127. Goodbye, Grandpa Loki!

“Area of Green Wind.”  In a state that seemed to have coughed up blood, a grandfather forced himself to expel his spiritual power in the form of a green wind area that enveloped the entire city of Jakarta.

Then then, “See of My Eyes.  To the Future.”  In an instant, tens of thousands of eyes seemed reflected through the green wind formed by the grandfather in all corners of the city of Jakarta.

“Ukh.”  Grandpa coughed up blood.

“Hei, Loki.  Stop, stop.  You are too old to be on the front lines of battle.

Shouting Airi then continued by Andika who seemed to worry about their peers.

The three of them are old, but their determination to protect the city of Jakarta is still strong.

“What's frontline?  I was just helping to predict the presence of the enemy.  I no longer fight through my physique.  Uhuk.  Uhuk.”  Coughing, Grandpa Loki seemed to be trying hard.

A moment later, an old grandmother came to them.

Airi and Andika heard those footsteps.

“Nadia?”

“Nadia, long time ago, yes.”

As soon as they saw the figure of the old grandmother, they momentarily pangling in disbelief were still able to see a friend whom they had not met for a long time.

“What are you doing here, Nadia?  It's dangerous here.  You are not a combat-type spiritualist.  It's not better that you're here.”  Said Airi to Nadia.

“We are old.  We have long since retreated from the front row of the fight.  But our spirit remains the same as it used to be.  However, we both love our city of Jakarta.  We will never waste the sacrifice of the Young Master at that time.  Isn't that right, Andika, Airi?”

“Ya, you're right, Nadia.”

“But one thing.  I'm sure Kaiser is fine and soon there will be clues to find his whereabouts.”

Airi responds in agreement.  However, Andika slightly corrected Nadia's speech.

Nadia was silent.  More than anyone, Nadia knew that Andika was the closest person to the young master of her idol.  Andika who is the hardest hit will lose that figure.  But Nadia is realistic.  It has been 32 years since Kaiser and his wife were stranded in a virtual world.  Little chance of him still to be found.

He himself was old and had long given up, even 3 of them 20 had breathed their last, including their leader, Agni Gem.  Nadia can now only wish the best for her young master wherever he is.

“Loki, I know this is cruel.  If you can, I want you to give up too, given your age.  However, far from the bottom of our hearts, we hope that you will not give up.  Once an attack without anticipation alone, two thousand more casualties had fallen.  If it wasn't for your strength after that, then there would definitely be even more casualties.  So, please don't give up, for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

Nadia's grandmother also said with teary eyes.

“Use the remnants of our strength that we have gathered to protect the City of Jakarta.  Continue our determination this.”  Nadia said while giving the strength she had gathered along with the 17 members who had been left out of them.

That's Nadia's mainstay power, the power to transfer power.

Loki continued his duties in doing other tracking remnants in places in every corner of Jakarta City.

“Thank God, there was only 1 place where the monsters appeared before Adrian and the others completed their mission.  It seems your son is great, Andika, Airi.  They can complete the mission well.  Now our job is to minimize casualties here before their task is completed.  It is located in the G13.” area

“Ukh.”

After saying that sentence, Loki vomited blood violently.

Andika, Airi, and Nadia ran over to Loki who had fallen unconscious.  No, his breathing has been cut off.  Loki's grandfather has died as the hero of mankind.

“No, Loki?

“Loki!”

Shouted Airi and Andika in panic.  Once they realized that the grandfather was lifeless, they wept for their comrade-in-arms.

“No, it's all my fault.  If I hadn't burdened him.”.

“No, Nadia, this is all Loki's wish.  More than anyone else, we all know that we can predict the monster attack so far after the last attack that took so many lives that no more casualties appeared afterwards, all thanks to the power of Loki.  Loki must be at the end of his life satisfied with all that and go to nature there quietly.”

“As an abandoned colleague who might also soon catch up with him, only one we have to do, which is continue his struggle.”

Airi's words were determined to encourage Nadia, no, in principle those words were for all of them, including Airi herself.

Not long after, the team is sent to the scene where the team is led by Lilia, Nafisah's older brother. Also present with his distant uncle, Lui, who has aged too but still remains with a fit body.  Also along with them Dream and Arjuna as a support team.  All of them do not know the news of Grandpa Loki's death.  Andika and Airi decided to keep it a secret for the sake of the team's morale.

“Dream, look!  That's the dimension point.”  Shouted Arjuna commemorates Dream as the owner of the sharpest eyes among them all.

“Alright, I saw it, Arjuna.”

While saying that, Dream also activated her sub-space style and trapped a dimensional point and a team of monster attackers into it.

The dimensional point was enlarged and a number of giant trolls came out from it.

“Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.  Oh, naw!  Their numbers are too many.  How's this, Captain?  Can we beat him?”  One of the female team members who looked closest to Lilia then asked in panic.

“Give me.” Dream even though she looks doubtful.

“Enable system penalty.  Violating the laws of nature.  Giant bodies are unacceptable.  Size correction.  Resize according to natural law.”  Dreams seem to speak calmly to the way standard customer service talks to customers.

A moment later, the size of the trolls shrank to the size of humans.

Seeing the size of those who have shrunk, the spirit soul of the fighters back then advanced to attack the troll monsters.  But even though their body size has shrunk, trolls are still tough opponents to beat.

“Good work, Dream.”  Praise Arjuna to Dream.

“Ah, thank God because the shape of the monster this time resembles a human.  So I can apply the power of system correction to them.  It really is a gift.  Had it been, a giant shrimp monster or scorpion like before that appeared, I don't know what would happen.  I can still trap them in the sub dimensional space, but surely those warrior soldiers will have great difficulty confronting them.”

Dream speech accompanied by breath.

“Yes, thank goodness.  In the end things are heading in a good direction.”  Arjuna's reply was accompanied by a calm smile.

A moment later, due to their meager numbers of no longer dominating sizes, the trolls were quickly defeated.  Basically, the eyesight of trolls is not good so they use the gap to trap the trolls into their traps and beat them easily.

Now, based on the vision of Grandpa Loki's future, no more danger will appear to threaten the city of Jakarta.  What remains is the news of the seventh victory of the volunteer team to finish off the mastermind of the disaster in the virtual world.  But again that it is just a reflection of the future that the chance of occurrence is greatest.  There is still a small possibility that the future is actually bad ending.
