The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 49, Amaya Keiko and the White-Eyed Man Shine
"Amaya Keiko...?" asked Anna astonished,
"He is the third person to have the eye of time. He's also the one who guards the Ender Library. Before going to the Fantasym universe, we went there to find out about the eyes of time and everything else." Obviously Sei,
"Third user?",
"Yes. if we don't know. then that person would know.".
Suddenly someone's voice appeared. A woman's voice.
"You're right." said the voice.
We fell silent, then looked behind me. A small woman with big glasses in her left eye and a Graduation hat on top of her head, dressed like a noble child. The woman we were just talking about flew off with a broom behind me. It was Amaya Keiko.
"Amaya Keiko?!" sei said surprised, though,
"Yes right..",
"Why are you here?",
"I just felt a great energy in this universe. In a hurry I wanted to stop him but I was late. All I saw was a city that was almost completely destroyed by that energy and my dead acquaintances.",
"So.. in short you actually know how to deal with that spear?",
"Yes. I know how. The spear was aiming for one person, but if the spear had hit what he was after then it would have exploded. One way was to sacrifice someone else whom he did not target then the spear just killed him.",
"Then what other way?",
"The spear you are fighting is a spear that comes from the moon and includes demon-level forbidden magic. Another way to stop it is to destroy the moon or kill its users. Your friend dying for her self-sacrifice means she knows that's one way and she doesn't know any other way.",
"But where did Tohka know that?" ask Anna to interrupt the conversation,
"There are two people who have faced it and managed it safely. One of them is your birth mother, Nakano.",
"Then... Tohka learned it from her birth mother Nakano?" ask Sei,
"I don't think so. Remember that! Nakano's birth mother had died before she knew him.",
"Keep from whom?" ask Anna, please,
"I'm not informed about him. I don't know his name and everything in the whole universe nobody knows his name, but he's given one nickname. His nickname was Herobrain.",
"Herob.rain?" muttered Sei scared,
"What's up, Sei? You knew?" my tofu, my,
"I don't know much about him but I've heard little about him. He was a shining white-eyed man who used a pickaxe as his weapon. The pickaxe has magic in it that has an electric element. With that pickaxe, this guy can control lightning as he pleases." Obviously Sei,
"Man.. white-eyed.." I muttered,
"Nakano?".
Instantly I recalled the time my sister spoke that she was being cared for by a white-eyed man and became friends with Tohka after she was pushed with me by my own mother to go to safety. My sister said that my mother recognized this man and intended to give both of our lives to him but there was something unexpected, not what was planned.
"If we want to find her, maybe my brother knows something." I said,
"But what about Tohka?" ask Artoria to interrupt the conversation. We were almost forgetful about him. What do we have to do?
"How about this, Nakano?" ask Sei. I moved my teeth hard and clenched my hands hard while bowing my head.
"Hei Nakano... You still don't know that style?" ask Keiko in the middle of the atmosphere,
"straight? What moves?" ask me astonished,
"You don't know yet... What about you, miss? You know that skill?" ask Anna Keiko. Anna tilted her head and raised her eyebrows.
"Well!" Swishing Keiko. Then he walked in front of the Tohka that I carried and told me to lower it.
"Down him!".
I followed his orders and let him down. Then Keiko told me and the others to back off.
"Retreat now!"
We all obeyed his orders and retreated backwards. Keiko came forward and sat on Tohka's body. Breathe in and let go, then he breathed out once more.
"I, Amaya Keiko, the user of time. I told you to turn back time like before! RETIME!".
Tohka then flew into the air. There was a light snatching to the end of the sky. In the middle of the light, there was something blue with the same shape as the eye of time. Then, the needle up there rotates counterclockwise.
I looked towards Keiko's time eyes, and her time eyes were the same as the ones above. I looked back up. Up there, I saw Tohka's stomach closing as it was.
"This... isn't it... time-forbidden eye ability?!" said Anna cutting the mood,
"forbidden ability? what'sthat?" ask Artoria,
"A skill that requires a lot of energy is like looking at the future. This ability focuses on reversing the time of something or the person whose user sees it.",
"What do you mean?" my tofu, my,
"In short is.. reverse time!".
The light that struck it dimmed and disappeared slowly by itself. Tohka who flew above the air, freefall at an altitude of 1200 meters from where I stand.
Me and my friends, except for Tohka, quickly went towards Tohka. Sei flew with his sword, Artoria jumped, Anna flew with her time eyes, and I teleported. We all arrived in Tohka at the same time. We're together, arresting Tohka.
I then teleported to our previous starting place with my friends. We call Tohka's name at the same time.
"Tohka!".
We continued our words at the same time.
"WAKE UP! YUMMY!",
"WAKE UP! YUMMY!",
"WAKE UP! YUMMY!",
"WAKE UP! TOHKA!".
Tohka then coughed. After stopping, he opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the four of us sitting next to him.
"Everything.." —murm.
We all fell silent and while Tohka finished her sentence with a happy smile.
"I'm home...".
We smiled with teary eyes. We hugged Tohka quickly.
"Tohka!" call us all one by one.
Sei stood up and looked towards Keiko. He ran and hugged Keiko tightly.
"Thank you.... Keiko!!",
"Ah.. Uh.... RELEASE!",
"No!! You are a good woman..." .
Then, Anna and Artoria also ran towards Keiko and hugged her gently. They both put their hands on his head and rubbed him.
"You are a good boy... Keiko." Anna said in a soft tone,
"Let go!" said Keiko,
"Good boy.. good boy.." muttered Artoria.
Suddenly, Keiko's face turned red and began to recede and did not rebel much.
"I-I just finished my job! There's nothing else!" he said,
"really?" ask Anna, please,
"Yes!",
"Good boy.." murmured Anna.
I held Tohka behind my back and looked towards the four of them.
"Now how is this, Nakano? Looking for the identity of the Herobrain?" ask Artoria,
"Yes right.." I muttered,
"Herobrains?" tohka's murmur, Tohka's,
"Yes... You know him?",
"Yes.he is my guardian and also Maname's guardian. He took good care of both of us and trained us very well. But I don't know how it is right now. Maname said he was gone. And he could only be found in the Spiral God Tower.",
"What spiral?" ask Sei,
"Spiral God Tower is a huge tower with five floors. On every floor there was an enemy that became a legend. Every guard changes every 1000 years. Only the chosen ones can go inside." Keiko
"How do you become the chosen one?" my tofu, my,
"Either. There's usually a hand-drapper near the tower who can tell if you're the chosen one or not." Obviously Keiko,
"That's it. I get it..!",
"So how, Nakano? Spiral God Tower or to another universe?" ask Artoria to interrupt,
"We're going to another universe first before going to the Spiral God Tower. From the name we know that every guard must have great strength. Before that, I have to get stronger." Answer,
"Keep, what universe do you want to explore next?" ask Tohka, please,
"The universe of mechanics! Machinery!"'s!" I said with spirit,
"But before that, we have to get out of here" I said,
"Then, I'll go first. See you later" Keiko said. He called his broomstick and went flying with it.
"Then let's go to the White Pion Palace." I said,
"Yes" answered the four of them.
We also teleported with my help and went to the White Pion Kingdom. And in this way, my business in this rotten universe is done, but not with my enemies.
