Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 62: The Promised Dragon Toy - A Letter From Heaven Part 1 (Part 15)
"Everything ... is over, huh?"
Along with the disappearance of the golden light, a sign of life in both eyes of Azadrasil, the rain stopped. It was as if the weather had stopped her crying and smilingly accepted the circumstances. The orange color began to leave the sky, replaced by night darkness. The moon rose and began to light up the deep blue sky accompanied by the glittering stars. The sound of waves rang out. The atmosphere was so peaceful that Ryugai closed his eyes without him noticing and smiled.
Ryugai rushed to land on the shore and jumped down from the phoenix's back. Suddenly, the sound of cracks sounded faintly from around. Ryugai. He immediately opened his eyes again. It appeared that the layers of stone lining the bodies of the soldiers cracked and began to break apart. Everyone's consciousness had returned to their bodies. Everything seems to be overwhelmed by confusion.
"W-What happened?!" asked the Deputy Chief of the Patrol Division in confusion.
"A-Azadrasil!!!" The head of the Patrol Division was aghast. Azadrasil who had fallen. An entire army of monsters seemed to surround him and kneel down respectfully.
"Strategy Commander, you beat him alone?!"
Arai and Genbu who had also just come to their senses were also aghast. "Ryugai, don't tell me you beat him?!" they were almost at the same time.
"No, I didn't beat him. I just set him free" Ryugai said. "Liberating him from the shackles named 'command.' He's free now."
"Yes .., maybe we should also change the stigma that says that monsters are just cruel creatures that are more cruel than wild animals. They also have hearts and feelings, just like us, humans."
"Yugai-sama!!!" call one of the soldiers who is near the body of Deputy Chief Dai. His face looks panicked. He tried to use healing magic, hoping that the man would open his eyes again, but the magic did not work at all.
"What happened to Vice Chief Dai?! My regeneration magic doesn't work!! Is he ...."
Ryugai turned his head, then lowered his head in sorrow. "He's gone .... Deputy Chief Dai loved the village dearly, so he was willing to give up anything to protect her ..., even ... if it was his life ...."
"Oh, yeah ...."
The expressions on the faces of all the soldiers instantly turned into mists. The soldiers rushed around Vice Chief Dai's body, then kneeled respectfully. Ryugai, Arai, and Genbu also approached him and knelt respectfully. The Division Head, Deputy Division Head, and all members of the Air Force Patrol Division immediately landed on the shore and jumped down from the back of their Summon Animals to approach the body. They kneeled respectfully. The entire army closed their eyes. It seems they are all praying. This is the final tribute to the Deputy Chief of the Army who was martyred.
"You are a very silly and careless person .... However, you have a fire spirit and determination that surpasses anyone in Arafubi Village. Your body is matchless. Thank you so much for your sacrifice."
"Rest ... calmly ...."
After a few minutes, Ryugai, Arai, and all the soldiers opened their eyes again. So did all the monster soldiers who had just finished praying Azadrasil. Skull Captain and Ryugai stepped in opposite directions, approaching each other. Their hands are both stretched out. The two shook hands with a friendly smile etched on the face.
"Let's forget about the war." Ryugai opened the conversation. "Since the conflict between the human race and the monster race is over, how about we form an alliance?"
"Cooperate is better than keep fighting. Maybe it will make this world a beautiful world like heaven. Hows it? Do you agree? If you don't agree, we can fight again" Ryugai joked with a mischievous smile.
Skull Captain chuckles amusedly. "Of course I'm so-"
Suddenly, a friendly smile vanished from the Skull Captain's face. He raised his head, looking up at the sky with a panicked face. "What is that?!"
Ryugai and all the soldiers raised their heads. A silhouette of a dragon with wings flapping slowly flashed across the night sky, towards the place where Ryugai's army was located.
"Hey, we just made a peace treaty and you betrayed me right away?!" Ryugai stared seriously at the Skull Captain.
"Bu-No!!!" sahut the captain. "Things like this are not in our plans!!"
"Tu-Wait!!!"** Ryugai watched the dragon closely. "The size looks much smaller than a real dragon!! If it was a real dragon, its silhouette should be getting bigger every second!! But, this silhouette was of fixed size. Means ...."
The original form of the silhouette was finally clearly visible because the distance with Ryugai was already very close. Apparently not a real dragon, but a toy dragon. The toy lands on Ryugai's palm. A piece of paper appeared to be stuck in his mouth.
"Battery-powered dragon toy, 'is it? How strange. It should be in the primitive era like this no one has created this sophisticated toy. Or maybe this toy is a game developer gift? This is the game world. Everything is controlled by the system. Eh? Just wait!! This toy ...."
