146. The Mist
“Sister Reina, may your martial fortune prosper.”
White Miry’s words brought Reina’s consciousness back to Calysia’s side.
Just now, there had been a battle here… a battle between the strongest creatures.
The battle between Dragon Slayer and the silver dragon.
Calysia walked over to White Miry and gave her a [Teleportation Scroll] she had drawn in advance. It seemed to be a way back to the surface. To ensure safety, White Miry decided to wait here for Liya to wake up.
Just then, Reina discovered… this place seemed to have “recovered.”
The uprooted trees had returned to their original positions, and the ground that had been plowed over by the shockwave had returned to its original undulating state, with small bridges and flowing water.
The flowers beside Reina bloomed again, and then, a butterfly flew to Reina’s head. Dozens of butterflies, as if receiving a call, also began to dance around Reina.
Reina instantly understood.
“Time authority, the Goddess of Light can even control time, then…”
She suddenly thought of something bad, but it was just a fleeting thought in her mind, leaving no trace.
She shook her head, took Little Cal’s hand, and said, “Master, let’s go down and see. We’d better be a step ahead of them.”
Unconsciously, she had already become someone who would proactively take her master’s hand. She didn’t know what she would become after being [mentally submissive].
But in the end, it was that damned Calysia who had forced her!
It had nothing to do with me…
Reina thought as she walked. After a while, she felt a little dizzy, and then began to quicken her pace, muttering, “Master is such a dummy. That’s the power of the goddess, really… don’t you want me to regain my strength?”
“Hehe…”
Calysia smiled and shook her head, as if she didn’t care at all.
“How does Reina know the power is here?”
“There’s no other possibility…”
Reina said, pouting.
The ruins were real, the enemies were real, and the Pope’s conspiracy was also real.
If the power wasn’t here, then where could it be?
“Hee hee~”
“What are you laughing at?”
“But little Reina, why are you worried?” Calysia asked. “I’m so strong, can’t you just hide behind me?”
“Even if you’re confident, what if Agnes is in danger?” Reina knew that Calysia didn’t care much about the God Slaying Society or the Four Realms, but she couldn’t possibly not care about her own daughter.
“I should probably go up and protect my daughter…”
“Agnes is not in danger,” Calysia stated firmly.
Reina looked at Calysia with suspicion.
“You haven’t made some kind of deal with Light, have you?”
“She did come to find me, but of course I support Reina~”
“Mmph…”
Suddenly, she felt as if she were being held in someone’s palm.
When she started her plan, Calysia also had her own ideas and plans.
But the feeling of unease still lingered.
Just then, the two had already arrived at the center of the terrain, at the edge of the misty pool.
The white clouds and mist shimmered with a seven-colored light, and it was unknown where it led. Reina wanted to use the [Eye of Light] to see through the clouds and mist, but suddenly dismissed this wasteful action and intended to jump in.
But just as she had the thought of “going down,” with the convergence of magic particles, a “crystal staircase” leading down into the misty pool appeared. Calysia, unconcerned, took Reina’s hand, and although she was a little worried, she also accepted the “invitation.”
After all, there was no danger by her master’s side.
After passing through the clouds and mist, Reina simply closed her eyes.
A cool mist washed over her face, and her entire body seemed to be bathed in a gentle magic power, but Reina couldn’t describe this feeling.
Her perception hadn’t disappeared, it was just that there was nothing here.
She couldn’t even analyze this mysterious mist, as if she had come to another world.
Therefore, the only sensation was the warmth of Calysia’s hand, which was gradually being amplified.
And then, besides the sound of footsteps…
There was silence.
So quiet that Reina wanted to start thinking, and the only thing that prevented her from getting lost in this absolute silence was the situation on her Light Clone’s side.
But Reina found that she would proactively withdraw her consciousness and return to the present, where she was with Calysia.
Damn it…
Why am I like this? Am I finally going to fall into this woman’s arms?
Just being held by the hand would make her have many wild fantasies, as if her heart was already expecting something.
In the peace and tranquility, to avoid being completely conquered by Calysia’s warmth, she subconsciously began to think.
But all she thought about was Calysia.
This dummy, ever since she saw me, she has been very concerned about me.
Although that definitely wasn’t the first time they had met, and perhaps they had already experienced things beyond the [hidden ending] that Reina couldn’t imagine.
If she treated the hidden ending as something that had really happened, what would happen?
Reina remembered that the hidden ending was when she defeated the Goddess of Light… and then chose to [redeem] Calysia.
She took away the [bayonet] she was about to use to commit suicide and brought her to a hidden little farmhouse in the devastated human world.
And began a life of seclusion.
Humanity would not agree to Calysia’s existence. Knowing that the Dragon King was still alive, they would even do whatever it took to kill her.
To prevent the greed of some people with ulterior motives, the desires of tomb raiders, or to make humanity believe that she had already died or “retired to the countryside,” she had discarded most of her equipment and treasures, just using that money to buy a house that could barely make a living, and lived in seclusion, also to be with the Dragon King.
Also, to hide her astonishing combat power, Reina had found a normal person’s job and worked from dawn to dusk.
Although it didn’t feel real…
Calysia’s magic power was exhausted, and she could only recuperate at home because she had exhausted her strength in battle… and she was also a dragon dummy.
During that time, Reina got to know Calysia from different angles.
She couldn’t sweep, she couldn’t cook…
But she never complained. Any small favor she could do, she never hesitated.
And so, the two lived together for many years, and during this time, they even fell in love… At least, Reina was sure that Calysia liked her.
Finally, it was time to part.
A dragon and a human could not be together in the end, and besides, it was just a game.
Before leaving, Reina remembered that she and Calysia had an agreement…
“If there’s a next time, I will definitely be your wife.”
She held my hand and, through tears, laughed.
And then, her consciousness was interrupted at this moment.
However, Reina was sure that perhaps it was an accident that the two were reunited, or perhaps she was brought to the Dragon Realm and started a new life, and during this time, she and the Goddess of Light had some kind of relationship… or, it was more complicated, perhaps completely different from what she had imagined.
But if it was really as ideal as she had imagined…
Calysia, why won’t you tell me the truth?
