11 Returning Home (1/2)
Kayle can only hear the beat of his heart, ignoring any sound from outside, his gaze is fixed on Adam's body that breaks like gla.s.s, slowly breaking into small pieces, with no blood, bones or organs in sight. The portal absorbs the fragments of Adam's body, leaving only a ball of green light that leaves the portal slowly without a single scratch.
Adam's death affected Kayle a little more than the death of Jacob and Ryan. He was already beginning to familiarize himself with Adam, a person from another dimension who called himself a dimensional conqueror.
”What do we do?” Says Lily biting her lip while frowning. Adam's death does not disturb her, the main problem is that the only way out is now totally useless, if that was the only problem, there would be no need for them to worry that this way out would not work, they can always try to find another way out. But the skeleton is very close to where they are, Lily can see even better the appearance of the skeleton of how close it is, the skull of the skeleton has no jaw, where the brain should be there is a black ball covered with green roots, the roots are they twist like worms, she sees that the skeleton has no eyes or other organ in its body, although she does see that all the bones of the skeleton have green roots that are barely visible due to the large size of the skeleton.
Kayle sighs internally, he only has the option to forget Adam. He already understands that if he wants to get out of this dimension he has to complete the system test, he no longer believes there is another way out.
”Lily, do you think if we run we can escape from that skeleton and the church?” Kayle asks, he knows the answer to that question, it is obvious that they cannot escape, the size of those things is so large that there is no way they can escape with their small steps. So why ask something so obvious? It is because he wants to hear the response of Lily, someone who came to this dimension with him and other people. Kayle is sure that Lily is just a normal girl or was a normal girl, because now Lily, who is next to him, is completely different from the Lily he met a few hours ago.
”Escape running? That's impossible...” Lily says in a voice that shows lack of will, uses her last resort to know how to get out of this situation 'Saturn, can you find a way for Kayle and I to get out alive from here?' She does not expect a positive response from Saturn.
{
Leader, Saturn has already a.n.a.lyzed the options for the leader to leave this dimension alive, since Saturn has access to all the memories of the leader, Saturn understands everything that is happening, the only way the leader can get out of this dimension is completing the test that demands that ”thing” that calls itself a system, Saturn theorizes that it is an artificial intelligence of a civilization thousands of times technologically superior to the civilization that made the chips.
Saturn recommends that the easiest way to complete the test is to eliminate the second partic.i.p.ant of the test. If the leader is not prepared to do so, Saturn can take over, Saturn only needs the authorization of the leader.
}
This is... Lily wanted to hide this option in her mind, but now that Saturn says it is the only way to return home, she can no longer ignore the test of the system, Lily looks at those giant monsters that are only a few streets away from where they are and that they will probably arrive where they are in a minute or two. Then she looks at Kayle with a doubtful look. She soon decides what to do, she does not know if it is due to Saturn's influence or because she is already losing interest in the lives of the people she decided to accept giving Saturn control of her body.

Kayle perceives that Lily is looking at him strangely. When they were looking for this place, Lily's eyes were s.h.i.+ning blue, the moment they arrived at this place that is full of portals, she lost that blue glow in her eyes and returned to normal. Kayle squeezes the hilt of his sword, he has always had his sword in his right hand since he escaped that building with Adam, why is he squeezing the hilt of his sword? he sees that Lily's eyes are slowly changing color, it's a dark red color and Kayle feels that color doesn't mean good news.
The place becomes completely silent, neither of them speaks, Kayle breathes a little faster than normal since he is nervous about having to fight Lily, who has a gun and her body seems to be much stronger than before. Lily or Saturn, who controls Lily's body, has no expression, just stays there without doing anything, as if it had no intention of moving.
”...What are you trying to do?” Kayle asks, but before he can hear an answer from Lily, Kayle feels very windy impacting his body that even causes his to lose his balance, tries to see what causes so much wind and his body shudders when he sees a giant, bony foot that slowly It falls on a store a few meters from where it is.
”Boooom!!”
The deafening sound makes Kayle want to cover his ears, his body can't stand the wind caused by the foot that has just destroyed an entire building, the wind throws it against a wall with force, his back hurts incredibly, he even hears the sound of something that broke in his body. Small rocks that once formed a building mercilessly impact his body. Squeezing the teeth of pain, he stands up from the ground leaning against the wall, Kayle did not expect that skeleton to arrive so fast, he looks around that has dust floating everywhere making it difficult to see something beyond half a meter, suddenly, a small fist comes out of the cloud of dust, that fist tries to hit his face at high speed, Kayle immediately realizes that it is Lily who is attacking him, raises his sword quickly to cover his face, but he knows that it will be impossible to cover the blow with his sword, since the speed of the fist is greater, without warning his sword begins to s.h.i.+ne with a green light, the fist that is only 5 centimeters from Kayle's face stops, as if Lily's fist collides with something, even he can hear the cracking of his fingers, Kayle thinks that Lily has probably broken some bones of her fingers by impacting on something invisible that covers him.
He look at a pair of bright red eyes in the dust cloud that observes him, he then feel again a large amount of wind that impacts his body and sweeps away all the surrounding dust. Kayle knows what the skeleton is, he is not worried since he realized that se has a semi-transparent green barrier that covers his body, this barrier was what stopped Lily's blow, so the wind does not cause his body to be thrown randomly, then he hears another loud sound again.
”Booooomm!!”
Kayle sees many small rocks from another destroyed building hitting the barrier, but the barrier resists all blows without any problem. Thinking that there could be no more problems, he hears the familiar roar he has been hearing in the last hour.
”¡Grrrrraaaaahhhhhhh!”
He looks in the direction of the church, he also takes care of his surroundings in case Lily decides to attack him again, since although he has the barrier, he cannot activate it forever, the barrier disappeared after using it to defend against the rocks, Kayle calculates that the barrier can be used for 5 seconds until it disappears, another problematic thing is that he remembers that she has a weapon.
Kayle can slowly distinguish a figure with wings that comes out of the tower of the church, the tower that is made of bones opens like a flower at dawn, the figure is a very different monster from those he has seen so far, The body of the monster is the size of an adult human that could measure up to 2 meters, the wings on the back of the monster seem made by a professional sculptor, the feathers on the wings are all silver, the monster surprisingly has clothes, it seems that the winged monster wears something similar to a snow-white Roman toga and with black edges that decorate the toga very well. The monster is too high in the sky to see the monster's face, but Kayle can tell by the shape of the head that it is not a human head, the monster's head is too large, almost three times the size of the head of a human adult, the limbs of the monster are very long, probably each limb is twice as long as that of a normal human limb.
”¡Grrrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!”
With the loudest roar Kayle has heard so far, the monster flaps its wings and throws itself on the skeleton. Compare the size of the winged monster and the skeleton. Kayle does not believe that the winged monster can do something to the skeleton with its small size, but his mind is surprised to see that the skeleton's left arm is broken in half with just a blow of the winged monster.
The skeletal arm falls on the street where Kayle is, with a loud sound, the floor breaks creating a large hole. He sees Lily dodging the rocks with some incredible movements, as if she were dancing with the rocks, Kayle looks at Lily's body and realizes she doesn't have a single wound on her body.
Kayle looks at his own body that is covered with wounds, even feels that he has a broken rib when he was thrown to the wall of a building by the wind, with a bitter smile, looks at the battle that is happening between the winged monster and the skeleton. Kayle doesn't have to worry about rocks, since he's always ready to activate his barrier.
Kayle reminds them of the monsters that were attacking the skeleton, but he doesn't see any nearby, he thinks it could be due to the influence of the church or the winged monster that no monster is coming.
Suddenly he feels a chill all over his body, the skeleton that is being attacked by the winged monster has its head turned as if it were watching him! Kayle sees how the remaining arm of the skeleton moves slowly to where him is. With an expression of fear, Kayle prepares to attack the skeleton's hand with his sword, but before the arm reaches Kayle, the winged monster breaks its shoulder the skeleton, causing the giant arm to fall into many buildings, creating a lot of noise and rocks that scatter everywhere.
Kayle activates the barrier of his sword at the right time to avoid being hit by the rocks, then realizes something, all the portals that should be black, are now green, even he can say that the portals move slowly!
Saturn, who has been controlling Lily's body all this time, also sees that the portals changed color, feels that Lily's body is being attracted by a strange force that slowly pushes her toward the center of the street. Lily has been watching everything Saturn has been doing, she has had enough time to think about some things and feels that it is not normal for her to want Kayle to die to complete the test. Now she realizes that since Saturn was obtained her personality has changed too quickly! 'Saturn, I want to control my body again!'
