Another short chapter... another Mizael chapter... I'm starting to think that I'm truly evil and that I enjoy 'torturing' my readers! But no matter, the plot must go on... eh xD
The New Frontiers
Mizael could feel the tentacles wrap themselves around his torso, but he didn't dare utter a sound.
The thing that was holding him - one of the Numbers which had been trouble for Alcor, wasn't it? - had him for all sense and purposes cornered... and slammed against a wall as it cackled evilly into his ear before pulling away.
"You feel the same despair I felt...!"
The blonde the punishment for not listening by now but he risked it all the same. If it could give the others time to deal with Vector... he would do it again, gladly. Even if it meant being subjected to taunting, words spat out to pierce his fragile heart.
'Durbe doesn't need you anymore... Nasch is back... you aren't his friend anymore...'
He knew those were all lies. Because even after the trio's return, Durbe had behaved normally. He had simply gone back to bantering with Alcor, swords fighting with Nasch and book discussions with Merag but, aside from those trivial, everyday things, everything was the same. The bond - the friendship - they all shared remained the same. Mizael would not let some delusional Numbers destroy that!
"I will not lose to you!"
The words, coupled with his spit, in the Numbers face caused it to recoil in anger, hitting him hard with one of his tentacles as he began to hiss about how 'lowly humans should not be touching his skin with their disgusting fluids'. Taken aback, Mizael realized how happy he was that Alcor had gotten him out of that way of thinking... humans weren't as horrible as the blonde had thought (after some time, Alcor's greenhaired friend Kotori had become friendly with them, Alito persuing her again with Alcor's blessings but currently still in the friendzone...). While he was thinking, the Numbers roared and moved to hit him again.
"How dare you...!"
"I would stop if I were you, Numbers 96." a cold voice said. Mizael looked up with blood-covered, blurry eyes at a sky blue form floating in the air. Astral... but ... how...?
- line break -
Meanwhile in another part of the castle, Alito and Gilag had managed to escape.
They were all alone thanks to Black Mist having dragged Mizael away and, as they advanced back to the trashed throne room, the possessed look in their eyes only grow stronger. But they had to stop, for an unexpected figure stood in their way.
"I will stop you here!"
I love cliffies when I do them! Will Astral save Mizael from Black Mist? Why is he even there when he is supposed to be with Chaos Zexal and the others? Who is the person who stopped Alito and Gilag?
You can guess or you can keep reading! The fun has just started! :)
