The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 64, State of Emergency!
"The mountain protected by Leviathan has something for sure" Artoria said,
"Yes." answered Anna.
"How now? Asking Tohka for help to move to the mountain?" ask Anna, please,
"You're right... Oh, can you?" ask Artoria,
"Yes. I can, but I'll run out of energy afterwards. I must not teleport within a few hours to recover my energy." Tohka explained,
"Then... Sei, can your sword transfer your energy to Tohka?" ask Artoria,
"Eh?! It's hard too. I don't know if I can or not because I haven't tried it." I explained,
"Then I will transfer my energy to Tohka. It would be terrible if we stayed on the mountain for a very long time, plus this pungent heat.",
"Thank you, Artoria. You are very helpful kali— No, you are very helpful in the trip this time.",
"Yes. Tohka's right. You've helped a lot this time. I'll tell Nakano later about this matter and maybe you'll receive an award or a gift from Nakano later!" Obviously Anna.
Artoria starts to imagine Nakano rubbing her head and says, "Smart wife..". His face turned red and began to be embarrassed.
"What's up, Artoria?" my tofu, my,
"T-No! There's nothing!" artoria said trying to cover up the shame,
"Eh... Is that right..? It seems like you've been imagining where Nakano praises you." Anna said with a cynical smile,
"W-What are you talking about?! I. that... Don't expect any compliments from Nakano!".
Artoria turned her flushed face away from Anna's sight. Anna smiled sinisterly and covered her mouth like a princess.
"Eh... Is that right..?".
There was no response from Artoria.
"All of you! We need to focus on the mission! I'm ready to take us to the mountain there" said Tohka,
"Y-Yeah! That's right Tohka said! We have to f-fo-focus on the mission!" artoria said trying to cover up her embarrassment,
"You don't want to be honest" Anna told Artoria,
"Then are you all ready?" ask Tohka, please,
"Yes.",
"Yes.",
"Yes." Yeah." Answer the three of us at the same time.
Tohka stood before all of us, casting a spell.
"You darkness, follow my command. In the name of darkness, I ask you to take us away. Tilemetafora's maziki!".
Instantly, below us was a circle with a star shape in the middle. The circle shines from beneath us up into the sky. We saw nothing, only a glare-white light in our eyes. And without realizing it, we closed our own eyes.
We opened our eyes and saw that our place was different. We were in Goa but I don't know where. The breathing magic given by me to myself and my friends still works. We're doing just fine. We were in the mountain cave we were heading to.
We teleported close to the cave exit. We walked to the front of the cave and looked out. We really are in the mountains!
Before long, we looked up at us and saw the Water Dragon Leviathan above us. He doesn't feel threatened, he's still calm. I looked towards Tohka who was panting out of breath. He had run out of energy because of that.
"Good job, Tohka" said Artoria,
"Your magic was really good and useful. And thanks to you too, we are in the mountain unnoticed by its guard. This is commendable." explains Artoria,
"True Artoria. This action of yours is commendable." said Anna,
"Yes. Thank you." answered Tohka, please,
"And also we will count on you again after this is done huh!" I said,
"I'm grateful if I really helped you guys.",
"Then let's go. You still have it, Tohka?",
"Yes. I can do it if it's only a few hundred meters.",
"Then it's good.".
We walked into the deepest part of Goa. We do not know where this cave leads, but we believe that there is material in it that we are looking for.
We walked quite long. Tohka slowed down, the road was no longer balanced. As we walked in the heat, we heard a falling sound. *crush*. I, Anna, and Artoria who heard that looked back. We saw Tohka lying there with uncontrollable breath. We quickly ran towards Tohka, worried about her situation.
"Tohka!" call Anna.
When we got to where Tohka was lying down, we lowered our bodies.
"Tohka! You all right?" my many.
Tohka did not answer. His mouth was dry and breathing was out of control, of course he was not fine.
"It looks like Tohka can't continue the journey" Artoria said,
"Keep, how's this?!" my tofu, my,
".... Cih!.." muttered Artoria.
Artoria couldn't find an answer in this situation.
(Think! Not for Nakano's praise! For my friends! Think on! There must be a way out!) thought Artoria.
"Somebody has to take him out!" anna said firmly,
"But who?" my tofu, my,
"It's obvious, isn't it? You're the guy? Only you here can move fast and again if you are in the same condition as Tohka, not only me but everyone will die. We also need Tohka with her teleportation ability." Obviously Anna,
"But...",
"NO BUT! We are in an emergency situation. If you don't digest it well, trust me, Artoria, Tohka and lastly you'll die here!".
What Anna said was right. If I keep going in, I'll be in a situation like Tohka and if I do, the impact will be greater than Tohka. The four of us are going to die and it's my fault! I must obey Anna's words.
"All right!" I said firmly.
Anna smiled with a sharp look at me.
I was wearing a stick I used to carry to the ground. Two portals came out with one medium sword and one sword with a large blade. One of them went under my feet and the other one with the big blade went to Tohka's head. Tuck the blade carefully so as not to get hurt. The sword started flying and took me and Tohka away back to the beginning.
"Then let's go" said Anna,
"Yes. Come onl.".
And we split up there for the sake of each other.
