For You This World I'll Destroy

Desert Lion's

— 21 —

A red light shone on the rubble of the building. The more I approached it the more I realized that the red light was a tower, composed of thousands of human flesh trying to reach a red crystal at its top. The worshipers of the tower had been destroyed along with the rubble of the building, leaving it alone standing in the middle of the ravine of Junon city.

“Wow, even after being overwritten by such tons of weight, this red tower still stands majestically yes,” said Khanza stopped and was amazed to see the tower. He pulled out his ice dagger spear and slashed the tower .But the ice spear broke and pushed Malice away from him.

“Oi,oi, Emilia, after millennials have not met me, you refuse to at least say hello to Khanza? … Even after injecting yourself with Warden Cells, you never change. You are still a selfish witch who is willing to hurt others for your purposes.” asked Malice who also laughed cynically. Suddenly Malice jumped and kicked the tower very strongly,

“Stop being stubborn and give me your Chalice, Emilia Fairchild!” shouted Khanza.

Air shock appeared to vanish the power of the Khanza that the tower had condensed. But standing firm, the tower arrogantly showed us its determination. While patting the dust on his thigh, Khanza took a seat at the head of the statue of the Goddess and his chin-backed stare at the tower.

“Well, as you saw yourself, that's your truth, Chrysant,” Khanza said.

“H-Ha? T-T-Wait a minute, I don't understand anything. All I heard was that Princess Emilia had injected herself with Warden Cell and became the tower. But all I ask is who I really am!” my reprimands are shuffling the waist.

Khanza took off his mask and just smiled at me.

yep, that one's a bummer. Glad to make someone else dizzy? I penetrated my poniku and approached the tower. Ugh, the more I see it, the more nauseous I get. The tower was pierced from human flesh, which seemed to desperately reach for something. After I saw it close, the human faces were very similar to mine. Suddenly there was an urge within me to touch her, but—

DUG!!

My mind is like being attacked by thousands of pieces of information I don't understand. Only two fractures could I take away from the noise that was upon the ear.

“As long as you live... We will win..”.

“Remember .. Magic is a lie. Real world enemies—!“

The Seraphina necklace shone brightly, releasing a magical aura that freed me from the Red Tower's grasp. Cold sweat poured out on my body, my heart was racing, all my hair was goosebumps. It was as if I were looking at death itself.

“Interesting. I thought Chrysant would eat that tower, like any other Chalice. But it seems, the Chrysant necklace has a power hated by Emilia,” said Khanza who also grabbed my necklace and checked it, “Ah, this magic energy. The witch. Basic, to what extent did he see it all?” khanza.

When Khanza showed the fire crystal in the necklace to the Red Tower, “Remember, magic is a lie. The real enemy of the world is Ideal White!” said.

… Ha? Just now she—

Suddenly the tower became agitated. There was a cry of fear which then moved the hands away from Khanza. A glass tube was also seen in the middle, showing the figure of a brown-haired woman sleeping inside. The woman's hand grasping a red heart-shaped crystal away from the diamond crystal gnawed at her body ferociously, which slowly approached her heart.

PRANGS!!

With a big smile, Khanza slashed at the glass tube, vaporizing the yellow liquid inside. Then he smashed his ice spear, and greeted the brown haired woman in his arms. Gently, Khanza patted the woman on the back and said,

“That's enough, Mother. With Khanza here, Ideal White will never pollute you again. For example, I am your son who always disappoint.at least even a little, allow Khanza can bear the burden of your obsession.”.

Blue butterflies emerged from Emilia's body, breaking her body into a beautiful light with the whole red direction. Tears flowed from Khanza in a smile that did not match his emotions. But those eyes opened wide, as the brown-haired woman hugged Khanza and said,

“You...CH001? No... You are the youngest, Khanza.. Sorry Mama has brought you to this world..”.

Emilia's body was crushed into a beautiful blue butterfly wave. Uniting into a typhoon, they flocked to the surface and touched the sky of darkness. And with him, a white ray of light appeared to strike the entire super-radical blizzard and bring the light of the blue sky back to the world. Khanza saw all of that without blinking a single moment, with his hands grasping the red crystal of Emilia's.

“So that memory... You are the first homunculus created by Princess Emilia?” my many.

Khanza laughed, “I am the first, also the twentieth, also the hundredth, and so on. I am Khanza, Subject 9669, but also Vandal, subject 789 and Kevin, subject 893. Inside this limited brain of mine. I tied the memory of the 9669 Homunculus created by Emilia,” said Malice who approached me and patted me on the shoulder,

“Except you, Subject 3 most resembles the original. Chrysanthemum,” he continued.

“Are....you going to kill me like everyone else?” tanyaku grasped the handle of my dagger was-was.

“Maybe, one day, Hihihi,” her candle that also draped the Seraphina pendant around my neck.

“... Will I end up like CH001 and other subjects. Will one day I lose my humanity and become.. .Malyce? Will I one day become a monster that hurts the people I love in my life?” my many.

“Duh, so many questions. Emang Khanza Mbah Gugel, you know everything? At the moment Khanza is dizzy, lacking glucose. After Chrysant bought me ramen, Khanza just had a lot of thought. Anyway, the most important thing right now is Khanza is hungry!” he said that patted my back hard.

“Jawab me!” yells annoyed.

The smile on Khanza's face disappeared. He sighed and looked at me coldly, “You already know the answer,” he said who also led me through the rubble of the building.

Between the broken power poles and the collapsed bridge, I could see Saber's broken red sword there. But there was no trace of the man anywhere I looked for him.

“He told Chrysant, that he was also a White Order guinea pig, injected with Warden's cell, right? The power he used to protect you has a very expensive fee,” said Khanza who saw the hot sun in the sky, “… looking forward to devouring the living and depriving them of their humanity.”

“Hmph, that pain is your pay when using Ignition Berserker. Remember the pain so you will never use it again.”.

“Cause.. The more often you use it, you will lose your humanity.”

I keep my mouth in disbelief, for my sake. Saber has—.

“Intinya, provided you do not use Ignition Switch more than 3 times. Warden cells in your body will not eat away at your body, Chrysant,” Khanza said.

“But... If Khanza is also the subject of Emilia's research, why, you don't attack other humans?”

“Loh, can you believe I'm a Malice?”

“Ha?”

Khanza laughed out loud and took a badge from his pocket. An eagle-shaped badge owned by a Pathfinder. Glared at me seeing it.

“Hahahaha! Chrysant is funny. You're too innocent until I've been able to work many times. Therefore, if there is a meeting or meeting of the Pathfinder, come dong. After all the Prince is very gookil, when he did not say anything to you?” khanza said, patting his chest and saluting a Hunter to me,

“Include Ruin Hunter, I am Khanza Leilani Nadjana, but maybe you know my Code Name, ahem. The oldest Pathfinder in Black Company!”

“HA??! WHAT DO YOU SAY FUCKING WITCH?!”

— + —

The airport hangar let go of all the weariness inside me. Seeing the group of Hunters and researchers there makes my heart relieved. Aaah, finally, after this long day I can escape from the laughter and frown of Khanza!

“Chrysant!!!” shouted Dagger who also ran and hugged me tightly, “Why do you always gini. Threatening yourself for others. Ih, you don't know how worried I made you, huh?!” she said that then pinched the width of both my cheeks wide.

“A-A-Ampyuuun, a-auuu will not admit it again kok” asked me.

Khanza laughs amusedly, “That's important right, now Chrysant healthy walafiat. You can let go, Dagger,” he said.

“Loh, Khanza also tag along?” ask Dagger.

Wait, oh right too. Kan Dagger is a subordinate of Khanza, how could the girl not know his superior, right? Oh, my God, that witch tricked me again.

“Eh, Dagger, you know, this one crazy witch, said she was the Desert Lion. Can't possibly?” I said.

“Paathfinder Nadja, but. she has already—“ said Dagger who suddenly glared and saluted Khanza, who had been wearing a long white-haired lion mask, who had been wearing a white-haired lion mask,

“Our respect, Mentari Black Company, Desert Lion!” nervous screams.

“H-Ha? No way, you really..”.

Khanza did not reply and saluted the girl, hinting her to rest. From his back he also gave Saber's broken sword to his sister. Seeing him, Dagger bit his lip.

Hugging the sword tightly, Dagger said with a trembling voice, “Thank you.

Khanza patted Dagger on the shoulder with calm, then nodded at me, as if asking me to comfort Dagger. Don't ask for it, I must have done it, you know. But, the Witch flicked her red cloak and left us for her expedition team. He proudly showed his men, the greatest treasure of the expedition in his hands. Red crystals that have unlimited energy. Quartz Moon.

… Yes Dewiku, Khanza is really the Desert Lion!

“... Not only fulfill our mission, technically, no one died in this expedition. The witch, the Desert Lion is truly a great Pathfinder.” said the Dagger who tightly hugged the sword, “But... Although Saber is still alive... Is the sacrifice of the knight in vain?” ask the confused Dagger.

Shaking my head I held my chest and looked up at the sky, “... This life he has saved, though everyone forgets it, I will remember it,” I said grasping the hands of a crying Dagger.

… Haah, this mission feels very long. There are a lot of questions still left in my head. There are some truths that I would like to take as a lie. But, even though I got it from that damn Witch, I found a treasure that was more precious than the Moon Quartz. Words that are now a lantern in my heart.

“... When you will choose to protect your loved ones or save this world. You will not regret choosing your heart,” I murmured to the sky.

Wait for me Saber.One day, I will prove those words to you.

I'm gonna save you.
