Kiri followed his buddy and Takashi as they went towards the cavern. The boy couldn't help, but glance back. His best friend was busy fighting Davide. He had no fond memories of that boy and only really disliked him. Davide was like a villain, slowly taking shapes. And from what he heard in one reply, might not care for his parents at all.

"That Davide is the opposite of Gao," Takashi commented as he accelerated his pace. He was worried for his son, but knew how well Drum could fight.

"Agreed. During the time I was in Kyoya mansion, he never showed any good deeds. He is someone who enjoy causing chaos. Kyoya wasn't found of that boy either, but he needed as much help as possible. The difference is that Kyoya suffered a lot to follow Azi Dahaka plan, seeing it as the best option. Davide however, it was simply because of the destruction he might cause. It's leaving me cold on the inside, in a bad way," Joker concluded.

They stopped when they reached the cavern. It was lightly illuminating inside and something mysterious was hidden in there.

"What is that?" Kiri asked.

"The cavern where you sealed your memories long ago Kiri. Before you decided to become a human, you hid your power there, trying to understand the mysteries of this world. The reason you came here last year was because… you knew the time was coming to an end."

The boy remembered a few things about the first time they went in the boarding house. The reaction of his buddy was concerning, even more now that Joker just told him why they went there, if he was right.

Last Year

Kiri and Joker went out of the train. They climbed down and walked to their new home.

"I hope you aren't nervous Kiri. It's not in a big city. We won't have any big criminals after us this time," the monster chuckled.

"It was never the case," the boy replied.

"I made them freeze in fear, before they tried anything Kiri. Don't worry, I am here to protect you from any harm," he chuckled.

They walked in the woods for a while. The boy gazed at his buddy who began to show some signs on nervousness, as if he recalled something. His blue tails bounced on the ground a few times, he played with his blades and looked around carefully, as if something dangerous would jump out.

Eventually, the ice monster gasped, "Here?"

"W-what is it Joker?" Kiri asked.

Joker grumbled many incomprehensible things as he did some silly move, as if he was dancing. He jumped left and right, made many complicated poses as if he was a Jojo character and the moonwalk for some reason, "N-nothing Kiri. Just thought it looked familiar, like in my world."

"O-ok," the boy suspiciously replied.

However, his buddy managed to act as if it was of non-importance and never did anything like that again.

Present Time

His buddy brought him back to reality, "So we have to go in there and claim back your memories," his crimson eyes went to the boy, "Are you ready?"

"I'll be here to support you as well," Takashi said.

The boy looked forward and nodded, "Yes," be like Gao. Be like Gao! He went into the cavern first, followed by his buddy and Takashi.

Episode 36: The Awakening Of Miseria Part 2

Meglax frowned when he saw the card. He wondered if the monster was the one. His muscles tensed as he let out a low hiss.

"Looks like we hit the right spot somehow," Deathgaze chuckled as he put his claws over his face.

Davide also chuckled as he said, "Maybe we should summon him now? Hum…" he saw the green dragon really wanted to challenge the demon, "Naw. Let's kill Drum first."

His buddy took his real form. He charged forward towards the new Omni Lord and smashed with his tail.

The red dragon dodged it quickly and rolled on the left. He blocked the sharp part of the tail with his large katana.

The two dragons struggled as their weapons collided.

Meglax grunted and said, "Summon that demon now human."

"Naw. I like this little look of agony on your face. I rather made you tense a little more. Much easier to beat you next," he chuckled.

That stopped when Deathgaze was sent against a few trees by the Omni Lord punch.

"As an old saying I heard once. Falcon Punch!" Drum grinned.

Deathgaze flew back up and quietly grunted, "He is much stronger than before," he could see their difference being much larger than expected, is this the power of the Omni Lord, or just Drum himself? He hated feeling weaker than his enemy and planned revenge.

The red dragon charged and slowly pushed the darkness dragon backward, "You didn't change Deathgaze, but I did. I'll never be weak anymore," he pushed the defense of his enemy away and kicked the monster in the stomach, sending him in the air. He flew in the air and joined the other monster.

Davide frowned as he took out his spellcard. He casted a spell that was immediately blocked by Gao.

"We have been dealing with demons for a while Davide. They are stronger than your buddy. This time, we will arrest you for attempted murder," the boy took out his Buddy Police Force badge.

The other one grunted as he took a few steps back. He reconsidered annoying the green dragon. He should summon the demon now, if the other one charged, it's already over, he thought.

Shido, Sofia and Gratos went deeper in the woods. They were searching for the source of the unstable energy. The trio continued deeper.

The two humans yelped when they lost their balance as an earthquake suddenly started. They were on their knees and covered their head as they had been trained in school.

The darkness dragon was unfazed as he floated in the air. Still, he went above the two humans and ready to destroy any branches coming down at them. There was one falling on his buddy and he broke it in pieces with his claws.

Once it calmed down. The two stood up and panted.

"I hate when it happens. There is always a chance of a tidal wave," Shido complained.

"This one is different. I can feel it. We might be getting closer to whatever is causing this," she took the lead.

"Maybe it's an Omni Lord. Sha. Sha," the dragon suggested.

"There is a chance."

"It might be good for us if it is an Omni Lord. If it is, what do we do?" Shido asked.

"We do nothing else. We have nothing to attack him and if it's their strongest, we have no chance anyway," Sofia replied.

"We should just confirm who he is," Gratos concluded for them as he went forward.

The humans followed him and accelerated their pacing, wondering what they would find. They had a hint of fear that whatever it was, it might attack them on sight.

The inside of the cavern looked as ordinary as expected. Kiri was behind his buddy as he observed his surrounding. He wasn't sure what to expect, but an ordinary cavern with nothing standing out wasn't what he had in his mind.

Joker lightly chuckled as he said, "It is deeper in the cavern. Almost no one ever went in its deepest part."

"Good to know," Takashi replied as he remained by the side of the monster.

They continued until they reached the deepest part of the cavern. The group stopped and gazed at the end of the cavern. They could see some traces of light. The trio approached it and they stopped when darkness was washed away by the light.

"W-what is that?" the boy nervously asked his buddy.

"This is the form of your sealed memories. If it is shining like that, it means that it would soon come back to you buddy," the monster made of ice turned his head toward his buddy and his red eyes lightly paled for a second, "Buddy. Do not be afraid. I am here with you."

"I'm… I won't," Kiri gulped.

"You are not alone Kiri. My son and Drum are fighting to make sure nothing happen to you. They will come out of whatever that boy had in his mind," Gao's father said. He let out a small, but reassuring smile.

"You're right," the boy said. He wanted to take the first step, but his feet didn't move.

"If you don't go to it, it would eventually come for you buddy… Kiri, I'll get in the light with you. I will guide you through your memories," Joker kindly said, "They are so many wonderful things you experience on Earth, sealed away with Miseria memories. You lived many lives as human and there is one thing that will surprise you. He never left you alone forever," he added.

"He?" the boy didn't understand it, but he felt a little bit of the light touching him somehow. Once it happened, a flash of someone came in his head. That was enough to convince the boy to take the first step.

"Good luck you two," Takashi said.

Joker went behind him and pushed him, "We might need your words too Takashi."

"Sure," he didn't want to get into the privacy of those memories, but Kiri gazed at him. He needed more than just his buddy. Someone to witness everything. Someone to remind him that he was Kiri, "I won't let you alone."

The ice monster stood just in front of the light, "Whatever something is scaring you. Whatever the memories showed you Kiri. I will chase the fear from you. Many of those memories, I've witnessed them. First… Fully remember be," he put his blade on his chest.

The three went into the light, the memories of Miseria and the many lives of Kiri as a human through history.

Davide had enough and he decided to summon the demon to defeat them. He would not accept defeat. The boy raised his card and grunted, "You asked for it Gao!"

The boy summoned the demon. The silhouette was quickly recognised by the green dragon who grabbed his arrow. Hr frowned and was ready to fight he monster.

The demon was a black dragon wearing a red armor. It had a pair of green eyes in his black face, a black pair of horns came out of it. He had a long black tail hitting the ground. He held in his hand a long scythe and a sword don his back.

"Ogre Size Dragon!" Meglax grunted.

The buddy of Davide felt on the ground and panted. He tried to stand up. The battle exhausted him, "He's too strong," it made him sick to even admit that.

Drum landed on the ground and pointed his long sword at the other monster, "Looks like I finished him just in time."

Meglax took one step forward and said, "Drum Bunker Dragon. This dragon is mine."

The red dragon gazed at the other one, eyes shining on them. He did not like it as he focused on the Cavalry Knight, "You're sure?"

"Yes," a bit of venom was in his voice, "Drum Bunker Dragon. Respect my will. I will defeat this demon. However, I want you to convince the other Omni Lords to give judgement for this demon. Ogre Size Dragon murdered my family Drum. I will be the one who stop him, but… Tenbu told me to bring justice to my family. Killing him won't be enough."

"Fine Meglax. However, if you are in danger, I will stop you," the red dragon warned him.

"And if I am losing myself, stop me. I'll consider accepting you as my Omni Lord," the green dragon gazed at the red one. He got a nod and the dragon marched forward, "Hey! Ogre Size Dragon!" the green eyes focused on his face, "Remember me?"

The demon snickered as he crossed his arms. He took a step forward and replied, "Yes. The stupid dragon who thought he could get me on his own. I thought you would have died in that puddle of yours," his tail bounced with excitement at those sweet memories of his. He played with his weapons, "Sad you survived. The good news is that I can hurt you and torture you again. Will you lose your mind once again? The rage of yours was so delicious to destroy."

Drum and Gao thought it did not make sense and that the monster was a horrible living being.

Deathgaze bowed down, "I am so far from his level," he claimed with shame. He managed to fly back in the air, "I'm rea-"

"I don't need a dead weight who cannot do a scratch on an Omni Lord," Ogre said as he turned his faze at the darkness dragon, "You are just a waste of Yamigedo's time and my time," he turned his shining eyes at his adversary, "Come and fight with us Omni Lord."

Drum chuckled as he put his sword in the ground and crossed his arms, "It seems I don't need too. Meglax will defeat you."

The Cavalry Knight nodded as he grabbed an arrow and aimed at the demon, "It won't be the same. Be warned Ogre Size Dragon."

The evil dragon laughed loudly as he charged at the green dragon.

Meglax dodged the blade coming at him and jumped on a tree. When he was in the air, he grabbed his arrow and aimed at the face of the dark demon and fired. He missed his target and quickly fired another one, forcing the enemy to block instead of engaging against him.

The battle began and the two dragons were going all out.

Drum and his buddy watched it, "Gao. Make sure that Davide doesn't do anything. Because he will."

"I know buddy."

Kiri opened his eyes as he saw many bubbles containing some strange light inside of it. The boy wasn't sure what they were. He felt alone and isolated, until he felt the cold arm of his buddy.

"We are here with you Kiri," Joker told him.

"Don't forget about it," Takashi added.

The boy smiled and called his courage. He somehow knew what he had to do. He grabbed the first bubble and closed his eyes. Something came to him, "W-what is that?" He opened his eyes and looked around. They were somewhere else.

Far Away In The Past

An older version of Kiri was on a battlefield. He was wearing a samurai armor and held a long katana in his hands. Many warriors were charging towards another group. He was nervous that anything could go wrong for them.

"Are you afraid my friend?" a man asked him.

He turned around and saw an older version of Gao. His black and red hair shined a little over his blue and red armor, that stood out from the other warriors on their side, "A little."

The one looking like Gao said, "Come on. We are together," he grabbed his friend hand and let out a confident smile, "As long as we fight as one, we shall bring Nobunaga down."

The boy nodded as his fear was washed away by his side. The two charged with the other soldiers as they joined the battlefield.

After a long battle, it was over. The soldiers were exhausted.

The two friends that looked like Kiri and Gao were a little on the side as they watched the remaining of the carnage.

The soldiers commented, "Those two are a formidable pair."

"If they weren't here, we might have lost this one."

The leader of the squadron said, "Those two are fighting as one. Fully trusting each other's to watch their back. They had no fear from an enemy coming from behind," he crossed his arms and added, "Let them be a source of inspiration for everyone."

They nodded and talked to each other's.

The one looking like Kiri sighed and commented, "So few worried for the enemies we defeated. Some were just trying to live a better life."

The other one nodded, "Some were following their code. Others loyal to Nobunaga," he finished cleaning his weapon from the blood, "Maybe their next life will be kinder."

"Y-yeah," he was silent for a few seconds. The man with blue hair thought of their own mortality. One day, his best friend might fall under the blade of Nobunaga or his soldiers.

"What is it?" the man asked as he put his blade in his scabbard. He turned around and noticed the nervousness of his friend.

"I… I thought that maybe… one of us might fall under our enemies one day," the man looking like Kiri admitted.

The one looking like Gao snickered, "As if I'll let them beat me," he sighed when his friend was not chuckling.

The other one added more, "I'm… afraid of what would our last time together be or when it will be. Since we began this war, I have always thought about it. More and more."

"Do not worry. We are friends and as long as we are together, we will not lose."

"I know. Everyone is saying that we are a powerful duo, but they will aim at us more and more as it goes on."

The older of them grabbed his black hair and grumbled, making a mess of his hair cut. He thought more and said, "I know what would calm you."

"What is it?"

"We make a vow."

"A… vow?" he understood and nodded, "Sure."

"I vowed that we will be friends together. If one of us falls, that person will come back and stand by the side of the other one once again."

"But-" the one looking like Kiri pushed that doubt away, "No matter when, we shall be side by side. If we are separated, we will come back together."

They said at the same time, "Always," they finished their vow, and both let out a relief smile on their face.

Kiri released the bubble as it went into his mind. He looked at the others and asked, "W-was that me and Gao? B-but-"

"It was you and… As your kind said, an older incarnation of Gao."

"How?"

"I don't know how the souls of the human works. However, both of you took that vow seriously. I know, I watched it from afar. A promise to always come back together in some way. Gao is a human, a mortal. His previous incarnation would die eventually while you live. Still, he always managed to come back by your side in some way."

"R-really?" the boy asked.

"Watch more, the many times Gao and you hold that sacred oath. To always come back together."

"Wait. You are telling me that my son could be-"

"He is. Fate always brought the two together somehow. That's why they met last year," Joker answered. He crossed his blades and said, "Gao was a great human in his many lives. He does change a little, but his kind nature always remains."

Kiri knew that everything was true now but knowing that an old oath between him and his friend was there, it made him smile. His friendship with Gao was deeper than he thought. He grabbed the next one and relieved more memories.

Meglax avoided the scythe coming at him and rolled on the ground. He jumped in the air and avoided another attack and countered by firing an arrow at the face of the other demon. His attack was blocked, but he didn't care. The moment he landed on the ground, he did a back flip and avoided the tail of Ogre, "You didn't get that much stronger," he muttered to the murderer of his family.

"I am just holding back. I enjoyed our previous battle, but it was a little disappointing how quickly you felt."

"I doubt you know how to hold back. Still, I am holding back too," he let out a large grin, "If I can beat you without going to my full power," he grabbed his knife and charged, "That will crush your spirit!"

The other dragon avoided the attacks coming at him and blocked anything. The demon grunted as he couldn't find any opening to counterattack.

Deathgaze was waiting for an opportunity to jump in the fight. He and his buddy wanted to kill Drum as quickly as possible. Anything to hurt the boy Gao and his friends. He checked if he had an opening and noticed that the Omni Lord was carefully watching him, he expects me to pull something like that, he frowned. He had to be quicker when he acted. That was all.

Davide grabbed a spellcard, ready to use it to turn the tide of the battle. He just had to be much faster than Gao and anticipated what he would use, Gao often uses a shield to protect his buddy. I need to aim so the shield won't be effective.

The Cavalry Dragon grunted when he was kicked on the chest and sent away. He rolled on the ground a few times before he jumped back to his feet. He cleaned his armor and his hat from the dust, "Looks like you were holding back after all," he cracked the bones of his neck as he frowned, "I will go all out now Ogre. You will pay for what you did to my family and everyone you killed. However, I promise you it will be worse than what I wanted to do to you the first time we fought," he let out a war cry and charged once again.

Kiri finished looking his old memories as a human being. He was on his knees as he checked on his buddy, "Are those… all the time I spent with Gao?"

"Yes Kiri. From the time where you lived a simple life as a citizen of Kyoto, to the harder time of the Second World War. You always crossed path one day in your life and you became best friend. That promise was powerful enough that somehow, it became true. Maybe it was his power that forged that vow and maybe some of Miseria. I don't know what you both did, but this is what happened. You two became friends and remained friends even when he dies. He came back for you during all those times," the monster smiled with his eyes and said, "You made a wonderful friend."

Takashi crossed his arms and said, "I can't believe my son went through so much… somehow," he didn't really understand how it was possible, but seeing his son previous incarnation was reassuring. His boy was always a good person at heart, no matter how harsh the world was to him. It reassured him of his son future. He wondered how his boy would react when he learned about it. Still, it wasn't that important right now, "They are more for you to see Kiri," he was certain of it.

"Now buddy. It is time for you to recover your memories of Miseria. Do not worry, I will be by your side, helping you remembering everything."

"Y-yeah," he was a little uncertain.

"To help you through this, it's best that you begin remembering everything through our meeting. It will be smothered after you remember me," he pointed at a bubble where the memory was.

The boy grabbed it. It was larger than those he had before. Probably because his memories of that life were much longer than before. He checked at it and saw Joker, who looked a little different.

The boy checked at it and saw how they first met "You… Weren't a good monster," he commented.

"I am ashamed to admit it, but I wasn't Kiri. I was a criminal who tried to steal your Omni Lord Emblem. Look at it please. See how you saved me from my old self."

Kiri did so and observed it.

Miseria sat on the corner, watching the small fire he made for the night. He gazed at the monster made of stone on the side, his body still cracked and damaged from the impact of his powerful attack. The Omni Lord knew he went too far on his attack. He was certain he held back, to make sure not to break the monster like that. He gazed down in shame and sighed. He already treated those wounds with his magic. The cracks were smaller than when they were made. It didn't seem like there was something coming out before, like the life of the monster itself. Still, it took a long time for the monster to wake up.

The monster painfully coughed as he put his blades on his chest, "I-" he turned on the side and saw the Omni Lord. He quickly tried to stand up, but the pain awoke in his chest and lost his balance.

Miseria stood up and approached the monster.

"S-stay away!" he pointed his blade at the Omni Lord.

"You are still hurt. You need to rest, or you won't survive the night," he ordered calmly.

The monster tried to stand up once again and the pain came back. The Omni Lord approached him, and he put the monster back on the ground.

The rock monster tried to escape from his predicament. He tried to escape, but eventually gave up when the pain was too much in his chest. He rested down and resigned to his fate.

"Good. It will take a few days until you are healed. If you don't try anything," he warned him. The boy stood up and returned to the camp.

The monster gazed at him quietly for a while. He didn't know why but didn't care to ask. He simply observed the Omni Lord. He had to bite his time and eventually, he would take the emblem. He had a few days to get a small understanding if the Omni Lord.

The green dragon avoided the weapons and jumped back. He ducked under the next attack and rolled on the left before the tail whipped him. He blocked more attacks with his knife. He grunted as he couldn't get a chance to counter. His best way of taking the offensive was to use his bow and arrows. He avoided more attacks and took his chance to slid under the demon and slashed the left leg. He caused little damage and the demon barely bled.

Ogre chuckled, "Not bad. You held on longer than I anticipated," he chuckled as he prepared his scythe, "I will end your life soon," he let out a large grin.

"I'm a little disappointed in you. You still didn't hit me while I hurt you. Even if it is barely, it's more than you," he prepared his next attack.

The two dragons charged, and they fought for a while. The sounds of their weapons bounced on each other's and echoed in the forest.

Drum lightly frowned as he watched Deathgaze, "He might try something Gao. I'll do something if he tries anything. Focus on Davide."

"I will," the boy replied as he held a spellcard.

Davide frowned as he couldn't take action. He never expected to be under such gaze from the boy. Before, Gao wouldn't be that focused on him and often watching the monster. It was still the same, but the accursed boy was more aware of his surrounding. He checked on the red dragon who was focused on his buddy.

The darkness dragon hated to be forced into inactivity. The gaze of the Omni Lord was all on him and it made him nervous.

Drum gave one quick gaze to the two warriors fighting in the battlefield. He wished it were him who handled the demon, but it was the best course of action. He had to believe in the Cavalry Knight. It also meant to believe in Tenbu and everything he taught him.

The dragons continued to violently fight against each other's. Meglax tried to take some distance and used his arrow but gave up on that. He decided to change his idea. He knew how he could get Ogre off guard, but he needed to wait for the perfect chance to attack. He had to keep avoiding everything coming at him and when the chances came, he would get him.

He frowned as he waited for his opportunity.

Shido, Gallows and Sofia continued to wander deeper in the forest. The boy was getting nervous as the earthquake were getting more and more frequent as they were closer to the source of the instability.

"Even in the air, I can feel everything shaking around," the monster grumbled as his purple eyes were spinning a little. He flew lower and slapped his face a few times to get his focus back.

"We have to find out what is going on and give our report to Gratos," Sofia reminded them.

"We know," the darkness dragon replied with a deadpan face.

"I'm starting to think it's the strongest Omni Lord that is here. Just a feeling," Shido commented.

"I have to agree," she replied. She accelerated her pacing. She knew they were near their destination.

They reached it and stopped as they watched what was going on. They could feel some aura on the ground, trying to get out. Sofia even felt a little nervous now, feeling what was near them.

Her friend gulped as he grabbed his left arm, wondering if it would be better to turn around soon. If that thing came out, they were done for by just being there.

The darkness dragon flew higher and looked down. He stopped when he saw the energy coming out of it. He saw it literally and he flew back towards them, "I can literally see his power!"

Sofia took out a spellcard and activated it. The group waited for the spell to finish its effect.

Shido was ready to grab her and escape quickly if it turned wrong. The Omni Lord when felt threatened and took the offensive.

The girl remained focused on her task and eventually, it was done. The card stopped shining and sighed. She turned towards them and said, "It's done. We should turn around and make our leave."

"And get Davide," the boy sighed.

"And Deathgaze," Gallows grumbled as he crossed his arms.

They walked away. None of them dear to say that everything went okay just in case something would happen to prove them wrong.

"Do you think he might be watching us?" Shido quietly asked.

The girl nodded negatively.

"Okay. You think we should talk to Kyoya too?" the boy asked without getting specific. Even if she said no, it might not be the case.

Sofia thought about it and nodded positively, "I think it might be for the best. If we are absent for too long…"

"Yeah. He might get suspicious," the boy agreed.

"And Azi Dahaka will get on my back and he will be infuriated," the darkness dragon added his little touch.

The humans felt on the ground when another earthquake stroke. However, that one was much stronger than before. They put their hands over their head.

Gallows felt on the ground, feeling the energy disoriented him. He put his hands on his head and grumbled nervously, "T-this isn't fine at all!"

It stopped and the three stood up.

"Let's hurry up," Shido said as he accelerated.

No one would disagree with him.

Long Ago: Miseria Memories

A few days passed and the monster wounds were finally closed. He was feeling much better, but confused.

The Omni Lord helped him and watched over him for the few days. He found nothing to use against Miseria. He was like a closed book that he couldn't open it no matter how many times he tried. He also felt like the other one read every of his moved and thought process. It was nerve racking for the monster. Many thoughts came about the monster who saved his life, when he tried to kill him. He didn't understand at all.

Miseria looked at his red eyes and stood up, "You are better," he turned around, "And be careful."

"Omni Lord," the rock monster grunted.

He stopped and gazed at him, "I didn't intent to hurt you that much," Miseria had noticed that the monster was often in his thought during his healing process. He couldn't do anything until he was good enough. It was probably the first time he focused so much on his own thought instead of acting or gaining something.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why help me?"

"I told you. Because I didn't intend to almost break you. You aren't an evil being," he walked away.

The rock being stood up and approached the other monster before he could walk away, "That's not what I meant! Why help me? Why save someone who tries to kill you?"

"Because you aren't evil," Miseria replied.

"That's it?" he grunted.

The Omni Lord continued to walk away.

"Don't go away like that! I won't accept that excuse! You just pitied me!" he quickly went in the way of the Omni Lord, "Think you can just leave me like a piece of rock? Not at all! I'm sure you know what I am! A monster who kills and steal others!"

"Because you don't know anything else. You must have thought back on your actions already," Miseria answered with confidence.

The other one didn't take it well and kneeled to the level of the humanoid monster, "Don't talk like you know me! Like you can read me!"

"You cannot take an honest answer? I told you, I only eliminate evil. You aren't," he tried to walk on the side, but the other one didn't let him pass.

"You are just pretending! You can't be serious! I am nothing!" he yelled at the other one.

The Omni Lord noticed that his actions might came from a deeper problem. It wasn't just his tool for survival. He didn't just kill for that. He wasn't evil, but there was something else. He saw himself as a being that had no value for the rest of the world. He wondered how he should reply. He had to choose his words carefully now. He already antagonised the monster once again and seemed ready to fight.

"Got anything to tell me? Don't leave me to stone?" the rock monster said that pun without trying to be funny. He let it escaped by accident. He stopped in his anger and gazed at the side, "Answer me… I mean."

The sudden de-escalation of the monster anger gave the chance for Miseria to countered, "Every life means something to me. As an Omni Lord, I have to value that above all else or I'm just a scum," he calmly said. He did have some passion in his reply.

The monster gazed at him.

The Omni Lord wondered what was going on in the mind of the monster and waited for his reply.

To Be Continued.

AC: This is the end of this episode. There is more to come in another episode. There is more to put in there and I don't want to cut corners. Next one will come out in three weeks too. I'm still pretty busy for now.

Next episode might be as big as this one or shorter. I don't know until I've done it.
