Humanity Return

Ch. 95 – Last Dreams and Completers

The tense atmosphere could be felt throughout the academy, even the entire city.

Whether consciously or not, the residents of this city could feel an overwhelming force being churned from the direction of the academy in the middle of that city.

The hundreds of people still inside the academy could clearly see the source of the tension, none other than the stadium in front of them all.

They all stood at various places in the academy and made an empty area of 300 meters in all directions from that stadium, while looking clearly at the rocks that began to fall and cracks that began to spread on the walls of the stadium.

“It looks like this... will end bad”.

Isaac stood in front of one of the groups of people waiting there, looking at the stadium that was starting to collapse.

He and the people in charge of maintaining the safety of this group had already taken the Mana regeneration enhancing drugs and regained some of their Mana, ready to react to the unexpected.

Behind him were two girls accompanied by various types of Beasts around them, looking extremely anxious.

“Roland..”.

The faint voice came out from Adeline's trembling lips, with tears almost coming out of her eyes.

He felt extremely uneasy when he saw the last expression on Roland's face he saw before leaving that stadium, an expression that showed pure excitement.

He could not understand what the reason was for enjoying the fight that had already reached the life and death stage without that reason.

“...”

Despite saying nothing, Aura also seemed to show the same expression.

He did not understand why the two young men who had met again after such a long time would fight until such an extent.

The two of them did not look interested in the gift, whereas their fame was already ascertained without the need to do so.

There were actually some people who could stop that fight before but for some different reason, they chose not to move.

So eventually their fight got to an unstoppable level before one of them fell.

And the two young men were now still standing motionless, showing shocked expressions on their faces.

Their eyes stopped at the same thing.

[...What's up?]

And what they saw showed a confused expression.

“This...really?”

Leinn was stunned as he looked at the girl standing next to him, with her entire body already trembling strongly, revealing her who was being shaken that once.

“Hah?! How did you not know this?”

Roland pointed at Leinn's face, looking in disbelief. Lightning jumped out and grabbed around him.

The purple mist around Leinn and the golden lightning on Roland's body were seen moving chaotically like their current feelings, confusion.

[What's the matter...hm?]

The girl finally regained her senses when she saw her hands, then her feet, realizing her white skin and the clothes on her body.

He started touching her face with his hands and in that instant, tears started to flow and fell to the ground.

With mixed feelings, Leinn reached out her right hand that was still shaking and touched the girl's face.

The girl let the young man touch her and put her hand on it, letting warm tears wash over the hand.

[Ka-]

The warm tears turned cold in an instant and the girl in front of him disappeared, making her right hand slide through the air and pass through the purple mist that replaced the girl's place.

A panicked expression appeared on Leinn's face and she attempted to touch the purple silhouette in front of him without success, with both of her hands swaying in the air without touching anything.

And he stopped.

“Leinn..”.

Roland looked at the tears streaming down his friend's face that was just staring at his right palm without saying anything, and the purple silhouette in front of him looked worried and tried to touch the young man without success.

The purple silhouette finally gave up and moved to the back of the young man and looked like it was hugging his neck on his back.

This blond young man felt that there was something strange about the scene in front of him.

The purple silhouette looked worried, it was quite obvious.

But Leinn...

“...”

Why doesn't he look sad?

“...haha..”

And of course.

“HAHAHA..!”

A laughter formed from pure excitement burst out from the tear-stained young man, shocking the purple silhouette on his back.

“So, are you ready?”

The two swords in Roland's grasp began to float beside him and he grabbed the last two rings at his waist. Bright rays began to shoot out from the two rings that began to turn into those two identical swords.

Leinn wiped away her tears with her left hand along with her outstretched right hand while letting out a purple mist.

The long purple sword on the ground quite far away from him started to float in the air and reached his grasp.

The two of them were in an imperfect state, only able to fight in that form for a few seconds, then they would not be able to move anymore.

If they didn't do anything though, they wouldn't have more than five minutes before being unable to move either.

This will be resolved with the next attack.

“Luna..”

A gentle expression could be seen on Leinn's face which extended her left hand to the purple silhouette which still looked puzzled.

The purple silhouette instantly reacted and floated into that open palm.

A purple fireball formed on that left hand.

“Hah..”.

A white steam filled with electricity shot out from Roland's mouth and both of his hands opened wide and let the two swords in his hands drift along with the other two swords around him.

His lightning armor began to look more and more real, followed by two long lightning bolts that appeared on his back.

“Three years ago..”.

“...under the Peach Tree it”

The two young men looked at each other, recalling the same old memories.

“I beat you”

Leinn smiled with his left hand clasping the sword eye in his right hand, making his hand begin to drain fresh blood.

The purple flames and blood flowing out spread throughout the sword in an instant, making the purple mist and red blood move and began to form something different with the sword.

“You beat me”

Roland shook his head with a smile and the two lightning bolts on his back turned into arms covered in armor, grasping the two swords hovering around him.

His two arms grasped the other two swords and began to flow a large amount of Lightning Mana into them.

“I get this name”

The purple-red fog finally turned into a huge black scythe with a purple blade and a red skull on its large hilt, which looked like it was laughing.

“You became his successor”

The four swords finally could not contain the ferocious lightning energy and broke out entirely, becoming metal fragments that formed four short lightning spears.

The look of the two of them meeting.

Not remembering the past, but looking at the present.

See their Rival.

Seeing a Friend.

“You achieved your crazy dream”

Both of his hands clasped the huge scythe tightly. His long purple robe fluttered and looked smouldering like hellfire, ready to swallow anything that touched it.

“You are approaching your mustah” dream

His four hands were grasping those short spears. His golden armor stopped flashing and became real, giving off a strong noble atmosphere.

Whoong...!

Thick energy burst out from the two youths.

Leinn began to look like he was dancing with his huge scythe and a purple and blood red skull started popping up around him.

Roland's four golden short spears started to float from his grasp and moved to fuse together, slowly forming one long lightning spear, which he had,

[My determination to reject the call of the god of death.].

A terrifying whispering voice could suddenly be heard not only by the blond-haired youth, but everyone who was still inside the academy.

[My determination to destroy whatever is in my way.].

The sound of whispers shook the entire academy, forcing the person who heard it to cover their painful ears.

Leinn stopped twisting his large scythe and he was already surrounded by dozens of skulls hovering around his sickle eyes, laughing.

Roland clasped the four-meter-long lightning spear in his right hand, which continued to emit a thunderous sound that was like it wanted to swallow him.

The two of them pulled back their gigantic weapons while taking one deep breath, and along with the swing of their hands, a shout came out.

[[It will not break.!].

And the world lost its color.
