The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 51 [My Precious Brother]
AQUA POV
My whole body hurts. I can't even move a fingertip. No, even opening my eyes is hard.
Is correct...
I fell off the 25th floor...
This sensation was different from when I died in my previous life. So somehow I'm still alive. Still alive, can I survive?
What floor is it...
The monsters on this floor must be stronger. If this continues, I can really die. Die off? Why why anyway? What would happen if I died? Will there be anything different?
Nothing's gonna change...
Surviving here does not mean surviving the monsters on this floor.
"IF BIG BROTHER DIES FIRST, I'LL HATE BIG BROTHER!!!!!"
!!
A memory suddenly flashed through my mind. A girl with long black hair and black eyes cried loudly. Wh why? Why does my heart hurt to remember? I don't even know who he is, but why is that memory like a shackle that forces me to stay alive no matter what?
Shit man!!!
At least give me an explanation!!!!
Where did this mistake begin??
Since I entered the dungeon?!
Ever since I met Turquoise?!
Since I came to the Vittacelar Kingdom?!
Or since I left the orphanage?!
Uhhh!!! I know that!!!! My mistake from the start was due to my own naivety!!! If I wasn't naive, I wouldn't have lost someone precious to me!
A valuable person?! Brother Rin!!!!!
How is brother?!!
I need to get up now! I don't care if I get hurt. But I have to what if brother gets hurt?!!!
Wake up!!!!!!
Wake up!!!!!!
I said wake up!!!!!!
NORMAL POV
TESS TESS TESSS
"Hmm? Whatisthis? I felt like there was water washing my face. Is there a water source above me?"
"Are you okay?" said someone lirih. "Thank God you weren't hurt..."
The eyes that had been very heavy and difficult to open suddenly widened as soon as they heard the familiar voice.
Tears that have not come out for a long time, flow rapidly. Aqua's expression instantly deteriorated rapidly.
"SILLY!!!!" squeals Aqua panicked.
Citrine looked at Aqua with a vision that began to blur. Blood dripped from his head and body. While enduring the excruciating pain, the girl smiled warmly at Aqua.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Brother Turky. That must have been a bad experience for you, right?" citrine.
Aqua shook her head strongly.
"No!!! It's not brother's fault!! Why is it that brother apologized!!!"
"Not that!!!! Move Brother!!!!!! Go in front of me now!!!!" his screams were all his might with a heartbreaking tone.
Citrine really can't see now.
"Hahaha... Did you throw me out?"
Aqua bit her lips until they bled.
"I don't know what I mean, do you!? Get out now!!!!!!"
"Can't..."
"At least, I want you to have a sister you can call brother..."
Citrine's body trembled, although her face was smiling, Aqua could immediately tell that she was enduring the pain.
Aqua tried to move her body as much as possible. However due to the mana depletion effect of 3x, his body could not move temporarily.
"Move shit!!!! I beg... I. beg... this time only..."
Aqua's tears won't stop. He can't stand the situation now. On top of his small body lying down, Citrine curled up to protect Aqua from a giant rock that had fallen down. And not only that, a sharp object like a claw pierced his chest and the stone on it into holes. But ironically, thanks to such a Citrine, Aqua was not at all crushed or pierced by the large claw.
"I beg you. anyone. I beg you.. Please get brother out of here.." she cried.
"So my brother can go... Why even protect me?!!!!"
With his eyes, Aqua could tell that the HP of Citrine was steadily decreasing rapidly. If this continues, his brother could die.
"..... You're asking a stupid question."
"You know Aqua. So when you came that day, I was so happy. I promised the Goddess at the same time... Since the Goddess has brought me a sister, then as a sister..."
Aqua's tears were flowing increasingly. Citrine should still have leftover mana in her body that she could use to save herself. But the girl used all her mana, even up to her life force to protect and heal Aqua.
"No. I don't want this. don't. don't leave me, brother..."
Such an expression Aqua had never let out since her mother died long ago.
Without even looking, Citrine could tell that her sister was crying. He could not stop his sister's cry with his current strength. The girl could only smile warmly for Aqua to feel lightened. But that smile just pierced Aqua's heart.
"Aren't you. You a smart, calm kid? If that's you, you should know that you're safer..."
"No way!!! I don't want to survive alone!!! We have to get out of this dungeon together!!!! Then... then along with me... and others..have fun to get bored.." cried the child.
"Don't leave me alone..."
"....."
Citrine knows there's not much time left. Although he and Aqua could both use healing magic, the injuries were too severe right now. His chest was hollow, his head was almost broken, his lower body had been crushed by rocks, plus there was poison in the claws that began to spread on his body. If the wound was that severe, only Legend level magic upwards could cure it.
"You will not be alone. You are a cheerful and warm child.. wherever you go. You can always find new friends..."
Though Citrine had held back her tears with all her might, yet she still could not help falling down to wet Aqua's cheeks.
"Ah.. when I. want to see your future like that..."
Although Citrine's eyes were wet from crying, her mouth was always smiling.
Aqua's cries were becoming more and more. The boy had already tried Mana Coercion a few times from earlier. But it seems like 3x is the limit. Despite being forced after all, mana no longer entered his body.
"Can't!! You can see it with me!! Hang on!!! I will definitely heal big brother!!!!"
Aqua angry. Angry at himself who can't do anything when his loved ones are hurt.
"There is no need to force yourself.Your body can be damaged if more than this... I beg Aqua..."
"No way!!!"
".... Please give my last message to my mother..."
"No way!! Just say it yourself!!!!!"
"Tell him. I'm not sorry for saving you..."
Aqua's tears could no longer be stopped. It flowed as if it had been held back for a very long time.
Citrine's blinded eyes began to close. The girl lowered her head slightly and kissed Aqua's forehead with her final warmth.
"Please..live happily.. I. love you..."
Leaving behind her warm smile, Citrine breathed her last right in front of Aqua.
"K!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WWWUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHHH..... BROTHER!!!!!!!"
Aqua's screams sounded extremely heart-stifling. Anyone who heard or saw this incident will definitely feel tight and sick to him.
Aqua had never cried this much before. Even until his tears ran out and changed with blood, the painful cries did not stop. Although his voice started to disappear and made him cough up blood. That heartbreaking scream did not swallow at all.
The shock and despair of the betrayal and grief of losing a family member had damaged the child's senses.
