Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 104's

[Final Arc - #6]

...----------------...

Not far from the location of the establishment of the headquarters of the Darkness organization, Araya's body stood sculpted with closed eyes. Well, his soul is in the illusion of Darkness along with Darkzero.

It's been going on for about ten minutes. Several times his body was attacked by the Darkness Swordman who happened to pass by. However, his attacks had no effect at all.

"Hey, are you okay?" asked a man—not Kim Dae-Vin—after seeing Araya who felt a little abnormal.

Araya's body did not respond to anything. The man tried to resuscitate her, but it didn't work at all.

"Park Hana? Who exactly is this kid? How did he get here? And ... why is he so strong?" mumbled wondering. He had already noticed the armband that was still attached to Araya's left arm. Only her name remained, while the Asian elemental emblem had been removed since the organization was merged.

Actually, that man was Arga, Araya's father. He did not know that the child in front of him was his daughter.

"Arya!" this time, a young man came to where the two of them were. Still with the black dominant armor, Dae-Vin slowed down his footsteps after seeing someone else in front of Araya.

"Hey, what did you call him?" ask Arga to make sure that his hearing is not wrong after being sealed for years.

"I call him Araya. Dan, who are you?" Dae-Vin asks Arga while putting a dislike look behind his protective armor. Well, he also did not know that the man was the father of his partner.

"the araya? What's his full name?" ask Arga again.

"Why are you so curious? This is none of your business." said Dae-Vin, who may seem disrespectful.

"This will be my business once you tell me his full name. If you can, tell me his identity as well." Arga had a serious expression. Dae-Vin exhales in annoyance.

"His name is Araya Putri. He wants fourteen years old. He is Indonesian. She was the youngest daughter of a seventh generation Elemental member named Arga." Dae-Vin explains, hoping that the person is satisfied and he gets his business done soon.

"the araya? Is he really Araya? Geez, it turns out that my daughter is this big." certainly Arga was very surprised to hear Dae-Vin's words about Araya. The look on Araya's face that she felt was still 'similar' like the last time she saw it.

Wait, what? The princess? Couldn't he be ... his father? Thought Dae-Vin thought.

"Actually, who are you?" ask Dae-Vin at last. He was actually embarrassed by this. He spoke impolitely and seemed to assume that the man in front of him was a bad person.

"I'm his father. I'm Arga."

Well, I'm done.

Now, Dae-Vin's shame has reached the top. If you do not wear armor, you can see his face red because it is very embarrassed. Positive thinking should be prioritized so as not to end in misunderstanding.

"M—maaf. I really don't know. I'm sorry." closing his eyes, Dae-Vin bows himself to apologize.

While Arga put up a thin grin to see his friend Araya who he thinks is 'funny'. "Yes, it's okay. It's just natural."

...----------------...

"Eh? You can find me. It's great" Darkzero said after Araya found him behind a large tree.

At first, Araya did not respond to anything. He walked two steps back and said, "Get me out of here" he said with a still-flat tone and gaze.

"Don't dream! If you want to get out of here, beat me first."

"Alright, I will defeat you" Araya said as she clenched her hands together. Slowly, a black and white aura began to be seen from both of the transformation tools he was wearing.

"It's not exciting if we're directly dueled. How about playing a game?"

Araya immediately pulled back her hand. "What game?" araya's current goal is only to be able to get out of the illusionary dimension. After that, he had a new purpose.

"Well, you're interested apparently. All right, the game title is 'Take Soul'. Interesting, right?" Darkzero spoke while playing his fingers.

"The rules are pretty easy. There will be two teams. Each team has seven people."

"If it's seven people, who's a member of my team?" Araya interrupts Darkzero before he returns.

"Oh yes." Darkzero changed his position. And …

CTAK!

"Eh, isn't that Park Hana?"

That voice, instantly made Araya turn back, looking at those people with a look of disbelief.

"you guys? How—Darkzero." Araya bit her lower lip, looking at Darkzero with a look of hatred.

This should not involve them, he thought as he looked at Darkzero who displayed a stingy expression through the movements of his body.

Behind him, there were six of his comrades from various squads. There's Hanny, Ivany, Jeasson, Gifa, Brian, last there's Kenneth. They were all there a split second after Darkzero snapped his finger.

"Well, I'll start explaining the rules. You must work together to protect your souls, lest the other side take them. The one whose soul is taken away, will be directly expelled from this dimension. The team with the most remaining members is the winner." Darkzero.

This game is very risky. The one whose soul was taken away would lose and directly come out of the illusion and the Darkness dimension. However, would they still be alive if in the game his soul managed to be taken and out of the dimension? That's an unanswered question.

The loser's gonna get out of here? Do I have to lose to get out? No, not necessarily what is issued will still live. Darkzero is cruel, Araya thought. He does not want any more victims in this tragedy. It's enough he saw a friend— which is considered very valuable—tortured because of Darkzero.

"The game starts in ten minutes. Please you guys negotiate first, while I'll call my squad." Darkzero disappeared from that place. He will be back in a few minutes.

In that place, there were seven of them. Araya turned around and looked at her friends.

"Park Hana, are you okay?" hanny asked with a worried expression. Hanny hasn't seen him since Araya disappeared.

Araya nodded, "Yes, what about you guys?"

They are all in human mode. The expressions of each of them are clear. Some are scared, some are confused, and some look desperate.

"We're fine." Jeasson said after seeing friends who were still healthy without any injuries—though they were quite tired after fighting Darkness Swordman earlier.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have involved you" Araya's tone sounded regretful. He considers himself reckless and immediately accepted the game invitation from Darkzero who is already known to be an evil creature.

"Let's calm Park Hana, don't worry too much about it" Ivany said as she patted Araya on the shoulder, trying to make her better even though she herself wasn't feeling well.

"Yes, we'll try hard to help you." Brian. She smiles. Actually it was just a mask to cover up his anxious feelings instead of playing. He has a history of anxiety syndrome.

"But .. I'm afraid that you're—" Araya bowed, not daring to look at her comrades. He was filled with guilt.

"Don't worry. If anyone loses, promise the living will have to survive. Don't lose!" Hanny cheered. He felt that he would be the first to lose.

**To be continued …

Who do you think will lose first?
