Levi stared horror struck at the horrific sight before him, Elijah's glassy, lifeless eyes stared at him from the floor.

The King started chuckling, "So, how did you like my gift?", the pitch of his laughter started increasing, Levi felt like his world had been ripped apart, he felt like his emotions were wrenched from him, his mind started to blank. The sorrow within him started to turn to white cold fury, the King stopped laughing and turned his gaze towards Levi, at that moment, the cold stare which he gave Levi completely froze him. The pressure he exerted was so intense that Levi almost kneeled. He wanted nothing more than to cut him to pieces but it was like his body had been glued to the floor. He was paralyzed with fear and the impending doom. He felt like he was falling into a chasm from which there was no escape and no relief.

"Why... why did you do this?" Levi tried to appear as brave, but the terrifying situation and the sorrow that welled up within him caused him to waver. The King turned to the window side, the room overlooked the prison facility.

He stretched his hands, "This is my victory", he said and turned again towards Levi," The Phoenix clan had grown powerful in the last few decades, so powerful that they were able to even challenge the royal family, but I decided to tear up the foundations of the very strength upon which you prided yourself, this is the end of the Phoenix clan", he proclaimed and started to laugh.

Levi could not even move, he tried to draw his Dainsleif or to call Freya, but everything evaded him, he was left to spiral down into a never ending cycle of sorrow, grief and helplessness.

"But it's not over yet, one of my allies has a personal score to settle with you and how could I ignore the wishes of my favorite subordinates"< The King smiled. He clapped his hands once. Levi had blacked out even before he had registered the blow to his head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was tightly wound to a chair when he woke up, he was in a sort of a performance hall. A brightly lit stage was in front of him. The King was sitting beside him, immediately he felt the surge of fury once again, but this time he was not even able to move his head.

"Don't worry you have been injected with a special poison, you are completely physically paralyzed but you can see and hear everything", the King said.

"Now get ready for the best show of your life", he said. Levi was not able to answer but he was forced to look forward, the lights on the stage dimmed, there was some sort of activity going and a blindfolded figure was led onto the stage, Levi could not properly see who it was, he squinted his eyes to observe the figure.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Along with that person, 5 others walked onto the stage.

The light shone brightly again and Levi realized with a jolt that the blindfolded figure was his mother, she was dressed in a loose white dress, her hair was let down and she looked as confused as she felt. Levi tried to break free but his body was firmly etched into the seat. One of the people leading his mother stepped forward.

"That son of a bitch", thought Levi to himself.

"Welcome esteemed audience to the best show of this century, even though there are only two of you", Yoshimura said, he still had the wicked grin and that same evil hazel eyes. The other men around him chuckled, there were the heads of the other 4 main clans.

"I hope you will enjoy the show, this is our "special" volunteer Tessa Phoenix, a true queen of beauty", he continued, "But how sad would it be if that beauty were to be completely ravaged and laid in the discard pile", he ran a finger across Tessa's cheek, she whimpered slightly. Levi's blood started to boil, he felt an immense anger burning through his veins, eating him from inside out, but he was helpless as the pieces of trash littered across the street, tied to a chair while he witnessed his own mother being violated.

"Without further ado let's start the show", Yoshimura ripped Tessa's clothes from the front, Levi shut his eyes.

"NO! PLEASE NO! DON'T...NO!!" Tessa screamed, for what seemed like an eternity she screamed, the voice echoing in his head endlessly, Levi was angry at his own helplessness, his incapability.

At last the screaming stopped, Levi slowly opened his eyes, he saw his mother laying as a heap on the floor, her blindfold slowly became undone. She looked up. Her eyes said it all.

"Levi..." she mouthed and stretched a hand towards him, Yoshimura stomped on her fingers, Tessa again let out a scream.

"Lay down on the ground like the whore you are, bitch", he said. At that moment something snapped inside Levi. His mind completely blanked as pure rage and fury overtook him.

When his vision cleared, he saw almost 10 weapons jutting from the various parts of his body, one of his eyes was glowing the same brilliant blue like the time it had when he had slashed Yoshimura.

Yoshimura's arm was cleanly slain and was lying on the ground, he was holding his arm and screaming in agony, one of the other heads was missing his leg and another one his head, the King had blood trickling down from his temple. Levi tasted blood in his mouth, the Dainsleif was radiating power and fury in his hand, Tessa had fainted.

He felt his blood and life force trickling out of him, he was about to die he knew it.

"Die you son of a whore, I will take care of her as you and your cursed family rot in hell", Yoshimura hissed at him.

Levi started to lose consciousness, the world slowly slipped away from him. The last thing he saw was the face of the King.

"Such a pity I was not able to kill those bastards", he said to himself as he died.
