The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 45's

"Ah... It was just a dream." Zyden shouted, waking up from his sleep. "How can I dream about them?" He continued unknowingly shedding tears.

"Eh? Ke... Why am I crying, and why is my chest so painful?" Said Zyden glancing at his tears with his right hand.

"Aw... Ahahaha! This is called the longing after death! Really, is this still the old me?" He calmed down, and cried like a child.

Zyden cried for about 10 minutes, he let out all the yearning with a cry that he would never do on earth.

But Zyden is still Zyden. He was a hunter on Earth and also a hunter in Bessara. Mission is the most important thing to him.

"I just remembered! On earth, I never felt lonely even though I was a solo hunter, it was because my family was always waiting for me?" Zyden sat in his chair.

"But in this world, there will be no one waiting for me. Am I still gonna be okay here?" Zyden began to hesitate, sounding from the tone of his words.

'WE WILL ALWAYS BE ON YOUR SIDE'

A memory suddenly flashed through Zyden's mind.

"..., But now, there's no one by my side!" Zyden muttered reminiscing about his former life.

As Zyden reminisced about his past, a firefly flew right past his eyes. Which made him wake up from his daydream and look at the fireflies.

How unexpected it is. Not just one, but tens to hundreds of fireflies flying to and fro around Zyden.

Zyden was stunned to see so many fireflies in the same place. And again, the light emitted by the fireflies was not just ordinary light.

Beautiful and bright light exceeds the light from crystal stones used as decoration in a room.

Shortly thereafter, Zyden began to realize that fireflies were different from ordinary fireflies. They were shaped like tiny balls that emitted an extremely beautiful colorful light.

Not a few fireflies that fly, then stick to Zyden's body and then fly again. It looked very strange, but it also made Zyden feel at ease and dispelled the doubts that were in his heart.

"It turns out it's late at night." Zyden looked at the window. "Huf... I'd better go out for a walk to cool my head down." Continue standing and stepping out the door.

'click'

Zyden began to walk down the halls of the palace looking for a way to get out so he could take a walk outside the palace.

He chose to walk instead of teleporting because that was his goal, spending time clearing his mind of his past memories.

With the eyes of knowledge skill, it was very easy for Zyden to find the exit from within the palace.

After exiting, he chose to walk to the right which contained trees rather than a large flower garden and fountain on the left.

After a few minutes of Zyden walking, he finally reached the place he was headed to. A clear lake like a mirror that reflects moonlight into the surrounding area.

Zyden began to sit on the ground enjoying the glow of fireflies and moonlight reflected by the lake to the surroundings. But one thing made him think.

'isn't it still night? Then, why are so many people hiding looking at me?' thought Zyden felt the presence of many people behind the trees and bushes.

'fortunately they have no intention of killing me, if they have... I'll use them as my current outlet.'

'Haah... Bad Mood, I'm rarely gini!' he continued to enjoy the night and heed the people who were watching him.

Ten minutes later.

"Em..., Milord? May I.... sit near you...?" A female voice rang out which made Zyden turn to look at her.

A silvery-white haired woman dressed as a servant spoke after coming out from behind the tree where she was hiding.

She was Liya, Erika's personal servant. Liya had already noticed Zyden by the time he came out of the palace until now.

It is also done by everyone who is hiding behind trees or bushes around the lake.

Liya couldn't bear to just look at it from afar, she was determined and asked permission to take a closer look.

Zyden responded in silence and turned to ignore her, preferring to enjoy her night instead of serving Liya with a strange expression.

Liya was a bit hesitant as Zyden did not speak or answer her. Then, Liya began to vent herself by walking and sitting not far to the left of Zyden.

Zyden was still paying attention to him sitting right next to him. He did not forbid but questioned why the queen's personal servant was beside him at night.

Zyden just glanced at him to see Liya who was playing around with the fireflies.

"I'm glad you're going on an adventure with Miss Erika, my lord!" Erika was still playing around. "I heard that my master turned down this trip when he first met Miss Erika." Continued speaking.

"It was also the first time Miss Erika had been rejected by others during her life. I became worried about Miss Erika's situation when my Master rejected her."

"But it seems, all my worries are free. Looking at Miss Erika who was considerate of my master in the room, and seeing your familiarity in the hallway this afternoon."

"I'm really very relieved. Thank you for being here and giving the colored days to Miss Erika." Liya continued to be happy and smile.

Zyden still silently did not reply, he looked at Liya with his blank look.

"A..., do you have a beer here?" Smooth Zyden.
