When those words escaped the young man's lips, the tip of Elisabeth's fingers shuddered for a second. Subconsciously, she moved that hand behind her and awkwardly smiled. Aaron's commanding tone gave her a surprise, but that didn't mean she had to act uncomfortable so as to not further provoke the young man.
"No! Not at all. There was an assignment from the college, about the hotel's rooms and stuff. So that's why…" answered Elizabeth while she shook her hand. At the same time, she thought, 'Assignment excuse… Even twelve year olds would notice such a lame excuse, urgh.'
Surprisingly, the young man replaced his previous frown with a few innocent blinks. Then, his eyes wandered the room as he murmured, "I see&helli

While Aaron was sitting on the chair, Elizabeth settled on top of the bed as she observed Aaron's features more closely. The young man's pale complexion and that eye of his was still eye-catching in Elizabeth's view. But now, she just noticed another peculiar trait of the young man. Aaron… Didn't have a shadow. Whenever and wherever the young man moved or stood, there wouldn't be any shade of his figure. The moment she realized that fact, the notion of Aaron being only a holographic image crossed her mind. But that idea was quickly discarded, considering how real the person in front of her feels. Not to mention, she didn't think that the latest holographic technology would be so smooth as to project someone's image so naturally. "So…" shifting her eye

"Me?" asked Elizabeth back as she raised her eyebrows a little. "They are looking for you," looking directly into Elizabeth's eyes, Aaron continued, "They hunted you, just like the others." "The others…? Are you implying that-" Abruptly, Aaron stood up and turned his head to the right side. It was as if his gaze bore through the walls, with his brows furrowed deeper in time and his face becoming more stiff. Then, he looked at the confused Elizabeth and stated without showing any expression, "They are coming." In the next second, the light bulb

'Where…'Within her panicked breath, Elizabeth's steps didn't slow down for a moment as she looked at her surroundings. Even when she could faintly hear the loud sounds of the battle in front of afar, the hallway of the hotel was unusually quiet. For a second, she wondered if she was the only person inside of the hotel's building.'Where's everybody?!'Soon, she found herself she had arrived at the hotel's lift with still no one in sight. But the moment when she was about to touch the button of the lift, something stopped her finger. Right when her finger was only five centimeters away from the button.A sense of Deja Vu emerged within Elizabeth's chest while she hurriedly placed her h

"Do you need any more help, Miss Elizabeth?"Half an hour later after both Elizabeth and the staff she stumbled across the hallway finally confirmed her identity as a customer in the receptionist desk, that same staff agreed to open the door of her room with spare keys. Though the young man and the receptionist bombarded questions to Elizabeth about how she could get out of a locked room without her keys, Elizabeth simply stated an awful lie about how the door wasn't locked back then and then magically locked by itself.Of course, the receptionist and the staff didn't believe what she had said. But since Elizabeth was adamant about that being the case and coincidentally, the camera in the hallway didn't catch the scene of Elizabeth going out of her room as well. It was as if she mysteriously appeared on the other side of the ha

"Would this place be fine?"With an unsure tone, Elizabeth glanced around her surroundings as her eyes squinted. The cramped space of some deserted alleyway entered her vision. With the poor lighting of the area, it gave out an ominous atmosphere in her mind."It shouldn't be a problem." uttered the bat that was sitting right atop of her shoulder. Looking at the bat, Elizabeth smiled wryly and said, "Is there no other place except this one?""If you are worried about some mugges, then they wouldn't be a problem. Though I've temporarily resorted to utilizing familiars, those small-time criminals wouldn't be a challenge."Heading how Aaron was confident, Elizabeth subconsciously asked back, "Then what if those h

Dark Eater Chapter 78 - Interrogation
"So you are saying both of you found this body just as you had entered the classroom? Didn't you see anything strange before that?"Somewhere inside a room filled with only a single table and some chairs, a middle aged man with a sharp nose and a long scar running from his forehead to his cheek was squinting his eyes at the suspect before him. The faint smell of cigars and caffeine lingered on his breath if one was close enough. Unfortunately for him, the rest of the people within this room were mildly bothered by his unsightly side.Contrary to his intimidating image, the man beside him who looks much younger than him was smiling warmly at the suspect. After working with the middle aged man for half a decade, the young man knows full well how poorly executed his friend's 'peaceful interrogation' would be.

When the striking blonde hair came to her sight, Elizabeth halted her steps and stared unblinkingly. The guy who she had once met to talk about their favorite books was now dressed in formal attire. His sunny smile greeted the people around him as they followed him leisurely. Some of them seem to be around his age, while the others ranged from being younger than him or older.Even from afar, she noticed how the young man interacted with those near him. At times, he laughed at a guy who looked older than him. On the other hand, he would pay attention to the kid that looks like thirteen years old."Someone you know?"Turning his head to Ellie who had followed her line of sight at Kevin's figure, Elizabeth simply nodded. Then, Ellie gazed back at Elizabeth and asked, "You

'I can't get out of this barrier.'The second he realized this fact, a slight panic emerged within his mind. Yet, calm still reigned over his senses and as he watched the second most dangerous being he had ever crossed in his millions of reincarnations, Ludwig displayed a fearless smile."So you want to execute me right here right now?""You defiled the Sacred Pearl for your purpose, Author." Walking to the slowly dying Ludwig, Edmurd spoke, "I could care less of the countless conflicts and conspiracies you've caused in the human world to impede the progress of Sacred Heart or to nurture your little champion. But touching one of the origins of the world had crossed the line.""Trying to justify your action? Wh

"...The magic power…""This… !""How…"All of the wizards in the chamber let out panicked screams when they saw their magic dissipated into thin air. No matter how many times they chanted the runic languages, the talismans and artifacts didn't respond at all as if they had turned into ordinary items.'What's this flow…'Looking at how things had unfolded, Aaron widened his eyes as he noticed the flow in the air shifted into something he had never witnessed before. He who was the most sensitive in sensing the magic power of the wizards realized that their flow became chaotic all of sudden. To the point they even cast the mos

"Valkyrie…"Muttering that name, the image of a beautiful woman in armor flashed in her head as she compared the image to the creature before her. She couldn't see any semblance for the creature to possess such a title. But putting aside the weird naming style, she continued her words, "What do you want me? Am I in the headquarters of the Sacred Heart?""You catch on quickly," nodding his head, Valkyrie said, "for your first question, I want your blood and life. For the second question, yes, you are right in the middle of our headquarters."'Blood and life… a sacrifice?' widening her eyes, her attention shifted into the second answer while she glanced to half round shaped steel restraining her limbs. As her face became paler, Valkyrie clapped his bony han

"So, this time for you to be taken by them and brought to that thing has come…"The familiar voice fell on her ears as she looked around her. With nothing but white space stretched into the horizon, Elizabeth felt the sense of Deja Vu and clenched her fists. A strange, uncomfortable feeling spread all over her skin yet she couldn't quite describe it. Rather than itching, those feelings were as if something had struck her everywhere, leaving no spots unchecked, giving her a gross sensation that made her shudder."What are you doing to me!?" she shouted, half expecting the voice would give a proper explanation for she knew that she was back at that strange vision she had for quite a while. However, another part of her knew better that the voice wouldn't respond to her. That was how it always was and she didn't think this t
Chapter 197 - Infiltration
When the first touch of twilight appeared on the far horizon, at last, the convoy of Humvees stopped at the middle of the road which led to the mountain range outside of the city. Unlike when it was high noon where many types of tourists and students came to the mountains, there was almost no one around this road at this time. Only a few vehicles would be spotted on their way.One of the soldiers got out of the car and walked to the very front of the line. As he chanted, he raised the plate-like item with multiple magic circles engraved in it. Performing some hand signs, he finally placed the plate on the ground and still continued his chant. Before long, a bright blue light emerged from thin air and formed a large oval shaped gate, hovering right on top of the plate.Backing away, the soldier went back to his car and the

Outside of the military base.The once tranquil night descended upon the spacious field which was filled with littered corpses and blackened holes. The moon had already moved to the far horizon as some of the stars twinkled for the last time before they faded into the dark sky. Though flames flickered everywhere whilst groans of pain became the flowing hymn of the once bloodied fight, most of the casualties were inflicted to the mercenaries."...This is crazy."A mutter was uttered by a lone soldier while he stood amidst the battlefield. Some of his comrades were trying to detain the surviving enemies lying on the ground. His task was no different than them but for quite a while, he could only heaps of corpses rather than heavily injured combatants.

When the sharp steel brushed through his cheek, the scarlet sword on his hand struck right at the demon's neck, bringing forth superhuman force behind it and destroying half of its throat. Instead of showing any reactions, the demon pursued further with five metallic limbs sprouting from its back.Most of the strikes were parried by Aaron whilst he observed the movements of his foe. Despite both being in deadlock for a while, deep down, Aaron realized that in an endurance battle, even he would lose to this artificial demon.'But it won't take that long.'As his eyes glowed brighter than before, his pace doubled in the blink of an eye, to the point not even the demon could follow. Dozens of slashes and heavy blows were sent to its metallic body, causing it to open its m

Although the azure steel blade before him weighed almost five tons, Aaron still blocked it completely. A few moments later, his crystallized sword showed signs of cracks before he had tried to swat the azure blade away."Aaron…"Hearing she's called out to him had prompted him to turn his head and gazed upon her straightforward eyes. Before he could utter a reply, however, he felt a danger coming from his back and split his body into countless bats scattered around the place. Still, the blade managed to skewer three of the bats and flicked them to the ground.Appearing right beside Elizabeth, Aaron fixated his eyes onto the creature whilst he said in a grim voice, "You've become famous over the last few days in this world and weeks in another, dear friend.

"Are they going to be fine?"Walking beside Leonard and a girl that was as tall as her, with pigtails hairstyle, and white dress, Elizabeth asked with concern. Without turning her head, the girl who introduced herself as Violet back in the Esper's lounge, now smiling confidently and spoke,"It's true that things get a little out of hand. But considering his powerful captain is, he probably took out their leader in no time and then targeted the rest of the terrorists next."Hearing Violet uttered with such confidence, Elizabeth shifted her head forward and tried to dismiss her worry. She had seen how Kevin fared before she had time to evacuate since things became dicey. Although he couldn't deal with the wizard in a short time, he almost had the wizard if not for the do
