Her eyes locked with mine and for a split second, I saw a flash of eh her face as she quickly turned away

Clearings to do to keepto address the issue at hand until I finally caved

Regis, I sent Are you still not talking toin the air as I waited for a response When none cah and continued to convey

As if I was reading out ofmore than an entire lifetime, my ability to properly express and coood day In battle, with just me and my sword, that didn’t hts in a tactfulparty No, my swords eapons—tools that I could utilize and take full advantage of in order to win a battle

However, Regis was a weapon with sentience and a bigger personality than myself He was less a weapon and more a companion that I truly relied on for some semblance of human interaction I tried to shove him into that cookie-cutter role that I had made for weapons, but that quickly failed as he became more and is’s ti alone had made it hard for me not to compare him to Sylvie, who had sacrificed herself so I could still be standing here now A large part of why I wanted to get stronger was in the hopes of bringing back Sylvie froless quibble with Regis I had, I grew scared of even the possibility that Sylvie may feel replaced once she caomes back

But you knohat I’h I have the body of an asura and the ability to manipulate aether in a way that not even the Indrath Clan can, I’ close to you

I paused, realizing that I had subconsciously placedSylvie’s stone

I’ve lost a lot, Regis Adam, my father, Sylvie, and even Dawn’s Ballad My mother, sister, Tessia, Virion—, they’re all back in Dicathen and I have no clue how to return, or even how they’re doing back Worst case, the Alacryans have found the bunker and they’ve all been captured…or killed Not to be overdramatic but it feels like the closer I become to someone, the harder it is for inning to remember more and more why I became the person who I was back in my previous life… and it’s why I needed to just think of you as a weapon, Regis Because it’s easier for me that way, in case I lose you too

I waited and hoped for a response that never ca color of our surroundings As if the very sky had beenthe once blue expanse The very air seemed thinner as well and the tension that blanketed over us felt al to be different

“The wave is here,” Taegen said, standing up

“We’re not going to stop so hold on!” Daria declared, casting a stronger gust of wind at the h the dirt field as cracks began branching and splitting apart ahead Fortunately, the obsidian structure standing even taller than castle watchtowers, stood only a fewred sphere perched at its peak

These last few miles, however, would undoubtedly be the hardest Carallians were already eround ahead

“shi+elds, prepare to clear a path for us We need to reach the tower before the guardian appears!” Arian barked

Orid stopped focusing on the path ahead and instead, conjured slabs of earth that began rotating around us

The ride i on to the railing while Keir summoned hisob of electricity as well

“Lettoward Daria “You’ll have to maintain the updraft steady but you’re the only caster left Help the shi+elds”

After a beat of hesitation, Daria nodded, releasing the bindings of ice anchoring her to the sled

Daria, sweating and pale, gave lance and I nodded at her A deal was a deal

Trider i bracers of wind He pushed out with his fists aimed at the mast as soon as Daria bound his feet to the sled

Daria, free froation, called forth bursts of wind powerful enough to knock the enlarged carallians out of the way The ones that she missed were either pushed aside by one of the panels of co around us

So, but en looked, his face in a fierce scowl and his gaze darting left and right—as if searching for so—I kneasn’t the only one

The earth suddenly treo of his spell

“W-What’s going on?” he shouted, trying to scramble back to his feet

The earth shook onceroar that reverberated froround beneath

My hair stood on end and a familiar voice affirmed the very action I was about to take

‘Get out of here, Arthur!’ Regis shouted, a wave of fear spreading froround rose and I felt a rush of vertigo as the entire sled rose closer and closer toward the red sky

Keir, who had been trying to get back to his feet, was thrown froe of the sled and knocked unconscious by one of the panels of earth circling around us

His body quickly receded fro us higher and higher

Another beastial roar resounded, unh to e and tall enough to be able to eclipse the majority of the sky

Then, it looked at us The tower that had cast aserpentine neck

Resting on the top of the neck that stretched over ten stories high was the leathery head of a bat with a disproportionately large e, and boring down directly at us
