Chapter 129: [Black and White II!]
[Kite's POV!]
[Two sentences, Kite. Your girlfriend isn't being mind controlled. And your sister can be cured.]
The message appeared in front of me, making my eyes widen as I looked at them. Even though they were closed, I was still surprised to say the least.
Not because of the first message that told me of the betrayal of the girl that I loved but because of the second part that told me that there was a way that I could save my sister.
About the betrayal, I already had an inkling about it since my brother in arms told me about how he heard her bad mouthing behind my back. The reason why I was here was because I just got to know that the one who poisoned my sister was also this son of a bitch.
I wanted to know his reasons for doing so. Why did he hate me so much? And why does he push himself so much to make things hard for me and my sister? Just what is the reason behind his ideals?
-Clang!
-Clang!
With my 'eyesight' returning, I could easily 'see' the pattern with which that bitch was going to attack me. In a way, I was able to see much better than before. Perhaps I should blind myself completely from now on? Not a bad proposition.
-Clang!
-Clang!
The reason I wasn't killing the bitch was also because I still had lingering feelings for her. I had questions I needed answers to. Hence, I merely parried her attack, while moving closer to that guy with the ability to "charm" anyone with one direct look in his eyes.
"You monster! How dare you!!!" That bastard shouted, his voice echoing all around as he glared at me. His dirty red blood, pumped by his heart felt rather strange. I felt like I crush him like a bug as he slowly took a step back, one step at a time.

I was born a monster. A being that was created as a weapon for others to use. Never in my deepest fears I had believed that the things that would make me a monster, would be my boon in the god-forsaken world, where we are all pitted against each other to survive.
Even though I was the weakest among my own clan, due to my own self-restriction on consumption of blood that halted my growth, I was still a fair warrior. To protect my brothers in arms, I was ready to sacrifice myself in front of the unknown monsters that attacked us.
Though a certain being, [???]appeared out of nowhere, changed my fate as he upgraded the mere [Lower Mortal Gift] I had. It was because of him, that I was able to survive that mad world. And even now…
[Skill: Blood Control]
He was there, helping me out, by giving me what I needed the most. With a skill that was perfectly suited to my condition and my gift, he once again, made the near impossible things possible for me.
And that is why, I must ask…
"Why are you doing this?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? You are a monster, obviously you should die a pathetic death," that man in white, a guy who hated me for my existence, spoke as he looked at me. His eyes glared at me, as if I were his worst nemesis.
Though. I never asked the question to him.
[Let's just say… I am in need of strong individuals. Even though it's a lie, will you believe in it?]
He spoke again. And he told me a lie before asking me to believe in it. My eyes closed, narrowed at the message as I easily dodged my ex-lover's attacks, parried them, before pushing her away again.
[Just kidding. To be fair, it's all a bit complex to explain. Too many things are happening at the top here, and I am just preparing for the future. You can think of yourself as an investment for something that may or may not happen in the future. If you can reach the top and stand among the strongest, I will call out for your help. If you can't, then that's not a big deal.]
[What I gave you was something that I thought suited you the best. Just like I gave the others in other servers. You can use it to come out as the best, or to live on your own. You don't have to comply with my wishes either. Though if you want to repay me, then the best way is to get stronger. Also, you can call me out if things go south anytime.]
-Clank! X 7
-Clank! X 5
-Clank! X 3
I parried her attacks, as I read the long message he sent. From the way the entire text was written, I deduced a couple of things.
First was that he could see me. Second was that, what he gave me was pretty easy for him to give out. And the last thing was that he was planning something big. Something that not only involved me but many like me.
"All right. I guess, I will give my best," I said as I felt a bit relaxed and looked at the man in white with my eyes closed. A smile formed on my face, as if a burden was reduced on my shoulders.
"You said that you can help my sister, right?" I asked and the answer came.
[Already did. She should be coming here.]
My eyes widened in surprise as I looked at the text before I chuckled out loud and then spoke," is that so? Then I guess I should wrap things here as well. Can't let my sister see her brother killing someone."
I then tightened the grip on my sword, before beginning to take the first step towards the man in white. I might have only a few minutes… let's enjoy those with the color of revenge.
