The Dark Slayer's

[S3] Chapter 38: Purpose

Sun sped up his pace, running after Leon as soon as possible due to feeling a bad premonition. His breathing accelerated, his heart pounding rapidly pumping blood all over his body. Sweat washed away like swimming in a river.

Entering the Evolution Valley, the atmosphere was so calm, unlike back then, where he had to face many shocking things. Continuing to run at full speed, he had now managed to break out of the Evolution Valley. However, his eyes instantly widened wide to see the herd of Tan moving towards him.

Stop while glaring around, in the direction of 1 o'clock he saw a girl flinch staring at the herd Tan with resignation. When he was about to run towards the girl, his eyes were distracted by something black in front of the girl. He wondered, what is that?

“Hei! You're the one over there! Get away, get into the valley, you'll be safe. Here too dangerous, quickly move your feet!” Sun exclaimed loudly, telling the girl to leave immediately. However, the girl did not heed Sun's call. “Hei!”

“Free ... the creature is so powerful. In fact, Vord was defeated ...,” muttered the girl.

Sun was aghast, his eyes wide open, not believing what the girl was saying. “You must be kidding me! Do you really know who the Vord you said it was?”

The girl was still expressionless, frustrated at the circumstances. “Energy Eater level 1, Vord has died.”

“What?” Of course Sun could not resist his insecurities. “Lying! You must have seen it wrong! It was impossible for him to be defeated by just the horde of Tan!”

“But, the fact is so.” The girl lowered her head, glancing expressionlessly at the black corpse in front of her. “Even this strong white haired man, can be easily defeated ...”

“White haired people?” As soon as Sun approached the corpse, the corpse's face was already shattered, just like his other limbs. “Mustahil ... what is he?” Sun glanced at the girl nearby. However, the girl could only look away.

Sun looked back at the corpse in his hand, still in disbelief. “Hey ... You're not Leon, are you? Hey ...” Too late to be calmed, he was frustrated even to forget the sense.

Several times Sun slapped the face of the corpse that had turned black. He really didn't want to believe it, but reality was painful.

“Hei .. stop it, he has died. You have to keep your mind,” said the girl slowly.

Sun did not answer, his hands continued to embrace the corpse believed to be Leon's corpse. Sasa and Ni arrive. The two of them then approached Sun, the look on their faces changed when they saw Sun.

“Sun ...” Sasa tried to call Sun.

“What is he?” He kept his mouth shut with both hands.

Without even answering a word, Sun stood up, his gaze straight ahead where there was a herd of Tan. He immediately shouted as he ran with all his might, his body in an instant covered by the flames.

“Sun!” Sasa's shouts in the slightest could not make Sun look back.

Before long, Ni also darted forward without saying. Now, only Sasa and the girl who had been with Sun were standing around doing nothing. Both seem to be confused. However, Sun along with Ni compactly launched an attack with all his might.

Leon felt his body very light, without any burden. To his right was Ellise who lowered her head while looking at both palms. For a moment Leon looked at his body, he was wearing only white, typical of researchers in the laboratory.

“Am I ..?”

Before Leon further asked, Ellise directly opened her mouth, “Thank you, Leon.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

Ellise sighed. “Don't I ever tell you, you're a good person, even too good. You are neither selfish nor evil, you are very good.”

“Then?” Leon didn't change his expression.

Ellise's hands touched Leon's shoulders, but slowly the girl's body separated like a pile of sand blown by the wind. “Now is the time to know that you are not a bad person, but a good person. Memories of your past, the truth, without any more lies, I will show them to you.”

Leon fell silent, not knowing what to answer. Of course, he was very curious about the memories he had not known.

“But, before that, I want to apologize ...”

“You why? I feel like there's something weird about you. Besides, I feel like this is the end of all my struggles. For some reason, my heart feels calm and relieved, even though my problem is not finished.”

Ellise's faint smile showed it to Leon. “Forget all that, because, your task is done. You don't use yourself anymore. Because, you're a human being, not a robot or a program.”

Leon returned a faint smile from Ellise. So far, he had understood a little about what Ellise was thinking. Most likely, now Ellise is saying that Leon will soon be killed. “I hope, with the disappearance of myself, then the world will turn into more peaceful.”

“I hope so too. But you don't have to worry about that anymore. Rest in peace.”

“Iya, I will do it after getting what I lost.”

“I understand.” Ellise closed her eyes, trying to concentrate on recovering Leon's memories. “This as a farewell sign ...”

“Thank you.” Leon smiled warmly.

Little by little, Ellise's limbs disappeared. Instead of smiling, the girl cried. Her tears dripped profusely on both cheeks, until a hoarse voice came out of her mouth.

“I'm sorry, Leon ...” The look of regretful face was clearly visible on Ellise's face.

Gently, Leon wiped the tears on Ellise's face. Now, he remembered about who the real figure of Ellise. Leon's mouth moved, saying a word. “Sister-in-law ...”

When hearing that sentence, Ellise increasingly felt guilty and could not bear the end like this. However, his attitude was different from Leon who was very calm, as if this was a happy ending.

“Leon ...” The last voice from Ellise's mouth sounded so soft. In the blink of an eye, the girl had already disappeared from before Leon.

The situation became silent, Leon's body was unmoved, stiff. Both of his hands squeezed, and his head looked up at the endless white color. Her tears fell without her noticing.

“Eh? Why with me?” The young man wiped his tears. “I really did not expect, it turns out that all this time I did was not without purpose or just for fun. “It turns out I, was about to call you back to the world using my powers, my brother, the real Young Master Klaurius, Marvin Klaurius.”

Mixed feelings entered into Leon's heart. All this time, he really did not think that Ellise was actually his sister-in-law. This leaves Leon not knowing how else to do it. However, the task was done, so it was no longer a problem.
