New World
Execution of Toni's Plan

"Are you sure we're just gonna go alone?" Red Ascend seemed to doubt Toni's decision to only bring herself to go check on the Dungeon that had suddenly appeared. But according to him, the place they will go is certainly a place filled with danger.

Toni smiled softly at Red Ascend, trying to be reasonable so that his plan was not revealed before it started. "We'll just check it out first. It'll be very striking later if we go in one big group." Tony tried to make excuses.

"But you can send someone else. You don't have to go alone." Red Ascend remained adamant, if the plan that Toni will run is classified as reckless. They still did not know what danger they would face later. If Toni and himself were to die before the attack, it would greatly reduce the strength of Toni's battalion.

"That's it... Trust me..." Tony doesn't want to argue too long. In any case, if he were to argue with the Red Ascend he would never be able to win.

"Well... Okay..." Red Ascend can only obey Toni's will. However, Toni is the captain of his battalion, which determines the best plan for the success of the mission.

"So dong... That's My Sweet Heart." Toni rubbed the head of Red Ascend. Making the red hair that the girl has a little messy.

"Uhm..." Red Ascend's bubbly cheeks made Red Ascend's face even more cute.

After exiting the Capital of the Demon God Kingdom, Toni instantly took out mana from within his body. A brownish aura also shot out from within his body.

"Earth Surf!"

A lump of land enough for two people to climb directly poked from the ground, Toni and Red Ascend also rose above it. And with the flow of mana from Toni's feet, move the chunk of land in the direction that Toni wants.

"Hands on... We're a little time-hunted." Toni warns her lover. Without being told twice, Red Ascend immediately wrapped his hands around Toni's waist. Keeping himself from falling from the dirt slide that Toni made.

Like a couple on an excursion, Toni and Red Ascend explore a forest full of trees. The forest, which was supposed to be full of monsters, is now like a garden behind the house for the two lovebirds. All thanks to the Joker. Toni can avoid areas that are fraught with danger, and can take the fastest way to her destination.

An hour up the ground skateboard, Toni and Red Ascend reached one lip of the cave. The mouth of the cave is not wide, just enough for one person to enter. The inside of the cave appears so dark that the naked eye may not function normally inside.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Red Ascend was a little afraid to enter the cave before him. The entrance to the cave is so small. If there was a great danger waiting, it would certainly be very difficult for the two of them to escape.

"I'm sure this is the place." Toni began to step foot into the cave. He had visited the cave before him, and made sure that no danger would await him.

"Well... Okay..." Red Ascend can only follow Toni, however, only Toni is told by Poska about the location they should go to.

"Fire Light!"

Red Ascend took out a little mana to make light inside the dark cave. Making the hard cave rocks can be seen by the eyes.

Twenty minutes alone Toni and Red Ascend pierce the cave. Red Ascend has repeatedly asked Toni to return. He was really scared in the cave, considering the small access in and out that they had to pass.

Wush...

A strong wind blew from inside the cave. Making the fireball that became the lighting they both instantly extinguished. Darkness immediately enveloped the two of them.

"God..." Red Ascend was certainly surprised by the extinguishing of the fire he made suddenly arrived. What he was truly afraid of had happened.

"If you're afraid just close your eyes. I'll hold your hand." Toni acts like a hero in a fantasy story. By holding the hand of Red Ascend, he again invites Red Ascend to go to his destination.

"May..." Toni's voice was so soft. Toni had released her hand from the Red Ascend's. Toni is now posing like a knight who adores her lover. With a ring in his right hand, Toni is ready to execute his plan.

"Open your eyes..."

May opened her eyes. Slowly, he ventured to open his eyes.

Wuing...

Glare... That was how he felt when he first opened his eyes inside the cave. Light green, blue, yellow, red combined into a unity that forms a beauty in the cave.

"Earth Blast!"

Toni poured her mana all over the cave walls. The colorful rocks that adorn the walls of the cave walls immediately broke by themselves. Break into small, colorful pieces of crystalline flakes. Making a crystal rain that is so beautiful to the eye.

"I know it's too soon... But this will be proof of my seriousness to you."

"In this cave, with the grains of crystals that became the witness." Toni pauses her words, preparing to say her intentions and goals.

"May... Do you want to stay forever beside me? Make me the first you see when you wake up in the morning? Would you marry me?" Toni's hand shook slightly, indicating it needed to be mentally strong to say her words just now.

"It's..." The Red Ascend tear collapsed on its own. He really did not expect if Toni prepared something like this for himself.

Red Ascend was really touched by what Toni did. " Sorry Ton... But I'm..."

"Take a look later... I'll get back to him when I get to town."

I can't avoid it anymore, I've already. All I can do is obey his words. I was too afraid of the thing called darkness.

Slowly I had to follow Toni's footsteps, the slippery and hard floor of the cave forcing myself to be extra careful. I wonder how Toni can walk like a normal person in a dark cave like this.

The wind that was blowing hard was no longer felt. Now the sensation of cold air that so pierced the skin hit my body. If it wasn't for me being a fire elementalist, maybe I'd be cold here. But I still dare not open my eyes. I'm sure the place I'm in right now is still dark. I'd rather close my eyes than open my eyes and only the darkness I see. Isn't that all the same?

"Have we arrived?" I asked Toni, who had let go of her hand. I wanted to hit him on the head, because it was as easy as heart to let go of a girl's hand in a place so dark as this.

"May..." Toni's voice I heard was so subtle, a spoiled voice that I rarely heard coming out of Toni's mouth.

"Open your eyes..."

I also ventured to open my eyes. Toni knows so much about me who's so afraid of the dark. And I believe in Toni, if Toni won't make me feel the fear.

"It's..." I was caught up in what I saw. Colorful crystals that each gave off a light decorated the entire cave. The colorful light bounced back and forth, making the cave walls that should have been dark, now look so impressive.

Duars...

My eyes couldn't believe what I saw. As if what I saw was just a lie. The crystals, which once adorned every wall and floor of the cave, are now broken into tiny fragments. Making the cave I live in is no longer a creepy cave.

I was like a fairy, playing in the rain of colorful crystals. My tears did not drain on their own. I never thought I'd be treated so special by my only lover.

The shock I received did not stop there. Unexpectedly, Toni said a word that all women dream of.

"Will you marry me?"

A simple question yet so difficult to answer. I didn't expect at all. Toni... A boy of nobility, would propose to me who was just a son of a dojo owner.

For all women, it is a dream. Yet for me? Of course I want to reply with a word "YES" or just a nod of the head is enough.

But there is so much to consider.

Who me?

Do I deserve all this?

I also know my limits. I'm just the son of the owner of a dojo. I wouldn't deserve to be with Toni properly. I wasn't ready to meet and be introduced to Toni's family about who I was.

Who her? Why did you choose a woman like her? Can't you choose a woman?

I'm not ready to hear a question full of malice like that. I wasn't ready to see the envious, ridiculed look on everyone who saw me. The gaze that meant I was just using Toni to raise the level of myself and my family.

With a heavy heart... I have to do what my heart doesn't mean.

"Sorry Ton... But I can't take it." My tears came out on their own as I said that. Words of rejection that are very contrary to my true heart.

But that's the best I guess. Toni deserves someone much more deserving, than I am just a dojo owner's son.

The answer from Red Ascend really hit Toni's heart. He really did not expect if Red Ascend would give an answer that 180° is the opposite of his expectations.

"Why May?" Toni could not shed her tears. A rejection of his love so sincere really hurt his heart.

"You deserve better than me." May replied, turning her face away. He was not able to see the man he loved had to prostrate to ask for love to himself.

"You're the best for me, May... I'm sure it is..." Toni clasped May's hand. Trying to convince his lover if he is not wrong has chosen a woman.

"Sorry Ton... But I'm really not ready yet..." The Red Ascend is powerless if it should remain in that place. The atmosphere of the cave is so beautiful, plus the figure of Toni who is begging for love on him. Gradually he will definitely melt if he stays in that place.

Red Ascend ran out of the cave, leaving Toni still prostrating with one leg.

"May.. Wait for... Give me May's explanation..." Toni is chasing the Red Ascend. But it seems Red Ascend does not want Toni to do that.

Red Ascend waved his hand, and a wall of red-smoldering flames covered the cave exit. It makes Toni unable to catch up to Red Ascend who left herself alone in the cave.

"I'm sorry Ton.... But this is the best..." While shedding tears, the Red Ascend kept running away from Toni. With a fireball in his right hand, he continued to trace the narrow way out of the cave that he had to go through.
