Beg

One of them turned behind to see chains formed from the blood spilt around the basement. As these chains sped towards the group, they all had the same thought in their mind-

'Damn- We poked the wrong nest..'

One of the boys hurriedly brought out a coin-shaped object with a button and clicked on it.

The coin began to glow and started floating in the air while it rang with loud siren noises, Raphael, seeing that the guy had alerted others, panicked. His face was as pale as it could be.

"Fly, Thunderbird!" He exclaimed, hugging on the blue bird's large body tight. 

The Thunderbird flew into the sky when a blood chain followed their trail, tying itself around the bird's legs.

Stuck in the air, it flapped its wings against the wind, screeching in pain as it felt the feather on its talons damage, but to no avail could the bird break free from the clutches of the chain.

Raphael, who was on its back, was terrified at the thought of him ending up as a dead meat. Fear clouded his judgement as he jumped upwards, using the bird's body as support when two white wings clad in thunder sprouted out from behind his back.

They fluttered apart as he jumped two feet into the air, looking below him, he found that the chains had stopped chasing him. 

It seemed that the chain that was supposed to target him had decided to eliminate the nearest enemy: the boy fighting on the ground.

In between all of this, Oslo was nowhere to be seen, it was as if he had run away. 

Two more chains formed when an electric bulb inside the basement lit up. It was like the place had been washed in blood- 

 Oslo who was supposed to be fighting with the golem down there awakened the gift of invisibility, making it easy for him to escape. This, however, led to all the chains diverting their attention to Raphael.

The boy fluttered his wings hard, trying his best to make distance from them.

He flew zig-zag, trying to confuse the chains when two more chains started coming towards him.

A lightning field of around 5 meters spread with every single chain disintegrating as soon as it entered the field. 

"Hahahaha..." Raphael started laughing as he turned around, trying one last time to kill Caedes.

He had lost all reasoning this time, except that he had to kill the boy. 

Oslo suddenly appeared behind Caedes with a golem summoned by one of the other boys. The Golem along with Oslo punched him together on the back of his head.

Caedes' flew at tremendous speeds as he crashed into the debris of the underground compartment.

Caedes growled intensely as he clutched his head, stunned by the attack.

Raphael called out to Samuel with an aggravated voice as he glared at him.

"What took you so long? If you had run away, I would have made sure to treat you 'nicely'." 

"I-It's not like tha-that Raph..ael! It's just that fear clouded my mind as I subconsciously tried to move away but I came back to launch an attack on him and I even helped you!" Samuel stuttered as he spoke nervously, trying to tidy his two-piece formals-

"I'll decide what to do with you later. Let me deal with him first!"

"Now then, let the game begin!"

Golden light covered his body with engravings as his eyes glowed golden.

The place turned eerily silent as the sound of ragged breathing could be heard near the debris Caedes was thrown into.

" Lightning Descent. " Raising his finger upwards, he muttered in a solemn voice as everything around them suddenly came to a stop,

Rumble

The whole place was illuminated as a thundering sound was heard and the whole underground compartment shook intensely.

A bolt of lightning cut open a wide hole in the roof of the basement as it struck Caedes.

"Aaahhh!"

Caedes screamed loudly, and his body convulsed. The boy smashed his body around the walls and debris but to no avail did the pain recede, his body had already been burnt severely without even being able to be identified.

 Only after what felt like screams of eternity did Caedes look at how he was all a bloody mess, his body unable to move.

As the smell of iron pervaded the surroundings, the boy teleported beside Caedes. Bending to the height of Caedes, he brought his dagger while pointing at the boy's figure.

For the first time in his life, Caedes had this feeling…This feeling of death. He always felt empty and even had suicidal thoughts a few times but this was the first time he felt fear. The fear of death.

"Beg."

Gulping the imaginary saliva down his throat. Caedes did something that made his entire being tremble, something he had no choice but to do...to live. Something that his conscience would never let.

He begged.

Unfortunately, his eyes were shown with a wronged light, Caedes had realised that this was Raphael's plan all along. Raphael slit the boy's throat as if his words of plea never even mattered as he smiled at the dying boy.

"Try begging now, oh great Caedes."

As the last of the light faded from his eyes, Caedes couldn't stop staring at Raphael. If there was another chance he could turn his life back. He, for the first time, wanted to kill someone!

The boy's heart stopped beating.

"There is something we don't know about the genes Caedes had, either the reports were wrong or it might even be related to his origins. There must be a piece missing that we do not know of...

I wonder about the fortune I'd receive if I were to be able to discover anything about his genes... " A sword appeared in front of him, hovering in the air.

Lifting his hand, Raphael grabbed the sword, wildly bringing it down at the boy.

A huge wound opened in Caedes' chest as Raphael continued slashing the boy.

'What a shame, there's no blood... It seems all his blood has evaporated because of the lightning bolt...'

"Raphael, hurry! Three people have just entered our 50-kilometre perimeter because Oslo pressed the emergency button. "

Raphael's face scrunched up. He hurriedly stood up and glanced at the place, passing Samuel a zip lock bag and ropes to pack Caedes inside, while also ordering him to run towards the seashore and dump his body deep into the sea.

Samuel nodded as he walked towards Caedes, wrapped him inside the bag and ran towards the other exit of the compartment that led them towards the seashore.

"Just go and dispose of his body, I'll be there soon after I erase all the necessary evidence of our arrival by my lightning attacks!!! " Raphael ordered.

In just a few minutes Samuel could be seen running on the soft sand under the moonlight as he ran towards the ocean, a blue locket flew out of his pocket and enveloped his body in blue light.

His body started levitating in the air as he flew towards the ocean. 

A while later, Samuel could be seen floating in the air, in the middle of the ocean, hugging a black bag with both hands.

Opening the zip lock bag, he dropped Caedes into the ocean, guilt clouding his judgment. 

After all, who would put up a fight against a noble's child, especially someone as strong as Raphael?
