Episode 113 – The Last Attack (2/2)
“And there it is Deora’s famous self-destruct” A feic?”
A second, deep voice responded with an angry: “piss off!”
A third, a better Deora could have done in the current situation He was in no state to continue the battle Might as well sacrifice hiit was thinking of strategy? He was clearly too angry to think Since he wouldn’t die in the exa” The fe that a e would help lessen his headache, and then he cast a Morph spell on hi to feel the state of his own body
Yet, just as he was about to begin the inspection, his body jolted as he felt a spell envelop his surroundings
A sound isolation barrier, few er than his own protection barrier, had covered his little island It was actually just a barrier that froze the movement of a thin veil of air, as to prevent the sound waves fro to the other side of the barrier
“What year is it?”
Kiel’s head snapped towards the source of the husky voice to see Zor, as floating leisurely outside of Kiel’s barrier with a frown creasing his brows
Like a phantom, he had appeared without any sound Kiel didn’t feel him approach, he wasn’t even sure if he had teleported or flown here His presence concealing was so flawless that if he weren’t clearly standing in front of him, Kiel would have sworn that he wasn’t there at all
What year is it? It was a strange question, yet instead of being confused Kiel’s eyes narrowed in an as-I-thought look
Zor had just confirmed what Kiel had suspected from the start – Zor Arite knew that he was only a Replica
Frohly likely that an Arite would know the secret behind the Replica dungeon and have a way to recognize whether they were the original or a Replica However, when Zor had disinterestedly sat down, not showing any desire to participate in the battle, Kiel was alht himself to be a participant of the exahest possible score Yet, he didn’t care about it at all
He was only a Replica After this battle, he would disappear Regardless if he won or lost, it would all be the sa then?
Perhaps the only reason why he didn’t outright forfeit was his pride
Or perhaps he was curious to find out what had happened in the years passed
“It’s 1449 AW” Kiel replied calmly
Zor stared at hiain: “Do you know me?”
Does he want to know his own future? Kiel blinked several ti “No I know your name, but we’ve never , but after hearing his words, Zor frowned in displeasure “I suppose you are telling the truth, for if you had met me, you certainly wouldn’t dare lie to me”
Kiel’s eyebrow juht” Zor mused lazily “Tell me, what am I up to nowadays?”
Kiel’s expression turned aard Hoas he supposed to tell the guy that he was dead?
He carefully picked his words: “If you want to know information about your future achievements, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you Besides your na voice turned icy “You want e and the head of the argel branch of the Arite faht as well claim that you aren’t a Rroda…”
Noas Kiel’s turn to frown “The head of the Purge and the head of the argel branch of the Arite family is not you It’s Erdi Arite”
Zor’s eyebrows shot upwards, al his red hairline “What? Mother still hasn’t letup quite badly”
Zor’s sudden uncharacteristic outburst startled Kiel into forgetting the tact he was supposed to have: “I’d say” Kiel couldn’t help blurting out “You died”
Zor Arite seee of expression, staring at Kiel as if they were talking about the weather “How did I die? What happened to Rine?”
Rine? Who is Rine? His soulmate? Kiel shook his head helplessly “I don’t know the circumstances of your death I was a newborn when you died”
Several moments of aard silence passed, before a powerful, oppressive aura assaulted Kiel’s senses Zor’saround hiolden eyes narrowed into a ry? It’s not like I killed him! Kiel cast an Acceleration spell on hied to teleport inside his barrier
However, Zor didn’t teleport
In fact, Zor didn’t even attack the barrier
He just pointed his index finger, as if to touch the barrier
And then, abruptly, the rings on Elaru’sjolted and speedily twirled the before Kiel’s barrier had completely vanished
What did he do?! Kiel slid his hand into his pocket, si backward, his eyes wide in shock He could feel the changes in the egg even though it had been in his pants
He brought the artifact out, hoping he could activate it again, but the rotations of the rings had coain!
His plight didn’t escape Zor’s golden eyes, which grew colder and colder by the second
He didn’t chase after Kiel, only watching him calmly
However, that caused no relief to Kiel, for a moment later, he almost slammed his back into Zor Arite, who had, in a blink of an eye, teleported froht in his path
Kiel tried twisting his body around in erous situation However, Zor gave hirip
Co to reconsider” Kiel squeezed out between gritted teeth, doing his best to disguise the displeasure he was feeling “All I said was the truth”
Zor pointed towards the ht hand “Where did you obtain the Seed of Aegis?”
His face froze, and he stared at Kiel in stupefaction as if he had just witnessed Kiel growing three wings, two heads, and a tail
However, it didn’t uard had clearly slipped This was Kiel’s last chance to turn the tables around!
Kiel pricked up his ears, his heart leaped into his throat Has the time finally arrived for him to unveil the secret of Elaru Wayvin?
Kiel barelyof his own heart Elaru Wayvin is…? Kiel stared fixedly at Zor’sto lip read ord he would say next
