Chapter 7 The Contract

‘Are you willing to...’


Shiro could still hear the voice that was being said in his mind. But it seemed as if his ears had already stopped functioning due to which he couldn’t hear what the man was saying.


His throat was completely dry and his mind almost out.


His heart beat had sharply decreased and could stop anytime soon.


His nerves has stopped getting or sending signals so basically all of his body’s functions had been brought to halt or were about to halt in a minute.


‘Are you will to form a contract with me?’, the voice asked.


The voice was deep and was a bit scary. Shiro was surrounded by endless darkness so it didn’t matter to him.


All he wanted was to get revenge right now and nothing else. He just saw his parents being murdered right in front of him so he had no choice but to go beserk.


However since he was engulfed with fear, his anger had disappeared momentarily and thus he didn’t get any thoughts about revenge.


But when he was close to death, the sense of fear faded away and the anger resurfaced.


That was probably why even when he didn’t have any strength, he could clench his fist!


He was now asked to form a contract but he didn’t know what the contract was about. He evens didn’t know who was the one that was proposing the contract.


It could have been beneficial to him but making a decision with haste is not a wise choice but right now he didn’t have an option either.


He was dying slowly and steadily and with his death the revenge would also die and thus his parents and his own soul wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.


No matter what happened he wanted to get the so called revenge.


‘Yes... I want to form a contract...’, Shiro said in his mind.


His eyes had almost closed which were forcefully kept open for a while by him.


He knew that once he closed his eyes he wouldn’t be able to open them ever again and probably that was why he mustered the entire strength of his body to be awake and keep his eyes opened.


‘Good... then what are you waiting for... let’s make a bond with the soul...’, the voice said.


Shiro didn’t know what the so called bond was and that too using souls, so he just said yes in his mind.


‘Good... now you can sleep... let me take over you for a while...’, the voice said.


For some reason Shiro felt as if he could trust the voice and he ultimately closed his eyes.


He know comeeywku relaxed as the blood almost gushed out.


“Tsk, what a bummer...”, the man sighed with anger.


He was grabbing Shiro’s neck and now that he could feel his pulse disappear slowly; he understood that Shiro was close to death or was about to die.


He slowly lifted his hand and was about to swing and throw Shiro away when suddenly, his own hand was grabbed.


“Huh? What hap-?”


He could see that Shiro’s left arm was grabbing the man’s right arm in which he was holding Shiro’s neck.


“What the heck!?”


The man immediately used his left arm to get rid of Shiro’s left arm when all of a sudden, Shiro grabbed the man’s neck with his right hand.


‘Keuk!’


He was taken in by surprise.


“How can a boy...”


“Who is dying... have this amount of strength left?”, the man could think of nothing else as the strength with which Shiro was grabbing his neck was immense.


“Arghhhh!!!”


Suddenly the man was surrounded by purple aura. The same light started to radiate through out his hands and legs.


His strength increased all of a sudden and he successfully forced Shiro to remove his hands.


He then immediately flung Shiro with all of his strength.


‘BAM’


*cough*


Shiro was smashed to another wall due to which he coughed blood from his mouth again.


“What the fuck was that?”, the man who was quite tall and was hiding himself behind a cloak said this.


He could still see the hole that was created due to stabbing in Shiro’s stomach but it seemed like there was no more bleeding which was quite surpirsing.


“You... what are you!!!?”, the man asked.


“...”


Shiro didn’t reply and had his head lowered all the time.


“I’m asking you!!! What the fucking hell are you!?”, the man asked with a scream.


“...”


But there was no reply. No matter how loudly or whatever he asked, there was no response from Shiro.


“Don’t tell me your dear already...”, he said.


“...”


There was complete silence for a while.


The man thought that it would be best if it was comforted and thus walked towards him while saying, “I will just shred you into pieces and only after that will I be satisfied.”


He summoned his sword and was just two metres away from Shiro when suddenly Shiro started speaking.


“Shred me into pieces?”


The voice was deep and it felt somewhat abnoxious.


‘Huh? What’s this feeling...?’, the man’s instincts started to cry and were telling him to retreat or run away.


“You will shred me into pieces while standing on my domain?”


“Huh?”, the man didn’t understand what he meant.


He lowered his gazes and looked down a bit only to find himself standing on the pool of blood.


“This...”


His entire body started to shake because of fear and killing intent which was released all of a sudden from Shiro.


It was as if a pair of red fierce eyes were glaring at him. Basicalky he had the feeling of watching his own death!


“Who... Who are you?”, that was the only thing that was left for him to ask.


The man who would easily get angry since he had short temper and who was arrogant was now actually shivering and cowering in fear.


“Me...?”


“You want to know who I am!?”, the voice was too dominating and was exerting pressure with each and every word which the man could feel.


“...”, the man had no words to tell. He could feel his legs giving up anytime soon and was thinking of a way to escape.


“I am ...”


“Huh?”, the man’s eyes widened so much that it felt as if the eyes would pop out if the socket after hearing the very name from Shiro’s mouth.


“Wha-what did you say!!!!?”


“...”
