Those of us who entered the building continued to run like dogs.
Not because it was pursued, but we just felt we should do this as soon as possible.
I told them all around me that Doni's fight with Ryan wasn't over. Even though his body was cut into pieces, Doni would continue to get up and swing his axe again and again.
"Ah... Ah... Uh..." The sound of exhaustion made the corridor of the room buzz and resounded loudly.
"What's going on here? Why don't I find anyone?" Erika felt an awkwardness in this building.
It was a normal reaction for me, she didn't know how crazy she was about doing things. Even what is happening now is not the craziest part I have ever seen.
"This is how my grandmother played... It's certain that he's really waiting for me right now" I explained.
"So, this empty building why exactly?" Stevent asked not to know.
"This building will be-" When I want to explain it in more detail, Sophia immediately cuts and continues what I want to say.
"the area of the fight" he said in a calm tone.
I just nodded to justify his words.
They both put on confused faces after listening to the statement earlier. They still didn't seem to understand with the intent of that 'fighting arena. Especially Stevent, he was the last to understand that statement.
On the other hand, Erika who had put on a confused face immediately turned serious and nodded in understanding with what Sophia said.
"So that means, this place will be torn apart to melt into ruins, right?" Erika asked while clarifying her idea.
"hmm(nodles)..." Hastily answered.
Stevent widened his eyes shortly after hearing his teacher's explanation. He seemed to be struck by a bolt of electricity that instantly woke him up.
"So we have to prepare for the worst?" Ask the child slowly and hide his nervousness.
"I told you, didn't I? In front of us is something terrible from what all of you have ever thought.... Something that exceeds all our common sense... We're going to face the Prince (God) of the False Nova."
I realized the nervousness of the boy. If he continues to be here without being able to overcome his nervousness, then instead of being a help he becomes a burden.
I don't want that to happen.
"Stevent, if you're still nervous. You'd better back off" I said with a sneer.
If I hadn't gotten a bite out of him, he might have ended up nervous all the time. I used this to turn her nervous self into a stubborn one.
Though it sounds bad, being stubborn is better than being hesitant or nervous at a crucial moment like this.
"Who is nervous?!"
"You, Stevent... If you keep this up then you'll just be a burden." Sophia immediately represented what I was thinking, even though I didn't expect her to say it bluntly.
"Hey, you know what?! I am gathering information about my opponent, not fear! That's why I asked about that grandma!"
"But the previous question was like saying you were scared." Sophia put on a flat face adorned with annoying smile curves.
I haven't seen Sophia happy in a long time.
When was the last time I saw him smile? I don't think he'll smile like that again after that.
But still, this smile will disappear again.
At any rate this time was where all the bad things would happen, and once again perhaps he would see death again.

*No! *No! *No!
The sound of our feet pounding continued to be heard throughout the hallway of the building.
As expected, there was no one in this building. Inside it was empty without occupants, as it was deliberately left behind.
It's because Nova cares about them or vice versa. There's a second possibility, but I'd better not assume that's actually the case.
I hope it's just my wild mind.
The sound of our feet stopping when we reached a room of light. The sound of gasping breaths and sweat drenching our bodies became the room's exclusive welcome. It was at the very end and the highest point of the building.
If my memory is correct, this place is where I trained many things before becoming a murderer. The all-white room was supposed to be filled with sophisticated medical tools and machines.
But everything I see is different. There's not everything I've ever remembered here. It was as if this room had completely turned into a landfill.
A machine like a white dome big enough to make the room crowded. There are about 7 holes that can be entered by a human adult body at the bottom of the dome.
I thought as I looked around me closely.
The part of the hole under the dome made me think. What's that hole made?
"Is this a garbage dump?" Stevent weaved through those holes in disgust.
"Gyeahhh! It smells so bad!" Erika reflexively closes her nose.
"In addition, I felt a chill in it." Sophia noticed the smoke coming out of the hole.
"Are we in the wrong room?!" (Erican)
They all looked at me with disappointed eyes.
I'm a little bit of a dumb grin to cover that up.
Because, even though it doesn't feel like there's anyone here, I'm familiar with Nova's nature and already know how and where it will appear.
"I'm sure she's here, because as I passed her room I didn't see her existence."
The only place that became the strongest point of magic was just this place.
I doubt this moment, but when my senses say that it's here. I can only say it.
"So~? Where is he-I mean 'he' now?!" Erika raised her hand over questioningly and did not expect from me.
He tried to say something politely, but because he remembered his opponent was not human to him. So he tried not to include any sense of courtesy at all, even he actually you called it by a rude nickname.
"We better wait... Mr. Rashid rarely does anything wrong."
Somehow Sophia's words sounded insulting despite her intention to try to help me.
"Eh-Rarely does not mean not per-" Stevent tried to reply to the idea, but he stopped immediately.
He became silent and squeezed like a robot whose battery was removed while it was still on. The light in his glasses-free eyes dimmed and closed slightly.
"Stevent?" Erika tried to call the boy.
But there's no answer.
*Shelf!
Everyone there was shocked and immediately checked his body.
"Damn, his body..there is no pulse at all!" Erika Panic.
On the other hand, I not only felt shocked but scared and a little panicked. My entire nerves stiffened, my sweat that had been pouring out became more and more intense, my eyes moved to and fro.
"He's coming!"
Erika and Sophia who checked Stevent's body immediately turned to me by putting on a surprised face.
Their faces were stiff like statues, and were squeezing.
What happened to him will happen to both of them.
Just after that, Erika and Sophia fell down by overlapping Stevent's body.
Now I live one.
Did he intentionally leave me alone?
I never thought the three of them would die so soon.
......................
*Out!
The dome immediately exploded and scattered all the items including the bodies of my three friends to scatter everywhere. The dome was emitting steam that continued to gush from inside there.
Inside the smoldering steam, there was a silhouette of a woman with long, white hair floating in it.
The woman looked at me like she had been waiting for me since.
"You've been coming, Rashid!" The woman greeted me with a crazy smile.
Of his stature, and of my senses... I realize one thing. The woman who looked to be in her 30s was the one we had been looking for. She is Nova Sena.
It seems like the Prince's Project is making him young again, albeit not too young.
