TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 46
Her body is
disappearing ...
All pain is already
gone, only light and heat surround her.
A warmth and
excitement she has never felt before. And joy.
Her chest is filled to
the brim with emotion.
No one has ever
challenged her like this.
No one has ever drawn
out her strength to such an extent.
No one else has ever
made ... her so serious.
Ah~ ... how wonderful.
There are no other words to describe it.
She had lived a long
and tedious time. But in this moment, for the first time in her life, she felt
a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
(Ah, and yet I still
...)
A new emotion emerged
in the midst of this contentment.
It was neither relief
nor a sense of liberation.
It was a desire for
more.
(I wanted to know
more, to see more)
Despite the fact that
the heat that has been poured into her has already consumed her body, and even
her soul is about to be extinguished, the little bit of "her" that
remains is still yearning for him.
Now that she has found
"satisfaction," she wants the "next satisfaction" so badly
that she can't help wanting it.
(How can I remain in
this world? How can I stand in front of Nozomu Bountis one more time?)
"Well, there is
nothing to doubt that he has the qualifications. But sadly, because of his
outstanding ability, he will never be able to achieve perfection. An incomplete
vessel, huh ..."
What comes to mind is
the only one who, 150 years ago, with his breath and claws, broke through her
power and wounded her. The only person she has ever known who could rival
Nozomu Bountis.
"But fortunately
for you, you are still yourself. It is better for you to remain as you are. For
the sake of your own kind ..."
And then there was
also that rude person who barged in on his own because he was curious,
disappeared when he said he had figured it out, and never showed himself again.
She had no idea what
the hell he was trying to say, but since she remembered it at this moment, then
maybe it meant something.
(Ah, well, ... It's
not so bad to do some last exercise)
She exerted all the strength
she had left. However, not only her body, but also her soul couldn't be
regenerated.
There was already only
a fragment of her soul left. Without the element as foundation, regeneration
would be impossible.
The excess of magic
power and physical strength that she had was now gone.
(Is there something
left? Anything? The only thing left inside me ...)
In the seconds before
she completely disappeared, she desperately searched for what was left. At that
moment, she sensed a slight presence.
Somewhere far away,
yet so close. A slight force, reminiscent of spring water, seeped from deep
within the frozen rock. It was dull, blood-colored crystals.
