368 Chrono's decision-part three-

Bodhisattva looked at Demeter's white hair.

"I see, now I understand" He said.

"What is?" Asked Demeter.

"A goddess, from THAT world, right?" Said Bodhisattva.

Demeter was a little surprised by the sentence of the monk, however, she quickly recovered.

"I thought it was strange that a monk suddenly appeared before me… now I understand, you also came" Said Demeter.

Bodhisattva didn't answer; however, his silence was all the answer that Demeter needed.

"But if he is here… that means that Alfonso isn't the only person who can invoke heroes… and gods! … this is bad, I have to tell him!" Though Demeter.

"Who invoked you to this world?" Asked Demeter.

"I am sorry, goddess, I am afraid that I can't answer that" Said Bodhisattva.

"It doesn't matter, I will make you talk"

"One way or another"

Demeter walked towards Bodhisattva at a great speed!

Bodhisattva lifted his staff and advanced towards Demeter.

"[The third step]!"

OHHMMMMM

This time, the staff split in two.. and then… four…

Eight… sixteen…

Until there was almost sixty-four staff in the air!

"Hmph" Demeter looked at the staff in the air and she jumped without fear.

"For nothingness, we came…"

Her white eyes glommed din the dark night.

"And if nothing we become…"

Like a curse, the staff began to disappear one by one leaving a trace of dust in the air!

Bodhisattva furrowed.

The illusions disappear until Bodhisattva was the only one standing.

The chains of Demeter pierced fiercely towards Bodhisattva who encounter them with his staff!

*BOOM*!

Like a huge explosion, Demeter and Bodhisattva were send flying.

Both quickly reincorporate and engage in battle once more!

*BOOM*!

*BOOM*!

*BOOM*!

The ground shook and the small hills disappear while these two forces clashed against each other!

"[The fourth step]!"

"[The fifth step]!"

Bodhisattva attacks became reckless while Demeter still had her cold face on her.

"[The sixth-]"

Bodhisattva was about to engage once more when something stopped him!

"Too slow"

*PIERCE*!

In midair, an object flow to the skies.

"It can't be…" Murmured Bodhisattva.

He saw his own arm with his staff flying high above his head.

"You are becoming weaker by the time, Bodhisattva"

Bodhisattva lifted his head and saw Demeter grabbing his arm with his staff.

"The repercussion of betraying your faith is worse than you thought, right?"

*CRASH*

With a single movement on her hand, the arm of Bodhisattva exploded in a rain of blood while the staff fell to the ground.

Bodhisattva smiled bitterly after seeing his own arm exploded.

"There is no turning back…"

Demeter looked at the monk and saw that some of his skin was beginning to turn black.

"Altruism… unselfishness… gratefulness… they are the base of our religion"

"The day we give the back of any of those… then that's also the day were the Buddha will give us his back as well" Said Bodhisattva.

Demeter looked at the monk who looked young and healthy transform in an old man with charcoal skin color in a matter of minutes.

"Any last words?" Asked Demeter.

Bodhisattva looked at Demeter and smiled.

"I am just sad that I couldn't complete my mission" Said Bodhisattva.

"…" Demeter didn't say anything.

She knew that it was stupid of her to try to get something from this dying monk.

"But…"

*SWOOCH*

In a split of a second, Bodhisattva appeared in front of Demeter!

"I can't let someone as dangerous as you interfere with his highness plan" Said the monk.

"What are you-!"

Demeter was about to escape when she fell her powers leaving her body!

"AHHHH!" Demeter shouted for the pain while his consciousness began to fade.

"I will seal your soul… so no one will be able to rescue you…" Murmured Bodhisattva.

With those last words, the monk fell to the ground and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Your highness… please… live" With that though Bodhisattva died.

Demeter looked at her chest and saw a small pendant with a Chinese character on it.

"No…" Though Demeter.

However, she couldn't do anything. She fell to the ground, her eyes and hair returned to what it used to be and the pendant fell at her side.

"Alfonso…"

She lifted her arm to try to grab the pendant.

"Help…me…"

But she couldn't reach in time and her consciousness leave her body.

...............���...........................

[Back to the present]

"My father waked up just after that, he grabbed the pendant and the body of Bodhisattva and left the place, shortly after that, those bandits were after me" Said Noah.

"…" Chrono though for a second.

"Get me to the place were Demeter is" Said Chrono.

"Ah.. yeah sure…" Said Noah.

"I knew it… this guy is furious! This is my chance to get revenge!" Though Noah.

They walked for an hour before they arrived at the place of the battle.

Everything was destroyed, the only thing left was the body of Demeter lying on the ground.

Chrono walked to the body of Demeter and stood there for some seconds.

Noah felt the sadness on Alfonso's(Chrono's) heart and he walked towards him.

"Alfonso Lockheart, your loved one was killed by the same guys who did this to me, I know exactly how are you feeling" Said Noah while putting his hand on Chrono's shoulder.

"That's right! I am your friend!" Though Noah with a smirk on his face.

Noah felt the body of Chrono's trembling.

"He is about to break! This is the time to be friendlier and he won't have another choice but to help me!" Though Noah.

"Ha…"

However, just as he was about to say else, a strange voice came from the 'sad' Chrono.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

Laughter came from Alfonso!

"What" Though Noah.

"GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!" Said Chrono.

"This is the best news I had in a while!" Shouted Chrono.

"What the…" Murmured Noah.

Chrono turned and looked at Noah.

"You know~ I always wanted that this stupid peace-loving trash do something " Said Chrono.

"SEEK POWER"

HE smiled from ear to ear and lifted the body of Demeter.

"AND WHAT IS THE BEST MOTIVATION FOR SEEKING POWER!?"

Chrono looked at the sky with a mad face.

��VENGEANCE!"

"REVENGE!"

He lifted his arm to the moon.

"Finally! Finally! The gears of destiny will start moving faster!"

"And my time! No!"

"Our time, to pierce the heavens will come!"

"HAHAHAHA"

Chrono, laughed maniacally and he touched his heart.

"Oh Alfonso! My dear Alfonso!"

"I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO WAKE UP!"
