True King's Ecstasy



Kyla looked at the mother and son duo with a wary expression. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, teasing her with their actions and jokes, but there was an underlying tension between them that Kyla couldn't quite put her finger on.

As she watched them interact, Kyla felt like she was caught in the middle of a storm. The air crackled with unspoken words and hidden emotions, and she couldn't help but feel like she was about to get swept away by the tumultuous currents.

Despite her unease, Kyla couldn't tear her gaze away from the pair. There was something fascinating about the way they interacted, something that drew her in despite the immorality that lurked just beneath the surface.

"Ughh~ why are they doing these things in front of me?" She saw them kissing and turned her head to avoid them.

It was almost like they were inviting her with all the weird gestures they made.

But things couldn't go on for too long, as they heard a scream from the direction where Amos and the kids were supposed to be in.

"A scream! Is it a monster attack?" Daphnia asked while quickly breaking whatever they were doing.

She quickly looked at Kyla and she saw the same panicked look on her face and all of them quickly decided to go back.

After getting out of the river, they wore their wet clothes back that were drying, but Daphnia suddenly used a spell to tumble dry all the clothes so it won't be uncomfortable when it comes to fighting.

"I will use levitation, Kyla and Mother try to attack from behind,"

Things quickly got heated, and soon Velian used one of his most powerful spells and flew so he can get a good vision of what was happening.

"What is happening? Why is Amos chasing Ellena and her brother?" It didn't even take him a lot of time to spot them, but he felt confused until he saw the black spots on Amos' body.

"No way! How did he get attacked by that thing? Did it follow us all the way here?" He felt angry.

He couldn't understand how this thing can always annoy him so much. It is almost like this parasite is there to annoy the hell out of him.

"Mother, things are not looking good, It is the parasite again, it looks like we are too late," Velian didn't know how others would react.

He didn't know whether others can take the fact that Amos is not the person that is chasing Ellena, instead, it was another demonized being that cannot be saved.

"Ughh~ how did it get here? I will try to rescue Ellena and her brother, can you deal with Amos?" She didn't know how they can do it without hurting Kyla and the other two.

"I will, even if they object, it's already too late," Leaving those words, Velian reduced his speed and landed in front of Amos, who looked like he was in agony.

Amos's once bright eyes were now dark and empty as he slowly succumbed to the control of the dark parasite. His movements were slow and deliberate, almost as if he was in a trance.

Velian watched him from a distance, his heart heavy with conflict. He knew that Amos was no longer the person he once knew, and yet he couldn't bring himself to kill him. "Amos," he said, his voice laced with emotion. "You need to fight it. You can't let it control you like this."

Ellena saw Velian and she felt like he was here to rescue them, but she didn't know that once someone gets infected there's no coming back for them.

"My lord, please help our leader, he is acting strange and there's something wrong with him," She said almost crying.

She couldn't bear to see Amos' face like this, as it looked nothing like the kind and handsome face he used to have.

Kyla and Daphnia also joined the incident, but both of them didn't look any good. They were exhausted from running without any breaks and now they saw Amos looking like a demon.

"R-U-N, it is... Taking over," In an agonising tone, Amos muttered those words. Velian wanted to see whether he can fight against it, since he is not fully controlled, but killing him before his body get invaded by this black parasite was the best choice.

Even though he will have to face the earth of Kyla and the other two by doing it, he wanted to give Amos his death as a human rather than being that doesn't even have any values and morals.

"Listen!" While Amos was holding his head, Velian quickly decided to tell others what he was going to do.

"There's no coming back for him, this is the parasite that slowly converts humans body and demonizes them, if Amos willfully accepted the parasite he would have been able to keep his personality, but then he won't be Amos anymore,"

"Now he is opposing the parasite, so that means sooner or later, he's going to turn into a terrifying demon, so we don't have time to be kind, I want to give him a human death,"

Velian said that and looked at Kyla and the other two kids, who were almost on the verge of crying hearing his words.

"Let him die while he is human, don't stop me," He had no idea how the others would react but Ellena was conflicted so much that she felt she was actually going crazy.

"Nooooo! Nooooo! Amos can't die, I have to tell that I accept him as my father, he can't die, please don't kill him,"

And just like Velian expected, she opposed his idea. He knew she won't be able to accept the fact that Amos is going to die that easily.

"Kyla, quickly tell, he will turn into a demon within another few minutes,"

Velian was going to kill Anos either way, but he just wanted to see whether he will regret it later became by doing this he would offend all of Amos's group members.

"I- I, I don't know," She said almost like a woman with no idea about what was happening. Her brain stopped working. Midway through that she actually couldn't proceed with what was the correct decision and what she should do.
