Chapter 7:
A jokers world
"I want to use my first wish" hikaru said
"Wait hikaru lis-"Hikaru says again with a little deep voice" i want to use my first wish"
"Listen to me fir-"
"It was part of the deal. You are going to do it or not"
Aki gets pissed off "whatever"
Aki thought he could calm him down later because he is not in a state to listen to anyone now.
Aki claps hand, they gets transported back in the white area
Aki asks"So what do you want? I cannot fulfil wishes like erase the world, kill that person, make me the most powerful of all."
"I want to command the 5 mosters, the jokers of the pre era. I want their power" hikaru said with a blank expression
"i told you-"
Aki gets vanished from the white area
Hikaru looks around in confusion. Up down left right Aki was nowhere to be seen.
"Wh-"
Aki reappears in front of him.
Aki’s eyes were wide open, his feet were trembling.
"Hey what happened? Why did you disappear without fulfilling my wish?"
"O......" aki said something in low voice
"What? I can't hear you"
"Ok..okay . You will gain some of their power and you will be able to command them when you call for them. You can call for one at a time."
Hikaru already lost his sanity when he saw Yuki with ice spears pierced through all of her body .
"Then let's go back now," Hikaru said and got back on his feets.
Aki was still shocked by something but he clapped and they went back.
Time stopped for the world so according to Lues vision nothing happened except that Hikaru was standing rather than on the ground on his feet.
"Aaaaaa... what an expression you have there sir. Please don't be sad" said Lues
Hikaru was not replying to him. He was just staring at him.
"Sir please don't stare at me that much. I will get scared of you"
Hikaru slightly tilted head. Lues actually started to get a little scared.
Hikaru opens the seal of his lips and says
"I call for one of the 5 jokers"
The earth started shaking and in a blink of an eye the sky and earth met and in the midst of them was hikaru.
In another blink they separated back. Hikaru was standing on the ground, Lues thought he saw an illusion. He shakes his head in hope of breaking out of that pseudo illusion and then said
"Rage is not going to take us anywhere sir. What happened cannot be reverted back, it's the meaning of life to keep going forward. Live for what other things are precious to you"
Hikaru starts laughing in a terrifying way.
" he he...hehe..hehaahhahha, you are right i should live for what i look forward to. But what should look forward to,I don't have anything to live for"
"You sho-"
Before Lues finished, Hikaru ran towards him and kicked him on the side of guts . Lues falls far from the village. Hikaru catches up to him.
"Cough Cough.....that was a pretty good kick sir"
Lues gets back on his feet.
"But i am not so fragile to break by it"
Lues hits the ground with his leg. An ice pillar hits Hikaru, sending him to the sky.
Lues starts attacking hikaru with consecutive ice spears. Hikaru keeps dodging and starts laughing.
Lues freezes him in ice.Hikaru breaks out of it and punches Lues in the gut. Lues flies toward the mountain, a little far from the village but still visible from the village.
The old couple returns and see all the damaged plants and their front yard.
"What happened here"
The peak of the mountain breaks. All the villagers came out of the house from all the turmoil. It was still dark outside but all the villagers' eyes were wide awake seeing the peak of the mountain crumble before their own eyes.
Hikaru and Lues keep fighting on the mountain.
Lues dashes a little far from the mountain, imitates the shape of the mountain with his hand and captures the mountain and hikaru in a big ice mountain completely hollow and reflecting things inside. Temperatura far lower than outside, so cold that even sweat was freezing in an instant.
He also enters into it. Makes some copies of ice the same as himself. Makes ice spears with his powers and freezes hikaru in ice again
Copies follow him and do the same thing. Hikaru gets frozen in thick layers of ice, Lues rains his spears on him.The ice mountain breaks, fog surrounds the whole area.
The fog settles down. Hikaru was standing there with ice shades pierced in his body and blood flowing out. Frozen hairs and eye brows. The whiteness of cold covering his body. Breath vapor covering his face with each of his breaths.
He walks toward Lues. Laughing and crying at the same time.
"Yes yes yes. Neither I nor you can die easily. My blood is still boiling"
Hikaru looks at his fist " these hands still have the strength left to kill the whole world"
Lues suddenly appears on the right side of hikaru with a sword of ice and tries to stab him.
"Ignorance is sin"
Hikaru catched the sword with his right hand. The tip of the sword was only four fingers away from Hikaru's eyes. The sword extension, Hikaru dodged it and kicked on the ground. The ground lifted a little and threw them into the sky. blasts a fire ball on his face.
They kept fighting till 5 am, the night was about to end. All the villagers were watching the destruction happening on mountains, children were clinging to their parents in fear.
Both of them started to catch up to the limit of their bodies.Hikaru raised his hand and made a spear of ice imitating lues
"Is this the magic you have mastered?"
He throwed it towards Lues, Lues dodged it but the spear exploded and Lues was caught in ice. Hikaru throws a big ice block at him.
Lues sinks in the ground, and hikaru follows him.
"It's not enough to beat me" said Lues and stood up.
Lues turn full ground in ice. Hikaru's legs were grabbed by two hands of ice that emerged from the ground. Hikaru was brought to his knees, his legs fully freezed. Lues made a wand from ice, and pointed it toward hikaru.
Some invisible hands started to freeze Hikaru's body from inside. Hikaru's heart beat started slowing down. His brain felt like stinged by a thousand needles. He started to lose consciousness.
Hikaru unconsciously lifted his right hand and tried to capture Lues in it. He clenched his fist.
A hand of bones emerges from the ground and captures Lues in his fist. The hand was almost reaching the sky. The villagers could also see it from far away.
Hikaru's body started going back to normal, he came back to senses. A voice echoed in Hikaru's mind
"Don't die yet."
Hikaru looked around and saw the skeleton hand taking Lues in the ground. Hikaru struggled to stand up with all of his injuries and exhaustion.
"Hey...hey where are you taking him, give him back. I have to kill him by myself. Don't you dare to take him away."
The hand went back in the ground without any traces left on the ground.
The time of early morning suddenly turned into night again the sky was full of clouds. A person descended from the sky. With a long coat, hair long up to the shoulder, eyes sharp to cut others focus and hold attention towards them. Those blue eyes which hikaru will never forget about. It was Nefrim himself.
In the middle of sky he said " what a mess he made"
Nefrim looked at hikaru " Are you the one because of whom he had to made this much of scene "
Hikaru's face was covered by blood and whitening of ice. Nefrim can't properly get a good look at his face nor was he interested.
"What a mess for such a simple task. It takes a lot of work to clear up all the mess he made" said and sighed Nefrim.
From his words Hikaru understands it was Nefrim who sent Lues to kill Mahiru.
All exhaustion and pain left Hikaru's mind and the only thing remaining was a sea of rage.
Hikaru throwed himself toward Nefrim in the sky. Aimed his hands at the sky and called lightning on Nefrim.
Lightning fell on Nefrim, he deflected it towards the ground.
Hikaru formed a spear from magic and started attacking Nefrim.
Nefrim dodged every attack and counterattacked with a punch in Hikaru's stomach, Hikaru smacked in ground in an instant.
He throwed himself again and with one hand made a spear of fire and earth spell and with another using air to accelerate it he launched it. It gained very high speed, even before blinking an eye it could pass through you and you wouldn't even notice it.
Nefrim placed his hand in front of it and absorbed it. Hikaru couldn't take his eyes off.
"Look i dont have time to play with you" said Nefrim
Hikaru's eyes went red and his full body pumped up like he was just about to blast. He was forcing mana in his body from surrounding, and at the same time using it to heal his body from inside. Forcing mana from surrounding could have been lethal for him but it worked because of the deal with 5 jokers which helped him gain power and his changes in his body while summoning him to this world.
Hikaru couldn't control that much mana flow in his body. It started leaking from his body damaging the surrounding. Hikaru launched himself once more.
Gets near Nefrim at a speed which even shocks Nefrim.
Pointed one hand at the top of the head, second below him. Nefrim gets smashed between two hands one from sky and another from earth. They vanished away then lightning striked. He got frozen in an ice cage, fell to the ground, and ice breaked.
Then some hands from the ground caught his hands and legs. Nefrim looked up at the sky. Hikaru made a small fire ball with his one hand and fired it at Nefrim. It hit him and blasted 3 times, making a large hole in the ground.
When the dust settled down hikaru saw Nefrim with only little injuries and bruises over his body.
"You are quite strong but don't think you can win against me. I have no mood to fight but for the injuries you gave me i have to show you what is difference in power look like"
Nefrim was coming towards hikaru with full speed, hikaru attacked him with water shots, it was a mirage. Nefrim appeared behind hikaru and grabbed his head and cast magic.
Hikaru's mind was overloaded with mana, his his body was not working according to his will. Hikaru coughed out blood. From mouth, nose and ears flood came out and painted his whole face again in red. Nefrim released him, and Hikaru fell to the ground.
"Aaaaa... I can't let people see me here. Well I was here just to confirm things and it looks like he did his work" said Nefrim and vanished in the cloud in sky.
Aki and Sana rushed toward hikaru and tried to wake him up.
Hikaru couldn't see and hear anything clearly. His pulses were sowing down.
‘At least I can die now. It was a pain to even move myself around after yuki's death. Aren't i a big siscon, Well whatever’ thought hikaru
"I told you, not to die" the voice again echoed in Hikaru's mind. When Hikaru opened his eyes he was present in a completely different place from the mountain he was fighting at.
His upper corner of eyes caught something, he looked up and his survival instincts kicked in. He started sweating and shivering, you could hear his heart beating from outside.
There were 5 big shadows in front of him, he wasn't able to see what they looked like, they were covered in black fog.
"We told you to not die but well given the opponent and your state of mind it was inevitable" one of them spoke in a heavy voice.
"Wh..who are you"
"Oo.. ya you don't know us. We are the 5 jokers of pre era"
"The jokers?"
"Yes. We are the one who gave you the power and we don't want you to die"
"But I don-" hikaru was cut in middle of speaking
"We will help you the time you call us, we can't interfere much in the human world. Now go back, you are not dead"
"Let's me di-" hikaru woke up while aki was shouting at him,
"Hey...wake up, wake up hikaru"
Tears were falling from Hikaru's eyes.
The morning came the sun was hidden behind the cloud but the sky was as bluest with white clouds covering it. Resembling the peak time of summer.
Hikaru started shouting "Don't. Don't rise. Go back, at least let me cry in the darkness of the night. Why, why is the world still moving forward. It looks like nothing happened. Stop , stop moving forward so I can at least cry in loneliness."
Hikaru faces his hand towards him and starts making a fireball to kill himself.
:slap:
hikaru was slapped.
