Cynthia POV " WHAT DID YOU SAY??!!!?? Kaen abandoned me!! Forgot about me!! And this was all you're doing!!!" Hikaru shouted at me as he grabbed the collar of my dress and pulled me to my feet. He brought me to his eye level and glared at me, but I couldn't really see because my vision was blurry from my tears. " Shizen was desperate to separate the two of you because you were draining his life force too quickly! Kaen brought you back when he was 7! But because you were draining his life force, Kaen reverted to his 4-year-old self!! And you grew to 3 years old within 9 months!! Any longer Kaen would be dead!! This was why Shizen talked Kaen into becoming a Version and growing up to be the Demon Lord Slayer!!" " *Growls* So that's where all this madness of throwing his godly self to be a cat face Version came from!! This is why I despise you Versions Slayers!! All of you are better off dead!" Hikaru screams at me before tossing me back onto the ground. " But I at least ha
Kaen POV I groan as I lay down on my bed, tired from wandering around the palace grounds looking for Jessica. I should have asked Princess Sana where she was instead of running around looking for her. I sigh once more... She's gone back to her home at Death Man's Peak. I wish I could go after her right now, but tomorrow, Hikaru and I are leaving for Diomondi to send that Flungoues back to Zakheaven. We need a version to man the gates and another to send that devil back down into the abyss. *Knock knock* *Door opens* " Hey... Kaen.. We missed you at dinner. I brought you, your meal." Cynthia calls out as she leans her upper body into the room with a tray of food. " Not hungry. Sorry for the trouble. " I turned in bed so my back would face her. " Kaen... You have a big day tomorrow, going to Zakheaven. There's going to be tons of opponents and a labyrinth blocking your way before you can even reach the abyss." Cynthia remained as she put the tray of food down on the
Kaen POV Then we should ask Dad to change it when he gets back. The lady asked as she nuzzles the younger me. Yeah! We should! Big sis... You were there too right? Why aren't you in the book? I nodded before asking. Well, someone has to take care of you. Eh? So you don't get to go on an adventure like Dad? Why? You're powerful. .. right? I am, but I choose not to be. Why not? Why not use your power? Why not go out there and show the world you're powerful like Saki? ... Hmm... How do I say this... I'm not like you... You're not? Why? I'm a Version, I'm not born like you, I was created, I am the living proof that even with demonic blood that runs in my veins, my choices are my own and I am not corrupted by it. I was created to confirm that theory and that gave Givendale all the information he needed to stop the cold war which was why your father was sent down to earth to live with the humans and promote equality between races. With that, I now I get to live life as m
Terrius POV " We are almost there! Can you see it? The island way over there." Manor excitedly squirms in my arms, pointing with his paw toward a blurred outline of an island far off into the distance as we rode closer to the beach. I couldn't really see much, but from the outline, it looks more like a fortress. " *Laughs* Yes, yes. I can see it, my pet." I answered as I pull him towards my chest, wanting to snuggle against his soft fur. I can't believe it took him just 4 days to get over his fear of riding a horse. I thought as I pull the reins, making the horse stop for a moment while I adjust a very excited pet in my arms. Manor's silver eyes shone with happiness as his leopard ears flicked a bit, showing off the earring. He's been in his beast form for days just so he can fit perfectly in my arms while we ride toward Diomondi. My pet has been sleeping with me for the past 4 days and quite frankly I'm shocked that his greedy hole hasn't acted up yet. I was hoping to get
Terrius POV " I don't know. .... but I think Misaki isn't the only creator of Versions. Remember the tale that Amber told us? Rhane was the first god who had a version, long before the god war even started. Maybe these Version Slayers are just another type of Version. What are the requirements to open a gate?" I remembered theorized " A version's grantee or the creator's presence." Manor informs. " A version's grantee?" I tilted my head. Manor rolls up the right sleeve of his uniform and flexes the muscle as soon as he does a dim blue light that appears on his arm in the form of words. " Version 4. 1 The perfect product if you're in need of secretly gathering information and stealing items. With extraordinary swordplay skills to keep you safe, along with charming skills to charm anyone out of anything, he's also programmed to recite a poem every now and then to keep him mysterious and out of this world dreamboat. Like all versions, he is guaranteed unquestionable loyal
Kaen POV I groan feeling the sunlight once again on my face as I turn to my side. "Hiki, get off you're heavy..." I once again, out of habit, say to no one while feeling the empty cold sheets next to me where Hikaru used to be just a week ago but felt like years. I sigh once more as I look up at the canopy above my bed, wondering what should I do. I then hear the sound of my doorknob turning. I don't know why, but instead of sitting up, I immediately lay on my side pretending to sleep. " Kaen? It's time to get up." Hikaru calls out to me, I could feel him sitting on the edge of my bed and leaning towards me. My brain was telling me to pretend to wake up but my body refused to move like it was waiting for something. My heart jumped in my throat when Hikaru suddenly touched my shoulder. I was waiting for him to shake me, but instead, his hand let go. I suddenly felt the warm touch of his hand on my forehead. I almost jolted in surprise at his sudden touch, but thankfully I
Kaen POV What was he thinking about? I wondered as blurry distorted swirling colors of a rainbow swirl around me until it slowly fades away into a huge open area with towering metal walls all around. Above was a pathway where guards were patrolling. There were huge crossbows pointed at me from all sides, loaded with a huge spear that was connected to a huge chain and a pulley. The whole place gave me the feeling that I'm trapped in an arena, but instead of rows of audiences, there were rows of long-range weapons and people to man them. " *Whistles* This is the perfect description of being trapped like a rat. Wow... The floor is made out of metal! They even have a forcefield." Hikaru knelt down beside the mirror, tapping the force field that lets out a green glow each time he taps it. " Talk about overkill." Hikaru scoffed. " Why would Manor and Terrius put the mirror here?" I wondered out loud. " Because it's the closest we can get you to the gates" Manor's voice echoe
Kaen POV We step through the first gate and came to a huge empty room there were 9 kinds of armour from different kingdoms. They each stood on a platform with their names displayed. I recognize all of them, they are the 9 knights that sacrifice themselves to protect the Messiah which brought the end to the War of the Gods. Behind them was the second gate... I turned to Hikaru and exchanged a serious glance which soon turned into a confident one. Let's do this. Gate 1 " Welcome to Balban service where your dreams of a safe world come true." V1's voice welcomed. " Come on you stupid thing!!!!" I huffed out ready for whatever that was going to be thrown at me. " Kaen! Armour!" Hikaru yelled. In that split second, heavy black armour made out of scales grows from the cuff I was wearing and consumes my whole body. I fell to the ground unable to stand under its weight and as soon as I did a spear hit right where my head used to be. " To open the second gate, please state your v
