Chapter 82
The shadow of the cancerbero attacked them fiercely. You speak his language,” he says. -Luis tries to grab one of its jaws to prevent it from biting him. You're insinuating that because I'm a canine, I'll know his language. No, how do you think, that would be racist. “Its racist, my friend Luis, but yes, I understand the language of this doggy shadow, you must know that it is not a language of words, we only use barks to try to communicate with other species, it is something complex, they are grunts combined with smells, it would be difficult to make a dictionary. I'm going to try, here I go friend cancerbero, we don’t wa to threaten you, we just want to save our pack mates. To which one of the heads of the shadow dog replied: “We don't care, our master ordered us to devour them, we can't go against his orders, since he is a very merciless being. Quiet, we have come to eliminate it so that it can stop doing harm. -Estrello growled, transforming back into a huge wo #1 don't think you'll succeed, he's too powerful and evil. -I name him another shadow cancerbero head. #1 like him. -mentioned the head that had yet to speak. #It's in their best interest that we eliminate him, they could go free to graze in his place of origin. We've talked about it between us, we'd like to go back to Cancerberus, only there are no shadows in hell because there no light there. “We can take them to hell and leave them a lantern. -Estrello calmed the beast who stopped attacking them, before the merciless gaze of the king of darkness. #In that case, attack it while we try to escape. -The enormous canine came out breaking through the walls and Mephistopheles recited: “You know how hard it is to get servants these days, I thought it was strange that they would take a wolf as a companion Let's attack him to give Francisco a chance, so he can bury the emerald. -Angie proposed as she launched an attack on Mephistopheles, who hit her without touching her, while she said to them, “You assholes, you couldn't beat me: “You fools, you couldn't beat me in the full light of your sun, much less can you do it in my domain, in this world that is offshoot of my body. -He raised his arm to the horizon where a dog's squeal was heard, the hand came back with cancerbero who ended up slurped up like a spaghetti. Don't think of yourself as invincible, we saw how you got scared when you saw the emerald. -Luis replied by attacking hi -Itis possible that a prophecy says that beings from another world would defeat me with a magical rock called the emerz of the goddess Fura, but that could be just superstitions and legends. -Her voice sounds strange, betraying her fear. -Luisa reveals, cutting off Mephistopheles’ arm. You know we will destroy you, your reign of evil is at an end. -Luis chastised him while defending Luisa from his counterattack. Come on, try, you don't stand a chance, remember that your greatest enemy is the evil within you. -Saying this, he threw some rays at them, which they couldn't dodge, it was as if they were searching for them magnetically, although they didn’ notice any effects, until their own shadows rose up against them, fighting them as equals. “It's impossible to beat them, they move faster than us, they'll kill us for sure, let's try to change the opponent. -Angie proposed, tired of being beaten by her own shadow, and they didn't let go, avoiding the changes, their swords clashed in unison like a musical choreography, only that they, if they got tired, were charging her for the lack of food and sleep. “that's all the boys of the prophecy have, what a pity I correct, the boys and old Francisco, who had already been here an who on that occasion I only let them pass because they were with The Maker, who shortly afterwards conferred on me on of his keys, look at it I always carry it in my chest, it is safer than any safe in any world, no one can take it away from me. the same way that your friends are prisoners, I have them inside me, I decided to keep them in case things suddenly got complicated, if some chosen one appeared or the Maker himself, one should never leave anything to chance, even call th shadow of terror, what a pity that at this rate they won't know it. 1 don't trust that we can take them, I am forced to use the emerald, there is no other way. -spoke Francisco, taking out th jewel. “No wait, there is another option, remember the Yagiie that the shaman gave us, I heard that it takes out the bad spirits, let's swallow it. -said Luis placing the example, without tasting it, he passed it to him throwing his head back, he immediately vomited a fetid greenish, viscous liquid, that melted his evil shadow. -Let’s do the same, please give me a little piece, I can't find mine. -Guio broke his dose in two and gave it to Francisco, wh swallowed it with exaggerated gestures. Estrello and Guio did the same and just like Luis they melted their shadows, only Angie was still fighting. Angie, why don't you drink it? -Francisco asked her, wiping his mouth. “I lost it, I don't know what I did. I already remembered, with that I destroyed Cucacuy’s calabazo, where he had so many demons locked up. -Angie answered, while the shadow hit her belly. Here, I kept a piece, in the jungle we purge ourselves every waning moon, that's why I don't need much. -Estrello sent he a few pieces of leaves and Angie pretended to drop them. “We'd all better defeat Angie's shadow. -Luisa helped her out of the embarrassing situation, and in no time at all the shadow succumbed to the strength of the mob. Well done, I'm glad I will use the shadow of terror, my greatest weapon. -Mephistopheles smiled as they attacked him, n letting them get close enough to put the emerald in his chest, suddenly he disappeared leaving a thick fog, a cold breeze began to blow inside the palace and a requiem of violins could be heard in the distance. We have to stay together,” Francisco told them without being able to see anyone. He only heard voices in the distance, h began to walk with his sword in his hand, when he heard a baby crying, he saw it there in a car, he lifted it up, he thought was beautiful, it even looked like him, and why not if it was his son with Mery, they had spent the pregnancy together, something very complicated, He was on the point of aborting it, they both spent the whole time in the clinic, even thougt she treated him very badly because she got annoyed with him during the pregnancy, he was always there like a faithful dog, he even had to sleep on the floor several nights, all the sacrifices were worth it when he saw that pretty little face. I love them very much, they are the love of my life,” said Francisco while Mery appeared to hug them, the three of them were a beautiful family with a lot of desire to get ahead. They had even planned to go for a trip to a beach, a trip they ha paid for a year, they could already imagine the three of them in that place. Suddenly, their embrace was interrupted by a scream from the mother. -My baby is not breathing! -They tried to resuscitate him without success, they called the ambulance when they arrived, they were only told: “I'm sorry! -Francisco knelt down to embrace her, crying with her, “It can't be, why me? -The woman turned her face away and Francisco felt terrified when he saw that she was just a screamin skull that slowly fell apart in the wind...
