After defeating Garlon, Dame didn’t bother to pick up the head on the ground or anything like that. Maybe some would have used it as a trophy for their victory, instead he felt like there were more important things on his mind.
He left the area jumping back to where Safa and the others were currently. He could see that nearly all of the golems and demonic warriors had left the fighting area.
It was clear this was being done by whoever was controlling the golems, as they all would have just been destroyed and crumbled in the fight.
As strong as this power or artifact was to summon a large army of this size, the energy to create such things had to come from somewhere, so there was no point wasting energy on creating things that would just perish next to them.
Which was why Dame had assumed that the Deleter causing all of this had to be watching them from somewhere or was somehow able to observe the whole field.
“I can’t find a source,” Safa said as she continued to scan the area with her finger by her temple. “There’s strange magic that is surrounding the golems and the fissures but that’s it. The magic isn’t being directed from a single place or at least not that I can see. So I can’t track it back to a single place like I could with this one.”
Dame noticed Safa’s hands still shaking even now. She also was visibly frustrated that she couldn’t find anything and was still trying to use her powers now to have a look.
“Don’t waste your powers then, I have a feeling that there are plenty of people that will need your help so do your best to recover as much as you can,” Dame explained while looking back in the direction of his fight with Garlon.
He was thinking about the words he had said just moments before his death. Talking about the future and the outcome of this fight.
‘The way he talked he was so sure, as if it was a fact or a line that he just needed to follow. Is there some type of artifact that Alter have that allows them to see the future? Is that why they attacked and knew what was going on here?
‘If they do have such an artifact it’s going to be troublesome to go against but regardless it didn’t seem to go the way he thought it would, that bit was clear.’
“Dame.” A voice called out, it was a familiar voice but the way the voice spoke to him it certainly wasn’t familiar, because it was soft.
Each time in the past when he heard the voice it would be spoken in a condescending way or with anger control but not like this, Dame had never heard Fing his brother talk to him this way.
“You managed to defeat him, you managed to get revenge for Han, justice for Han which I wasn’t able to do. For that..I have to say thank you,” Fing said as he bowed his head down to his brother, something he had done for the first time in his entire life.
When his head raised he was finding it hard to keep eye contact with Dame, until he eventually started to speak again.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry for the life that we have all lived as siblings. The clan was what was important and I saw that getting close to you and everything you did was just getting in the way of me and the Clan. I know me and Han felt the same way..maybe this is an excuse but everyone around us said the same thing.
“How talented we were and how useless we were. At least Rayna could provide something through a political marriage but a weak and worthless warrior was nothing. So we treated you that way, but you aren’t weak, you are nothing but weak and this whole time we were the weak ones doing what we did.”
The more Fing spoke the more he felt sick as he thought back to everything he had done.
“You did what everyone in the Demonic clan would have done in your position,” Dame answered. “In the demonic faction strength is the only thing that matters, it is everything to those. Honestly I thought the same way, we were all brought up the same way so I understand why you did what you did.
“Through my journey of not having the same strength as you though, I had learnt that there are many different types of strength and through these and support one can even rise above others in terms of strength.
“Think, maybe my strength of my mind getting along with the Dark Magus led me to getting these gauntlets which led me to besting the opponent that we couldn’t beat.
“I have to admit I felt inferior to my brothers and sister but I used that to strengthen my resolve and try to get stronger and now what has that strength led us to.
“The death of our family members, nearly the entire elimination of our clan. In our pursuit for the strongest in this entire station do you know what it has led us to?
“That we have to rely on outsiders losing their lives, that we have to rely on outsiders getting us out of the current situation. Maybe it’s time for us to stop being so stubborn about our own strength. Maybe being the king, the clan head and leader of it all is not what it seems not if you have to lose everything you care about in the way.”
Both Rayna and Fing could truly feel that Dame meant every single one of his words. Although they might not agree with his thoughts now both of them could certainly understand where he was coming from as they all had lost important people that day.
“There’s one person among us who is doing everything because of all that he has lost. It makes me wonder how will the Dark Magus act when he finds out about him…I wouldn’t want to be Alter right now.”
