Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 111

[Final Arc - #13]

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

"What's? No way! You must be lying, right? He won't be defeated that easily!" Darkzero tried to deny. But still, it cannot change reality.

The empty hand of Araya now holds the heirloom sword. Walking closer to Darkzero who now seemed to have been shocked.

TRINGS!

Araya drops the two to distract Darkzero. Well, the creature's focus was on the sword. At that moment, he was caught off guard. Araya— and Shiroi— utilized Darkzero's negligence to give him a counterattack.

BUACH! BRACKET! BRACKET!

In a single blow, Darkzero finally fell to his knees. Not until there, Shiroi who controls Araya's body trampled it until there is a trace on the ground. The blow was extremely strong, it could even make Darkzero's armor crack.

"FUCKING SHIT! I WON'T HOLD MYSELF BACK ANYMORE!" Darkzero started to get emotional. He blocked Araya's right leg and wanted to pull it so that it would fall.

"Please take it."

Araya moved her legs until she was raised a little high. It automatically makes Darkzero immediately slammed a few meters away.

That easy to drop?

The two people watching it were made to gape. They have never overwhelmed Darkzero. Let alone overwhelming him, seeing something like this was their first time.

My body felt crumpled, Araya thought as she felt pain and tenderness in her hands and feet.

Shiroi did not know that. All he knew was 'Araya was fine as he told her to take over this body'. He also did not want to tell Shiroi, as he thought it would only mess with his plans.

"Captain, are we silent? Araya's not okay now." Zaaryan was still watching from a distance. He was worried because suddenly Araya could be that strong, but before that it was not.

"I think he's okay. He must have a plan, too. All we need to do is wait and watch until the plan is realized."

Zaaryan just sighed. He actually could not bear to let him fight Darkzero alone. However, he remembered the difference in strength between them. If he followed along, then he would only be a burden, he thought.

"Wait, the dimensional gate starts closing?" chirp Captain Akira while directing his gaze towards the north. The dimensional gate that had been opened, slowly closed.

"Captain's right! The gate's closing. If it really closes, will we get stuck here?"

"depends. I thought it would take another fifteen minutes to be able to close such a big gate. So—"

"Captain, sorry I just called you. I want to tell you something very important!"

"What's up, Dae-Vin?"

"I managed to create a tool to close the dimensional gate, almost permanently. And now the gate's closing. Is there anyone else there?" ask Dae-Vin from across the street. His gaze was fixed on the Darkness dimension that would soon disappear from his sight.

"It's just me, Zaaryan and Araya."

"Please get back soon. The gate will be closed in ten minutes."

"Yes, just wait. We'll be right back."

The call was terminated. It turns out that Captain Akira's estimate was wrong. The gate will close faster than he expected.

"What's up, Captain?" Zaaryan asked.

"The gate of its dimensions will soon be closed. We have to get out of here." His eyes are on Araya, "but we can't leave her either."

"I thought we could give him five more minutes?"

"Good idea."

Five minutes passed. Darkzero has not lost. The attacks are even more so. Likewise with Araya, although his energy continues to decrease, his attacks do not weaken. And Araya, too, did not realize that the dimensional gate was half closed.

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

"Rilsey!" Henry called him, "why haven't they returned yet? You called him, didn't you?" the man was standing right in front of him.

Dae-Vin sighed, "I've contacted them. They said they'd be back soon, but they haven't come yet. And in forty seconds, the gate will be completely closed. If it's closed, they won't be able to get out even using teleportation." Dae-Vin explains his grievances.

"All we need to do is follow to there and—"

"Time will not be enough! Thirty seconds is enough?!" Dae-Vin says a little 'highs'. Then, he slightly lowered his head, "Sorry."

"I understand how you feel. They must have—" again Henry did not continue his sentence. His essence was fixed on some people who had just arrived. In fact, there was already Arga and Axel who wanted to help them.

"Hey, look!" Henry pats Dae-Vin on the shoulder, raising his chin briefly. Without warning, he immediately ran there.

For a moment Dae-Vin was silent. He was stunned, still unable to believe what he saw.

Now, the dimensional gate had completely closed. He must immediately take care of his 'lock' so that the dimensional gate does not open again. He immediately set the password and gave it a little effect of his element so that the object is not detected by man-made tools and machines.

"Finally it's sorted out" he said briefly. He still hasn't left that place. Dae-Vin buries the device in the ground, and hoards it so that its existence is unknown.

"Dae-Vin, you almost forgot something" Kyoya said suddenly. Dae-Vin stands up soon.

"You're right! I have to go there." The now seventeen-year-old man immediately ran towards his comrades.

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

Araya slowly opened her eyes, letting the light of the lights enter her sense of sight. He blinked. Only then does he know where he is now. Health room.

He tried to move his body. It feels so stiff. Not to mention there were many bandages covering his hands and feet.

His gaze was fixed on a man who fell asleep with a sitting position and his head bowed and was on top of the gurney. Araya knows the man.

The man immediately opened his eyes after sensing that Araya was moving. He quickly woke up and looked at someone he hoped would soon wake up.

"Arya?" Dae-Vin looks at him in disbelief. "This is really you? I didn't dream, did I?"

Araya just smiled faintly. His head still hurts when he moves. Dae-Vin pats her cheek—until there's a trace of his hand—he still can't believe that Araya's been kissed.

"The Sleeping Princess has finally woken up."

"What's going on?" Araya tried to make a sound. After some time he fell asleep, his jaw was a little stiff when made to talk.

"You ... defeated Darkzero at the last moment."

Araya is silent at Dae-Vin's words. Defeat? Is that true?

"really? Then why am I here?" Araya tries to sit himself down. His body was sore because he had slept for a long time.

"After the incident, your body was very hot. Even your armor can't be removed." Dae-Vin pauses his sentence. "But I can put you back in human form, and cool you down" he explained.

At that time, the temperature of the Araya armor exceeded the temperature of the boiling point.156 degrees Celsius more precisely. Such a high temperature, he couldn't last much longer. Then, the armor must be removed. However, the state of his errant transformation tool made it difficult to do so. In the end, Dae-Vin uses his water element to cool it down before it is transformed into a human form. That's how it happened.

"How long have I been here?"

"Seventy-six days, eighteen hours, twenty-nine minutes, fifteen seconds." Dae-Vin answers his question in such detail. He was there, he had prepared everything to be asked many questions by Araya.

"I'm so grateful you survived." the man smiled sweetly. This was the first time Araya had seen him smile like this. He felt his body temperature rise again.

...—Tamat—...
