Chapter 179 - Something Wrong With Him
Axel then said to him, 'Okay babe, don't worry I'll bring him back as soon as he passes out again.'
When Kevin had talked about his will to survive and when he remembered that these nightmares he had were probably due to the month of torture he had suffered, he couldn't help but think of his father.
His father who was the god of destruction must have a way to find out what world Kevin was from, and even if he didn't want to destroy this world because Kevin had done everything he could to protect it from criminals and corrupt people, that didn't stop him from wanting to kill, or rather slaughter, all those who had been responsible for his track over the last 5 years.
Kevin had already gotten rid of those who had tortured him and he had told him that he had killed the man who was at the head of those who were hunting him down, but this man had necessarily been employed by someone to kill him, and it was this person that he wanted to destroy.
When his father will finally decide to show up, he will find a way to ask him for this favor.
Axel's movements became more powerful and he was not far from letting his rage overtake him but then he felt a hand on his shoulder and he heard Erik's jerky voice who was probably struggling to stay conscious : "Calm down ... I don't know ... What ... You're thinking ... But ... A ... Red ... Aura ... Is forming ... Around you."
Axel calmed down immediately and Erik was relieved, even though he was still on the verge of losing consciousness and he knew it very well, he had not been able to help feeling Axel's killing intent.
He had been watching him as he started to move towards him with what little strength he had left, and he had seen that strange red aura, the same as when he had fought the Elite Warrior Vampire, start to appear all around him.
His eyes had also changed to crimson red, luckily for him, Axel had calmed down quickly when he had spoken to him.
His eyes had returned to their usual deep blue color, and that terrifying red aura with his intention to kill was gone, all he could see now was the worry on his face when he looked at him.
Erik knew he should say something to reassure him but he was too exhausted to do so, so he patted him on the shoulder to let him know he was okay and started walking across the room again.
As he was falling more and more often, and each time getting up was more and more difficult, he conjured up the image of Alan and thought about how he had been powerless to protect him from that Elite Warrior Vampire.
He looped the image of Alan being thrown against the wall by that bastard and he kept going, ignoring the pain he felt in every muscle in his body, he couldn't stop, he had to get stronger.
He again felt just now the gap that still separated him from Axel, and what about that aura they had all felt when they were in Alice's shop, his instinct told him that their future enemies would be even more powerful so he had no right nor time to stop.
Axel, who had been watching Erik since he calmed down, contacted Kevin because he felt that Erik's behavior had changed, 'Babe, there's something strange about Erik, he kept falling to his knees but suddenly he got up and since then he keeps walking with his head down and he doesn't fall down anymore.
I don't know how to explain it to you but it's like there's something wrong with him.'
Kevin swore loudly and immediately stopped what he was doing and said to Axel, 'Please stay away from him honey, under no circumstances should you approach him, I'm coming right now.'
Kevin ran and opened the door of the gravity room, and he immediately went to stand in front of Axel and he said to him : "Stay behind me, damn … What the fuck … How come Erik is already so close to the phase 2."
Axel who did not understand very well what was happening continued to watch Erik and when this one didn't feel any more the gravity of the room he stopped.
Axel looked at Kevin and how he was focused on Erik and he asked him then : "What's going on, is he really unconscious ?"
Kevin nodded and said : "Hell yeah, he's already unconscious, and since he can't feel the gravity anymore, it's as if the enemy he was fighting has been defeated.
Now it's either he'll fall because for him he'll have completed his mission or he'll turn to us and attack us."
Axel opened wide his eyes and wanted to put Kevin behind him but Kevin said to him remaining in front of him : "Stop moving, and calm yourself, he is still our friend not an ennemy."
Axel said to him worried for his mate : "You just told me he might attack us, just go behind me I won't threaten him or do anything but I want you to be safe."
Kevin said to him in a serious tone : "Don't move ! The Erik you're looking at right now is a lot more dangerous than the one you see every day.
I hope we won't have to fight him, but if we do, let me handle it, I'll immobilize him with my techniques."
Axel knew very well that Kevin with only few moves could really do that so he listened to him and tried to calm down, he asked him again : "Are you sure you can handle him ?"
Kevin shook his head and smirked : "Right now I don't stand a chance."
Axel looked at him in disbelief and it was then that he saw Kevin take out slowly from his magic bag, without any sudden gesture, his scabbard with his two shortswords and he equipped himself with it, he also took out his two daggers and placed them behind his back by wedging them with his pants.
And then he said to him : "Now it should be fine thanks to the Stats of my weapons, be ready to intervene just in case, but it is important that he does not feel threatened by us or he will attack immediately."
Axel was starting to feel frustrated and he was still a little worried about Kevin so he asked him again : "How long will it take for ... "
He didn't need to finish asking him how long it would take Erik to judge if they were a threat or not because just then Erik fell head first and Kevin managed to stop his fall and he sighed relieved.
