The supreme sovereign system

"Ah…ah…ah…" Alfonso coughed blood while he kneeled on the ground.

"How… many hours… has it been…" Said Cerberus while he was catching his breath on the ground.

"I am too tired~" Said Drakini while taking out the last red smoked on her.

"Drakini… you have a lot of questions… to answer" Said Alfonso.

"Y-Y-Yes sir!" Said Drakini with panic.

"However… we must first… go to that door" Said Alfonso while looking at the countdown above the door.

0

That\'s right, over the past hours, Alfonso and company had been killing mouths like there was no tomorrow.

"Wait…a minute… I can\'t walk… right now…" Said Cerberus.

"Hufff…." Alfonso took a deep breath and sat on the ground.

Drakini walked towards Alfonso and grabbed Alfonso\'s hand.

"S-S-Sir, might I?" Said Drakini.

"What is it?" Said Alfonso.

Drakini closed her eyes and a green aura began to spread from Drakini\'s arm towards Alfonso\'s arm.

In a few seconds, the wounds on Alfonso began to disappear!

"Is this… time power?" Asked Alfonso.

"Mmm!"

"W-W-When I was in Chrono\'s territory, I could perceive the other\'s concepts of time, although they were too shallow, I-I-I could grasp the concept of backward-forward!" Said Drakini.

"Backward-Forward?" Asked Alfonso.

"I-I-I seem to have an affinity with that concept, s-s-sir" Said Drakini.

"But about my other powers? How were you able to use my abilities?" Said Alfonso.

"…" Drakini blushed and scratched her head.

"W-W-W-ell…"

"Drakini"

Embarrassed, Drakini hide behind Cerberus.

"I-I-I might have absorbed a tiny… a very, I-I-I can\'t emphasize enough how tiny was it… of your… soul power…" Said Drakini in a low voice.

"Ah! You have been leaching Alfonso! I knew it, you are bad! You are just a parasite!" Said Cerberus.

"I-I-I am not! S-S-Sir, I-I-I was only taking a tiny bit because I wanted to be useful to you!" Said Drakini.

"Drakini, come here" Said Alfonso.

Drakini doubted for some seconds, but she walked with her face down towards Alfonso.

"Drakini, I have very low time soul power, I don\'t mind that you want some, but, you have to tell me about it first, you can\'t take what isn\'t yours without permission, you understand?" Said Alfonso.

"I-I-I understand, s-s-sir, I am very sorry" Said Drakini with some tears in her eyes.

Alfonso\'s smiled.

He put his hand on her head and said.

"Thanks a lot, for protecting us" Said Alfonso.

"S-S-SIR!"

Drakini hugged Alfonso.

"Ugh! Not so hard" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

"If you two are finished, let\'s get going" Said Cerberus while grabbing Alfonso\'s arm.

The trio walked towards the door.

Suddenly, the gas from Drakini\'s body began to surge and went towards the door.

"Ah! That\'s mine!" Shouted Drakini while trying to suck the gas once more.

"Ahh!" Drakini looked helplessly how the gas escaped from her body and went to the door.

"What is that gas Drakini?" Asked Alfonso.

"I-I-I don\'t know; however, it has a trace of power of time!" Said Drakini.

"Power of time!?"

"Y-Y-Yes, it has a trace of the concept of backward and forwards, s-s-sir couldn\'t detect it because you have no affinity with the concept yet" Said Drakini.

"Does it have to do with the artifact of time in hell? But that isn\'t possible, the pendulum is in the third circle, not here…" Though Alfonso.

*Clank*

With a metallic sound, the door opened and darkness welcomed them once more. Alfonso and company went through the door and, after they pass the door, it suddenly disappeared leaving them alone in the darkness.

"I can\'t see anything, stay close" Said Alfonso.

In a second, a brilliant light glommed.

"Ah!" Alfonso closed his eyes for the sudden brilliance.

"Welcome, dear guess, to the endless hotel"

Alfonso slowly opened his eyes and saw a butler outfit in front of him.

The man was handsome, he had fair pale skin and red eyes.

"I am sorry for our pets, they can be a little mischievous, I hope that our dear guests won\'t take offence" Said the butler.

"You call those mouths pets?" Said Alfonso with anger.

"Indeed, they were brought here by our master" Said the butler with a smile.

"Who is your master?" Asked Alfonso.

"The manager of the hotel, you will meet him very soon" Said the butler.

"What do you mean?" Asked Alfonso.

"My master will hold a party in a couple of days, it just happens that all the guesses are invited" Said the butler.

"What if we don\'t want to attend?" Asked Alfonso.

"I am afraid that is not an option you can make" Said the butler.

Alfonso looked at the smile of the butler for some seconds.

"We are too tired to fight… and something tells me that we might not defeat him…" Though Alfonso.

"We will stay for the party" Said finally Alfonso.

"Excellent! My dear guess, I knew that you were smart, I guarantee you that you will not regret your decision" Said the butler with a candid smile.

He took out something from his pocket and show it to Alfonso.

It was a key that market the room \'10\'.

"Please follow me, I will show your room" Said the butler.

Like this, Alfonso and company followed the butler to their room.

.........................................................................................

After the butler left Alfonso and company in their room, he took out a clock from his pocket.

"1"

"2"

"3"

Counted the butler.

"5, its time" Murmured the butler.

Black smoke appeared under his shoes and in a second covered his whole body, this lasted for a couple of seconds before, abruptly, the smoke disappeared and the butler as well.

The butler reappeared in a dark room.

He kneeled in from of a man.

"Master" Said the butler.

"Just as I finish my meal, on time like always" Said a deep voice.

"It\'s my job" Said the butler.

"What is it?"

"Master, I think that the one asked by the supreme one has come" Said the butler.

"Ho? How can you be so sure?"

"I felt a trace of the red gas on the young girl accompany him" Said the butler.

"HAHA, good, very good"

A pair of black wings extended and blood-colored eyes shinned in the darkness.

"Shall I inform the supreme one?" Asked the butler.

"Not yet" Said the man.

"This is a perfect chance for me" Said the man.

"?" The butler was confused.

"That guy promised to give me the second circle if I cough that little fellow" Said the man.

"It seems that he is the key of that red gas" He added.

"That red gas is incredible, it can empower our soul energy just by consuming a bit of it… however, we always felt a rejection of it" Said the man.

"That is why that guy wants him… but…" The man smiled.

"If my master gets a hold of that man" Said the butler.

"I will have all that power for myself!" Said the man.

His aura skyrocket and a red aura envelop him.

"It\'s time to show those old fellows that their time is over" Said the man with a malicious smile.
