Star Eater

Chapter 509: Chapter 509

Lucia's Point of View

Pendragon Estate

"So, Arthur went to deal with another Demon?" Alwin asked as he repositioned himself to an upright position in the bed.

"So he said."

"That sounds like him." He seemed somewhat down. "Always out fighting for the future. Even this fight has a purpose. Despite what he said, blowing off some steam is likely just a bonus."

Inside The Void

"Freeing this space of you is just a bonus! There are no words for how bad I needed this! Besides, Arceana can always be put somewhere else if needed!" I cried out victoriously as I had killed Graham once more as his blood splattered across me. "How many times can you come back!? Please tell me you still got some fight left in you!" Graham was looking very childish, on the verge of five years old.

He smiled at me. "And I'm thankful you're alive. I'm sorry I couldn't-"

Hopping onto the side of his bed, I sat down, which cut him off. "It wasn't your fault. You told me to teleport... I couldn't do it."

"Not many can under that kind of pressure with no training." I nodded, but we soon fell into a lull once more. "When do you think Arthur will be back?"

"When he has finally defeated Graham, I imagine. Do you think he's okay?"

"Probably. Honestly, after everything I have seen, I doubt many out there could harm Arthur." Alwin told me. "He'll probably return any second now after a somewhat tough fight. That Demon gave him a rough time before, but I doubt Arthur would challenge him without a plan for victory."

Arthur's Point of View

Inside The Void

As I floated there, I studied Graham. "This must be horrifying to you. No longer able to kill yourself. Given your state as a fetus, I imagine this would be a worse punishment than actually killing you." I told him and knew he could understand me after my interactions with him as a baby. Demon logic for the win in this torturous case. "Alive, but never getting older. I mean, this barely qualifies as life. It would be the perfect way to leave you."

My eyes drifted to the flower that was still here from my first test with Camoa and Typhon long ago. It floated there. Unchanged and unaffected by time. Graham would never grow old here. He would forever be this... This unborn abomination. I changed back to my regular form and studied him for a moment.

"Part of me really wants to leave you here. Floating here just like that flower. A constant reminder of what you did, and revenge for your actions." Poking him slightly, it wiggled but did little else. "However, if I ever do bring someone else here, specifically Arceana, I don't want you to latch onto her somehow. So, that being said, I will grant you the only mercy left to give."

Bringing my hands up together in a clap, blood exploded from between my palms and floated around the void. My hands slowly opened as a little more blood came out. Some of it drifted into my face, but I just watched it. Waiting there. Unblinking. Waiting for Graham to return once more. After all, who knew how young he could actually get. He could have one more in him.

"Come on." I whispered. "Come on. Just one more time."
