Fate's Worst Children: Destruction

Chapter 30

In the labyrinth-like roads of the underworld realm, Guxav, Lobin and Faier arrived at the place where the Acland clan were.

"What is this place? It's... dark and ominous." Faier said it out loud.

"Hmm? You noticed that there's still lights in the underworld despite being a corrupted realm?" Guxav raises his eyebrow, impressed at Faier.

"Yes. Lobin taught me how to be observant at all times." He answered and smiled sheepishly.

"I must say, brother... You're raising a spirit that can be resurrected when the time comes, and our father will give him a blessing to do so." Guxav claps his hands in sincere admiration.

"This brat deserves another body and I'll train him until he becomes strong like me."

"But why is this place darker?" Faier tugs Guxav's sleeve.

"Because this place is where souls don't receive a proper burial or respect before, they leave the living world. It's called the Space of Wail. They're suffering more than the other guys in this place. They became the wanderer of this realm, trying to enter other places that the souls get into so they wouldn't have to disappear slowly and have a simulation of having pain as if they still have their bodies." He smiled evilly.

Though the boy doesn't have a physical body, he felt uneasy because at the end of this little mission, Guxav is still one of the leaders of the underworld.

"How can we find their souls?" Lobin asks nonchalantly, unbothered at what his brother had said to the boy.

"Anytime now... And..."

A black shadow from the ground is slowly rising and forms into a three-legged crow. Its eyes are red and can pierce right through your soul. Faier hides behind Lobin.

"My... Liege..." The crow said.

"How's everything down here? Any souls that are still trying to escape from your grasp?" Guxav crosses his arms as he starts a casual conversation.

"They're doing the usual deeds, my liege."

"Haa... That must be sucks for your job. Don't worry, I'll just tear them apart, so they won't have a chance to go up in the heavens." Guxav grinned.

"My liege, I'm here to serve you. You don't need to be involved with this personally. It will be problematic for the other guardians here in the underworld. For they will see that this is favoritism." The crow expressed its worries to its leader.

"I'm one of the pillars here. They wouldn't question my decision because I can see who is deserving of my help."

"My liege..."

"Now... The reason why we're here is.. You remember Koryn? The God of fire and violence?"

"Yes... He's your older brother back when you're with your hypocritical sisters and brothers."

Guxav laughs, "they will hear you, my dear servant."

"I'm just speaking the truth, my liege."

Guxav laughs harder but when his eyes landed on Lobin who's already waiting for him, he clears his throat and fix his composure, "I'm here for the Acland clan. One of Koryn's apprentices used to be part of that clan was abused by them. He wanted justice for his apprentice."

"But... The clan is already here at this place, my liege. They can't be suffering with the things I've been putting on their souls." The crow answered.

"He wanted them gone even here in the underworld. He will erase their existence so that they will not receive another chance for redemption and reincarnation." Guxav explained.
