Humility.
What did it truly mean?
When Frank entered this Trial, he never guessed he would face such a terrifying event again.
This event, this dream, plays in his head over and over again.
A traumatic event that seemingly had not happened yet, and that…
Despite that…
It still keeps appearing within his head.
Did it truly happen?
Or it didn't?
This trial that the Angels gave to him was more than just getting power.
It was more than just beating some random monsters or something as simple as that.
No, these trials were designed to test a person, their psychology, and who they truly were.
Their hearts.
And right now, Frank was going through this challenge, this trial.
The trial he thought would benefit him greatly, one he thought he would pass easily.
What could he do now?
"I want everything from you."
Wasp spoke with his creepy voice; he wasn't taking anything else but the whole thing back home.
"You want me…? What… do you mean with that?"
"Tch, don't make this more complicated. You know what I want, don't you? Your powers, your abilities… your soul."
"…My soul?"
"You contain large quantities of Cosmic Energy within you, and a powerful Trait. My lord requires a good meal, or he will go on a rampage, you know? Last time, he was only able to appease his fury after devouring several gods from the middle east."
"H-He devoured gods…?! Wait, you're… from the Chaos Gate, aren't you?!"
"Heh… yes. There's no point in hiding the obvious, right?"
As Wasp talked, he extended his long tongue, beginning to approach Kamei's face, who was terrified.
"D-Don't…! Nooo!"
As she cried, Frank gritted his teeth, standing up and walking towards Wasp slowly.
"Please stop…! I-I'll do it…"
What humility truly meant was…
The quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance.
"You can do anything to me… Take my soul apart… But… don't hurt her…" Frank cried. "Please don't hurt her, leave her out of this… If you let her go right now… I will go with you. If you dare hurt her right now… I will escape, and you won't even be able to get to me!"
"Hah…?"
Wasp's red eyes twisted in anger.
"You think you can boss me around, Frankie boy? You're so terribly wrong…! I am the one that makes the rules here!"
Wasp grabbed one of Kamei's hands, as he was about to break it!
"No…! Stop! I told you I would do anything! I TOLD YOU…!"
As he screamed in horror, he ran towards Kamei, some strange power dwelling within him moved him despite the aura that Wasp emanated, so strong it made him sick and weak.
CRACK!
"Aaaaaggghhh!"
Wasp smiled viciously, as he broke Kamei's hand, her fingers were all twisted the wrong way, and a piece of bone was piercing her flesh.
"KAMEI!!!"
It was now or never.
FLASH!
Frank's Aura grew stronger, as he saw himself as nothing compared to others.
As he used Humility to put others more value than himself.
Yes, this was the power of Humility.
BAAAM!
White wings grew on his back, as Frank moved at lightning speed, reaching Wasp faster than he could perceive him.
"Wha…?!"
His eyes widened, as he quickly swung his hands towards Kamei, aiming to crush her skull!
And yet…
BAAAM!
"Ungh…!"
"Shit…!"
Wasp realized his attack hit Frank, as he had positioned himself where Kamei was a second ago, while holding her with one of his arms.
"Gaaagh…?!"
Frank vomited blood, the mere palm attack from Wasp crushed his ribs instantly.
"You bastard! I can't have you die right now…! You're much more valuable than that stupid brat!"
Wasp grew furious, aiming to crush Kamei to break Frank's spirit.
And yet…
"I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY SISTER!!!"
With a furious roar, Frank rushed forward, hitting Wasp chin with the strongest headbutt he could.
CRASH!
"UNGH?! YOU DAMN BRAT…!"
Wasp stepped back and then swung a giant scorpion-like tail that sprouted from his back.
"I'LL RIP YOUR ARMS APART!"
With a furious roar, he swung his deadly scorpion tail, piercing Frank's arms constantly.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Nnnggh… AAAGGH…!"
He was stronger thanks to this mysterious aura, but not even enough.
His arms were punctured, filled with holes, blood splattering everywhere.
"B-Brother…!" Kamei screamed.
"R-Run…! KAMEI, RUN!!!" Frank cried. "Don't make this harder for me… Please run! Call the police! Run from here, and don't stop running! I'LL STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT!"
Frank screamed, not driven by wrath anymore, but by his love for his sister and his humility.
He jumped over Wasp, aiming his stomach towards his tail!
"Y-YOU…?!"
Wasp panicked, quickly pulling the tail away.
Frank knew he was valuable and needed to be alive and used that to his advantage.
"Where do you think you're doing?!"
Wasp quickly grew furious as he saw Kamei escaping the house while crying and bleeding, without looking back.
He tried to give her chase, but Frank's arms, as broken and wounded as they were, were tightly wrapped around his leg!
"Let go of me, you damn shit!"
Wasp grew furious, kicking Frank's head constantly.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"I won't…! I WON'T LET YOU HARM MY FAMILY ANYMORE!!!"
"Nnnggh! You're so damn annoying!"
Wasp screamed furiously, as he sprouted a pair of giant wasp-like wings from his back, and then began flying, breaking the house's ceiling.
CRASH!
"She must be- Ah?! You're still holding my leg?!"
Wasp's eyes widened, as he saw Frank still holding tightly on his leg, gasping for air, his bright wings were only growing bigger.
And even the faint silhouette of a halo appeared above his head.
Wasp looked into the distance, noticing Kamei several blocks away.
"That damn shit runs really fast! She's about to escape the Domain! I have to…!"
Wasp rushed towards Kamei, flying at lightning speed.
"Aaah!"
Kamei noticed the loud buzzing sound produced by Wasp's wings, panicking as she saw the half-insect monster approaching.
"B-Bastard…!"
In that moment.
"Let…"
Frank's light…
"LET HER GO!!!"
Shone the brightest.
FLAAASH!
