Life didn't get easier, even in another world.

Chương 419: One fate, two contracts

Red dyed the skies.

Crimson dome, crimson thunderbolts, crimson cracks. This ominous hue shaded the whole land. The whole world. His whole world. The body lying still in his hands, all crimson.

"....."

Despite the hot, trickling blood, the boy's body was frozen cold. No pulse, no breath, no energy. Dead.

It didn't take much for Roy to understand the situation. He wasn't surprised, and neither was he in denial. He'd already witnessed too many ends and experienced many more losses for him to lose rationality over a young boy's passing.

He was accustomed to death.

Even so... What was this itchy feeling in his chest?

"Fool..."

No response, no retort. It was as quiet as the void.

The redhead's lips quivered as he voiced his words in low whispers. 

"Didn't you want to travel the land? What about the orphanages you talked about?"

The lifeless body being pressed to his chest remained as silent as the corpse that it was. The corpse was in a gruesome state. The whole thing had deep scars all over as if it was cracked from head to toe. Its limbs and meats threatened to fall apart at any second. Making direct contact with Chaos was equivalent to experiencing the most painful and dreadful death one could have. 

The man didn't care about the blood drenching his clothes or the damaged condition of the boy as he held it close to his heart.
