Chapter 1095 - : On the Other Side of Fate (1/2)
“Bubble, Canary, what happened?”
Rhode knitted his brows and gazed at them dubiously. A few moments ago, the two young ladies who were in their slumber jumped up from the bed all of a sudden as though they had a nightmare. They widened their eyes in shock, gazing at him in disbelief. Before Rhode continued to speak, they suddenly pounced on him and grabbed each of his arms. Facing this bizarre reaction from them, Rhode was taken aback. As for the rest, they watched curiously and didn’t know what to say. After all, their behavior was too peculiar.
“Rhode? What are you doing here? Where is this place? Am I dreaming?”
“Leader! It’s really you, Leader!”
“What happened to you two?”
Facing the sudden inquiries, Rhode was at a total loss. As they were about to reach their destination, Rhode woke Canary and Mini Bubble Gum up to get ready. But he didn’t expect them to freeze in place after waking up as though they were cursed and now, they even pounced on him? What exactly was going on?
As Rhode felt dubious, the two young ladies stopped their actions and felt a shiver down their spines. They raised their heads with baffled and dubious expressions. After scanning the surroundings curiously, they shook their heads.
“Huh? Leader… where’s… the group of Chaos Beasts?”
“Chaos Beasts?”
Rhode felt ridiculous. He gazed at them helplessly, unable to figure out the situation. Could it be that traveling in hell for too long had given them a terrifying nightmare? After hearing his response, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary stared blankly at him. They looked around them, knitted their brows, and Mini Bubble Gum held her head in confusion.
“Huh? I recall losing my vision to the blinding light and being transported away to some ridiculous place… could it be that is just a misconception?”
“What place?”
“Oh, it looks like those ruins in sci-fi horror movies and there were so many Chaos Beasts pouncing on us. Even though I didn’t know what was going on, I fought back nonetheless… hmm? There was also a glaring beam of light…”
“I had the same dream.”
While Mini Bubble Gum was in a state of confusion, Canary said softly from beside her. She knitted her brows and lowered her gaze to her hands. There was nothing. But to Canary, the scene felt so surreal and she had even felt the sensation of the raging fire elements. That didn’t feel like a dream at all.
“I saw all sorts of machines around me. I also met Her Highness Erin and there was a mysterious black slate floating in midair. Then, before I knew it, Chaos Beasts started charging toward us and we got into a battle… I remember eliminating the Chaos Beasts, then… hmm? That’s strange. I recall a white light beam and we’re back, it seems?”
“Yes, yes. I met Her Highness Erin too and it seemed like she was really surprised to meet us. She kept asking us what happened. That’s really odd.”
“Erin?”
Rhode was caught between laughter and tears. He couldn’t imagine why Erin appeared in their dreams. If it were a man who appeared instead of her, perhaps Rhode might get a little jealous. But it was the moon princess instead… So what exactly was going on? Even both of them felt like this dream was too peculiar. They exchanged looks and saw the doubts in each other’s eyes. No matter what, it was truly a mystery as to why they had the same dream. But even though it was a dream, they felt like it was filled with unspeakable realism.
“Are you two sure that you aren’t in a daze?” Rhode asked, sizing up Mini Bubble Gum and Canary. Then, he shrugged and said, “Come to think of it, both of you have been acting really strange just now. I wanted to ask you to wake up but instead, you asked me a bunch of odd questions as though you haven’t seen me in a long time. Before I was able to answer, you returned to your senses… could it be that you’re really in a daze?”
“…”
