Towards the Unbeatable

Act 459: The Hidden Thing

“You're right Danny, I'm dead.”

“!” Believe it or not the Dark Shadow girl was surprised by what she heard, but could not be known to anyone considering she was only a black shadow. Who could understand the expression of the black shadow alone?

“But how can?” Danny was curious about something like this.

Why could he see a dead man as if he were alive? Because honestly there is nothing strange about Mr. Hill except the appearance of white hair and beard and all-white clothes he wears.

“Do not underestimate a precious gemstone holder like me.” The old man put on a proud face.

“It is better to be late than not to meet at all,” the old man added slowly while staring meaningfully.

Danny was silent, he did not expect to even meet the spirit of a holder of a precious gemstone, immediately many questions that arise in his mind.

Does the demi-human race have this kind of power? Or are they just certain people? Why could he lose his life?

It is not funny if Mr. Hill died because he had lived too long in the world, Danny knows race after human, especially the holders of precious gemstones have a long life that is far from human standards.

Then only one more possibility remains....

Danny hopes he gets a detailed explanation from this old man, but reflecting from their previous talks, he feels he must judge what happened in his own view.

Grep.

SSHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Danny tightened his right hand and a small beam of light came out of it. Now the four precious gemstones were no longer in his grasp.

“We're late.” Danny did not expect something like this to happen, before he had tried as quickly as possible to find all the precious gemstones that exist, he was trying to find all the precious stones, but in the end he was still not fast enough to prevent this from happening.

“It's not your fault young man.” Mr. Hill didn't say this was anyone's fault.

“I still have a second chance given my ancestral powers to talk to you.” For the first time the old man explained something to Danny, which ended up quite enlightening him now.

‘So he can return in his original form even if only limited to his spirit?’ inner Danny finally knew a little why something like this could happen.

This is not because he can see it or not, but because it is what this power has.

“Devil is in action, how much have you done?” ask Mr. Hill who kept Danny quiet for a while.

“As you know, I am just an ordinary human being who cannot do many things.” Danny answered what he was, and a few moments later he resumed his words.

“I'm not even becus in controlling this entrusted power.”

“But I still have hope..The human race can still be relied upon against the devil!” Without Dany realizing, from her chest appeared a colorful beam of light that showed the existence of the precious gemstone she was currently in.

Hill could see the strong determination that existed in this young man, which at first he did not think was the holder of the chosen precious gemstone.

Since he had already gotten a rough idea of what this young man had gone through, from the beginning he was trying to obtain this precious gemstone, from the other precious gemstone holders.

Strong determination is the main capital to do something, and Hill can see clearly this young man named Danny has something unique in him.

As the demi-human race was known to have the ability to communicate remotely, this was also true of the precious magic gemstone holders.

“Devil has already destroyed the center of the city of the Eastern Kingdom, and my friends are still there.” Danny was bowed, his chest heavy at the thought of what could happen to his friends who were far away from him.

With an enemy that was much stronger and could do anything, what else could he think of other than the worst possible thing that could happen there?

“Impressive anyone would follow you, but they didn't plan to waste their lives did they?” Hill looked at Danny seriously, his eyes looking impatient to hear what response he would receive later.

Regardless of what the old man meant, his words sounded similar to what Freiss had said. No wonder the holder of a precious gemstone said something like this, as a form of concern for these young fellows.

Danny was silent for a while, for some reason he didn't feel the need to be counseled now. “Master, if this mission cannot be completed, I must return to my friends' place.” His tone trembled, restraining his emotions from letting out a high tone.

Danny had enough to hear about his friends who were rated ‘boh’ by others. No need to remind him repeatedly, Danny knows Vincent, Brock and Patricia are great people in unusual ways.

Not many people are willing to risk their lives for something dangerous, leave their usual life and walk for something uncertain.

Danny doesn't know what his friends' hearts are like, but every time Danny thinks of this, he recalls how sincere their determination is to follow him to this day.

“Being in danger with my friend is better than having to hear them insulted.” Danny showed a sharp eye, it was enough he felt burdened because his friends were following him. Now he knew what needed to be done was to defend the resolve of his comrades.

The old man's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect to get this kind of reaction, he thought the young man only thought of himself and didn't care about the person following in his footsteps.

Because to think about it however difficult to find people like this fellow youth, but it is also not impossible.

“You're lucky Danny, got a partner like them.” Hill sounds like he's saying something nice.

“We must immediately stop the attack.” Danny was straight to the point, he didn't want to waste precious time.

“For the sake of getting powerful weapons to fight the demons, what should I do?” danny asked in a high tone of voice and was impatient,

What about rehearsing back together with Mr Hill? How long does it take for that?

“Wait a minute...” Danny stopped here, the fact that the holder of this precious gemstone is essentially gone makes him think of something.

“You are right Danny, I am dead and the precious gemstone of regeneration is no longer there for me.”

“...” Danny was speechless, what Mr. Hill said was in line with what he had in mind.

“So your mission is really over.” The Dark Shadow girl finally raised her voice.

“.... That means Mr...” Danny's words stopped in the middle of the road.

“The last opponent you faced, he was the one who took it,” Hill explained.

‘Cannot...’.

‘Cecilia already picked up the regeneration precious gemstone?’ danny needs time to receive this information he just heard.
