Chapter 1281: Persona and Sierra
The Red Knights had returned to the heavens, leaving only Yuvel and Oldona behind. That said, those two must be completely spent after such an intense battle. I doubt they have much time left.
Iâd love to treat them to a good meal and give them some time to heal up, but that seems like a pipe dream.
ăThereâs a ton of evil energy gushing out from the direction of the capital.ă
ăDid the fragments revive?ă
ăI have to say itâs only a matter of time at this rate.ă
Considering how Laranflura dealt them a heavy blow at the end, we probably have her to to thank for delaying their full revival.
ăYou havenât changed your mind about running?ă
ïŒNn.ïŒ
That much was obvious. Fran would never run away and abandon so many people.
From my point of view as Franâs guardian, I still wanted her to escape before things get tough. Fighting an Evil God Fragment was simply too dangerous. freewebnov(e)l.com
But as her partner, I had no doubts she would confront the Evil God Fragment head on.
If you ask me, Fran ignoring her values and running would make her no longer âFranâ.
As usual, we reserve retreat for a last resort once victory is no longer possible. Fran has always given everything a first shot.
In which case, itâs my job as her partner to support her wholeheartedly despite my worries.
ăThen we head to the capital of Raydoss.ă
ăNn.ă
That said, can our friends even keep going? Fran and I may be pretty exhausted, but not to the point of incapacitation. We could rest up while on the move.
What about the others?
We went around asking everyone, but none of them backed down. Amanda, Jean, and Forrund were ready to fight in spite of their very visible fatigue.
ăThereâs no way I can allow a fragment of the Evil God to run free. It will bring suffering to so many children.ă
ăEspecially since Kranzel canât simply stand back and watch if an Evil God Fragment is resurrected in a neighboring country.ă
ăI can still fight.ă
All of our friends turned to face the direction of the capital with determination in their hearts.
ăMaleficent, what about you?ă
ăâŠIâll go, of course. The gods have commanded me to do so.ă
As one of the three divine sword wielders on this continent, he had been commanded to strike down the Evil God. Apparently, a wielder turning their back on this mission runs the possibility of receiving divine punishment.
ăHoweverâŠă
He must be worried about Persona. The girl was still unconscious, so carrying her onto a battlefield was a bitâŠ
ăâŠIâll go too.ă
Persona spoke, having woken up without anyone noticing. The spirit Marle, who had been accompanying her, was happily fluttering around.
ăPersona, youâre awake! And⊠your wordsâŠă
ăI can talk now.ă
With the loss of âSource of the Data Godâ, Persona seems to have regained the ability to speak properly. She looked upwards at Maleficent and spoke for all of us to hear.
Well, I suppose itâs not like she was actually mute. She had simply chosen not to speak.
But now, there was no need for that anymore. Despite losing an overwhelmingly powerful skill, Personaâs expression was bright.
Maleficent also looked happy. For both of them, it seems to be a welcome change.
Persona removed her mask, revealing a childlike and beautiful face with a gentle smile.
ăâŠMaleficent. Thank you.ă
ăPersonaâŠ!ă
Persona tightened her grip on the hands holding Maleficentâs clothes, and buried her face in her partnerâs neck. Maleficent gently stroke the girlâs back.
Ironically, Persona might be the least exhausted out of all of us. Having lost Source of the Data God, her âWhite Sheetâ ability that was the basis for her alias had also disappeared. Appraisal now works on her.
I canât say anything about that âdamage to the soulâ stuff, but her health and mana were pretty much full. The only issue I noticed was her being a bit tired due to having just woken up.
No disrespect intended, but her abilities were unexpected high. Despite losing the Source of the Data God, she had several high-level skills fitting for a Rank B mage.
ăYou no longer have Source of the Data God then?ă
ăYeah. Itâs gone for good.ă
It seems the skill vanished along with the destruction of the giant crystal. Though a powerful skill, it was too much for mortals to handle. This outcome was probably for the best.
Meanwhile, Sierra was sitting off to the side and staring blankly into space.
ăSierra? You okay?ă
ăâŠYeah.ă
He nodded, but his mind seemed to be somewhere else.
ăBut what nowâŠ?ă
ăNn?ă
ăHow do I live from now on?ă
ă?ă
Sierra is not originally from this timeline, and his alternate self Romeo still exists. While he may have accomplished his goal of revenge, there was never any way for him to return.
He was starting to lose sight of his purpose for living in a world where he didnât belong in.
However, Fran simply tilted her head and responded casually. Her expression seemed to convey the feeling of, âWhy are you asking such an obvious question?â
ăJust do what you want.ă
ăâŠWhat I want?ă đđđđđŹđđđ·đ€đ«đđ”.đđ€đ
ăNn. Sierra, you can do whatever you want now.ă
ăâŠWhatever I wantâŠă
Sierra seemed to ponder the words for a moment, before suddenly putting on a relieved smile.
ăYouâre exactly right.ă
ăNn.ă
Fran also smiled faintly. The two seem to be much closer now.
ăI guess our first order of business will be paying the Evil God a visit.ă
ăNn!ă
