Chapter 8 : Past

In a world with countless destroyed buildings, monsters, beasts and human corpses scattering the whole floor, endless blood flowing within the battlefield.

A blonde haired young man can be seen fighting against a three eyed black scale being.

BOOOOM!..

....

"Useless, so this is the chosen one that he picked can do?"

The blonde haired young man proceeds to use his skill [ Sword of Light ], a white bright light flows through his sword, he proceeds to raise the bright sword with both of his hands.

"Cut the reality, Sword of Light!"

A bright line can be seen after the blonde haired young man slashes down his sword towards the being.

BOOOOOOM!

A voice rang out through the battlefield.

"Not bad.. However, it's not impressive either."

The being snaps his finger, as countless black arrows can be seen floating in the sky, it proceeds to targets the blonde haired young man.

Xiu..

Xiiu...

Xiuu....

The exhausted young man who was about to use his skill [ Aegis Shield ], suddenly got interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Leo, let me help!"

Aya, who was in a stance, holds her sword with her left hand.

"White Star Style 2nd Form : Shattering Star!"

After using the attack, countless slashes can be seen within the air in a split second. Soon, explosions can be heard through the battlefield.

BOOM!...

BOOOOM!..

BOOM!..

"Ho!? not bad, girl. however it seems like I would need to end this as I have different affairs to attend to." The being created a small black star appearing on its palms.

"Devouring End."

The black star begins to float mid air, as it proceeds to start expanding its size consuming everything around it.

"Let this be the end." The being then vanished in thin air.

Aya who was watching this whole scene, gradually fell in despair as she thought to herself 'I-i.. failed again, how is this fair.. how can someone beat that thing..' tears gradually fell in Aya's beautiful eyes.

"Aya, it's ok.."

Aya raised her head, "What do you mean ok?!, you're not in condition to fight!"

"Aya.. It's fine.. I can still fight. please carry Eleanor, Mary and Lena away." Leo spoke while retaining his smile.

"NO! I don't want to leave you again! even if hell splits u.."

Aya who was about to refute felt a hit on her back, as she gradually lost her consciousness and mumbled to Leo, "P-please.. don't leave me again.."

"I-i lov.. you.."

Soon Aya falls unconscious while tears continue to fall from her beautiful eyes, as Leo carries the unconscious Aya, Leo uses his bloodline ability as he picks up all the unconscious people around him. Leo proceeds to mumble towards the unconscious Aya.

"I love you too.. even when we are still in the academy. however I still want everyone including you to be alive. even with the cost of my life... I'm sorry."

Leo proceeds to move all the people with away from the battlefield, even including the unconscious Aya, as the black star continues to expand, consuming the whole battlefield.

He began thinking to himself as countless memories started to flash right before him, 'Although, this life was filled with ups and downs. I still had fun, and.. I'm sorry.'

"Limit break."

Couple of minutes later...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!...

An explosion that can be produced by an atomic bomb can be heard around the area. producing a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding area.

....

...

"Where.. am i?" Aya thought to herself. she began surveying the area, as she saw Eleanor, Lena and Mary still unconsciously laying down on the ground.

"Wait.. Where is Leo!?" When Aya remembered what had happened, she began crying again.

"I-i failed again.."

*Sniff*

*Sniff*

"E-even.. regressing back, didn't help me.. save him."

"What should I do.."

Suddenly a soft and gentle voice can be heard inside the mind of Aya.

"My beautiful apostle, you still have the last chance to save your love. but it would be the last as I would not have enough power to aid you afterwards."

The gentle voice inside Aya's mind continues, "Do you wish to continue? Aya mortez."

"I-i.." Countless memories flash inside Aya's mind, as she could see the moments they have with Leo, they fight together inside a dungeon, they eat together at lunch, they train together inside the academy.

"Is that your decision? Aya."

She then firmly resolved herself, "Yes, God of Time.. bring me back again but this time I will succeed."

"Very well, be prepared as there will be variables appearing in the next regression, and he will be the key to the future you want."

"What?!? What do y.."

....

...

...

Diingg!...

The bell rang through the entire school, bringing Aya back to reality. As she thought to herself 'In my last regression, I failed to save Leo again. but this time it will be different, this time I will succeed.'

Aya proceeds to look around, seeing that everyone started to sit in their respective seats she began thinking to herself, 'Everything is still the same, except..' she then glares at Lo, 'Him.'

Aya began wondering why a variable had appeared this early, 'Is he the key?'

Suddenly a slim yet delicate woman with short pink hair and a pair of purple eyes can be seen walking inside the room.

"Good Morning, Everyone."

"My name is Anne Morela, and I'll be your professor for the whole year."
