A Reaper's Philosophy-Chapter 51: Grayson’s Death

"Strong punch." I said out loud.

Although I had successfully blocked her punch, it felt like the bones of my hand got slightly fractured. It didn’t feel like punching a fist made of flesh, but a steel wall.

"Come, I’ll play with you a little." I said to the female dark figure as I gestured for her to attack me.

She then disappeared from my view then reappeared behind me, swinging a powerful kick. I was quick to react and managed to block the incoming kick with both my hands. Despite blocking, I was still sent flying across the room and crushed into a wall.

"What was it that you said to me Terry? Not even my helper can defeat your Monarch? Well, he looks pretty defeated to me." Moíra said to Terry in a mocking tone.

Terry then charged at Moíra in hopes to silence him, but the dark female figure got in the way and blocked Terry’s attack before it could land.

"Why do you fight me?" Moíra asked as his eyes glowed once again.

"Such mispplaced loyalty you have to your so called Monarch. He cannot even protect himself, let alone you." Moíra said out loud.

"Hey, who let you decide who I can and cannot protect?" I said stepping out of the now broken wall I just crashed into.

I dusted myself off then said, "I’m done playing."

I then let my death aura run wild and directed an unbearable pressure on Moíra. The density of my dark cloud decreased. I was no longer limit myself.

Moíra’s body began to tremble as he watched me slowly approach him unharmed.

"Don’t let him ask you any questions. He will know the fate of any question he asks!" Terry warned me.

"Is that all?" I said to her.

"Who are-." Moíra tried to ask, but then got cut off midway.

Before he could finish speaking, I grabbed him by the face then smashed his head into the ground.

"That’s not a problem. He’s extremely slow." I said out loud.

’Hmm, he isn’t all that strong actually. Not much stronger than when Terry was still alive.’ I thought to myself.

The feminine dark figure then suddenly launched a fist towards me. I swiftly dodged it then casually slapped her across the room.

Azrael and the others then quickly rushed into the tower after everything seemed to have calmed down.

"What took you guys so long." I said to them.

"There was some sort of invisible shield that we couldn’t get past. I could sense you were on the other side, but we couldn’t see anything nor get through. We looked around and found a small opening on the shield, it was slowly sealing. We attacked the small opening and were finally able to come here." Azrael said to me.

"Haha, weak. You couldn’t even destroy that shield?" I said as I laughed at him.

Suddenly, rumbles could be heard from where the female dark figure went flying. Bright blue, glowing eyes could be seen in the distance.

She stepped out of the shadows, now looking very different from before. Bright blue lines, that made an odd looking pattern on her face, began to appear from her eyes making a pathway all the way to her mouth. The lines pulsed with power.

Her body also had some changes as it now looked like it had stars moving on the surface of her skin. Her appearance looked as though the universe itself took the shape of a female body. ’Your fate is clear to me!’ She spoke for the first time.

Her mouth remained shut, but her voice could be audibly heard by everyone, as though she was speaking right next to us.

"You will all die here." Moíra said to me whilst still on the floor.

I then kicked him out of the way then conjured a scythe onto my hands.

I was still very confident in my speed so I immediately charged at her and immediately appeared behind her. It looked like I teleported. Just as I was about to swing my scythe, I noticed a massive spiral on her back, like that of a galaxy.

The spiral rotated clockwise and before I knew it, I was kept in a trance. I could suddenly see my life flash before my eyes, but not the life I have lived thus far, but the life ahead. The more I looked at the spiral the further into my future I could see.

I then saw a vision of a massive looking reaper that was twice my size, holding me up in the air by the neck. Unfortunately, I could not make out its face. The tailed Lilith was a few distance away rushing towards me whilst screaming something. I couldn’t hear her though. All I could see was my future.

The reaper then tightened his grip around my neck and stuck his hand into my stomach. The light in my now dark, scarlet eyes slowly began to dim as he tossed my body away.

In present time, I was simply standing still and looking into the distance in a daze. I no longer had control over my body. My scythe dropped from my hands. I was now completely defenseless.

The dark female figure then looked at me with shock and awe as she was witnessing my fate as well, but in greater detail. She then held my face and kissed my lips passionately.

I then snapped out of the trance and woke up to a tongue moving inside my mouth. I felt like electricity was rushing into my body, which gave me chills from head to toe. She then took back her lips, leaving a trail of saliva from my lips to hers.

"What the hell did I just see?" I asked her completely disregarding the kiss.

’Your fate.’ Her voice sounded in my head.

’Moíra, get up you wimp.’ She said to the reaper I had kicked earlier.

"Is he dead yet?" He asked still lying on the floor attempting to play dead.

"How is he so pathetic?" I asked out loud.

I could see neither of us cared to fight anymore so I raised a question. I wanted to know about my fate as well as get more information to see if I could still somehow gain the reaper’s power

’He decided to focus his strength elsewhere.’ She said to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

’This planet, Myaló, was home to a very advanced civilization. Their technological advancements could not be matched anywhere else in the universe. Moíra decided to spend his time learning the science of this civilization. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Myalóns reproduced incredibly quickly, but their lifetime was short. They lived up to 20 years or so.

Unfortunately, the Myalóns civilization advanced far too quickly. They quickly found a solution to their issues with their lifespans and were able to constract immortal bodies for themselves by transferring their very souls.

As a reaper, Moíra could not have that. So, using what he had learned, he merged the immortal bodies with his cloud. Seeing that their growth in scientific advancements could not be stopped, he decided to completely change the genetic make-up of the Myalóns, and made them become one entity sharing one fate under his control.

Just enough organs were left to keep them alive and to breed, but everything else is a machine. Even the planet itself is a living machine and is completely under his control. Moíra isn’t much of a fighter, but his got a good head on him.’ She explained to me as we walked towards Moíra.

She had no mouth so it wasnt clear where the voice came from. It was like she was speaking right next to my ear but was far away. Like she was in my head, but also wasn’t. It was really weird.

"He sounds like a psycho." I said out loud.

"Why did you stop attacking me. Does it have something to do with what I saw?" I asked her in a serious tone.

’That is meant to happen, but you already know too much. I’m afraid I cannot tell you any more about it or you might change your fate. You have enough power to do that.’ She said standing next to Moíra then picked him up with her tail.

"I just saw my own death. If there is anything I can do to change that, I’ll do it!" I said to her sternly.

’It has to happen.’ She said to me then gave the tailed Lilith a lengthy stare.

"What the hell does that mean?" I asked her.

’I cannot say.’ She replied.

’We do not know the location of the Legendary Reaper’s planet either.’ She said changing the subject.

’However, there is one reaper that has met the Legendary Reaper personally and has been to his planet. Unfortunately, he has been imprisoned by Theós himself.’ She added.

"Where can I find this reaper?" I asked her.

’Close... Right at the borders of this sector is a black hole that leads to another dimension. That is where he has been imprisoned. Entering this dimension would naturally tear your soul apart, but you should be strong enough to pass through.’ She said to me.

"Should be hugh?," I said then began to walk away.

I suddenly came to a halt then looked at Moíra hiding behind his helper. I swiftly appeared in front of him then grabbed his neck.

"Having the power to see someone’s fate can be very useful." I said out loud as I tightened my grip around his neck.
