Regrets (25)

While in a forest, training was beginning.

At the fourth level of the demonic forest the real conflict against the monster within the fog had begun. The Grand Imperial Prince and his subordinates began to enter the great fog.

The soldiers of the Grand Prince Imperial wore iron mats under silver armor that displayed the coat of arms of the empire in the center.

Some of these soldiers were shaking holding their weapons. Some of these soldiers used spears, sword and shield, bow and arrow, sickles and also used ax and shield. Even though these soldiers were well equipped, the fear did not disappear, on the contrary with each step that these warriors took towards the center of the fog, the more fear they felt of the monster inside the fog.

While his soldiers and disciples were afraid, the sect leaders, the Grand Duke and the Grand Imperial Prince did not show fear on their faces.

Most of the cult leaders showed empty faces perhaps to cover their fear, however the Grand Imperial Prince had a happy and strong look on his face and the Grand Duke showed an empty face, however his thoughts were strong, he had confidence in come back alive.

While various feelings were in the air, the corridor they were walking on began to become denser, this should be impossible since this area was affected by the magic lightning frost, which should prevent any type of anomaly from intervening in the affected area for a few hours, in however they didn't even have 2 minutes that they were inside the corridor.

The monster within the fog began its attack, thought the Grand Imperial Prince.

As the area was getting denser and the fog was entering more into that artificial corridor, a soldier of the Grand Duke was watching all this and thinking.

'It's getting colder here and the air is heavier, this is not normal'

This person in the family of Grand Duke Kirian Qinju entered the Kirian family a few years ago by means of marriage.

In his early years in the Kirian family it was as his dreams were, he lived happily with his wife, however 4 years ago when he joined the attack forces of the Kirian family he received 2 big blows, the first was that on the day of his last training to join the army his wife died giving birth before the right time and the second blow was the birth of his daughter.

After all this happened he asked his old wife's parents to look after the child, and after he drowned in the drinks he lived in bars, every day regretting not being present when his wife needed it most.

After almost a year of drinking, he decided to join the Kirian family forces and continue what he started, the forces took him back, and he returned to the army.

Day after day it passed and he tried to forget what had happened in his family, he sometimes without realizing it manipulated his memories to imagine his wife at home waiting for him, and for that to happen he worked as much as he could stay as long as possible. army as possible, just so as not to return to your home.

However two years ago the Kirian family's army gave him a forced vacation, and with that he returned to society, after returning, the brutal reality once again attacked him, he discovered that he was alone again.

After that he used his vacation to go back to drinking he spent practically all his vacation drinking and blaming himself for not being close to his wife and not having enough power and money to change what happened at that time.

When his day came back to the army he decided for the first time in his life to visit his daughter.

And after he visited her he used his next vacation to spend more time with her, however he never told her that he was her father, and he also never took her hands because he thinks his hands are dirty with blood of his wife.

So here he is, 26, with thoughts of regret for everything that happened to his wife and daughter. And while he was thinking about it he felt the same feeling that plagued his life in the first months after his wife died, the feeling and the sweet taste of death. He saw a trail of light and a giant claw caught it and tore it in half, and his last thought was.

'Goodbye my daughter, Dad won't be able to see you again.'

This soldier of the Kirian family died who in his life had several regrets, died with only one regret which is not being able to hold on and be with his daughter.

When the Grand Imperial Prince heard a noise of something being torn he turned his gaze and saw a man being torn with the emblem of the Kirian family on his chest, and after he saw the claws tearing that man he turned his gaze to a corner and there he saw the blood-thirsty eyes again, and wanting to kill and tear everything around him.

After a few seconds of stare, the Grand Imperial Prince returned from his confrontation between looks with the monster and turned to Kirian Qinju and the cult leaders and said.

"Let's regroup now, the beast is close, here will be her grave!"
