Chapter 129: We Are Here For You...

-----

[Guardian Shield: Level 1/10]

Any damage that would inflict death to the user is spread evenly across all subjects that are considered allies around the user.

Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.

Frank glanced at another of Kamei\'s Skills one that she seems to have acquired through the Titles of Zenith of Charity and Humility.

At least, this one was something that could help Kamei a bit, which made Frank very happy.

If for some strange mishap, Kamei were to take a deadly wound, the damage would be spread around her allies instead of herself, the more allies she has around, the less would be the damage they took.

This could virtually make Kamei immortal.

However, Frank knew that things were not as good as they seemed.

Especially if the wound were to be fatal, such as her head being sliced, or her heart being destroyed, amongst many things.

It simply spread the damage that an attack that would be deadly would inflict, but it did not mean that the Skill would simply make her unbeatable as long as there was someone to take the hit.

Now that she was something like a game-like character, the concept of HP existed, and Kamei\'s HP could go down even if she did not take any fatal wound, this is where this Skill would take place, supposedly.

Frank considered that he should not take it easy and let Kamei do as she pleased around a place infested by monsters simply because of this Skill.

After Frank explained what Dungeons were and also gave a brief introduction and explanation to the world he and Kamei were in, Kamei finally stopped processing things and sighing in exhaustion.

"Nii-san, this is a lot to take, you know?" she asked, almost as if pouting.

"I know…" said Frank with an apologetic smile.

"To think that you can travel through worlds and stuff… Well, I guess this is how you saved us from that… man," said Kamei.

Frank had also taken the opportunity to explain things regarding Hades, and why was he an Undead now, and how now that he had no heart, was unable to go back to being alive, as not having a heart would most likely kill him.

Although his Gift of Life Skill was a good healing Skill, it was not capable of regenerating limbs or organs out of nowhere, and no matter how much Frank tried, his heart did not grow back through the Gift of Death either.

As it was stated earlier by Hades, Frank had unknowingly cursed himself the moment he destroyed his own heart while being an Undead Progenitor, leaving him \'heartless\' for the time being.

Although there were some ideas about what he could do about it, they were still rather far away from his current goals, which were all about explaining Kamei everything, then explaining everything to Gwendolyn and everyone else in that house, and then introducing Kamei…

"So she is Master\'s little sister? How adorable… Does it mean that she is like my young lady then~?" asked Orb with enthusiasm.

"W-Well… I wouldn\'t really like it if you called me like that, Orb-chan…" said Kamei with a gentle tone, she thought of herself as nothing really special, and didn\'t want to be called like \'young lady\' by Orb.

"O-Oh, is that so? Then Kamei-chan is fine?" asked Orb.

"Yes, that\'s fine… I am very happy to have made a new friend so fast, thanks for explaining things out with nii-sama, Orb-chan," said Kamei.

"A-Ah! You do not have to be thankful, my young lady- I mean Kamei-chan! It was just my duty," said Orb.

"I\'m glad that you two are getting to know each other well…" said Frank.

Frank was happy that his sister was getting some time to finally relax… Although her stomach suddenly began to roar fiercely.

"A-Ah…" said Kamei, blushing over the embarrassment.

"I have a few things saved from Earth within my Inventory… Here," said Frank, taking out a cold green tea bottle and a pack of chicken sandwiches, alongside an apple and a small chocolate bar.

"Ah! Thanks, nii-sama!" said Kamei, beginning to dig in the sandwiches as she drank the cold and refreshing green tea, in a few minutes, everything was gone as she had finished drinking the whole bottle as well.

"Phew… I feel way better now…" sighed Kamei, rubbing her belly with satisfaction.

"Now… Kamei. I want to tell you something…" said Frank.

"Yes…?" asked Kamei.

"Well… Our parents might be dead, but you already know about my abilities, about the strange magic I possess thanks to Hades… When I went unconscious, Hades took over my body and fought against Wasp however he could, managing to save the souls of our parents, which were still wandering around our house…" said Frank.

"T-That\'s means…!" muttered Kamei, as the light came back to her eyes once more.

"Yes, it might mean that we could have a chance to bring them back with us… Although, I currently do not know another way than to make them some kind of Undead… which… I don\'t really want to do," said Frank.

"Hm, me neither… it wouldn\'t feel right…" said Kamei.

"For now, I kind of want to feed their souls with a bit of Mana, so they can sustain themselves, why don\'t you come with me, they\'re in a certain area inside of our Souls," said Frank.

"A-Alright!" said Kamei, she grasped her brother\'s arms as both of them submerged within Frank\'s shadows.

Flash!

Suddenly, they appeared in a certain enclosed area.

Within the complete darkness, two souls wandered around, they seemed… in pain.

Their appearances were deformed as if the wounds they took physically were transferred to their ethereal bodies.

When people die while experiencing enormous traumas, their souls would be often deformed, showing the wounds that had traumatized them the most within their ethereal appearances, even if their souls were not physical and would not be able to be damaged in such ways.

Frank and Kamei\'s mother, Amelia, had gone through a traumatic experience at the time of her death, her soul appearance was similar to her corpse, showing a large and long wound in her stomach, going all the way up to her neck, where her head was barely managing to stay over the neck.

And Frank\'s stepfather and Kamei\'s father, Okita, was in a similar state if not even worst, as parts of his appearance seemed to be melting constantly, this was due to his horrifying death by Wasp\'s corrosive poison. He also held several stabbing wounds all across his body, showing gaping holes flooding with oozy poison-like phantasmal substance.

Both of them seemed to be ignoring Frank and Kamei as if they were inside of their own world of suffering.

"Aaahhh! AAAAHH! It hurts! It hurts! My stomach… AAAAAAHH!!!"

"Gaaahhh…! GGaakakkkhhh…! Guuuggeehhh…! Oooogghhhh…!"

Frank and Kamei\'s eyes seemed paralyzed, as the traumas once more were brought into their minds.

The memories of the odor of blood, of the strange feeling, of the repulsive smell of flesh… of the horrifying and disfigured corpses…

"Mom…? Daddy?" asked Kamei, slowly walking towards the souls.

The souls kept shrieking in agony, trembling in constant pain, their minds seemed long broken.

"Mommy! Da… daddy!" cried Kamei, as tears began to flow from her eyes, she kneeled, asking them to hear her, to glance at her… but they seemed immersed into an endless nightmare, incapable of waking up.

Frank\'s chest began to ache, right where his heart should be, this aching pain made him fall to the ground, as wrath started to slowly encroach his mind.

"Don\'t you want revenge?"

"Why don\'t we go back and kill that bastard?"

"Sounds nice, right?"

"As long as you have me, you\'re invincible!"

"No… I am not invincible with you… You only want to eat my soul…! Unngh… Aggh…!"

Frank began to shriek, as his breathing became heavy.

Kamei noticed Frank\'s cries amongst her parents and quickly ran back to her brother.

"N-Nii-sama!" she cried, hugging him.

"A-Ah…!" muttered Frank, as wrath felt a strange sensation coming from Kamei, covering, and encompassing Frank.

"Tch…"

Wrath suddenly disappeared once more from Frank\'s mind, as Frank was brought back to reality by Kamei\'s warmth.

"Nii-sama… We will… get through this together! We will… find a way! If there is magic… if there are all these fantastical things… If all of this is truly real… then… we might one day… No! We will one day find a way!" said Kamei, her eyes shining brightly, blazing with conviction.

"Kamei… I… You\'re right…" said Frank, standing up.

"Let me approach them… I am fine now," said Frank.

"…Alright," said Kamei.

Frank walked near his parent\'s souls, as he began to conjure Gift of Life into their souls, slowly feeding them with Death Attribute Mana, making their souls slightly stronger…

As the seconds went by, the souls slowly began to calm down, stopping to shriek…

"Huh?" asked Kamei in surprise.

Frank smiled slightly, as he closed his eyes, infusing power into his passive skill, Death Charm.

"I have been able to do this… I remember doing it with the souls that made up Nezhit. They were at first insane, but slowly became more serene and relaxed…" said Frank, infusing more mana into the souls and then finally stopping, as the souls of his mother and stepfather stopped hovering around.

"Aahhh… It hurts… it hurts… Where… where am I?" wondered Amelia\'s soul.

"Gaaahhh… Oooh… Aaah… Frank… Frank…" muttered Okita\'s soul.

"Kamei, come with me," said Frank, as Kamei nodded silently and walked near Frank.

Both siblings stood, glancing at their parents.

Their parents flew gently around them, as their pale phantasmal bodies and their lifeless eyes seemed to gain a small spark of light.

They noticed their faces, and their expressions, as Frank and Kamei\'s eyes seemed to resist the tears.

"Kamei…? Frank?" wondered Amelia, she seemed to be slowly coming back.

"Aaahh… Kamei… Frank…" muttered Okita.

"Yes, we are here for you," said Frank.
