172 Final Thrus (1/2)

-Hospital-

Hmmmm? I woke up and it looks like I'm on my bed at the hospital. It's been a while since I last woke up. I can tell that it's already morning. One of the things I hate when I woke up is that I still can't move my legs. One of the reasons I enjoy the game is that I can do whatever I want but here in the real world, my life sucks.

*GROWL* My tummy tells me I need to eat but I really want to know what happened. I tried to put the device once again but someone stopped me. It was Sis.

”Sis? Why are you here so early in the morning?”

”The Doctor called me and they told me you haven't eaten anything for the past couple of hours. I won't ask you to stop playing for a while but please take a break from time to time and take your meals.” She's really worried about me.

”I'm sorry Sis. How about you join me for breakfast?”

She just smiled and we had our lovely breakfast. After a while, she took care of me and helped me. I always miss him.

”Thanks, Sis.” I said cheerfully. I always forget how sad my life is when my sister is here cheering me up.

”We need to talk about the game Zia. How come you join the war when you just started playing the game weeks ago?” Here comes the talk...

”I really don't know how but my friends in the game helped me improved my character. They are also strong too.” It'll be bad if she'd know that I'm with Scy and the others.

”With Scy and his guild, right?” Wait, what? How did she know that?

”I can explain...” I tried to defend myself from her judgment but...

”It's alright. They don't really look like it but they are good people. Just be careful with Scy, for some reason all kinds of trouble flock to that guy.” How come she's cool with Scy after all what happened at the tournament? Is it just me who's making it a big deal? Oh, and she's absolutely right about Scy having bad luck.

”About the war, what is the current situation now?” I hope everyone is ok.

”Vanguard's Stronghold was besieged and overtaken by Frozen King. He's now using it as his fortress. There are a lot of players who died on that war and most of them are melee fighters. The good thing is, after you and Zeth bought us some time, we were able to escape and get away. Now, we are planning to retake and defeat the Frozen King once and for all.”

”What happened to Zeth? Is he ok?” Zeth only wanted to protect his people.

”Well...”

-Icy Plains, Near Vanguards Stronghold-

*Aurora's POV while Zeth was fighting the Frozen King*

Mari was able to heal me but my body is still too weak. She may have healed my wounds but it won't replenish my energy or the lost blood. I distanced myself but I want to see if Zeth can really fight the Frozen King. I have to say that the other Thirteen Gods decided to escape too because it's really too much for us anymore. I just realized we are still too weak for these kinds of invasions.

”Oh, it's you again. You almost got killed by the Minotaur a while back. Do you think you can even do anything to the Almighty Frozen King?” It's starting. I hope Zia's ok. She really took a beating.

Then Scy's friends showed up! Why are they here?! Aren't they supposed to help us when we need them? Why now of all time? Then to my surprise, the girl who uses fire hit my sister! Oh, I think I get it now. They are kidnapping my Sister! Oh just wait... Is it just me or are they helping her to escape? It looks like they are somewhat worried about her... I don't want to jump into any conclusions yet. As long as she's ok then I will be thankful to them.

”No, you're not going anywhere!” The Frozen King angrily trying to grab them with his spell!

*BAAAAAAAAM!* Zeth managed to block the attack with his sword! He's trying to help them escape! I can tell that the pressure of the Frozen King's attack is making him tremble. I've felt that too. The Frozen King's attack is not for one person to block alone.

”It looks like you have to defeat me first before you can catch those chicks,” I hope you could last long after saying those words, Zeth.

Akko and Zia manage to leave the place with a burst of fire spell. They flew up ahead. Wow, that's really a convenient spell.
