“Why did you kill him?”“I already said it to you… I have to accumulate more points so that I can survive this death game… If I die here… If I die here… Who will save my people? I must survive and earn lots of money. That is my mission on having a journey.”Toto said.She cleans the dagger by swinging the blade at full force. The blood splatters on the ground.I’m in no position to criticize what she’d done. It was my belief to oppose her doing. In her belief, she is merely doing this so she can survive this death. She is neither right nor wrong.“I’m going ahead to face Audrey, who is currently staying in the castle in the center of this island… I have no idea how powerful this angel's ability was, but I don’t have much of a choice. My choice is only two… Fight Audrey or die in this death game.”“I want to go with you.”“I just said that I’m going to the castle… It would be dangerous for you if you came.”“I may not look like it, but I am also strong… I’m well trained at surviving an
Konoha stretched her arms upward as if she had just gotten up from her bed.“It’s been a while since I was awakened… So this is how everything looks now. But completely taking over this body is still impossible for me. This body is not my body anymore after all.”Toto’s arms were severed and re-grew back to normal in a few seconds.“... A hybrid of a human and a demon. You’re lucky… Want to join me? I want to rewrite the world like the world where I came from. I want to be an actress again, doing movies and more. It’s so fun to be so popular. I mean fortune just followed me… I’m so cute everyone loves me.”“What are you talking about? Popular? Actress? Movies? What are those?”“A world without movies… This world truly sucks. I want to go back to my real life.”Toto made a few steps backward and immediately followed her back in the distance away from Konoha.She could not explain why her body moved on its own. More like an instinct.A prey has encountered her predator. The bunny would
Stunned by what’s appearing in her eyes. Toto could not speak anything. Her body is completely petrified.She already made her last resort. Her final trump card that supposes to have one shot of Konoha dead.“Everything is running according to the rules of the One’s Eden system. The system was rewritten hundreds of years ago establiReng the current magic system and balancing the world. Re-creating this world into a peaceful one. But humans continue to destroy this land, after the war with demons. The human turned to each other creating another war… I won’t say that conflict is necessary. But everyone needs conflict to happen in their life. We can say that for a person to be completed, the person needs both sides of the same coin… I want to ask you something? Is the feeling of completion necessary more than the feeling of achieving one’s happiness?”Konoha lifted Toto. Lifting her on her neck.Because of her demon regeneration ability. Toto’s injuries are all healed. Konoha was in awe
The four girls has reached the front of the castle. A evil castle gives ominous aura around and the sky above it was darker than the other clouds around the island. It’s appearance is very suited for a evil boss battle. That was to be expected because the castle is one of the demon king Rening star base hundred years ago.Behind the castle the giant ship Noah’s ark could be seen.Taking a glance on the ark, Konoha could not suppress the memories that flows on her head.She gulped her saliva.Konoha know that she come to defeat Audrey, but the idea of killer is not in her mind yet. That goes back to the question. Could Konoha kill Audrey?“Don’t worry Konoha… We got your back. We won’t let anything bad happened to you inside.”Olivia said.“Thank you…”Mustering her courage, Konoha goes on a lead and open the giant door.The door immediately brings them to the giant hall inside the castle. An long red carpet and tall sturdy white pillars. On both side was two long staircase and giant g
Growing up, I always think that I’m the weird one.Living in the huge colorful amusement park without visitors. Eating and playing together with various wacky characters. Laughing and crying. Everyone has their characteristics except me. I always wonder why?I don’t have tails, horns, wings to fly, or someone similar to me in the amusement park. Realizing those little things made me feel sadness from time to time…… But I wasn’t lonely.Because I have my family.Even if they are not blood-related. They are the closest people to my heart. They said the true family is people you wanted to grow old with. Therefore, they are my family.I never knew the scent of my mother nor her scent.The monsters take care of me like I’m some kind of princess. Someone very important wants to put their life in the line for me. Every time I wake up every morning I was showered with smiles and greetings.One day, I found a book.A storybook about a traveling mage. Written in the book are plenty of stories
Konoha woke from the pile of rumbles. Her face was covered with Shaymi’s blood. No one could see the expression she was making, but anyone would know that it wasn’t pleasant. She had just lost a friend she treated like a sister.The oath she made to herself was broken. Konoha decided to kill Audrey in the most brutal way possible.“Over limit Lightning speed!”Konoha launched herself, she conjured two swords... SlaReng vertically, then horizontally. Two slashes are immediately intercepted with Audrey’s sword. She goes forward countering with a front kick. Putting some distance between the two of them.“Light speed Acceleration!”Audrey chanted, allowing herself to move at light speed. As she disappears in front of Konoha. Konoha anticipated the next attack going behind her back where she wouldn't have any vision.She is right on the money when she blocks Audrey’s sword with her, but the sword goes through her conjured sword. As fast as she could, she let go of the lightning sword, and
Successfully hitting their target, Audrey lost her speed but wasn’t defeated. Nope, she is far from being defeated. There is no denying that Konoha's lightning punch and Kaede’s black slash are both powerful attacks. So powerful, that it could kill a human in one hit. But the creature they are fighting is not a human any longer.Knowing that their attack didn’t kill the target. Konoha and Kaede go for another attack. This time Konoha pulled her special dagger and Kaede used another of her black slash.Kaede’s sword was intercepted by Audrey’s sword, but Konoha’s dagger came to Audrey’s throat piercing through behind her neck.“...”No blood…“I’m not a human anymore, Konoha… Simply piercing my throat won’t kill me anymore.”Audrey said and grabbed Konoha’s arm. She rotated her body, throwing her away to the near mountain. After Konoha, Audrey turned to Kaede for a slash.Their speeds both match each other. Same with the power of their attack.“It’s an honor to battle the legendary her
The world is insane. The world won’t care about anyone. The world itself doesn’t have any meaning. Does that mean life has no meaning? True and false… Life will only have its meaning if people think it has a meaning. To someone living in their dreams and to someone living in their fantasies. At the end of everything, people just want happiness, not meaning.The world is insane. If you’re sane, you won’t survive for very long.I want to be happy, but what is happiness that I want to pursue? I have no idea that’s why I continue searching. I continue searching and searching.One night, I had a dream. I’m in a wonderful place filled with colorful flowers in full bloom. A vast sparkling lake and a clear blue sky.It was astoniRengly beautiful.But I wasn’t happy…In that amazingly beautiful place, I only find myself alone. There is no one to share.Life is about creating bonds. Creating concrete relationships that won’t fall no matter how many typhoons come. True happiness can only be achi
“To create the world a better place… Using destruction to give birth to a new world. To make the world unified, we only need one leader. And that was the witch, the savior of this world.”“How is she going to save the world by destroying it? I can’t understand.”“Because you’re a lowly human who doesn’t know anything. The world and the system run behind everything!!”The tiger dashed at Yusael and threw a punch. His fist was caught by Yusael using her left hand. She grasps firmly tightly, and the tiger’s hand bleeds from her strength.The princess forcefully pulled him closer and forcefully swing her fist down at his skull again.“I said that won’t work!”The tiger replied.Yusael didn’t pay attention to his words and continued smaReng his fist into the tiger's head. Blood sprayed on Yusael’s armor and robe. The blood further tainted her pretty face.The tiger's face was unrecognizable. His flesh started moving to reconstruct his head.“My supreme regeneration ability will revive me o
After entering the steel tower with the princess, The Minion of a witch cult, who was seen by the angelic princess, was immediately defeated in one powerful swoop. Her incredible magic, light magic devoured enemies on our way.This is the true strength of Yusael Archangel.She turned her glance at me and gave me a smug smile.“Hmm, looking at me with sticky eyes… Are you falling in love with me?”“That’s not it.”I won’t call this love. I merely admire her strength.And as a man who always pursues power. I found her very alluring. She is brimming with quality and personality. I’m kinda surprised at how she could be talking to me casually, as if we have known each other for a very long time.“You always seem so serious like in the past.”The past times?I’m quite sure that this is our first meeting. I have no idea what she’s referring to.I have no interest in being connected with a famous person like her. It was better to leave some stones unturned.Fighting side by side with her made
At that moment, Ren left Konoha. Or to be precise, the time Konoha grabbed Ren’s arm and threw him directly at the steel tower. The long sword wielder charges his blade with skill and energy. Glowing in brilliant blue light. He hacked down his sword and created a massive burst of energy in one area.The blinding light vanished. Konoha was never seen on the ground. Zeha looked around searching. Concealing her magic and presence, the light-brown haired girl had her position right up above Zeha’s head.Her feet discharge lightning and Ax kicks Zeha from his head. Forcefully blowing him down to the earth. This wasn’t the full power of Konoha. She was serious. This attack was lethal and could kill her opponent immediately. The attack originally had a hammer-like a force that could blast off a human head. There were times before Konoha used this magic and added a sharp conjured blade to her feet.“Sword skill: Instant stance.”His body moves far instantly, creating a 20-meter gap between hi
“I’ll distract him… Lightning Flash.”Blinding light radiated from Konoha’s body. So bright even that I can see anything for a moment. I felt someone grab my arm and I was tossed away with such force.My body was flying straight to the steel tower. Before I have my head craReng into the wall that supposes to be made of thick iron. I pulled my sword and blast flames. Decreasing the force impact. I then have my proper landing on the ground.The steel tower had no window as the description said. Seems like I have no choice but to climb this tower from the bottom floor to the top floor.Konoha is very strong I know she can defeat Zeha with her strength. I shouldn’t worry about her. I have to think of a better way to climb the top of the tower on my own. The side of the tower where I’m currently where was the one facing the forest area. The battle seems to be continuously happening in the north and advancing.Taking another look at the tower. I won’t say this place is a tower. This place i
At exactly 6:00 PM, the adventurers are all deployed to steel island using a spatial portal. Our location was in the south mountain area. A place away from the ongoing battle between the knights of the four kingdoms and the witch cult. As much as possible Scarlet explained to us to avoid battle and go straight to our plan. The mission was simple, sneak to the steel tower and reach the top where the witch of darkness was.And kill her.“This mission is about killing a living breathing human being. Are you sure that you really want to come?”I asked Konoha whose on my side looking calm as she stare above the beautiful night sky.“I don’t believe in the witch of darkness.”“What do you mean?”“I mean, there is no such thing in this world that could destroy the world. If there is, why would they need to destroy this world? Without this world, they’ll also die. I not going to kill her… I’ll capture her. How about you? Are you going to kill her?”The witch of darkness was probably Hikari. T
“Are you sure about this?”I asked.“Yeah, give me everything you have.”Ren replied with her sword already pulled out from its sheath.We stand 10-meters away opposing one another.You must be wondering why the two soon-to-be lovers are currently fighting one another. The reasoning is quite simple. After the meeting held in the castle. We are ordered to prepare ourselves for the big fight happening tonight. The celestial city is near the steel island so there is no need to hurry.Had lots of time at our disposal before the real fight began. Ren suggested that the two of us fight one another.That brings us outside of Celestial city, at the shore near the Sapphire archipelago. The same shore where I met the candy coral pirate not long time ago. Stepping backinton this land brings back memories.I saw Ren use his sword many times. His sword ability is the most dangerous one. The flame on his sword could burn anything. The undying flames of the flaming sword. Flames will continue to bur
Adventurers participating in the mission gathered around the castle theater hall. Turning my head left and right. I could see plenty of adventurers, but not as many as I expected. The number of adventurers who attended didn’t even reach a hundred.“Ren, are we going to be okay?”I asked the man seating on my right.“What do you mean?”“I mean the number of us… There are over thousands of witch cults on the island right? Are we enough to fight those evil wizards?”“I can’t say for sure. But I heard that most of the people here are A-rank adventurers. Quality sometimes can beat quantity.”He speaks without turning his eyes onto me. He had a fixated eye on the stage waiting. On my left side, Alicia is looking a little nervous. Her head was placed low and her hands laying on her legs were shaking a little.“What’s the matter, Alicia? Is there something bothering you?”“I feared that thing might not go well for me… Early this morning I saw in the newspaper that I become a missing person. I
We reached the Celestial City without trouble. Well, there was trouble, but it's quite insignificant compared to the troubles I have been through these past years. Ren refused to give me something to eat and I nearly died of starvation. I was fortunate that there was an angel with us named Alicia who shared some of her food with me. The side that I liked and hated about Ren was his seriousness. What he meant is what he meant. There is no changing it… Probably…(Ren does change his mind sometimes. I just didn’t know how to trigger it. He is very unpredictable sometimes. Me being a cute girl doesn’t affect him at all. He's the type of man that doesn't chase cute girls. I like it, but the idea frustrates me sometimes.)This was my first time in the city. Like what I heard about the Celestial City. The city is nearly as big as the capital city. The difference is that this city is built on an artificial island and it is not owned by any kingdom. People in this place were said to be slaves,
Life is always important. Good or Evil... That is what I want to believe. I, Konoha travel previously killed countless people. I decided to value life more. It's been months since the last time I killed someone. I tried not to but she left me no choice.I still think about it sometimes. What is the possible way to save Audrey from her suffering? Why does innocent Shaymi need to die?The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. I try not to hate anyone. The concept of good and evil might be beyond me. Maybe it is beyond human understanding. Or maybe I'm an airhead who can't see the truth.Anyways, the lesson of the past remained. Even though I failed in sticking to my principle of not killing. I will continue to look for a way not to kill anyone as much as possible. It's the same way of thinking I want Ren to have.I put down my pen as I finished writing my Travelogue."Wait, something good happened earlier. Better put it too."I took my own again and wrote it down.Ren'
