C33 Lazarus Syndrome 2/2

Or not?

"Wha?"

Dumb-struck by her unexpected response, I kept quiet and enjoyed the show.

"Stop struggling! It'll only hurt more- Hiiyah!-See!?

"My hand!!! My only hand! My precious hand!"

Oooh. That looked like it hurt.

His arm was chopped off by the little girl with her glowing sword so he picked it up and started running around. It wasn't really bleeding, just a bone and flesh cut cleanly off from each other, the mental damage could be lethal to the person on the receiving end but Seth was unnaturally cool with it.

"You have another one Seth-Do his other hand too!"

"Char! Don't tell her what to do! Wait! At least let me say my goodbyes first! Char! Let go of your grudges and save me! I want to do something in case this doesn't work!"

"Hold him down, Char!"

"Okay! Got it! Earth bind!"

Plants grew from the ground and grabbed on to Seth's legs which made him fall to his face on the ground. Good thing it was a grassy spot where his face landed on.

"Aw! Ahh!!! Nooo-Don't just do as she requested! My other arm! No don't! Char! I'll get you for this!"

The little girl stepped on Seth and stood straight while raising her sword ready to strike his hand then said:

"Don't worry Seth, this is killing two birds in one sword! She'll finally forgive you and we can do what we planned to do! And this won't bleed unless I want it to bleed! but you'll still die if we don't put it back."

They really have a lot of history if they could do this much without a care of their surroundings.

I mean, they're shouting really loudly even though they're like, two meters away from each other.

Me, who was still watching the movie from the back lines, finally came back to reality and asked:

"What are you all doing exactly!?"

Caught by their weird atmosphere, I shouted that with all my breath.

"Why are you shouting? I'm right in front of you, Fio."

"Sorry! I was too caught in by your play. So why are you doing this?"

"You see, we planned to take a corpse here but due to some circumstances, the corpse we planned to take, wasn't actually buried here but rather taken to a factory to suck out their powers and converted to energy for your country. So, we're trying to kill Seth so that his corpse will also be brought to the factory and we'll follow it and take two corpse. Only powerful ones can be brought to the factory though."

"But Seth doesn't really look powerful. Have you seen him in action before?"

"Hmm... I don't think so, he comes up with the plans, but he doesn't really involve himself in it much. "

"Ah ah ah! I forgot! Seth isn't blessed yet. I mean he doesn't have his powers yet. Let go of Seth, Char. Sorry Seth."

The little girl halted her attacks and got off from Seth then helped him stand up after Char removed the bindings. I didn't notice when she cut it off, but Seth's other arm was already on the grass still holding the other-other arm. Yes, his arm is holding his other arm.

They walked towards us afterwards, and because Seth had no arms, the little girl carried his limbs for him. She was carrying the right arm with her left hand, and the left arm with her right hand.

"So Seth isn't blessed yet?"

"Blessed?"

Char asked me with a baffled expression.

"You know, the Cathedral-mmm!!!"

As soon as she heard me trying to explain what being blessed meant, the little girl covered my mouth with Seth's right arm and yelled:

"Don't tell her anything!"

Remembering what Seth said about his hand being gross, I quickly shook my head to make his arm go away.

So this is what grass tastes like? Although he already washed his hands earlier at the car, his hand was still a bit salty from the grass and bitter from something else. I don't think it was poop, I think he used the perfume instead of the water when he washed it.

"Please give me back my arms."

"Here you go."

*toss *bump *thud

She tossed Seth's arms to him and it just bumped on his chest then fell off the ground.

Our eyes were focused on this event as it unfolded before us.

"Oh."

"..."

...

Silence felt the field.

"Seth kneel down, I'll bless you right now so we can stop throwing your arms around."

"Okay..."

*thud

Seth tried to kneel down on his knees but he fell off balance and his face kissed the ground once more.

"Please help him up."

Char rolled him using her left foot to make him face upward while still lying on the ground.

I could see that she didn't really want to touch him. Neither did I though, he was just rolling on the ground earlier.

Just how much dog poop had gathered on his shirt?

"Can't you just attach his arms back?"

"Should I?"

She said while slowly tilting her head to face Char, it was as if she was asking permission, Char got her intentions and answered her:

"No."

"Char?! Why not?!"

"Because I said so."

"I see." x2

The little girl with the sword and I said while nodding our head.

"You see what?!—Ahhh. No Don't worry, I won't run anymore. I'm prepared to face my fate now."

He said while closing his eyes as if making an oath only without his arms to show his sincerity.

Char was thinking about the aftermath, if Seth were to have his limbs back, the same thing that happened earlier would just rewind itself, he'd run around and get his legs chopped off this time, and I also think Char was still angry about something.

"Okay, fine give it back to him. Chop off his legs instead."

I was right!

"What?! No no no! Leave the legs alone! I'm okay with just this!"

"If you say so."

After their argument, they made Seth kneel in front of the little girl so that she could bless her.

"Remember, you have to believe in me."

"Okay got it."

With how she's dressed, I think she was some kind of female priest from some far away cathedral so it should probably work. Not that I know much about blessing ceremonies.

"Now Seth, pray to me."

Seth closed his eyes and started to pray.

I heard it takes hours to call to God when a blessing ceremony takes place in Cathedrals. This was way too fast compared to those rumors.

Only a few seconds passed but Seth started glowing already.

"Thank You Seth."

The little girl mumbled with a huge smile on her face. Her face showed an overjoyed expression.

The glow started to fade and Seth was starting to wobble and almost fell on the ground but the little girl caught her before he could completely kiss the ground again.

"Did I... do it?"

"Yes, Seth..."

The little girl answered and kissed Seth's forehead as he lost consciousness.

"Now we just have to kill him."

"What? What's with you girl?"

I sarcastically asked Char who I think was still not over with her anger towards the boy.

"No. We don't need to. He's already dead. His body probably couldn't handle directly regaining so much power."

Regaining?

"Oh, so now what do we do?"

There was an unusual way of how she phrased it, but as a person who lacks the knowledge about these stuff, I kept quiet and ignored it.

"We go home."

"Who's going to drive the car?"

"Me, of course!"

"Let's go Fio."

"WHAT!? That tiny girl is driving me home with 'my' car?!"

"Why? is it not okay?"

"What do you mean it's not okay?! She's a girl smaller than me! Do you seriously think she can-----"

**

"------ Woooohoooo!!! Now go right!"

"And she was so reluctant in letting her drive..."

*Barf!

"Please slow down!"

"No way Char! Go faster! Faster! Don't worry! There are no traffic at this hour of the night!"
