THAT DAY I BECAME A STAR

"How…how dare you!!!" The Longinus stands back up but before he can disappear, I kick him then punch his fucking ugly head.

"Don't underestimate me, human!!" He disappears once again but when he comes back, I punch his head once again, while he stabs through my thigh.

"Kriekk!!"

"Shut up." I give him the lightning fist and as he is thrown away, I reach him again with Disperse and give him Lightning fist again, and again, and again and again.

Every time I punch him, somehow, the images of K'nor keeping dancing in my head. When I found him after killing those bandits. The first time he had bitten me when I tried to give him some food. How small he was. The first time he made a poop on the floor and I was punished. When he took a piss on me and I woke up smelling in the morning. When he finally reached my size and started hunting alone.. When we were training with Selene and Excafol…

"And you…You ruined it!!"

"Kriek!!" The Longinus deploys his aura, trying to push me off but it doesn't work. "This is the first ti-" I give him another Lighting first.

"I told you to shut up, didn't I?"

Then, his Longinus gear covers his body and he takes two steps back.

"This is the first time a hu-"

"Shut up, dammit!!" I use Raizen and slice through him. His armor resists but still, I manage to get through. No crystals come out though. Well, he only has two remaining so I am not impatient.

"I told you to shut up!! So shut up!!"

"Fucking little weakling!"

We start clashing and I rapidly get the upper hand. No, even if I didn't. You would still die.

"You guys broke the last chain that should have hold me down." I will show you. I will show you all!! To you, to Tatiana, to Veronica…All of you will see the monster you have been trying to create.

"You fucki-" I cut through his head before he can speak.

"Like I said. Shut up. Your voice just irritates me."

He tries to disappear but I kick his foot and he loses balance. No matter how strong you are, you made the mistake of using a smaller body than mine. While he is falling, I slash upwards.

"Kriek-"

"Shadow stab." I spin around then I stab through his stomach and a crystal pops out from behind.

"Kriekk!!"

Out of nowhere, a mist appears after that. The body I just stabbed disappear into it. That mist…

"A Regas mist…" So that's a sort of script they used as well. Interesting.

"You have gone too far, human!" His voice resounds from everywhere now. "I was going easy on you but no anymore!!" Who was going easy on who now?

The Regas mist is of no use to you, I can feel your crystal right there. The Longinus attacks me but I dodge by lightly twisting my head then give him the lightning fist again.

"Kriekk!"

"Lumion." Then he gets a taste of Lumion as well. It actually sends him flying to the wall and as he lands brutally on it, I am already there to continue. But I shouldn't use Raizen for this. I bring my physical raizen out and stab the Longinus.

"Kriek!! I told you not to underestimate me, human!!"

"Kriekk!!"

Out of the blue, a sloin comes and stabs my ribs. I was so focused on this guy that I didn't notice. I am not encircled. There is ten more sloin in the hall now. All of them are covered by the mist.

***

"Is that all?"

"What?" I ask while pushing my raizen further into the Longinus.

"Kriekk!"

The sloin who just stabbed me tries to move again but his head is blown away by a bullet. Two others come but receive bullets as well. I can give you guys as much as you want. I create thirteen bullets at full power and bombard the whole place with them. The explosions are so great the hall tremble and the roof starts falling.

"Ahaha!! Stupid human!! You will get buried here!!"

"Damn, don't you ever shut up?" I try to push further but my vision starts blurring. The effect of the mist on my Angas was really fast.

"Now, you will die!"

He manages to push my weapon out then disappears. The roof continues to fall and a rock hits my head. The crystal I just brought out falls to the ground as well then the guy is behind me.

"I got you!!" He stabs through my stomach and I see the blade coming out from my stomach.

Is this what you felt, K'nor? Did you also feel that rage from having the strength to kill such a stupid weakling but couldn't? Then there is Willhem. I haven't even thought about him. He must have been really frustrated that he couldn't beat such a stupid and easy enemy. Hendrick must have given him one of his legendary fuck off before dying as well.

As the Longinus removes his blades from my stomach and disappears; I bring out his own crystal that I took when he fled. They always react to them whenever they see it.

"Give me my heart back, you weakling!!" See, I knew you would say that. Now, all I need is for you to make a stupid move.

He appears before me and stabs through my hand. Too bad for him, I had already sent it to my mouth.

"What are you doing?!!"

"Shadow punch."

I give him another specialty and this time, the impact is so great his blade that was stuck in my hand breaks, a part of it stays on my hand, and his armor breaks everywhere as well.

"Kriekk!!"

The Longinus screams as he tries to resist the shockwave but it is too powerful for him. Now, it is time to finish this. I remove the blade from my hand and grab my raizen with both hands. I will give it to you, with all of my feelings packed in it. As soon as the Longinus lands on the floor…

"Tremor." I give it to him the first time. But he doesn't die. The floor cracks everywhere but his armor holds on. These things are pretty sturdy, huh. Even though it is cracked, it still protects him properly. Well, I wouldn't have had it any other way.

"You little-"

"Tremor." Once again, the floor cracks even more and his armor flies off, a piece of it even hits my face.

"D-Don't you care about your friends?!"

"My friends?" What is he talking about?

"Yes, I have your friends. If you let me-"

"Tremor."

"Kriekk!!"

As if you guys ever kept humans alive.

"Tremor." Why don't you die, goddammit?! "Tremor! Tremor!! TREMOR!!!"

Finally, the floor breaks, and I fall. Where is he? I only see a crystal falling with me? Where did he go? I don't feel anything close to me now. It's like everything is just the void. Did he flee again? As soon as I land, I launch fully charged bullets everywhere. The sweetness of his crystal is almost gone so I must have taken everything I could from him.

The bullets explode everywhere but I don't see him popping out. Why? How?

"Come out!! Are you that afraid?!! Are you a weakling as well?!!" I even provoke him but nothing. He just stays hidden. You want to play it like that, huh?

I spit out the crystal then take the one on the floor and start sucking again.

"See, I am tasting your fucking heart!! Doesn't it anger you!!" The guy just doesn't answer. You think I will let you stay hidden from me.

I send bullets after bullets everywhere. I will destroy the whole place until you come out.

"I will find you!! I will destroy you!!"

He places starts collapsing on me but I just send more bullets everywhere. Rocks are falling and explosions are ringing in my ears but still no traces of him. Is he really here? No, wait, could he be outside. Yes, he must have fled outside. I fly outside the cave while being hit by the falling rocks. One of them is as huge as me and hits my shoulder but I will find him. I will absolutely find him!!

I get out and look everywhere. There are some Longinus here and there still remaining but no traces of him.

"I WILL FIND YOU! I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU!"

I create bullets and launch them everywhere. Every position where I can sense a Longinus is bombarded while I fly around. You will come out!! I swear you will!!

"Kevin!!!"

Suddenly, however, I hear a voice. But how? That voice shouldn't be here anymore.

"Woof!! Woof!"

"No way." How? What? Why? "Guys!!"

They are alive? They. Are alive? But…And then…

I land near them and K'nor jumps on me then start licking my face. Am I dreaming?
