TerraWorld~The Final Guardian (#7)

Chapter 23

Brookhaven was eerily quiet in the aftermath of the battle. The storm outside had subsided, leaving behind a city battered but still standing. In the remnants of what was once the grand library, the team gathered around a large, tattered table, its surface strewn with maps, ancient texts, and scattered notes. Despite their recent victory, an undercurrent of unease lingered in the air.

Enna, her brow furrowed in concentration, examined the scattered documents. "We've managed to fend off Glitchtrap's forces for now, but we need a plan. The storm might have ended, but Glitchtrap is still out there."

Kevin, seated on a nearby chair, was deep in thought. "We need to understand what we're truly dealing with. We've got to get to the root of Glitchtrap's power."

Amidst their strategizing, Violace, who had been unusually quiet, finally spoke up. "There's something important I need to share with all of you."

The room fell silent, the weight of Violace's words hanging heavily in the air. His demeanor was more serious than usual, and the team sensed that what he was about to reveal was of great significance.

"I've been hiding something from you all," Violace began, his voice steady but laden with gravity. "I am a Demon Slayer."

The revelation hit the team like a thunderbolt. Violett, who had been recovering from her injuries in the corner, looked up with a mix of surprise and concern. The others, equally stunned, turned their attention to Violace.

Enna's eyes narrowed, a mix of disbelief and frustration crossing her face. "You're a Demon Slayer? Why didn't you tell us before? We could have used that knowledge in our fight against Glitchtrap."

Violace met her gaze steadily. "I was afraid. Being a Demon Slayer is not just about having power; it comes with a burden. I didn't want to involve you all in something that could put you in greater danger or lead to more loss."

Kevin, who had been silent, finally broke the silence. "So, what does this mean for us? How can your abilities help us against Glitchtrap?"

Violace took a deep breath, his expression serious. "As a Demon Slayer, my abilities are designed to combat demonic forces and malevolent entities. If we can harness these abilities, we might be able to weaken Glitchtrap's power and deal with the corruption that's been spreading."

Stacy, who had been absorbing the information quietly, stepped forward. "If you have these abilities, we should use them to our advantage. Keeping secrets isn't going to help us win this fight."

Violace nodded, understanding the concern. "I agree. I should have revealed my true nature sooner. I'm ready to use my abilities to help us fight Glitchtrap and restore peace."

Ethan, who had been listening intently, spoke up. "We need to regroup and come up with a new strategy. With Violace's powers, we have a new advantage. But we need to be prepared for whatever comes next."

The team members exchanged glances, their resolve strengthening with the newfound knowledge. Despite the weight of the situation, there was a renewed sense of hope. Violace's revelation, while shocking, provided a crucial piece of the puzzle in their fight against Glitchtrap.

As they began to discuss their next steps, Violace took his place among the team, ready to face the darkness with his newfound allies. The battle was far from over, but with Violace's powers and the team's determination, they stood a fighting chance.

The storm outside had left its mark, but within the hearts of the team, a new resolve burned brightly. Together, they would confront the darkness and strive to bring peace back to Brookhaven.
