I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 5: THE RIONA RATIONALE

Sares face turned again into friendly "With this then the criminal is dead, we don't have to worry anymore. Alright, I will send you to the Ray Kingdom, the king there will take care of and help you to become stronger and have enough power to fight against the evil god".

Everyone in the room nodded, no one else dared to fight Sares because they knew from the previous fight that this Sares was very strong. He was always a friendly smile that did not look scary, but anyone who underestimated him would be sorry.

On the other hand, Serun's face became extremely gloomy. However, he tries to invite Riona before, but she is rejected by Riona. If it was before then Serun would definitely not mind being rejected, but he was now a hero that made him feel ashamed.

The intelligent Gisha understood Serun's thoughts, so she gently hugged Serun's arm "Don't think too much of the woman, you don't need to feel ashamed because Riona is a fool. Though you've been very kind to help her get away from death, but Riona doesn't listen to you until she dies. Truly a foolish woman, as a hero then you don't have to bother thinking about that woman".

Serun regained consciousness, he was very happy with Gisha who was smart so that it helped him eliminate the shame rejected by Riona.

Therefore, Serun hugged Gisha's shoulder while saying arrogantly "You are right, I who is a hero was kind enough to remind her of the good path, but Riona is a stupid woman who doesn't know about my kindness. I don't have to waste time on someone stupid like that".

The other classmates were silent, no one was stupid enough to ridicule Serun because he was a hero now, even Yazou who was a close friend of Elos did not dare to say anything.

Finally Sares opened a magic circle that let everyone in the place go to Ray Kingdom.

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

Elos suddenly felt that the whole world was dark, but his world was bright again and he realized that he was already high above the sky.

Riona still hugs Elos using all her strength, Riona's right wing is no longer there due to being burned by Sares which makes Elos with Riona fall to the ground very quickly.

What shocked Elos the most were not those who fell, but the flames that continued to burn Riona's back body. Not only Riona who burned this time, the fire also burned the entire body of Elos.

Elos felt extreme pain, besides the fire was burning all the skin or cells in his body that gave great pain to Elos, Riona now also experienced the same thing.

Despite being in great pain, Elos and Riona gritted their teeth in order not to scream anything and endured the pain.

Elos looked at Riona who was still trying her best to fly using only the left wing "Riona, why do you have to help me to make you lose your life? Although we're childhood friends, but you don't have to go this far".

Riona looked at Elos, there was a huge sense of love that could be seen through her eyes "Elos, you are really stupid! Men are insensitive! If we were just childhood friends then I wouldn't bother helping you to make me lose my life, I did this because I like you! From the time we met when we were 7 years old to 10 years later that is today, I cannot shake this feeling! I really like you! So I'm doing all this for you, the words on earth used to be true that love can make someone stupid!".

After that Riona did not look at Elos anymore, she was too embarrassed to tell her feelings. If not for them dying, Riona probably wouldn't have been this brave to tell her feelings for Elos.

Hearing Riona's words, Elos is embarrassed, but as a man, Elos knows that she must answer Riona's feelings, "Thank you, I'm so happy for your feelings-".

Finally they had already passed through the clouds, before the eyes of Elos and Riona then they could see the vast forest below them, but strangely all the forest had no leaves. All the trees in the forest only had black-colored trunks, this place was more like a dead forest.

In addition, they can see the city in the distance, because of the long distance then either Elos or Riona can not see the city clearly.

"Elos, I'm tired! Maybe I'll go first" Riona said with a faint smile, Sares' fire continued to burn Riona which left her already heavily injured.

"Wait a minute! As long as we land then there will be a chance to survive, I will search-" Elos said frantically.

But Riona suddenly kissed Elos on her lips, they only did this for 5 faithful before Riona put her head away and said with a faint smile "Elos, I love you-".

Riona slowly closed her eyes, because of Riona's disappearance, her left wing stopped moving, causing them to fall faster. Although Elos and Riona are near death, Sares' fire still burns them incessantly, indicating Sares' determination to kill them.

"Am I going to die here? At the very least I should try to put out the flames on Riona's body!", said Elos who felt that his consciousness was getting weaker.

He tries to put out the fire on Riona's body, but Elos realizes that there is nothing he can do.

Amidst the confusion, Elos remembers that he has the ability. Although Elos does not know the usefulness of that ability, it never hurts to try.

Elos extends his hand to the fire that burns Riona "Ruler of Death!".

A black aura gathered in the hands of Elos that covered the flames on Riona's body, the next incident made Elos surprised because the fire on Riona's body slowly weakened to death completely as if Ruler of Death could make the fire die like a living creature.

"If my strength can eliminate the fire on Riona then I can eliminate the fire on my body as well-" said Elos who would use this power to put out the fire on his body.

But when Elos realized that his consciousness was weakening, he could no longer maintain consciousness. This happened not only the fire that kept him injured, the Rule of Death seemed to consume a lot of Elos' power to make him lose consciousness faster.

Elos could only see his eyes closing shut until they were completely exhausted, Elos speaking in the second before he lost consciousness "Am I going to die here? I just came to another world! If I wasn't chosen to this other world then things wouldn't be like this-".

Elos lost consciousness completely.

The bodies of Riona and Elos fell to the ground violently, but Elos had already changed their position to fall when Riona lost consciousness so that Elos' body first hit the ground, she continued to hug Riona until the end as Riona was the one to protect her without the slightest hesitation.
