Chapter 188: Unlocking One Hundred
Allesiah's eyes hurt like nothing she's ever experienced before. It was to an extent that was not only unbearable but also, to an extent of hell like pain. Without knowing that it was a material that went beyond the comprehension of her world was what she analyzed, Allesiah was suffering from the aftermath.
Blood dripped out of her eyes and this didn't come easy. She bit her own lip as she continuously casted recovery spells on it. Taking away the effects as much as she could. During this time, Sylvia's consciousness was slowly slipping away which was a good thing. If she was able to hold out any longer than she has, then Allesiah was sure to lose the fight.
"What on earth is that?" Allesiah said to herself, breathing heavily as she felt every other pain on her body consume her.
The rush she got from fighting has died out. And her body was reminding her of all the bones that were shattered. All the muscles which were torn. All the tendons which got ripped. All the wounds that got opened. And even her eye which seemed to only increase in pain the more she tried to heal it.
"No. I will not go down like this." She said to herself, focusing as much as she can on recovery. An attempt which lasted for a whole hour. With her success finally coming at the price of her consciousness almost slipping away on multiple occasions.
"I'm never gonna do that again." She told herself. Opening the [Voice Chat] option and contacting her teammate.
"Zeke I'm done." Allesiah said; with her eyes still closed because of the pain.
She sat in the middle of all the debris. There was no fear of her enemy getting away because, she was completely out cold. Aside from the fake Sylvia, Allesiah also casted multiple [Darkness Spheres] preventing any surprise attack from being done.
"Okay. I'm almost done on my part too so can you wait just a bit?" Zeke replied, with the sound of wind mixing with his voice. He was still riding [Horizon] which explained all the noise.
"Fine. But don't take too long okay?" Allesiah said in reply. Deciding to begin healing out her body which was painful all over. In fact, even breathing in itself was difficult because some parts of her ribcage got cracked and shattered.
"Roger that." Zeke said; turning off the [Voice Chat]. Right after this, a notification came which signaled the beginning of his attack.
[Information: You have completed the map of the Dwarven Continent.]
[5% of the Ancient Spell's completion rate has been given as a reward.]
[The Ancient spell is now 70% complete.]
His plans were progressing as quickly as possible. There was only one opponent left. Glade. The King was still sitting within the [Ruined City]. A place where the gods would be able to see him once again upon entering. Yet he was ready for this.
He wasn't just sitting idly on the cave all those years after all. He had plans set up. And as far as he could tell, things were still moving according to this. One of this was the accumulation of the [Ancient Spell].
This was only at [60%] when he entered the Dwarven Continent of Mithril. Yet, as he progressed, quests naturally came out. Allowing the completion rate to finally reach [70%]. It was still far from reaching a hundred yet, he also figured that it may go up if he squared off against Glade.
There was no rush though. At the moment all he aimed for was to reach [Level 100]. The latter parts of his plan would change according to this after all. So, he needed to see just how far this leveling up could take him. Plus, he also needed to take care of Quinn.
"I need to find that kid before something bad actually happens." He said, thinking that he was somehow connected to the silhouetted figure which appeared to him.
Yet all of this needed to wait. He still needed to clean up the Dwarven Continent. And, with the map finally completed, he can cast the skill which would speed up the conquering once again.
"Okay, let's wrap things up on this continent." Zeke jumped off [Horizon]; arm outstretched in front of him. The flames were already starting to rise and so was the feeling of the undead army of his coming out for another bloody fight. Zeke released his mana, siphoning it in the blink of an eye as he casted:
"Conjure."
The fighting lasted for an hour. With the whole continent being his domain, Zeke could easily summon the [Conjures] anywhere he wishes. As if the [Conjures] were teleporting from one place after the other. Yet he was careful not to hurt the dwarves and, to only damage the enemies to an extent where the citizens could fight back.
The dwarves were a resilient race after all. They'd never allow themselves to be controlled that easily because aside from being autonomous, they did not like anyone meddling with their work. That same rules goes for their fellow dwarves of course. Hence, with the help of the [Conjures], they were finally able to begin taking up arms.
Aside from this, Zeke also took care of all the crystals controlling the teleportation. Closing the last portal which Glade could use to come back.
"And that takes care of that." Zeke said, finally teleporting to where Allesiah was. With the elf still meditating and close to full recovery.
"This continent wide [Conjure] of yours is kinda scary do you know that?" Allesiah said, noticing Zeke's mana coming close.
"Yeah well, you're not too shabby yourself." Zeke said in reply, seeing all the damage Allesiah has caused. There were corpses everywhere and everything was ruined to the point that, one would mistake a calamity to have befallen on the castle of the countess.
"Wait what happened to your eyes?" Zeke finally noticed as Allesiah still had them closed.
"It's something that I've discovered concerning the final transformation of my enemy. I'm guessing that it's also connected to whoever our enemy is because, there was a similarity to it and to the teleportation interference used 12 years ago."
"Well, from the looks of it. That was something that you weren't meant to see."
"Yeah, I can feel that quite well actually. Anyway, don't you have something to do? Allesiah said, with Zeke finally taking notice of the enemy who was out cold.
[Information: Killing the target will allow the gamer to reach level 100]
"Yup. This is definitely the original clone." Zeke said, bringing out a dagger infused with his mana. But then, Allesiah stood up and spoke her mind.
"Wait. Don't we need to ask where my sister is at least? What if she has information regarding that?" The elf said. At this point Zeke understood that he should've given her the facts even before they went there.
"Allesiah. How do you think my clone was made?" He began, calling back his weapons for the moment as he spoke with the elf.
"I don't know. Like I said, I have no memories of those events."
"I was dead Allesiah. It was my corpse that was used to assemble that thing. It talked, walked, and had the exact same features as me. It also had the same skill set. But for Glade to assemble it, he required my corpse." Zeke was trying to lead Allesiah to her point but it seemed that the elf was only half listening and refusing to understand.
"At first I thought it was only a coincidence. But then I saw the fake version of your sister. One who holds the mission requirements in order for me to level up. This means that, the body she uses is the real thing. That is Sylvia's actual body." Allesiah was already trembling at this point. Zeke didn't stop however. He knew that he needed to go on and that he did.
"So again, how sure are you that we can get information about your sister? No sorry that's not the right question here." Zeke then paused for a moment before giving a straightforward question.
"With all that I've just said; how sure are you that your sister is still alive?"
"Zeke. Can't we at least try?" Allesiah said, still refusing to give up. Thus, Zeke did what he could to present even more evidence to the elf.
"Allesiah. If Sylvia was brainwashed just like you and Sylph, then her original should've been the one placed on the spot of the Countess. Yet here we are dealing with whoever this person is." Zeke motioned for Allesiah to look at the unconscious enemy. One which the elf followed. He then tapped her shoulder before speaking once again.
"I know you just woke up but, it's better to swallow this hard pill than intoxicate yourself with a lie. This is not a nightmare, but it's definitely not a dream either. This is reality. One which is always mixed with both the good and the bad." Zeke said, tapping on Allesiah's shoulder who finally allowed him to pass.
He knew that it was harsh. Yet this was the truth. Even for someone like Allesiah who felt like only a day has passed, the fact still remains that 12 years have already gone by. This weren't good nor pleasing. Glade was the one leading the whole of Mythos during this time after all.
"The sooner Allesiah realizes this, the better." Zeke said, bringing out his weapons once again.
The gamer's attack came swiftly. There was no reaction from the enemy who's life finally passed away as the notifications came up.
