Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 53 - Desperation
"What... This is?" I made it to about 2 hours after I left. The night had come, but everything I saw was still bright.
Fire raged in several houses, and there were many people running around, chased by a jet-black creature, which shot many dancing arrows.
There were many of them, avoiding them felt impossible.
"[Zadkiel]" I don't know what to do anymore. Where I'm going. What should I fight for again.
No no! I can't despair like this! I must keep my promise!
"Seventh" I need to check into the Larvest family area! I'm certain. I must be sure!!
***
"It's all really gone." I looked to the right and left, there were only strange black marks stuck on each shattered stone, also melting the stone.
"Hey! Anyone!" I tried to get rid of some debris, but all I saw was a shapeless corpse.
It was completely destroyed due to the brutal stabbing all over its body.
It's really like the end of the day.
Rank-S attack, that black monster, what is it? They're destroying the whole city! Don't don't don't, "Apostle" it?!
Then, what about my family, Uncle Childe, or even Syila?
Oi oi! Don't joke like this! They must have taken refuge, right? Right, right?!!
"Please ak-" I heard a screaming voice that was then restrained. I did not stop running to the origin of the sound.
The black creature stabbed a person with its black arrow. As for the person, it had now become a lump of lifeless meat.
"Zadkiel." I can only grumble the word softly.
The weapon behind me was ready to fire its bullet to finish off the black monster with a single strike.
I can no longer keep my mind clear. My head was empty again because of this. All around me were corpses and debris.
Bodies lined up around me, like marching from the dead. Many are impaled, some have no head.
"It's a lie, isn't it?" I can't think of anything.
"Someone?!" I just screamed empty.
"Is someone alive?!" Only an echo can answer me.
My tears flowed slowly, accompanying my slow steps. I can only scream "Someone!" "Someone!" Knowing no one will answer.
"SOMEONE!!!" please, something come to me! Whether it's an animal or an insect! Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to be destroyed!
"Seseor-" my screams stopped.
I saw a moving figure, running around carrying someone else in hand. With a black monster behind him.
He looked skilled as he could get through the rubble quickly using his foot, while the sword behind him.
I didn't stop running as fast as I could to get there.
"People? People! Hey!!! Come here I'll interrupt" my screams not to the fullest. The shapeless monster's black claw pierced through the two of them, who ran like the only one left here.
The claw killed them both, just as I was about to save them.
A penetrating claw, like it pierced through all my hopes. It's destroying. That's... Killed him.
And they both died in front of me.
"FUCK YOU!!! DEAD BASTARD KAUUU!!!!" I really can't think of anything right now other than killing him.
I moved as fast as I could to cut the monster using an Azantium knife all the way to even the smallest piece! If I could, I would kill him to the soul of his soul!
"Huh, huh, huh." My breath was irregular because of my emotions.
"Are you ba-" I really can't continue what I said.
My eyes were wide open, and at once, my heart stopped. There was a little bit of excitement because I met someone, but it vanished like it was swallowed up by a monster earlier.
"Pa-punches. Uncle C-Chil.de?" Someone I know very well, someone I consider a second father. Now in front of me in a dying state?
No kidding! What the fuck is this! Nah! I can't take it!
"Maximum Heal! [Sanctuary]!" I can only cast all my light magic now, trying to cure them, until I realize
"Well, if you're be-begi-tu, y-yang in s-sana?" I refuse to look. I know who it is. I refuse to look. No!!
God, whoever God is here, I beg you, who's there don't like what I think!
"Sy-Syila?" His condition is not too bad. He was slightly impaled there, but I'm sure my [Sanctuary] will cure him! Yep! That's sure!
I'm sure, Syila's fine! I have to believe! L'm...
"Re-ren?" A heavy voice came from behind me.
"Uncle Childe?! Uncle Childe! Hang in! Let's find a healer! I'm sure even if it's you you can come back as usual! Lookie! I used a legendary level healing technique here. So, help me!" My screams echoed in the place surrounded by the fire.
All was silent, except for the sound of monsters coming increasingly gathered, the sound of blazing fire, or the sound of buildings starting to collapse.
In other words, there was only the sound of destruction.
"More. Ii'm sorry. Forgive me for not being able to take care of Syila. I'm sorry." He said something strange.
Don't say that, please!
He reached my hand, looking at Syila with a smile.
"This is a curse. And very strong. You can't even get rid of it." Uncle Childe's story trembled a little.
"Dam! Don't joke with me! Speak properly!" He must be kidding, right? Me? Can't do? You're kidding me, right? I can do everything! Me, me, I can do whatever I want! Everybody!!!" I screamed no crap.
"Yes yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, for Syila. Ii'm sorry. Syila too. I'm sorry." He started to apologize.
("No. Don't say that. If you say that, my heart will be broken!") but reality seems to say something else.
"Ahaha. That's not funny. Oi! Don't sleep! Lookie! You're asleep! Hey, Syila! Wake up! Look at your father falling asleep in these difficult times!" I accused Uncle Childe, who had closed his eyes, of falling asleep with a smile.
He pranking! He's asleep! I can see his smile from here!
Waitaminute! I have to check. Syila! Don't tell me he's also playing like Uncle Childe? Hey, don't play!
"Came on! I can cure you. I can cure you! I can cure you! Because of that, because of that! Please, please don't pretend like that!" I held Syila's hand. He finally opened his eyes, though slowly.
"This magic power, Ren? Thank ye. I feel better now." He smiled gently.
I laughed, seeing that smile was painful to me.
"really right? I'm telling you, actually I can use magic. I also have all the magic elements. Even I can use [Sanctuary], this is the strongest healing magic I have."
"Cool, right? Even this can restore lost body parts, and eliminate abnormal status! Now you will not be ashamed to have a fiancee of a human, because she is the strongest person in this world. The man who can... Can..can make you happy." I don't know why my tears are getting worse.
Hey eyes! Why are you shedding tears? Am I not sure that I can save Syila myself?
"Hey Ren. Do you know?" Syila smiled when she called me.
"I feel like we've met before. I feel really right looking at you, doing cool things, fighting to save me."
"At first I just thought that it was a dream, it was all my delusion. But the more days it's all the clearer."
"The knight with black hair, but a white heart. You are, my hero." He closed his eyes, making a line in his eyes while smiling. Very sweet.
It makes me remember the past. The first time I met him. When after that, I was introduced to her by Childe's uncle, and the day we spent together.
"Yes. I was there first. I saved you. I saved your life! So please, please don't make it all pointless!" fuckin' hell! My tears can't stop!
"Therefore, Ren. I can see you just now, it seems like it's already a miracle!" Said.
"Don't. Don't say that. Anything but that!" ("Because it's the same as me!") that sentence, is my first sentence!
"Hey, Ren! Even if I have to go now, I'm fine." Whahuh? No kidding!!
"Aahaha! You wanna go? Comeing! You forgot your promise? Let's go to the crepes shop! We'll eat together, and you'll eat that fat! Then let's go!" That conversation, I remember!
"Hu hu, that's also if the store is still there, right?" She laughs.
"Ah yes! You know, in Furyuun town there's also a crepes shop! I was traveling with Suzu, and she wanted it. I don't eat it so I can feel the taste when I'm with you! Comeon! I want to eat crepes! L'm... I.." Tears really interfered with my conversation.
He smiled, looking in a faraway direction. Like looking around in his wishful thinking.
"Khu Khu Khu. It was your fault for not buying it!" said kidding.
"More. Know it? I'm happy! I've always dreamed of having a savior prince, who is very powerful, but he's not arrogant, and helps everything."
"I've also dreamed of being with you, getting married, even having children. Spend time together, until old. Wellhh, although I am an elf, and can live longer, but I know my limits. I'm not gonna do anything like that."
Stopit! Stopit! Don't talk!
"Did you remember what I said first? I like you, Ren. From the past, and will continue to grow."
"And you know?" He pulled my body, making it go up. I also helped him to carry his body.
"I'm right, love you, Ren!" She kissed me, took my lips to meet her lips.
That was my first kiss. All this time, in both of my lives. Syila, be the first.
But I don't know, the first kiss I had felt like blood in my mouth.
"I am now, feeling very happy!" He said he smiled and closed his eyes. His head he leaned against my chest, his body also fell slowly.
Syila kept silent, but her smiling face kept remaining. A smile that calms me.
"Jila?!" I don't know what else to do.
"Jila?!!" my heart rate is getting faster. My eyes are getting darker too.
"SHILAAAA?!!!" something broke in me, and I don't know what's right here.
***
"Jila!!!" I'm still here, after a few minutes. I'm still trying to wake her up.
"Oi, Syila!! Already dress you! Let's find another one! If you keep pretending to sleep, we won't be able to find another one!" he kept his eyes closed. Hufft, from a long time ago, he loved to joke!
[Sanctuary] mine is running out! I need to immediately find a person who has great light magic to create another [Sanctuary]!
But, why should I make [Sanctuary] I don't remember why I made it.
"Ah right. I have to ask for help, Edna! He can cure Syila! Wait a minute, Syila. Let's go find Edna!" I have to find Edna's sister!
Everyone must be waiting for me and saying: get to you! Like that, right? I'll wait for everyone to come out! They just play with me! It's not like the city of Eldergale was attacked!
Everyone is just kidding, right?
