The die hangs perfectly around his neck. He tightens his shirt collar to cover the pendant. He tidies up his hair, feeling it's gotten too long. He trims the thin beard that has grown on his jaw after washing his face. The sword hanging not far from his sleeping bag, he takes and straps perfectly on his back. The two swords that always accompanied him in battles before are back by his side. Also, the pistol with full ammunition is in his tall boots and on his waistband. Everything he used to wear is back on him. Intact."You're back, Xavier," Seth pulls aside the tent curtain and enters without permission, annoying Xavier. "Oh, seeing your displeased face makes me feel like entering a girl's room without permission."Xavier doesn't respond. "I'm not dead, Seth." He double-checks his appearance, which he kind of missed. The last he remembers; he was in a very bad state. And it seems understandable to find out who helped him, as anyone who helped him then truly helped him.Hearing Xavie
In another tent, Gala seems to be doing the same as his father. He checks himself in the mirror with a somewhat hesitant look at his reflection. His eyes never leave the necklace around his neck. The die resembles his father's. A perfect duplicate, somehow his father managed to do something he considered impossible, but in reality, the object is right there near him. It glows in the same color as the one that adorned his neck not too long ago.A time when he was like everyone else, racing through many things, experiencing and dealing with many surprises he never imagined in his life. He remembers all those amazing things, recorded as a unique experience in his mind. Despite the very high level of concern, Gala truly believes that he will be fine. Not because this die will protect him, but because he will fight to provide protection for himself and others.Day by day, he realizes that besides being dangerous, this die is also a medium that can make others depend on him. What can't the
The incident when Bellamie was kidnapped.Bellamie really wants to curse the woman who arbitrarily pulled her away from her husband. They were together just a while ago. There's still so much Bellamie wants to ask and say. At least share so many complaints while they are apart. No idea who this beautiful woman is, but she could be considered crazy and terrifying. Because from her hands, Bellamie received two slaps that were enough to make her head spin. The corner of her lips is bleeding. Her arms feel extremely hot. She can feel the annoying pain because of the rope still binding her.Not to mention the rough pushes that make her move quickly, following the steps of the woman in a blood-colored robe. So deep red. In contrast to her skin as pale as marble. Who is she? But Xavier clearly called her name earlier. If not mistaken, her name is... Freya? Well, it's not that Bellamie doesn't want to remember, but the more she digs into her memory about that name, she doesn't find anything.
They hit the sandy road again after making sure the overnight spots among those big rocks were left without a trace. It's not that everything was erased without a reason, but due to a specific consideration where the wind always comes from an uncertain direction, it could cause a problem later on. According to the original plan, Gala disagreed, but his father convinced him to comply with his wishes. Plus, Seth Rafael fully supported it and would be by his father's side when, in the end, his father encountered the Great Gideon himself.Gala doesn't fully believe Seth's words, but he still has very high concerns about the risks his father will face. He protests repeatedly but always gets shut down with meaningful claps and smiles from his father. Gala loses his voice, and in a ridiculous move, he seeks Alex's help through his eyes to sabotage his father's plan. Instead, he gets something that truly infuriates him."Just follow it, kid. I'm sure your father knows what's best. He's famous
Bellamie's loud voice echoes, making Gideon grin with satisfaction. In front of him, the kid falls, and he immediately gets a barrage of various weapons from all sides. Neither side benefits, but it's clear that Gideon wins. His forces, without moving at all, continue to press the people with Gala. Gideon observes their faces one by one, and they all seem tense. Clearly, below his feet, the body of the young man who, since their first meeting, has fueled his frustration and anger, is now powerless."Easier this way, huh?" Gideon says with emphasis. He slightly bows and examines the necklace and the glowing orange dice pendant there. His grin suddenly widens, and his joy peaks. He didn't expect it to be this easy, where he could quickly incapacitate without much ado. For what? Finishing it quickly is his desire. Then, after the dice in his hand, he only needs to eliminate the rest.If he had thought long enough to find a weak point in a Galaksi Haidar, which is Bellamie, he wouldn't ha
"No one else is gone bother this fight, Gideon," Xavier says right above the train that suddenly appears out of nowhere. The landscape of South Metro City seems to be under his feet, and the inverted position of the sun forces him to quickly get used to it. Dice takes them into a mirror world where all positions, layouts, and anything moving in the supposed world are the opposite.Xavier once entered this world to meet Cathleen before he fell unconscious, where according to Kyler, the girl should have already died. But for some reason, something held him until he closed his eyes for almost three years. He has to find answers in the past, which he can only enter through a world like this. Plus, time is very short. So, before Xavier enters this mirror world, he must memorize exactly where he will pass and meet Cathleen when she's around 17 years old.An old man with a quite eccentric appearance in Xavier's eyes is the one he encounters. Not Cathleen, even though there are only five minu
Gala's breath catches as he sees his father rendered helpless by the whip of Gideon. He should be in his father's position. Perhaps if he had fought Gideon, the situation wouldn't be like this. It's not that Gala doesn't believe in his father's abilities, but really, he could never bear to see his father kneel like that. Although the light in his eyes doesn't suggest defeat, everything visible is still skillfully used by Gideon. It's as if... Xavier has been thoroughly defeated."I'm sure all you honorable leaders of Metro can hear me!" Gideon shouts loudly. Gala is confident that whatever the leaders are doing, it must come to a halt. "Xavier is in my hands, and with one shot, I'll ensure his life leaves his body."In three different places, hearing Gideon's echoing words almost everywhere makes them realize that something is happening beyond the plan."Capture them all!" Gideon orders firmly.Gideon's forces quickly move and subdue them all without facing any resistance. Even though
"Glad to meet you again, Sir," Dice whispers very softly. It drained a lot of her energy to keep the portal to the mirror world from closing immediately as Xavier needed. Still, it seems the master has enough trouble making Gideon kneel. Dice has realized that, especially since her scans have never misjudged the figure of Xavier Horratio, who has just risen from his long sleep.The master has many weaknesses, but it seems he insists on facing Gideon. If only Dice hadn't restrained her movements and slowed down Gideon, Xavier would have been killed when the ruler threw his dart. Remembering their duel in the mirror world makes Dice worried. Although she protested a lot, as usual, Xavier remained stubborn. Maybe this time, it's not that he doesn't want to hear Dice's complaints, but more about his personal vengeance against Gideon.Who knows what Xavier wants because his master doesn't talk much like Gala, who often gives him a headache. Nevertheless, Dice knows the direction Gala wants
