Set had gone like the wind! Even though it took just two breaths for Rage to turn around with an anger-filled face, Set had simply disappeared.
"You son of a bitch!" yelled Rage. 'I can't let him run! He's seen the entrance to my hideout. I need to kill him, fast!' Rage jumped.
As he jumped, fire so red that it seemed as though it had come from the darkest pits of Hell, exploded beneath his feet. Using the force of the blast, Rage was propelled into the air. And using the lift force produced by the flames, he was able to create the same effects as gliding. As he glided over the houses, Rage searched for a Set. Once he saw the scared shirtless young man running like a crazy man, a sinister grin crept to his lips, as he said, "Found you, you little SHIT!"
On the other hand, Set had only one thing on his mind, "Dog shit! Truly dog shit!" Of course, he was talking about his luck. And when he heard Rage's voice, he shuddered. "Why God?! Why? What did I do that was so bad?!"
As he ran for his life, he turned around to beg the enraged Rage for his life, he saw a meteor-like man charging towards him with murder in his eyes.
"Come on man! I swear I'm not going to tell anybody what I've seen. I swear!" as Rage heard Set's pleading, the sinister grin on his face grew bigger and a crazed look emerged on his face. "You swear Huu. Hahaha ... do you know how many people I've killed? If you think I'm going to let you go, then you're dreaming kid".
Set was afraid, but more than that, he was angry. 'Who does he think he is? That son of a bitch. If I had awakened my celestial spirit, I would have thought this shithead a lesson'.
'I can't believe I'm going to die before feeling the warm touch of a woman'. As Set thought that, a determined glint came to life in his eye. 'I'm not going to die. I'm going to do whatever it takes!'. Then he turned around to look at Rage that was closing in like a homing missile and said, "Hey, Rage. Who even calls themselves that anyway? I told you I'm not going to say anything. So leave me alone or else!"
Looking at the kid who suddenly grown a pair, Rage laughed, and said, "Or else what?"
"Look, I didn't want to tell you this because you wouldn't believe me, but I'm a father. Just two days ago, I adopted 13 beautiful girls. So, please, if not for me, do it for the 13 orphans who never felt the warmth of a home."
Rage was taken back. 'Is it the goal of this kid to make me spare him or rid the world of one more pervert? I mean, who'd adopt 13 girls, and even if I'd believed that the completely bulletproof bull crap he just spouted, this little brat is wearing a school uniform. And he said he was a father? Now I see, he has been looking down on me. He thinks I'm stupid huu...' Set's words instead of helping him escape his predicament, were actually adding fuel to the already hot flame.
"Listen! you little brat! If you keep talking, I won't kill you. I will take you back to my hideout and torture you till you die!" As Set heard Rage, sweat began to drop like bullets. 'This idiot just said he wouldn't kill me, but torture me till I die??? This retarded fuck!!!'
'But more importantly, he didn't believe the totally believable lie I just told him? What else can I do? He didn't even care for the 13 orphan girls, I adopted. I see, so I'm going to have to make him pity me'.
"OK! OK, I'm going to tell you the truth". Set's face turned into one of utter sorrow and loneliness. "I was born into a broken home ..." As Set kept talking, the blood lust emanating from Rage grew several folds. Too bad for Set, Rage was only 40 meters away.
Thankfully Rage was just a demon hunter, if he was a level higher Set wouldn't even have been able to run away from that shady alleyway. Rage gathered a large amount of his hell flames in his right hand and fired a ball of scorching flames towards Set. Set watching his shadow grow several inches, and a scorching heat coming from his back, turned around only to turn back with a panic-ridden face. As the flame ball was inches away from the table, he moved his body in a weird way and avoided the calamity that had been thrown toward him.
Even though Set had avoided the attack, his back was sweating from the heat and his uniform had turned black, he also felt a slight pain coming from his left side. Set lifted his left arm to take a look, but there was nothing there. Seeing no other way of escape, he continued his story.
"As I was saying, I was born into a broken family. My mother was a druggie ... and my father was a respectable pimp." Set stopped as if what he said had brought him even more sorrow. "His pimp name was 'BIG LANCE DADDY' My dad would always say 'Bitch! Why did you finish my pimp cash?' And my mom would always respond 'BIG LANCE DADDY you didn't pay for child support, and the court says I can take your pimp cash'.
One day BIG LANCE DADDY came home from a poker game, drunk. He had gambled a huge sum of money and won. When he walked in, he immediately shouted, 'Woman come and say hello to your DADDY'. My mom came out and said, 'BIG LANCE DADDY, why don't you come to the bedroom and show me why they call you BIG LANCE... DADDY'. After that, they went to the bedroom to do their business... if you know what I mean. But what they didn't expect was that the money won by BIG LANCE DADDY was another pimp's entire savings.
SMACK ASS DADDY came to our house that night with a handgun. He shot and killed both of my parents. But because I was hiding in the microwave, SMACK ASS DADDY couldn't find me. After he left, I rushed to my mother, who was clinging to her last thread of life. As I held her in my arms, she weakly said, 'BIG LANCE DADDY JUNIOR, I stashed a pound of cocaine behind the toilet. Please, when you bury me, bury me with the cocaine in my arms'. After that, she died!"
That was the end of BIG LANCE DADDY JUNIOR's dramatic life story. "Do you really expect me to believe that crap? Do you think I'm a retard?" asked Rage With his flames getting noticeably more violent and hot.
"Yes?" Said Set with a hopeful look in his eyes, truly hoping that Rage was a retard. But sadly, lying was one of Set's key weaknesses. It was more of a curse than a weakness, however. Even in such a dire situation, he couldn't come up with a rational and convincing lie. Of course, he didn't think so, 'If he sees through that lie, then I can die knowing that I wasn't killed in the hands of a retard', thought Set with a light smile.
"You bastard!". Rage was... well enraged. As Set was telling his bulletproof story about his childhood, he had tried to burn Set with a couple of fireballs, but Set was as slimy as a ... slime.
He avoided all of his attacks while continuing his 'get out of jail' free card of a story. Factoring in all those, and also the anxiety and anger Set caused him, he was like a volcano ready to explode with even the slightest hint of provocation, and now he was plainly called stupid. He lost it! He summoned his celestial equipment, which was a metal face mask with a dim red color that covered his face below his nose.
As he summoned, changes began to take place. First, the face mask shone brightly, and then it started to... Evolve!
At first, the face mask was metal, but now... Now It was crystal! The color at first was a dim red, but now it was blood-red! The crude metal mask had now evolved into a fear invoking a blood-red crystal face mask. But those haven't been the only changes. Rage's hair and eyes also transformed under the influence of the mask. From its previous black color to crimson. Set with a pained face, groaned and squeezed his left hand, which had suddenly fallen under extreme pain.
"Hahaha ... I thank you, little brat. I haven't been able to evolve since I left the celestial planes. But thanks to you, I've been able to gather enough soul power to evolve my celestial spirit. For what you have done for me, I shall kill you in three hits!" Then Rage, propelled himself, leaving behind a fiery red haze that emerged in front of Set, in the span of one breath. Set, scared out of his mind, jumped to the right, where he had noticed an ally. But he was too slow, rage delivered a swift kick, causing Set to be thrown into the ally.
Set screamed in agony, not from the kick, but from his left hand. His left hand had begun to feel pain after the first fireball attack. And the pain steadily intensified as more attacks blazed his way. After Rage summoned his celestial spirit, the agony in his left hand reached its highest point. But when the kick was delivered to Set, his left hand felt as though it was about to be crushed. Set was crying in agony. "How weak are you? I didn't use my true strength, and you're already screaming like a bitch!"
But Set didn't hear him. Correction Set couldn't hear him. Because tragedy had struck, the pain in his left hand had spread. At first, it was just to the forearm, but then it extended to the entire arm. Before long Set's screams filled the silent night. But, unfortunately, the area was abandoned, leaving Rage the only one who could hear the cries of pain. At first, Rage was joyful, but over time, he began to be wary, because Set's screams were as real as they could be.
"What's happening to him?"
Set was trembling. His entire body was in extreme pain. He could barely stay conscious. But just when he felt he couldn't take the pain, he heard a familiar voice. 'AWAKEN ... AWAKEN ... AWAKEN', When Set heard those words, the unbearable pain he felt, vanished and the screaming night was now filled with silence. In the silent night, Set began to mumble. As he mumbled, dark clouds started to cover the sky. Thunder clapped and lightning flashed. Yet strangely, there was no rain.
'I AM THE INSPIRATION OF THE WORLD... WITHOUT ME THERE WON'T BE ORDER... WITHOUT ME THERE WON'T BE CHAOS... WITHOUT ME THERE WON'T BE BEAUTY... WITHOUT ME THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING... I WAS BORN TO BE KING... I WAS BORN TO RULE... FOR I AM ... THE GOD OF CREATION...'
Set heard those words in his head. And without knowing, he began mumbling them out loud. Hearing this, Rage was in a daze. Now it was his turn to be scared. Because as Rage heard Set's words, a faint image of a dragon appeared in his head, causing endless fear within him. When Set finished mumbling, the thunder clouds finally gave out! Lightning struck, landing on Set's left hand, causing him to fall unconscious. Rage was blinded by the light, and due to the impact, he had been blasted away. After he recovered, he stared at the Set. But this time, there was a slight change in Set's appearance. A ring had materialized on his left-hand middle finger. The ring was pure black and had the appearance of a black dragon. As soon as Rage saw the ring, his consciousness was dragged into the void.
Rage, watched his surroundings with dread. Everything was black, but oddly, he could see his body clearly. Then, as rage was about to ask if there was anyone there, he heard a cold, horrid voice coming from his back. When he turned around, he saw two giant snake-like fiery blue eyes looking back at him. The eyes were 1000 feet tall. Making it almost difficult to see the top at such a close distance. But he could not see the rest of his body, as though someone had put a curtain between the two.
"YOU DARE HURT MY MASTER! DEATH IS A MERCY FOR YOU, I SHOULD TORTURE YOU FOR AN EON. BUT AS MASTER WOULD SAY 'DEATH IS DEATH' SO I'LL JUST WIPE YOU OUT OF EXISTENCE!"
After the words were spoken, a 1,000-foot-high ball of blue flame came out of nowhere and crashed into Rage at blinding speed. The consciousness of Rage was wiped out and, at the same time, the physical body of Rage erupted with blue flames! And in a span of a breath, his body was burned, so much so that not even ash was left. The only thing left was his face mask that oddly floated in midair. After a few moments of floating in the air, the face mask drifted in the direction of Set and neatly put itself onto Set's face, before vanishing into thin air.
