Chapter 383 - Death
Chapter 383 – Death
"I-I don't understand," Ely said. "Didn't you already come back from there once before? Why is it goodbye this time then?"
"That's because… when we kill Jha'Akim, the force from the explosion will destroy the wormhole and there will be no way for me to return back," Ning said.
"Are you sure? Maybe it won't, there's no need to say goodbye right now, right?" Anya asked worriedly.
"No, I'm sure," Ning said. "Because that was exactly what the system said would happen as well."
"No, please. I'm sure there are other ways," Ely begged.
"Master, if you're going, then take us with you," Night spoke up from the side as well.
"I can't do that. Outside of this place, you will just be a normal beast with a limited lifespan. I won't be able to take care of you at all," Ning said. "Besides, you guys have a family now, you belong somewhere. I can't keep you with me all the time."
"In fact," Ning brought his arms forward and swung it in front of them. "You guys are free now."
Night, Aegis, and Blue looked in shock as they felt the 'compulsion' deep inside of them disappear.
Ning set them free from the domination he had put them under. "Grow, and bring back the majesty of the beasts that had been lost to this land."
Ning then turned to Anya and poured out everything he had in his inventory. He was giving almost everything to her.
"Anya, I task you with the responsibility to find cures for the hybrids that will appear amidst the tragedies in all the different places," Ning said. "Also, take care of the others, as you will now be my only disciple."
"Yes, master," Anya said through her tears.
"You guys, take care of this place while your grandfather is gone. Make him proud," Ning said to the Klavians.
"Yes, Inikaka," they replied.
Finally, he turned to Ely. "It might take me a while, but I promise, I will come back to find you, so… just wait for me, okay?"
Ely nodded, unable to make any sound.
"Alright, this is goodbye, but it's not forever. If I do what I'm going to do… there is a good chance I will get to see you all guys again… in the future," Ning said.
Ning's body disappeared and a voice came from Hyesi. "So, see you guys later," and then they left them, never to return back.
Ning teleported Hyesi midair, a little further away from Jha'Akim who was desperately flying through the air towards one of the beasts that were close by.
If he got his fill with this one and maybe a few more, even Hyesi probably wouldn't be able to kill him.
"You!" Jha'Akim got angry when he saw Hyesi again and was about to teleport away when Hyesi suddenly threw a spear at him.
Jha'Akim stopped himself from teleporting and instinctively caught the spear and looked at it. It was just a normal wooden spear.
He crushed the spear into smithereens and asked, "What were you trying to achieve?"
"Doesn't matter," Hyesi said.
"You already fell into our trap anyway." A voice appeared from deep inside of Jha'Akim, terrifying him.
"What?" he looked around, and used his divine sense but he couldn't find him.
"No need to look anywhere. You just need to die."
Jha'Akim's vision changed as he was seeing a different part of the sky now. He sensed something behind him and tried to get away but someone caught him, and suddenly, his vision changed once more.
The new scene he saw was a scene of terror for him. Massive amounts of glittering lights came rushing at him and even hurt him.
He used his Qi to block the attacks and was easily maintaining himself. However, he felt the person holding him start pulling him down.
"No," Jha'Akim shouted and disappeared, appearing inside the Origin realm. However, just as he did, he teleported once again, directly in front of Hyesi once more.
Hyesi got close and grabbed him once again, pulling him further below. Jha'Akim tried to disappear away again, but it wasn't working. Every single time, he was brought back straight to the same place, grabbed by the same person, getting pulled once more.
He was getting pulled further and further in until he felt a very unusual feeling of gravity reversing as the pulling force suddenly became the pushing force.
He still had plenty of Qi to run away and tried to do so. However, even as he thought and did that, his body didn't disappear.
"No!" Jha'Akim cried out. "TELEPORT!!" he shouted, but his body, nor his system could do that.
Despite the wormhole being right next to him, the distance the wormhole was considered to have was many, many lightyears long by the system and thus he couldn't teleport out of the place.
Since he couldn't do that anymore, he tried to force Hyesi off of him, but he also had a hard time doing that as no matter how hard he hit Hyesi, he didn't let go.
Hyesi was fully prepared to kill himself, so a few hits weren't going to make him stop anymore.
"Stop!" he shouted. "Stop! Don't kill me. I don't have any more lives."
"No, you will die. You will die for what you did to those people. You will die for what you did to those beasts," Ning's voice came from deep inside of him. "You will die for what you did to my people."
"No, I can't die. Not like this, please. I beg you. I'm sorry," Jha'Akim started getting desperate.
"Apologize with your life. Die and be gone. Your death shall bring salvation to the planet in more ways than one," Ning said. "After all, while killing you, we will also bring back balance to the planet."
"Your death shall be the event that propels Kumia to a better future," Ning shouted.
Then his voice got soft and somber one final time as he said, "Hyesi, do it."
"Yes, Inikaka," Hyesi said.
"No! NO! NOOOO!" Even as Jha'Akim shouted, Hyesi didn't leave him and simply let his body and soul get disrupted enough that he couldn't not longer handle it anymore.
BOOM!!!
And then, Hyesi died, and he killed Jha'Akim with him.
