Chapter 392: Break Time

Farah's POV

The girl seemed to be surprised when we confiscated her sword.

-How comes you guys are fine?

Hale knits her brow and stares at the girl.

-What are you talking about? (Hale)

The girl glances at her sword of her.

-That sword can even corrupt the servant of the goddess. But you, a monster, don't show any sign of being affected by it.

Hale lets out a dry laugh.

-You know what? (Hale)

-?

-Because your sword was just a fake...Because of that, it couldn't do a single thing to me. (Hale)

-Fake?

Hale bends down and glares at the girl.

-Have you ever questioned yourself? (Hale)

-Yes?

-You are just a puppet dancing in the hand of the goddess. (Hale)

-Hale! (Farah)

I shout and try to stop Hale from revealing the girl about the truth. However, the dark energy comes from her hand and stuffs my mouth. I can no longer utter a single word in this situation.

-Huh!

The girl doesn't shake in front of Hale's statement.

-How could I not know about it?

The girl releases her blood lust and overwhelms the surrounding.

-I will take down all of them. I...

Hale hits the girl's head to stop the girl from releasing her bloodlust.

-I don't want to hear your reason. (Hale)

The girl grinds her teeth and stares at Hale intensely.

-Glare as you like! You can't kill me anyway. (Hale)

I look at Hale with begging eyes. I hope Hale wouldn't tell her any further. Because once the truth comes out, I don't think the girl will be able to take it head-on. There is nothing more terrible than denying its own existence.

-... (Farah)

Hale sighs and decides to change the topic in the end.

-Why did you attack us? (Hale)

-...

-Even in this situation, you still decide not to talk? (Hale)

The girl still decides not to talk until the end. Hale gives up and turns to me.

-I almost forget about it... (Hale)

Hale flicks her hand and makes the dark energy that blocked my mouth disappear.

-Though, I want to kill this annoying one. But this girl must be the protagonist of this stage. (Hale)

I nod and glance at the girl one more time. I can almost guess her identity by looking at her hair and the sword. This girl must be the adult version of the one we saw in the last trial.

-But Hale...The people from the last trial... (Farah)

Unlike other times, the final lap doesn't rewind the time like usual. But it teleports us directly to the next stage.

-Don't worry about that, Farah. We still can rewind the time of that village one more time. I have ordered the bat girl to stay at that place. (Hale)

-Huh? (Farah)

I turn and look down at my shadow. Did the bat girl really disappear?

-That one is pretty strong. As long as the bat girl follows my instruction, we will be able to save everyone. (Hale)

Hale pats me on my head and hugs me even tighter.

-Don't worry, Farah. Everything will be just fine. (Hale)

-Moh, I know... (Farah)

-Huh? (Hale)

Suddenly, I can hear a sound coming from the girl. Hale tiredly turned to the girl and asked her in an annoyed voice.

-What? (Hale)

The girl shakes her head and mutters in a small voice.

-How can you be so close to an ordinary human?

-What do you mean? (Hale)

The girl looks at us with a surprised face.

-You, the container of those hateful goddesses. How could you be so close to a human?

-What? (Hale)

It takes me a few seconds to fully comprehend what she just said.

-I think you must be mistaken. (Farah)

-How could I...? I have killed many kinds of you many times. An absurd power inside a broken body...

Hale is using my clone...That's maybe why.

-Just ignore her, Farah. (Hale)

Hale tells me to take the tent from the storage and informs me to camp here.

-Camping? Now? (Farah)

Hale flicks my head and laughs.

-Awful... (Farah)

-You need to take a break, Farah. You have gone through all kinds of mess before reaching here. (Hale)

-But... (Farah)

I would be able to reduce the casualty If I acted a little bit faster.

-Just sleep! (Hale)

Hale brought me inside the tent and let me sleep with her inside the sleeping bag.

-The result won't change even If you are late for a few hours. You need to let your mind take some rest... (Hale)

-I... (Farah)

Hale's statement sounds reasonable. Even though I reluctantly fall to sleep, I have no choice now.

-Good night, Farah. (Hale)

I can feel the warmth of Hale through the hug. I close my eyes and utter gently.

-Good night, Hale... (Farah)

I slowly fall asleep and don't know there is some change on the other side of the battlefield.

The adult figure of the girl. Her other info will be added later once It is revealed.

Madeus

Whew, today I feel like starting something new...Which resulted in me try posting the new novel. That's why I am unable to post an extra chapter today.
