Chapter 238: Do You Believe?
Korazion evaded the dagger slashes. The Second Sister panted heavily as she had reached the end of her stamina.
While her opponent, Korazion, looked still fairly good despite the intense battle.
With a jump backwards, Korazion made some distance to her, then extended the length of his spear and smacked it into her waist.
She felt as though a baseball bat had struck her.
The hit sent her flying through a nearby building's window.
When her flight stopped, she noticed a family of Originals hiding under a table. When they saw her, they started weeping uncontrollably and hugged their loved ones.
Korazion jumped through the broken window and swung his spear down, but she stopped it once again with her dual daggers.
"Stop it!" She shouted. "There're innocent beings here who have nothing to do with our fight!"
"So?" Korazion kicked her in the stomach and growled. "You'd think I would pull my punches because of them? I won't fall for your tricks."
"We can go back to the street to continue this fight!" The Second Sister shouted. "There's no trickery behind this!"
"As if!" Korazion extended the length of his spear and cut through all the walls while simultaneously sending her flying into the air.
She flew and crashed into a wall.
Korazion pointed his spear at her and extended the length of the spear. The spear stabbed through her waist and pinned her to the wall.
She tried to pull the spear out of her waist but to no avail.
Korazion lifted her up while she writhed in pain and slammed her straight to the ground. He then lifted her up again and smashed her to the wall. She let out a scream as the pain shot through her body.
The health dropped to dangerous levels.
She tossed her daggers to the ceiling. They stabbed into the ceiling right above Korazion's head.
Korazion raised his head to the ceiling.
"Gravity Daggers!"
The weight of her two daggers changed, and that caused the ceiling to fall apart because of their new heavy weights.
Korazion jumped out of the way and returned his spear to its former length.
The ceiling fell down and happened to fall right on top of the table, with the Originals hiding right under it. The ceiling's debris buried them under its weight.
"Haha, as I expected!" Korazion shouted. "You acted like you cared about their lives. You just wanted to use them to kill me!"
"Pull!"
Now freed from the spear, she summoned the daggers back to her hand and attacked Korazion like a wild beast. Her attacks were furious, fast, and precise.
A few cuts appeared here and there on his body.
The Second Sister kicked him in the chest, then into his jaw, and finally at the temple. Blood began to trickle down his face, and Korazion stumbled out of the house.
She tossed her daggers again. The two daggers stabbed the ground around Korazion. One to the left side of him and the other to the right side.
With quick hand signals, the daggers multiplied into a dozen more, surrounding Korazion on all sides.
Korazion's expression hardened.
"You're making me angry!" The Second Sister said angrily, and her hair started floating upwards as if the gravity around her changed. "Gravity Force!"
Korazion crashed on his knees, and the pavement under him shattered. It felt like a boulder suddenly landed on top of his head, as it felt like something very heavy was pushing him down.
The gravity inside the circle of the daggers increased tenfold!
He couldn't lift his spear, let alone move.
"Hahaha!" Korazion laughed, and the spear turned longer.
The tip of the spear happened to be pointing at the Second Sister's right leg. Thus, after it turned longer, the blade stabbed right through her leg, causing her to cry out in pain.
Korazion struggled greatly but managed to pull one of the daggers off the ground. It was one of the two main daggers, thus the gravity spell broke apart.
He was able to move once again.
Korazion pulled his spear back and smacked it across the Second Sister's face. She flew far away and crashed into a building about hundred meters away.
When he jumped after her and rummaged through the debris to find her, he couldn't find her
anywhere.
She had escaped.
"Hmph!" Korazion landed back on the street and checked his timepiece. "The reinforcements should be here soon..."
...
The Holy Room.
"Ah~" Lady Yu moaned with flushed cheeks. "Right there~"
"Ahem..." Adam awkwardly smiled as he kneaded his hands against her back on one of the
tense muscles. "Is that good?"
"Yeah~"Lady Yu smiled and looked at him with a blush on her cheeks. "You're good at massaging. Where did you learn it?"
"My caretaker made me his massaging slave." Adam said with a chuckle.
When he was young and Serah came from work, tired like a dog, he would massage her feet and back to help her relax.
It was the least he could do, as he had a roof over his head and got to eat warm food every day. He was also afraid of being abandoned if he didn't do anything to help them, so he did a lot
for the family.
Lady Yu felt light as a feather and smiled with satisfaction.
She was surprised that she was able to be touched by a man and didn't feel absolutely
repulsed.
Instead, it felt strangely good.
Adam leaned on the cloudy hill and just relaxed.
There was nothing much to do in this Holy Room, so he decided to enjoy the peace and quiet
for as long as possible.
After all, once he left this place, he would enter the war, and it would be chaos and noise
everywhere.
Lady Yu gracefully sat on her knees and looked at Adam with just a smile on her beautiful face. She was also enjoying the peace and quiet for a moment before it would all be gone.
The last few weeks had been very stressful.
They knew that the war was coming.
"What's up?" Adam felt her gaze and turned to look at him.
"It's nothing." She shook her head, but then she felt like she was flying as there were some
more questions she wanted to ask.
"You can ask anything," Adam said.
He knew her very well, and after seeing that slight crunch of her eyebrows, he knew she wasn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
hiding something.
"Mm..." Lady Yu bit her lip and asked. "You said you don't have much of a family left, but do you have anyone you care about except your uncle? A loved one, perhaps?"
"I do," Adam said.
"Y-you do?" Her eyes shook, and it sounded like she was about to choke on her own words.
"Her name's Alice." Adam said with a sigh. "She's from the Other World."
"You love her?"
"Yeah." Adam nodded. "Very much so."
"I see..." Lady Yu lowered her head and bit her lip, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
"This ceremony has another name. Do you know what it is?"
"Marriage Ceremony, is it not?" Adam looked at her.
Lady Yu's eyes widened in surprise. She was surprised that he knew the answer.
"Do you believe in soulmates?" she asked with a nervous tone.
"Before, no." Adam chuckled. "Now, yes."
"Because of Alice?" She asked.
"Yes, and because someone used to convince me about it." Adam looked at her with a smile,
and she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her chest.
'Why did he look at me when he said that?'
She wondered with her heart racing.
