'It's broken?'
'Is it really broken?'
No matter how many times she took a look at the ring and rubbed her eyelids, Elizabeth saw a faint crack at the gem.
The slight hope within her began to diminish in a second as it was replaced with desperation. Her lips moved to speak out the magical chant. However, after changing for the sixth time, there weren't any results at all.
'You must be kidding me…'
Regret flooded and she felt the corner of her eyes moistened. The already fatigued body slumped on the floor and the urge to laugh mockingly at herself kicked in.
Never
'Again… That name…'When she finally heard what the other party called her, Elizabeth furrowed as she took a deep breath. Another vision about someone called Ludwig. Previously, she didn't bother to think about it, especially since many things have happened to her after getting out of the gallery. Now, her interest was piqued, for it seems that these visions were intended for her.First, she would try to know more about this person through what others said. As she attentively listened to the chatter of the red haired young man, a man's shout vibrated and this time, Elizabeth felt her body jolted unconsciously."Ludwig!"Then, the red haired young man widened his eyes and slapped Eliza
"Help… Me…"Those words rang inside her heart and boomed louder than a thunderbolt. Subconsciously, she wanted to move her body and rushed to the elf's side. However, no matter what she did, the body didn't move. In fact, she found her arms and legs were shaking before she keeled over and puked out.'Is this the first time Ludwig saw an injured person?'While Elizabeth pondered what had happened, at last, the legs took a step forward and ran to the elf. It seemed like her hands were reaching out for some items in their bag and rummaged through it. Before long, a small jar-shaped container as big as her palm was taken out and then the hand poured the content to the wound.The herbal sc
After they laughed and shared the tale they had experienced together, the vision then blurred once more and now, the devastating scenery with the middle-aged man drawing a two-handed battle ax and the Demi-human who held two twin short swords as they fought against a five meters tall humanoid being, with big nose, bloated stomach, and wear only a loincloth.The world slowed down whilst she felt her legs rushing to the monster. As her eyes widened, her uncontrollable body leaped forward before she felt the previous weightlessness and everything turned upside-down.This time, she saw the long and wide river as the dwarf and the Demi human stood beside her, gazing at the scenery together. To her surprise, there was the beautiful elf whom Ludwig had saved back then. She wore skintight leather armor and was equipped with a bow
When Ellie finally let go, Elizabeth sent a second look around and asked what has been plaguing her mind the entire time, "Where are we?""You don't know?" Raising her eyebrows, it was Ellie's turn to appear to be surprised. Tilting her head, Ellie explained, "We are in a hotel that's only five blocks away from our college. But before that, how did you do that, Beth? And why do you suddenly go into a coma for more than three days?"Focusing into the last words, Elizabeth gasped whilst her eyes widened, "Wait, what? Three days!?""Yeah, I've to buy the hibernation pills for your body to have their proteins and stuff when you can't eat." Pointing at the bottle on the table, Ellie continued, "Luckily, that day our family doctor hadn't gotten home yet so you had been diagnosed b
"I told you, it's probably going to be fine…"Walking on the corridor with the stretched out long red carpet, Elizabeth glanced at Ellie who was beside her. The latter's firm expression told Elizabeth that her words seemed to reach deaf ears."Nuh-uh, I'll get you back to your own place, with my car, together. You just woke up from a coma today, remember? Letting you get back alone is definitely a no go.""You are too overprotective, Ellie.""And you are too careless, Beth," retorted immediately, Ellie shook her head, "According to what you've said to me, you've been stalked by these… weird hooded wizards for multiple times right? What makes you think you will be safe this time?"&n
"...What?" With confusion filling her head, Elizabeth was about to further question Kevin about what he meant. Yet, the man already continued his speech before she could react. "They are coming to you, Elizabeth! Where are you right now?" "Wait, what's happening, Kevin? Who are they?" Right after she asked that, multiple breaking glass noises burst from her side. Subconsciously, she lifted her arm to cover her face from whatever had happened as she screamed in shock. Before she could assess the situation, an alarm was blaring from the distance. "[Warning! Warning! There's an unauthorized esper power in the area! Please evacuate immedia
Turning her body, she didn't hesitate to rush forward and left Iron Veil to deal with the esper, despite the guilt that crawled into her chest and pounding her already drumming heart.A few seconds later, more than a couple crashing sounds echoed and Elizabeth closed her eyes as she ran. Without even glancing back, she knew that the esper must've thrown the poles to Iron Veil. If it was ordinary men, there would be no way for them to survive that.Recalling Iron Veil's identity and skills, Elizabeth reassured herself and didn't let her feet slow down even for a little. Since she didn't have the time to wear any footwear, the rough asphalt and pebbles below scraped her sole feet and burned her skin. Yet, she didn't stop, she couldn't stop.'What's on earth i
When her eyelids stirred and she roused from her slumber, Elizabeth opened her eyes and stared at the completely dark environments. As she blinked a few times to adjust the area, the moonlight from the window shone bright enough to let her see the vague outlines of everything around her while she rose.Yet, the moment she tried to move, she flinched subconsciously and recalled the injury on her shoulder. Biting her lips, she turned and tried to give it a look. Still, within this environment, she gave up and decided to get outside first before trying to put on the first aid kit herself.'But rather than buying a first aid kit chest, I should go to the hospital…'With that in mind, she conjured whatever strength was left in her and got out of the room.
