Chapter 380: The Conclusion of a King's Era

—

Oh how Neji wished he could drag Quetzalcoatl to his bedroom, but sadly he didn't have time. He knew for a fact 12 hours weren't enough. He wouldn't be satisfied and neither would she. So he let her off, after a few more kisses and a gentle squeeze.

His mood wasn't all cheerful and flowery all of a sudden, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips. He walked over to the entire group, who were more or less done with their reunion drama by then.

Neji was about to give a speech, but he finally considered the two important gazes he was suffering from. He looked at Rumi's red eyes, and then at the Lion King's golden ones. Rumi wore a placid, expressionless face as she stared, her arms crossed, while Rhongomyniad merely looked confused and hesitant.

"Well, uh,"

With his mood a little higher, Neji shrugged his shoulders at them. He was still in his half-naked form, with lines of blue running through his torso, and so all his movement attracted some eyes. It suited him.

"I am sorry for sending you into the Treasury. That was the smartest decision to make... in that situation."

"Did I ask you for an explanation?" Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.comi said while staring at him still, making him open his mouth and then close it again. The others just looked between the two of them. Kurai was the only one who seemingly took his side, glaring at Rumi for talking like that to her Papa, after everything.

As his Familiar, she could feel that his emotions were in chaos for more than just this reason, and even if she couldn't she would take her father's side.

"Hey, bunny woman! Be respectful of the way you talk!"

"Kurai, hey, it's all right-"

Neji sensed the anger rising in Kurai's voice and snapped his fingers which not only silenced the group, but that single snap echoed throughout the empty planet. Still, Kurai growled in rage. Neji could feel it in their link, Kurai was not having any of that.

"No, it's not! She doesn't know what is happening, and is acting as an ungrateful bitch! Who does she think she is?! Can't she see the circumstances, can't she fucking think? Can't she just be grateful that she survived!?"

"Kurai. It's... fine. Come on, she has the right to be mad given-"

"She does not!"

"...."

Neji stopped in his tracks the moment he looked into Kurai's eyes. Tears were threatening to spill as Kurai kept speaking. Her jaws clenched. On the other hand, Rumi frowned deeply. She didn't look mad at Kurai and just looked at Neji with more intensity.

"Something else happened... What happened?"

"Nothing happened."

Neji replied sharply. Many people died in this world, such as Siduri and the three Generals he had summoned before, but there was nothing to worry about now that their group was alive and well.

"Neji, something big happened... and you're hiding it. What's going on?"

"It's nothing."

"It doesn't seem like nothing."

Neji and Rumi had a staring contest until Rumi looked away and sighed. She looked pissed off. Neji sighed too and decided to speak.

"It's personal. Don't wo-"

"You didn't actually just say that."

Rumi snapped her neck at him, her eyes wide and frowning.

"What the hell you mean 'personal'?! Since when did we have such secrets? What is personal amongst us at this point?"

Rumi was now right in front of him, and if he was wearing something on his torso she may have pulled him by the collar. Kurai growled in the back, but Neji shot her a mental message to stay back.

Neji looked down on Rumi's eyes, as she looked up; the two stared for a long minute before Neji shook his head.

"There are some secrets that you don't know about me Rumi. Nobody does. I just don't want you to suffer from those useless stories. But if I have to mention one thing why I am not in a great mood, besides our situation, it would be that we were saved by an entity called Death. It seemed Lady Luck sacrificed herself to save me... us. And I don't exactly feel great about it."

"....."

Rumi blinked. She failed to speak and just licked her lips, taking a step back and frowning to herself, looking down at the ground in embarrassment.

"Hey, don't feel bad. You didn't know."

"I..."

Rumi looked up at him and tried to say anything, but nothing came. He leaned down to hug her, patting her back and mumbling something into her ears. He didn't blame her like Kurai, this was just how Rumi was, Rumi was hurt that he didn't trust her power level enough and sent her away. Hurt that... she truly wasn't strong enough; that she wasn't useful enough to him. She didn't have any motive to hurt him more than he was already.

After canceling the hug, Rumi walked back to Kurai and lifted her up to say sorry, while the cat looked away and grumbled. But Kurai didn't push her away.

While that happened, Neji finally drew the attention of everyone.

"New Humans are roaming the Earth. I won't go as far as to call them humans though, they're Laḫmus. They're creepy and disgusting. I want you guys to go down and destroy them. The death gods here will help collect their souls."

"In truth, when the red sea touched any human, they became a Laḫmu. A large part of their soul was sent to the Underworld, but a small part was in the Laḫmu itself. All Laḫmus down there are part human. So we need to kill them all and collect that part of their soul so that I can fully condense their soul in the heaven that I created."

Neji added: "Despite being Gilgamesh, I am also Neji Hado. A true God, a Deity with powers unimaginable. These things are easy for me to do. So you guys just have to kill all the Laḫmus for me."

The larger part of the group that didn't know his other identity blinked. They frowned and looked at one another, but ultimately came to accept the truth. The aforementioned mission was what was important.

It was only the long green-haired thing, Enkidu who looked confused at what to do with this information.

"So you're not Gil?"

"I am."

Neji turned to it and said right away. Their eyes locked as Enkidu frowned.

"But you said..."

"I said I am 'also' Neji Hado. Treat it as reincarnation, past life's memories."

"Ah." The clay looked half-convinced. "That... makes sense. But in that case, are we still friends?"

Neji gave the clay person a smile. "As always. I do have the pleasant memories I spent with you."

Enkidu smiled, nodded, and then fell silent.

The next to speak was, to his surprise, the Lion King Rhongomyniad.

"King Gilgamesh,"

She called in her usual cold tone, her golden eyes locking on him.

"Or must I say Neji? I remember more than just bits of memories now."

Both Neji and Rumi snapped their heads at the woman. Neji nearly forgot why he was in this world at all. It was for her; to retrieve his Ryukyu. It was an unforeseen outcome that she had forgotten who she was, but now she said she recalled all those memories.

"Not all," Rhongomyniad added. "It's just... more than before. I... I remember who I once was. I remember my love for you. However, sadly, all of that is like a hazy dream at best. What I remember clearly is when you sent me and the... others away with a teleportation spell. I also remember a bit from my... career as a Hero."

"Nevermind that."

Neji waved it off and used his mana to forcefully cut the call.

Then, suddenly, the air cracked as he blinked.

"Has it been 12 hours already?"

The air split apart, showing darkness in the background, and a tall figure, in the form of Famine Fatale, walked in. She floated in the air as Neji kissed Ozy and got up from her embrace.

"It has been, yes."

Famine replied as she looked down at him, smiling.

"The Mistress awaits your visit. Do you need more time?"

Neji looked at everyone present in the area. Everyone looked back at him, they gave him trusted nods, telling him it was fine, that they would move as he had planned.

Neji locked eyes with Rumi, Ryukyu, and lastly Kurai. He gave his Familiar a sweet smile.

"Kurai, I have one mission for you. I will call you into the new world later, but now I want you to clear the Tower Dungeon. It's still intact since it's in the skies of Jerusalem. Clear it as soon as possible, I'll be waiting for you."

Kurai purred in displeasure, not a fan of being left behind, but she didn't reject his order.

Then Neji turned back to Famine. While staring at her, he decided to check out his stats. One last time, before leaving for his new destination.

A total of 2100 levels, that's how much he gained in this world. Given the short amount of time spent, this was definitely... worth it. Ignoring the losses he had received, this was a pretty good harvest. He was a lot stronger than he ever was, along with an armory of cheat items that made him just that much stronger.

"I am ready."

Neji said and flew up, standing face to face with Famine Fatale. The woman looked down on him with a smile and nodded. She grabbed him by the forearm, and turned around, floating into the crack.

"Don't let loose. It's dangerous there. That's why I always use the Dimensional Elevator instead."

"I'll hold on tight."

"You better."

Then, dragged by the Agent of Death itself, Neji slipped out of Fate World, stepping into the middle ground before he would find himself... somewhere new.

Like that,

The tale of Neji's Kingship came to a conclusion.

E/N – @ShortMotor: Damn it's been a hell of a ride.

Master4thWall Note: It has, for reals. Anyway, heya!

The Fate Arc has come to an end just now! It was a fancy run, filled with less Fate stuff and more TCG stuff.

Two more worlds before the Saga of finding girls end. The end of the story is approaching! The next world will be shorter than this, and we will be blitzing across the cannon stories in no time.

I hope all of you liked this, as I had a lot of fun writing it, and I wish that all of you would enjoy what awaits next.

PLEASE DROP SOME POWERSTONES, AS ITS THE END OF A WORLD AND ITS SUNDAY!

See you soon, Godspeed!
