For You This World I'll Destroy

Innocence Lost (2)

— 16 —

The dim light of the lamp illuminated the long white passageway. Cold air emerges from the ventilation cracks, cooling the body down to the bones. Even snow was slowly beginning to appear on both my eyebrows!

“D-Cold,” my murmur hugged my trembling hand while following the Dagger who stepped vigorously in front of me, “H-Hey, Dagger, isn't this a bad idea? Shouldn't we go back as soon as possible and tell Saber about our plan?” my many.

Dagger's eye was attached to his map and replied, “... The entrance from the sewer... The cooling room with a temperature below zero.

G-Gawat, if Dagger had smelled an ancient artifact, he would have left everything behind and focused on finding that item. Uhh, if this is the way, all I can do is protect Dagger.

“Sola Echo,” my murmur called warm-up magic to me and Dagger who was still busy with his map.

Suddenly I heard the laughter of the children, along with the chains being dragged. I looked back and forth but could not find the direction of the sound. Is it so cold that I hallucinate this passageway?

“Chrysant...” sounds a child calling me.

My eyes also saw the blonde boy smiling at me. He stood in front of a door that was sealed with various magic crystals. But just as it was exhaled by the wind, the child disappeared without a trace.

“Dagger, you saw the boy?” ask me to pinch my best friend's cheek so that he returns to the world.

“E-eeh? Th-yes? Uh.. Child?” answer the Dagger that sees around him, “You saw a ghost? It's just us here.”

“Where are the ghosts in this world,” my chirps that also approached the sealed door and touched it. Electric shock appeared to blow my hand violently, “It looks like a dead end. There's no way out, so it's time to go home, right, Dagger?” bargained.

“No, when else would I have a chance this close to the legendary Automachina! Especially if you know this city we will destroy,” said the stubborn Dagger who examined the door and analyzed it.

“Huh? The magic diagrams are complex and multi-layered, right, Kaszhania Algorithm... The seal that the Pathfinders use to lock up The Reaper?” dagger took the measuring calipers and started fiddling with the magic diagram formula there,

“...Subtituting alpha to sigma.. Cracking Administrator ID.... Firewall collapse.... Okay! This should be enough, Execute!” continue the girl.

A line of light appeared splitting the magic seal and breaking it. The eight magic crystals supporting the seal were dim and fell to the ground, lifelessly empty. Kupijit. Gosh, how I forgot, Dagger is the best magic diagram hacker in the Black Company.

“Well, now that all roadblocks are gone, let's continue our adventure, Chrysant?” kataDagger ruffled his waist with cocky. At a time like this I seemed to see the figure of Saber on him, really, Brother sister is a relationship full of miracles huh.

My breath, “If I don't agree, will you stop?” I said that pulled Dagger behind me, “If you keep insisting on continuing, stay behind me, okay?” my orders.

“Good, My reliable Bodyguard!”

God fucking.

I opened the door with the lights one by one illuminating the street. The light shows a row of broken glass tubes along the eye looking. Tethered complicated wires connect the entire tube to the main channel on the ceiling. I squinted my eyes at the familiar reddish-brown from the main channel on the ceiling. Isn't the stain very similar to blood?

“Subject 893..” muttered me while removing the dust covering the label name of one of the tubes, “Place....what is this?” my continue.

“Chrysant, come here!” shouted Dagger who turned out to have run somewhere. Ih, I told you to stay behind me, it's the stone head otaku.

But, I was stunned when I saw the tube that Dagger had found. Entirely immaculate, the tube was filled with a glowing, clear yellow liquid. In it, fell asleep the figure of a dark child embracing him. Various wires ran down his back, sucking his blood towards the main channel.

“Thickness... Malice?” I said that touched the glass tube and in a flash, various images stuck in my mind.

The researchers, in their clean white lab coats, carefully recorded the status of all the tubes in the room that were intact. One of those researchers was a woman with long golden hair, glancing at me with her sapphire eyes.

Lady Luciel.The woman's name, stopped in front of me. He reached me, but his hand was blocked by a glass tube. Clearly I could see her thick eye bags as her bitter smile warped.

“I'll soon reach for you, Ideal White..”

UGHHHH!! My moaning is withstanding my intense head pain. I stumbled over the cable and fell onto the control board. Noise also appeared as the yellow ray of light from the tube fluid slowly disappeared.

I-I-Remember who just showed up? Why does everything feel so familiar? That name too.. Lady Luciel, where do I hear it often?

“Chrysant, are you okay?” ask Dagger who grabbed me with worry, “Your headache relapses again? I have brought the medicine that Sera always gave to you,” he continued who also took a pill from his big bag and a drinking bottle.

Slowly the effect of the drug was working, fading the pain like being hit by the ax. my breath relief when my legs can stand back. Tears still battered my eyes, but blurred, I saw that black Malice opened her blue eyes.

Along with the rupture of the glass tube, I pulled out my two blades, welcoming Malice who removed the entire cable on her body and walked out. He looked at me with blue eyes that make goosebumps, then smiled.

“Chrysant... you are back.”.

TUSK!!

A spear struck Malice's heart and lifted him helpless. Opened the mouth of Malice who wanted to scream, but blood had flooded her vocal cords. From behind Malice's body, I could see the red cloak of the witch with the hideous skull mask.

Khanzas.

“Chrysant... Please.. me...” said Malice was trying to reach me. A hint of darkness faded from his body, revealing the figure of a boy smiling at me in the hallway earlier. But Khanza immediately pulled out his spear and then slashed Malice at lightning speed until there was nothing left.

“It turns out, you are hiding here apparently, Subject 970,” said Khanza who took Magicite which became Malice's heart. Red butterflies emerged from the Magicite, flew around Khanza and disappeared.

The witch took off her skull mask and said hello, “Waduh, if fate continues to bring us together like this, can we match Chrysant?”

“Omong empty. Why are you here, Khanza?” I'm trying to protect Dagger from those dangerous monsters.

Khanza chuckles, “Serem, serem. Chrysant is very bad. If asked why, of course to beat Emilia,” he said.

“T-T-So, M-M-Malice's... m-m-be human, right?” ask Dagger with trembling hands, “T-T-But doesn't that make no sense. Malice... and human, they are not one—“

“Loh, isn't that natural? Malice is an imperfect being born of human desire. Like a child wants to imitate both parents, is it wrong Malice tried to be tangible like humanity who gave birth to it?” reprimand the Khanza who cleared his spear and chuckled,

“Isn't that the illusion that Black Company has instilled in you since childhood?” he continued, who turned around.

“Wait! What did you mean?” my yelling.

Khanza stopped his steps and looked at me with a cynical smile, “You really want to break that illusion, hmm?” he said that he also called for a giant black ice that shot down a tube and destroyed the concrete wall in front of him.

Red light was seen behind the concrete rubble, along with an aura of darkness that burst out. In it, I could see many dark figures worshiping the red light. They clasped hands, as if praying to a Goddess.

“Once you see the truth, your world will change, Chrysant. You still have the choice to step back and live a lie, but if you want to taste the truth, go into that room,” said Khanza who reached out to me,

“Optional d your hand, Chrysanthemum.”
