Episode 8: In The Nick Of Time.

She was trancendant. A speechless monument that could erase the breath of the toughest human away. They all stayed put. They all stopped breathing. They were afraid that the mere action of existing would cost them all their lives.

Tears of blood dripping down their cheeks, the stress peaked at that moment.

"..I hear the heartbeat of y'all. Are you afraid of what I can do? Do you feel like I'm Worst that you've ever seen?"

Despite looking so frail, Grorgorian Marrtellis had already won the social rank.

It was the their first experience with a being such as HER, a being greater than Gods.

From the sideline was Ley, shivering and crying in the arms of her mother.

The confidence she had withered a while ago.

She, who was considered the hope of Humanity, felt her own death one breath's away.

**Crack**

"Ohh? It seems my time is up already.. I held lesser than three minutes. That's not bad, I should adjust the power output next time.~~Which makes me think of something. November! Move forward.. I wish to, to speak with you for a moment."

Suddenly, Greorgorian Marrtellis' body started to crackle down.

Seeing her time going away, she wished to talk to the daughter that betrayed her.

"...I am.....here.."

"You've grown. I hear you've changed your name.. Do you think that you've cut off all links with me by doing that?"

Bestow couldn't speak freely, the aura Greorgorian Marrtellis was exuding was pressuring her to stay quiet.

"That was kind of rhetorical.. I know what you want. I know it all. To celebrate your growth, I am about to give you a gift.. I initially came to end the life of The Last Of Heiress of The Land Of The Living. But, I just changed my mind. The Black Dragon before me was doing quite some chaos I heard, because Adamas had killed her wife. I'll do y'all a favor and end her life too. Though, that won't change much to the reality. I will come back, and next time, with my real body."

As she turned her back, the pressure everyone was subjected-to lifted off.

And they all could watched the next scene.

"...Fucking hoe.. I hate you! I hate you!!"

Disturbingly screaming at Greorgorian Marrtellis, Maggie was furious.

Despite the million of deaths she caused, she was unsatisfatied.

Her enemy was unfazed.

"Rejoice, Little dragon. We'll meet again in The Land Of Death. And there, you'll be mine to taste.. It was a pleasure to see y'all, My Future Victims.."

With a weird weave of her hand, Greorgorian Marrtellis executed Maggie almost instantly.

And then, she disappeared with Maggie's body.

Which dropped back December who looked lost.

"..What just happened?", he asked as the situation looked dire to him.

•Three minutes ago

As he swapped position with his Mother, December teleported in an isolated place.

Looking around, he knew where he was.

"Welcome back, Bro.."

And behind him, a chillin' dude who looked rather chill.

"aAhh.. You are there, Octo. I guess Mother learnt the technique you've been developing. How much time will she have?"

Ignoring December for a while, the chillin individual was chewing on some chewy stuff.

"...nggh..This...tchik..nnghgnn....stuff...is good..."

And the minutes went by, but December was used to it.

October The Stranger never felt close to his Family.

He did not even considered Greorgorian Marrtellis his mother.

"She promised you something if you are helping her. I don't really care what but I need to know. Are you with her or against Her?"

Suddenly, October stopped chewing and the tone darkened.

"I was enjoing this and now I'm not. Decky, you are one big asshole..."

And December laughed.

"Haha!! I knew this would wake you up! How are you doing, Octo?"

Shaking hand like good old friends, December was actually really happy to meet October.

"I've been great Decky! I hope you too.."

As they laughed and chit-chatted together, both looked really happy.

"Greg wants to try invading the land of the humans again, it seems. I tried to figure out why but it looks like she won't spit the news.. I feel like you are part of this too, Decky."

"...I won't answer that. I think we are better off not sharing these kind of secrets."

**Crack**

"Looks like the technique did not hold more than three minutes; quite interesting. Been cool meeting you, Decky.. I'll be staying in the land of the death for a while, if you are back.. We should really go take a pint together!!"

Withering in the dark mold, December was nostalgic as he looked at October with some regret feeling.

And October was chewing back onto his chewy stuff, chilling and not caring as always...

•Now

December just spawned and he was lost.

As he took into consideration what had just happened.

He witnessed that Everyone was kneeling.

They were out of it.

Ley was trembling and crying in Gwenn Klauus' arms.

And most importantly, Maggie was gone.

December knew..

"Mother killed her, huh.. How ironic.. Mother must have sensed Isabelle DeLaCourte's soul been revived. She loves playing so much.. Well, too many things changed already.. But I need to stick to what I said. I can deal with the remnants of Isabelle DeLaCourte later. Right now, I need to get rid of the Last Heiress of The Humans, Ley Caydence Novembaria.."

Following the Ultimate Being Greorgorian Marrtellis came the Strongest Being December The Wrong.

One big threat after another.

It was time to end the deal.

It was time to take out the Vanguard Of Humanity; 'The Heiress'.

And unlike the former times where he always used a nick of his power, this time, December went all-out.

Surrounded by enemies, wherever he looked he saw insignificant lives roaming freely unecessarily.

Bestow, having come back to her senses was the first to react.

Joining Gwenn Klauus' side, she came to the rescue of The Last Heiress.

"November...? This won't change a damn thing. I am going to kill all of you today, right now!"

Speaking with hatred, December went berserk.

He saw red.

Busting of strength and malice, December was preparing himself to attack.

And if he did, -Everyone would have died that day.

But the gears of time worked out pretty fine, the fate of the living was not of ruin.

Martius' presence, he made sure no one especially Greorgorian Marrtellis noticed him, was a variable Adamas had taken into account to save 'the heiress' from Decemeber.

"Big Brother!!!"

In that split of second December was distracted by the youngest's voice, Martius used the momentum to Activate a device.

And deep down, Martius felt apologetic towards this big brother.

No, more precisely, Martius felt pity towards December.

Looking how alone he looked from afar.

The scene was devastating to Martius who wished for Happiness to his brother.

And a bright light lit, it was so bright that it envloped the dark aura of Decemeber.

"This may seem like a prison to you. But I hard-hope that you will rest. See you later, Big brother."

December disappeared again.

But this time, it was the work of Martius.

Hence making it official:

Greogorian Marrtellis lost the battle.

Thus, marking the end of Ley's birthday party.
