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. Of co
"...Kevin?"A little stunned at the man's dramatic entry and cliched like, Elizabeth gazed at his back with a deep frown. Many questions were already at the tip of her tongue but she swallowed it all and instead replied, "You have to win. I don't want to see you get beaten like last time."An awkward laugh ensued as Kevin nodded his head without turning back. Somehow, Elizabeth could see the tips of Kevin's ears were so red whilst he walked to the opposing Esper."The hell are-"Again, the esper's words were cut off while a giant hole replaced the carved face. Clicking his tongue, Kevin said, "Is that all?"The ground rumbled in the next second below
"Kevin…"Uttering that name, Elizabeth frowned deeply as she said, "I have a lot of questions.""I know and I'll be answering all of them shortly," With a nod, Kevin continued, "But for now, you should take a rest first.""Excuse me."Out of nowhere, Ellie stood straight and stared at the arriving Kevin. As her eyes narrowed, she stated, "I thought I've already said that there won't be further discussion before my friend recovers from her injuries.""My apologies for the unannounced visit, Miss Ellie. But I've come as a friend, not a military officer.""I don't think that-"
In the next morning, when the sunlight beamed through the room's window, Elizabeth was roused from her slumber and found a nurse already standing beside her whilst writing some stuff on a note. When the nurse noticed Elizabeth's look, she smiled and greeted her, "Morning, miss Elizabeth. It's time for your morning medicine.""...Medicine?" sitting up, Elizabeth moved her eyes and saw a glass of water, a bottle of pills, and breakfast tray beside them. Tilting her head, she asked, "What kind of medicine?""It's to speed up your muscle regeneration, increase your blood and make your body immune. The bullet penetrated deep until it reached your bone. Added with the blood loss, it's a miracle you haven't died yet and still could move around in that state, miss Elizabeth. We even have to do a surgery to take out the bullet. Come, with thi
