First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse -
Chapter 135 The Edge
Isiah was so curious about the story behind the snake, just an hour ago he thought of it as a brainless animal who bit his hand randomly and followed him around because of motherly issues, and now he discovered that the story was definitely bigger than that.
"The person who opened the gates to the world beyond in Delwias Island…" the snake was willing to say more but Isiah interrupted it saying :" Lucas …Duncan !"
Eijar was bothered because she was interrupted like that, so she replied :" Yeah, I forgot how famous he is in your region, Yup, The Lucas Duncan"
Isiah broke eye contact with Eijar, he felt like his stomach trembled when he heard his name there, it felt like a triggering point, he always wanted to know more about him.
For years, he tried to know just some basic things, however his parents always kept him blind, and the people around him didn't even use his name because of what he had done.
When you want something so bad as a child and you don't ended up having at the time it will grow with you, till the point when you have it is a grown up it feels like something wrong happened, that somehow you don't deserve to have it, and you keep feeling that guilt inside of you if you did until you lose it again .
Isiah knew that it was the moment to have all the answers he wanted yet somehow he hesitated, it didn't feel right to know despite the curiosity that filled his mind.
The words felt like they were stuck in his throat, so he stayed silent until he heard Eijar moving toward him .
" The worst owner I have ever heard of, I have multiple reasons to kill the bastard but the most important one of them is that he ended our contract without me knowing, we have had a lot of fights together and yet he did such a disloyal thing !"
"I get it you were weak and he took advantage of that, but how come he was able to break a contract so easily? Isiah forced his mouth to speak.
Eijar was willing to give him information so he had to talk.
"His powers were incredible, for a person who brought apocalypse to your region this was nothing ".
Isiah looked at the snake again then said with heavy breaths :" Where is he ? "
Suddenly he remembered what their father said to him the first time he asked him, his reaction is vivid now in the front of his memory.
'Why am I asking about him? I am not even expecting anything from him ? He, who started a chaos that no one was able to stop, who tried to kill his parents and friends and all the people he knew. Why am I asking about him? It is not like we are going to have a childhood trauma reunion or something.
But why ? Why did he sign me for this contract with Eijar? Where is he now? Is he even alive ? '
Isiah looked at the snake that was very close to him and said: " Where is he now?
" I don't know! I don't even know if he is alive, after he broke the contract I couldn't track him down "
"Do you have any idea of why he signed me to have the grimoire and you ? "
" I don't know, and I don't care, he always called me sneaky when in fact he was the sneaky one between us " The snake moved away from Isiah's side and started to look at him from afar.
"Why did you choose to be silent, you could have saved me so much trouble?" Isiah stood on his feet then started to move away while still walking next to the seashore on that dark sand .
" Lucas Duncan had a tremendous urge to seek power even though he was much younger than you. I didn't want to be troubled this time but apparently you are worse than him, master, " Eijar said sarcastically.
"Well….I am"
Isiah started to move while his focus was still on the sea, the snake moved fast and went to his neck and rolled her body there .
" Stop doing this! This is disgusting " He shouted at her then added:" I still didn't approve your companionship "
"Silly boy, this …this ….what is connecting you and me is for life, you can't just pretend like we are not bonded by a contract "
Isiah ignored what she said and threw her on the sand.
"You keep doing this, well….this fuc***g hurt, do it one more time and I will… "
" You will do what ? Stop rolling your disgusting body around my neck "
He continued walking as if nothing happened when she followed him immediately saying :" What should I call you ? Master? Lord? Contractor? "
Isiah didn't even look at her when he said:" I am not a control freak, call me Isiah, Isiah Duncan "
"I see, you are his brother ? "
"Never met him though "
Isiah realized after a long time that there were no monsters near this place, he turned around and asked Eijar:"we have been talking for a long time and I haven't encountered anyone, this is suspicious, what do you know about this place ?"
"Probably your stupid as** didn't notice but this place is the edge of the first layer in the world beyond, you were transported from the beginning in the borders but you chose to walk toward the edge"
"What do you mean by the edge ? " Isiah asked.
"The sea is not stable as it appear, it moves so fast that your eyes don't catch its movements, and it not limited by a land in the otherside, the sea end up in a waterfall, this place take to the layer below"
"And why is that dangerous? I think I found my way down to the next layer" Isiah was confused .
" Why do you think I stopped you at the time ? I risked my life and yours , why ? "
Isiah stopped walking and looked at her so she added:" What would happen if someone leveled up to Emperium without the evaluation part? "
"He will die ."
"Exactly "
