LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1208: Never Give Up
-----
"Hahahahaha! I won! At the end, this is my damn victory, you bastards!"
Agonitias laughed maliciously as he celebrated his victory, nothing but pieces of junk were left behind from Braveblitz, and Blake was nowhere to be seen, he assumed he was disintegrated with the explosion.
"Hahh… Hahaahh….!"
As he laughed, his entire body slowly began to cool down, having released that powerful beam of pure concentrated electromagnetic energy was tiring.
However, he slowly began to recover, his incredibly powerful and tough body possessed near endless stamina, allowing him to easily do this and more.
"A pity nothing was left for me to eat, but this victory alone, and what I learned from this is enough of a prize for me!"
As he gripped his fists tightly, glancing at the mothership, he smiled.
"I shall feast on the small fry which he worked so hard to protect…"
As he liked his dry lips, suddenly.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Several beams of many elements, such as fire, ice, darkness, and lightning reached him.
"Wha…?!"
Agonitias rapidly generated a huge bony shield by combining his arms, barely resisting the explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Elemental attacks?! Who are…? Hm?!"
His eyes widened, noticing several robots having appeared, each one with a peculiar appearance he had never seen before.
Ands somehow, their auras and powers reminded him of… Blake!
"Where… Where is Blake?!" screamed the red robot, Eleanora. "WHERE DID BRAVEBLITZ GO?!"
"They're… gone?" Hendrick looked around. "I can feel their presences anywhere!"
"No way…" Saphira muttered. "Y-You… What did you do to papa?!"
"Hmm?" Agonitias quickly discerned they were connected to Blake. "I was unable to eat him, he's done. Reduced to ashes. He was a good warrior, however. His techniques shall remain within my mind forever. He will live within my experiences as I endlessly evolve to become the strongest warrior of this universe! Rejoice, you're joining him."
FLASH!
He didn't even waste time, reaching Eleanora and kicking her, tearing apart half her mechanical body in the process.
CRAAASH!
"Uggh?!"
"Eleanora!"
Hendrick released his spiderwebs and a swarm of spiders made of energy, which Agonitias easily destroyed with a wave of his palms.
BOOOM!
The shockwave sent Eleanora and Hendrick flying away, with their mechanical bodies in shambles.
"GO!"
Saphira screamed amidst tears, sending thousands of ghosts against Agonitias, disturbing him lightly.
"W-What is this?! Ugh…! BEGONE!"
However, with a single clap of his hands, the ghosts disappeared instantly.
"No! My ghosties!"
As Saphira panicked, Agonitias rushed towards her, aiming to cleave her mechanical body apart with his claws!
However!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Three attacks reached him from behind, his left, and his right!
"Don't think we'll let you do that, bastard!"
"We'll avenge the damn brat!"
"I won't let you lay a finger on the girl!"
Fang, Woo, and Celestina attacked him all at once!
"Hahahah…" Agonitias laughed. "You'll make some fine dinner."
.
.
.
A miscalculation.
Something he couldn't predict.
A failed plan.
A strategy that couldn't work.
No matter how many reasons he tried to make over what happened.
Blake couldn't make excuses.
He wasn't dead, at the very least.
"We barely made it… Braveblitz."
"…"
Blake felt the silence strangely annoying.
A bit unfitting.
And perhaps awkward.
If not…
Sad.
Within the dark space inside of his Umbral Crimson, Braveblitz's head floated in midair.
In the very last moment, Braveblitz had pushed Blake into his head, and by detonating his Neutonium Core, he generated enough force to propel his head towards a nearby sphere of Umbral Crimson.
Barely managing to save Blake's life…
But at what cost?
"Hey, Braveblitz…"
"…"
"HEY!"
"…"
Blake, who was always so calm, who was always so composed, couldn't help but grit his teeth furiously because his robot companion didn't answer.
This same bitter feeling, the same horrendous feeling he felt when all his vampire family died…
And he couldn't do anything about it.
Again, this feeling, the lingering sorrow and frustrations of Asmodeus.
"Why are you not responding, you damn… piece of junk…"
Blake didn't want to, but his body acted on its own.
This damned body of his, so emotional.
After all these years, he had indeed grown too soft.
Tears fell from his eyes.
"Hey… Braveblitz…"
He grasped the metal in the head of the robot, which was actually empty.
There were barely any circuits in this area, as the head of a Machine Warrior as often times decorative, and also used as an emergency exit to escape the robot's destruction.
His Neutonium Core was destroyed…
"Don't mess with me… you damn… dammit!"
He had only known him for two damned days…
Yet right now, he was crying because…
Because he was dead?
"DAMMIT! FUCK!"
Blake screamed furiously, hitting the floor angrily, smashing the control panel in front of him, which no longer worked.
Memories of Braveblitz started surging through Blake's mind.
His words of bravery, his childish demeanor.
And his personality, both so damn cringe, and unique.
He was truly someone special, and he died…
"He died too damn soon…"
Umbral Crimson energies wrapped around Braveblitz's head, as it appeared floating in space, far away from Agonitias, who was laughing.
"This damn bastard… why did he had such a trump card, saving it until the damn bitter end? I should have expected this. I was too reckless, I wanted to end it too quickly. I should've observed more." Blake sighed. "Why was I trying to end it quickly? Was I… Was I trying to impress Braveblitz? Hah… I'm ridiculous."
Blake believed this damned trial had been messing with his head since the first day.
Isolated from his friends and family.
Thrown into a completely different world, a different scenario altogether.
Forced to socialize with so many different people.
To build everything from scratch.
So many new things happening, so many new allies.
And amidst all of that, someone incredible like Braveblitz was born.
"Hahh… Maybe I should just give up for now and redo it later, I need to…"
"Is this how you're going to do things, Blake?"
"Hm?!"
He heard a female voice within his mind.
The Neutonium Mother Core.
"What would he think about that?"
"You again… You couldn't do a single thing to save us, shut up."
"Answer my question."
"…"
"What would he think about what you just said? What would Braveblitz say?"
"…"
Blake clenched his fists tightly.
"He would say that's not very brave of me… or some stupid bullshit like that."
"Yeah, that's right."
"But he's dead now! What the fuck do you want me to do?! His core's destroyed!"
"But you're alive."
"Ah…"
"He sacrificed his core for you to remain alive, Braveblitz knew that you could win against Agonitias."
"…Yeah, he would… he would have thought that. But there was no farewell, nothing.:"
"It was too sudden, wasn't it?"
"…"
"Think about the bravery he held, his heart, and his powerful emotions."
"What does this have to do with anything?"
"They are still within you, right? No, he's still there, his heart."
"What kind of stupid thing are you saying now?"
"Neutonium Cores, us, are interlinked. We are all a big colony. When one shatters, it doesn't mean… they die, as long as there are others that remain alive, their hearts remain with us."
"…!"
Blake gasped, touching his chest, his Neutonium Core was slightly glowing brightly.
"Then this means…"
The images of Braveblitz, his emotions, his dream, his bravery.
It all converged within Blake's Neutonium Core, as it spread as a blue and red energy across Braveblitz' head.
"Let's fight for justice, Blake!"
"I believe we can do this together!"
"Together, as one!"
His words, it was as if he was still alive.
His memories…
He could hear them so clearly!
"BRAVEBLITZ!!!"
As he screamed his name, the technology within Braveblitz's head began to transform.
His skills activated one after another.
The rubble, parts of demonic sentinels within the pseudo-dimension of his Umbral Crimson Shadows gathered.
It couldn't quite create the same Braveblitz…
However!
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
His spirit lived on!
A blue and red flame surged, endlessly blazing through his eyes, as they opened.
Small arms and legs materialized, and his wounds were fully sealed.
The robot raised his little arms, as he suddenly generated two propulsors from its back, and flew towards Agonitias.
Braveblitz's flame of hope remained within Blake's heart.
And it blazed.
So…
So strongly!
"I won't forget you, my friend…!" he roared. "AGONITIAS, YOU BASTARD!"
With a loud scream that even the alien could hear, he twisted his head towards something.
"W-What is this?!"
Agonitias gasped, as he saw Blake's robots head rushing towards him.
It had become twice as big, and it gained arms and legs.
It looked stupidly hilarious.
Yet it held such a strong aura!
"We are the saviors of humanity!"
Blake kept roaring.
"We will bring hope to the hearts of people!"
He continued rushing towards Agonitias.
"No matter what you try…"
Suddenly, the tiny arm began growing larger, and larger, and larger…!
Eleanora, Hendrick, Saphira, Fang, Woo, and Celestina all glanced at the scene.
Their hearts filled with new hope as they learned Blake was not dead.
"YOU'LL NEVER OVERCOME THE BONDS OF OUR BURNING HEARTS!"
The titanic metallic fists slammed Agonitias face, shattering his skull mask apart and tearing apart half of it!
BAAAMMM!!!
