Will of chaos

We were facing Haku who was looking at us with a smile, Caitlyn floating on her pillow through the bars just like I do.

“Are we inside my mind again?” (Haku)

“No, this prison responds to my will, if I want I can go wherever I want, no matter the obstacles.” (I)

“First of all I want to know how you managed to scramble your thoughts? It took me a few hours to notice what you did.” (Caitlyn)

“Hahahahaha…” (Haku)

“A little meditation and hypnosis, the trick itself is simple once you know it, but the secret is how not to be negatively affected.” (Haku)

“Do you still want to resist?” (Caitlyn)

“I’m not resisting, I’m just not going to do anything to help them.” (Haku)

Haku raises his hands in surrender, but the smile on her face is mocking, she doesn’t believe we can get anything useful out of her mind.

“You know, I thought you’d be more cooperative after we removed the presence in your mind controlling your mind.” (I)

“Poor boy, I always knew the mark in my mind, I accepted it willingly knowing exactly what I would do, just a safety measure to protect my mind and reassure my loyalty, a small price to pay for all I’ve achieved there.” (Haku)

“Even now you want to keep quiet?” (I)

“I said it wouldn’t do any good to talk to her.” (Caitlyn)

“Actually it was useful, very useful…” (I)

She seems to mock us with every sentence, but I can’t argue with her loyalty to the cause she believes in if she willingly accepted that echo of will in her mind.

“Make no mistake, she has no loyalty, she likes what they can provide for her.” (Caitlyn)

“What’s wrong with that, they provided me with excellent resources for my research and valuable knowledge, not to mention the unrestricted freedom I was always denied in our original world.” (Haku)

“You’re right, loyalty means nothing, but I’m grateful for everything you’ve provided for me, and for that, I keep my mouth shut.” (Haku)

“If you don’t have loyalty, then why not say what we want to know? It can’t just be out of gratitude.” (I)

“I’m going to die anyway or be trapped forever, you won’t allow me to continue with my research and you won’t release me, so it doesn’t matter if I cooperate with you or not.” (Haku)

“You can kill me, torture me, rape me, invade my mind, or whatever you want to do, those things don’t bother me, there’s nothing you can do or not do that will make me cooperate… Zzzzzzz… Zzzzzzz….” (Haku)

“< Sleep >” (Caitlyn)

“Let’s go ahead with your plan.” (I)

“I’ll try again, but I don’t know if I’ll get anything.” (Caitlyn)

“< Nightmare World: Mind Invasion >” (Caitlyn)

“…” (I)

A black mist comes out of my sister’s body surrounding both of us, just when the mist disappears we are in what looks like a classroom worthy of a horror movie.

It would be a normal classroom with desks and chairs for the students, as well as a larger desk for the teacher, with windows on one wall and a door on the other wall.

But the problem was that the legs of the chairs and tables were bones, the benches and table top were made of flesh with veins still pulsing through them, a smell of blood everywhere and the few books had covers made of skin.

“I’ve seen worse, it won’t affect me with something like that.” (I)

A few years ago the nightmares that Caitlyn gave me with her curse for my training were far more terrifying and horrible than this bizarre thing I’m seeing now, for me who ripped the bodies of so many creatures to pieces, saw Lilith torturing so many criminals and drank blood daily, these things can be bizarre and nothing more.

“Her will of hers is strong, but she isn’t resisting.” (Caitlyn)

Caitlyn snaps her fingers and the classroom of horrors disappears leaving only a stark white room with a round table in front of us, three chairs around the table where I move to grab a seat and my sister lies down on top of the table, in the last chair already had a version of Haku with white skin, curly brown hair and light brown eyes, she wore black clothes and a long light gray lab coat.

“Like my mind?” (I)

“There’s little you can do that could affect me in the slightest and I’m sure you can’t do anything to affect her.” (I)

“I just wanted to make a joke, your minds are very strong, I know I can’t do anything against you, so do your worst.” (Haku)

She is not afraid and says what she thinks without caring about her own future, I don’t think we are able to make her change her mind about helping us, because she knows that the only path that awaits her is death.

While I was talking to her, she took a look at my sister, she had her eyes closed and seemed to be doing nothing, but I’m sure she already started working.

After a while she opens her eyes and snaps her fingers again, this causes everything around us to shatter like a mirror, the shards falling and turning to dust to reveal the same prison cell we arrived in just a short while ago.

“Anything?” (I)

“Nothing, her mind is a labyrinth and for each memory, or at least the vast majority there are 5 different versions, I can’t keep a chronological order or know which of the versions are real, she somehow sees everything as memories in her mind.” (Caitlyn)

“Even if I had her days in my hands, it wouldn’t accomplish much, it’s not a problem in ability or power, her mind has been trained to be a mess all along.” (Caitlyn)

“I think we’d better stick with your plan.” (Caitlyn)

“Very well, can you wake her up?” (I)

“< Disperse >” (Caitlyn)

“…” (Haku)

She opens her eyes a little sleepy and rubs her eyes, then breaks into a big smile, but before she opens her mouth to do some provocation, her head breaks into 4 pieces falling to the floor before I shake my hands to clean the little blood that stayed in my clutches.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Ding!

“Okay, just let the Dungeon eat the rest of the body, let’s go somewhere different, preferably nicer.” (I)

“Could it be the crystal garden? I like that place.” (Caitlyn)

“Could be, but let’s eat something first and get out of here, the smell of her blood is disgusting.” (I) 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

I still don’t know what they put in their own bodies, but the smell of their blood is horrible, Haku’s blood seems especially disgusting to the point where I have doubts whether I should call this blue and purple liquid blood.

————-

That afternoon I was in one of the rooms in the castle looking at someone lying on the crystal bed, it was Haku’s assistant still unconscious.

“The heart?” (I)

“No, it has 2 of them and it wouldn’t be something deadly, the brain where the core is should do.” (Natasha)

“All good.” (I)

I pull out my dagger and run through the head as quickly as possible until it cuts through the point on the other side.

Ding!

God of this I remove the dagger and look at her body, the blood seems to stop flowing through her body, and I also feel the vitality emanating more and more from her body to disperse in the surroundings.

“Do you need anything else?” (Natasha)

“No, I have everything I need, I’m just thinking about other things.” (I)

“Are you coming along?” (I)

“Yeah, I don’t have anything to do anyway.” (Natasha)

“The body can leave it there, there are other things I need to do.” (I)

—————

1 hour later.

I was in a room of the Communal Temple inside the Dungeon City, I was alone waiting until she appeared.

“Why are you looking for me? Have you changed your mind about Souls?” (Thalia)

“Good afternoon, Miss Thalia.” (I)

“I’d like to say I’ve changed my mind, but I’d be lying, I still need those Souls I mentioned.” (I)

“I already said about the current states of their Souls, they need…” (Thalia)

“I know, so I want to create a solution, we can…” (me)

I spend several minutes explaining my plan to Thalia, then hand her an Orb with all the Souls of these abominations except for the Souls of Haku and his assistant who still have some use for me.

“Can we do it this way?” (I)

“We can, but it all depends on my Goddess, if I accept it doesn’t matter, my Goddess is the only one who will make that decision.” (Thalia)

“So that’s what I’ll do.” (I)

After talking with Thalia I was anxious to resolve this soon, so I went to the main hall of the Communal Temples where the statues of the Gods are, I stop and kneel in front of the Statue of the Demon Goddess of Death, Kalistos.

Your approval will help me in many ways, while avoiding useless conflicts, at least I hope everything works out.

When I opened my eyes and the landscape had changed, I knew it had worked.
