Hellbents
Chapter 181: Foreign Being
After her consciousness was drowned out by the glitching sensation that seemed to tear her body apart, Ava fully expected to be greeted by an empty black area inhabited only by her dopplegangger as usual. But what he saw was the opposite. Classic paintings are beautifully displayed on the ceiling that even Ava has difficulty seeing so high, giant marble pillars supporting the colossal room.
Of course, the most striking is the presence of a stranger, man or woman Ava does not know because her face has androgynousness, her body is as big as a titan. Only then did Ava realize that proportioning the room with the titan was very reasonable, he was too small.
"So you caused the error." The titan's voice echoed on the slippery, flat-pitched, bored marble floor.
... Who her?
The monster?
Observation skill- "Agh!" Both of Ava's eyeballs throbbed painfully, her head being instantly attacked by a dizzy spell that made her stagger. The fingers covering his face were wet. Tears? Or blood? Ava still doesn't know, her eyelids are too heavy to open.
"Don't try, my son. Your behavior is very disrespectful" the titan warned. Indeed, his intonation was still flat, but at least a speck of emotion was detected from his sentence.
"Well, how did you get there?"
It took him a few seconds of effort just to open his eyes, Ava's gaze was still blurry, but at least he could already see the silhouette and color. The girl still does not know who the titan in front of her, but clearly Ava can not mess around. Trying to peek at the status of the window alone made Ava's eyeballs want to explode, so for now she replied calmly. "Gate suddenly opens above head-"
"No, that's not what I meant." Ava's answer was cut short by impatience that settled in an increasingly sharp voice. "Your number of existence comes from another dimension, a dimension that is not yet timed to sense the presence of the [System]. But how can you be here? In a dimension that's almost out of time?"
... So he knows.
From the first impression Ava had got a hunch that the titan in front of him was not a person, errat, an arbitrary creature. Other than the towering huge body that made Ava feel like an ant, her behavior was no less burdensome. During this time it was only Adam, a ghost who had the ability to distinguish the "soul scent". But the titan knows far more about what happened, even the fact that Ava did not expect.
Existence number?
Dimension that expires? ... That is, the apocalypse?
Maybe he knows how to get Ava home? Or at least how to wear the mystic artifact given by Eve? Her unexpected hope caused Ava to answer impulsively, "I was kidnapped!"
"Hooked?"
"By someone who looks like my face."
"... Forward."
"I thought I could go home using a set of items called Genesis."
Unfortunately, Ava's enthusiasm did not go both ways.
The girl's vision had returned to normal. He also looked at the tense serious face that was as big as a house. Late to realize that the temperature in the room fell several numbers, cold.
... Is he leaking information he shouldn't?
Huh huh? Didn't she hear Ava saying she was kidnapped?
"I'm not the-"
"The punishment for a mortal like you will be severe!"
"But I-"
"God! Did you steal the Genesis set?!"
"Hey, listen-"
"I need to call the others immediately!"
Ava wasn't even given a chance to defend herself. The titan left with a step that felt like a small earthquake to the girl. "Hey! Oi! Listen up!"
Free.
Ava's stomach felt heavy and twisted, her spine was frozen.
He got a bad feeling. Really bad.
Ava has to run away.
But how?
As far as the eye could see, he did not see the exit.
Ding!
Eror is no longer detected, the game will be resumed
The brief notification that pulled Ava back into the gate, in the arms of Ellijah who looked at her with empty eyes.
As she moved, she realized that her dress was wet with blood.
Ava forgot. Right, glitching.
Whatever Ellijah saw, it must have traumatized the man to the point of not being able to speak when Ava waved her hand.
