Chapter 16: War in the mind.


Alto was conscious while he was chasing Obsidian. It was as if he had fallen out of reality and found himself in deep darkness. One side he saw what was going on outside. Then another figure appeared. Similarly a female demon, just like Vermeil, but her beauty did not hide her evil eyes and grotesquely satisfied grin.
"You're Odio, right?"
"Very clever Alto Goldfied... or should I call you Alpha – 17 – Omega. Although I know that you're considered a failure, I call you absolutely perfect as my new host. The old one is getting weak and while it takes time for my real form, I'll make sure to victory. I'm possessing your body!"
"I won't let that! I am fighting for peace!"
"Really? Then let me ask you something. In the spirit of peace, how many of my men have you and your friends killed? How many times did you feel hate, anger?"
Alto hesitated for only half a minute, but Odio did not wait for an answer.
"See. You're no different than me. It's okay. I don't judge you. For giving me your body, I will slaughter your friends and your love one by one!"
"I won't let that happen! If I have to, I will send you to hell with my bare hands!"
Odio laughed and released her enormous power! The inner fight has just begun between them.

No one wanted to believe his eyes. Vermeil laughed anxiously.
"Jokes on you, Alto dear."
"Well, the demons are so stupid? Alto is outside the house. I'm Odio!"
Then he set off for Rachel, but stopped by shackles. Dan was his perpetrator.
"I use heaven's lock on it, but I can't keep it up for long."
This makes the demon disappeared for half a minute.
"Guys! Run away! This thing is after you!" Alto shouted, but his voice soon changed back to Odio. "Oops, it slipped out. He's still fighting against me. But it won't last long."
From here on the goal was given. Expel Odio from Alto's body. But it is easier to say than to do. Neider had an idea.
"Odio means hate in Latin. That is, now try to awaken all the negative feeling that makes her stronger and take over his mind."
"We get this part, but how can we do this?" Rachel asked. She had no intention of fighting Alto, let alone killing him.
"We need to remind him of the happiest moments in his life. If he don't feel hatred, Odio will weaken. Then we can defeat it."
"We've got our help with this."
Rachel summoned a special blue stone into everyone's hands. Dan recognized it.
"Psychic-Strengthening Tiamats."
"That's right. If we touch this to Alto's forehead to revive his happiest memories about him, we will give him strength."
"That's all well and good, but I don't know him that well. However, I will try."
Dan touched the Tiamat at Alto's forehead after his statement.
"Do you remember how happy you were when you hit me at our last practice? It was then that you were truly happy, for you were one step closer to being the protector of Vermeil. I believe that the fight is hopeless for you now, but if you give up now, then we will die!"
It worked because Alto's gaze faded back. The Tiamat broke because it can only be used once. The shackles disappeared and Alto punch into the wall with a single punch.
"Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, by the time you cast him out of his body, you'll be dead!"
Then a dark aura gathered on his arms and legs.
"By the way, you won't use the same trick twice against me! So, DIE!"

Alto, took the punches in a row, which made him barely stand on his feet. Odio laughed with satisfaction.
"Was that all you had to offer? What a waste, I thought we were going to have fun."
She tried to hit him in the face with full force, but he took her hand and responded with a single kick, which was stronger than anything. Odio leaps back.
"I do not recommend that you underestimate it. There's a lot more to me than you think." Alto answered and try to counter attack, but Odio dodged.
"I get it now. You got the power from outside. But by the time you get the right strength for my expulsion, your friends will no longer live."

Odio attacked at a cruel pace. He continued to send the crystal pieces everywhere. Didn't joke with the killing because each shot wanted to hit a vital organ. Dan couldn't get off the ground. Odio laughed sadistically.
"There's the first dead body! Say goodbye to your life, flea bag!"
But then something lifted and paralyzed his body. Lilia listened to what was happening and jumped in. She use the Wind Prison magic. Without question, she snatched the Tiamat from Neider's hand and immediately pressed it to Alto's forehead.
"Remember when I was attacked by an army of swans when I was six? You protected me because you were always braver. Then you taught me an important lesson. The real brave man the one, who is not afraid of anything, but the one who overcomes his fears and draws strength from it!"
The Tiamat, like Dan version, broke out, but it was successful. Lilia, on the other hand, jumped back immediately. Odio didn't staystill in Alto's body and immediately broke out of prison. He defended his body with a headwind against further attacks.
"If your goal has been to piss me off, you're doing it right with these stupid moral tales. But, as usual, these are just empty stories!"
Odio then dealt a blow to Lilia, which Vermeil received by pushing the blocked Lilia away. The force of the blow could have killed a human, but even that hurt like hell, but she didn't care. She had to save Alto, whatever it takes.

Alto was in no better shape in his mind. As time progressed, it became more and more damaged. Odio did not lie that she wanted to make sure that this body. However, he didn't give up the fight. He successfully delivered another blow to Odio, who was also starting to run out of patience due to external events.
"You miscalculated a little, am I right?" he asked with a smile, even if it was faked.
"Pompous cripple. You're destroying your own destiny! As they try to give you strength more and more desperately, they are only driving the water to my mill."
"Or was it easier to break Oersted? I get it now. Then you cut your axe in a huge tree, Odio. I have definite goals and you don't belong between them."
Odio just laughed at this statement.
"Don't try to pretend that you are better than me."
"I'm not pretend. I know..."

Minutes passed, but Odio began to master the control of Alto's body. She kept shutting out opportunities for anyone to get close to her. Rachel, Neider, and Vermeil have tried to come up with something, but so far they have seen no results. Neider then quickly nodded to his girlfriend. She turned into a vampire without question and bitten Alto's neck. Something could have been inserted because it was paralyzed.
"What was that?" Vermeil asked, who can barely move.
"Paralyzing poison used by vampires when they want to suck blood from humans." Neider answered, then Rachel put the Tiamat to Alto's forehead.
"Do you remember our training and the end? There you showed you that you are the strongest person I have ever met." Rachel said with a smile.
"Yes. No wonder Vermeil chose you. You do your best to make him happy, because you are happy too. Remember this and show Odio that your body is yours only!"
That's when the Tiamat broke. They both jumped back. Alto's body was covered in thick Crystal armor. It was time to use the last Crystal. Odio was now completely pissed.
"FUCK YOU ALL! Why don't you realize that's not enough for me? Why are you fighting me? You're all fools! I will not let Vermeil clear his mind for good! If I have to, I'll tear off her limbs one by one!"

Odio had no mercy. She was really focused on Vermeil, who was trying to find an opportunity to reach Alto's consciousness. But this seems like an impossible task. Everyone tried to help, but all the spells bounced off the crystal. The only chance she saw was to injure herself. She doesn't have enough manna for her demon spells, the only paralyzing technique she knew has been used before. She waited for her opponent to stabbed with her hand and let her belly hurt where there were no vital organs. They all stared at him with their eyes and mouths wide open. Vermeil did not pick up the pain, but touched Tiamat to Alto's forehead.
"Honey. I will always love you. Do you remember how you got me out of the book and each and every one of my perversions brought me closer and closer? In a foolish way I thought you needed me, but I really needed to you." she whispered and cough up some blood, but she smiled unchanged. "You're the one who understands me, loves me, cares about me. Every time I see you happy, I'm happy too. I'll love you for the rest of my life."
That's when she kissed him. The Tiamat's broken. They can only rely on luck and Alto's strength.

In Alto's mind, Odio laughed.
"The first one is dead. You have no chance of getting your body back. I told you this would be the end. and now..."
Odio's body was covered in icy horror. She sensed that powerful forces were unleashing in Alto. A golden aura surrounded her body and his attitude changed. What previously could only be described as a mere fighting spirit was at once joy, fear and the ultimate grief. It was already too strong for her.
"You damn, disgusting, straight evil entity! You made the worst mistake with this! Because of you, my loved one is dying! Plus, the one I promised to protect! Are you saying I'm going to die? Then feel the might of my Golden Wind!"
Odio became completely angry and desperate. She hit her opponent in the face, but he didn't even feel it. But what he received back was more painful than any pain she had ever experienced. Alto punched her, wherever he can.
"MUDA MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA, WRYYYYYYYYYYY MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA, MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA,MUDA! MUDA!"
With the last blow, Odio's body was torn to pieces! Alto's body was now his own now.

He flew back into reality almost immediately. His hand was still in Vermeil's belly and felt kissing him. Immediately he handed her Manna and slowly pulled his hand. The wound healed quickly.
"I see that your body is really your own. You're preety good, dear."
At Vermeil's sentence, Alto broke crying out and completely stumbled upon her. But not for long because he fainted. Vermeil also collapsed. Rachel flew to Farma to get medical care them immediately. The fight was over, but with deep wounds.
