Out of Control
A purple light then suddenly appeared behind him. The sudden appearance of that purple light was so fast, Mark barely dodged it. Mark then looked back and saw a shadow-like figure. It then said, "Zone Barrier."
After saying that, Mark suddenly couldn't move away from his spot. He tried many times but he just failed. He couldn't do it. Suddenly a voice sounded out to Mark, the voice then said, "You're quite amazing to beat that creature. You gave such a splendid show, but now, this must end", it was the voice of the shadow's master.
The figure then silently appeared beside the shadow and looked at Mark. He then said, "Highness already has the throne, you must never come back. We must erase your existence out of this universe. Sullivan, crush him."
The shadow then kneeled as it slowly clenched its fist. Mark then felt that the area he can freely move through got smaller and smaller, and he couldn't help but scream in pain as the space was so tight that a couple of his limbs' bones broke.
The people on the sidelines who heard Mark, screaming in pain, then shouted clearly worried, "Mark!!", it was the group of Lance, Elaine, Ariel, Jeanne, Thea, Gabrielle, Jane, Feina, Layla and Liza. They wanted to go to Mark but then, they were powerless, they wouldn't be able to help Mark. Mark also wanted them to just stay out, he didn't want them to die a worthless death.
The figure, who had heard the worried screams of the people which consisted mostly of girls, smirked widely and evilly. He then looked at Mark as he said, " Oh? what's this, they must be the incarnation of your women, dear @#$%&, your women were strong back then, we need them to die too."
Mark didn't understand the name that the figure uttered but as he heard him mention of killing the women, he then coldly looked at the figure, "Don't touch them or I'll kill you."
The figure who heard this just laughed as he said, "This is too cliché for me, won't you just shut up for a moment", the figure then looked at the shadow and commanded, " Sullivan, complete the job, no more dilly-dally, kill him already."
The shadow called Sullivan then nodded as he continued to clench its fist. Mark then who was still feeling pain coldly looked at the figure with a poker face as if he wasn't least affected by the pain. He then said, "It does sound cliché, but what I say, I will do."
The figure just smiled devilishly as he said, "Too late", suddenly a mist completely covered Mark and the barrier zone that the shadow cast felt as if it has already crushed Mark to become unrecognizable. Those who have heard loud sounds of bone-cracking then looked at the soot where Mark was that was covered in mist. They wanted to come and help, but their instincts are completely screaming, no. Conscience can do nothing against fear, only fear can do something to conscience.
But then suddenly a howl could be heard at the spot where Mark was. The shadow then seemingly shocked, fell down to the ground as it said, " M-Master! the barrier zone was broken!"
Hearing that the figure was startled, it then looked at the soot where the most were gathering and his face was covered in great shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Mark wasn't crushed, but instead, the barrier zone was crushed by Mark's hands, and with that, he unknowingly destroyed it which was almost an impossible feat.
The mist then gradually disappeared and Mark was completely shown. Mark then said lightly, "Griego, what a complete traitor, you shall be killed."

"Master!", Arizuare then looked at the white-haired girl with a serious face as if feeling something that was not supposed to happen.
The white-haired girl also had a stern expression plastered unto her face. She then said, " He's in complete rage mode, we can do nothing to stop him. If only I noticed that Griego was the one who did this!"
Arizuare then looked at the white-haired girl lightly saying, "It's not your fault, it's just that, out husband's trusted allies betrayed him to place their so-called highness on the throne."
The white-haired girl then smiled bitterly as she said, "It was because of us that he—", Arizuare then cut her off with a hug as she said, " No need to remember that moment, let us stay in the present and not in the past not future."
The white-haired girl could only say, "Thank you", as Arizuare comforted her.

Back near the almost destroyed cathedral, stood Mark and two figures in front of him whose faces were filled with shock. They couldn't believe their eyes seeing that Mark had destroyed the barrier zone, the technique they have refined for what was seemingly millions of years.
Mark then looked at them with his eyes full of killing intent as he said, " I will indeed kill you, Griego", he then ran towards the figure called Griego with a speed close to the speed of sound. With a chop of his hand, he aimed at Griego's neck. Griego just muttered as fast as he can, "Barrier Armor", right then a strange translucent glass-like light shone upon his neck which blocked Mark's hand and gave him time to dodge.
Griego, who was now anxious then called out, "Shadows! Arise!", then various shadows, both big and small appeared before him. That although didn't obstruct Mark. Mark then clicked his fingers as a gun suddenly appeared unto his hand.
Mark then had a thought appeared on his head as he aimed his gun towards the shadow, 'Light illuminates the darkness, darkness covers the illumination of light, but the light is the beginning of the creation of life. It can pierce through the darkness and make the way clear, the darkness of each soul can be destroyed by a single speck of light as light is the healer of the hearts of men, but that light is as rare as a flower that blooms at night.'
He didn't quite understand it, but Mark shot his gun, and bullets that were made of light flew out. As it landed upon the shadows, flowers then started to form. The shadow then as if satisfied, gladly sighed as he disappeared.
Mark the continued shooting the other shadows as then Griego was the only one left. Seeing that he was alone, Griego then agitated by bit his own hand and caused it to bleed, " FUCK THESE USELESS THINGS! EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKING USELESS! ALRIGHT I'M GONNA KILL YOU MYSELF."
Griego then chanted something as his eyes turned yellow he then grew two horns on his head as he looked at Mark in rage, "I'm gonna kill you!"
Mark just laughed creepily as he said coldly, "I already told you, I WILL KILL YOU!", Mark then at a fast pace, shot Griego on the limbs. Seemingly unaffected, Griego just laughed as he snorted with a twisted face, " YOU THINK YOU CAN HURT ME WITH THOSE PUNY LITTLE BULLETS!? HAHAHA! YOU'RE ACTUALLY MORE FUCKING STUPID THAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE, NOW IT'S MY TURN!"
What Griego had done truly shocked him, he didn't expect him to do this. He attacked the girls. He fucking attacked the girls. Mark's gaze was now full of killing intent. A small whisper then sounded out to his ears saying, "Don't hold back, release your emotions. Kill him!"
Activating Mark's bloodlust, he suddenly appeared before Griego and kicked him a hundred meters away from the girls. Not finishing, his blood-red eyes started at Griego that caused Griego to shudder. The gaze was too cold.
Suddenly, the coldness became even colder. The surrounding people began shivering as the cold temperature suddenly rose. Some time of ice ball appeared on Mark's hand as Mark's blood-eyes suddenly turned pale-blue. He then threw the ball of ice unto Griego, and Griego shivered as he begged for mercy, but it was too late.
He then turned into completely red ice. His body was completely assimilated by the ice and was blended to blood. He was destroyed. Mark then who was standing with pale-blue eyes suddenly collapsed to the ground.
