The female spirit was trying to enchant him to make him think that he could never break out. He was enchanted, so he never realized that these were not his thoughts, and he did not know that the female spirit hid inside him. But now he could feel her existence! "Ah!" He yelled and pushed the lid! He broke a hole in the lid, and he could see the sky. He was happy, and he continued to push it. He felt a power surge inside him after seeing the sky, and it was bursting out of him. The lid of the barrel flung! He hurriedly tried to jump out of it!
"No… No!" The female spirit yelled. She grabbed Zachary’s ankle to stop him from leaving! The female spirit’s eye turned red, and she thought, It’s impossible to break free! How could one possibly know how obsessed I was with opening it when I was dying? She always felt that she could leave after opening the lid. But she tried and tried and ended up dying in the barrel. Can this lid really be opened? Why couldn't I do it? How could a child do it?
"No, no! You can’t leave." She held on to his leg. Zachary was held back when he was just getting out of the barrel. He looked back and saw her glaring at him like a malignant ghost coming out of hell. She still looked scary, but somehow he was not scared anymore. "What the!" He was furious, thinking how innocent he was. Suddenly he was trapped by her, and he went through a tragic death five times. He was just a kid. And he had never done any bad things before. How dared she? He kicked her out of anger just to break free, but suddenly a light flashed and the female spirit was flung back into the barrel! He was shocked. When was my leg so powerful?
"Ah!" she yelled, "Save me! Save me!" She continued to cry, "I’m dying; it’s so hot." Zachary did not have the kindness to save her, despite how pitiful she sounded. Everything around him was lit up. And the villagers, the noises of the wizards—everything rewinded like a movie. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was in the damaged house.
Lilly looked at him and yelled, "Zachary! Zachary!" He abruptly sat up, only realizing that he was still in the same spot. Everything seemed like a dream to him.
"What happened?" He was shocked that he was still in the ruined room with the old mosquito net. But everything was not as dark as before. This room might be dimmer than the rest, but it should not be that dark. He could see clearly at the moment, and he did not even feel scared. Lilly said, "Zachary, I know that you can do it! You’re the best!" He was proud to hear her words, although he was still blurred, but he said, "Of course!"
Suddenly, the female spirit dashed toward him again. She succeeded in transferring her pain to him just now, and he suffered in her place. But she did not expect him to become powerful, and he kicked her out of his body. "You should die for me. Die for me!" She cried blood, and the skin on her face burst.
Zachary was startled, and he got into the position and kicked her. "Dammit, get away from me!" And she flung herself away! She was not lucky this time; Zachary’s kick broke her into pieces. Lilly was amazed by his power. Zachary has awakened! The power of Mammon is undeniably strong!
She thought.
