I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 22: DEATH AND LIFE
"Uncle Nors-" said Rolir in tears, the bitterness of his voice could be heard. He already considered Nors as his own father, without the help of Nors then he might have difficulty defending the Tiger Man City in the past.
"Grandfather! No way! This must be a lie! Grandpa, open your eyes! Don't leave me alone! I only have a grandfather, so don't leave me here, grandfather! Grandfather!", cried Grandfather Nors who ran towards his grandfather's body lying weakly on the bed.
He tried to move his grandfather's body, but Nors' grandfather never opened his eyes.
Neither the healer nor Rolir stopped the movement of the little boy, they knew that Nors' grandfather's grandson needed some time before he could accept this fact because Nors' grandfather was the last family he had.
In the end, Tegir and Ilina never opened the door of the house. They were just standing at the door with sad faces, even Tegir had already cried first.
"Grandfather Nors!", said Tegir and Ilina, the tears on their faces could not stop falling which showed how close they were to this Nors grandfather.
Elos and Riona just stood to the side, they knew that there was nothing they could do now. The sound of the cries and screams of a grandchild trying to call his grandfather continued to be heard, but no matter how loud the granddaughter's cries were then the grandfather simply did not open his eyes anymore.
"Why did the person foretold never show up?" said Elos in anger, at least as long as the person foretold had appeared then Nors' grandfather could fulfill his final goal of seeing the person foretold before death.
When Elos is affected by the anger and sadness around him, he feels his consciousness is disappearing.
...----------------...
Elos opened his eyes to find that he was in a tube, there were 2 people standing in front of the tube where he was but Elos could not see clearly the figure of 2 people.
Elos tried to speak, but his voice could not appear at all, even realizing that he could not move.
In the midst of Elos' confusion, 2 people in front of the tube where he was talking "Are you crazy? Combining the life force of mine and the death of mine into the body of this robot? I didn't mind you making a lot of robots, but this time it's different! If our powers are combined then this robot might be able to explode! After all, death and life simply cannot be together!".
The other person said "You don't have to worry, I've thought of a way to combine these 2 opposing forces! This robot has been made!".
The one who spoke at the beginning said strangely "Why are you so stubborn as to combine the life force of mine with the death of yours into this robot?".
"I did this so he wouldn't end up like me! His death strength would clear all enemies of his, it would bring destruction to the world. While the life force of his would protect all those who were precious to him, it would bring prosperity to the world. Give me your help, at least trust me this time!", said the other person while bowing his body.
The person who spoke at the beginning was silent for a few moments before saying "Only for this robot, I will not help you make another robot! But remember well, the life force I gave him absolutely cannot be used to attack, it is only the power to protect and heal. Don't you mind?".
"Yes, then we'll start combining" said someone else.
The one who spoke at the beginning shook his head slightly "This life force will definitely accompany the child, it will bring prosperity in his right hand. This life force will be the friend of this robot, who helps him in the most difficult circumstances and brings a miracle to himself as well as the people around him".
Another said, "Then bring destruction to his left hand-Elos!".
Before Elos could hear all these 2 people's words, a voice suddenly called out to him.
"Elos!", the voice of the woman called out to him again which brought Elos to lose consciousness completely from this place.
...----------------...
"Elos!".
Elos opened her eyes and realized that Riona was already holding onto her shoulder full of worry.
"What happened?", asked Elos full of confusion towards Riona's worried face.
Elos shook his head "It's okay, I'm just a little asleep. Wait, where's Tegir and his sister?".
Elos stared around, noticing that Tegir and Ilina were missing.
"They went to see Nors in person, whether we're going to come along or-Mister, your hands are shining!" said Riona who was surprised to see Elos' right hand shining with a white light.
Seeing the light in his right hand, Elos remembered a word from his dream.
"This life force will be the friend of this robot, who helps him in the most difficult circumstances and brings a miracle to himself as well as the people around him".
"Miracle?" said Elos a little hesitating before a smile appeared on his face.
Elos slowly opened the hood that covered his head, the figure of Elos' skull was again visible.
"Master, what are you doing-" said Riona who was puzzled at Elos' action of opening her hood, but Elos did not answer Riona's question.
Elos took a step forward and raised his right hand which had the white light of "Ruler of Life".
The white light in Elos hands flew filled in all directions in Tiger Human City, a world-shaking miracle occurred in this city.
A child in a corner of the city said to his mother who was hugging him "Mother, I'm hungry, I'm cold!".
The mother is sad, however, there is no mother who is not sad when her child is hungry. The problem is that he has absolutely no food whatsoever, therefore he can only hug the child getting stronger "Don't worry, your father will come back and bring a lot of food for you! I'll also make a fire so you don't get cold anymore".
"Dad! Mom, I can't wait anymore to meet dad-" said the boy who got weaker and closed his eyes.
The mother panicked when she saw her son close his eyes, knowing that most of the starving people in this city would never open their eyes again after being closed, even her husband or the father of this child is the best example.
"Hold on! Don't leave mom alone here!", said the mother frantically trying to wake her son.
But no matter how hard he tried, the child never woke up.
Amidst the despair, a white light covered the child's body with her. Under the white light, the mother felt she was no longer hungry. Even his thin body slowly returned to normal again, not only himself but this also happened to his son.
His son opened his eyes again before saying excitedly and happily, very different from the one he had seen almost dead "Mother, I am no longer hungry, I am no longer cold".
"Alright, thankfully my son! Fortunately!", said the mother who hugged her child getting stronger with tears of joy.
But soon he realized that they could return to normal health as a result of this white light, so he opened his door to find that the whole city was already filled with this white light.
The mother brought her child to follow in the footsteps of the origin of this white light, she will thank the person who has helped them.
Not only him, but everyone in the city followed in the footsteps of the white light with gratitude and respect for their eyes.
Slowly all the tiger men in the city walked towards Elos, they were surprised to find a skull filled with white light, white light all over the city that helped them come from this skull.
The mother could not take her eyes off this white glowing skull, a few sentences appeared in his head as he saw Elos in the white light that he would later write in the future in his book that was famous around the world.
The sentence was "That day I saw a miracle before my eyes, a miracle that never came in the moribund Tiger-Man City. Priests and Saints refer to the undead as the evil creatures of the world, the disgusting creatures. But that day I saw a very shining skull, a disgusting skull in the eyes of Saints but to me, no! It's wrong! Not only for me, but for those of us who obtained the miracle, the skull was hundreds or even thousands of times more sacred than a Saint!".
