Chapter 38- Eight Darkness miracle

          
          
          He cleaved the survivor's head off, and shouted eight darkness miracle..
          
          
          Larchen, it was a joke.. i wanted to make you fight better.. Fowling said
          
          Larchen said nothing.. there was silence.
          
          You shouldn't take offense so easily from a joke.
          
          There was silence..
          
          You are too sensitive...
          
          I'm about to die, and you are saying this stll ? How about sorry..
          
          You won't die but you can get seriously hurt...
          
          And that would make you sad ? i doubt it, he said.. 
          
          It was a joke Larchen, Fowliang got angry.. Her face were red.. End this right now.. Okay ?
          
          Fine, said Larchen.. We should get together tonight, all of us, and you..
          
          Stoooop, Fowliang bellowed in anger.. don't say such things.. you can't take them back...
          
          Whatever... Eight darkness miracle.... number 4... come out
          
          The winds shook, and time stopped, world was frozen and it was creaking as if it was an expanding tree, sun
          shined in silence...
          
          Everyone's nerves have gone loose.. They were feeling some madness pushing their perception, the scene
          continued for a moment, then the survivor were gone with the number 4. There was silence...
          
          The lines have rallied with demons without a leader and they won the battle routing the demons..
          
          ...
          
          The town were busy with life, it was a resounding victory.. People were running totheir duties , there were quite
          a rush. There was a stranger in their way, apparently wanting to talk...
          
          Ehm, yes ? Fowliang asked...
          
          The man had a strange attire.. None of them could recognize it.. he seemed to be from exiled lands, uncharted
          places probably..
          
          Ah, here is the candidate for our threesome Larchen said, we can call him to our room near the ocean... And you can
          get your thing wettened properly.. perhaps he can stay around.
          
          
          The man suddenly shouted, I adore you elders... He bowed deeply.. Please i wanna join your faction...
          
          Fowliangs eyes were red... due to stuff Larchen has said, and she started cryig in full bawling tears...
          
          Ehm, the dude was flabber gasted, or not.. he lifted in his hands in defense...
          
          You think crying will save you ? naive... Larchen said dryly
          
          Truth stands on its own, Larchen, i've done nothing wrong, she said.
          
          That's more like it, then i'll drop it..  Don't ever do that again..
          
          Fowliang wiped her boogies out of her face.. And straigthened her back..
          
          You are welcome she said, why don't you go to the military headquarters, they'll assign you to frontlines next time, 
          so you can join in action, by the way what's your name ?
          
          Im Knispa, the man said, thank you very much..
          
          ...
          
          Huh were am i ? Survivor asked.. 
          
          Sit, read something, relax... the number four said.. 
          
          The survivor has put his leg on to a stand, it was made of silver.. It made a metallic thudding sound. 
          
          What was that scuffle.. i thought i was dead.. i'd show them bastards death still.. So what's your deal..
          
          You are helping me ? he asked.. i need to go back to forest, can you take me there ? The master will
          fix me right up...Our demon sect is quite nice.. you can get some favors for it.. Are you to aid us in our 
          fight ? Our benefits would make you very happy..
          
          I could arrange you a nice rank, in the Eight Casuistries sect.. We can become buddies.. We can help 
          each other, it could be smt special..
         Number 4 dissipated as a smoke suddenly.. after the survivor's long tirade.. and ten he formed again at
         the other side of the room.. He flew this way and that way as if to amuse himself for a while..
         
         Really, always.. they are like this.. he mumbled with a silvery voice..
         
         I'm an assistant of the even-house... i can't help you, i just do what i'm told.. I'm paid commission fo my care
         of "people". A curious, red mirror like portal shone.. then there were some curious sounds coming from it,
         some workshop tools and people's voices...
         
         Larchen stepped in to the room and took a few steps for him to stop, seemed like he was running.. The
         martial hall has fallen... number 4 he said.. They are chasing elders out now..
         
         Can i look at what's goin on the other side, and.. who is this ?
         
         Ah, there was a quite a battle on the other side, how is your adventures going in eight darkness miracle ?
         
         Ehm, busy as ever..
         
         Say what... Survivor said... does that woman know you've clone here ? Don't tell me you didn't tell her..
         
         Ofc i told her.. idiot... She is probably wailing about it even now..
         
         Anyway, we are about to be annihilated.... even-sect will not be happy...
         
         ...
         
        The busy rush in town were settling down.. Are yo going to tell me what you did to that demon ? Larchen...
        Where is he ?
        
        Rmemeber when i told you ive found some profitable trade route.. ?
        
        Uh barely , you've sensed a mechanical clone there ? I thoght it was a dead end...
        
        I thought so too, but he was picked up by some large faction called even-house... Anyway i've made quite a profit
        over there and they've given me this traveling portal pocket like device.
        
        Then what..
        
        I've asked for more responsibility so they have given me (my clone) control of a few branches near the obscure lands..
        Recently we've been trying hard to hold on to them.. Fighting has been brutal, from what i've heard, daily attacks
        in and out.. One side takes the place next day another.
    
        And why do al these things..?
        
        If i get a prominent posiition over there we are set for life.. they will helps us out wth forces too.. invaluable allies..
    
        That sounds like a fantasy.. Larchen, and have you cheated on e over there hmm ? tell me all the ladies..
        
        Nothing like that.. so illogical..
        
        I'll kill you bastard...
        
        ....
        
        So what should we do... Larchen.. it seems serious..
        
        Larchen looked at the survivor.. wanna join a cause ? for your life.. 
        
        Uh... i was a goner already, survivor said.. but i'm quite loyal to my Eight Casuistries sect.. im afraid..
        
        You cant be loyal to anyone if you are dead.. number 4 said.. Serve us, and gain valuable rewards..
        you can slaughter at will, and gain rapid cultivation...
        
        Survivor looked about... then sighed.. i hate politics...why are you squirming, just kill me..
    
        We are at a critical phase... for the war, your entrance can really help us out.. you will be rewarded well, think about it..
        
        Well, if you can heal my body... its reallyin a bad shape, otherwise i'm not much use to you...
        
        Number 4, call the medic...
        
        A midget appeared out of the portal... Ah what do we have here.... Sign here and here.... It binds your service in our war
        in return for the cost of your medical expenses.. She seemed to be quite used to signing up people for the war..i'll
        assign you to forest duty, exploration...
        
        Who is the councillor.. By degree of the council ? 
        
        It doesn't mattter, everyone is welcome if they sign the document.. You will be bound by a loyalty spell
        
        That sounds... shifty, survivor said.. Alth we had similar customs.
        
        This guy looks like a killer mechanical Larchen said.. better take it with me.. we are a bit of a bind.. registrator... Larchen
        wouldn't send him here, if he was a weakling... The last guy he sent was a serial killer....
        
        Fine, fine, it seems all in order, the midgetress approved... You better hurry after i heal him..
