Together We Level Up

Chapter 7: Prologue End

"Heh?"

Diablo still not being able to believe what he heard asked the man who was announcing,

"What do you mean you United all the countries?"

" What I mean is that we won ."

It all made sense now...

The appearance of the gates resulted in many people developing special powers. Of course, many people used them to save themselves and their loved ones, while others used them to fight the monsters. But there was one thing he missed. No, rather he didn't want to believe was possible, the truth he chose to ignore. The truth being that no matter the times, there are always those who will stop at nothing to eliminate people who won't submit to them and delude themselves to chase after the false notion of being the one in power.

'They have mages... People who can use magic... Meaning they have hunters among them... Which would also mean that there are other types of them...'

Diablo looks around to check.

'But why are there only a few of them here??? And why only mages??? It's not realistic for a group of terrorists to only come across mage types... There should be a variety of them here... Not just that there are only fire users... That would mean.'

Diablo realized now what was truly happening here. His eyes widened as finally arrived at the truth.

" You..."

The man replied,

" Yes, at this very moment, when you are being executed for your sins, we are working..."

The truth now confirmed, Diablo's theory checked out.

' So that's how it is.'

The truth was that, somehow, through some bizarre way, these people gained a lot of hunters... Rewards, threats, loyalty, the reason doesn't matter. They used the hunters to win the war they were fighting for years in a matter of days. And sent the others without powers to take care of the people traveling across borders so that the news doesn't spread.

All the hope of solving any misunderstandings or making peace was washed away in an instant. Diablo realized that requesting for anything from these people was pointless because what they wanted was the end of people other than themselves. They didn't care for the survival of the planet. What they cared for was something as trivial as territory and lordship over the said territory.

Now, the rage that was being kept in check now had no reason to be suppressed.

With his face now distorted, Diablo screamed at those people with no intention of keeping anything within himself. He knew that he was going to die now, so at least he wanted to die by letting these monsters know what he was actually thinking.
