A Devil Jinchuuriki – 04

Birds chirping snapped Sirzechs out of his unconscious.

His memory was hazy while his vision blurred.

He rubbed his eyes to clear it and sat upright.

The terrains around him were flattened.

It was littered with half destroyed and uprooted trees.

His mind recalled what happened, and with panic, he flew hastily towards ground zero.

There was nothing left, only dust and rubbles still falling from the sky like slow motion rains even hours had passed.

Sirzechs could only drop his head in dismay.

Grayfia had sacrificed herself so he could live while stopping the expanding rift from consuming the world.

"Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, Grayfia. I will carry out your wish and end this war," Sirzechs Lucifer said as a single tear escaped his eye.

His heart strengthened for the task at hand even though he realized how much he had loved her.

She probably felt the same, but neither could tell each other that.

He finally said one last good bye to the empty air and turned towards the horizon and flew home.

The war had taken its last victim.

He would negotiate with the remnant of Heavens to end the conflict that had gone for far too long once and for all.
