💀The Keeper Of The Underworld; Last Stand: Part 59💀

3rd POV
"Activate the 'Thunderstorm Spear'!" Vil says as he holds the spear tightly.

"Registration completed. Releasing the lock of the safety device, sighting support mode activated."

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

"T-The door is going to break!" Epel stutters out.

"It has been hit by the attack of 'Thunderstorm Spear', but it doesn't seem to be affected at all. How powerful....!" Rook grunts out.

"They have been kept inside a freezer for more than a thousand years, so they must have really wanted to go on a rampage." Vil huffs out. The Titan hits the door one more time.

"The door broke down!" Epel yelps out.

"GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The Titan roars as it enters the Asylum.

"Come, I'll be your opponent!" Vil shouts towards the Titan, gaining it's attention quickly. Focusing all their magic power into the Spear, Vil takes aim and blasts the Titan with the concentrated magic power. "Take this!" The Titan was close to being push off to the edge. "One last push! Use all your power!"

"UWOHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Rook, Epel, and Y/n gave everything they got, giving the push they need to defeat the Titan.

"GAH!!!!! YOU, YOU BASTARD!!!! JUPITER!!!!!" The Titan screams in agony as it was finally defeated.

"Haa, haa, haa.....!" They all breath heavily, exhaustion finally taking over their bodies as the spear collides with the ground with a clank.

"The battery of 'Thunderstorm Spear' is low. Remaining 10%. Please install it at the charging station."

"D-Did we finally get rid of it now....?" Y/n stutters out before falling on her knees.

"Haa~~~~~~~~~~...." The Pomefiores sighs as they collapse on the ground with the girl.

"I've already reached my limit... I didn't want to walk even one step...." Vil mutters out. (A/n: Me with stairs.)

"Even Vil-San will say things like that... But I'm also feeling tired too..." Epel mumbles out.

"Guys, hang in there a little more." Rook says, turning to the others. "According to the map, the hanger with the charging station for 'Thunderstorm Spear' is just around the corner." Rook slowly got up and turns to Vil. "Vil, can you stand up? Do you need my shoulder?"

"Hmph, I won't borrow the shoulder of an injured person." Vil huffs out as he got up on his own.

"We have to treat Rook-San's injury too. Let's hurry to the hanger." Epel says as he got up soon after. "Y/n-San, do you need help? I could lend you my shoulder."

"I'm fine. I've felt worse." Y/n says to Epel as she got up, with a little assistance from Owlbert. Picking up the spear off the ground, they all slowly walk over to the hanger. Upon entering the Hanger, they installed the Spear into the charging station.

"I didn't want to think that it's still alive after that one hit just now..." Vil mutters out. "We should charge the 'Thunderstorm Spear' just in case. But we don't have enough time to wait until it finishes charging. We will be leaving the room when the battery is half full."

"Ah, there's a set of first aid magic supplies! Rook-San, give me your hand." Epel yelps out.

"Thank you, Monsieur Crabapple. But you, Vil and Y/n-San are covered with scratches too." Rook says to Epel.

"Haa... My whole body is dusty, my clothes are worn our, and my hair is messy...." Vil sighs out as he sits in one of the chairs. "I want to get out of here as fast as possible and take a bath with my favorite bath soap. After that, I'll moisturize my skin with the skincare products you guys brought for me.... We were still having an ordinary life a few days ago, but it somehow feels like a dream now. Idia and Ortho.... Maybe they just wanted a normal life like us. Inviting friends to the house to play games together, or talking about futures together while looking at the stars.... That's the normal life they want."

"....." Rook and Epel stays quiet.

"A normal life..." Y/n mumbles out as a sigh escapes her lips.

"But reality is always harsh to us..... I'm going to crush their dreams for my own sake. They should do their best to destroy kur dreams too. At the back of your happy ending, there must be someone crying...." Vil mumbles out. "No matter who cries in the end, no hard feelings....." Vil slumps down on the chair and falls asleep.

"Vil-San... He fell asleep...." Epel mutters out.

"We had continuous battles until now, just let him rest for a while." Rook whispers to them. "Epel-Kun and Y/n-San too, you guys should take a rest. The Underworld... We are about to fight Idia-Kun and his brother. So you need to restore your energy and magic power even just for a little."

"Thank you." Y/n says with a smile.

"Yes..." Epel let's out a tired yawn before falling asleep himself.

"..... 'Normal', huh...." Rook mutters softly.

"Show me your arm." Y/n says to Rook as she sits beside him.

"Y/n-San? Shouldn't you be rest?" Rook says softly as Y/n starts to treat his arm.

"I'll rest as soon as I treat your arm." Y/n says to Rook. "... I wanted to say thank you for saving me... Again. I owe you a lot, Rook. So... Thank you."

"...!" Rook smiles softly at the girl as she finishes patching him up.

"There." Y/n hums softly.

"I should be the one thanking you, Mademoiselle." Rook says to Y/n. "You've already done so much for us. We should be thanking you."

"If I had to be honest, I wouldn't be here without everyone's help." Y/n chuckles softly.

"And if I had to be honest, I think I have fallen for you." Rook says to Y/n. Y/n looks at Rook with surprise. A blush was evident on her cheeks. "I'm not putting any pressure on you to answer me, I just wanted to let you know." Y/n takes a minute to take it all in before smiling softly at Rook.

"It'll pass."

As everyone was sound asleep in the Hanger, an explosion happens, making the hanger shake violently. This cause the Pomefiores and Y/n to wake up abruptly.

"What's that noise!?" Vil yelps out, jumping out of his seat.

"I don't know! Let's get out of here and check it." Rook says as everyone got off their seats.

"The battery of 'Thunderstorm Spear'...." Vil turns to the charging station.

"The battery is currently 30%."

"What should we do!? The battery is not even half full....!" Epel stutters out.

"We have no other choice. I don't feel reassured about this, but we have to take this with us." Vil says as he takes the Spear off the charging station. "Let's go!" Taking the Spear with them, they exit the hanger in a hurry to check what was the cause of the noise.

"Great Seven give us strength..." Y/n mumbles under her breath. "Ancestors, hear my prayers... And guide us to victory."
