Cursed Sorcerer King Of The Arcana

Chapter 19

Alice just couldn't understand what had happened. Everything had happened too fast for her. This morning her papa came to get her from her school telling her that they needed to leave. So they left. They had made their way to the bridge but those people-things stopped them. Her papa looked worried and scared, he quickly told her to come with him. Since then they had been running away. Soon it got dark and her papa went around knocking on doors trying to get people to open them but they didn't. Alice couldn't understand why they did not. When they finally did it happened. Something stabbed her papa and he fell to the ground. He was grabbing his side, his white shirt was slowly turning red.

Maresato: A-Alice.

Alice: Papa!

Maresato: I need yo-you to hide somewhere. 

Those were the man's last words as his white shirt was soaked with fresh blood. It was too much for the child's mind all she could do was cry and call for him. The sound of the child crying attracted the attention of the walking corpses. A few corpses already made theirs to the crying girl. She hugged her father's corpse harder wishing for a miracle.

Gojo: Calm your crying child.

Alice looked up. The corpses were no longer there in their place was a tall man with pure white hair. He wore a blindfold on his eyes. He wore black pants and a dark blue turtleneck with a long coat and black shoes.

Alice: M-My papa.

Gojo: Remember what he said. You have to get away from here.

Alice: I don't want to leave my papa.

Gojo walked to the side and grabbed a white bedsheet. He placed the sheet over the dead body. He picked the body up and moved to the side. He looked down at the heartbroken child.

Gojo: Follow me.

Gojo snapped his fingers and a perfect area was dug with a proper dept. He gently placed the body in it. With a wave of his hand dirt covered the body and filled the hole. Gojo felt the child grab onto his pants as she watched it all happen. He could hear her sniffing and crying as she mourned for her father.

Gojo: Your papa was a good man. He protected you till he could not any more.

Gojo got to a knee and looked at the child.

Gojo: To respect your papa's last wish. Do you want to come with me?

Gojo offered his hand the child latched onto it. Grabbing it with all her strength. Gojo placed an arm behind her knees and lifted the child. He put a hand on the child's back slowly comforting her. Many of the corpses could not enter the gate due to his infinity. The bodies began to fall one by one with bullets to the head. Gojo looked at where they came from and saw Kohta firing them.

Gojo: I should have told that maniac not to shoot. Well, can't help it now. 

Gojo walked out of the yard his infinity keeping the undead at bay. He signalled Kohta to stop shooting. The boy stood there for a minute before he ran inside presumably to help the others to load up the car. Suddenly the undead surrounding Gojo were turned to paste. The young girl finally pulled herself together as she looked around.

Alice: Are they gone?

Gojo: At the moment.

Suddenly they heard the barking of a dog which caught their attention. The dog seems to be barking at the corpses behind Gojo. 

Alice: Doggy!

Alice tried to reach out for the puppy. It had a white fur body and dark fur on its ears with shining yellow eyes. Gojo bent down and brought Alice close to the puppy that eagerly accepted the embrace. Gojo could see the rest loading up. He took the child and the puppy in his arms and jumped on the side wall. He began to walk slowly trying to enjoy the late-night air.

Gojo: Are you scared child?

Alice: I am. What about you?

Gojo: These things don't scare me.

Alice: Really?

Gojo: Really. I fought bigger and badder things than them. By the way, I never asked for your name.

Alice: My name is Maresato Arisu. What is your Mr?

Gojo: My name is Gojo.D.Asura.

Alice: Wow~ That's a cool-sounding name.

Gojo: Alice is also a cool name. Do you know the meaning of your name?

Gojo felt the girl shake her head saying no.

Gojo: The word Alice means noble or of a noble rank.

Alice: What does noble mean?

Gojo: Noble is a rank that is given to people who are admired by others. 

Alice: Oh~ I got to pee.

Gojo stood still with a horde of undead on the road next to him.

Gojo: Excuse me?

Alice: I got to pee.

Gojo looked around as he tried to figure out what to do. He looked to his side and found a large bush inside the garden of a house. 

Gojo: Alright I am going to lower you into to bush. When you are done, call for me.

Alice: What if they come for me?

Gojo: Alice. As long as I am near you nothing will ever even come close to hurting you.

Gojo's words made Alice trust him completely even though they had met only a few minutes ago. He lowered her into the bush as he covered the child with infinity for protection. After a few seconds, Alice called for him. Gojo lowered his arm and she grabbed onto it bringing her back to him.

Gojo: Are you done?

Alice nodded but looked around in worry.

Alice: Who are we going to get out of here?

Gojo: We have a ride to catch.

The sound of a car making its way towards their direction was heard by the two.

Gojo: That's our ride.

The tank car was making his towards them. Gojo noticed Saeko standing on top of the roof with Kohta positioning a shotgun on the roof between the beauty's legs.

Gojo:'I am going to teach that brat a lesson. No one is allowed between those legs other than me!'

Just as the car hit the first undead Gojo jumped. The car came to a halt as Saeko jumped down on the roar. The Divine dogs were summoned as they aided Saeko while Kohat shot many down. Gojo landed on the road. His infinity and summon kept the corpses at bay. He opened the door, placing Alice and the puppy inside. Rei waved at Alice making the young girl smile. Takashi was about to step out but Gojo stopped him.

Gojo: Grab onto her. It will be a bumpy ride. Shizuka-sensei! Ride!

Gojo closed the door as he turned to Saeko.

Gojo: Saeko. We are talking off.

Saeko pouted she just had begun to have fun. She quickly returned to the roof meeting up with Gojo.

Kohat: There are still a lot of them!

Gojo: I'll handle it everyone inside the car.

They did not question him and quickly entered the car. Gojo raised a finger and collected cursed energy over the tip of his finger before he changed it. The blue aura changed to a bright red one.

Gojo: Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.

In the eyes of everyone watching the horde of undead was in front of them one moment and the next it just ceased to exist.

Gojo's voice rang inside the vehicle.

Gojo: Drive. Let's get out of here.

It snapped Shizuka out of her confusion as she slammed her foot on the gas pedal.
