The World Of Game Systems
Chapter 51 - Against the Justice Sect ‘Victory One, Can It Grow A Thousand?’

The Aoi Syafiqi

A huge explosion appeared out of nowhere, concurrently the existence of Taka and one girl who were most likely part of the justice sect. But the conversation between the two of them really slapped my mind on the girl's purpose, whether the purpose was to use Zylx or just use it, it was still vague.

The important thing now is that I have to avoid as far as possible the source of the explosion, there is already a belief that Zylx is the exact source of the explosion.

The atmosphere of the dark hallway and the rumbling sound of rubble were heard accompanying my journey, the twists and turns unclear towards uncertain directions. Until a soft voice echoed in my heart, it was Mashiro's voice.

‘Aoi, can you listen to me?’

“Huh-hah? A mashiro? Whereabouts? Huh!?” I panicked for a moment and spread my eyes around.

‘No-no, you must be looking for me right now, right? This Contract Skill, just relax,’ reply directly with casual intonation, but it is completely non-free.

‘Like telepathy so, but why did he know I was frowning?’ batinku.

‘Omong-by, Aoi. Did you feel the explosion?’

“Ah, yes. Just this.”

‘You okay?’

“Nothing, I walked away from the source of that sound.”

‘So yes, thank goodness,’ concluded briefly then no more voices appeared.

“Just so? Basic, at least tell the cause of the explosion earlier or something.”

After that brief conversation, I continued to ponder the steps forward. I don't know what's gonna wait for me at the end, I'm ready for whatever it is.

Until the moment my gaze came to a slight gap of light radiating at the end of the hallway, dim enough when compared to the sunlight, making me think that it was artificial light or so on.

Know if this is still enemy territory, so I slowed down my pace a little. But, the four-leaf clover is not on my side now. Whether luck or luck, I accidentally kicked a piece of rock and caused the rocks to spurt forward.

‘Eh.’

Deftly, I immediately threw my body behind the pillar, of course with the intention of hiding my existence.

But there was no movement at all, even just silence all over my body. I've decided to stay longer, it might be a trap. But, the result is nil. Still the empty atmosphere was floating. So I decided to get out.

“Inclose.”.

I don't know the details of this empty room, but I certainly saw the shadow of one person. No, but it was two people approaching each other, like a cuddling pose. Next to him was a pile of stones.

“Kumarokun?”

True, the chunk of stone is a fragment of body structure belonging to the Mob Creature Azzi creation, Kumarokun. Na’as it can no longer be called stone creature if it has been destroyed apart like this.

But, something worse really immediately filled my sight.

‘Aoi, how are Taka and other parties?’ sahut Mashiro used telepathy again before, but I didn't care

“This is a lie? Mafal party member..”.

Not because of selfishness or resentment in me, I ignored Mashiro's words because my only teammate had fallen down with one of the enemies before him. Although his opponent also equated fate, but the fact of grief wrestled in my mind.

‘What do you mean Aoi?!’

“Syu Katsuya yes,” I said a moment ago looking at the indicator name.

Although I have no memories or time with him, true sadness is inevitable. Losing one on our side is the worst failure.

‘What's Aoi?!’

Again Mashiro's voice rang loudly in my mind, it was natural because I ignored it earlier.

“Nothing, one member of Party Mafal, no.”

‘Party Memorized? You mean the survivor part of the cage?’

“Ah, yes, can be called so.”

‘Death in war can not be denied anymore, as living beings, we can what,’

‘Then, conditions around there how?’

Simultaneously, I immediately spread my gaze all over the direction until the look at the end of the eye revealed everything. Starting from some sharp weapons around here and the remains of stones that are none other than Kumarokun body parts.

“There is nothing here, only the rest of them fight alone.”

Mashiro was silent for a moment, it seemed like she was thinking hard for the words she was going to say next.

‘With your thoughts, did the explosion just happen?’

According to Mashiro's words, I slowly held onto Shu's neck. The goal is to check body temperature. Everyone knows that, if a lifeless person is sure there is no blood that continues to move, and it causes his body to cool.

“No, it seems like from earlier, his body was cold, most likely was blood loss,” I obviously was short, giving a quick decision from the first glance I saw. The stab in the chest explained everything.

‘So yeah, so the explosion wasn't because of them.’

“Obviously, I told you I was away from the source of the explosion.”

“Do-don't-.”

Mashiro said cutting as well as giving a direct explanation of my thoughts. But, if it wasn't Zylx, who would it be? Even this room is empty without a life, except me.

‘Then Aoi, we meet at the source of the explosion,’ concluded Mashiro directly.

“Ha? There?”

Free, he seemed to have no longer connected to his telepathy. Really sucks.

“Mashiro?”

‘Sial..’

The Hoshizora Leora (Hoshizora Taka)

*Just after the explosion

“Inclose.”

“True, Kamigatsuchi,” timpal Ai along with continuing my words.

“Is this part of your plan as well? How do you know if there is someone who scoops the blessing of the fire god here?” ask me directly, realize if how rare a soul that has the blessing of a god.

“No, I don't know all Skill users here. But,”

“But?”

Ai was silent for a few seconds, I also followed her.

“I thought it would be like this.”

“So yes, can it be called the beginning or as a sign of our fight?”

“No-no, that's a sign of the battle of Zylx and your sister's peers, our fight is only starting now,” concluded Ai diambi gave a sweet little smile.

I do not know the success rate of the plan that we just run alone, whether it is victory or failure, moreover my actions using Taka's body may worsen the situation.

“We started from messing up this battle, Leora,” said Ai, but her voice dropped slowly, like there was a burden in every word.

Since I knew her for dozens, I realized the girl's awkwardness, so I tried to ask her how she was.

“Hei, Ai.”

“What's Leora-kun? Not after this our dreams are all realized?” lightly reply.

“Not so, but,”

“But what? It's okay, don't think of anything, we just focus on our goals.”

What an incredible power of communication, before he looked like he was holding back the emotions in his mind, but now it is easy to get rid of them. In fact, this time I was cornered by his emotions.

“Do not force yourself.”

“…”

Ai nodded, looking at me with round eyes and adorned with tears in her eyes. It was beautiful, but not in reality.

“Aren't I the one who should have told you that?” straightforwardly Ai, she was seen struggling trying to keep her tears unbearable.

“No, I've been fine all this time, so far you're the one trying hard.”

“Even you are willing for years to disguise yourself until you become Zylx's right hand just for the sake of all of us.”

“No,” concluded Ai flat.

“I do something based on my own wishes, I do not feel burdened by my decision. So-.”

“What's so? What exactly do you want? If you want to unite the Elf Race with the outside world, is killing Zylx not enough?”

“No,” answers directly, no change in his speech intonation.

“Then, what do you want?”

“…”

Ai bowed down, in that position, I knew how heavy the entire effort and burden she carried alone.

“You,” he said softly, I did not hear it a little, but the tears that were dripping on the floor showed how serious he was about to say that.

“My?”

Ai nodded her head, it seemed like her mouth was no longer able to be lifted because the heavy burden had been unable to hold her anymore.

“Tap.”

I stopped saying that, the girl knew for herself that I was gone. Only my memories and soul remain, neither will be enough to fulfill his wish.

“I know exactly, which is why I need the power of Zylx,”.

“Power of Zylx?”

Seriate…
