Soon the man who was beside Ryu, and was also the leader was the only one left.
The man trembled and cowered in fear as he saw Eve walking towards him. The scene looked really scary, it was as if looking at a death reaper.
Eve was walking towards the man. Ignoring the surroundings that was filled with blood and bodies of the men.
Eve didn't kill any of them. But she did beat them half to death. The men was now struggling to live.
Eve stopped her tracks when she was a step away from the man.
The man was so scared that he fell on his back. He really didn't think that the Messiah was actually so ruthless.
Eve crouched down to his level and stared at him for a long time, before finally saying something.
"What should I do to you?" she was smilling, but her smile only made the man more scared.
"You know, I am the reincarnation of the one they call the Judgement. And as a leader, where should I pass you. " Eve smiled icily. "I should pass you for the loyalty that you have taught your men. "
When the man heard this a smile appeared on his face. Was she going to forgive me?
"But you see. I only judge what I've seen. And I've seen your evil actions. Therefore, shall I pass you to meet you're maker or pass you to a slow and torturous death. Your pick. "
The man's face turned extremely pale when he heard her words.
She wants me to pick?
But wasn't the two options she gives me all lead to death?
"Oh, so you won't pick? Well how about I pick one for you. I would prefer the slow and torturous death, don't you? "
Eve soon stood up and grabbed a huge rock. The man already knew what she was going to do with it, and so he screamed. "No! Please stop! "
Eve moved the rock swiftly and attacked. But she soon stopped in mid way.
The man was so frightened that he pissed himself. After that he fainted.
Eve throwed the rock away. Soon her eyes turned back to being normal. She looked at Ryu who was standing and watching from the beginning.
"Did you really think, that I would kill the man? "
Ryu chuckled. "Yeah. "
Eve furrowed her brows. "Now, let me ask you. How do you know these shady guys? "
Ryu didn't respond. He turned his gaze away from Eve's eyes.
Eve was angered by this. She showed a really ugly expression. "Didn't you say you'll help me to find a way to go home? Why did you sold me off to this guy's then? "
"That was the plan in the first place. "
Eve widened her eyes, she backed away for a bit. She couldn't believe that Ryu was actually planning on selling her off.
And she thought, that all this time. Like her, he also felt something between them.
Ryu saw the shocked looked on Eve's face. He had an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry... I.... "
"I thought all this time! We had a special connection with each other! But, I was wrong! It was just me that thought if that! "
Eve clenched her chest. "I loved you! Ever since you saved me and stayed by my side."
Ryu was surprised to the out of the blue confession. But still, he calmed himself down and turned his back away.
"I'm sorry... But I can't...... I can't feel the same way..... And I will never will. "
With that he started to walk away.
The clouds were dark and as time passed, rain poured.
The rain was pouring heavily. Eve stood there rooted on the ground, as she felt like her world was just destroyed.
I shouldn't have said that.
Tears formed on her eyes. Her body started to feel heavy and her legs began to feel weak. All of the stress that was piled up inside her finally burst out from her. And she collapsed to the ground.
A splashing sound was heard. Ryu turned her head to see Eve lying on the ground.
He immediately went to her. Ryu pulled scooped her from the muddy ground. "Eve!? Eve! Hey! What's wrong!? Wake up! "
But no matter how much Ryu shooked her body, he still didn't get any response.
He quickly carried her and went straight to the palace.
...
After the physician finished examining Eve, he quietly went outside.
Hotaru, Ryu and Naru was waiting outside. When they saw that the physician was finished, and had left the room. They quickly went over to him.
"Sir, how is she? " Hotaru who was the first to approach asked, his face full of anxiety.
The physician didn't say anything, he only furrowed his brows and shooked his head.
The three of them was alarmed. By how the physician had act, it must be something serious.
"The girl, is really under great pressure. Her physical and mental state are both very weak now. If this goes on, I'm afraid.... The girl, will have to leave this world soon. "
Hotaru widened his eyes. He desperately held the physician's hands. "Sir. Please tell me everything that you know. "
The physician looked at the three of them and nodded. "The girl seems to be keeping all the problems inside her, leading it to stress. And something might have triggered something, for it to come out in the open. The girl must've been in great shock, for her to no longer be able to hold it all in. "
"But the main problem here is that. The girl is the Messiah or in other words the God Suzaku. Suzaku yields the all if the elements, but fire is the most powerful of them all. The girl is currently the Suzaku now. But with her mind in total mess, she can't concentrate on keeping the power in control. Leading it to run wild inside her. "
The physician walked outside and stared at the sky, before continuing.
"Having a fever might be just a minor illness. But for the girl, looking at what state she's in. Might become very dangerous. With one measly fever can even kill her. "
Ryu who was standing and listening to what the physician had said. Turned pale by every word.
"So do you mean to tell us. That because of Eve's unstable mental state, the fire element is running wild and causing the fever?"
