The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 59, The Struggle for First Love
Keiko pressed my sword on the blade like there was a button there. The sword replied and teleported to where Aoi was.
Aoi looked at me in surprise. Green skin and people who feel the heat are amazing. Aoi calmed herself down and brought her head closer to me to take a closer look.
"What's going on?",
"..." No response from Keiko. Aoi looked towards Keiko who was looking down guiltily before she looked back at me. She could not see Keiko's eyes because her eyes were covered by her short hair.
"Pa.nas.." I said, I said,
"Sad. Nakano was exposed to a demon-level poison.".
"It's my fault." said Keiko,
"Eh?".
Keiko clenched her hands so tightly and cried.
"It's my fault... Nakano... hisk..so look at it. because.. hisk..." Keiko said while crying, though,
"Don't blame yourself.",
"IF I'M NOT WRONG, WHO IS IT?! Suppose I were more alert...",
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced you on this dangerous mission. I know how you feel.".
I can't hear anything they're talking about. My vision also faded.
"Eh?" mumbling Keiko,
"I know how you feel. You.. like Nakano, don't you?",
"Eh?", though?",
"I can't explain it but the important thing is we need an antidote to the poison.",
"The antidote?",
"The antidote is in the creature that attacked you. Especially on the top. There's something like a crystal. If you break the crystal, you will find a puddle of purple water that is the antidote to this poison.",
"Crystals.. purple...",
"This is not the time to think! You only have 24 hours before Nakano dies. You should've gotten the poison.",
"Dead?",
"Yes. This is your fight. Your opponent or loved ones will die. Your choice is just that. I really wanted to help but you know what happened to me.".
(What did Aoi say! This is not the time to face fate. I had to save him because... He is the man I love!).
Keiko then went teleporting with my sword back to where it was before. The green place is disgusting.
Keiko returned to his cave and ran to the outer part of the cave. Behind the separation magic, Keiko sees something very bad and unbelievable. All the animals there died, except the monsters that attacked it. Keiko fell silent unable to move or say. He doesn't believe what he sees.
Keiko ventured to stay ahead. He retreated and ran outside the cave. He didn't get the poison, he's probably gone. Keiko looked up, where the monster was. The monster remained there, whether he wanted to do anything but for Keiko this was an opportunity. Keiko swam up to the monster.
Keiko had no idea when the monster would strike again, so she took the initiative that she should swim and defeat the monster quickly.
When it was already at the very top of the monster, Keiko looked down at it which was something she was looking for. Keiko raised my sword, the Excusifer and swung it down to destroy the crystal. But the crystal didn't break, of course because it was hard. But Keiko kept swinging it until it was destroyed.
After some of Keiko's most powerful swings were ejected, the crystal was not shattered. Keiko gasped for breath while thinking what this monster really wanted to do. The monster was motionless, unthreatened, and did not even show any reaction, but its ability just now was incredible. What does this monster really want to do?
Keiko stood with the Excusifer in her grasp. Suddenly there was a shock above. The needles were raised towards the very top of the monster.
Keiko is looking for safety rather than misery, she runs to plunge down from the monster. But at the end, he couldn't jump. There was a translucent wall around the monster. Keiko quickly swam up but could not, the top was also covered.
(Wire!).
After which, the needles pointed towards Keiko. The reason this monster remained silent the moment Keiko tried to destroy its crystal was to make the wall translucent and attack it.
(This monster is smart too.)
Keiko doesn't know what to do. He then tried to smash the wall with my sword but could not. He didn't have enough physicality to break that wall. Keiko bounced back with my sword away.
Keiko stood up and ran towards my sword. But on that trip, Keiko could not move. His body is heavy. The monster used gravity magic to increase the gravitational force around Keiko.
(It's done, right? I'm sorry Nakano... I just got my first love.. At least we'll go to heaven together. Sorry everyone.).
*Clang*the sound of something like glass breaking in the middle of its weight. The gravity goes back to how it was.
"Basic. That nakano! Didn't say he was leaving!" someone said.
(Who? I think I know his voice.).
"Keiko. Are you all right?" someone said,
"Don't let dong, Anna! Keiko are you okay?" said someone else.
(Anna? What's he doing here?).
"Wine. Keiko seemed to have a crack in her ribs due to the excessive gravity objection.",
"Then. Sei, recover him with your light magic.",
After which, the person moved near Keiko. Keiko can't see his face but can see his shadows. That guy foretells something.
"You are the light. Give this person comfort and remove him from pain and despair. Light Healing!".
Keiko was comfortable and warm. It feels like all the weight is gone.
(Yemen... what is this.. heaven?).
After a few minutes, Keiko finally woke up next to her with my other friends, Tohka, Sei, Artoria, and Anna.
"Where is this...?" ask Keiko, please,
"It's above the floating monsters." replied Tohka.
Keiko looked at her friends.
"Why are you here?" ask Keiko, please,
"Yes. It's a long story." replied Tohka.
Keiko's memory began to improve. He remembered his original purpose and his present purpose.
"Yeah! Also true! NAKANO!" Shouted Keiko suddenly. He woke up from his sleep and sat down.
"Don't rush. You received heavy injuries from this monster but thanks to Sei, everything is fine. You better thank Sei." Tohka explained,
"Hehe. I'm just helping a friend." said Sei shyly,
"Not that! I might be fine, but Nakano! She's... In danger!" said Keiko.
Keiko then looked at Anna who was walking towards him. Anna then squatted down and approached towards Keiko.
"Anna?".
Anna then raised her hand to the side and slapped Keiko very hard.
"Anna?",
"It's your fault, right..? You said Nakano was in danger, right.. because of your fault...?" ask Anna, please,
"Wait, Anna! What are you doing?!",
"WHISPER!!" Shouted Anna firmly,
"My jawab... Keiko... ANSWER ME!".
Keiko then lowered her head and she answered Anna with a tone full of guilt and eyes covered by her short hair.
"Yes.." muttered Keiko, though,
"What's? I can't hear you.",
"Yes.. yeah... yeah! It's my fault!",
"Keiko relax!",
"THAT'S MY FAULT! NAKANO GETTING POISON FROM THIS MONSTER IS MY FAULT! HE RISKED HIS LIFE JUST TO SAVE AN OLD LITTLE BOY LIKE ME!!" yelled Keiko while crying,
"This monster is it?" said Anna,
"Yes.",
"The antidote?",
"There's a crystal underneath us.",
"Is that so?".
Anna, with her eyes covered by her white hair since meeting Keiko, stood up and twisted her body.
"Everyone, get away from this monster immediately." Anna ordered,
"what do you want to do?" ask Tohka, please,
"Just do it!",
"Good.".
Tohka held the crying Keiko and teleported with Sei, Keiko and my sword away. They saw Anna want to do what to this monster.
Anna meets Artoria who just came out from under this monster. Artoria's from downstairs because she's smashing the bully's needles. Now the monster has no more needles.
"Resert immediately!" anna's orders to Artoria,
"Good.".
Artoria then looked towards Tohka and the others and swam there quickly leaving Anna alone on top of the monster.
What does Anna want to do?
