The Mirror Of God
Episode 17: Reunion
At Kevin's house, they sit down and plan something to meet Hendrick. They want to save Hendrick from the Underworld as soon as possible. But they don't know how to get it out, because in the Underworld all spirits are connected to Hades, if anyone comes out of the Underworld, Hades will know about it.
Chloe was silent, she felt very familiar with the Underworld, as if the memories of the Underworld had reappeared, but were very vague and very difficult to remember, what Chloe felt was simply no stranger to places in the Underworld.
Theo starts to open talks with Kevin.
"How many States are there in the Underworld?" Ask Kevin
"There are 5 States, Tafos, Aname, Limni, Geyfra, and Hades." Said Kevin
"What's the difference?" Ask Theo
"You must be very strong to enter other lands, at every entrance of the land there are guards." Said Kevin
"What's next in the country?" Ask Theo
"The punishment will be reduced, the inhabitants of the land will feel the torment of the god Hades every month, a terrible torment. The god Hades sent his guards to torture us and the greatest torment was in the land of Taphos." Kevin said it explained
"When did the torture begin?"
"for 3 days, the torture of the state leader is lower than the torture of people like us."
"I want to be honest with you Kevin." Theo
"What?" Ask Kevin
"We came from above." Theo
"It's a fairy tale, we've been born here and no one can possibly make it to the Upper World." Said Kevin
"You all actually came from the Upper World, then you met death and you moved here." Theo
"It's a fairy tale, we're all forbidden to mention the word."
"What word? Dead?" Ask Theo
Kevin nodded. Then, Evan approached Theo and Kevin.
"Theo, it seems true, who has died and headed for the Underworld, their entire memories of the Upper World disappeared and were filled with new memories of the Underworld, so they live here without knowing their past." Said Evan
"I know Evan, I have a plan. But we have to get out of here before Hades' emissary comes, is it possible that we can win against Hades' emissary?" Ask Theo
"I don't know, but I think with the teamwork we have, we can win." Said Evan
"Actually who are you?" Ask Kevin
"I didn't know you could return to the Upper World or not Kevin, I doubt your body is still intact, if your body isn't intact it would be very difficult to return you to the Upper World, but we've come here with a purpose, we've got a purpose, my friends Hendrick and Elliad are here and we want to give them back." Theo explained
"The elliad!?" Kevin was surprised when Theo mentioned the name
"What's up Kevin?" Ask Theo
"He is the ruler of the Land of Geyfra, the mysterious archer wolf, I remember the first time he came to the Land of Tafos, he destroyed half of this Land and he easily drove all the way to the Land of Geyfra, he said, then he took control of the Geyfra Country." Said Kevin
"Maybe the person you're referring to is a different person than the one we're looking for."
"I don't know, but she's very strong, very, very strong, Susan and she together conquered the Land of Geyfra." Said Kevin
Chloe is shocked to hear Susan's name, and Chloe turns to Kevin and asks about Susan.
"Susan!? Does he have magic?" Ask Chloe
"The magic is strong, the magic of darkness." Said Kevin
Chloe knows that it is her mother, meaning she has a chance to meet her mother again, but Chloe is worried that her mother will not remember her, since he had been in the Underworld and also he had no idea, when he met later, his mother became their enemy or friend.
"Oh yeah, how do we meet Hendrick?" Ask Theo
"You can meet him at his palace, at the far end of the country." Said Kevin
"How long have you been there?"
"12 Hours." Said Kevin.
"Let's get ready, we have to get out of here before Hades' messenger comes." Theo
"Can I come?" Ask Kevin
Theo nodded. Afterwards, Theo, Chloe, Evan, Baron, Derry, and Kevin head for Hendrick's palace, their journey taking 12 Hours.
***
Tafos State: Hendrick Palace
They arrived in front of Hendrick's palace, there were several guards standing in front of the palace gate, Theo approached the guard.
"Who are y'all? What do you need?" Ask the guard
"I want to meet your leader."
"You are not allowed, our leader has no time with commoners like you."
Theo smiled, then approached the guard.
"I don't want to be rude, but I can destroy your body without any pain, you want to feel it?" Ask Theo
"Just try it."
Then, Kevin pulled Theo away.
"You're crazy, he's so strong! He's from the Spartans just like your friend." Said Kevin
"It turns out he's my brother." Baron
The baron approached the guard.
"Hey Spartan! Let us in!" Shouting Baron
"Believe me."
The no-nonsense baron immediately raised his fist towards the guard, then the guard bounced tens of meters away, Kevin was surprised by the power that the Baron had.
"That's all?" Ask Baron
Suddenly the guard got up and jumped quickly towards the Baron, the Baron was unable to dodge the attack from the guard and was hit by his punch.
Brak!
The Baron's body crashed and toppled because of the guard's blow.
"Damn it, he's strong." Baron
The guard ran towards the Baron again and returned to deliver his punch, but this time the Baron dodged the blow and struck back the guard right in his stomach.
Bugh!
The guard resisted the Baron's blow and sent a blow to the Baron's face.
Brak!
They fought fiercely, punch after punch they lay each other, the sound of blows sounded strong and terrible, Kevin who was watching did not believe the fight that was in front of him.
The baron and the guard kept fighting, the others just watched without helping the Baron, because they knew it was the Baron's pride, so the Baron was also unlikely to want to be helped.
The baron began to fatigue, he did not expect the strength of the guard, the Baron also realized, that the guard would never tire, because he was not a living being.
"Spartan! Where is your pride! Prove it!" Shouting Baron
"Just talk to your stinky mouth." Said the guard
Until finally Baron was hit very hard, right on his chin, Baron fell and fainted, he could not get up again.
"Ah, he lost." Theo
"I'll cure him." Derry
The guard wanted to attack Derry who was willing to help the Baron, but Theo immediately shot a "Silapidated" light from his hand, the attack hit the hand of the guard, until the guard's hand was gone.
The whuzzzz....
The guard shouted, as his hand suddenly disappeared.
"Damn it! Who are you!" Shouted the guard
"My name is Theo, remember one thing. Your god Hades, I'll kill you with my hand, if the time comes, you'll all be free from this abominable curse." Theo
Suddenly, the guard recalled something, his past memories of the Upper World flashed. When he heard Theo's name, he remembered that it was his God, the Spartans had sworn to serve Theo, even until they died, the guard realized, that he had broken the oath, that he had, because he's been whipping up to Hades.
"I'm sorry God." Said the guard
Then, the guard bowed to Theo, telling him to get up.
"Wake up, you don't have to bow down and I'm not a god." Theo
"I'm sorry, because I broke my vow."
"Can we come in?" Ask Theo
"For you gods, whatever it is." Said the guard
"What's your name?"
"Gobar."
Theo conjures a bright white light from his hand and touches Gobar's body, then both of Gobar's hands reappear. Derry also managed to wake the Baron with his medicine.
"Thank God."
"All right, let's go inside." Theo
"My guard is stupid." Hendrick
Kevin trembled to see Hendrick, for he saw for himself Hendrick's cruelty to his people.
"Hendrick! Come back to us!" Shouted Evan
"Back, I don't know you guys." Hendrick
"Hey Hendrick, will we bet?" Ask Theo
"bet?"
"Let's fight, if I manage to dodge your attacks 30 times, you have to trust us." Theo
"Hahahahahahaha, don't fantasize often. No one can avoid my attack." Hendrick
"There's Hendrick!" Shouts Chloe
"Who?"
"He." Chloe pointed towards Theo
Hendrick was surprised, he did not remember them at all, but from what they said, Hendrick felt that it was the truth.
"When do we fight?" Ask Hendrick
"Now." Theo
Hendrick got out of his chair and approached Theo. Theo told the others to stay away.
"We're doing it downtown." Hendrick
"All right."
Hendrick then disappeared, his movements were indeed very fast, it seemed like he had reached the center of the city. Kevin was surprised to see Hendrick's speed was very fast. Kevin also does not know that Hendrick is his son.
Then they all together head downtown to see Hendrick and Theo fight.
***
Tafos State: City Center
They went back to the city centre and took 12 hours, when they got to the city centre, they saw Hendrick waiting.
"Slowly, I've been waiting since 12 hours ago." Hendrick
Theo smiled, he was very familiar with Hendrick's nature, because they had traveled together for 1 year, and no matter how many times Hendrick tried to attack Theo in his training, Theo was never one of his attacks.
"Let's get started." Theo
As the fight begins, Hendrick immediately strikes at Theo, but Theo can clearly see Hendrick's attack, as his sword slashes down Theo's neck, easily dodging the attack.
"One." Theo
Hendrick was really surprised, his attack could be avoided easily by Theo, Hendrick thought it was just a coincidence, everyone watching was also surprised because anyone could avoid Hendrick's attack.
Hendrick is attacking Theo, he is increasing his speed.
Swaaash! Sss!
Theo could still see the attack from Hendrick easily and again Theo dodged Hendrick's attack.
"Two." Theo
"Damn it! This time I'm not gonna mess around." Hendrick
Hendrick again attacked Theo, but this attack was completely blind, the attack could also be avoided by Theo easily.
"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight...." Theo continued to count the attacks he had avoided
Hendrick also did not stop to continue attacking Theo.
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, three decades, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...."
Hendrick stopped the attack. He's moving away from Theo.
"Ah, ass attack." Theo
Hendrick jumped and suddenly he disappeared, he appeared behind Theo and attacked Theo deri behind his body, again Theo dodged his attack, Theo pretended to fall to avoid his attack.
"I'm falling, eighteen." Theo
Hendrick completely exhausted his patience, in a sleeping position Theo was attacked by Hendrick's sword, and again Theo can easily avoid Hendrick's attack, even though in the position he was asleep.
"Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five." Theo counting
Hendrick stopped attacking, he shouted and his body emitted such a bright light, Theo had seen that light when he fought the Minotour Devil and was killed.
"This time you're really gonna beat me!" Shouted Hendrick
Hendrick made another attack on Theo, Theo dodged again, but this time the attack was very fast. Theo began to get serious in avoiding Hendrick's attack.
"twenty tasty, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine."
Count thirty, Theo did not dodge and stay still, until the sword thrust Hendrick loudly pierced Theo's stomach, Hendrick yelled happily, because finally he could hit Theo's body.
"You lost." Hendrick
Theo smiled, then his body disappeared. Until Theo suddenly appeared behind Hendrick, he opened his palm, came out a light from his palm, was very small that light and shot Hendrick in the back very strongly.
"Thirty." Theo
Hendrick was lying down because of the attack, he had not expected to meet a person as strong as Theo.
"Who are you?" Ask Hendrick
"I'm your friend." Theo
"I have friends?" Ask Hendrick
"You've got a lot of friends, me, Baron, Elliad, Evan, Chloe, Derry, we're all your friends." Theo
Theo reached out his hand to Hendrick, to help him stand up. To Hendrick's shocking memory of the Upper World returned, he immediately hugged Theo.
"I didn't think I'd see you." Hendrick
Hendrick also just realized, his father is Kevin, he looked at Kevin and ran towards Kevin. He tightly hugged his father's body.
"Dad.." Hendrick
"Dad?" Ask Kevin
"Yes, I'm your son's father, maybe I forgot, but I'm happy to see you." Hendrick
"I don't know anything." Said Kevin
Hendrick also realized that his father was dead. Hendrick was actually sad, but how else, he was also dead and in the Underworld.
"How many years has Theo been?" Ask Hendrick
"5 years since you were killed."
"When it's been really messed up, I feel like I've been leading this country for hundreds of years." Hendrick
"Will you come with us, Hendrick? We'll catch up with Elliad, then kill Hades." Theo
"Elliad, he's changed. He's very strong here, I fought him and I lost."
"We will persuade Elliad to return to the Upper World." Theo said
"Is my body still intact?" Ask Hendrick
"Still."
Chloe who had just been silent then shouted, her screams were very strong, everyone who was there was shocked because of the scream from Chloe.
"Yahoooogh!!! You all have to die." Chloe said
Chloe read a magic, suddenly from the sky there was a lot of rain of fire, Theo and his friends avoided the rain of fire, when the rain of fire stopped, Chloe disappeared and a very heavy voice appeared out of nowhere.
"Son, what's your purpose for my place."
It turns out that it was Hades' voice.
"To kill you, where is my friend!?" Shouted Theo
"You'll never win boy, no will, that woman I'll eat if you lose to me."
"We'll see."
Earthquakes suddenly occur, from within the earth appear skull-shaped creatures with a sword.
"So this is all?" Ask Theo
"It's gonna be easy." Hendrick
"Ah, finally." Baron
"You ready?" Ask Theo
"Very ready!" Shouted them all in unison
"Groan!"
They fight against the skull and Chloe is kidnapped by Hades, while there are still many secrets they do not know about the Underworld, is it possible that Theo made it through all of them?
