The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 95: A Glimpse of Light that Swallows the Darkness

The simplest and most preferred definition by Ren of the word <> is the Absence of Light.

Is it the Light that has indeed gone None or the Darkness that has swallowed the Light. In the end, the Two Things refer to the Darkness and Emptiness that Ren Feel.

Right now, Ren was like a Light that existed in Endless Darkness. The untarnished White Light, always smoldering whenever the Darkness tried to devour it.

Maybe this Light can be called the Soul, Spirit, Consciousness, or the Core possessed by Ren. Whenever Ren thinks, says or feels an Emotion, then this Light will display a certain Reaction.

An example is ...

"It's Ridiculous." Ren's light flashed a few times.

Ren who has never been defeated (In the Game) must now endure Shame due to a Giant Worm. Never had Ren expected before that the Worm had such a Mysterious Ability. An ability that can even defeat Ren with just a Touch.

"Am I this sad?" Ren's light dimmed.

It wasn't because of Death that made Ren look pathetic. However, how Ren experienced Death made all this sad.

Burning emotions began to emerge from within Ren. The emotion is Anger, not in others but in oneself. Angry because he was sad, Angry because he was Sloppy, and Angry because he was defeated.

"Hahaha, it seems like I'm too long-winded in the face of them." Ren's light was getting smoldering and a New Color appeared there, namely Red.

The theatricals? A True Man will never Play. A disguise? True power will never hide. Right now, Ren realized that everything he had done was too wasteful - a waste of Time.

"Hm, it looks like I'm really angry. But at the same time, I felt a sense of calm, what is this?" The Red Light representing the Emotions of Anger began to move like a Snake surrounding a Ball.

Not long after that, Blue Color appeared and started moving like Red Color. No one knows what makes this Blue Color appear, but most likely it is caused by the Tranquility Ren Feel.

"Is this Angry and Calm at the same time? Hm ... It doesn't matter."

Just remaining silent in the Darkness would not help Ren solve the Problem. Ren has to find out, is there a way out of this Darkness?

"I can't feel the Body, but I can still feel the Mana."

A Hope begins to be felt by Ren when he learns that in this Darkness there is still Mana. But actually Ren did not know, where it came from.

"Evoid cannot have Mana. So, is this Mana in my body?"

Ren's light grew bigger every time Ren thought of something. Not only that, other Colors began to appear one by one.

Make the White Light which is the Ren Light surrounded by all the Colors that exist in the World.

"I feel, my consciousness is spreading in all directions."

Ren does not realize that he (Light Ren) is like a Light Wave that devours the Darkness in this Void. The Light that swallowed the Darkness, or the Darkness that swallowed the Light, there were only Two options left.

As time passed by, the Light that Ren possessed grew even greater to the point where it could no longer be imagined. But even so, there is still no sign - the sign of Darkness will be completely destroyed.

Until now, all the Colors had existed, all sorts of Emotions Ren had felt. Various experiments he has done. But all of that is completely useless. The darkness remains and cannot be removed.

"angry? Saddened? Pleased? Bored of? Be happy? I've felt all that in solitude. So, what did I miss?"

You've forgotten me, An.

"Forget you?"

Fragment - Fragment of the Image of a Woman appears. Then suddenly, Ren felt a painful feeling. It is painful, even more painful than Solitude in Emptiness. If Ren had a Physical Body, then he would feel the Pain right in his heart.

"M-Why ...? I-I don't know you, but ... Why do I feel this?"

All the Light that had spread into this Void slowly began to shrink. Originally, Light swallowed Darkness, yet now, Darkness began to gnaw Light.

All of this was due to the extremely painful feeling that Ren felt.

"A-i ... I-I ..."

Ren's light dimmed further, even the size when compared to now only one end of the Needle. Different from before, Ren Light is so Big, it can even exceed the Magnitude of the Galaxy.

Is this the end of Ren's Light?

Is Darkness devouring Light?

When the Light will be completely devoured by the Darkness. There are several other Lights in the Empty. Light - The light surrounded Ren Light as if giving the spirit to stay alive.

"Ren-sama ...!"

The image of Nirlayn Shouting Hysterically is witnessed by Ren Light.

"T-Master! Sialaaannn you ... White gyvate!"

The image of the Wrathful Avrogan and Fighting with Giant Worms was witnessed by the Light of Ren.

"Y-Yang M-Mulia ... Don't leave me. Hicks ... Hicks ... Hicks ..."

The image of Arystina Crying while supporting Ren's Physical Body was witnessed by Ren Light.

At that moment, Light Ren blinked once. Then, the Ren Light made a very powerful Light Explosion. At the same time, a word from someone appeared and was heard by the Light of Ren.

Whether it's a game of fate or something, I just want you to not experience what I'm going through.

Ren's light exploded, like the Big-Bang explosion that was mentioned by Scientists as the beginning of the Universe. All the Darkness in the Void is swallowed and perished.

The explosion of Light ended, and left only the endless White Empty. Amongst the White Empty, there was a man with a perfect appearance. He was, Anryzel Dirvaren, the glimmer of Light that had swallowed the Darkness.

"Nirlayn, Avrogan, Arystina and the Strange Man. I'm thanking you guys."

Ren's eyes opened and revealed a terrible smile as usual. Then, Ren stretched out his Arm at Emptiness. From there, a Hole appeared which was the Door of the Inventory.

"Let's destroy this Emptiness ... Nuxuria!"

The shing! The shing!

Two crossed slashes that make up the letter 'X' Ren. Then from that Void, a Black Crack like the Letter 'X' appeared which was the result of the Slash from Nuxuria.

This time, there was no more Doubt or Anxiety in Ren. Therefore, even if Ren were to enter the Black Void once more, then he would not lose. For that reason, Ren ran and entered the 'X' Crack without the slightest hesitation.

"Now I have been born again!"

Ren's figure entered into the 'X' Crack and left only the White Void. The crack slowly - the land disappeared and turned back into an Empty. But not long after that, a figure appeared that could not be described by words.

I don't think a Fragment can do something like this. Maybe, he's fit to be ...

Dam up! Dam up! The jeduarrrr!

The Loudeas Forest is being ravaged by Lightning which is constantly being struck with a terrible. No one can stop or restrain this Thunderbolt that strikes with the Terrific. Even the Legendary Snake could only escape from this Overwhelming Attack.

Behind the relentless Lightning Strike chasing the Legendary Snake, there was a figure of Wrath above the sky. The figure was the Winged Horse Avrogan, which was covered in wrath. Not only that, all parts of his Body underwent a terrifying Evolution.

The Elegant Avrogan Winged Horse is now gone. Replaced by a Horse which when viewed as a Catastrophe in the sky.

"Gyvate! Don't expect you to escape! I'll destroy you even if I have to go looking for you to Hell!"

Duars! Duars! Duars!

Destroyed Land, Scorched Trees. There is only the destruction left of the magnificent Loudeas Forest. While the Winged Horse Avrogan Murka, the figure who called the Legendary Snake, Irlyana was busy escaping.

"Crazy! I didn't expect to fight an Enemy like this!"

Irlyana kept running while cursing her own fate. Although his mission to kill someone had been successful, yet he did not expect to Lose a Life. The appearance of this extraordinarily powerful Enemy was simply not what he wanted.

Irlyana's footsteps were not careless, it was because of the panic she now felt. A Terrible Woman was chasing him like an Angel of Death.

"Bahh ... Huh ... Did I manage to run ...?"

Several times Irlyana tried to look back to ensure her Safety. But right now, Irlyana did not see the Monstrous Woman chasing after her at all. It made Irlyana sigh in relief from feeling already safe.

"Lucky Woman is quite bo- ...?!"

"I'll chop you up! I'll chop you up! I will not forgive! I will not forgive! You are! You are! You!!!! Hhhhhhh!!!!!!!"

Irlyana tries to escape back when she sees Nirlayn's hideous figure. But even before Irlyana could make a move, Nirlayn was already in front of her.

"Hehehe, because of you."

Nirlayn gripped Irlyana's neck while smiling horribly. Then unexpectedly, Nirlayn moved quickly, dragging Irlyana towards a Rock Cliff that was quite far from where it was originally.

Syuttt! Bamm!

"Guhoook!"

Irlyana's body collided with the Great Stone, as Nirlayn's Speed and Strength were enormous when doing so, hence there was no other choice for Irlyana other than to experience Destruction. All of the Bones he had were Cracked and Crushed from that extraordinarily violent Clash.

"I'm not letting you die! I'm not letting you die! You are! You will feel the pain forever!"

Nirlayn's arm gripping Irlyana's Neck Glowed Red. Then, all sorts of wounds experienced by Irlyana instantly healed. And it made Nirlayn grin as if feeling an incredible Glad.

"Excruciating moment! Ahhhhhhh!"

Crakk! Crakk! Crakk! Crakk!

Nirlayn broke Irlyana's Two Legs and Two Arms. With the aim that Irlyana can not escape again. After confirming the drooping Irlyana was helpless but still alive, Nirlayn took out his Sword and made the Blood Sword use his Blood Art.

"Prepare to be minced meat! This is all for Ren-sama! You dare to separate us then feel the consequences!"

Nirlayn began his Torture, every time Nirlayn cut something, it would sound a Scream of Desperation. The scream was always accompanied by a terrible laugh that sounded and made all the Animals and Monsters who were there scared and fled.

Go back to the place where Ren's body was ...

Here, there is only an Arystina who holds Ren's body while Crying sobbing. All sorts of Efforts Arystina had put forth to resuscitate Ren's lifeless Body.

Ren's body that had White Skin had now paled and was colorless. The flow of Breath that was supposed to be running had now come to a halt. Heart Rate and Pulse cannot be felt anymore. The Red Eye that had always been staring at Arystina gently had now closed for good.

The hand that had stroked Arystina's hair was now unable to move anymore. The Warm Smile that he always displayed on Arystina, would only be a Memories. Then, the feelings that are in Arystina's Heart, will never be avenged.

The swiftness of the Tears became a witness, the Deep Sadness that Arystina felt.

In Heart, Arystina said desperately, "If Your Majesty is indeed going to leave, why should Your Majesty come?"

Jeduuarrr!

"Your Majesty ... Come back."

The jeduarrrr!

"Your Majesty ... Don't go."

Jeduaarrrr!

"Your Majesty ..." Arystina wiped away the Tears that poured out from her Two Eyes. Then his Face displayed an incredible Determination, " ... I'll find something that can bring you back."

"Before that ... There's something I have to say. Hicks ... Hicks ... I love ..."

Arystina drew her Face closer to Ren's Face while aligning her Lips with Ren's. Their distance is getting closer and closer.

" ... You."

Arystina closed her Eyes, and her lips were about delicate Skin. Maybe they kissed? Arystina doesn't know. But, as soon as Arystina opened her Eyes ...

"Love who?" Ren said with his Red Eye staring straight at Arystina's Eye.

What Arystina touched with her Lips was not Ren Lips. It was Ren's Finger that stopped the Two Lips from meeting. Suddenly, Arystina was greatly shocked and distanced her Face.

Although the Kiss did not occur, but Happiness that exceeded a Kiss was felt by Arystina. Happiness due to the figure of Ren who has come back to life. Arystina sobbed, she was unable to hold back her Happy Crying any further, and with Forced she shouted, "Huaaaaa!! Your Majesty!" While hugging Erat Ren who was still in his lap.

"Hm ..." Ren just silently let Arystina hug him with Erat. Smiling softly, Ren once again stroked Arystina's hair, whispering, "I'm sorry for worrying you."

It took a while for Arystina to calm down. During that time, Ren did the thing he should, which was to let Arystina hug him and calm Arystina down.

"Y-Your Majesty ... Thank goodness, thank goodness you're okay." Arystina Full of Love.

"I'm fine thanks to you. Thank you." Thank you."

"I don't understand ... But, what happened to you, Your Majesty?"

"Hoho, this is the Little Thing, I'll explain later. Now ..." Ren released Arystina and went to stand up. Then Ren looked up to the sky, staring at Avrogan who was still in a state of Murka while describing the Lightning was not funny.

"... I'll save them first."

Arystina who watched Ren from Behind felt that Ren had changed. However, it is not certain what has changed in him. Perhaps, all of that will be revealed in the Future later ...
