"Alin–!"
Alin was suddenly unconscious. His body slowly drooped limp in Luke's grasp. The pain in his neck was violent, it hurt a lot, it felt like being stabbed by something but no one could see it.
As quickly as possible Luke caught Alin's body before falling to the floor, then he laid Alin in the laboratory near them.
They were really surprised to see Alin who had suddenly fainted and was unconscious again, they were confused... What's going on with Alin now?
Alin's face turned pale again, he was sweating coldly. At first glance Luke can see the black grip on Alin's neck. But when his eyes blinked.... The scar disappeared.
"What was just ....?" Luke muttered very slowly.
Luke held his own eel, confused by what he had just seen.
Kael and Gion are also trying to understand the situation here, what happened to Alin? Then suddenly they felt great goosebumps on the nape of the neck.
Likewise Luke, his hair goosebumps accompanied by a great sense of anxiety, for whatever reason. Not realizing that Luke's blue bead had suddenly turned blood red.
There was something wrong, even 'something' that was sitting inside Luke's body until it felt that fear..
What kind of fear is this? What made the three of them so creepy....
"Luke.. You feel it too, right?"
Kael asked while looking over and looking at Lukas. But in an instant the blood red bead had returned to a light blue color without Kael seeing it.
Luke simply remained silent without answering, then suddenly he stood up from his place and walked out of the palace laboratory without a word. His feelings were not out of order, incomprehensible, there was only fear and uneasiness... Something's not right.
"Luke! Where's where?!" Shouted Gion as his younger brother, Luke, who was walking without that direction got further and further away from them.
.
.

Luke ran, he didn't know where his feet were. But his feet kept running to a place that even Luke himself did not know where his footsteps would take him away.
Like someone guiding his steps. Luke's red bead glowed, those blood-red eyes as if they knew who made the atmosphere around here so cold and horrible.
"AAAAGHHHH–!!!! YOU DEVIL!! DON'T TRY TO THREATEN ME–........"
The sound of screaming rang out from a distance, Luke recognized this voice... But the situation came to a silence. The sound of sword slashes rang out at a glance, completely out of order. Lukas runs back, but this time he finds the purpose of his steps, to the origin of the sound.
Luke's steps stopped after a while of running, he stared at the figure of the long black-haired young man braided, with blue and violet heterochromia eye beads. In front of the man was a man in a shirt that looked familiar.
"Remiss!" Shouted Luke.
His body lay weak by draining fresh blood from his torn stomach. The fresh blood soiled the ground with its dense color. Like a sword there, but Henil held the sword himself...
Did he kill himself? That's impossible, he can't kill himself! This must be this mysterious young man!
"You who?" Asked Luke with a piercing look.
His red eyes turned back to blue. Luke stared intently at the young man with the eyes of Heterochromia.
The man only smiled meaningfully as their eyes met, a smile incomprehensible to the human mindset. Such an alluring smile.
"It turns out you're Yohan Jovial's student?"
Lukas was silent again, but then his heart skipped a beat... How did this man know he was Yohan Jovial's student?
A God of Destruction who is not of this world. Is this young man from the same world as Yohan?
"Jawab my question! You who?! Why did you kill Henil?!" Snap Luke pointed the sharp tip of his sword at the man. Her blue iris stared coldly at the Heterochromia-eyed man before her.
The young man simply smiled, raising his hand as if he had already declared that he was giving up on Luke's hand.
"All right, angry sir... Don't put that sword in my body.."
Luke looked coldly at the man. Then came the sound of footsteps of some grumpy people running hastily towards him from behind. Luke slightly glanced towards those people who sounded panting at His side.
"Prince! Huhhhh..." The two bodyguards sighed heavily at Luke's side after exhaustion of running.
"Prince! What are you doing here? We were ordered to follow and-
Suddenly the two guards froze in place. A second later their hearts raced to see Henil, the head of their army lying lifeless on the ground covered with blood.
"Master! Mr Henil! Monsieur!" The screams of those who immediately ran and knelt smothered the lying body of Henil.
Of course they reflexively used healing magic on Henil. But it was too late, there was no hope. The two bodyguards looked at Luke with worried and sad faces, but Lukas only returned them with his cold and indifferent gaze.
"Prince..Mr. Henil..." Said one of the bodyguards with a trembling hoarse voice.
"Bring Henil and 'this man'."
Luke's emotional reaction was flat when he saw someone he knew dead in front of him. But that's what Luke is like now. He turned and walked ahead of them. Instantly a magic handcuff appeared and locked the mysterious man's hand.
Finally he ordered his bodyguards to take the man into the tent for interrogation.
.
.
.
"Who exactly is this mysterious man?"
Luke sat in front of the man, in a tent covered with minimal lighting making the atmosphere gripping. There was only one table and two chairs and a small candle on one side of the table accompanied them.
"My name is Neverth Dominique Agrey." Said the blue and violet-eyed Heterochromia man with a calm expression.
The Dominique and Agrey sections are still reasonable... Neverth though? Luke had only heard such a name for the first time.
Luke's blue eyes try to observe Nev from toe to toe, and Luke is foolishly misfocused on Nev's dress.
Ruffle collared white shirt, still normal, but the disturbing is... Why did Nev let his chest look? Where is really stocky again it's the chest, soft times yes if held..
"This guy doesn't catch a cold what? Openness is aurat oi.. Show off that chest, good luck." Luke's mind then tried to stare back at Nev, but the man instead covered his chest with both hands, acting like the woman at the peek.
"Aaw~ are you looking at my chest? You are not polite..." Nev spoke while smiling mischievously and slightly seductively, making Luke even more upset and eventually hot.
"Brain the devil! you're the one who doesn't make clothes!"
"Well, don't look at my chest, too, so perverted.."
"Well you think, who doesn't try salfok? Situ Show off the chest,"
"Judah don't look."
This debate brings Luke's emotions to a head and eventually, Nev gets three hard slaps in his face, left right anyway.
Nev then held his left cheek that felt more pain than his right cheek, Luke hit him with deep strength, fortunately Nev's soul did not come out in each blow.
"Jawab seriously, who are you really? Why do you know I'm Yohan's student? And what did you do to Henil?"
Luke stared intently at Nev, the man then let out a long sigh before replying.
"I didn't do anything to that bodyguard, he was the one who was crazy? Call it I'm just someone who's joined and is looking for fun~"

BRAKKS
Hearing Nev's words, Luke went up in black. Nev's handcuffed to the table by magic, was suddenly stabbed quickly by Luke's sharp dagger. Very quickly, even his movements were barely noticed by the eyes.
"Ounches..!"
Nev's two hands on the table were pierced by Luke's dagger, stuck so deep it went through the table. It's really deep, fresh blood splashing and rushing on the table there.
The blood splashed slightly against a small candle on the table, soiling the surface of the table and the sleeves of Nev's white shirt. But strangely, Nev's expression did not show the slightest surprise, only a little grimacing and then calm again.
For a few seconds, Lukas slightly misfocused with the response from Nev. Because what he did to Nev wasn't mediocre, his hands were being pierced, bleeding, wounded, to dangerous people even if it was an acaman. But unlike Nev, the response was pretty flat.
Luke's gaze was cold, piercing straight into Nev's soul. Eyes filled with anger, hate and annoyance.
Luke wouldn't hesitate to kill Nev, if the Heterochromia-eyed man was getting brazen. He would not hesitate to reveal his sword from the scabbard and stab it into Nev's throat to stop for pleasantries.
"Hufts... Come onl.. My clothes are so dirty with blood."
Nev let out a long sigh looking at Luke who seemed ready to stab Nev's soul with his gaze. But Nev seemed more worried about his shirt arm than his two hands, now covered in blood, and deeply stuck on the table.
Completely insane, he was even more concerned with the condition of his clothes than himself? Is he a psychopath?
Yup, Nev is no ordinary person, you could say he's a crazy psychopath who has no conscience. THE PURE EVIL'S.
"My arm got dirty with blood.. You're really grumpy, aren't you?"
Nev's expression was completely calm, making Luke even more angry and irritated at him. Because Nev didn't want to add to the problem, he stayed silent for a moment and let out a long sigh.
"You are the one who should be more careful. We're almost late, you do have a low level of sensitivity. You let your bodyguard live free? You idiot..!" Decak Nev with a cynical tone of voice.
Suddenly the atmosphere around became gripping, Luke's body as if pierced by thousands of needles through Nev's very sharp gaze. This intimidating aura was too piercing, Nev's gaze was like a sharp rose thorn, like a blade ready to pierce without cues from all directions. The gaze that retorted pierced into Luke's soul.
But when Lukas blinked once, Nev was still as calm as before. Whatisthis? Is this just a hallucination?
"Why.. Why do you think so? What's your connection to all this?"
Luke asked again in a stern tone, staring resentfully and disgustedly at Nev. Trying to keep the fear of being intimidated away from Nev he just saw.
"Huh... You are just a character in a book. So it's easy to guess the whole situation here. The future? A past? Or the one now?" Nev snorts cynically with his haughty tone, making Luke grow furious and want to cut off Nev's tongue and chop it off.
Luke has only come to the conclusion that this man is more dangerous than he thought. Then Luke remembered something...
His teacher, Johan Jovial, once told him to be careful with someone. But Yohan called someone that 'The Reader'
.
.
*Flashback*
"Who is that, om?"
"The man had long since died, yet there was a high chance that he would continue to return... As if he wouldn't be able to die before he saw an 'Ending'... We call it 'The Reader'.."
"Uhm...The Reader's? Is he just a reader? What's so great about him?"
"Indeed sounds trivial, but actually, he is the main key to the problem. You, don't fall into his plan. Once inside, it is possible to get out. He was a man with a million faces and had a tongue so sharp as to manipulate..."
.
.
That person, what does that mean is Nev? So is it true that this person and Yohan are from the same world?
Luke must be careful.
"Have finished daydreaming? Let's make a deal...."
Nev suddenly spoke, breaking Luke's daydream with his still calm voice without showing the slightest expression of pain. Luke is silent, but he is actually listening and seems a little interested in what Nev has to offer.
"You let me go, and I'll help you.."
With just that sentence, Luke's blue eyes opened wide. Did he just say he was gonna help her? No, Luke can't believe Nev.
"Omong empty...! You think I'll accept your offer?"
Luke stared at Nev so coldly, making Nev again and again sigh long before blurting out his words.
Maybe Nev will start talking again, and try to manipulate Luke at all costs... But Luke won't be fooled–
"Oh, yasudah."
".....What's?" Luke's shriek was slightly stunned with a soft voice.
"in-he just gave up? Is he really the one Yohan told me about?" Luke nodded with a feeling of surprise.
How could Nev just give up? Doesn't he want to negotiate? Or maybe to beg Luke? Or force him to agree?
"Yes...? What do you mean yasudah?"
"Huh? Yasudah, if you do not want to be helped yasudah is okay.but please take off this dagger dong, I am anemic euy.." Nev spoke as his eyes glanced at the dagger that was still stuck in both hands on the table.
His blood still flowed with plenty there. Luke bit his subordinate's lips, instantly immersed in a daydream.
What's he supposed to do? Nev's offer looks tantalizing... However, he shouldn't trust Nev.
"You... Do you really know how to help us?"
Luke asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice, trying to ascertain if what Nev said was true or just nonsense?
"Just ask if I don't know.. I might make an offer like that. If you don't believe."
A moment when Nev was silent, he turned his head and stared at the open part of the tent. He looked at the dark sky as if it was gripping with its orange and red color, a calm expression, a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
"Ah, proof, I know you won't try to kill me for the next 6 hours. Then, your moon lake will be split in two soon..." Nev grinned at Lukas who seemed frustrated with himself.
"What do you mean?!"
JDARRR
A huge lightning streaked swiftly across the sky that looked overcast with its unnatural color. From a distance, they could hear the sound of calm water like being hit hard and there was also the sound of the screams of guards running towards the tent.
Lukas was stunned, he stared at the open part of the tent. His eyes looked up to see what was happening now.
"Prince! The moon lake is split!" Shouted one of the guards outside the tent.
"God! Help u! For gods sake! What's this?!"
In an instant the atmosphere became boisterous outside, shouting after shouting of bodyguards and soldiers as if approaching to the tent. But they remained inside, silent in a gripping situation.
"Devil... visiting." Nev murmured while closing his eyes calmly.
Damnit damnit! The words and evidences of Nev managed to make Lukas worried. Is Nev really trustworthy?
All the questions came to Luke's brain, all from A-Z. He tried to think of various possibilities and what would happen in the future if he agreed to it.
Dubiousness...
vacillation...
Is this worth it..?
"I know I'm a stranger, you must be suspicious of me right now....But trust me, I do know how to handle your situation.."
Her blue Heterochromia bead was as if it was shiny as her eyes opened. Such a thin smile was intimidating, forcing anyone who looked at her to be sure.
Unexpectedly Nev suddenly pulled out both of his hands, making some parts of his palm split apart due to the dagger stuck in... Blood was splattered and flowing everywhere else. Even littering the ground, the table and the white Nev shirt again, more.
Lukas was shocked to see it. Looking at the flesh that was dangling after it was split open with its blood that was drenched everywhere.
But Nev. still looks calm and has fun like a kid... "Oiy... It's so funny, too.."
For a man nicknamed 'The Reader', Nev certainly knows everything...
While Nev was still busy playing his dangling flesh and split into four, Luke fell silent. He briefly drowned himself in a daydream while staring at the small puddle of blood that was on the ground.
"Should it?"
The fleeting blue eyes look shiny. In a moment also next to his bead his eyes were faintly visible almost turning red. But when Lukas lifted his head and looked at Nev, it disappeared.
"Alright.I accept your offer."
Luke looked at Nev half-confidently and half-doubtfully. Hearing that, Nev then smiled meaningfully, but made it also as if smiling gently.
"Well then~ is glad to be working with you."
Luke has entered into all of Nev's plans. Even if Luke refuses, he has already entered into all of Nev's plans.
All this was neatly arranged by Nev.
–TO BE CONTINUED–
Bonus:
Nev: Btw, do you have healing magic? Heal dong..My hands are split (my clothes are also dirty...
Luke: So Jan's hand was pulled:> bleber all his blood.
