The Fake Sin Of Fallen God
Chapters 31. Nightmare
As Argus was about to reach its limit, the Negative Energy enveloping Dyze exploded, but did not injure his body in the slightest, instead, the explosion produced a deadly surge of energy.
To make anyone or anything nearby die and wither, including the dead, die again. But this was only true as far as a 30 Meter radius, whereas Argus was at a radius of 100 Meters away from Dyze, therefore he survived that mass death.
But even so, Argus still felt the impact of the wind blowing, bringing the wave into his body.
“ARRGGHH!!”
Argus thrashed about feeling as if his internal organs were being pierced by thousands of endless needles, making his heart throb and like it was about to explode at that very instant.
But—
“SIAAAL! I WON'T DIE JUST BECAUSE OF THIS!”
『 Maximize Magic: Awareness! 』
Argus maximized his consciousness by using the remaining magic energy. With this, Argus would not lose consciousness for a while.
The dust caused by the energy explosion had now faded, Argus was again stunned when he saw dozens of chains of his own had been destroyed unceremoniously.
‘What is this..? Was it because of the explosion?! What kind of creature is he really? A human? Is man now this strong?!’
Argus could only screech and sweep away the cold sweat on his forehead. But without showing the slightest hint of fear, he looked at Dyze with determination.
“— However! To hell with what creature you are, if anyone threatens life in Neiphr, I will destroy him!”

While on the other hand, Chronoa woke up in a black room, the room had no end, he stood up and tried to browse through the black room. As far as he walked, he found nothing around him, until one day..
He saw the back of a man he knew from afar. That back was the back of Dyze, he started to accelerate his pace and ran towards Dyze, in the moment he patted her on the shoulder, suddenly the person in front of him turned into the figure that he missed so much, father, Layond.
Just after Layond turned towards Chronoa, the black room turned into his home, where Riley was washing dishes and other kitchen utensils and Lealta was sweeping the house. The atmosphere he truly missed after their departure.
“What's up, Noa? Why do you look like you want to cry? Does my little angel need a warm hug from her father?”
Layond's temptation made Chronoa who seemed to hold something jump and hugged Layond very tightly. He makes Riley, Lealta, and Layond himself confused about his behavior.
Tears held Chronoa finally flowed, regret, shame, and longing mixed into one, Chronoa clasped Layond's back shirt and spoke sobbing.
“Sorry.I'm sorry old man, no, I mean Dad!! I'm sorry for ignoring you all this time. I'm so sorry.”.
Layond became moved when he heard Chronoa call him father, because Chronoa himself had only called him father a few times in his life.
“Whoa.. Didn't think you'd call me dad.. Did something happen?”
Chronoa simply shook his head while saying: “Mhm.” slowly.
“Nothing happened. It's just.. I had a very terrible nightmare.. I'm grateful it was just a dream...”.
Chronoa said the sentence while leaning against Layond's chest. Layond who had a sharp instinct even knew something happened to his son, but he just stroked his head gently with a smile.
“Take it easy. Everything's gonna be okay.. Your father will protect you from nightmares. Even if your father had died, his corpse would have moved, and his soul would have crawled from the bottom of Hell to protect you.”-Layond embraced Chronoa and swept away his tears.
After a while of letting it calm down, Layond takes Chronoa to the city of Canara, the city where the holiday paradise is located.
“Umu!”
Arriving in the city of Canara, the kingdom of Azerbazan, Chronoa was seen smiling widely, as if he was not his usual self.
“See! There's a magic show!”
Chronoa enthusiastically pulled the hands of his parents, Lealta who followed behind him.
“Consideration Ladies and gentlemen, this time I, Mr. X will be showing a water magic show.”
“Hufft.” Chronoa had just arrived, he was sweeping in sweat and taking the show in the theater seriously.
The man held the bucket and lifted it up.
“Look, with just a glass of bucket filled with water, I can turn it into furniture or desired items.”
After saying that, the man placed his bucket on the floor and closed his eyes for a while.
“Wahh!”
A change occurred, the water from the bucket was seen floating around it, “Pedang”, just with a word spoken from the person's mouth, the water clumped and formed a sword.
“Wooohh!”
Enthusiastic crowd cheers filled the ears, including Chronoa who seemed to enjoy it a lot.
The man raised his index finger as a gesture to be silent, the riotous atmosphere had slowly subsided.
“Only with imagination alone, if you can manipulate it properly, you can form an object of any kind from makeshift materials..”-three men with masks enter the theater and place a barrel filled with water within a radius of 5 Meters in front of a Man named Mr. X it, it looks like they are staff-people
“...And the weapons formed also have similar quality to the original material. Like this for example.-“ The man swings his palm with his eyes still closed on one of the barrels.
“Kyaa!”
“What the fuck?!”
The water-filled barrel exploded violently, but the water inside did not wet the theater, instead, it flew towards him and coalesced around him.
“Woah... Only with water can we make such a powerful weapon?!”-Chronoa looks fascinated to see it.
“Anoo.. What if we imagined something that could be used? Like a horse carriage for example?”
“Oooh~?” Mr. X seems interested in the question Chronoa is asking.
“
Unfortunately, even though water can be manipulated and used as an emergency weapon, it will not be too useful if used for daily needs such as cutting meat for cooking or other examples. And for a means of transportation like a horse-drawn carriage, huh? Attractively. I think you'll be able to make it if you can manipulate Earth elements.”
“Really?!”
“Yes. The horse carriage made of Earth element would definitely work like a normal horse carriage. But, if you are unable to maintain its shape, the horse carriage will fuse and disintegrate back into the Earth.”
“So..”
After being satisfied to see the show, Chronoa still smoldering spirit drew both hands of his parents, with a dazzling big smile, as if to say: “Let's have fun again!”
