The Mob Character Shouldn't Have A Yandere Harem?!

120 - The Aegis And Tsuki Trials

"You did it!" He grinned.

Baki dusted himself off, standing up and walking towards the others with a slight limp.

"We'll go prepare it." Akashi stated, looking towards the others. A small smile appeared in his face. "It's been fun."

"Agreed." Isamu chuckled. "Come on. It's to end everything."

Three of them exited, leaving Grandpa with me. He walked over to me, setting his hand onto my shoulder.

"Hey. I want you to win." He stated. "I want you to live through this. I know we put a lot on your shoulders, but I want you to know that."

"It's fine." I smiled. "I have a bone to pick with him anyways. So, what's this ritual?"

"We'll explain." Grandpa stated. "But there's one more thing...no matter what, don't hate yourself."

"What?" I asked, looking at him weird.

"You have great power." He changed the topic, poking my chest with his hand. "Your lightning...my wife had it. I don't know too much, but it's fueled on emotions. It would always go crazy and uncontrollable when she was angry."

"I'm sorry I can't help with that." He lightly smiled. "You'll just have to try yourself. Wait here for a moment."

He walked into the room with the others, preparing this ritual. Seriously, are they going to sacrifice me or something? They're being awfully secretive.

After a minute of waiting I finally heard Grandpa call for me. Walking into the room, a single magical circle was drawn onto the ground as the four stood around it.

Yeah, I know they aren't going to sacrifice me to some demon god or something but I still can't help but get that feeling.

"Stand here." Grandpa gestured to the circle.

I stood in the circle, waiting for the next instruction.

"Now take off your shirt." He stated.

"What?" I asked. Did I hear him right?

"Take off your shirt." He restated.

I sighed, taking it off and throwing it into the floor. Please don't suddenly stab me for my blood...

"We're going to each our power into you. It will stay dormant until you use it, and you only can for a couple of minutes." He explained. "This will give you the necessary power to stop the Demon King."

"Wait, why are we doing this?" I questioned.

"Individually, we aren't strong enough. And even with power in numbers, once he takes one of us down then it'll just go downhill from there." Akashi explained.

"So if we put our powers into one person, it will give them enough power to hopefully match up to the Demon King. So you'll have the power of all of us to fight." He continued.

"That...actually makes sense." I replied.

Grandpa nodded. "So just stand there. We'll seal our power into you. And then it's you against him."

"Okay." I nodded.

The Four Great Sages walked behind me as I stood there. Grandpa walked up, lightly touching my back. "Good luck." He whispered to me.

He then murmured something under his breath as the circle started to glow. Once he finished, a surge of power entered my body before it disappeared, being sealed.

Grandpa's touch receded. One by one the next three came up, giving me their well-wishes before sealing their power into me.

It was almost as if they were saying goodbye.

As Baki finished with his, his hand left my back. I turned around to thank them, but I didn't see them. They had disappeared.

"Wait...where...where are they..." I asked, looking around.

"...Remember how Merlin gave you a piece of her power?" Loki quietly asked.

Yeah, she gave me a piece of her soul.

"And do you remember what she said when you give away all of your soul?" Loki continued.

Yeah, she said that you would become an empty husk. Like how Goku and Brandon were. But what does that have to...

Oh...

No. You're kidding me. They didn't.

"They did." Loki somberly confirmed.

That's why it was their plan two. That's why they didn't want to do it. Because they were completely sealing their souls. They sacrificed themselves.

They sacrificed themselves so I would have the power to take out the Demon King. But why? Having more Arcanas will rip my soul apart, won't it?

"Not in their dormant state." Loki reminded me. "However, once you open up those seals, you only have a short time until your soul would be ripped in half from the pressure."

"Releasing all four seals would give you about two minutes. Human souls just aren't meant to wield this much power. However, since I'm here I'll be able to keep your soul together until then." Loki continued.

"But anything after two minutes would destroy your soul. And you'll have to release the seals one at a time to not overload yourself with power and rip your soul in half." Loki explained.

My fists tightened as tears gathered into my eyes. Lupercio.

He took everything from me.

Separated me from the ones I love.

Tortured and killedme.

Is planning to kill the ones I love once he returns to Earth.

And made Grandpa and the others sacrifice themselves so I could even have a chance of taking him down.

Lupercio. You. Are. Dead.
