Ilya stood straight with a flat look. By the time he reached the location, the building that should have been there had already fused with the land—but strangely the condition of the surrounding area seemed fine, he said, only his house and yard were destroyed as if there was a barrier protecting the forest area so that the explosion did not have an impact until there.
"Ve, you go first." Ilya gave the order to Ve to immediately disappear and return into his shadow. Every familiar possessed by Hunter taming can appear and disappear according to the wishes of the master.
However Ve looked at Ilya worriedly, it was because of Ilya's seemingly blank expression as if he was ready to destroy anything in front of him.
"Are you sure?" Usually he is not like Pupu who asks hobby, but at this time he is out of his habit.
"Go"
"But tuan—"
"Ve. I don't like to repeat my orders."
Ve immediately goosebumps as soon as he saw the face of Ilya who was looking at him coldly. It had been a long time, it felt like that cold and cruel gaze he only saw when Ilya was in the dungeon back then—tak he thought Ilya would have such an expression again now.
"B—baik. I'm sorry, Mr. Ilya."
After saying that Ve immediately left. Leaving Ilya alone there.
["This is someone's work"]
Noe, who had been missing all of a sudden appeared again. He told Ilya that someone had minimized the explosion so that the effect did not destroy the wider area.
"Where have you been? I've had a hard time finding disaster candidates lately because you're the one who disappeared all of a sudden."
Ilya said as he walked closer to the ruins of the destroyed house. He removed some of the concrete with his bare hands, looking for someone he hoped would not be crushed among the rubble.
["There are things I have to take care of. Let's say my system is experiencing an error"]
"Huh. I've guessed, you're an evil system that can't do its job properly. I'd rather feel like you're not very useful." Ilya sneered at him sarcasm. Actually he's fed up with Noe.
["I disappeared also for your sake, Ilya Sigma"]
Noe replied firmly but Ilya did not believe his words.
"For my sake? Don't say such a ridiculous, disgusting thing."
His hands clenched tightly then punched the wall blocking him. The wall was instantly smashed into dust, there he found nothing.
A body, or at least a body piece is okay. Ilya wanted to know whether Do Hwa was really dead or not. But seeing the condition of his house that was destroyed like this, his brain could not think positively and it made his heart feel sick.
"Because you didn't say any warning to me, I lost track of the next disaster candidate. My best friend passed away today, and I couldn't do anything to help her"
There is no air of the existence of someone there, the house is far from the settlement because it was built at the end of the city, lucky, so there were no casualties there—but, there were no casualties, Ilya thought he had let Do Hwa die.
"You're trying to help me, no? I just want to finish the mission of the dimensional guard so that my family can live without problems such as the rampage of disaster candidates, so I work hard to tame those disaster candidates"
Ilya spewed out all the things she had complained about since coming out of that dungeon. Complicated infuriating missions, rules from Noe even now enemies are beginning to emerge.
"But you always disappear when needed, ignoring your duties as a system that helps me and does whatever you want."
Ilya's hand clenched firmly, unconsciously wounding herself while talking to Noe.
Noe felt it. The pain Ilya had, regrets and useless feelings. He knows, but he has no other choice.
["I said right. The reason I disappeared is your other strength,"]
His words sounded ridiculous in Ilya's ears.
"Power? What powers?" Ilya returned to sneer. Is Noe talking nonsense now? If it's not funny.
["You know. Humans always have two forces within them, negative and positive. As long as you're in the dungeon, I know your soul is not normal anymore because you haven't talked to another human in a very long time. That's why your negative power is gathered"] Ilya silently listened as Noe resumed his words.
["You remember the status of the windows you saw back then? There's a "half-crazy man" in there"]
The hazel-eyed man scrunched his forehead.
"But I'm normal" he said briefly. Noe grunted rudely.
["That's because I am the reservoir of all your negative forces so that now you can still live a normal, non-crazy life"]
"You lied, right?"
"But why? Is it because I won't be able to bear that burden? Am I not strong?"
["No, Ilya. It's a different thing. I must be part of your madness because I'm locked up in that dungeon. It's a punishment for me, before I can get away from you"]
Ilya did not understand the meaning of Noe's words. Before he wanted to ask again, he sensed the existence of Gauri approaching him.
"Sister!—"
Gauri walked quickly to Ilya. As her foot stepped on the twig, Ilya knew there was another bomb hidden buried in the ground.
"ARI!—"
Booms!
The explosion happened again just after Gauri stepped on the ground with a bomb buried inside. As soon as Ilya ran, she was not affected by the effects of the explosion because of the protective she had.
"ARI! ARI!! ARI ANSWER ME!!"
Panicked shouting. He didn't want to lose anyone again today.
His heart was racing madly as if the organ was going to come out of place, the dust flying making Ilya's visibility a bit limited but his face was immediately relieved when he saw Gauri who was behind Daniel.
"Sister, I'm fine"
The short words managed to calm him down. Ilya immediately hugged Gauri's body, so tightly that her sister could feel her brother's irregular heartbeat due to the panic feeling of fear of losing him.
"Don't die Ari. I might really go crazy if you leave me alone in this world"
He didn't say a lie. Ilya's hands trembled as she hugged her sister, only Gauri family Ilya has—for she thought family was everything, Gauri's death would make her despair.
"I'm strong. Take it easy, brother, you also have to live long"
Gauri knew very well the feelings of Ilya who did not want to lose him, because she felt that too.
"I don't feel good disturbing this atmosphere of haru, but, there's a voice recorder item for you that appeared after the explosion"
Daniel refutes the Sigma brothers' words and gives a small item bearing the name Ilya that can record sound, it's a regular item and is always used by some people.
Ilya let go of her embrace and then received the item. He did not immediately play the recording, Ilya researched first whether the object was dangerous or not.
["There's nothing there. You can use it"]
Noe commented and became useful. He might feel guilty for leaving Ilya for a few days, and now he wants to make up for it by being the system that helped Ilya as he was.
"I'm gonna push this button"
Gauri and Daniel nodded simultaneously.
["Darling! Did you hear my voice? Master said this will be sent to you, Ilya. So, somehow I feel excited to record it"]
"S—sayang?"
This is Daniel who is somewhat confused because of the first words heard from the tool. He looked at Ilya with a surprised look, whereas Gauri was silent like a mute.
Hyun. There was only one person who called Ilya affectionately, and the sound of the recording was confirmed to be hers.
Ilya carefully glanced at Gauri. His sister had a dark aura around her. Is sister hiding a secret boyfriend? It was a question that was imprinted clearly in Gauri's current expression.
Ilya should explain it to Gauri later.
["Master says I can do whatever I want, but if I fail then I will die. Know it? An SS-rank Dungeon appeared in this country and now I'm inside its dungeon!"]
"ss Rank? isn't that crazy?"
Daniel said briefly with a face of disbelief. The highest rank dungeon for five years was only S rank, it was very rare and now SS rank dungeon appeared in their country.
of course, other countries also want to see the dungeon.
["Sigma Sigma. Come fight me, this is a challenge for you. Come here in thirty minutes."]
["I'm your enemy now."]
