Chapter 2002 - Crack Crack Crack Sup Sup! "Now, little Marla!" Old Finn said, and at the same moment, a violet streak of light released from the identical violet sticks they were holding. As the streaks released, they clashed against each other in mid-air before merging and moving toward Micheal while both old people slumped down on the ground, feeling extremely tired. Using the violet stick artifacts has taken a lot of out them; they would need to rest for a while before they could use something like these sticks again. "Will it save him?" Marla asked, the first time sounding uncertain. "I don't know, but there are chances; we just need to act quickly when the time comes," Finn said. The artifact they have used is an extremely rare one; it is not an anti-curse artifact, but a soul type, which is specifically made to destroy the consciousness of sentient like that have born through the un-natural method, which means it will destroy the consciousness of curse but not curse itself. If it worked, they would have to work pretty fast; fortunately, they have come prepared. As long as it worked, they had a way to contain the curse. "The Core Is Mine!" Scremed the face of a giant tsunami and was about to crash on the curse when suddenly; I felt a very powerful pulse entering my body before striking the face of the giant tsunami. "Ahhhhhhhhh…" Just as the pulse struck it, the tsunami had stopped on its tracks, and the huge face on it screamed. The scream was so loud and painful that I wanted to close my ears, but there was no way I could stop the soul sound when I was not in control of my runes. So, I bore it and looked at the tsunami, which seemed to be getting out of control; the waves spreading everywhere, with even face unable to maintain its original shape and size. The pulse came from outside, and I have no doubt two councilmembers were responsible for it, and I couldn't be more grateful for them for doing what they did. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 The pulse seemed to be soul-type or anti-soul type seeing the way it had attacked the soul of the sentient curse. The power of the pulse is amazing. If I had been hit by something like that while I am emperor, I would be incapacitated even with all my defenses. I wish I could do something now, attack in some way, but I could not. If I had runes or had control over my core, I would have been able to teach this curse bastard some lesson, but now, all I could do is watch while the pulse torment it and destroy its soul little by little. "I WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY THIS PUNY ATTACK!" Roared the curse, and the next moment, I felt a familiar aura across the curse seal. "Fuck!" I cursed loudly as a faint pink sheen had appeared above the curse seal as it saturated in the shape of a long thick needle before passing through the energy of the pulse covering it. It did not pierce through it but passed through it; it had done that with the help of rule-bending power. 'How?' Is the only question I could ask; I did not know it had a Rule-bending power, much less it could use it. It had kept it hidden till the last moment and used it only when it had caught in the lurch. Zig! It barely took a second to reach the core before seeping inside it the core. The needle, which had been hundreds of times bigger than the core, had easily seeped through it. "Hahaha… I did it, I finally did it, the years of wait had been worth it!" Its mad laugh rang out through the core and before its black tendrils began to spread into the core. I could feel it had started itself merging through the core, and once it had done with that, it would automatically gain control over me. Hell, it had already obtained the preliminary control over my body; it had locked my body physically that now, I could move even an inch. I could not do anything against the curse which is slowly taking control over my core and me. I wish I could open my mouth and ask the councilmen to kill me or at least runway while they have a chance. Once it had obtained full control, it would kill them too; I have no doubt about it; I could feel its thoughts as it started to gain control over my thoughts. The more I feel its thoughts, the more despair couldn't help but well up in my heart. Its thoughts are beyond horrific; even Grimm monsters pale in comparison to the monster that is taking control over me. It seemed to possess insatiable hunger in it, and it wanted to consume it all. Be it humans or Grimm Monsters, it means nothing to it; they will only be its food and way for it to get stronger, so it could eat even more powerful things. I am again begging for help from Ashlyn and the hidden being; I do not wish to be saved. Instead, I hope they will kill me, so this monster will not be unleashed on the world. If it did, the humans would experience despair millions of times greater than what they feel against the Grimm Monsters. As always, I have not got any response from Ashlyn or other beings. They do not listen to me; they will act if they wish or remain silent. I just hoped that these two would act; it did not matter whether I remained alive or not; I just didn't want this horror to be unleashed on my world. Crack Crack Crack … I was wallowing in despair when I suddenly heard a cracking sound; at first, it was faint, but soon it got louder till I could hear it crisps and clear.
