Mind Reality of Eclipse

Capture The Book ~ Chapter 47

Byleth walked inside the chapel with the book in his hands. The heroes stood there watching him in disbelief.

"But... how?!"

"Let's just say I got some help," Byleth replied with a smirk. Suddenly Veyle showed herself next to Byleth.

Alear shouted, "VEYLE!"

"Not a chance Alear, listen here you are all incredibly slow, it's quite impressive you're able to miss me entirely, now that the book is in my hands... I will be able to get the crown and soon, DOMINATION!" Byleth laughed.

Chrom shouted, "SNAP OUT OF IT BYLETH! THIS ISN'T YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO TARGET INNOCENT PEOPLE AND FOCUS ON POWER!"

"I'm a man with strong morals! I know EXACTLY what I'm doing, whether you like it or not..." Byleth said. Chrom and Byleth made eye contact with one another. Byleth became furious while Chrom became afraid.

Chrom muttered, "You changed so much ever since you came up with the idea of trying to be perfect-"

"It is no longer about being perfect, it's about gaining the ultimate power of the world, being more than the gods, being more than you pathetic heroes..." Byleth explained.

Alear shouted, "BUT THERE WAS NO NEED TO CORRUPT VEYLE WITH YOU SICKENING MINDSET!"

Byleth explained, "I'm only letting her work with me until I find you. Luckily you all came to me and now you can have her." Byleth removed the spell from Veyle and pushed her forward. She fell onto the ground and Alear dashed up to her. "You heroes have so many morals that regard the good of this world... wait till you find out how sickening this world can be."

Alcryst mumbled, "You're ruining the world more with this mindset of yours. This is tiring..."

"You want to repeat that again but louder Alcryst?" Byleth ordered. Alcryst was startled and paused in silence. Afraid to make another move. "Yeah, that's what I fucking thought."

Chrom sighed, "Imagine frightening others to speak their mind. You're disgusting."

"I'm only trying to be a good friend! You don't want me to be a good friend?" Byleth mocked.

Chrom yelled, "A good friend would NEVER downgrade someone else just because they were 'different' from them! What did Alcryst even DO TO YOU!?"

"Alcryst is a demon, you are all refusing to acknowledge it," Byleth grumbled.

Alcryst asked, "What demon!? You keep saying this toward me yet I am unable to understand what you're trying to get..."

Byleth explained, "You're nothing more but a demon in my path. You're all demons stepping in my way! TRYING TO CONVERT ME TO THINKING THE WAY YOU ALL DO! IT WON'T WORK! IT WILL NEVER WORK!!"

"YOU WILL HAVE OFFICIALLY GONE INSANE BYLETH!"

"CLEARLY NOT INSANE ENOUGH!!!" Byleth then shot a spell from his spell book. The heroes jumped back and saw the chapel detrioting. They all dashed out as Byleth got himself ready to fight again.

Alear shouted, "THIS IS CRAZY BYLETH! JUST FOR GOD'S SAKE SNAP OUT!!"

"Snap... out? SNAP THE FUCK OUT?! WHAT ON GOD'S NAME ARE YOU REMOTELY TALKING ABOUT?! I HAVE GOALS OF MY OWN AND YOU'RE ALL STANDING IN MY PATH!!" Byleth shouted. Then he shot a blast from the book. The heroes were all hit and they fell onto the ground. Soon Veyle was slowly waking up and noticed Byleth.

Veyle shouted, "TAKE THIS!" Then she shot a spell at him. Byleth fell backward and looked at her. He got himself prepared and took out his sword. Then he dashed to whip her; however, Veyle managed to get out of the way.

"YOU LITTLE BRATTY CHILD! GET BACK HERE!" Byleth shouted. Veyle looked at him and back at the heroes who were all on the ground. Byleth then swung his sword at her and Veyle fell backward.

Veyle grunted, "You'll never be able to take me alive, no matter how strong you are you will be defeated."

"GO AHEAD AND KEEP TRYING! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SUCCEED IF YOU KEEP THIS UP!" Byleth laughed. The swirls filled his eyes. Veyle slowly got up and was ready to protect the heroes from the insane Byleth.

Veyle muttered, "You're induced with Despair... why is that?"

"BECAUSE DESPAIR IS ALL YOU NEED IN THIS WORLD!" Byleth then slammed his sword against Veyle. She fell onto the ground and felt blood falling down from her head. She looked at him as he had a crazed smile on his face.

Veyle stammered, "That's what you want... to believe."

"COME ON NOW! PICKING A FIGHT STILL ARE WE?" Byleth asked. Veyle didn't reply and got ready. Byleth tightened his grip on the sword and got prepared to whip them. Suddenly Veyle blasted him away. Byleth fell onto the ground and nearly went over the cliff.

Veyle whispered, "Oh my god... I almost killed him..."

"WELL ISN'T THAT JUST FANTASTIC!? But I don't need to worry about you anymore... goodbye sweet people, you will all not be missed," Byleth mocked. Soon he threw himself over the cliff. Veyle dashed over to see where he was but... he was... gone.
