Chapter 728: I’ll Revolt Against the World! Part VII

“Remember, Lucius, nothing’s impossible if we don’t give up. No matter how hard it is, you can always fight it, if your heart’s still in it!”

Then, he grabbed the sword that was stabbing the ground next to him. At the same time, Lucius reached him. Even though he was slower now, his fist was not. However, Wisana managed to dodge it.

6,986,552

Only a normal slash and it was this powerful. It was clear that Lucius’s defense had been reduced so much from the Over Limit of the Butterfly Effect that had created the horrendous field that weakened the enemy’s abilities.

Wisana did not hesitate to grab the new weapon that was called up from the Over Limit of the Element. He kept on pushing Lucius back without fail.

“...This brat!”

He could only grit his teeth. His attack was easy to dodge now. Not only his defense but also his other abilities were being consumed by the seal on his chest.

“I’ll keep fighting, Lucius. Even though there’ll be a lot of obstacles in front of me in the future and the world will turn against me, I’ll fight. What about you, bastard? You don’t even think about fighting. You only run with your tail between your legs. How dare you say that you’ll destroy this world, huh?!”

Wisana screeched while throwing another spear at Lucius’s chest.

“And you want to see it? The world that’s full of monsters like us? The twisted world with God knows how many kids would be created like you? Can you really endure that fact?”

Lucius said and shot his magic at the opponent. However, it was brushed off so easily. He was too weak to be Wisana’s equal anymore.

“I don’t want to see it and I won’t let it happen! I’ll change this world. I’ll destroy that idiotic circle. Not because the organization wants it, but the world. It may be twisted, but it still breathes!”

“Weak! You can’t do that, brat. How can a kid like you do anything? You can’t do it on your own.”

“Not only me.”

Wisana talked with a low voice. He tightened his grip on the sword in front of him.

The silver Claymore was engraved with a rose pattern. Lucius looked at the sword with wide eyes.

Viola’s sword...

“I’m not fighting this fate alone. I have my friends and so many people who are willing to fight and change this world back into what it should have been. I’m not like you. I’m not burying my head in my own stupidity, Lucius. Both the departed and the living are all helping me and pushing me forward. I have my friends who are still fighting alongside me. I have the future that’s waiting for us to reach it. I don’t care what you’re thinking or what you’re trying to do next, but I want you to know that I’m not alone anymore. I’m carrying the burden of the whole world. That’s why I have to move forward and protect it with all my might.”

His speed was incredible. It was only a matter of a split second before the man who just announced that he would protect the world reached Lucius. Lucius went quiet for a while. His facial expression and eyes did not look surprised, scared, or angry anymore.

His lips were stretched into a thin straight line. He slowly closed his eyes.

“...If you can do it, then show me, brat.”

Blade of Emperor

----------------

A huge slash parted the ground into two. The last blade almost tore Pride apart. The intense attack amazingly stopped even the rain. The sunlight that had not been here for three whole days started to shine again.

Amidst the silence, the fight was over. Sander, Thada, and Rattana could only look at the back of the two men in front of them. Aaron and Miguel did not even know if they should interfere with it.

The sunlight slowly shone on the two men who were staring at each other very closely. It was as if they were reading minds. Both of them looked so worn out.

“You’re crazy, brat.”

Lucius finally said with a normal tone. Wisana laughed softly.

“Yeah, everyone says so.”

The older man sighed.

“I’m not stopping, though, since I still believe that what I’m doing is not wrong.”

Wisana went quiet for a while before he nodded.

“Then, we’ll fight again.” He smiled so widely that the older man was surprised. “I told you, right, that I don’t care what you’re thinking or doing? I just want you to know that I’ll fight everything from now on, be it my own fate or the ones I consider enemies to this world.”

Lucius raised his eyebrow and shook his head like he did not get it.

“I don’t understand you, brat. This is your chance to kill me, your enemy, and you’re not doing it.”

“Because mom wouldn’t do that either.” Lucius halted. “I don’t know what you did to make my mom so pissed, but I think she only wanted to punch you and stopped it right there. She wouldn’t kill you. That’s the Wimon that I know.”

Those words got Lucius closing his eyes slowly before he turned around and said,

“You’re as annoying as your father, Vincent.”

Then, Lucius started to disintegrate into particles, just like Aaron and Miguel. Even though they were enemies, Wisana still smiled at them until they were all gone.

The man looked up at the sky again. The victory that seemed like a dream started to seep in. He pressed his dry lips together.

“I won, mom...”

“Mr. Vincent!”

“Boy!”

Then, he dropped to the ground. Luckily, Sander caught him.

“I won, Mr. Sander, everyone. I won. Can you see that?”

“Yeah, I see it. That was incredible, as expected of my beloved student.”

“What a fight, Mr. Vincent.”

“Agreed. You didn’t have to depend on anyone around here.”

“Watch it, Anne.”

In the end, Sander and Thada helped carry Wisana out of the field with smiles on their faces. Even though he won, Wisana was in such a sad shape. He endured three Over Limits at the same time and his items were all damaged.

Wisana really did put everything into this fight!!

“Let’s hurry out of here. The organization should be tailing us now.”

Rattana said. However, Wisana narrowed his eyes and shook his head slowly.

“Wait a second, Ms. Anne.”

He looked ahead as if he noticed something. He stared so hard at nothing that everyone was confused. There was only Thada who eventually took notice. Wisana quickly turned to him and ordered.

“Thada!”

“Roger that!”

Fire Wall

The magician quickly flicked his hand and cast a fire wall magic in front of them. The wall was so long that Rattana was even more confused.

Then, rays were shot from the sky and crashed on the ground before so many men and women appeared with serious faces. It was clear that they were the people from the organization who were finally able to penetrate Alice’s protection system.

And two of the men were familiar to Wisana.

One was Mavin, his father, and another was Laurent, the leader of the France branch.

They seemed surprised that the fire wall was there to welcome them the very moment they got here that they could not move anywhere. Laurent clicked his tongue with dissatisfaction.

“This is not wise, Mr. Vincent.”

Laurent said with a smile. Wisana also did the same.

“Sorry that I love doing stupid things. May I know what Mr. Laurent of that idiotic organization has with me?”

“Watch your mouth, Mr. Vincent.” Laurent smiled. “Your words are apparent that you’re about to go against the organization. If so, you’ll immediately be one of the international terrorists. For the best result, I think you should come back to the organization...”

“Alice, shut this damn foreigner up.”

“As you wish.”

“.....!!!”

The order got Laurent’s tongue. He tried to scream, but no voice came out of his mouth at all.

“Okay, now it’s better.” Wisana sighed among the laughter of his three soldiers. “You don’t have to say anything anymore and listen to me.”

Then, he asked to stand on his own before he pointed at Laurent.

“First of all, I don’t give a damn what you label me as. No matter what, I can’t bring myself to work with bastards like you. Second of all, you should have heard what I said to Lucius, so I won’t repeat it. I’ll fight my own fate. I’ll change the world and destroy every enemy of this world. I don’t care what you’ll do, if you interfere, that means we’re enemies.”

“.....!!”

Hearing that, Laurent screamed silently. Wisana laughed at his funny expression before he turned to the man at Laurent’s side, Mavin.

They stared at each other without saying anything.

Wisana seemed hesitant. In the end, he scratched his cheek and said,

“Does your face still hurt?”

Mavin was surprised by the question. He blinked several times before he realized that his son meant the ‘kick’ that he received three days ago.

“N... No, not anymore.”

The answer seemed shy. Sander laughed out loud.

“Shouldn’t the shyness be the other way around?”

“Ran!”

Mavin scolded his old friend who was so into laughing that Rattana had to elbow him so hard he bent down to remind him not to interfere with the father-and-son atmosphere.

“That’s good.”

Wisana said again and Mavin was startled. He turned to look at his son who was looking at him with a familiar smile. The smile that he first saw when the boy was still so little. Look at him now, he was even taller than him.

“Keep your pretty face well. There’re still so many punches I have for you, Pa.”

Even though it sounded aggressive, Mavin knew what his son was talking about.

“Don’t die until we meet again. Take good care of yourself. Don’t be so flirty. Look after Nam and Nat. And I’ll leave mom to you. Promise?”

Mavin laughed softly and nodded.

“Mhmm. I promise.”

Then, Mavin did not say anything more. Wisana and his friends slowly disintegrated into particles while the people of the organization were still trying to get through the fire wall and Laurent was still trying to talk.

There was only Mavin who stared at his son until he was completely gone. He sighed softly. The smile on his face was unexpected. His broken heart was mended just by the smile on that boy’s face.

The boy that he would forever love like his own son.

“Look at him, Winter and Viola, our son is on a move towards the future now to make your dream come true.” He smiled and looked up at the sky. “Please protect our son.”
