kneeled and begged to save you and your family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn's cracked lips parted to say something, but all that came out was just a whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had enough time to realize that what she did all this time was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let her anger and frustration cloud her judgment, even though she never wanted that to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal slowly helped Christina move back, away from them, while Lauryn stood in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how many times the young master has knelt in front of someone?\" Sypha asked as she placed her halberd back. \"...Only once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, glaring at her. \"Do you know how much I hate you for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why are you doing this to him?\" Lauryn asked, her voice broken. \"...Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sypha tilted her head in response. \"Who are you to ask that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn trembled, her mahogany eyes crucifying Sypha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Who are you?\" Lauryn snarled, glaring at her. \"Who are you, Esmeray?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....What?\" Sypha's voice echoed, a look of disgust in her eyes. \"Who do you think you are to call my lady by her name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer me!\" Lauryn yelled, her glare intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" Sypha clicked her tongue in response. \"...You should have just died with your family—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn burst forward, a cloud of dust erupting from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A katana in her hand as her speed kept increasing, and in an instant, she was close to Sypha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her katana moved too fast for anyone else to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But not for Sypha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand clad itself with a blackish-red aura, forming a sharp edge at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their collision sent a shockwave through the surrounding trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sypha's body blurred once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally stopped holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her left shin collided with Lauryn's ribs, the sound of bone cracking echoing through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn's body crashed hard on the ground, her breathing uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked herself up while Sypha calmly waited for her to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how much your family affected him?\" Sypha asked, glaring at her. \"...Since the day your family died, he couldn't eat anything for weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn grunted as she took her stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An illusion of snowflakes started to materialize around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bent down before her body vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowflakes rushed toward Sypha like blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura around her intensified as she turned to her left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn arrived there the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sypha's fingers curled into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowflakes tried to cut her body, but they couldn't penetrate the aura covering her like a cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A booming sound echoed through the forest as Sypha's fist collided with Lauryn's katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks appeared in her katana, making her mind turn numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body flew back from the force of the collision as she barely adjusted her balance before crashing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sypha's body blurred before reappearing right behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand plunged deep into the gap between her ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burning pain filled Lauryn's mind, which she tried to ignore before rotating her katana and sweeping it backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It barely missed Sypha's arm as she propelled herself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped down the hole in her side, but she ignored it before throwing herself toward Sypha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her katana blurred alongside her hand as she sliced it toward Sypha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her hand, Sypha just parried her katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand blurred again, dozens of new fist marks appearing over Lauryn's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body hurtled away into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, a shadow loomed over her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes could only catch a glimpse of something before a knee slammed into her ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of ribs breaking cut through the air like a dagger, Lauryn's mind screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in her lungs exploded out in a dull grunt, and she couldn't catch her breath again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire torso lit up with burning pain while her body hit the ground hard, cracks appearing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sypha took a step back as she looked down at her while she tried to move again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fist, like a hammer, hit the side of her head, making her sprawl back on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not fun,\" Sypha commented, grabbing her hair and lifting her up. \"...I don't know why the young master even bothered with lowlifes like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed her head back on the ground, blood leaking down her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Have you ever wondered why you're still alive?\" Sypha whispered in her ear. \"Because the young master begged for your life... and how did you repay him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crack appeared in the ground as her head was slammed back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worthless peasant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one last slam, Sypha threw the half-dead Lauryn, her skull broken, away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body turned as she looked back at the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina stood in front of them, glaring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am surprised you didn't try to interfere,\" she commented with a mocking smile. \"...I suppose you guys aren't that stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avril's tears started to stream again as Sypha walked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, who wants to sacrifice for others?\" she asked, but her gaze was solely on Christina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could take another step, something shone in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, her voice filled with confusion. \"...A meteorite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she focused more, she could vaguely make sense of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze stayed steady on the burning flames falling from above, her lips parted again. \"...A Crown?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A broken purple crown hurled toward the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head abruptly turned to her side as she felt goosebumps all over her body, her heartbeat quickening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...She felt something from deep within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....Fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Few minutes earlier.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hollow laugh escaped my mouth as I looked down at the ground, still kneeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A myriad of emotions threatened to consume what was left of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind wasn't capable enough to understand what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....She is alive,\" I whispered weakly, my voice breaking. \"....She is alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My head slowly turned toward Aimar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was heavily injured, a deep handprint on his chest that broke his ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....He was dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly crawled toward him, my own body feeling like it was giving out, barely able to hold myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching closer to him, I placed both my hands over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I whispered weakly, a cluster of green slowly emerging from my hand, entering his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wound started to heal, slowly but surely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I tried not to think about it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I just couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Why did she do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really necessary to do something like that to an innocent child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....What did I do wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her death was the thing that pushed me to make a deal with that woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her death forced me to take extreme steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her death forced me to make the world hate me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always thought Aunt Belly was the only person who loved me without any conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I always thought that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single thing I experienced in my childhood was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I am nothing but a puppet, since I was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I am nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar's breathing turned steady, his chest no longer looking as damaged as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I crawled back, my gaze landing on the broken katana placed to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But all I did was keep looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed. I don't know how long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it perhaps five minutes or ten?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know; I just quietly sat there without doing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...What are you doing?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El's stern voice echoed in my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Are you giving up?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I can't,\" I mumbled weakly, shaking my head in response. \"...I can't do it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...There is no point in it.\" Even though he kept quiet, I continued. \"....Whatever I do, I will end up losing everything—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burning pain resonated within my body, as if something from the deepest part of my soul had moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly raised my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....A blurry figure of a tall man stood in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing was recognizable about him except those pristine long white hairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn't take me long to know who he was....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...El?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked, not entirely sure if this was real or if I was hallucinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why are you turning like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep, breathy voice echoed, making my mind scream in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even listening to his words felt like my ears were burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You act like an intelligent being.\" Ignoring my numbing mind, he continued, \"But in reality, you talk like an arrogant fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What have you even lost?\" His voice echoed as he knelt down, his blurry face in front of me, his voice echoing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....If a tree loses or gains new leaves, we don't feel sad or happy for it, what happened with you was the part of your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What do you want me to do?\" I asked, glaring at what I thought were his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blurry body slowly started to vanish as if he felt something, but his voice echoed again. \"Bury everything that makes you weak... build a wall around your pain and never falter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body vanished again, and the pain in my head subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This cowardice doesn't suit you, Azariah.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed outside my head, around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Believe in yourself and there will be no army within Lumina that can win against you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked my eyes to alleviate the blurriness fogging my vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ragged breath slowly calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pick your weapon, Azariah.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El's voice echoed again as I drew in a deep breath and once again glanced at the broken katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...It's your duty to protect what belongs to you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I stood up from my place and walked towards it, picking it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing back, I looked at Aimar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body slowly started to levitate in the air before hovering somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I knew I would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still moved toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, I slowly walked in the same direction as that woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I don't know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I knew I would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still moved toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...You won't lose.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...El's voice echoed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As long as I am here, you will never lose.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...How?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I wanted to believe his words...
