Chapter 74
The only thing that could be said was infinite darkness, but strangely he did not feel nervous or panic, in fact he felt comfortable in the middle of the darkness and that was strange.
Because when I was little I used to fear the dark.
And although he was already big and had learned to overcome that fear, being surrounded by infinite darkness on all sides was not pleasant at all.
Tyler couldn't explain his feelings, for some reason he felt that this was a safe place.
Suddenly and without even having time to react..... The darkness that surrounded him disappeared completely and was replaced by a particular scene.
It was a very small but cozy room. In that small room were a small bed in the corner, a window across the room, and a small nightstand with a television on top.
The s.p.a.ce was very small, but Tyler managed to see very clearly how a boy of around 7 years old was sitting in front of the television fully immersed in programming.
This greatly impacted Tyler. Not because he was suddenly somewhere else under too mysterious circ.u.mstances, but because Tyler knew this place and most of all... He knew the boy in bed.
It was him!!
More specifically it was the 7-year-old Tyler and this was the old house that he shared at the time with his parents.
On TV they aired cartoons that Tyler couldn't clearly recall, but he could see how some sort of villain faced off with a masked and caped hero.
As a completely predictable thing, the villain suffered a landslide defeat while the hero left with the girl.
Seeing all this.... As the hero was so dazzling and cool. The 7-year-old Tyler's eyes began to glow brightly, as if thousands of stars would find themselves hauntingly rolling inside his pupils.
His body trembled as he imagined himself to be one of those cool heroes. Just thinking about it, made Tyler's already dazzling eyes s.h.i.+ne with more intensity, full of unquestionable pa.s.sion and emotion and even more yearning and....... dreams!!
"How cool would it be if I could one day become a hero?!!" Tyler exclaimed unconsciously without realizing that his mother Sofia was behind him. looking at him sadly. his gaze seemed to mean a lot, but in the end he couldn't seem to find the strength to do it.
But upon hearing Tyler's seemingly harmless exclamation. Sofia overreacted, running quickly to Tyler and hugging him from behind.
"Don't be a hero!" Sofia shouted in a tearful, choked voice.
"You are the only thing I have left." Sofia's eyes were red, evidence of how much she had cried. "I need you alive."
"You make me be brave."
After saying everything, Sofia could not bear it and burst into tears. Although Tyler was still young, he was a very intelligent boy and was vaguely able to understand the meaning of those words.
You are the only thing I have left!!
He didn't say: you and your father.
His mother had been orphaned since his adolescence and thanks to that the only family he had was him and his father.
A very great sadness invaded, but since Tyler was always someone who did not easily speak or show his emotions, he simply stayed in his mother's arms and cried silently while his tears seemed to fall endlessly.
.........
Tyler stood there, paralyzed watching that scene.
He could remember very clearly that that..... was the day his dreams of being a hero were shattered.
But make no mistake, Tyler had never blamed his mother for that. All she did was show him the cruel reality before he found out for himself.
Tyler quickly focused all his attention on that scene. He had always remembered this conversation and kept it deep in his heart.
But what he continued from now strangely never remembered. But deep in his heart, Tyler knew that conversation was just as, if not more important than he had already heard.
He was always curious about what they had talked about that time, but he was embarra.s.sed to ask his mother about it, since it was related to very painful memories.
But no matter how much attention Tyler paid to the conversation, all he could see: it was the two of them having a conversation, but he couldn't hear absolutely anything they were saying.
At the end of the conversation the two stared at each other, smiled happily and hugged each other.
Something Tyler couldn't remember either.
................
Being immersed in confusion, Tyler did not realize that the entire scene around him constantly changed until he was again in that infinite darkness. but this time it was different, very different.
Tyler could clearly hear the sound of something crawling dryly across the floor.
"Another spectrum?" Tyler spoke while taking a battle stance, while his heart was beating fast.
I felt that the scene was very similar to that of the movie the hoop.
As if his biggest concerns were coming true, the sound grew closer and closer and before Tyler could react. He saw something crawling on the floor bathed in his own blood.
The person who was crawling on the ground did so only with his left arm, since the rest of his limbs were broken and strangely bent.
Contrary to what one might think, Tyler did not jump in fear or anything like that.
In fact the only thing on Tyler's face....... was fury!!
An almost irrepressible rage!!
The person who was on the ground in such conditions.... It was Richard!!!!!
"Sorry Tyler, I couldn't protect you. I'm so pathetic, so pathetic. No!! I am useless trash. I don't deserve to be alive." Richard spoke among his own sozollos.
"Sorry. I couldn't keep my promise." Richard said as his body was devoid of any sign of life.
Tyler's face became uncontrollably distorted as he roared with an ir that seemed to want to destroy everything around him.
Tyler's roar was so powerful that it filled the entire dark s.p.a.ce and made him tremble, to the point that he could no longer bear it and was destroyed as if it were a gla.s.s house.
Still Tyler's roar didn't stop even a little.
Tyler's eyes widened and the first thing that greeted him was the dirty floor he was on.
But he didn't care about anything, there would be his mouth and he gave a small roar that lifted him hard from the ground.
But that was nothing. Even after he was fully upright, Tyler didn't stop his roar.
In fact it was getting stronger and stronger.
Tyler raised his head and roared with all his might.
He wanted to vent all this will that he is feeling and that seemed to have no end.
The sound of Tyler's roar was very much like the roar of an ancient dragon, but this time he could feel the fiery go inside him.
The roar hit the ceiling of the small room where it stood with all its power.
Such was the power of its roar that there was no resistance from that ceiling. The entire roof was turned into the finest of powders, while the roar continued with all its power directed to the highest of the heavens.
As unbelievable as it sounds, their roar was so insanely powerful that even the clouds in the sky scattered as the roar got close enough.
Not only that. The sound of his roar could clearly be heard by everyone in Glory city, forcing most to cover their ears with terror.
Angela and the old woman, who were closest to Tyler, had the worst of luck. Even when they plugged their ears with the utmost of their strength, they couldn't stop their ears from starting to bleed.
After finis.h.i.+ng his roar and releasing a bit of his frustration, Tyler looked around and saw Angela and the badly injured old woman on the ground.
Although he felt guilty, I don't know why I care.
His gaze immediately went to the bodies of the men he had recently killed.
In a single blink of an eye, Tyler appeared next to them and with great decision bit their bodies and began busily absorbing their blood.
Tyler had not forgotten that by doing this, he could boost his healing factor. But he had never done it again, because it looked gross.
But this was not the time to think about any of it.
Richard was in danger and he might even be dead.
The very thought of thinking about it made Tyler's heart squeeze and he thought he was going to suffocate.
After absorbing as much blood as he could. Tyler tossed the men's stuffed bodies aside and ran with all his might, destroying everything in their path.
Be a wall. A car, a tree. Everything that stood in Tyler's way. Either it was destroyed or it was thrown into the air.
But nothing, absolutely nothing. He could slow Tyler's running speed down just a little.
Now that he had absorbed the blood of those men, Tyler now had half his full strength.
If something had happened to Richard....... He would make sure to destroy everything for miles around as a way of revenge.
