An entity appeared before our path, making the giant owl abruptly stop its flight as it flapped his wings in the middle of the skies.

The being before us wasn’t gigantic, nor was it grotesque like Beelzebub.

However, it emanated such a strong deathly presence, to the point that it felt like a hand was grasping my small heart and was squeezing at it.

I felt as if the air of my lungs disappeared in an instant, with dread being the only thing that took over my consciousness.

My entire body began to tremble in fear. I don’t know why, but my eyes couldn’t even blink as I looked at this entity.

It was just a skeleton. In fact, I’ve even seen skeletons before.

But this skeleton… its presence was probably just as imposing as Beelzebub… but because I was seeing it from close up, it was turning me insane.

My hands began to tremble as I felt the heat of my body disappear.

My eyes almost began to sink into my eye sockets as my lips were trembling.

I began to release cold air out of my mouth. At this point, I felt like I was running out of air, as if I was drowning into some sort of abyssal malice. It was as if my very being was being dragged into eternal darkness.

Just… what is this?!

Is this… what my parents always had to fight?!

It feels… hopeless.

Completely hopeless!

I’m going to die…

I’m going to die!

"Sylphy, resist!"

Suddenly, my mother woke me up from my daze as the abyssal darkness suddenly dissipated. Soon, the warmth of her holy light encompassed my entire body.

The abyssal darkness and the utter fear that almost took over me disappeared, but it quickly came back when I looked at the being in front of us once more.

"Kakaka… what a lovely child you got there!" it said creepily.

The skeleton was completely white, covered in dark, spiky armor. Human faces that were howling in agony adorned the surface of the armor it wore.

It wielded a blade, a large black blade on its right hand. On top of that, it emanated a dark and deathly presence, its eye sockets glowing with crimson red light.

"A Death-attribute undead familiar… you’re a Nether Death Overlord, aren’t you?" my mother muttered, gritting her teeth as her domain expanded across the skies.

My father quickly jumped off the owl as gigantic blazing wings emerged from his back, flapping as it aided him in moving at high altitude!

FLAAAASH!

"I’ll finish it off!" he roared as the skeleton looked at him leisurely.

Wait… why is it so relaxed?

Isn’t my father strong?

BOOM!

My father released a storm of flames towards the skeleton. In response, the skeleton covered itself in a barrier of darkness. Surprisingly, the fire was completely useless against it.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

After that, the two began to clash against one another in the skies, while my mother fired holy light arrows at the skeleton from afar.

The skeleton was able to deflect them easily while it was fighting against father. On top of that, its demonic black blade was pushing him down.

"Unngh…!"

ndαsnοvεl.cοm

My father… groaned.

The skeleton showed off an amazing usage of the blade as his sword began to pierce through his defenses and break his fiery armor that coated his body.

My father continued to fight and intercept it, releasing explosive firestorms every second with each slash of his blade.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

However, the skeleton’s soul continued to emanate such a powerful yet deathly presence. It was so strong that it began to consume father’s flames.

FLAAAASSSH!

"T-This power…! It can’t be…" muttered my father in disbelief.

"Oh, yes. It can be," replied the skeleton, rushing towards my father. It destroyed any type of attack he sent at it as if his blade negated any kind of element.

CLASH! BOOM! SLASH! FLASH!

"RAAAAH!"

My father roared fiercely as his entire body turned into flames. Soon, gigantic claws appeared from within his body as they began to shroud the skeleton with explosive bombardments of flames, flames so strong they could turn anything into ashes!

Yet… yet…!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"UNNGAGGH?!"

The skeleton flashed like a black ray of light near my father, as his attacks turned into nothing against it.

Its blade then reached his stomach, with the gigantic demon blade piercing through it like a hot knife through butter.

My father vomited blood as his eyes were filled with despair.

"Gahhh…!"

No…

N-No….

T-This can’t be real…

"Die, hero."

"Syl…phy…"

SLAAAAASSSH!

The skeleton then cut my father’s entire body in two as my father’s eyes looked at me for the last time. At that moment… my entire world turned upside down.

No…

"NOOOOOO!!!"

My mom roared angrily as several flashes of light came from her domain, reaching the skeleton from all sides.

CLAAAAASSSHHH!

"Hahaha! It’s useless," Said the skeleton, flashing towards us as it suddenly collided with a barrier of light.

CLASH!

"Hmm?"

My mother pointed her open palms at the barrier while gritting her teeth, her eyes glowing with bright gold light.

"Allan…!" she muttered, generating a gigantic amount of holy light from within her body before releasing it in one go. It resembled the reincarnation of the sun’s light.

FLAAAAAASSSSHHH!

BOOOMMM!!!

The flashing beam soon reached the skeleton, quickly reaching it.

It was sent flying into the skies, groaning even.

"Unngrgaaggh…! S-Such holy power! But…!"

SLAAAASSSSHH!

However, its blade cut through holy light itself, generating a dark shockwave that clashed with the barrier with immense strength.

CRASH!

At that moment, the entire barrier broke apart as mother gritted her teeth and generated a holy light, quickly covering me.

After that… she threw me down.

"Live, Sylphy!"

"Ah…! Nooooo!"

FLAAAAAASH!

The dark light reached mother as she fought with everything she had.

However, the blade suddenly slashed through her body, and her head… was cut off.

Blood started to gush out of her neck as my eyes began to cry sorrowful tears.

My entire heart was broken into pieces as my world was fragmented into nothingness.

The owl suddenly flashed with bright light and exploded, aiming to kill the skeleton.

Unfortunately, amidst the smoke, it still lived.

With none opposing it, it flew towards me faster than I was falling.

"Future hero, I cannot let you live," it said.

Its blade then reached me as something sharp pierced through my body.

Horrendous pain soon took ahold of my entire being.

SLASH!

The darkness quickly devoured my tiny body as I was sliced in half.

I… died.
