Chapter 21: Despair
Chapter 21: Despair
After a few minutes of running, Kraftvoll finally reached Schild City. But when he saw the whole scene, he was extremely terrified. The houses were burning. Corpses can be seen everywhere. People were panicking as they try to escape the attackers to save their lives. Soldiers desperately trying to defend the city, even though, they were extremely outnumbered.
These sights were terrifying for the child's eyes. Kraftvoll paused for a moment after seeing these horrifying sights. Even though, his mentality was comparable to those of adults', he was still a nine-year-old kid!
After a few moments, Kraftvoll regained a little bit of his composure. His worries for her parents and Ouryuu were greater in comparison to the fear he had felt after witnessing that gruesome scenes.
Kraftvoll ran like there was no tomorrow. The last time he ran like this was when he and Bell were running for their lives from the bandits. 'Please be okay. Please be okay.' he continuously thought to himself.
Before reaching the vicinity of his house, he heard a vicious voice. "What a bother! The target's not here! I better go searching for that human brat or else I can't keep my head intact." The soldiers continued his search somewhere as he said this. When Kraftvoll heard this voice, he felt a chill down his spine because this was not the sound of a person from the human race.
Kraftvoll ran to the direction of his house. He saw the destruction caused by the person who just went away. Near his house, he saw Ouryuu and Azari wounded. These two dragons tried to retaliate against the attackers but failed to do so. "Ouryuu! Azari! Are you two okay!?" Kraftvoll frantically shouted.
The two wounded dragons were overjoyed after seeing Kraftvoll. They came excitedly to him despite their injuries. "Ouryuu, where's father and mother?" Kraftvoll worriedly asked.
Ouryuu turned to look at Kraftvoll's house. Kraftvoll also looked in response. He was extremely terrified of what he had seen. His house was destroyed by giant earth spikes. "No! No! Please no!" shouted Kraftvoll while hurriedly running toward his house. 'God, please! Let my parents be safe!' Kraftvoll constantly thought to himself.
But what he had seen afterward completely turned his world around. His father was stabbed by an earth spike while hugging his mother. Adam already passed away because of his excessive injury, while Adelina was panting trying to catch her breath but she was already near at the death's door.
She was also stabbed by the earth spike like her husband, Adam, but she was able to live until now because her wound was not as severe as her husband's. "MOTHER!! FATHER!!" Kraftvoll shouted miserably as he ran toward them desperately.
After Adelina saw Kraftvoll, she smiled and said, "Dear, I'm glad that you are safe!"
"MOTHER!! I WILL BRING YOU AND FATHER TO A HEALER!" Kraftvoll shouted in desperation.
"We are beyond saving, dear. You must flee now! Go! If something bad happens to you now, your father and I will not be able to forgive ourselves! Flee now!" Adelina desperately said while she was panting due to her excessive wound.
"Mother, no! I'm not going without you two! I won't forgive myself if I left you two here!" Kraftvoll said while he was hopelessly crying his eyes out.
"Live your life to the fullest! Work hard to achieve all your goals. Remember that your father and I love you so much. Goo..." Adelina drew her last breath before even finishing her last words.
"MOTHER!!! FATHER!!!" Kraftvoll shouted in despair.
'What a pity.' Stark thought to himself while he was watching the despair in Kraftvoll's eyes.
Earlier, while Kraftvoll was talking to his dying mother, Stark came when he was looking for Kraftvoll. When he saw Kraftvoll's current situation the moment he came in, he decided to stay in the sidelines so that he can let them have their last time together.
After Kraftvoll's mother passed away, Stark started to do his current mission which was to bring Kraftvoll to the king of Walkiria Kingdom.
"Kid! There's no time to waste! Let's go now!" Stark shouted.
