Part 2, Chapter 65 (258)
The world was shrouded in darkness.
Who was I again?
Drifting in a daze, I suddenly wiggled my fingers, then my toes.
Next, I tried drawing in a breath, but the air didn’t seem to fill my lungs.
‘Still, I’m alive.’
There seemed to be a reason I had to survive, but I couldn’t quite grasp it.
My mind was completely blank, empty of all thought. I wanted to simply drift away like a jellyfish.
‘Wait. A jellyfish?’
Something was trying to surface in my memory.
As I furrowed my brow, a light suddenly bloomed before me, and my lips parted slightly.
It was an extraordinarily tiny jellyfish.
“The twenty-second jellyfish…”
The moment I whispered those words, the jellyfish flew eagerly and stuck itself to my cheek.
A chill spread through my entire body, followed by a surge of strength.
‘Ah, that’s right. I was in the middle of battle.’
Slowly, like a tortoise crawling across the ground, my memories returned.
Light had erupted, and I’d been pushed through into the Beyond.
That is, beyond the Tower that Sister had split open with her scythe.
‘It was like the cosmos…’
Concentrated magical power within the deep blue currents emitted a subtle luminescence.
I’d only glimpsed it briefly, but this place seemed to be exactly that.
I must have been torn away during the explosion.
“Hesasperti?”
As I called out softly, warmth bloomed within my chest.
Searching through my belongings, I found the four-leaf clover-shaped jeweled badge I’d received before.
It had adorned the Luck Spirit King’s hair.
[Ugh, it’s too hard to maintain my true form here. The magical power is overwhelming.]
The grumbling four-leaf clover suddenly transformed into a small plush doll.
The doll, fashioned to resemble Hesasperti, had that familiar four-leaf clover adorning its hair.
“I’m relieved I’m not alone.”
[Yes, yes. I can stay with you. You’ve been carrying something imbued with my will and power.]
Mother must be terribly worried.
Now fully conscious, I twisted my body into a swimming posture.
This was more comfortable than drifting passively on my back.
I couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
“Hesasperti, can you sense Rasifer’s presence?”
[Yes, yes! Probably over there! There’s a massive concentration of magical power.]
He’s alive.
Of course, I’d never once believed he was dead.
“Do you happen to know what happened after I flew here?”
[No, I don’t know that. The moment I entered this space, my connection to the Spirit Realm was severed.]
Come to think of it, even when I was swallowed by the Subspace, I couldn’t see the shimmering text of the Spirit Kings.
Since I already knew that connections were cut off when buried under massive mana, I nodded in understanding.
‘Well then, let me try standing up.’
Flailing around looked ridiculous and felt off somehow.
After deliberating, I slowly moved my joints and tried to pull myself upright.
‘Rasifer was standing just fine in the void though.’
Why was I swaying like this?
After stumbling a few times before finally finding my balance, I gathered my courage and took a step forward.
Walking on the void instead of solid ground felt incredibly strange, but it wasn’t impossible.
“Is it possible that Kaiser Laximan was also bounced out here…?”
As I asked out of concern, the stuffed doll’s legs fluttered.
[Hmm… actually, I can sense it in two places. Right and left. The door goes straight ahead in the middle!]
“Which direction would you recommend, Hesasperti?”
[If it were me… I’d go right!]
Then I should go right.
It’s a recommendation from the Luck Spirit King herself, after all.
‘This time, I’ll go find him, Pel.’
I’d take Rasifer and search for the door.
After leaving, I’d make contracts with the remaining Spirit Kings.
It wouldn’t be easy, but nothing I’d done so far had been simple.
It was always difficult, and because it was difficult, I solved it together with others.
[There! Someone’s there!]
Just then, the stuffed doll tapped my shoulder repeatedly.
When I lifted my head, sure enough, I saw Rasifer.
“Pel!!”
I wanted to run, but my body wouldn’t cooperate.
Moving frantically, I stretched my arms out wide. I thought this way I might reach Rasifer just a bit faster.
“Pel! It’s me!”
As I pulled him into my embrace urgently, I felt a chill.
His hands were so cold that I gripped them tightly and rubbed them repeatedly.
“Wake up, Pel. I’m here.”
But he still wouldn’t wake.
Biting my lip, I calmly examined Rasifer’s condition, which seemed almost lifeless.
I thought desperately about what I could do to help him.
“Hesasperti, light particles are flowing from around Rasifer. As if… this space is consuming them.”
[Hmm… his mana is scattering. This place is probably that Kaiser Laximan’s Subspace. He’s connected it to the Tower.]
So he abandoned his old Subspace and created a new one instead.
Thinking how repulsive that was, I tried desperately to grasp Rasifer’s mana, which scattered like stardust.
“No, don’t scatter. Hold together.”
If all of this disappears, he’ll be in danger.
The thought of losing Rasifer was something I had never even imagined, and I found myself utterly bewildered.
“His mana is dispersing too quickly!”
[Kaiser Laximan is draining Rasifer’s mana. How persistent. He’s trying to reclaim what he lost from his own son.]
“How… is there truly no way I can help?”
[A way, you say…]
The stuffed doll’s head tilted slightly.
The Luck Spirit King seemed to know some method to overcome this situation.
[Long ago, the Fate Spirit King gave you a choice. It’s the same now. You can choose one of two paths.]
I can choose?
But… but there’s only one thing I desire.
[The speed at which mana is being stolen is accelerating. It seems he’s regained consciousness.]
“…!”
[If another ten minutes pass like this, Rasifer will be in mortal danger. Once all his mana scatters, there will be no saving him.]
My hands trembled.
My heart raced, and cold sweat soaked through my skin.
Never to see his smile again?
Was such a thing even possible…?
Whenever I turn around, Rasifer should always be there.
[Before you make that choice, first remember what methods remain available to you. But if you use that method, I too will have no choice but to leave your side.]
What I can do now.
What only I can do.
After lowering my head for a moment, I slowly traced back through my thoughts and realized it.
“I still have one seal remaining.”
[Indeed.]
“Could you… open the Eden Shop for me?”
[Of course. You’ll be purchasing something?]
“Yes.”
Though I hadn’t stated what it was, the Luck Spirit King and I were speaking of the same thing.
Soon the Eden Shop opened before me.
I flipped through the items that appeared, and finally found what I sought.
【Wish Voucher】
▶ Grants one wish within the bounds of Causality.
▶ Price: Free.
▶ Warning 1: Upon use of the Wish Voucher, all seals in your possession vanish simultaneously.
▶ Warning 2: The wish “increase the number of wishes” is not permitted.
▶ Warning 3: Upon use of the Wish Voucher, the seal system ceases to exist. (Cannot be transferred to others.)
“Though it says ‘free,’ this Wish Voucher can only be purchased if you possess at least one seal. Correct?”
[Correct.]
“Then I’ll use the last one here.”
For someone who has always given to me without asking for anything in return.
Upiros wasn’t present, but since the wish token wasn’t a materialized object, it didn’t matter.
All I needed was a Spirit King by my side who could grant my wish.
“Please make this Tower, Kaiser Laximan’s Subspace, stop absorbing Rasifer’s magical power.”
Please don’t let him be taken away from me.
[You won’t need to wish for Kaiser Laximan’s disappearance?]
“No, that’s fine.”
There were two choices.
Either eliminate Kaiser Laximan here for certain and lose Rasifer, or save Rasifer and fail to kill Kaiser Laximan.
My choice has always been to save those precious to me.
