Chapter 54: Twin Brothers

"I'm sorry if you were too shocked by what I said earlier. Can we just talk about something else? I just want to be with you right now. It’s okay with me even as a friend. Just, please... I really can't stay away from you so don't ask me. I'm happy with this."

Gaunt's eyes widened with a kind of sadness and pain. It is very miserable. Because maybe it was alone and there was no sympathy from its sad experience? A frugal smile flashed across her lips. Gaunt needs a friend who sympathizes with his sad heart.

"All right, I'll join you as a friend and can we just forget what we talked about earlier?"

She saw the intense resistance on Gaunt's face but eventually...

"A-All right, let's just forget." its language is forced.

Extreme frustration was evident in his voice. They started walking towards an empty bench and they sat down almost at the same time.

"You know, I'm afraid to be happy now..." Gaunt began.

"Why?"

"Because there might suddenly be an end. All the happy moments of my life ended because my brother was able to betray me. I don't know what sin I did to him. I can't forgive him..."

Rusty's throat suddenly dried up. Gaunt is referring to Grimm.

"Why don't you ask him why he did that thing? Before you get angry with him, why don't you ask for his explanation? When you do that thing, your anger will be reduced and you will not be miserable by too much. I think all you need is an answer."

Gaunt's eyes widened and he clenched his right fist.

"Tsk! I never thought of that thing before because of the extreme pain I felt when I lost Kristine. It was as if I had died but I was still alive. You know the feeling that your heart is being torn apart little by little and crushed but you are still alive and will not die? You want to ask for help but you have no ally but yourself and you can do nothing but solo all the pain you feel until you are completely swallowed up by intense anger... And that anger, eases your feeling and strengthens your power. Above all, it numbs your whole being and heart. All pain disappears because you no longer feel anything..."

Rusty stared intently at Gaunt's face. She was a little nervous when she saw the intense anger on its face along with a frugal smile warning of danger.

"G-Gaunt..." she hesitated.

Gaunt was stunned and realized when he heard Rusty's voice. He looked at its face and he could see a mixture of fear and anxiety. He did not want it to go away from him but he could not restrain himself before.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it."

Rusty didn't say a word. Gaunt is trapped in the past and in rage and pain... It cannot escape.

"You are sad, because you did not have any sympathy. If only someone had sympathized with you during those times, you would not have been like that. I would have preferred to meet the Gaunt who loved Kristine Edenburg..."

Gaunt blinked and was stunned. He took a deep breath and wiped his face violently. That character of his has long since died. He is now the former Gaunt... The cruel and ruthless White Demon of Hell.

"Your request is vague, Rusty. That Gaunt has long since died. Kristine died with him that day... "

Meanwhile... Grimm was overwhelmed by his deep sleep. He was very tired from his training. But it 's okay because he gradually learned how to make ice creation and even make his own pentagrams for spells. He looked around. They are already in front of the church.

"W-Why?" he asked Clemen.

"Can you please pick up Rusty to town? She was just there in the park, my older brother said. You can accompany her home if you can. I still have a lot to do." the language is Clemen.

Grimm yawned loudly and stretched. Somehow he had regained his strength. He smiled sparingly. He will be with Rusty again.

"All right, I'll take care of it." he smiled in response.

He removed his seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Just a reminder, Grimm. Don't think any nonsense to Rusty. Remember, his father was an exorcist. Kuya Constantine is quiet and always calm, but do not dream of making him angry. You may not be able to cope when he uses power. That is deadly. That's the reason why he chose to just be a teacher within the Exorcist Guild and he also does not participate in tournaments because he does not want to kill." Clemen said meaningfully.

Amaze that Grimm looked at his teacher.

"Really? Why, what power does Sir Constantine have?" he asked curiously.

Clemen took a deep breath.

"When my older brother Constantine was in the fourteenth year, Satan tried to possessed his body. One of the strongest demons in hell almost succeeded in taking my Brother's body. He went crazy and many exorcists ended up in his hands. His whole body was engulfed in blue flames. The hottest fire of all. The possession lasted for three days but on the fourth day, Kuya was able to fight the spirit that enveloped his body. The whole council was also able to seal his body so that, that incident would not happen again. But a few percent of Satan's power, was left in my Brother's body and became his power. Because of that incident, he swore that he would never use demon fire... So don't make him angry, okay?"

Grimm swallowed at the thought. That's why Sir Constantine tried to stay calm all the time. It turns out that it has a strong inner power that it needs to control.

"I-I understand." he swallowed his tongue.

"All right, take Rusty to their house safely huh?"

"Yes."

He walked to the park where Rusty was supposed to be. He did not know why the weird priest was saying that to him. But thank you not... He became even more afraid of courting Rusty. He violently scratched his neck.

"Unusual!" he exclaimed.

When he wants to have a girlfriend... In a few moments he find what he is looking for. It turned around and sat on the bench. It has someone to talk to. He run to where it is and...

"Uy, Rusty..."

His eyes widened and he was stunned when he saw the man with her. Even the two were shocked at his arrival. Due to instinct, he was immediately pushed back in no time.

"K-Kuya Gaunt?!" Grimm's trembling language.

"Grimm!..." Gaunt said in shock.

Rusty was dumbfounded and stood up out of nowhere. She looked around and did not know what to do. Gaunt has recovered from the shock. He clenched his fists tightly and a frugal smile appeared on his lips.

"You will pay me!..."

He quickly punched Grimm but it immediately escaped. The cement he hit with his blow shattered. He would have started again when Rusty suddenly blocked in front of him. He stopped moving and looked sharply at his brother's face. His twin-brother who betrayed him... The reason why his beloved woman died.

"Stay away from there, Rusty!" he spoke emphatically.

"Stop it, Gaunt! Don't hurt Grimm. He's my friend and he's your brother, right?!" Rusty said.

Grimm looked confused as he look at Rusty. It looks like, she has known his brother for a long time but why didn't she mention that thing to him? He felt a great deal of resentment.

"Huh, brother?! I hope he thought of that thing before he betrayed me! He took everything from me! I will retaliate!" Gaunt's angry language.

A great guilt engulfed Grimm's whole being. This time, he will not be able to fight his older brother.

"I know you will not forgive me, Brother! But I want to explain, father gave me medicine so I spoke and I told him your secret... Sorry because I became weak."

Gaunt was slightly taken aback by what he heard. That bitter event in his life was revived in his whole being. He felt even more angry. Extremely angry.

"I can't forgive you! I hate you and Belphegor! I hate you both! And while I see you, I see him too!"

Gaunt jumped high and overtook the obstructing Rusty. People were already looking at them and everyone was scared when Gaunt suddenly put out fire on his right-fist. He punched Grimm hard but suddenly lost his fire and he saw Grimm's fist clenched in ice. Water dripped from Grimm's frozen fist. There was a mist.

"That's enough, Kuya! Retaliate against me as much as you want ... But don't touch Rusty because she has nothing to do with us!" Grimm said emphatically.

A foolish smile flashed on his older brother's lips.

"Why should I touch her? I have no intention of harming her so don't worry, you are the only one who will beat up!"

Gaunt unleashed a powerful kick and hit Grimm in the side as the young man rolled but immediately got up. His older brother Gaunt is stronger now.

"Huh, the updates that came to me are correct, you are not like before. This is good, because I would rather beat you! I will make sure you do not move your body when I bring you to father! "

Gaunt attacked again with a strong kick but Grimm dodged and retaliated with a powerful blow on Gaunt's back. It fell and slightly crushed the cement on which it fell. Despite everything it stood up immediately. Rusty bit her mouth and did not know what to do. The thing she was afraid of, had already happened. The two face each other.

Gaunt covered his whole body with fire. It circled it all around and quickly rushed to Grimm. Grimm prepared himself. He quickly made a thick, high wall made of ice. That solid. The surroundings shook because of Gaunt's attack and the barrier he made cracked. He thickened the wall he made. But his older brother did not give up. It intensified the fire it released throughout its body. Then he suddenly thought of making a prison.

Gaunt stopped the attack as he was trapped inside a large iceberg. It looks like a mirror. Because of the strange cold then, his fire was gradually weakening. He was slightly taken aback. His fire could not withstand Grimm's icy power. His fire was completely extinguished because only cold air surrounded him. He stopped acting and he remained in the middle. Grimm removed the thick wall he had made and approached the ice cage he had made. It looks like a crystal bowl. His Big Brother Gaunt stared at him sharply as he walked closer to it. He put his hands there and looked carefully at his brother. He slowly knelt down and humbly bowed.

"K-Kuya, sorry... Even myself, I have not been able to forgive that happened. I don't want you to lose everything. Brother Gaunt, restore your former self. Do not be like our father. You are different from him, you know that. "

Gaunt did not speak. He just took a deep breath and smoked it because of the cold temperature. Grimm made a decision. He slowly removed the cage he had made.

"Grimm, what are you doing?!" Rusty strongly objected.

She barely walked closer to Grimm but it signaled her to stop. She hesitated to obey.
