Free Web NovelChapter 171: King’s Final Roar
"Bum,"
Without delaying any further, Dennis flew, streaking toward Ray who was inside the sphere of black light that released dark radiation to close the open spots. When he stopped in front of the light sphere, Dennis could see that Ray inside the sphere had his eyes closed and appeared to be concentrating.
[Master.]
"I know," Dennis replied.
Dennis took a long and deep breath, his entire body was enveloped by a sphere of light that appeared to shine like the sun with licking tongues of flame surrounding the light sphere.
"Graaaaaaah,"
Dennis used his King Final Roar skill, which took the form of sound waves but shone brightly as they split the world; instantly all the darkness vanished and disappeared without a trace, the blue sky was visible again and sunlight illuminated the world that had not seen light for a long time.
Daisy, who was on the mainland, stood atop the ruins of a tall building and saw the city lying in ruins around her in the brightness; particles of light like light-snow fell from above, replacing the black snow that looked like dust. freёwebnovel.com
"Kieeeeeeeek,"
Because they were exposed to the light, the crawlers who were previously hidden in the darkness appeared, and their numbers were so vast that the surface of the world looked blackened and moved in a disgusting way, all dying with shattered bodies because they were hit by Dennis’s scream.
"Wow," Daisy muttered while looking around her.
Then Daisy’s eyes turned toward a swarm of giant crawlers that looked like standing cockroaches in the distance; she immediately leapt to a higher ruined building in front of her and ran along the structure to climb upward. She squinted her eyes, looking toward the giants in the distance; many giants were collapsing due to the effects of Dennis’s scream, but some were still walking. Then she turned to look at Emerald City and Ruby City, which were still not too far away from them, and after seeing their direction, those giant monsters were heading there through the ocean.
"Honey, I’m going to attack the giant monsters approaching us and the city; you handle Ray," Daisy said using telepathy.
"Alright, be careful; as soon as I’m finished, I’ll join you," Dennis said using telepathy.
Daisy immediately streaked away, jumping from ruin to ruin with great speed. Meanwhile, the black light sphere enveloping Ray vanished and Ray opened his eyes; he stared at Dennis, who was now glowing in front of him. His eyes went wide and his mouth hung open, an expression visible on his face: fear.
"Damn you... die!" Ray screamed in a horrific voice.
He immediately attacked Dennis, his four horse legs seemingly running through the air. His massive hand punched toward Dennis’s face, but, "thud," Dennis caught the fist casually. Then Dennis pulled Ray’s wrist and "smack," with his back leg, he slammed his knee into Ray’s face, until Ray was thrown far backward,
"Aaaaah,"
Ray screamed in pain while holding his shattered, bloody face and his strangely shaped nose. But before he could process what happened, Dennis had already appeared in front of him and "blam," he struck Ray’s head with both fists until Ray shot down into the sea, creating a massive spray of seawater that reached Dennis hovering in the air. "Bresss," Ray shot out of the sea and immediately attacked Dennis with a headbutt from his horn; Dennis was thrown upward though he was not injured because of his shield. Ray continued to chase him,
"Die, Decart!" Ray screamed.
"Hah... no matter what, your rank is number two, Rmax!" Dennis shouted back.
Dennis stopped and immediately shot downward to meet Ray, "blaaaaam," their fists collided in mid-air, creating a massive shockwave that pulled the sea into a low tide along with the sound of an explosion that shook the world.
Ray’s hand shattered so that Dennis’s fist buried itself in his chest, Dennis continued to push Ray until finally, "blaaam," he hit the ground hard, creating a crater. Dennis released his fist and stood before him; Ray’s body changed back to its original form, then his body glowed and transformed into the body of a beautiful girl about 20 years old, with black hair and a face identical to Daisy’s, only more mature. Dennis walked to her side and crouched next to her,
"It’s over, Railey," Dennis said, stroking Railey’s forehead.
"Hehe... yeah... you really are great, I guess I can’t beat you, both in the game and the real world," Railey replied, turning to look at Dennis while smiling, even though her nose was shattered and bloody and her mouth was smeared with blood.
The two were silent; Railey raised her weak hand and Dennis immediately caught it.
"You know... this world was originally exactly like Earth... I’m the one who designed the crawlers and created this darkness... because I hate the world... I hate my fate... when I managed to find you... my first love... it turned out my sister also loved you... I couldn’t do anything," Railey said with tears streaming down.
Dennis couldn’t say anything, he just smiled and sat next to Railey, then he held her hand close,
"I remember who you are... we were both captured... in prison... remember?" Dennis asked.
Railey’s face instantly looked shocked, her eyes moving as she studied Dennis’s face, then she smiled and her tears fell heavily.
"You remember, apparently... big brother Dennis," Railey said.
"Yes... you called me big brother back then because my body was bigger than yours, even though I was the same age as your sister," Dennis replied, smiling.
"Actually... I was looking for you... I wanted to be with you... and I’m happy because you, who have been accompanying me in the world of Eclipse Saga all this time, turned out to be the same person I was looking for... it’s a shame we can’t be together," Railey said.
"Who says, you’re going to be fine, we can go back to the city and to the hospital..."
Before Dennis could finish speaking, Railey’s hand came up and she placed her finger on Dennis’s mouth, then she shook her head.
"I’m different from you all... I’m here as my character in the game and I am not myself, besides... because I killed myself through your biological father, I will disappear shortly... forgive me for ruining everything and being evil to you and Daisy," Railey said.
"W... what? But why? Can’t you live as Ray?" Dennis asked.
"I can’t... your roar earlier... destroyed the system inside me and without that system, I return to being Railey, two Raileys cannot exist in this world, even though the original one has already died because that kind of thing defying the laws of the world... you understand, right... Dennis," Railey answered weakly.
Dennis saw Railey’s body starting to vanish and become transparent like a hologram. He immediately gripped Railey’s hand tightly and his face looked terrified,
"Don’t make that face, it really is time for me to go... I don’t want to be with you, Daisy, and Mom anymore... and if I am reborn, I hope I live in a world full of love and many friends hehe... please take care of this world, Dennis... and... convey my apologies to Daisy... I wasn’t a good sister to her," Railey said.
After saying her words, Railey closed her eyes and her body faded further until finally she completely vanished, as did her hand that Dennis was holding. Then Dennis stood up and looked down,
"Why is it like this... shouldn’t she have been able to live?" Dennis asked sadly.
[She is different from you, Master; although you both died in the real world, the issue is her choice. When Railey died, she was full of resentment and hatred, which is why she became her character persona in the game that appeared brutal and cruel. Her original self exists in this world... as I explained at the beginning, this world is a reflection of the original world or a parallel world, that is why Railey applied the Eclipse Saga game system to this world by bringing the darkness that mutated living beings into crawlers.]
Dennis stood in silence and reflected, his heart aching slightly even though he knew exactly that all of this was indeed what Railey herself wanted. While Dennis was stunned, "vwoooong," an interface opened showing Daisy fighting several giant monsters.
[You should help your wife now, Master.]
"Right... I’m going," Dennis said.
Dennis immediately shot up, flying from within the crater and in an instant "blam," he smashed a giant crawler until it was destroyed and landed, then stood next to Daisy, who was startled to see Dennis appear so suddenly.
"Honey.... where is Ray?" Daisy asked.
Dennis explained everything briefly to Daisy. Naturally, Daisy, who already remembered all of her past life, reacted calmly, though a single tear flowed down her cheek.
"Okay, the mourning ends after this... there are still three more," Daisy said.
"Yeah... let’s finish this quickly," Dennis replied.
After that, they immediately prepared themselves to face the three remaining giant monsters that were charging forward to attack them.
