Chapter 93

Renneshia was the only one who saw what happened clearly from Shia perspective. Before Shia pushed Pendragon's body, she saw that someone would attack him from behind. Someone that she trusts and has known for a long time, the person from the temple and the person who should be more devout to the Goddess, the temple warrior captain, Sir Mordake.

That is also why she never thought that he would betray them. It has happened so quickly and he seemed to become the God of Chaos's believers after she saw Shia seal Albina in Pendragon's sword.

Mordake was the person who cared about Shia the most in the temple and he always followed her when she was in the temple to protect her. Of course is not because she was in danger because everyone in the temple always respects and cares about her. But he was the person who always said that he must protect her because it was his duty.

But his care and protection started to make Shia feel uncomfortable because he started to get worse. Renneshia saw it as a crazy obsession that reminded her of the Yandere character from some story in her past life. From Shia's memories, Renneshia is able to see how Mordake fell in love with Shia from the first time they met and how he used Shia's protection as his excuse to follow Shia and prevent her from the others.

In Renneshia's view, what Mordake did to Shia was to isolate her from the other and Renneshia was quite surprised because he had thought about something like that from the time they met each other when they were five years old. Shia never thought about his obsessive action as something that he did because he loved her but because he was treating her like a sibling.

And because of Mordake's crazy obsession, he seems to want Shia to only look at him. That's why Mordake feels betrayed by Shia when she gets closer to Pendragon and Kadaklan. At that moment, the God of Chaos offered him to make Shia to be with him and make others disappear. Blind by his obsession and jealousy, especially when Shia puts Albina's soul into Pendragon's sword. As if he had lost his mind, he instantly agreed to what the God of Chaos told him and became his apostle.

Mordake never thought that when he wanted to erase the person who stole Shia's attraction and the person who acted rude to her would cause him to stab her in the heart. Mordake is surprised by Shia's action but he also feels angry because she even uses her own life to protect that rude person, Pendragon. His face was full of his rage as he glared at Shia who looked at him with an expression full of pity and sadness.

"Eternal Sealed." Shia said with a clear and beautiful voice but it caused the people who heard her to feel extreme sadness.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't accept your feelings because it was my fate to die today." Shia said in a small voice that only Mordake and Pendragon were able to hear it.

Blinding bright light shone and engulfed the whole area and killed all of the undead. Some people who got controlled by the God of Chaos were also able to get free from the spells that turned them to be the God of Chaos's puppets. Only the believers of the God of Chaos were left and they were losing their power when they were exposed to the light. And Mordake was bound by the light chains that appeared from the ground and made him unable to move.

"You damn Goddess daughter! How dare you mock my feelings even when you are going to die! Kehehehe! I will use your body and turn it into undead. This seal will gone when you die, so you just have to drop die quickly and let me become your master!" Mordake laughed like a lunatic while shouting at Shia angrily as he pulled his sword from Shia's chest.

"SHIA!!!" Pendragon shouts and catches Shia's falling body with care.

Blood keeps pouring from the hole in Shia's chest. Pendragon took the potion from the small pouch on his waist but Shia stopped him with her cold and powerless hand. Kadaklan who chases and runs in her direction and uses some healing spells at her wound but it does not heal her.

"Why? Why did the healing spells did not work?" Kadaklan said while feeling confused as the wound only got worse after he used the healing spells.

"Don't waste your time. As I said before, my fate has been decided and nothing can change it. But...chough...chough..." Shia wanted to tell them what she was thinking but halfway she coughed blood and was unable to continue with her words.

"Please stop talking and don't force yourself! I-I will find a way to save you. The freezing wind that freezes everything. Duratus." Pendragon angrily said and froze her wound.

Finally, the blood stopped but it did not help Shia's condition as her life kept fading. Pendragon and Kadaklan feel hopeless as they are unable to help Shia and tears start to drop from their eyes.

"Fufufu..., I...finally able to understand... the reason. Crying face really...make you look uglier...chough." Shia said as she weakly smiled at them.

"Stop talking. You make me unable to think of a way to help you." Pendragon stops her and uses another freezing spell.

"Don't stop me...It was my last time...I'm sorry to hide it from you... Please forget about me and have a happy family with the person that you love...As long as you have a descendant, we might be able to meet again...even when we won't be able to remember each other or if we might hate each other. M-My fate as 'Shia' ends here. I hope you are able to live happily." Shia difficultly said everything that she wanted to tell them and gently touched Pendragon's face that wet by his tears and smile.

Shia closed her eyes and her life faded away. Her hand drops and Pendragon and Kadaklan seem to say something with a panicked face but Shia can't hear them and it is the same for Renneshia who shares the view and memories with Shia.

"So this is how your life ends. Your last action and words would only torture them. What a wicked woman you are." Renneshia said that she could empathize with Pendragon and Kadaklan's feelings because of her experiences in her past life.

"But I thought that you always thinking of being a bad person rather than a good person. When I peek at your memories, maybe I got influenced by your thoughts and did it. Besides, don't you think that I can leave an unforgettable memory in their soul? This way, if their souls are able to be reincarnate then they must be looking for you and help you." Shia said as she smiled with a dazzling smile that looked like a child who successfully did the pranks.

"I never thought that you have this kind of personality. But I need to thank you for the help that you are giving to me. I will protect everything that you hold dear and show you that I will live happily." Renneshia said with a grateful tone and bowed to Shia who started to fade.

"Thank you for showing me the future that I want to see and because you will remember me. Remember, I'll always be with you. Please help the Goddess and stop the God of Chaos." Shia said and disappeared like a scattered light.

The surroundings become darker as the lights disappear. Renneshia looks around her surroundings as if looking for Shia. But the scenery changed and someone appeared in front of her. Expressionless face with black hair and eyes looking at her and pointing to her back. When she looked back at the direction that she pointed, she saw the familiar ghostly skeleton hand and there were chains bound to it.

She was surprised by the appearance that seemed to be getting clearer than before and looked back to the person who seemed to be the real 'Renneshia' from the game. She was able to see her and seemed to say something but she couldn't hear her and everything seemed to get blurred. And she woke up from her sleep.

'What is the meaning of the last part of my dream? That hand was the hand that pushed me and caused my death in my previous life...But why that chain are there? How could that happen??' Renneshia feels confused by the information that she saw in her dream.

Renneshia tried to continue her sleep but she couldn't do it because her heart kept beating hard and prevented her from falling asleep. She took a glass of water and drank it to calm herself down. But in the end, she decided to dress herself as Ludger and train herself to stop her from thinking about the last part of her dream because she could not find any answer to it.

Ludger went to the empty plot behind the restaurant and looked up to the night sky. A beautiful full moon with its gentle light shone in Ludger's direction. Ludger took out his training sword and tried to imitate the beautiful movement that Renneshia had just seen in her dream. Ludger started to swing the sword. At first, it was an awkward movement but when Ludger continued, his movement gradually got better and better until it was able to captive the viewers as it was like a beautiful sword dance that became more beautiful with the moonlight.
