Chapter 47 - Fear

As Eldrin was flying in the sky at high speeds, he telepathically spoke.

"Sebastian, give Erskine the locations of Dottores clones, tell him to send the Astartes if he must, I will handle the original."

"Of course, my liege."

Eldrin then looked towards the ground, glancing at seemingly nothing,however that is far from the truth.

Warning: If or when Eldrin comes across people like Dottore, it becomes personal, to the point that he may resort to psychological torture, though not physical.

In an underground facility, there was a man, he had long light blue hair his face was covered by a mask, leaving only his mouth visible, he seemed to be too busy holding a vial and inspecting it that he did not see or sense a tall figure with black wings standing right behind him, wielding a scythe,and to be fair, Eldrin is the perfect assassin, no heartbeat, no breathing, no odor of any kind, he was completely silent, he could be standing right behind and you wouldn't even notice,until it was too late.

Suddenly, Dottore seemed to see something in the vial's reflection standing right behind him, Dottore froze; he did not dare to look behind at that horrifying thing standing right behind him,if he could describe its appearance with one word, then it would be death.

Dottore did not even breath, he just stood there frozen for minutes hoping that it would get bored and go away,after on more minute, he looked at the reflection of the vial and what he saw made him shiver in fear, that thing was looking directly at the vial, giving him the illusion that it was staring right at his eyes, and it was, through the reflection of the vial.

Its eyes were blood red, its face was that of skeleton, its body was covered with a black robe along with a black hood that left only its skeletal face visible,not only that but its scythe was bloody.

One hour has passed since the thing appeared, dottores plan was simple, as long as he does not move that thing won't attack him, maybe it will get bored and eventually leave.

Dottore glanced at the reflection of the vial and to his absolute despair it was still there, now giving him a smile so creepy that he almost shit himself,and how the fuck could a skeleton even smile!.

Dottore consoled himself that it would be alright, he could outlast it, he just needed to not move for a couple more hours,he was confident that it would leave him alone by then.

3 hours later, Dottore couldn't bear it any longer, he was tired and gave a glance at the vial's reflection only to see the thing holding a clock with its spare skeletal hand and pointing at it with the tip of its scythe.

Dottore finally understood, that thing would not leave him alone,no matter how much time passes, it will stand there unmoving until he makes a move,just as Dottore was about to collapse in despair that thing disappeared,Dottore hastily looked back and to his relief the thing had disappeared, he then turned to look in front of him only to freeze.

That thing was right in front of him, its skeletal face mere inches from his face, staring at him dead in the eyes as if it could see his soul,and it could.

Dottore did not even blink; he knew that if he did, he was dead,his body was shaking from fear, behind that mask, Dottore could not help but shed a few tears, he could not keep his eyes open for long, he had to blink.

As the minutes passed dottores eyes started to hurt,and by mere accident, he blinked,that would his biggest and last mistake.

Thud!

His body collapsed to the ground, there was no wound, no blood, no nothing, he just died, as if his very soul was sucked out of his body.

And it was.

In Eldrin's now human hand was a soul,dottores soul.

" Apologies, Mr Dottore, Curiosity caused me to see your memories, and I blacked out for a while"said Eldrin in his usual polite demeanor, though if one looked carefully enough they would see that Eldrin was unsettled,it was as if he saw horrifying experiments done to people and children.

And he did.

In multiple places in Teyvat, 3-meter-tall Armored figures could be seen silently taking out figures with long, light blue hair,they were the clones of Dottere.

BAAAM!

The door was kicked open and those 3-meter-tall figures rushed in, taking out the dottores clone by shooting him with a tesseract-powered rifle in the head, causing his body to disintegrate.

All over Teyvat, those clones were taking out in a similar way until there was none of them left.

In the dark sky, a figure with black wings could be seen flying at high speeds towards Monstadt.

Somewhere in Monstadt.

A young, elegant woman could be seen sitting in a chair drinking tea, appearing thoughtful and troubled.

"Why did her majesty suddenly disband us? It makes no sense" though Lasignora confused and concerned.

"She would not abandon her mission out of nowhere for no reason."thought La Signora.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice broke the silence.

: You're quite the complicated one, consumed by grief and rage, from the world that has wronged you many times before, transforming you into this" said Eldrin as he turned to look at her with what seemed to be pain.

That is because he looked at her heart, and it's no exaggeration to say that it was about to be fully consumed by evil,he was born with a kind of sense that allowed him to roughly determine if something or someone is fully consumed by evil or not,but after gaining black magic, he could see the heart and soul more accurately.

For example, his own heart is perfectly balanced, half light, half darkness; he himself was not pure-hearted, he couldn't be with what he had to do to fulfil his purpose; a true protector can never remain pure-hearted; there are only a few exceptions to this rule, and he was not one of them.
