章節 19: My Fault
My name is May Gem. Today, I was now in a total worst situation of all.
"Lux? Elm? Where are you?"
Yes that's right! I'm all alone after the light magic spell that Lux casted.
I am all alone, the surrounding is so quiet. I'm trembling, and I never expected that this would happen. I wonder, where are they?
"Lux? Elm?"
I walked further from my current location to find them, however, I don't know the direction, I forgot the path we went to. At any moment, the sky is about to turn dark, and this is the worst ever. Will I die? Is this the end?
I wonder why I would like to go here, even though I came here for that Spirit Stone. This has been crossing my mind lately from the moment I went training with Lux and Elm. It's as if I want to go here with different reason. I was happy and excited when we are about to head in this demon forest. But why? I feel there's something is going on my head.
"Ughh!! Aghh!"
Suddenly, I feel extreme pain inside my head. During this time, I caught an image in my head, which I believe, it is something I've experienced before. And yes, I know I was reincarnated in this world where magic exists. But what I saw in my head which is going to be my memory from my past life, is a man wearing a black coat and he is holding something when I am about to run into him.
"Wait? Run into him?"
Now that I've think about it, during the time I've retained my memory from my past life, I remember that there is something that is blocking my view in that part of memory. At this moment, I can partially see something in that memory, but for some reason I can't recognize what is happening since my memory in that part is hazy.
But how does it connect to my current situation right now?
My head is still aching, my field of view suddenly become smaller as I walk towards to unknown path. The road was very stiff, I walked further and the sky is slowly turning dark. As I go further, the color of the leaves of the plants and trees change.
The color of the leaves are red and orange, some are withered, some are on fire. Since my field of view is smaller, my eyesight is affected. I wonder why and something's wierd. These plants and trees are on fire, but why aren't they burning? I can see some leaves are withered, but why some leaves on fire aren't?
Where am I anyway? Did I go further from the edge of this demon forest?
"Hahahaha!" An unknown evil laugh.
I tried to calm myself, I hold my sword on the back to get ready. I prepared my crimson stone enchantment just in case I need more power.
BOOM!
A massive explosion appeared farther from behind. The explosion caused tremor on the land, it is extremely strong, the tremor lasts for about twenty seconds and if I measure the magnitude, it might even surpass magnitude 8.0, I can tell that this earthquake reaches from here and the nearby kingdom around the eastern region of the continent. The most affected kingdom was possibly the Kingdom of Liffos since it is located near at its boundary. The heat coming from the explosion was also extremely hot, thanks to my crimson stone enchantment "Barrier" it protected me from being burned, it also protected me from the strong wind or shockwave from that explosion. From the explosion, it caused a majority damages from its surrounding, my crimson stone remained active as the hot air remains. But where that evil laugh comes from? And that explosion, who or what caused that?
"How did you get here?" A stranger appeared from behind and asked me.
I immediate pointed the sword to "him". Yes, that stranger is a guy, he is totally suspicious from appearing out of nowhere. He seems calm even after that explosion happened, and I bet he is a demon just like that tanned demon girl we have encountered earlier. He walked closer and suddenly I feel like my condition is back at the better state, my field of view returned to normal which makes my eyesight better.
"Huh? Wha? What happened? I feel better."
Even after that, he is still suspicious, he is a demon alright, I knew it. However, this guy's skin is white, he seems different from that girl earlier. All I know is that demon was supposed to have tanned skin. But why this guy is not?
"Wo… Who are you? Don't come closer!" I asked and walked backwards.
After asking, he didn't even respond and walked closer to me. I'm trembling out of fear and I am getting nervous. By the time he really did get closer to me, I closed my eyes and swing the sword to slash him. I don't know if I did hit him, I swing my sword many times and I feel like I'm hitting him, but for some reason, why it feels like his body is tough as rock?
"Why are you slashing the rock?" He asked.
He has spoken, then I opened my eyes, and I literally hitting the rock instead of him. How did that happened? How did I get in this position? I didn't even move a bit from my current place.
"You are swinging the sword with your eyes closed, are you an idiot?"
"Wha… what?!"
"Don't worry, I am not a demon. I came here for a certain mission. Let me introduce myself…"
My name is Benjamin, I am one of the Elite Noble Warrior of the Kingdom of Liffos.
"An elite? Can you prove it?"
"Of course, here is my insignia symbolizing that I am one of the Elite Noble Warrior."
He showed me that insignia, and that proves it that he is one of them. From the looks of his eyes, it is color green, then that means he is a Life Aptitude Mage just like my mother that explains why I am completely healed when he came closer. I put down my sword and felt relief.
"By the way, what are you doing in a place like this? Did you come here alone?" He asked.
"No, I have two other companion with me, however, I lost them after one of my companion casted a light magic spell."
"Now where are they?" He asked.
"I don't know. But I want to ask, who made that explosion?" I asked.
I am curious what made that explosion to happened. More importantly, I am more worried about Lux and Elm.
"That explosion, is probably one of the demon's doing. The explosion is so strong, and it is enough to kill me, however, thanks to my green stone, I am well protected. And… about that companion you are talking about…"
"Was their name are Lux Solis and Efren Lima?" He asked.
How did he know them?
"How did you know? Have you met before?"
"Yes, but I have to be honest with you… About those two, during that explosion, only one person had survived."
"What?!" I'm shocked.
What does he mean by "Only one person had survived"? Does that mean one of them is dead? No, I can't believe such thing.
"How can you tell?" I asked.
"I am telling the truth, I am going to tell you straight that Efren Lima is the only one who had survived… While Lux Solis body is nowhere to be found. I've witnessed the explosion very close. You don't have to be worry about Efren Lima, I brought him back to the safe place, he is now being treated well. While being treated, he told me to find a girl in a forest, which I thought he is refering to you."
Now I see…
This means…
The reason why all these happened…
It is all my fault…
Lux…
I lost conscious after that…
