【Beginning】
Covered in blood, Mufasa stepped into the shrine of Seth.
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Mufasa, what’re you doing here?
Mufasa did not answer, and just swaggered upright towards Seth, with a creepy smile.
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Mufasa, I am asking you!
Mufasa swung his fist wildly at Seth, while Seth blocked his attack with a barrier driven by fierce glance. The friction between his fist and the barrier resulted in a strong turbulence which shook the whole shrine.
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Mufasa! Are you deranged?
Yet Mufasa ignored Seth, with his fist aiming at Seth again. But as a deity associated with wars, how would he be hurt by merely a mortal warrior? The beast was still separated from the God by that invisible barrier.
Seth observed Mufasa continuously hitting at the barrier with his fists, wondering what had happened to him. Just when he was hesitated, Mufasa gave a furious roar and stroke on the barrier. A crack appeared on it at once.
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Is it... frenzy factor?
Seth knew that Mufasa before him had been corrupted by the frenzy factor, same as the tribal chiefs of the previous generations. He removed the barrier and let Mufasa attack.
【End】
Seth had never thought that frenzied Mufasa was that tough to defeat. Just as Mufasa dashed forward again, Seth raised his scepter high and subdued Mufasa with a fiery red magic circle. Mufasa grunted in pain. At that moment, Shu, Ra and Tefnut returned to the shrine.
- Tefnut the Decent God of Drizzles: Seth, what’re you... Is something wrong with him?
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Frenzy factor!
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: So that’s the reason!
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: What?
- Shu the Dragon of Tempest: The whole tribe was devastated as if it was under a massacre. We went out for this.
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: Why do they have to suffer so horribly?
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: What should we do with him?
- Tefnut the Decent God of Drizzles: Let’s seal him up...
- Shu the Dragon of Tempest: I agree.
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: Um.
Then they heard a moan in a faint, weak tone.
- Tribal Chief Mufasa: Kill me... please...
Mufasa was begging in anguish, with his face covered in tears. It was so miserable that one could not bear watching.
- Tribal Chief Mufasa: Kill me... I’ve done... something... unforgivable...
- Tribal Chief Mufasa: Please will you...
Mufasa kept repeating the same words. Seeing this, Tefnut and Ra shed their tears as well.
- Tefnut the Decent God of Drizzles: Shu, please ask Osiris to come here.
- Tefnut the Decent God of Drizzles: Son, you’ll be alright soon...
Tefnut patted Mufasa’s head gently with her claw which was even bigger than him, then he fell unconscious. No sooner had Shu sent the message to Osiris by wind then Osiris arrived at the shrine.
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: Osiris, please take the soul of this child away...
- Immortal Judge of Afterlife Osiris: My friend, this little lion has not yet come to the end of his life.
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: But he’ll only suffer if he lives on, my friend.
- Immortal Judge of Afterlife Osiris: Everyone has his own fate. But I can keep his soul for you...
- Immortal Judge of Afterlife Osiris: until he wants to come back, or when he reaches the end of days.
- Ra the Righteous God of Sun: Thank you, Osiris!
Osiris then extracted the soul from Mufasa, put it into a small cage and left. Ra and Tefnut returned to the inner chamber of the shrine, preparing to preserve the body of Mufasa. There were only the two brothers left in the main chamber.
- Shu the Dragon of Tempest: Are you injured?
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: I’m not weak like you! But it’s not easy as well to deal with that frenzied kid.
- Shu the Dragon of Tempest: After all, the frenzy factor is created from the Ancestral Elements.
- Shu the Dragon of Tempest: I just never thought that Mufasa could finally revive from his frenzy...
- Just Deity of Warfare Seth: Maybe Osiris was right. This kid has not yet reached the end of his life.
After that, Seth went back to the inner chamber too. In a far distance inside the small cage of Osiris, a soul was sparkling with a feeble light of sorrow...
