Chapter 323 A Clash Of Emotions (Part 3)

?The pain began to multiply very quickly as more and more blood began oozing out of the bullet wound.

Just as Mako was about to make his escape, his Stone Skin skill had deactivated, and simultaneously at that moment, Bill had created an Earth pillar so that Erin could regain her footing and in that instant, she immediately conjured a singular large ice Bullet which she fired with as much ice aura as she could possibly pack into it.

The big ice bullet tore through the air with greater speed and force than any ice bullet Erin had ever fired before and it was enough to easily penetrate Mako’s back and tear through his lung and heart before exiting from his chest.

[-100 HP]

[User has received critical damage]

[Damage to great to repair using emergency healing]

[Find external aid immediately]

[Time until death: 15 seconds]

Mako dropped down to his knees, his vision becoming blurry once again, and blood began to pool inside his lungs making it hard for him to even speak.

He desperately tried to grab onto his chest to stop the blood from spilling out but it was all in vain as he could feel his strength quickly leave his body.

Soon, Mako wasn’t even able to support himself and he collapsed onto the ground. Tears were forming around his eyes as he couldn’t believe that this was how he was going to die.

Just as Mako’s soul was exiting his body, he saw Bill’s figure standing above his body with not a slight sign of remorse or guilt as his face portrayed pure hatred.

“Good riddance,” Bill said as he conjured an Earth hammer which he quickly swung to squash Mako’s face like a tomato.

*****************

“AHHHH!” Mako screamed as he quickly woke up from his sleep and sat up straight.

He breathed heavily as he tried to calm down his nerves but the nightmare he had just seen was far to scary for him to calm down.

After sitting on his bed for a couple of minutes, he eventually calmed down but by then he heard footsteps coming towards his door. He quickly tried to lay back on his bed and go to sleep but it was too late and the person had already reached his bedroom door.

*Click*

The person turned the doorknob to open Mako’s door to find him asleep on his bed but Mako knew that there was no fooling this person.

“Mako… why are you still awake? You know you have school in the morning,” The person said in the most motherly and loving voice.

Mako slowly opened his eyes as he knew he wouldn’t be able to fool anyone with his pathetic attempts at faking to sleep.

Small tears began to form around Mako’s eyes as he opened them, only to be greeted by his loving grandmother.

“I know, Gran Gran… *sniff* I just had a very scary dream and I thought that I had died,” Mako said while sniffing to stop his nose from running.

Mako’s grandmother was wearing a simple pink-colored long nighttime gown with her greyish-green hair wrapped in a simple hair bun.

“Oh… my dear,” His grandmother said as she quickly grabbed Mako and brought him closer to her, giving him a tight and loving hug.

Mako happily embraced her grandmother as all of his fear quickly went away and he felt peace inside him.

“It’s okay, my lovely boy. Those nightmares can’t hurt you, they are just dreams. Now come on, we must get you back to bed, you have an assessment tomorrow, and remember if you do well, we’ll go to your favorite restaurant for your 10th birthday this weekend.” Amy Grey said as she tucked Mako back into bed.

“Come on, Gran Gran… We both know you will take me there either way, but don’t worry I will get another perfect score for you,” Mako said innocently, trying to tease his grandmother.

“*giggle*, Oh dear, you’re getting more clever by the day,” Amy said as she kissed Mako on the forehead before heading out of his room.

Mako closed his eyes with a huge smile on his face as he couldn’t wait for the weekend to come.

However, not only a few seconds had passed when Mako was awoken once again, but this time by a heavy and low-pitched sound.

“Sweet Dreams… HA HA HA!” The heavy sound spoke which was followed by the sound of falling.

Mako quickly opened his eyes only to see a giant shadowy figure standing in front of his doorway with two giant menacing red eyes and an even wider red mouth.

The shadowy figure was holding onto something with his right hand and as Mako’s eyes followed what it was holding, he was hit with the largest wave of panic, anger, sadness, fear, and agony all at once as the shadowy figure was holding onto a large sword that was impaled right through his grandmother’s chest.

“YAHHRRRHHHH!” Mako screamed at the top of his lungs as he quickly jumped from his bed and ran toward his grandmother.

His tiny hands caressed her flawless face as he continued to call out her name again and again but there was no response; the shadowy figure had killed his grandmother right in front of him.

“Gran Gran! Gran Gran! Please say something!” Mako cried with mountains of tears falling down from his face all the while the shadowy figure continued to laugh in the background.

After realizing that his grandmother was really gone, all that pain inside Mako’s heart turned into anger as he lunged toward the shadowy figure, throwing desperate punches and kicks at its distorting body with all of his puny strength.

However, with no ability to aid him, his attacks did nothing to the shadowy figure that bent down to look at Mako, face to face.

“You’re next little boy, I’m going to send you where I send your precious Gran Gran,” The shadowy figure said in its heavy and low-pitched voice.

Fear and panic filled Mako’s heart once again as the shadowy figure struck him with his arm sending his tiny body straight into his bedroom wall.

The impact was strong enough to cause Mako to bleed from his mouth, making it very hard for him to breathe. All of his strength was sapped from his body and his bones were fractured causing immense pain which made it impossible for him to even move a finger, much less run.

Mako had been bullied regularly in school; however, he had never been in this much pain and agony before especially when his grandmother’s dead body was slumped over right in front of him.

The shadowy figure slowly walked forward toward Mako after pulling the sword out of his grandmother’s body.

Mako couldn’t move, he couldn’t speak, all he could do was watch with horror as the shadowy figure brought the sword closer and closer to him, ready to kill him as well.

Mako didn’t know what to do, all he could was cry. Why was this happening to him? Had the universe not punished him enough? This was unfair! This was wrong! He didn’t want to die!

The sword inched closer and closer to his throat, ready to slice his head clean off his body. Mako was about to close his eyes and just accept his fate as that was all he could do at that point when all of a sudden a pink glowing hand appeared and grabbed onto the shadowy figure’s shoulder.

“STAY… THE… HELL… AWAY… FROM MY GRANDSON!” A familiar voice resounded from behind the shadowy figure.

In the next moment, the dark and scary shadow quickly disappeared and revealed a young woman who was inside the shadowy figure. 𝑓𝓌𝘯ℴ𝑣.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Mako looked with confusion as he didn’t understand what was happening but what made him even more confused was to see that her grandmother was still alive and was glowing pink from head to toe.

Amy Grey had a firm grip on the young woman who had just come out of the dark shadow whose eyes were glowing bright purple.

In the next instant, the environment around them broke like glass and Mako found himself in his regular body back in the special class training room with the memories of all the different visions that he had just lived through.

He felt so weak after having faced so many great negative emotions again and again, but he still mustered the strength to stand back on his feet.

As he looked up, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Even though the illusion had been broken and Mako knew that he was back to reality, he saw Natasha pinned to the ground with the glow from her eyes slowly fading away and pinned down by none other than his grandmother who was still glowing pink.

Natasha screamed in agony as Amy’s glowing hands came in contact with her skin. It felt as if she was being burned alive but this was inside her head as she was coming into contact with pure Love aura, the exact opposite of the Fear aura that resided inside her body.

“YOU… WILL… NEVER… HURT… MY GRANDSON AGAIN!” Amy shouted at Natasha with extreme anger as she slammed her face onto the ground several times making her forehead and nose bleed.
