"This battle is not over yet," said Headmaster as he stepped closer to the snowy cliff edges.
Raiyenn instinctively stood away from the trio, appearing back to his original spot. In that area, he could witness how much damage did the Headmaster's Ancient Relic dealt. The true power of the Book Of Code.
"Rewrite, rewrite, rewrite! Confuse their strategy! Jumble their memories! Let them remember, what is fake. Let them remember, what is real. Destroy their minds, Memories of n.o.body!" yelled Gillian as he engulfed both parties with the spell.
Z was surprised that the man before him would pull off such a disastrous move. Blinded by rage, ignoring the fallen soldier's words, he had wreaked havoc upon both sides of the battlefield with the single incantation from the Book Of Code he held within his hands.
He could've been helpful, kind even. But today, he chose not to. That's why the trio set out on this mission alone. To prevent the rest from seeing what Gillian was capable of when you pushed his bottom line.
He wasn't a hero, a warrior or a monster. Not even a Headmaster. He was just a bloke who just wants his brother back. Baldwin watched with a blank expression as if he had known that Gillian will respond to the humans in this manner.
As the soldiers from both sides of the battlefield were screaming from the hallucinations, Gillian found it s.a.d.i.s.tically satisfying to watch. The man that stood above the rest, who was aloof from the fields of war was now taking part in one. Not for defending, but for vengeance.
At that moment, he wasn't himself. And Z knew that far too well, he knew what was going to happen if they don't stop their leader from trying to kill the rest of the human race. And that was the most terrifying sight to behold; seeing your leader lose his sanity.
The soldiers were holding their heads in agony. Dropping their guns, they fell to their knees. Twisting in anguish, they shook their battlefield with their tormented wails. This was the ultimate of the man who wielded that spell.
A leader's wrath. The anger of a respectable man. The rage of the Headmaster.
"Do you think Raiyen would be proud?" asked Z, as he looked upon the carnage that the Headmaster had created.
By the time the trio had spoken a word, the soldiers were trying to yank their hairs out from trying to stop the misery they felt.
Raiyen felt empty, no sign of emotion ran through his mind. He was here because of an important mission, so looking at the state of delirium was redundant. Feelings in work meant nothing. The only thing to deduce from the scene now was just how powerful Gillian was.
"They deserved it. They have taken our people and murdered them," replied the man who was seething with rage.
"We've worked so hard for the peace treaty to be in action. Don't you think you've gone a bit too far, Gillian?" asked Z, voice cracking.
The Headmaster remained silent. Z looked at the Headmaster in distrust. Raiyen raised his eyebrow, that was the first time he heard Z's voice crack. But in that situation, he would not be challenging the Headmaster's words or actions.
The man who willingly raised two kids and shaped them into great people was now killing, persecuting, the soldiers of the battlefield. The person who brought all of the Arks together was now going back on his word, the main mission of the organization he had founded.
"What's the point of killing the rest of them? Will you be able to bring your younger brother back?" asked Baldwin, seemingly able to trigger something from Gillian's memory.
Those words continued to ring within the mind of the Headmaster. Where had he heard it before? His wife? His brother?
"It was from you and your wife, you know. Those are the words you asked me when I had destroyed the town which burnt my daughter alive."
Z looked lost. Since when did that happen? Raiyen looked even more confused. He'd known about Abi but he didn't know by that time, the couple and Angry Man knew about each other.
"Time and time again, they've always betrayed us. How long more shall we wait to take action? How much more losses can we take?" asked Gillian, increasing the power of Memories Of n.o.body.
"But no matter what, we can't stoop to their level. This isn't what we wanted. This isn't who you are," pleaded Z, trying to rescue the situation.
