Chapter 29

Looking up, Logue started to look around. Very quickly, she noticed that there was not the slightest noise, nor even the slightest presence. She was currently alone in the warehouse, with the corpses as the only company.

" Is he gone?"

Waiting a few minutes to make sure Kalgon was gone, she finally got up and took advantage of her hands and feet to run away to the front door. Then putting herself on tiptoe, she began to grab the handle and hastened to lower it. However, she tried hard, the door did not open. It was locked and Logue had no chance of opening it without a key.

" Oh no ! "

"What are you doing, my light?"

Freezing then, Logue turned to see Kalgon entering the room, with what looked like dilapidated clothes in his hand, covered with blood.

"I'm here, my light! I went to get you clothes that these demons wore on them! Come on now!"

"No!" Replied Logue, then knocking on the door with his fists! I want to leave! Mom! Dad! Come and get me!

" Go ? " Astonished Kalgon, walking towards her! But why ? You are my light! I am the one who deserves to be by your side and take advantage of your purity!

Then hearing Logue start sobbing, he then declared.

" You must not cry, come on! Wasn't it you who told me to smile? Come on, give me a pretty smile! "

Thinking then of what he had done to the little girl earlier, Logue suddenly turned to him, to display a look of hatred, while tears ran down his cheeks.

" No ! You are a bad guy! I hate you ! "

At that moment, Kalgon let go of what he had in his hands, while his eyesight blurred. Overcome with anger, the purity of Logue's heart was disappearing, giving way to obscurity due to his sudden hatred.

" That … ? That … ? My light ! "

Then feeling his brain make him suffer, he ends up displaying a mad look in the direction of Logue, while mumbling.

" You're not my light! "

And before Logue could do anything, Kalgon was right in front of her, and raised her arm in the air.

" You are only a demon! "

Suddenly leaving the ground, blocks of stones suddenly covered his human arm, making it look like that of a golem.

" What? " Logue wondered.

" I'm going to kill you ! " Roared the man, sending his fist towards his head.

Afraid of what she saw, Logue felt his legs tremble and eventually collapsed on the floor, without realizing it. Stooping thus, she managed, unwittingly, to get out of the path of impact. Breaking the door, the man's fist sprayed the door.

" Grrr! Stay still! "

Suddenly sneaking between his legs, Logue found himself behind him and started to run to run away from this monster. However, it did not take long for the latter 's silhouette to be found behind her, before an imposing hand gripped her around the neck. Deprived of air, Logue was then lifted above the ground, while Kalgon roared.

" You're going to pay for cheating on me! "

Unable to gesture faintly, Logue felt his strength give up as the seconds passed.

" Die and go to hell! "

" SKY DRAGON'S ROQUETTE! "

Fusing towards Kalgon, several missiles surrounded by a tornado of wind eventually struck its back, creating a large explosion on impact.

Feeling himself thrown in the air, Logue lost consciousness and ended up being caught. by a pair of hands. After making sure she was okay, Caruma cried out.

" I caught the girl! "

" Very well, in this case, go outside! " Wendy ordered.

" We are taking care of getting rid of this disbeliever! " Seryu assured, while Koro assumed his bestial appearance.

Suddenly roaring, Kalgon showed that he was still alive. And for good reason, a stone wall had suddenly come out of the ground and had managed to protect it from the combined attack of the two girls.

" Tsss! So what Niks told us is true! " Understood Seryu! " It has the power of a teigu! "

" It seems to be able to control the rock! " Remarked Wendy.

Then staring at the newcomers, Kalgon screamed.

" Who do you think you are, dirty demons? I was about to make this source of darkness disappear from this planet! "

Barely paying attention to his words, Wendy suddenly knelt down to look at the corpse of a child, who was at his feet. Gently taking it, she ran her hand over her throat to find out that she was beautiful and dead.

" Why ? " She asked then, calmly! " Why did you kill all these people? "

" Huh ? They were only the darkness of this city! There was not a gram of purity in them! They were destined to become evil! That's why I killed them! "

It didn't take more than a heavy blow to hit the entire warehouse. Caruma was about to leave the building, losing his balance, while Seryu put his arms in front of his face to prevent the wind from whipping it.

Motionless, meanwhile, Kalgon saw Wendy get up, while mumbling.

" Is that your excuse? Did you kill all these little girls for something so silly and ridiculous? "

Preparing to reply, Kalgon was suddenly surprised by the appearance of Wendy's soul. She was no longer the soul of a human. No, it took the form of that of a much more powerful creature. A monster with powers beyond comprehension.

" But that … ? "

" These girls were not even ten years old! " Roared Wendy! " And you dare to pretend that they were evil and that they deserved to die? "

Clenching her fist, she declared.

" I don't want to kill people! But you … ! You ...! "

Staring at Kalgon with a look of pure hatred, she roared.

" You certainly don't deserve to continue living! "

" Oh, shut up! You annoy me ! " Cried Kalgon, running straight towards her.

Being already in possession of Number 2, Seryu positioned himself in front of Wendy while smiling devilishly.

" Well, a small gift from me! "

Releasing three of the remaining missiles, Seryu saw them rush straight for Kalgon. However, far from being impressed, the latter rolled up one of his sleeves, to show a sort of silver watch. Immediately, he turned the object's dial.

As if by magic, coming out of the ground, blocks of stone began to float in the air, and found themselves in front of the missiles. Hitting them, they exploded, creating a cloud of smoke. Taking advantage of the latter, Kalgon continued his race, and eventually found himself in front of Seryu.

" Koro! Number…! "

Too late. Covering her stone arm again, Kalgon managed to strike her at the level of her chin. Feeling a destructive force, Seryu was then expelled towards the ceiling and literally crossed the latter.

Spitting blood, it continued its flight, before descending and crashing against the roof of the warehouse.

" Seryu! " Caruma frightened.

" A demon less! " Rejoices Kalgon.

Positioning his arms in time to protect himself, he blocked a kick from Wendy, while the child roared.

" You will pay it! "

" You have no idea who I am! " Retorted the man, throwing him against a wall with a simple movement of his arms! " I am a former army captain! Not only am I powerful but, in addition, I know the true facade of the capital! "

Opening his arms wide, he cried out.

" We are only surrounded by nothingness and only I can see it! It is therefore my duty to purge this world! I have to find the rare angels on this planet; bring them together to form a new community and kill everyone else! "

Standing up, Wendy wiped her chin where a trickle of blood had flowed. Then she swore.

" I would never let you do it! "

Staring at her, Kalgon was surprised to see part of her hair changed color.

" Hum? "

Fixing the corpses at her feet, Wendy roared.

"You are not a man ! You are a real monster! "

Backing away, Caruma couldn't understand what was going on, as she saw the child's hair turn pink.

" Wen ... Wendy ? "

" Yes, just like part of the population of the capital! You just kill and bring sadness and misery around you! "

A wall of wind then surrounding the girl, while she confessed.

" I have had enough of all this! I want to destroy all this evil! Here and now ! "

" What are you saying ? " Asked Kalgon! " What do you think you are doing? "

" Whether it is here or at Fiore, I could never forgive a guy like you who kills children! "

Feeling the strong gusts of wind making him retreat, while Wendy's hair had completely changed, Kalgon retorted.

" You will can never understand my motivations! "

Suddenly flying towards him, Wendy found herself in front of his face, while affirming.

" And I'm happy! I would never want to be like you! "

A powerful punch then ravaged Kalgon's face.

Spitting blood again, Seryu struggled to make the slightest movement, while she felt his entire body be dizzy. Breathing with difficulty, her head was spinning, while the taste of blood permeated her mouth.

"This guy ... I underestimated him! "

Then hearing collision noises, below her, she quickly understood that a fight currently between Kalgon and Wendy. Far too weak to participate, she decided to help Wendy by doing the only thing she could still do.

Aiming at the sky, it activated the last remaining missile and made it take off.

Flying as fast as he could, Run flew over poor neighborhoods in search of the warehouse where Kalgon was hiding.

"Who is this guy, damn it? I can think about it again and again, nothing allows me to make a connection between Champ and this Kalgon? So wouldn't it be him, then? "

Suddenly, his gaze caught a silhouette in front of him, rising in the sky, before exploding.

" A missile ? " He wondered.

"Seryu! "

" What was that ? " Wanted to know Kije, perceiving the enormous noise coming from the sky.

" A missile ! " Kurome noted.

" Seryu and Wendy show us their position! " Wave understood, not losing a moment to run towards the noise.

Bringing out blocks of rock from the ground, Kalgon used his teigu to swing them towards Wendy. Dodging them one by one, the child had no trouble getting close to Kalgon, and tried to punch him again.

Positioning a stone in front of him to protect himself, the man was surprised to hear it crack before exploding under Wendy's attack.

" SKY DRAGON'S WINGS! "

Struck on the chest, the man let out a trickle of saliva, before crashing against a wall.

" Demon! How dare you stand in the way of God? "

Simply walking towards him, Wendy confessed.

" Seryu annoys me a lot when she tries to make me understand that she is doing good with her false justice! However, this is nothing compared to your vision of the world and your misdeeds! She, at least, I know that she will never attack children! "

" Children are the source of evil on this earth! " Replied Kalgon, scattering large stones all around Wendy! " They are the ones who will lead the Empire to its demise! "

Shattering one after the other, the stones cover Wendy's body. However, a few moments later, all of them were pushed aside by strong winds, allowing Wendy to continue her march.

" What? "

" Children are just following the example of adults! If an adult shows kindness like Bols does, his child can do the same! Children can very well be the ones who will lead this city to its loss or who, on the contrary, will save it! But it is certainly not up to you to decide which child deserves to live or not! "

" But shut up ! " Kalgon ordered, trying to hit her again.

Dodging her fist, Wendy leapt into the air before hitting Kalgon in the face. Dropping him to the ground, she landed on his chest, astride, while cocking his fist which she surrounded with wind.

" You will pay for all the harm you have done! "

This time, there was no trace of kindness in her anymore. Just hate ... and a desire for revenge. For the first time in her life, Wendy felt nothing more than a murderous urge and was ready to do anything to satisfy it.

However, while she was going to hit the man, the latter ends up putting his hands in front of his face, before begging her.

" No, please! Don't kill me! I do not want to die ! "

Stopping at that moment, Wendy heard him start sobbing, as he said.

" I just want ... I just want to change the capital! Nothing more ! I want us all to be able to live happily! "

" And you massacred children for that? "

" It's a voice in my head!" Suddenly assured Kalgon! " She told me to do it! "

" A voice ? "

'' Kalgon is crazy, since the day we shot him in the head! " Told him Niks.

Still frozen, Wendy could only watch Kalgon continue to cry, with his fist ready to knock him down. Yet, while gritting her teeth, she ends up lowering her hand, while her hairreturned to their original color.

" I am unable to kill you! Kalgon, all I want is for you to be able to live happily, while understanding how bad what you did is! That's why I'm arresting you! Please follow me without making a fuss and I will do my best to prevent you from being executed! "

Kalgon's fist then hit her in the stomach, throwing him against a wall.

" You are just an idiot! " Sneered Kalgon.

" WENDY! " Cried Caruma, running towards her.

" You, disappear! " Kalgon ordered, swinging a block of rock at her.

Unable to jump back, Caruma had to squeeze more of Logue's body to prevent him from letting go. Then being alone with the human-looking monster, she stared at the only being who could still help them.

" Koro, attack him! "

However, the teigu did nothing. Still in its bestial form, the monster had only growled since the man had sent Seryu to whirl in the air. However, he had tried nothing more.

" Koro? "

" Ha ha ha! " Sneered Kalgon! He will do nothing! As long as his mistress has given him no order, he will do nothing to help you! " Too bad for you ! "

Hearing this, Caruma stepped back from him, still insisting.

" Koro, attack him! Pity ! "

" No need! It is not an animal! Just a stupid dyke needing orders to have some semblance of life! They are only made to serve us! "

A stone then ricocheted against his face, drawing his attention. Leaning against a warehouse wall, Wendy was unable to get up. Having no other options, she grabbed a few stones at her feet, which she threw now on Kalgon.

" Teigus are not just weapons! They too have feelings! Don't treat them like they're nothing! "

Then staring at Koro, she cried out.

" Koro, I know you want to do it! So attack! "

Grunting more, the dog let his muscles contract. However, much to Kalgon's relief, he always stayed in his place.

" Tsss! Nice words to prove the opposite! You are definitely just ...! "

Sharp projectiles suddenly punctured the wall and almost touched it.

" That … ? "

Then finding itself broken, a piece of wall collapsed, allowing to see a winged silhouette enter the building. Smiling, recognizing her, Wendy muttered.

" Run! "

Then landing near her, the man noticed.

" It seems you have fought a hard fight, Wendy! Leave me to remplace you ! "

" Hey, who are you? " Asked Kalgon! " You seem to be an angel but I also see the evil in you! "

Turning towards him, Run lost his smile as he watched the scene. Not needing anyone to explain what was going on, he simply stared at Kalgon then the dead children on the ground and finally Caruma holding Logue in his arms as she hid behind Koro.

Finally, he said.

" I understand ! "

Clenching his fist, he threw a murderous look at Kalgon, while noticing.

" A pity for you, my dear! "

Flapping its wings to gain height, it roars.

" Compared to Wendy, I would have no mercy to kill you! "
