Re: Player-Chapter 148: [Singularity of Fates!]

[Raven's POV:]

.

.

"Leena?" Spoke that guy as he looked at the red-haired girl whom I carried with me.

In the illusion that carried me here, I was still standing, doing nothing but observing the scenario. So while it didn't move, I tried to get a better look at the surroundings.

"Yemir."

Leena answered as she got out of my lap and looked at that guy, Yemir.

There was hate in Leena's eyes, fury perhaps. But Yemir's eyes were solemn. They looked at Leena as if meeting a loved one after a long time.

"Raven!"

A familiar voice came from a distance behind Yemir. And focusing behind him, I saw an old face, which I hadn't seen for quite some time.

"Master Rosalyn-" I shouted with tearful eyes, excitement coursing through, but stopped as I saw my illusion still standing there.

And then I recalled my current predicament. I am no longer a witch but a half witch now…

My gaze changed from happiness to regret filled, wondering what I should do now?

Should I run away now? Should I make an escape? She will hate me, right? Why does it have to be like this? Just why….

And my heart broke a little more as I saw nothing but smiles on her face. Not just her, but Tia and Mia were also with her, beaming at me, with their faces glowing brighter than ever.

"I should-" And as I was reaching a conclusion…

-Thud!

With a slight noise, two beings appeared at the center, in between all of us. And I stopped moving just like everyone else.

"Just who are you…?" The skeleton guy spoke out in an eerie voice as he observed the dark mage.

The dark mage was the other person who appeared with the skeletal mage. His eyes looked at those around me with a rather calm smile before he answered with a heavy voice,

"I am Batman!… haha… just kidding. The name is Morpheus. A mercenary dark mage."

Morpheus? Wasn't he the mage who appeared in the black market a few months back? He shook the entire market with his prowess. So much so that even the deadliest of assassins cowered in fear upon hearing his name?

'So this was him, huh?' I thought as I knew he was strong… but I didn't think he was this strong. The world is surely a big place…

"And what do you want from me?" The skeletal man asked as he looked at Morpheus with a cautious expression.

'I want to run…'

I wanted to scream and run away from here. Each time that skeletal mage spoke, my entire body shivered uncontrollably. Each time I looked at him, I felt like I was looking at death itself.

The only boon was the guy against which even this being was cautious.

"From you? Don't make me laugh. We are here because we need to meet your boss. Like Wesker said, we have a message for him. Once relayed, we will leave from here," he spoke as he smirked at the skeletal mage.

The situation grew tense with each passing moment, while I… or perhaps everyone, here just held our breaths, waiting for their conversation to reach a conclusion and both of them to vanish from here.

The skeletal mage narrowed his eyes at Morpheus before speaking."I am afraid that I cannot allow that."

-Clap!

And clapping once, he then interlocked his finger before his eyes turned red and a strange aura radiated from his body.

"[World Magic: Broken World]!!"

He shouted as the energy that was radiating from his body, creeped all over the area covering as far as I could sense it. And something told me… it wasn't good news for us.

-Crack! Crack! Crack!

And immediately cracks began appearing in the air and the surrounding. Not just in the air, but also in the ground and the buildings.

The cracks were transparent and were seemingly harmless. I could see something beyond them, but it was barely noticeable to make out anything.

"It was nice knowing you, Morpheus. But that ends now," the skeletal guy continued speaking with a relaxed expression. From the smile he had, it seemed as if he had already won.

As for Morpheus, he then smiled before…. Huh?

While I usually saw him completely covered in darkness, now… all that darkness vanished, showing the figure of a man wearing a kimono.

'He is hot,' I thought as I looked at him and all that purple mana behind him.

Black hair over that white face. Holding a long purple sword, whose blade reflected his eyes, he stood there menacingly. His eyes didn't seem to joke any more as he concentrated on the skeleton guy.

"Dark Arts: Chained Sword's Second Chronicles," his extremely pleasant voice echoed throughout the area as chains of darkness spread as far as the eyes could see.

"You think that much would be enough to fight against me?" That skeletal guy was skeptical, but he didn't seem much afraid. More like he was questioning the skill of Morpheus.

All of us stood there still, unable to move, while the two monsters stood observing each other, making no moves. Nobody knew what would unfold… we didn't even know if we would get out of this one…

"Hmmm…" and then a humming voice came from a distance as a man walked past me.

His voice in this suffocating silence attracted everyone's attention.

"How long do you think it will take for brother to come?" Morpheus asked as he looked at that new guy there.

"Adam should be here any moment now… and Black Shadow should come a little later after that… " that guy spoke out nonchalantly, as if all this presence didn't bother him at all.

'Just who is he?'

"Wesker. Can I go at least 25%? This doesn't seem good with only 20% of my power," Morpheus asked, making us confused as we looked at him bewildered.

20% of his power? You are kidding me, right?

"No. We cannot do that… but you are right. We cannot win with what we have right now… and Adam seems like he won't be here for another 30s or so…" Wesker spoke with a pondering gaze before he sighed at the skeletal guy.

"All right. I will give an extra hand here," Wesker added. Making all of us look at him as we all stood there with bated breaths.

"What are you trying-" the skeletal guy was about to speak….

-Whoosh!

And a cold gust blew as all those arrays suddenly began rotating faster in the surrounding air.

Wesker, who was smiling amidst all this chaos, then spoke again,
