The Unliving Sage

Chapter 1: the birth of a disaster (part 2)

Chapter 1: the birth of a disaster (part 2)

Jul 08, 2023

"NOOOO!" Azul shouted out in a fit of rage, knowing what was about to occur due to the chains hold on him. He reached out further to grab Asura, but in that occurrence, a spear made of light, far bigger than a skyscraper, had been lunged towards the chest area of Azul, pinning him to the ground.

"He’s down now, Asura!" Gantuma, the 8th executioner, spoke from the right side as his voice echoed from his bulky armor, which was severely damaged. He and the 2nd and 4th executioners cast a holy art spell that conjured the giant spear of light while they stayed levitated up in the sky.

"Do it now!" Korra, the 4th executioner, spoke from the left side, as her armor was on the verge of destruction.

"Seal him once and for all, Asura!" Shito, the second executioner, spoke with his armor nearly destroyed.

Azul heard what Shito shouted and was enraged to the point of opening his muzzle and releasing a highly condensed orb of pure darkness, launching it at high speed towards the three of them.

"DIE!" The blast had made contact with the three executioners. Disintegrating them into oblivion. Asura saw this; he wore a grim look on his face but turned his face back at Azul, with his eyes turning blood red.

"It’s over... Azul

I am the one who drew the line between life and death, the right hand of judgment, and I hold the gift of non-existence banishment.

Azul You have been judged. Begone!

REAPER SEAL: BANISHEMENT!"

The first executioner chanted, and as the chains started to pull Azul into the magic circle, a pillar of light erupted from the circle, consuming Azul wholly.

"ASURA! I CAN NOT BE SEALED AND WILL NOT BE SEALED!" Azul shot his hand towards Asura in hopes of stopping him, but Asura retaliated with immediate effect.

"Damn it! Space art: vanish!" Asura cast a space spell as he warped into a portal that transported him into the barrier safe point. But sadly, Azul's hand had gone through, and as the portal closed, it severed his hand as it dropped into the base.

"Clear way!" Asura commanded, as the people below had stood clear from the impact, although it seemed that a couple with their 11-month-old baby were still in the path.

"move out!" A voice from the crowd erupted as the person, who seemed to be a priest, busted out of the crowd and cast a protective spell on the couple. But not the child, as he didn’t notice the child on time.

"Our child!" the couple shouted as the hand from Azul landed upon the baby, and on impact, the hand had exploded with dark red fumes, creating a small crater... But then suddenly, the magic circle that had Azul disappeared with him and reappeared on top of the boy.

"Space technique: Grand Barrier!" The first executioner chanted as a red barrier was summoned around the event, but he was inside the barrier to hold it still.

"lord asura!" The dragon guild unit had arrived to help, but it was too late, as Asura was outside the barrier.

"Arthur, the final report from the executioners... it’s finished." The seal circle turned a bright light as everyone covered their eyes, but then the cries of the baby could still be heard, as they sounded distorted and like those of a demon.

"Affirmative, Lord Asura!" Arthur spoke out with a grim expression on his face, and Asura smiled and nodded, disintegrating in the process.




Priest p.o.v

 

As the barrier Asura set to hold the shockwave broke, I stepped forward with my eyes glowing white and my chronicle glowing. The pressure from my mana presence was so overwhelming that even the guild units paused in shock at the display of power.

"Please, save my child!" The child’s mother pleaded, and as I stretched out my arms to witness the unfolding event, the demonic screams from the child had put everyone on edge.

"Holy Art: Blessed Restoration" A bright light emitted from my chronicle as it overcame the light from the event and then spread towards the rest of the damaged part of the globe. As all of the destruction caused by the titan was back to normal and all the lives taken were returned, except for the executioners,

‘amazing... He reversed the causalities. Around the whole globe, Arthur and some of the other guild members were star-struck.

The light started to die down, with the priest's eyes still glowing white and the baby floating in the air, as some strange marks were all over his body and some of his features had changed; his once black hair was now dirty white, as shown clearly.

The mother pushed through the crowd to reach her child, but as she reached the child, the father ran through and pushed her out of the way, grabbing a shard of glass to kill the child.

"This child is not mine anymore! It’s a vessel of evil!" The man swung the glass up in the sky to stab the child as the baby opened its eyes and noticed the man.

But before he could do anything, the mother had hugged the baby in her arms. And took the stab, right through her heart. The blood stained the baby as it stared at the mom and started to cry.

"N-no asum- AAAAHHHHH NO THE CHILD IS NOT MINE, DIE!!!" The man screamed as his features started to change to those of a demon, as dark red fumes started to spill out of his eye sockets, and as his skin started to burn.

Suddenly, there was a pillar of purple light that struck the man. Fully transforming him into a demon... He had fully been corrupted.

"stand clear!" Arthur shouted as some of the people ran back to avoid the demon.

"D-dante," the woman whispered sweetly to her child as she continued to hug him, even though the demon was at her back.

But as the demon was about to hurt her, I acted quickly and cast a protective barrier over the woman and the child.

I stared back at the demon.

So the man was influenced by the dark mana of Azul. Such a sad fate.’ I thought in sorrow, performing a final prayer for the man who was now a demon. I stepped towards the demon, catching it off guard, and placed my right hand on its dark, burned chest.

"Rest in peace.

Holy art: blissful delusion"

I watched as the demon stopped moving and rested its head on my chest while its flames went off, and soon it started to disintegrate slowly.

After that was over, I walked towards the woman and the child. Even when she was at the point of death, she still hugged her baby very close to her.

"Please take care of him." She breathed out her last request and rested her eyes. It was heartbreaking to watch, but I made sure to comply with her last request. It was the least I could do.

"I will." I took the child gently as he stared at me with his red eyes while crying. This will be very painful for him. It was a miracle that he survived.

I started to make my way out of the barrier, but I was stopped by one of the dragon guilds.

"Halt. The child must be delivered to his excellency," uttered Arthur, as he planned to take the child from me and dispose of him. "So I ask you to give the child back, and even you must accompany, as your very unnatural feat showcased is very questionable."

"Or we will handle this by force, priest," he warned. I stood there, staring at him, as I unvarnished my chronicle and glared at him.

"I will do no such thing... The boy shall remain in my care, as you have no say in this matter, Arthur." I spoke with authority as my eyes glowed white. I continued on my way with the child in my arms, as one of the guild members wanted to stop me again.

It can’t be... Of course, that explains his massive show of power. It’s him, the living saint... Alfred Sarutobi's Arthur figured as he stood straight in respect while maintaining his composure.

"Let him go..." Arthur placed his head down and ordered his comrades. As they all went at ease and allowed me to pass. "Apologize, Father Alfred."

He finally He finally noticed. "Hmm," I thought with an audible chuckle.

"So... Dante... Hmm, I don’t know your last name, but how about I give you my last name? Let’s say Dante Sarutobi... How does that sound?" I said to Dante, as he first stared at me with his red eyes, Until he started to laugh and clap his hands in excitement, he liked the name.

"Hahahaha, so Dante Sarutobi it is!" I chuckled as I threw the baby up into the air and caught him back, hugging him.

'You know, for the new vessel of death, you’re very adorable.’ I chuckled as I walked back to the monastery.
