A/N: There's going to be a bit of a new style of writing for the novel this chapter. The narrator will explain the characters actions in normal font as usual. However, the narrator will also be explaining other information using italics without quotations like that which are meant to explain concepts to the reader.
Last chapter, Karia found the black and red armored "monster" from her past- and tried to fight him. However- that led to her getting her heart destroyed- and for Seric's soul to vanish into thin air...
Narrator's P.O.V.
"Pal #1- I DID hear you but I can't see you so please just shout out again Denzil lane is huge ya kno- AH!" King Metallica shouts out as he exits from a nearby alleyway- but stops as he turns to see Karia and Seric soaked bodies lying on the rain covered floor.
Meanwhile- the black and red armored spearman stops retreating through a separate alleyway when he hears King Metallica arrive.
"O-ohhhhhhh... I know father said to retreat- but... seeing one such as that "King" who falsely praises father and his true sons in despair would be... so good. Also- being able to see Karia struggle for life due to her cybernetic-things keeping her alive for longer... there's just too much here~" The man thinks to himself as he starts to uncontrollably shake, and he turns his unarmored head back towards the two bodies of his victims.
"That's... blood! PALS!!" King Metallica cries out as he charges towards the two, until he falls to his creaky knees when he reaches the barely gasping Karia's side.
"What's wrong?!?! What happened- speak already!! Pal #2- ...no, your eyes are... you can't even breathe! Wait... what's that...?" King Metallica says uneasily as he glances down towards the pitch red spot on Karia's upper chest- to see that it leads to a tear in her flesh.
"You're wayyyyyyy too fast... jeez I could barely even keep up there. Do these guys being in danger power you up or some- huh?" Amandeath groans as she exits from the same alleyway King Metallica exited from a minute later. However she stops dead her tracks as she looks ahead to see King Metallica quickly wiping his hands off with a tissue he pulled out from his robe.
He then swings his head down to look at Karia's wound, and at the same time easily pries it open with his metal fingers.
"S-Se-ric..." Karia just barely mumbles to herself inaudibly as tears fall down her face.
*SHLICK...*
"Here it comes..... mhmmmm... forgive me father, I'll leave soon enough..." The armored man starts to moan as he digs his armored hand into a open slot in his armor that leads to his bare crotch.
"A-AH O-OH OH GOD!!!" King Metallica wails out as he sees what happened to her heart- and at the same time removes his hand from her. He then digs his arm under her body to carry her with him as he stumbles towards Seric.
"...What happened?" Amandeath asks, being more on guard than usual due to his unusually panicked tone. At the same time, King Metallica analyzes Seric's body to see his open blue eyes have dimmed out entirely- and that he's not breathing whatsoever.
"H-HANG ON PALS!!! AMANDEATH CALL FOR HELP IMMEDIATELY! I-I- CAN'T... I CAN'T HELP-" King Metallica cries out as he spins his head back around to her, then quickly spins it back to the two.
"Hey hey just, calm down, what's going on... ohhhh fuck. But... you should know that no medical people are in this area..." Amandeath says in a serious tone, only being a bit startled by the scene as she hasn't realized how bad it truly is yet.
