Chapter Text
It was dark, everything around him was just emptiness. Frankenstein blinked, had that darkness finally managed to consume him?
A soft laugh coming from the empty background shook him.
Do you think that if we had succeeded in taking your soul then you would have been so peaceful?
Frankenstein gritted his teeth, cool anger filling his thoughts. Where am I, then?
In a sort of "limbo". You see, we didn't expect you to wake up any time soon and consuming a soul as big as yours takes time. Don't worry though, there is no way you would escape from here now.
Frankenstein couldn't ignore the menace behind the words and instinctively shivered. He quickly understood how desperate his situation was, there was virtually no chance for him to get out of there alive. Unless…despicable as it was an idea popped into his mind. He mentally sighed at the thought of trying to make a pact with those bloodthirsty beings. Yet, it was his only hope.
I have a proposal. He started, knowing very well that it was unlikely that they were going to listen to what he had to say.
Amusing, let's hear what you have to say.
Surprised Frankenstein kept silent for a long minute.
Changed your mind?
No. I am aware you all want revenge, and I'm seeking revenge as well, for all the blood that innocent humans had to pay for the Noble's fault…
Careful, kid. Not everyone here is a human, you have nobles' souls as well.
I know. But the Nobles can keep coming at me and I will fight them back. Frankenstein grinned.
You are a very interesting human, to speak so recklessly in such a situation.
You have no idea how much more interesting I can get if I am let free to rampage around. That is why, I want to ask for your help. I need to accomplish my mission to save humanity and I need to look into the truth. If you help me with this, you will get all the blood you want from my fights, all the pain and misery you need to satisfy your needs.
You speak well, but you are weak.
Weak is rather an inappropriate adjective for someone who has resisted your force for so long, don't you think?
Frankenstein heard a low growl in reply before a sharp pain cut through his body. You are too insolent, why should we give you this opportuning and not just kill you here and now?
May I ask what do you plan to do once I am dead? You will be left without a container and it's not like you will be freed, at least you won't be able to escape hell.
As if we would want a container like you.
I thought we matched, after all we are both affected by an underlying madness, driven by our thirst for revenge.
You are right, kid. But this doesn't change the fact that you are weak and we are not compelled to agree with you. Yet, it might be funny to watch as you struggle to pursue your goals. Your actions might even help us quench our thirst.
I knew we would have come to an understanding.
One condition though, we will never stop trying to get your soul. If you were to succumb to our power before you accomplish your goals we will mercilessly devour you.
Fine. And after that Frankenstein felt part of his power returning to him, along with a new sensation. Soon he was thrown out into the real world. Blinking he looked around, the scenery had not changed much since he had lost consciousness. He stretched his back sighing, that strange sensation inside his head had not left him. It was as if a part of his soul was strongly embedded into that multitude of spirits. It's just to remind you that we are always here, in the back of your mind ready to seize the chance.
As if I wouldn't know. Frankenstein commented with a sad simile which turned into a smirk as he said, 'Now, shouldn't I find a proper name for my new weapon?'
When he didn't receive an answer he took it as a yes and added, 'I think I have found the right one, how about this…' He breathed in before shouting, 'Answer my call, Dark Spear'.
A loud roar was heard into the land as dark power filled the air, with a thunder a black shape cut through the sky to fall into Frankenstein tensed hand. A devil's grin appeared on his face as he took possess of the Spear, waves of power flowing through him. At the same time screams filled his ears and others' souls tried to eat his own before he shut them down with his renewed mind force. 'It seems as if you were serious about going all out on me from now on.'
We will always come for you when you least expect it, watch out for it Frankenstein.
I'll make sure to be ready to properly welcome you.
