Chapter 60
Just like how flashy his entrance was, there goes yet another capsule just like the same capsule on where Fiolle is before.
Honestly, I still haven't processed the thing that happened to Fiolle… all of us are stuck on where we are. Not knowing what actions should we take. Just like a piece of pawn in a game of chess board… we are all acting as if we are waiting for the move of our rival.
There, he now use his ultimate chess piece. The Queen.
“It is… cold…”
Kheina can't help but mumbled those words as she felt the same temperature that we had the moment the capsule opened. Joined with the misty fog that escaped the capsule, it was as if a place in frost was being presented.
“It wouldn't be fair if it is only you who would make changes… right? Ethan?“
Laughing maniacally, he shows no interest in the main characters of the IKINOBIRU. Why is he... targeting me? Is it because… he know the flow of the story and he thinks that it was I who ruined it? Based on his words… maybe that is what he really meant by that.
”Now now, let my creation be the one to eliminate you and bring things back to the way it supposed to be!“
As soon as the mist dissipate, what we saw is a figure of a woman. Is she… the queen of the ice fortress?
With a sudden realization, I knew for sure that it was THAT scene! The one that would decide the end of this story!
But… why is she here in the command of Mors Magnus? Isn't she supposed to be the last boss? Why—
Before I can utter any words, the person that I was looking for, the reason why we went here… it was her who was the one behind that white smoke.
”Rejoice for the birth of the real Queen of the ice fortress! The old was no longer living, for a new one is here on my calling!“
It wasn't a robot. It is not a fake… a replica… or a mere imitation. It was the real deal…
”Leisya…“
It was my sister…
With her head swaying as she walks like a zombie who loses control over her body, as soon as she raised her hand and make a sway, spikes of ice went on our way.
”So the reason why you did that to Fiolle…“
Laughing and suddenly making a poker look, Mors Magnus seems to be mocking Saypher
”Ah, right, you are there. Saypher… the main protagonist of this world. The person that is meant to kill me. Hah, it was an honor to talk to you like this!— But being like that does not really makes you look like the real deal. Did the great Saypher became like that after hanging out with this extra? How bad to know… but don't worry, I will let you see the great scene that your eyes can ever see!!“
In an instant, the place was covered with nothing but ice, it didn't bother about ruining things, she just move as if she would do everything that was said to her.
Leisya… she is a free girl. Someone who can do anything thay she wants. Like a bird who was set free to fly in the big wide sky. But… because of that guy… because of him…
Even Fiolle died…
Just why is he doing this… can't he just live a fucking normal life without bothering others???!
Normal… hah… maybe it is I who forgot about it. Maybe it is I who doesn't remember the fact that the very moment this game became reality… life will never be normal. Normal… it is not in the vocabulary of this place…
My eyes was set fix in her eyes. Looking at me, even if she was swaying her hands, her eyes was locked in mine.
”Leisya… can you hear me?“
Walking to her direction, I tried to simply dodge the attacks that she gave. Maybe I was lucky enough to have her not completly throw deadly attacks.
”Go on, no matter what you do… your life will surely meets its end“
I didn't bother looking at him since I believe that Saypher will be there to fight him. I believe in Saypher, surely he would do so.
”Leisya… you aren't meant to be like this…“ My hands trying to reach her gain yet another scratch as he ice had its way on me.
”You are not like this. You don't want this too, right?“
My hands are itchy, ot was the part on where I saw a strange mark appearing on it.
”Leisya… brother is here. He came… I am here“
Why does my mouth seems to be talking on their own. Why do I feel like… the words that I am saying is all leaking like a flock of butterflies setting free?
There was a small seconds of her being stunned as she hear those words. Did she… came back to her senses?
The lit on her eyes that she usually give me before… I can see it leaking out of her face.
”Brother is here…“
As soon as I touched her hand with both of my palm, there we was a light forming as of anyone who saw it would be blinded by how bright it was.
With her blinking a couple of times, there I can say that she is now back to the usual her.
”Br— brother!!“
She shouted as she hug me. Indeed, it was… now her. The flower that was dancing with the lights of the sun. Singing together with the wind. Flying so free. Somehow, I manage to be useful. I manage to save someone that I cherish…
I may have a bit of jealousy or the attention she got but…
This kid… she deserves all of it.
I smiled as I let my hand touch her hair.
Leisya.. I am so glad that you are safe
In front of me, what I saw was a sight of Saypher completely overwhelming Mors Magnus. He didn't even let his hand hold the impact that he would give.
With his hand piercing into the chest of Mors Magnus, the man that was a mixture of both human and robotic body parts, there was a smile on his face. As if he was contented to be killed by Saypher just like what it supposed to be.
The place became silent as if time stopped. The screen that was in front of me, it was the screen of the system. Notifications flooded my mails.
But what catches my attention the most was the words that was written in the strange envelope
Did Saypher and the others get the same envelope?
Now that the last arc of the game ended… what would happen next?
With my hands moving on its own, I click the button to open the mail. There, Wai and Navi greeted me with great enthusiasm as the both float in the air.
[Congratulations Master, you completed the game!]
Game? I completed the game?
Do they mean… the IKINOBIRU?
I just noticed it now, the scar that was in my pal disappeared with no trace. As if.. It was never there… wait… maybe that was the one that helped me bring Leisya back to her senses!
Ah, now that I remembered it, Leisya, why is she not saying anything?
The moment I set my eyes looking at her who was hugging me, she is not moving at all.
With my eyes meeting Saypher and the others, they are also not moving. As if.. They all froze
”What is… happening…“
Not knowing what exactly is happening, I continued listening to what Wai and Navi is saying
”The world that was different from the world you had, traveler, did you enjoy your journey?“
I have no idea about what is going on but, the things that happened to me, starting from the time I was chased by dinosaurs, as well as the time I woke up inside that great whale piranha… all of those times that I faces… why are they flashing in the screen like this?
”Journey… what do you—“
And before I knew it, Leisya who was just with me… disappeared with no trace. Even the others, they are all gone.
Floating in an unknow space, it was as if I am not touching the ground. Only, Wai and Navi are here with me.
But… weird… my surrounding looks like it is having a glitch
[In every quest, there is a reward. The game did end and you must walk forward. Hold onto the memories of the journey you had. We are proud of of you… as well as the whole IKINOBIRU]
