I opened my eyes slowly, when it was just a dark state that I saw. Seeing that made me think of things I hadn't thought of in a long time.
"Am I dead again?"
Dead for the third time? Ha! I can't believe that. I'm trying to remember what happened before I was in this dark place.
I remember, before I fainted? I, Yohan and Davian are doing the power sharing that I have, as my partner they can definitely accept that power. However, I did not think I even fell because of my strength that came out.
And finally, I was in this place.
Shit, I don't want to die anymore! Why am I dead again now!? It's very irritating.
"I have to get up and help the others, father, father will definitely become an evil demon if I know I'm dead."
I was still thinking about Kasumi saying that father would become an evil demon if I died, so I had to stay alive for the safety of the inner world.
"Did I die?"
"No, you're alive"
I turned around and saw a light, a bright light like a hint of goodness. Looking at the light, I ran and came closer to him.
But, someone pulled my hand away from that light. He led me into another light, irritated that I looked at the person who attracted me, he really did not know how to treat women!
"That hurts tau!"
I said, with an annoyed face. Seen there, Duke Cairo's face was looking at me with a similarly irritated look. Wait, why is he here?
"T..Mr Duke? Why are you here,"
I asked politely, Duke Cairo has already let go of my hand. He clucked softly while looking at me irritatedly, dih, I got so annoyed to see that face.
"Shiro told me to help you, you almost went straight into the afterlife do you know?"
I blinked my eyes a few times, and I stared at the light I was about to enter and pointed at it.
"You mean that?"
My question was brief, Duke Cairo immediately nodded confirming.
"Right, it's the door to the afterlife. The voice you heard earlier was the voice of the angel of death, in fact you did have to die but Shiro made a deal with the god of life so that your time becomes longer."
My legs did not hold the weight I had, I immediately sat down while grateful because I did not die really. Thank goodness, if master Duke is late just a little bit then I will die.
"But, who is Shiro?"
I asked about the unfamiliar name in my ears, duke Cairo looked at me for a moment then replied briefly.
"He's the real Kasumi, I told you that I have my own partner. It was Shiro, the real Kasumi was already reincarnated into Shiro whom I would marry later"
I frowned, confused and then asked again.
"Wait a minute, why is the real Kasumi reincarnated?"
"I can't explain that to you, which is definitely why I've always protected and helped you because he asked me to do it."
Duke Cairo explained it as if he was lazy to explain, I put on a sullen face. He is still stingy about information, well later I will know for myself anyway.
"So, what should I do now?"
"We're out of here,"
"How?"
Duke Cairo's finger pointed towards the front, I turned to look at the direction that Duke Cairo was pointing at.
My eyes immediately rounded perfectly when I saw the figure that Duke Cairo pointed at, my mouth even gaping in surprise.
"What is that thing!?"
Shouted me while pointing at the large black object that was in front of me, I don't know when it was there.
"That's your 'power' that you haven't fully taken. Well, your job is to 'perose' and 'tame' your powers and then go back to the real world."
I stared at the thing with a frightened look, my body even to the point of shaking from feeling a great power.
'was I that strong?'
I thought, in between that tense atmosphere. Duke Cairo slowly stepped back, then the protectors surrounded me and the black object.
I turned towards Duke Cairo who was already far behind me, wait a minute! Is he not going to help at all!?
As if reading my thoughts, Duke Cairo shouted.
"I'm not going to help you! Tame him yourself, spirit!"
I clenched my hands tightly, for some reason at the moment I really want to hit Duke Cairo. Is he kidding!? I can fight such a monster! His level of strength is different from the enemies I have always fought.
I turned around and looked back at the black thing, it slowly changed its shape.
He was transformed into a giant that had pitch-black horns, his face was creepy and his strength was enormous.
Many times I say if it's impossible, but if I don't beat him then the people out there are going to have a hard time and I can't help.
I took a deep breath trying to calm my own fear, then looked at the giant straight.
"If you are my strength, then you should easily submit to me. So, come here and fight me!"
I decided to wear a bow and golden arrow that I had not worn for a long time, the shape-shifting ring was still on my finger so I could use spirit power to defeat it.
'all right, let's start'
I gotta hurry up and get out of here.
...******...
The fight is still going on, Julius takes Zion away from the settlements of citizens in the territory of Cendric. Fortunately, some villages there have been evacuated so that not many residents are there.
"When do you want to buy time? I'm bored because you just keep holding on,"
Said Zion with his arrogant face, Julius just kept silent while continuing to survive the attack that Zion gave him.
From that moment on, they only attacked and defended, Julius continued to defend and did not counterattack Zion while Zion continued to attack Julius without caring about the surroundings.
Some trees have been victimized because of the explosion where Julius did, also the plants there have been turned into predatory plants belonging to Zion.
He deliberately makes the environment there to be like that, to narrow Julius's wiggle room and force him to destroy everything.
Zion grew tired of the fight, Julius did not attack her at all even though he was provoked and tried to make her angry, but the grandfather did not budge in the slightest and only defended his defense.
"Ck, attack me old man! You're not really that exciting!"
Zion shot towards Julius very quickly, he clenched his hand then punched Julius very hard, but Julius managed to create a white shield despite Zion's time when attacking very quickly.
"You're still holding on,"
Julius put on a smile, no, it was a grin that he rarely showed. Seeing the grin that made Zion raise her eyebrows confused, Julius seemed to be planning something and now is the time for him to carry out his plan.
"What are you planning?"
Zion asked as she continued to punch Julius' shield that was hard to break, even though it was made of ice but its surface was not at all fragile, in fact it was very strong.
Julius opened his mouth, looking at Zion.
"Because of you"
Zion flinched, then a magic circle was created under Zion's feet. Zion looked at Julius with a surprised look, then she laughed.
"Bwhahahahah! Fucking grandpa! You've prepared magic to seal half the power I've been struggling with!?"
It was beyond belief, Zion felt her strength disappear in half. He was almost perfect, but Julius managed to take half of his strength.
Not only did he not try to dodge, the rope of ice chains that pierced into his body suddenly appeared and it was clearly Julius.
He was silent from earlier to lure Zion closer towards him, also preparing a magic that ate this much mana. Julius must have made use of the mana of nature that he could use, therefore he only survived to save his mana.
"I may not be able to seal all your strength, but it's okay. You who have half the power will become easier to defeat."
Julius said, he still maintains his sir to seal Zion's power.
Instead of feeling upset and angry, Zion laughed again, making Julius confused.
He asked with an unhappy face.
"Why are you laughing?"
Zion lowered her face as she laughed, then she stood up and looked straight at Julius.
His gaze looked very condescending, he seemed to feel sorry for Julius who had clearly cornered him.
"You think how many lives I took to recover my strength? I used many lives, the lives of teenage women who had pure mana. And-"
He paused his speech for a moment, as he paused his words Julius felt the heat entering his body, when he was fine but suddenly he felt a burning feeling that was very painful.
Julius immediately fell down, he sat weakly while squeezing the chest that felt very burning.
While Zion was still staring at him, she closed one eye and continued her words that had been delayed.
"You don't think I wear darkness, do you? Actually, almost all of my strength can recover because of the darkness and dark magic I got from the corpses of the creatures I collected during these 4 months. You're a fool for taking it for granted, from a long time ago, a person who had the white attribute wouldn't match the black attribute. Hows it? You feel burning, right?"
Zion ended her speech with a gentle smile, but in Julius' eyes it looked like a cunning evil smile.
He was mistaken, Zion was already a traitor so getting where the darkness was was an easy thing for him, even though all the power he had in his body was recovered because of where the darkness was, he would not go crazy.
Zion, he's become darkness itself. Even his level of dark power felt abnormal.
