Max – How are things going here?

Max's father – Are they okay?

Max – You seem like you want to tell me something.

Max's father – Are you sure you made the right decision by abandoning your journey as an adventurer and deciding to be someone on the farm again?

Max – Yes.

Max's father – Don't lie to yourself.

Max – I think we better harvest the corn quickly.

Max's father – why?

Max – If we take too long, mom will get mad at us.

Max's father – that's right, let's go back soon.

Max and his father then pick up the corn crop and decide to go back, but halfway there Max stops. Max is looking at the sky.

Max – (the sky is red.)

Max's father – why did Max stop?

Max – dad, can I ask you something?

Max's father – you can, but what is it?

Max – run home and get everyone from there, and also tell everyone to leave Seseferin.

Max's father – what do you mean?

Max – just do that.

Max's father – that's right.

Max – (the sky is very red, that means there's a lot of smoke near here. Did someone discover Kupi and he got scared and set everything on fire?)

Max then hears a female voice saying that she knew what happened. He looks back and asks the girl's name. The girl says her name is Alisiya.

Max – So Alisiya, what's going on?

Alisiya – It was the demons.

Max – The demons?

Alisiya – Yes.

Max starts to get irritated.

Max – (I bet this was Shana's idea, she got mad and wanted to do this, you damn thing, you didn't want peace.)

Max – I'm going to go and save everyone.

Alisiya – I can't believe this.

Max – What?

Alisiya – So you're really going?

Max – Yes, because my family and friends need help.

Alisiya – You don't have the strength to save everyone from the demons.

Max – I know, but I'd rather die trying.

Alisiya – I understand, so take this.

Alisiya throws a vial to Max.

Max – What is this?

Alisiya – a vial that contains a parasite that increases your power, but makes you lose your human genetics, unfortunately I don't have the courage to use it.

Max – but do I still have my right mind?

Alisiya – yes.

Max – appearance doesn't matter, the important thing is to be in good conscience.

Max then smiles.

Max – thank you.

Max then runs back to his family. Alisiya gives a dark smile.

Alisiya – (you fell right into my plan.)

Max arrives near the city center and sees the city all destroyed.

Max – (I need to go to the farmers' part.)

Max then runs, but he is pulled by a dragon that takes them out of the city, the dragon was Kupi.

Max – Kupi, don't tell me someone bothered you and you did this?

Celica – it wasn't him.

Max – little sister.

Max hugs his sister.

Max – Kupi, I'm sorry for doubting you.

Kupi – No problem, I would think the same in your case.

Max – What about mom and dad?

Celica – They were killed.

Max – (I think I'll need to do this.)

Max grabs the vial and swallows the parasite. Max then turns into a huge monster.

Kupi and Celica – Max!!!

Max – (What's happening? I can't control all this power.)

Max – Sister... Kupi... please... run away...

Kupi – Hold on tight.

Max – Kill... everyone... who... is... in... front of... me.

Celica – Brother, what happened to...

Max punches Celica in the head, making her head fly away.
