Chapter 143: Day 5

I logged out yesterday after failing to find a way to meet Lier.

I am currently underwater. In the underwater ruins.

I have ten minutes to find the exit of this floor.

I found some orbs in the water. There are fishes, but they are not part of the event. I will get exp if I kill them, but I will not get any orbs.

I have no time to waste here.

I am finally in 2nd place. Karkas is 3rd. I need at least 30 diamond orbs to pass the 1st.

After swimming for a while, I found an exit, but there was a Kraken guarding the door.

12 legs...or should I say tentacles?

I should finish it quickly and get some orbs.

I can't swing my sword underwater. I can't use my Harden skill either.

[Skill Sprinter Activated]

At least this will help in boosting my speed.

I clenched my fists and went near the Kraken.

2 minutes left.

Actually, scratch it.

[Skill Harden Activated]

I landed on the ground and walked to the Kraken.

Kraken floated up.

Got you.

As soon as it floated up, I jumped and used my levitate skill to boost my jump. Its tentacles were swaying as he floated up. I grabbed one of the tentacles and squished it. I did the same with all its other tentacles and now it is a tentacleless Kraken.

Kraken was now lying on the ground, doing nothing. Hopeless without its tentacles.

Now then, time to finish you.

I grabbed my sword and activated the sword skill and cleaved the Kraken into two.

I got 30 diamond orbs, but I am still in 2nd place. 

Who the heck is that first player?

She got another 50k points in a minute. 

1 minute left.

I pushed the door and went in.

"Made it in time"

[It was so scary] 

"It was scary?"

[It was!]

"Well I ended it in a minute"

[That's because of...]

"Of?"

[Nohing]

"Lily, do you know something--"

"Who is there?!"

It's a male's voice.

Great.

I will kill him and get some orbs.

I grabbed my sword and hid behind the wall.

My sprinter and harden skills are still active.

It will be easy. 

Footsteps came near me and stopped behind the wall, exactly where I was standing.

I took a step forward and crouched down to stab him with the sword, but stopped when I saw who that player was.

"It's you!"

Why.

Why?

Why?!

Out of all people, it had to be him, or should I say...her.

"Hello Grace"

I can feel my face twitching.

"Hello. Das"

I can see her face twitching.

I guess we can't get along after all.

And I don't want to get along with her in the first place.

"Well then, goodbye" I said, as I turned my back at her.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"How is Elena doing?"

"Do you think I will tell you that?"

"No"

"Then why ask?"

"...."

"Okay, I am going"

I once again turned my back at her to get out of there.

"Wait!"

"What now?"

"I want to talk to you"

"I don't have time"

"Please listen! I will give you all my orbs if you listen to me"

"Do you really think I will fall for this trap?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am sure it's about Elena. I don't want to hear it"

"It is about her, but...please just listen to me. Only 5 minutes" 

What happened to her usual attitude?

"Finish it in 1 minute"

"I will try, thanks"

"Say it already"

"I just want to say I don't love Elena anymore, so you don't have to be cautious about me"

"Bullshit"

"No, I am telling the truth. Please believe me!"

Seriously, what's wrong with her?

Why is she acting so strange?

Or more like a...she is acting like a girl.

No, Das. Don't believe her. This might be a trap.

"So, why are you saying this to me?"

"I just don't want you to feel like I felt"

"What do you mean?"

"You feel uneasy when you think about me, right?"

"Not really."

She was forcing her smile while talking at me, but when I said that, her forced smile dropped.

"So you never thought of me as a rival in love"

What.

Is.

Wrong.

With.

Her?!

Why is she talking like this?!

I am feeling uneasy talking to her right now.

"Look. I don't know what's wrong with you, but if you were talking about that, then yes. I never saw you as a rival in love, from our very first meeting. I only saw you as a girl, and a mentor of Elena"

"But I am--"

"And talking about uneasiness, then yes. I felt uneasy every time Elena mentioned you, but that wasn't jealousy. It was just pure thought of monopolizing her, nothing else"

"So you don't hate me?" 

"Hate is a small word. I loathe you"

"I see" she said, giving me a wide smile.

"Huh?"

"Hahahahaha"

She is scaring me!

I just mocked her by saying I loathe you, and she is laughing crazily.

So this is what happens when the person you love rejects you.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Thanks"

Why is she thanking me?!

I should run!

"See you"

"Wait! Take these orbs"

She gave me all of her orbs.

I am 1st now.

"Thanks"

"Why are you thanking me?"

"You gave me your orbs"

"That's because I said I will give them to you"

"Well..."

I shouldn't have thanked her.

"Listen, I know you will not believe me but, I never lie"

"...."

So?

"And when I said I don't love Elena, that is true. I don't love her anymore"

"Fine. I believe you"

"So..."

"Hmm?"

"Can I meet Elena in the real world"

"I knew it!"

It was a trap after all.

"No! I mean, I want to meet her...or should I say...I want to see her, can I?"

"I don't see any difference and there is no way I am letting you meet with her"

"I have loved her for more than 13 years. I haven't seen the girl I used to love for 13 years. Can't I see her one last time?"

"Stop acting sad in front of me!"

"You can come with her. You should come with her. Then there is no problem, right?"

What should I do?!

Should I believe her?

"Fine. I will let you meet her"

"Thanks!"

"And I am coming with her"

"No problem"

"And you can just see her, and talk to her. Don't even try to touch her or I will break your hands"

"I will not"

"...."

I just threatened her, didn't I? 

I just said I will break her hands if she tries to touch Elena, didn't I?

Then why the hell is she so happy?

"I want her to see the real me"

"What do you mean?"

"I want her to see me. How I look, how I talk, how I act"

"I am pretty sure it's no different than your usual self"

"It's not like that. That's not the only reason I want to meet her"

"What?"

"I actually wanted to meet you, and I was sure you would have denied if I asked you. So, I asked about Elena, that way I can see her too, for the last time"

"Why...do you want to meet me?"

"To tell you some things I remember from when I was staying at the palace with you, Elena, Selena, and Lier"
