The Fake Sin Of Fallen God
Chaptre 59. A bounty?
“Heey!”
From a distance a familiar voice was heard, a moment later Argus came out of the bushes and small trees with an object in his hand.
“It looks like you have found it yes.”
“True. Here it is.”
Argus handed the thing in his hand to Dyze, and they watched it closely.
“So this is the Relic in question.”
The relic had a shape like the figure of a sinister sea dragon, had extremely sharp canine teeth, and the scales that enveloped his body were forged in such a way that it felt so smooth yet looked so sturdy.
“The form alone has been seen that this is not an ordinary item.”
Chloe praised the look of Relic, as did Claire and Argus.
‘Then how do I activate it?’
[ Permission answered. You just need to channel your magic energy into it. ]
‘Energy magic only? No need Life Energy?’
[It's not necessary. ]
As Dyze passed her magic energy on Relic, it glowed, the sky became cloudy and a voice telling ‘Lautan’ Secrets flowed in Dyze's ears.
Or so it should have happened.
But sometimes reality is not as beautiful as expectations, and this time it happens to them.
Nothing's going on. There was no light, no sound, and the sky was still cloudy as before.
“A.., pa?”
Not only was Dyze astonished at the sight, Claire, Chloe and Argus also let out the same expression, which was confusion.
What the hell's going on?
The question represented the hearts of all of them, but no one could answer it.
[It's a replica. And of course a replica cannot create the same effect as the original. ]
“Replika.., you say?”
“Eh? Replica?”
Dyze's words surprised all of them, as it was hard to believe that the object was worthy of being Relic's a replica.
What about the original form?
“Sorry.. Slave didn't think it was a replica.”
Argus seemed to feel guilty because he could not distinguish the replica from the real (original) one.
“No, it's not your fault. Anyway I also didn't recognize him in one look.”
“Hufft.”
Dyze sighed, and as usual, Chloe's question was always in every condition like this.
“What will you do next?”
“Do not know.. The important thing is that I will keep this Relic first because maybe someday it will be useful. And for now we focus on resting ourselves.”
Dyze walked away to the Lake inhabited by Hydra. And Argus who glanced at Claire who was holding a heart made her wonder.
“That heart.?”
“The heart of Medusa, a special gift from her.. Hehhe” Claire explains it to Argus with a slight chuckle, which makes it very sweet, even the little heart of Argus himself also acknowledges his charm.
“Gift.., ‘kah? I also want.”
Argus lamented his fate, as he was only a man, and it was likely that Dyze would not notice him.
And in the midst of the joyful atmosphere, a voice that was not of them sounded from within the mouth of the cave.
“It looks like he has woken up.”
“Come.. Claire.”
Chloe invites Claire and Argus to come in and check on her condition, but Claire must reject her because she wants to find a place of privacy to do a personal activity.
In the end, only Chloe and Argus check on Livia, when they get there they see Livia who is in a daze.

L'm...
Whereabouts?
What room is this..?
Livia wakes up in a white place that has no end or base. He regained his senses in a standing state, and immediately turned his head around.
“That's you son.. Livia?”
The deg!
A familiar voice in his ears called out to him from behind. And there was only one figure that was in his head right now.
“Mama!?”
He immediately looked back and found his mother and father crying when he saw her.
“Livia.. Come.”
Livia was unable to stem her tears, she immediately ran up and jumped towards them and hugged him tightly.
Livia's parents return her embrace but her mother says something that makes Livia shocked.
“Im sorry mommy son.”
“Eh?”
Livia glared at them, her tears still flowing from the corner of her eyelids, her heart racing, she felt a bad premonition.
“Listen Livia.. You are not yet here.”
“Dad.?”
Her father gently stroked her cheeks, then smiled.
“Mama and papa will go to distant places once.. And Livia is not yet the time to be with us.”
They let go of her embrace, the shadow of Livia's parents slowly felt more blurred and like it was getting away from her.
“Mama! Papa!”
Livia was chasing him
“TIDAAAAAAAK!”
He tried to reach her by shouting hysterically. But anyway, it's all free.
They disappear.
And Livia woke up from her nightmare.
“Dreams..? Wait—“
Livia realizes that she should be dead, so why is she waking up in a cave-like place?
Why am I here?
What the hell happened to me?
All the questions and oddities that occur make Livia dazed.
When Chloe and Argus come to her, Chloe explains everything, including her preconceptions about what Dyze did to Livia.
…
“So so? Livia didn't die after sustaining such injuries.?”
“Yes. Do you feel anything different?”
“Different?”
Livia tries to figure out what Chloe meant, and she gets it.
“There! Livia felt a strange turmoil in Livia's veins, as if they were waiting to be released.”
“Delivered?”
Chloe and Argus were staring at each other, they could not guess what she meant.
“Let's talk about it! Livia wants to meet and thank him!”
He immediately stood up and ran out of the cave, Chloe and Argus caught up with him from behind.
“Heey!”
Since Livia never personally asked her name, she did not want to call her name before asking for her approval.
Livia approached Dyze who was sitting on a tree on the ground.
“Can Livia sit next to you?”
Coincidentally the tree trunk has a size that is long enough so that it can accommodate 2-3 people at once.
“Mhm.”
Dyze only answered him briefly, without taking his eyes off the lake that Hydra was using to play.
“Do you like the Lake?”
“Not really.”
Livia tries to find a topic for pleasantries, but it seems like it's free.
“Thank you. For everything you did to Livia.”
Upon hearing her words, Dyze looked at Livia for a while, then again threw away her face.
“I did it because I wanted to. Not with the purpose of helping you.”
“Although so Livia remains grateful!”
Livia smiled broadly at him, the sadness she felt before vanished unceasingly as she expressed her gratitude towards Dyze.
“…”
“Hey.., can Livia call your name?”
“Mhm. Sure.”
Livia was happy to hear that, although for Dyze it was a spele thing, but not for Livia, for her it was happiness enough to cover up her sadness.
As Livia was about to leave, Dyze held her hand.
“Wait. I have something for you.”
“Eh?”
