[Final Arc - #8]
...----------------...
Why does my head hurt so much, Araya said in her heart after feeling intense pain in her head. He was not hurt at all, but it felt like he had been beaten.
"Araya, why?" hanny asked as she approached the bowed Araya holding her head with her right hand. His left hand held two swords at once.
"My head ... suddenly hurt." Araya closed her eyes, trying to endure the aches and pains that suddenly attacked her.
"Hey, Araya, wake up! We can't keep going in there! Come back!"
"Araya, hurry back! We're waiting for you!"
Faintly Araya heard the voice. The pain in his head increased when the voices sounded— in his mind.
"Cih, not yet dizzy. You must have thought too much. Then why not just give up?" mocked Darkzero while looking down on Araya.
Araya stood up again, passing one of the swords on his right hand. "Heh, do you realize who you have been giving advice to give up? I'm not giving up."
"Oh yeah? I can't believe it."
WUSH OFF!
Darkzero moved at lightning speed, and then returned to his original position. "Look, now it's just you alone." Darkzero pointed towards the scoreboard. Araya looked there to make sure.
"A—pa?" Araya did not believe what she saw. Darkzero's squad is still intact, while the other squad lives only on its own.
And now, Araya had been surrounded with seven Darkness Swordmen who were preparing to attack him.
"If I lose, then I'll be able to get out too right?" Araya asked, she pretended to be fine even though she felt very guilty.
"will not. You still can't get out of here even if you lose." Darkzero replied still in the same tone.
"Park Hana, the sword has been modified" Zack chirped that immediately gave rise to a glimmer of hope for Araya to get out. The two swords that were still in his hand he held tightly.
I'll use the Rigel element to make it faster. It's up to what's going to happen with my body, she thought as she drew up a new plan.
But, if the two of them added error how? I have to think, Araya thought hard to consider her decision so that no repercussions could harm her.
"You want to use Rigel elements?" asked Shiroi suddenly. The concentration of Araya instantly collapsed.
Araya nodded softly as she muttered, "Yes."
"All right, I don't mind. I think that error is only when in the world of illusion, in the real world is actually not error. Are you an existence, Zack?"
"I don't mind. As long as this helps, I'll do whatever it takes to protect Park Hana" Zack said. He remembers Steve's last message to him. He will not disappoint a friend who has been with him for a year.
"All right."

"Eum … "
"Hey, are you okay?" asked Arga when Araya had just opened her eyes. His body lay on the lap of the man who had the status of 'his father.
His eyes widened to see who caught his gaze. Araya immediately stood up, then looked around to look for the whereabouts of Darkzero. His movements were similar to that of a delirious fellow.
Araya turned around, looking at the man. "Who are you?" Araya asked back while putting on a cautious attitude. He still did not know that the person in front of him was his father.
"You'll find out soon." Arga replies casually.
Without saying anything else, Araya turned back and then left her alone. Dae-vin? He was going around to find out if there was another Darkness Swordman that was the same level as Darkzero. Well, indeed only one percent of the total number of Darkness Swordmen reached level one.
"Why didn't I use the Rigel element so as not to waste time. Oh yea! How are things going, huh?" while running without knowing the direction, Araya muttered.
"Attay, Araya. I'm still looking for information." Shiroi replied, the system was trying to find information as clearly as possible about the condition of their colleagues.
A few seconds later, the information he was waiting for was only heard. The shocking information.
"They're all dying! Some of the other members who saw him immediately took him to the headquarters for the medical personnel to handle." Shiroi quickly informed the information he had just obtained.
Hearing that, Araya's footsteps stopped. "What?" he muttered in a very slow voice—nearly inaudible.
"Again .. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been careless about accepting that game. I should have just—" Araya did not continue her words. Both of his hands clenched tightly as his tears began to melt.
His hands shook, his eyes began to close. Not long after, he opened his eyes again. This time, the color of her iris changed. What was once a dark brown color, is now a bright red color.
Just a second after he opened his eyes, the surrounding transparent circular wall surrounded him and expanded. Whatever's in it can't get out. Including Darkzero whom he was aiming to kill.
Elsewhere, it is still inside the transparent walls that Araya made. All the Elemental members as well as the Darkness Swordman who was there lost their consciousness. This was the effect, which was not strong in the face of the pressure and waves from that wall, would instantly lose consciousness.
"It turns out to run here." while setting his feet on the ground, Darkzero said arrogantly while looking down on Araya, while Araya just put on his flat face.
Araya said nothing. Both heirloom swords suddenly appeared in both of his hands, as if in his heart Araya had already called out to him.
The color of his sword also changed to somewhat reddish-black. The Rigel element is getting stronger. Much stronger than before. There was a flash of red lightning around the blade of his sword, indicating how strong and hot the sword was.
"Heh, you're still not strong enough to beat me, son." Darkzero said by emphasizing the word 'still'.
SHUU! JLB!
The sword that Araya had been holding with her right hand, could float by itself, then move at high speed towards Darkzero. And lastly, the sword stuck on the wall of the building not far from there—because Darkzero had dodged.
"Hehe, just relax." Darkzero sighed, then he returned to his original position. "If you want to win, you don't have to rush or you'll miss some important things."
Araya didn't respond. His right hand stretched out, the sword that had been stuck on the wall instantly returned to his grasp.
In front of him, Darkzero rubbed his palms like a cold person. Then, he crossed his fingers.
The pressure in the atmosphere felt different. It feels heavier than before. Darkzero stared at the already dark sky.
The normally dark sky was lit by meteors that would soon fall right at the location where they stood. Darkzero had planned this.
"Haha! You're not gonna get away. Even if you run, the impact of this asteroid will still hit you" Darkzero said in a proud tone as if he had won.
"If I can't run, then .. I won't run." Araya spoke in a relaxed tone. Such a thing was nothing to her that was different from before. "A normal attack like that won't get to me."
