DICE [90]
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

Whether it's because Gala is too focused on pressing Gideon, where his anger never subsides, he only hears his father's words about Alexander Millian being asked not to die first. What is actually happening? What's wrong with Alex? Is something bad happening? His eyes quickly focus on the spot where he last saw Alex, also the place where his mother was trapped."Your opponent is here, Gala!" Gideon directs his trident mercilessly, making Gala step back a bit with a surprised grunt, signaling that he's taken aback by Gideon's recent action. Luckily, his reflexes are still focused enough; he swiftly raises the sword he's been using to block Gideon's trident. The trident's tip aims directly at Gala's face, where Gideon's grin looks quite satisfied.Gideon keeps pushing Gala backward and pressing him without hesitation. This makes Gala growl in frustration, and he quickly takes a wide stance on his feet. Slightly bending down to move his body, he trips Gideon's legs, using them as support

Gala gasps for breath, finding it a bit difficult to stand after Gideon's kick landed directly on his stomach. His back also hits one of the rocks, causing a sharp pain. Additionally, his hand got pricked by the tip of Gideon's spear when he tried to block as Gideon disarmed him. The wound is wide and the desert's intense heat and sand make it feel like his arm is burning. Not to mention the various points on his body that are starting to ache.Much like Gala's condition, Gideon also pants while squeezing the edge of his robe. In one pull, the robe opens, revealing only a dirty white shirt with blood splatters and sand clinging to it. Several visible tears show where he got hit due to the boy relentlessly thrusting his weapon toward him. Gideon hasn't seen the sword yet, but it seems dangerous because every time Gideon tries to break Gala's attack, he staggers a bit, as if the sword is electrified.Just like Gala's whip, which Gala intentionally made dysfunctional. This boy can't be u

"Maverick!" Alex yells, where his sword has been pulled perfectly. Repelling the sudden and quite brutal attack because these big cats are very different from the animals that have been showing the way to this strange forest. Where pine trees that used to look dense now begin to shift or not, who knows. In Alex's eyes, everything seems to be moving away as if bringing them to a fairly large but rocky place.The sky is still as dark as Alex knows. His sword swings several times, pressing the cat to retreat, but it seems their strength is immense. Alex fights against almost four animals, which have very long fangs. Their orange eyes and hisses are terrifying. Alex is sure that if he gets bitten by those fangs anywhere on his body, it will result in a deep wound. Moreover, if these creatures are mythical, it means the injuries they cause can be severe."Try not to get bitten," Alex says loudly. His sword swings again to hit one of the heads of the creature that suddenly jumps to attack h

"Okay. Forgive me. I don't know why you keep saying that I'm careless because I want to throw away the die. You owe me too much, Cathleen.""I know." Cathleen smiles thinly. Her eyes again stare at the link of their hands. "We will live long while holding hands like this, sir. Trust me. The time waiting for you won't be long. And when that day comes, I'm sure we'll all be happy together."Actually, Gala doesn't want to release the girl's grip, but once again, Cathleen's gaze is so convincing. "How long?""Be patient.""How long, Cathleen?" This time the question is so firm because Gala is not a person who likes to wait for a long time, it turns out. Especially when it comes to Cathleen. The question receives a wide smile from Cathleen. She closes it with a sweet kiss as a farewell before she really releases the link of their hands."Do many things with the people who love you, sir. I think the time waiting for you won't feel long."Gala blinked slowly."And never, ever intend to throw

Gala blinked repeatedly. He even woke up with very slow movements as if savoring the moment. In front of him, Cathleen stood with her sweet smile. The color of her face looked fresh. Her blue eyes were lively. Not to mention... oh my! Gala could hardly believe his own eyes."You... you... real?"Cathleen sighed loudly. She walked with a bit of lifting her somewhat bothersome dress. "Actually, I haven't finished my task. Why are you so careless!"The young man stood silent, motionless, with his eyes fixed only on Cathleen, who was now approaching."I've often said that this die can't be handed over. It has a special authentication code regarding its owner. When you intend to discard it, negative energy comes out just like that. And do you know what happens?"Gala is still confused. "Wait, wait! Don't say things I can't digest so quickly.""When are you going to respond to all my statements?" Cathleen grumbled to herself. She carefully took the die hanging around Gala's neck. Her lips s

Gala coughs violently. The pain in his back makes him suddenly breathless. He falls to his knees with a grin that still doesn't want to diminish even a bit. How could it diminish when he repeatedly had to hit trees or large rocks around him. The die still can't be touched again and emits a stronger blue light. Gala still remembers the first time they met in that corridor. The blue light... bright but also makes his heart quite comfortable. But this time, the blue around the die is different.Which Gala eventually realizes, the blue light comes from the hologram girl's projection. The original color of the die itself is a not-too-bright orange, not dazzling, but always makes Gala excited. Somehow the die has a way of being near Gala, but that's what the young man feels."Return," Gala whispers softly while wiping the corner of his lips slowly. The intention to throw away the die as far as possible seems to have to be reconsidered. What he is experiencing now seems to be a protest from

Xavier's earlier remark makes Maverick chuckle. "If you're joking, you should pay attention to your surroundings. If you leave my body there," Maverick points quickly, "What will happen to South Metro without me?"Xavier remains silent. He starts thinking about how to cross this seemingly endless chasm, except for the dangerous fog and steep rocks. He never knew there was a black panther guarding East Metro. He should have asked who this big cat really was before deciding to follow it. Ah, it's all because of Maverick who casually requested the big black cat for this Gala search.For some reason, his heart is restless, and everything revolves around the dice. He feels that the dice did something to Gala, and that fear is proven. In front of him is no longer the forbidden forest where the end should be a twin hill, one of its slopes slightly sloping. Indicating the border with North Metro, but what he sees is no longer what he imagined. Everything looks very different.He has lived for

Moreover, until that moment, his whereabouts were unknown. And now, for some reason, what really happened and what he went through made him even more curious."What do you want to ask, Alex?"The sturdy man is quite surprised to hear a question from Xavier. When he turns, the man next to him just laughs."Your head is so noisy."Alex blinks slowly. "Don't tell me you know what I—""You guys are too noisy," Xavier quickly interrupts, then his eyes turn to Maverick, who is still enjoying his cigar. "Especially you, Mave.""You know, I do love talking. My mouth feels cramped just being silent like this all the time. Luckily, the cigars I brought have enough stock until tomorrow." Maverick only glances briefly. "I'm sure whatever's in my head Alex won't be easy for you to share, right? So don't bait us to pressure you to speak."This time, Xavier laughed. "I still can't find the right correlation about your relationship with Gala. Has my son often visited you guys?"Both Maverick and Alex

The last trace of Seth's troops deliberately following Gala ends near the Netland village border. One of the quite remote villages but is one of the most popular tourist destinations for residents of North and South Metro. Most tourists come from both Metro regions. The village is still surrounded by evidence where snow perfectly covers its peaks, but it gets the most sunlight. Strangely, the warm light cannot make the hilltops melt. Only pine forests that still grow lush and maintain their authenticity.For this search, Seth was asked not to join, although the man insisted. But what Jiro said was true. At least for the next few days, Seth shouldn't leave the White House, especially when his heart is still uncontrollable. Losing Cathleen must be a severe blow for him. Kyler, who came earlier, also agreed with what Jiro said. Choosing to accompany Seth in this city center.Actually, for Xavier, this search is not too necessary. He is sure Gala is fine. Even if this search needs to be d

"Have you seen Gala?" Maverick has been quite curious about the young man since earlier. Since that news came, he hasn't wasted any time. Seth Rafael can't be lying, but after hundreds of years? What really happened? And how can this young man seem to know the girl in the white coffin very well? Maverick is not blind to notice that some people, including Xavier, seem very affected by this event.As far as his memory goes about the battle that took place between all of them and Gideon, there is no leader of the regions who did not survive. Everything returned to normal despite suffering some injuries. Only Gala. Yes, only that young man didn't come back. Xavier, who last met the young man, did not answer any of Maverick's questions about the whereabouts of his son. As if they were hiding something, but Maverick didn't understand.They returned with a lot of questions, which also made Mave and Alexander agree to search for the whereabouts of the young man. Although Maverick doesn't have
