Chapter 90: "Catching Up with the Others"

Alistair's point of view

THAT HUGE fireball in the sky we saw from this temple ground disappeared all of a sudden without a trace. Hindi namin alam kung bakit 'yon nangyari pero ang sumunod na nangyari'y ang biglaan ding pagsabog ng gubat sa mas malakas na fire burst na umubos sa lahat ng monsters na pinadala namin.

I'm now currently standing watch, from inside the temple entrance along with all remaining 100 knights by my back and 40 RedLily faction members whose now inside the temple, guarding every corners of the hallway and chambers.

"Looks like your friends really did a great job from getting here this far, huh." and I am not alone in this post dahil katabi ko ngayon si Liyuen. Nakaupo sya sa gilid ko at tila hindi man lang inaalala ang panganib na dala ng paparating na mga presensya sa gawi namin.

Napaka-kalmado lamang nya na parang hindi man lang naghahanda. But little did I know na mas malakas pa ang depensa nito ngayon kesa sa 'kin at hindi ko lang ito nararamdaman.

"Hindi ka ba nalulungkot?" he suddenly asked kaya't nalingon ko agad sya.

"Why would I be?"

"It's obvious that your two friends out there lose from the intruders and are now fastly approaching our side of defense." he reasoned out bago ako tinitigan. "Kung hindi sila patay, malamang kunting sandali na lang at malalagutan na rin sila ng hininga. Hindi ka man lang ba nakakaramdam ng kahit kunting awa o pag-aalala?"

"They already knew the danger they'll eventually face sa sandaling kalabanin nila si Leonidas." sagot ko. "Pero alam kong mas handa pa sila kesa sa 'kin kaya't panatag ang loob kong tanggapin kung anuman kalalabasan ng laban nila sa kanya. Wala na akong pakialam do'n."

"Is that what you call friendship goals?" he replied. "How sad. Isn't friends valuable to you?"

"You're talking about stuffs like pity and friendships' values but we both knew how you hate those words, didn't you?" sagot ko na kanya rin namang ikinatawa.

Ibinalik sa saradong gate ang tingin na halos 20 meters ding malayo sa amin. "Hate is a strong word. Sabihin na lang nating, nakakabagot ang salitang 'yon para sa 'kin kaya't hindi ko lang ito nagugustuhan."

"Why did you became allied with Chrolov if you have so much hate with those word?"

"The bond between me and Chrolov or with Herkan is totally not friendships I tell you." sumabog bigla ang entrance gate kaya't naalarma ang lahat. Maingat na tumayo si Liyuen at muling nagsalita. "Our main goal is to bring paradise within our surroundings and we already knew we can't trust each other so we didn't bother building friendships around us. Instead. We decided to kill every hindrance from ruling this world and in the end, we will kill each other and whomever survives. Will be the true king to rule this world, all by himself."

Hindi katagalan, nakita ko na mula sa usok si Leonidas na naglalakad papalapit kasama ang alaga nitong wolf na may sakay na babaeng player, hindi rin nakaligtaan ng aking mata ang nag-iisang taong matagal ko ring hinintay na makaharap sa isang totoong laban.

Sa wakas.

Nandito ka na rin.

Hezuya.

Teiro's point of view

By our captain's punch, we let ourselves in from the broken entrance gate and saw hundreds of knights blocking our possible path to get inside the temple.
