Chapter 223 - Treating Ash and Filvisar (1/2)
[Lara and Nara point of view]
”She's strong...” [Kucin]
”As expected of her” [Anjin]
”You two are not half bad. Weaker than Ash individually but your teamwork are phenomenal” [Mahsuri]
We are homunculi, just like her, but when we compare our power and abilities to her, it feel like we are tiny droplets of water in a vast pool. Then, there's another strange homunculus beside the three of us, though that person still didn't realize it. Strange because we can clearly tell that person is a homunculus, but at the same time, that person didn't have any magic core unlike the three of us. The two of us can't help wondering what that person actually is
”Lara, Nara, here's your cold juice” [Claude]
””Thank you”” [Lara, Nara]
We homunculi don't need any food or water in order to survive. Just give us mana and we could survive, but having something to eat and something to drink make us full, make us feel like we are human like them as well. It makes us feel alive
”Practice among yourselves now” [Mahsuri]
”Right” [Other]
Once again, after training us all, she left, and as usual, she sits in her favourite sofa, not moving an inch. Maybe because we are fellow homunculi that the two of us sit right beside her, copying her actions.
”...” [Mahsuri]
”...” [Lara]
”...” [Nara]
It's calm. As our eyes becoming heavier by each passing second
((Lara/Nara, I'll sleep first)) [Lara, Nara]
Communicating with each other telepathically, we closes our eye and fall asleep until
”Brother Ash and Grandpa Filvisar are what!” [Zerolith]
”We are still treating him now, so please calm down” [Qis]
”It's getting late. We will update about their conditions tomorrow. So, please rest first, all of you. If you want, I can bring you to the castle tomorrow. Princess Diana already approve of it” [Rumia]
”Thank you, Saintess Rumia” [Seo Ah]
”You're welcome, and sorry I can't teach you anything today, dear Seo Ah” [Rumia]
”It's fine. There's always next time” [Seo Ah]
Trouble. Something happen. But what?
”I know all of you are worried, but just eat your dinner first and slept early afterward. They will fetch you tomorrow” [Claude]
We both eat at the dining table together with other, and after our dinner
”Kara and Mara, goodbye” [Farhah]
”I'll fetch you all tomorrow, so sleep early” [Aries]
”Right” [Other]
The other twin left. We aren't that sleepy as we already fall asleep after the training, but with nothing better to do, we went to the bed, when
”HAHAHA! Vincent and Maria, and what this, their son! How irritating” [?]
Brother Ash, with two other people. Wasn't that, the soul inside of his scythe? And there's a powerful being right in front of them, it aura and mana, it's similar to what they implant to us back then before we are being rescue. Similar? No, it's stronger, as if that was the original source for all of it
((Head... hurt)) [Lara, Nara]
This is just a dream, but it feels to surreal.
”I'll crush you before you can...! Achalasia, why you!” [Fallen god]
”Vincent, Maria, and Ash. Come with me” [Goddess Achalasia]
”Thank you...” [Ash]
Someone that's refer to as Goddess Achalasia come to their rescue just when that powerful being about to crush them with multiple thick spheres of giant miasma. The holy mana that she radiate, it's warm and it washes away all of our headache. She then brought those three to safety before approaching us
”This might only be a dream. What you're seeing is what happen to your Brother back then, but nonetheless, it still affecting both of you. That's how powerful the fallen god is” [Goddess Achalasia]
She placed her soft hand and pat our head, before giving us some of her mana. She as well as
”...” [God of Death]
Another powerful being. A tall skeleton with a scythe. He looks like that of the noble Brother Ash brought back to life.
”Death, if you would” [Goddess Achalasia]
”...” [God of Death]
With his skeletal hands, he put his hand, piercing our chest. It didn't hurt, it just went through, before pouring in his power as well
”It might not be the blessing of ten heroes, but with this, you're having the same power as Ash, without feeding on his mana every day” [Goddess Achalasia]
””!!”” [Lara, Nara]
”Please, help your siblings in the future, Lara, Nara...” [Goddess Achalasia]

We wake up first. We might sleep in different room, but we could tell that we both have woken up at the same time. Both of us are feeling confuse, and agree to check our new power
Sneakily going out, we pass through in front of Mahsuri and Grandpa Claude when suddenly
”Looks like Goddess Achalasia and God of Death bestowed you their blessing” [Mahsuri]
~Nod~
”What!” [Claude]
”You want to test it out? Come” [Mahsuri]
~Nod~
When we arrive at the training hall, both of us have a quick sparing session with Mahsuri
((Fire Lance! Water gun! Earth needle! Wind cutter! Mirage cloud! Darkness spear! Light sword!)) [Lara, Nara]
Testing out our new power, we could feel that unlike the usual Brother Ash mana that are coming out from our magic cores, this time around, it's our own mana that were emitted. All our mana from the cell concentrate first into the magic core in our heart before being unleash. We can use all seven elements of magic, plus
””Soul pierce”” [Lara, Nara]
”!” [Mahsuri]
Sensing danger, she quickly dashes toward us and cancel our technique through brute force. Our hands hurt from her powerful grip
