Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 58: Aswad 5 of 15 “To Love” (Part 03)
The place began to disintegrate. The sky cracked like a glass that was hit hard, hollow holes appeared everywhere, buildings floating in the air started to collide with each other. The pieces of the black and white floor were lifted up one by one, soaring into the air and choppy udder in a chaotic manner. Distortions were created and the shifting of the Soul Realm began to occur imperfectly.
“Weak basis ...”
The words he heard stopped Seliari's cries, silent and slowly staring with the mind hoping that Odo was still alive, even though he had killed the young man himself. Seeing the body of the young man he was covering, Seliari shivered in fear to see what was in front of him.
Odo did not recover like he had activated regeneration magic, but he rose again in a chaotic form without regenerating in the slightest. The eyeballs coming out of the cavity start to rotate, the severed hand starts to move, the heart that should have been destroyed is back beating.
“Exit!” With his right hand cut to the elbow, Odo struck Seliari until it bounced away.
“Ugh!”
It slammed into the girl's waist, causing her to vomit blood and tremble weakly and unable to get up immediately. Raising his face and seeing what was before him, the fear of the dragon girl became certain.
“Who ... you .. actually?”
The upper body that had been cut into pieces and shattered was completely moving, black particles like Dark Matter were fusing together the cut parts of its body to the smallest pieces. In a matter of less than ten seconds, the young man's body re-integrated completely and stood upright shrouded in a terrifying black aura. He slowly opened his eyes, looking up with a wide grin like a Devil.
“I don't think my soulmate is fighting at all .... Aaa~ah, whereas I want him to at least be able to get rid of the lizard from this place.”
“You ... not Odo, ‘kan?”
Seliari stretched her right hand forward, her lying spear instantly floated back into her hand and she immediately jumped back to keep her distance. With a trembling body, he raised his voice and again asked, “Who are you really?! Quickly answer!”
“Eng?” The youth covered in darkness stared, put on a contemptuous smile and said, “Low lizard like you talk like a ruler, very funny .... Didn't you expect this young man to die? Why ask now?”
The tempestuous black aura around the young man's body began to center at a single point before him, forming a huge scythe weapon and starting to take on a concrete physical form. The rest of the aura again enveloped him, then completely changed his body structure. The moment the aura disappeared, the young man's form changed completely.
His long black hair, glowing blood-red cornea and pale white skin, then the clothes he wore turned into a plain black dress. She looked completely different, being a woman who was nothing like Odo Luke.
Leaving barefoot on the floor, his figure suddenly disappeared from the sight of the dragon girl. When he looked back, the black haired woman had stood before him and unhesitatingly swung her scythe towards Seliari.
The dragon girl held back the handover easily using a spear, but the aura present on the sickle began to contaminate her weapon and made the handle of the blue-colored crystal slowly blacken. Quickly, it shattered into pieces.
Taking a short step forward, the black-haired female spun using her left leg as a pedestal and again swung her scythe towards Seliari.
Just as the scythe tip was about to hit the dragon girl's chest, the black haired female's movement suddenly came to a halt at the last second. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Seliari directly hit him in the face hard and blinded him bouncing away. Many times rolled on the floor and only stopped after hitting one of the towers in the place until it collapsed.
“A-What was that? Dark Matter's? Why ... he stopped?”
Seliari trembled, stepping back with a deathly pale face. Perceptionally the figure is not too strong, but there is something different and makes him not stop shaking when in front of him. Feeling the air that was emanating from the black hair woman, the dragon girl's instinct screamed to run away and make her body can not be moved properly.
Death, that form is as if the incarnation of the element. It was so thick, cold, and could not figure out its essence. Everyone who lives is just a victim in front of him.
“Akh, his consciousness is starting to return, huh? Very quickly he recovered .... At least let me finish off this lizard and completely swallow its power. Huh, even though I did this for his own good, but this is what I got? It was so sad to feel ..”
The figure came out from the ruins of the tower, with a wound on his face that quickly recovered. Creating a huge scythe using black particles on his right hand, he stepped his foot and started grinning.
“Si-Who are you! Why can ...”
“You don't need to know that.” In a split second, the figure suddenly stood behind Seliari and held both sides of her shoulders. Closing his mouth to his ears, the figure whispered, “I am the darkness, the suffering, the despair, and the chaos of this world. You know, little lizard. The world from the beginning was always balanced. If the gods possessed and divided Blessings on living beings, who do you think has the Curse in this world?”
“Whatever I care about!” Seliari directly swung her right hand back and hit the figure with the back of the hand. But what he attacked was only an illusion created from his fear, the figure from earlier just stood in place and did not move at all.
Instantly he realized what he was facing was really on a different level. Not in terms of strength, but its existence has entered into a completely different realm. Seliari could not stop trembling, stepping back in fear until her voice could not come out.
“Yes, like what you had in mind.” The figure raised its scythe high, stepped forward and prepared to decapitate the dragon girl. While swinging his scythe, in a dark voice he said, “I am the Black Element! The form that will envelop—”
Once again his scythe came to a halt as it was about to hit Seliari's body, a powerful thrust from within the form of the figure stopped him. The scythe from the compaction of the dark aura instantly decomposed back into its initial form, then moved towards its user. It turned into a sword that floated in the air, then pierced the figure right at the chest.
“You've been delayed, give him back now!”
The Soul Realm that Seliari belonged to was instantly shattered, everything broke into pieces and the place changed again. Before Seliari and the black-haired female realized it, they had returned to the Soul Realm earlier — A place where the Great Tree stood firm and the meadow spread wide.
Looking to the right and left in confusion, the black-haired woman searched for the source of the sound that seemed to echo to the corner of the place. But before he found the owner of the voice, suddenly one of the roots of a giant tree came out from the ground. It wriggled like a giant snake, then its pointed tip directly pierced the body of the black hair woman from the front and hung her high.
After being tossed around by the giant root that hit her stomach, the woman's body was violently slammed onto a large rock until the sound of her bone crumbling was clearly heard. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, one of his eyes reddened as his veins ruptured. Although most of her bones were supposed to be broken because of that, the woman in black dress got back up and came down from the boulder.
“Damn it! Fucking imitation base!”
The woman no longer cared for Seliari, desperately running away from the Great Tree which began to raise some of its giant roots above the ground. It was like a bunch of snakes that were alive, wriggling and starting to move against the woman.
While running, the black-haired woman created a scythe and cut off some of the wooden roots that attacked her. The already damaged body is forced to move, broken blood vessels and broken bones make its movement limited.
One of the roots came from the front like a giant snake, then quickly pierced towards the woman. He tried to swing the sickle, but the bone of his right hand reached its limit and broke. That keeps the swing off course away from the target. The pointy end of the giant root directly hit his stomach, then raised his body high up. The scythe on his hand disappeared, his entire body numb. Even so, the woman's consciousness was completely still there.
Other roots approached, then stabbed both hands and tied the woman's legs. Blood dripped out of his body, blotting out the roots and falling onto the grass. Although the woman's body should have been dying from earlier, she could still move and loudly said, “Damn you! That's you, ‘kan!? Fucking doll! An artificial personality like you don't interfere in my affairs!! How dare you access the power of the World Tree Branch when I take over this soul! Exit ka—!!”
A wooden pole was created on the trunk of a giant tree, then shot fiercely towards the woman and pierced her mouth until it penetrated backwards. His jaw was crushed, his neck was broken by the shock and blood began to splatter down.
Seeing what was happening, Seliari just limped over the grass with a puzzled look. During her stay in Odo's Soul Realm, the dragon girl had never seen the Great Tree that had always been her shade move as aggressively as it was now.
“A-What happened? What is this Soul Realm ..?”
On the stem where the wooden pole shot out, a chunk of crystal slowly came out and emitted a bright golden light. The crystal immediately broke apart shortly after being exposed to a gust of wind from the outside, then from inside came out a blond woman wearing a plain white dress.
Seliari instantly recognized the woman's face, she woke up and in her mind said, “Dia ... her mother Odo?”
A halo appeared above the head of the blonde woman, then a pair of wings created from light particles collected on her back. Seen from anywhere, it was the form of a whole angel. He floated forward, flapped his feather wings and flew towards the female who was crucified by the giant roots.
The woman in black dress could still move even though her mouth was pierced by a pole, she pulled her hard-pressed right hand until it broke and tried to escape. Continuously struggling, against — The black-haired woman stared at the wrath of the female figure flying towards her
Floating before the black haired woman, the angelic figure reached out her right hand forward and said, “Get out of her right now, you handicap ..”.
A burst of light instantly shattered the woman's body along with the roots that crucified her. Foul flesh and bone scattered chaotically on the grass. A headless, legless, and without both hands bounced towards Seliari, rolling over the grass and stopping before him.
“Hiii!!”
The dragon girl shivered in fear, immediately got up and stepped back tremblingly looking at the charred body piece. His pale face looked up towards the figure of the blonde-haired angel, trembling before the figure that came from the higher dimension.
“Ke-Why can .. there are angels in this Soul Realm?”
“Why? Huh, that's a silly question ...” The angel floated down, footing barefoot on the grass. While walking towards Seliari, he put on a faint smile and said, “From the beginning I was the one who took care of this child, from the beginning I was the one who inhabited this Soul Realm, and from the beginning I was the one who oversaw it.”
“Si-Who are you? Why can ... your shape ..., your face is ...”
“Although you have peeked at the memory of my son from this place, you still do not know?” The blonde woman squinted her green eyes, then while looking annoyed she said, “Indeed ... The Great Dragon Race was full of arrogance, so selfish and thinking only of oneself. Though my son has done many things for you to give up his emotional pieces, but you from the beginning until now only think of yourself.”
“Your son?” Seliari stared intently, feeling that the blonde woman in front of him was indeed Mavis Luke. But when he looked into his eyes directly and felt that there was something very different about the woman, Seliari immediately realized that she was wrong.
“I am the real Mavis, the grisly prey of the Demon Monsters that rampaged through the city of Gahon a dozen years ago. Intara Hexe series is pathetic whose personality is damaged after using angel manifestation ...”
Seliari's eyes opened wide upon hearing that. From Odo's memories, the dragon girl knew about the tragedy of Gahon city and now the one who became Mavis in the Real World is not the fifth Homunculus soul of the Intara Hexe series, the, but Proten who is the prototype soul of the Intara Hexe.
Despite knowing this, it still did not enter to see the supposedly broken soul standing before him and using the power of angels freely. The dragon girl stepped back, then shakily asked, “Ke-Why can it? Not that the soul of the original Mavis has ...”
“I have indeed been damaged. However ...” The woman's steps came to a halt, momentarily bowing her face and saying, “It doesn't mean my soul is gone. While inside that disgusting monster, my soul was bound in Odo Luke's soul. Despite being extremely weak and fragile, my existence remained and as time went on it continued to grow until now. Being the basic construction that cultivates his memories and magic, it becomes part of the soul of this Overtime Ruler.”
