Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 43 - Kei and Ren
"He's finally done it, huh?" kei asked quietly from above the sky, watching Ren and Edna.
While Edna sat down, crying while hugging the blue Pendant, Ren still looked up at the sky, trying to hold back the cry.
"From the beginning, the white devil would not have been created without sorrow. When the owner of the Seed has the opposite emotion to the one he has, and it is active at the same time, then there will be an abnormality. And for [Wrath], it's the white devil, the crazy ice controller." Kei looked into his hands, then turned his head towards Cilia.
"Don't you ever do that, Kei? It was me who was in a cornered state." said Cilia teasing Kei.
Kei smiled wryly, then turned his gaze in another direction.
"Facing him now will be very difficult. I won't hold back" Kei said as he readied the spear in his right hand.
Cilia understood, and immediately prepared some magic and daggers that she stored.
***
("I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!") ren's heart screamed, seeing Edna's cry.
("I'M JUST BRINGING TROUBLE TO EVERYTHING.... Why?!! WHY!!! I hate myself!") ren's teeth were grinding, indicating how angry he was now.
Ren continued to curse in his heart, denouncing himself with various painful reproaches.
Seen from the outside, he was only silent and looked strong, even though he had already broken from within his heart. Only he held on so that Edna would not be more sad than this.
That was when the attack happened.
Ren suddenly strengthened his eyes, and his hand also immediately drew out the Azantine sword.
But the attack happened very quickly, and unexpectedly. Dozens of large green-colored spears came suddenly to invade Ren.
Ren who was still in White Demon mode did not give up so easily, instantly forming several dragons that instantly tried to hold the huge spear. But, it was even too powerful when faced with Kei's great spear.
Not only that, Kei came as fast as lightning, thrusting the spear in his hand towards Ren.
[Critical Perception] Ren was silent, making him able to dodge the attack.
The eyes of the two of them met for a moment, before Kei let out a slight laugh, while continuing the tubered attack towards Ren.
Seeing that, Ren also did not hesitate to dance with the Azantine sword in his hand.
Sparks were created in the two of them, which unwittingly destroyed the land and buildings around them.
GRAHH!!!
Ren was still controlling the Ice Dragon Snake to attack Kei, but Kei also destroyed them with a shot of greenish-colored magic that instantly memorized the dragon into dust.
But it was all just a diversion, for Ren to be able to use his fastest speed, trying to chop Kei up.
Kei was shocked at the first strike, where Ren's sword grazed Kei's cheek for a moment, before finally being passed on to dozens of attacks in a matter of seconds.
Kei received a lot of damage from Ren's quick attack. It made Kei laugh.
"Good! Nice one!! It has to be this way!!" shout Kei.
Kei activated yet another bit of his [Wrath] strength, making half of his hand covered in strange tattoos.But clearly, it increased his strength.
The two of them continued to clash their weapons and strength, looking like a fierce fight.
?!!
"Oh, Cilia. You're disturbing." snorted Kei quietly.
It was Cilia's doing, who ensnared Ren with her [Lust] ability. It should have ensnared Ren's mind, but since Ren's endurance was too high, he only got an effect on his body.
"You're taking too long, Kei. It would be bad if you take too long in such a fierce fight. You can forget the time!" reply Cilia.
Ren who saw that was a little gawking, but soon realized with his condition.
"What'sthis? What do you guys want? Where's Edna's sister?!!" Ren shouted furiously when he was completely unable to move.
"Hey hey, relax. Your brother is here. We didn't do anything bad to him. It's just, we want to do a little something to you." Kei replied as he escorted Edna, who immediately ran towards Ren.
After making sure the good Edna was fine, Ren could breathe a sigh of relief, but again stared intently at Kei and Cilia.
"What do you want?" ask Ren.
"alright. Get to the point. You're having a hard time seeing what your powers are now, aren't you? You know for yourself that power will only lead to destruction. You already know it all." said Kei who went straight to the heart of the matter.
"..." that obviously left Ren speechless.
"Because of that, you've been dealing with too much of this. You have to stop doing it."
"As you said, you have to break the bond" Kei continued.
Ren really doesn't know, what he should do now. His heart was at war, between justifying Kei's words and blaming him.
"Therefore, I will take away your power, and the ability to control your natural magic will seal me. You won't be able to control magic like this anymore" Kei said trying to negotiate.
Ren just kept quiet, trying to think about it.
"Indeed if I stop, if I release this power, will the others go on as usual?"
"Can others live safely without any problems eyeing their lives? Can they stay as they are now? Can they?" asked Ren to urge Kei.
Kei heard that laughing.
"I remind. You weren't here in the first place. In other words, you are an abnormality" Kei said.
"Huh? What's that supposed?" Edna looked confused.
Ren immediately understands that Kei is discussing that Ren is the Reincarnator, and should not be here.
"You know? If you don't exist, it's likely that Suzu died in the first place, and there's a chance that the cult didn't attack the city by sending out the monster. Know it? You've ruined the order of the world!" kei said again.
"And now, you can't run away from this anymore. But by removing your tracks here, you won't be tracked."
"You just need to see the world with your own eyes, and get back together with your family. That's what you want, isn't it?" ask Kei. All of that really went in like Kei could read Ren's mind.
The atmosphere became silent, as Ren was thinking about what he would do next.
He looked at Edna who was just looking at Ren expectantly, and looked around her, especially the ground that was bleached from the snow, and glanced at the pendant held by Edna.
("I've really crossed the line.") Inner Ren whispered.
"alright. I'll take it all off."
