Dark World

'So, she added wood reservoir to it, for it to be freed of insect.'

Wood reservoir is a type of chemical that helps wood to keep their quality and save them from parasites attack, applying this chemical to a wood can make it survive several years without giving out to the passage of time. The chemical is poisonous to both humans and animals, Emmy didn't know why Alice have it with her, because it is not common in these days as only a few wood furniture could be seen these days, equipment are made of metal and others hard resources these days.

So, her having it is quite surprising, although Emmy was angry that she didn't tell him that she added it to the pen, because it's dangerous for both him and Jone but seeing the damn creature struggle like this made his anger faded away.

He didn't know what happened after he threw the makeshift pen at the creature but he could already imagine it due to the situation the creature was in. The creature has simply underrated the pen, thinking that a bunch of wood wouldn't do anything to harm him, and due to his arrogant and ignorance, he didn't get to notice the ice pillar and as he swallowed the pen, the pillars have choked him and maybe his teeth or something else have separated the woods from the pillars and it had gone straight into his belly while the pillars pierced the bastard jaw.

This is the only thing Emmy could think of.

Pool of black blood surrounded the creature and large chunk of metallic flesh was falling down. The creature's fierce and hateful gaze fell on Emmy who also stared at it without blinking. It started moving towards him and it stops battling itself and it continue moving towards Emmy with scythe hand moving forward.

'Idiot, I guess you don't know what that chemical can do, you would've long dead if you haven't been battling yourself. But now that you decided to come at me, I will gladly watch you die before me.'

Just as he thought those worlds, the creature slowdown in its step, then staggered and fell down, the most dangerous thing about the wood reservoir chemical, is that, it always wants its victim to keep attacking the place it affected them, once the person stops attacking, it means their death and the creature didn't realize that.

After seeing the creature fell down, Emmy felt something solid slip into his mouth and a cool tasteless liquid follows, then his vision faded away, but he caught a glimpse of Jone placing healing pills and water into his mouth with its leg, and a system message before he passed out.

Emmy have finally gained his freedom.

Somewhere in an unknown world where there was nothing but darkness, darkness shrouded the unknown world and it was as if the world itself isn't moving, the air around it was still and nothing seems to be moving in this strange world, except for two humans that walk on the vast still and empty land, it isn't like someone could see them but their voice that travels across the world made it known that two people are here. They seem to be in the middle of discussion.

"I can't still believe, you actually let the boy go like that." One of the voices said in anger and frustration.

"Hey, don't be mad, I'm not the type to break promises, you should know that more than anyone." The second voice said in a cool and calm tone.

"Yeah, that's what I'm saying, why would you even promise to free him." The angry voice said.

"Huh? Not you and not I believe that the boy will manage to kill atypical devil." The calm voice said.

"And that's your fault, you should've have killed him straight instead of making him go through that stupid test." The anger voice complained.

"You know I love to fun have, watching him fight the atypical devil was quite interesting." The calm voice replied with a chuckle.

"Pathetic." The already angry voice said more angrily.

"Huh? But what's your concern, may I know your worries?" The calm voice asked.

"Really? I already told you, I saw a great potential in that boy when he started cultivating with the book, and I said he can either help us in the future or be a real threat to us. Now that you have made fun of him and you still decided to free him, do you know what that means?" The angry said.

"So, that's it, you shouldn't be worried, what threat can he become that I won't be able to handle, and I bet that he can even survive his world, not to talk of becoming a threat to us." The calm voice reassured the angry one.

"He won't survive or what do you say? Do you know what you have gifted him? Damn, you gifted him the system that was created with the soul of your great brother, the system you spent several thousand years to create. And you know how powerful you great brother was, you know how much of a threat he was to us and the hatred he has for you before he later fell into your hands. And still, you were unable to kill him, you only capture his soul till his body turn to ashes, and you know what it costs you to capture his soul, you know the sacrifice you made just to capture his soul and the number of years you spent on creating the system and how many trials and errors you made in order for his soul not to wake up in the system. And now you just gave it away like it was nothing." The angry voice claimed.

The calm voice was silent for a couple of seconds, then laugh hysterically.

"hahaha, you made me remember that bastard who was the cause of all this. And who tell you that I can't get the system back and kill the boy if he gives us problem?" The calm voice asked.

Now it's the angry voice time to laugh.

"Hahahahah, I can't believe it, you must have forgotten. Did you remember what happen after a part of your brother soul was taken away by one of the typical angel." The angry voice asked still laughing.

"It faded away and I was unable to get it back." The calm voice answered.

"Exactly, the same goes for the system, since it was created from the soul, once you unleashed the binding chain away from it and it's freed, you can't get it back. You should know that already." The angry voice said which made the calm voice reacted.

Moving his hand in a strange way, it looks like he was trying to concentrate on something but it was hard for him.

"You can't feel it right? Which means we have no connection with the boy again and we have no control over him, we can't threaten him and the boy is free from us." The angry voice said.

The calm one stop what he was doing and look at the angry voice for a couple of seconds and said.

"And who said I can't spend another several thousand years again to create another system, there are powerful souls out there that I can use, and I am now stronger than when we fought my brother, so nothing can stop me. As for the boy, let's see what he can do with the system."

The angry voice was speechless and the anger in him rises.

"You still won't kill him???" He shouted.
