The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 165 [Liar]

"Mica..."

"Mica...!"

"Mica!!!!!!"

"What's going on!!??"

Aqua's mind was in chaos. Everything is full of negativity. He's never been this sweet before.

"I shouldn't have left Mika alone!!"

Memories with Mika start from the beginning of their meeting at the base of the dungeon, when they live together, go around looking for other Raven members, revenge on her bastard brother, until shortly before Mika fell into a coma, everything flowed back on Aqua's head. Countless number of times Mika's smile saved her. And now he blames himself for not being able to save Mika.

Not just Aqua, the other Raven felt the same way. Especially the women who are Mika's friends. Eli recognizes Mika as Tiara and thinks of her as his own sister. Elvira and Elvina, who have known Mika for a long time, are much longer than others. The sense of despair they felt was not much different from Aqua.

As soon as they arrived at Aqua and Eli's room which was the purpose of the teleportation, all of them immediately ran out of the room and headed for the next room.

Aqua who was at the front had pegged in front of the door. He was afraid, afraid that what was behind the door was the cold corpse of his lover. On the other hand, angry. Angry at anything that has made her lover like that. Aqua was well aware that the protective & healing array and barrier that protected Mika were very strong, there was even Clelia who helped. If it had arrived like that, Mika could still be injured, meaning it was someone's doing.

"I'll kill! Whoever made you this way will kill you!!"

Along with holding onto the doorknob, Aqua started emitting a great killing aura. His eyes glowed and white scales began to appear on his skin.

TAPP

Aqua's shoulders were held slowly by Elvira. "Calm down, don't give off a killing aura. It's midnight, the others are still sleeping. Don't make trouble."

"After all, Mika is not necessarily hurt. Because what we're talking about is Mika. She's gonna be okay."

Aqua's killing aura began to fade, she became a little calmer due to Elvira's words. But that did not reduce his panic. Aqua took a rather long breath, she started to cool her head, trying to remain calm.

"You guys, get ready. We don't know what's behind this door. It could have been an enemy," Aqua exclaimed answered a nod of her friends.

Raven prepared themselves for battle. Elvira and Elvina held tightly to their spears. Eli and Pietro took out a rifle and a giant hammer from his item box. Lix prepared with his poisonous dagger. They all also prepared their best skills in order to use them quickly.

Elvira glanced at Aqua who looked calm, "This kid. If the one inside is indeed the enemy, I cannot guarantee that the Academy will be fine. Because he's gonna go berserk."

"Just pray, may there be a miracle."

Realizing Raven was fully ready, Aqua turned the doorknob around with great care.

"MICA!!!!!!!"

Raven immediately put up their horses as soon as the door opened. Prepare for any battle that may occur. But the first thing they saw after entering the room was...

"!!!!!!"

The wide open window makes the wind flow into the room along with the moonlight that illuminates a small part of the room. There was a naked teenage girl clad in a plain white scarf that covered her body from head to toe standing silently staring at the moon, looking back at Aqua and the others. The Envy earrings that Mika was supposed to wear and became the source of their arrival, chuckled not far from her.

Aqua immediately turned her eyes towards Mika's bed, but there was no one there. Inside the room, there was only them and the girl. Surprisingly, despite hearing Aqua's scream calling Mika earlier, the girl still did not flinch or turn her head in the slightest. Just keep looking at the moon that is perfectly round.

"What is this status!?" inner Aqua.

"Who are you!? What did you do to the girl who fell asleep in this bed!!?" furious Aqua.

The girl did not answer. Stay still there.

"Who is he!? The enemy!!? No, something's weird. It is not right to call him an enemy. Then who!? His height was different from Mika's, shorter. Ruby!? Not really, Ruby is too small compared to him. With Clelia's magic, no one should be able to enter this room. Then who is he really!!?"

Not only Aqua, the others also no one recognized the girl. Elvira and Elvina, who can also distinguish people by smell, cannot recognize the smell of the girl. Though they can remember the smell of someone they have encountered at least once, but the girl they do not recognize at all. It means they've never met him. In their hundreds of years of life? They never met him at all? That's what makes them more alert.

"The last signal from Mika is clearly in this room. The signal was not even messy before, it suddenly disappeared just like that. Now that Mika is also not here, obviously this all has to do with that girl!!" eli's exclaiming to analyze the situation.

"Yes, I know that too" Aqua replied.

"......."

"......."

Nervous Pietro pulled Lix down, "Why is everyone quiet?"

Lix only smiled in fear as he held the little man's head, "Everyone was on guard. The girl there is strong. The aura he exuded felt both dangerous as well as harmless."

"meaning?"

Raven observed the girl for a few minutes, the slightest movement they would be wary of. However the girl really did not move from there at all. Other than because the girl exuded a dangerous aura, there was another reason why Raven did not attack first. It was because of a strange feeling to the girl. A strange feeling that said they should not attack him.

That feeling made Aqua even more suspicious. "... Mika...? Are you... Mica?"

Despite being surprised by Aqua's words, Raven did not deny it. No matter the foreign taste they felt, they also felt a little nostalgic. Like seeing old friends who change so much after the year passes. Even though it feels foreign, you will definitely still recognize them as your friends first.

The girl reacted slightly to Aqua's question. His small movements made Raven tighten up their horses again. But what he did they didn't expect. The girl only dropped a little white scarf that covered her head until her pure white hair and back were slightly visible.

"!!!!"

They didn't realize it before. Because the scarf left only a small gap when it enveloped the girl's body. But now everything seems clearer, especially because he is standing right in front of the window.

"Hair... blue sky...?" they murmured surprised.

Although not as silver as Aqua's hair, sky blue hair was also an extremely rare hair. Very few people in Demetria have such hair color. Especially that sky-blue wavy hair that was quite long. At least, there was only 1 person known to Raven to have such hair.

"Mika!!???"

"You're Mika, right!!?" ask Eli.

"......"

Aqua frowned.

"No, she's not Mika," Aqua denied.

"?"

Aqua looked at the girl with eyes that were hard to decipher.

"Mika's signal is suddenly gone... The sudden appearance as well as the disappearance of Mika... Status is unclear... A foreign but nostalgic feeling... Sky blue hair..."

"You... Are you a combination of Mika and Ruby?" ask Aqua to make sure.

Raven, "!!?"

The other Raven looked at Aqua and the girl was in disbelief.

"Mika and Ruby's Mountain!!?"

Of course they all know the fact that Airella split 3 into Yue, Mika and Ruby because of the Goddess. They also know that the only thing that can save Mika whose soul has been weakened is to join Ruby. But despite knowing that, since this happened so suddenly, there was no way they would not be surprised.

Raven's reaction was quite different, some fell because of shock, pecking on the spot, squeezing his legs until he sat down, and some were holding his head that was getting dizzy. One thing was the same from all of them, they were all equally waiting for the answer that the girl was about to issue. Because other than Aqua, to be honest the others were also thinking about that possibility.

As if confirming Aqua's question, the girl turned to look at Aqua and her friends.

"!!!!"

How shocked they were to see the girl's appearance from the front. Because the girl who has long wavy sky blue hair has a face that is very similar to Rubylia Arsilla, Aqua's fiance with a more beautiful version, shining and blushing, and blushing, not as pale as the real Rubylia Arsilla.

The eyes that were staring at Aqua and the others flat and coldly had a blood-red color that crystallized like Ruby. In those shining eyes, a symbol ( ⁇ ️) typical of a certain race is depicted with a shiny golden color.

In one look everyone there immediately knew the answer to Aqua's question.

"You... have joined...? What.. how..."

Aqua was speechless. He was at a loss for what to say in a situation like this. Others are just as confused.

At least their hearts became more relieved and they relaxed their vigilance. The feelings of anxiety, panic and anxiety that they felt before, now turned into a sense of pleasure, confusion and worry.

BUGGHHHH

GEDUBRAKKK

"!!!!!"

But when the vigilance was loosening, the girl took action that again surprised Raven. He at an unreasonable speed, punched Aqua in the stomach until the young man fell to the floor in the position that the girl was overrunning him.

Raven, "??????"

It didn't feel so painful because he didn't use reinforcement magic or full power. But still the startled effect of being punched out suddenly it made Aqua somewhat annoyed.

"Why did you suddenly hit me!?"

The girl remained silent for a moment on Aqua's body while bowing her head. As soon as the bowed head was lifted again, the damage Aqua felt far exceeded the blow earlier.

TEST TEST TEST

Tears flowed from her red eyes. His flat expression looked so hurt.

"!!!???"

"Aqua!!! What did you do to him!!!??" angry Eli.

Aqua panicked at the situation, "I-I did nothing!!! I don't know why this is so!! After all, the one that was hit was me!"

"He-Hey... Are you hurt somewhere? Is anyone sick?" aqua panicked at the girl who was crying all of a sudden.

The girl did not say anything, only crying while looking at Aqua with a very heartbreaking expression. Before long, his back took out a pair of enormous wings that were extremely white and clean. The wings began to flap, lifting the girl off the floor.

Shortly before she flew out the window somewhere, the girl said something for the first time. Just one word. The one word that made Aqua and Raven that she left behind there, became more and more confused.

"Liar."
