Chapter 91: The Battlefield?
"I don’t want the same thing as an answer, I reject your answer." Leon said, face remained neutral.
The voice didn’t reply back, and the air remained silent for a while. It felt as if Leon was simply staring at that eye, and the voice never existed.
But then, the voice rang in his head once again as it said. "W-what?" Its voice cracked lightly, it felt as if the being it belonged to was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean ’what?’ I don’t want that thing as an answer."
’I’m sick of this thing now... what do they mean by you’re not ready yet? Draviel, and now this eye thingie too?’
A vein bulged on Leon’s forehead as he crossed his arms, and said. "I want an answer. What are you, and what are you doing in my body?" He asked once again, eyes remained fixed at the huge sized eye.
A small chuckle fell inside of his ears, and the next instant shockwaves appeared once again. The waves were stronger than the ones before, and it became difficult for Leon to hold his ground.
He raised his arms instantly, mana appeared on his arms right away as he gritted his teeth. ’What the hell!!’
The waves were getting pushed away from his body because of his mana, but it wasn’t enough to block it completely.
"I didn’t expect you to uphold a spirit like that." The voice hit his mind once again, and the pressure this time was greater.
Leon’s mind started to ache, his veins popped through his forehead as he grabbed his skull. "Ugh!!" He groaned.
"I like your spirit, but you’re not ready yet." The moment it stopped saying its words, Leon’s body got covered with crimson colored waves which represented the state of a mana.
The mana which was covering his body disappeared into thin mist, and the body of Leon wasn’t there anymore.
A large ton of weapons were on the ground, some of them were destroyed and some had blood drenched on them.
The grass on the soil was covered with fresh blood, it felt as if the war had occurred just now. Even the soil was covered with the blood, and the color of it had been turned into crimson red.
Stench of blood in the air was so thick that it could even make a human faint because of the nausea.
"Run!!" Someone screamed, while running.
"They’re coming, run and don’t think about anything else!!" Another man shouted on top of his lungs.
A large number of people were running in the same direction, it felt as if they were running from someone, trying their last effort to save their life.
Leon’s body was on the ground, laying there lifeless. His eyes twitched lightly, hands clenched as the noise of people fell inside of his ears.
People were running in such hurry that some of them ran over Leon’s body, and no one even cared about it. Only one thing was revolving inside of their mind and that was survival.
The sudden force of the impact made the air inside of Leon’s lungs escape through his lungs instantly.
His eyes shot open entirely, mouth was open slightly and his drool dropped out through it as droplets. He noticed that there were people around him who were running towards the opposite direction in hurry.
But the only thing which curled inside of his mind was. ’Where am I?’ There wasn’t even a single thought instead of that.
He pushed himself back up, looking around him as he noticed that the huge eye wasn’t there anymore, nor the darkness covered space.
He shook his head lightly, as he took a deep breath and muttered. "I have to comprehend this thing, can’t lose my mind at this point." He whispered to himself.
"I have seen a little too much to get baffled by this thing."
He felt a sudden sensation inside of his legs which made him stagger a little, and the next instant his legs gave up as he fell on his knees.
His eyes remained widened, mouth opened slightly as he muttered. "W-what the hell!?"
His hands moved towards the legs, grabbed them as he started shaking them abruptly. But there wasn’t any kind of sensation inside of them.
A sudden thought fell upon him as his body started to get completely covered in sweat, horror was clearly visible through his face. ’I-I can’t feel my legs... what the hell?’
The panic had already started to take over him, mind became foggy as his eyes blurred out. But the resolve of his remained intact. "Where the fuck am I?"
His gaze fell on his legs once again, he remained staring for a while as he noticed something strange. His legs looked thinner than usual, and the visual in front of his eyes gave a sudden suspicion to him.
"Wait... these aren’t my legs, what the hell!?" He said, almost a whisper. Without wasting another second, he started looking for something.
Gaze travelled in all four directions, but the only thing visible to him was the people wearing ragged clothes, completely drenched in sweat running to save their life.
But, after looking for a while, he noticed a small puddle of water which looked dirty but sufficient to fulfill his needs.
’I have to make my way there... I need to confirm my suspicion about this body.’
He tried to move himself, but his legs didn’t budge even an inch. He raised both of his arms up in the air, and shot his fists down towards his legs. He hit his legs multiple times, expecting even a sliver bit of reaction.
At first, it felt numb but soon later the sensation returned. A sudden surge of pain ran through his legs, something which only happened after a muscle tear.
A low groan escaped through his mouth, eyes frowned a little but he pushed himself back up. Trying his best to maintain his posture, he made his way towards the puddle barely.
And the moment he reached there, he fell on his knees. He was still a bit away from the water, he gritted his teeth as a thought curled inside of his mind. ’Fuck... I need to make my way there!!’
His hands clutched the ground, nails dug deeper into the soil as he started pushing himself forward towards the puddle.
Second after second, the pain started to grow even more, making it difficult for him to move even an inch. But he still reached there, he lifted his head as he looked into the puddle.
The thing which he saw made the ground under his feet disappear. It was his own face, which basically wasn’t even his.
’W-what? What the hell?’
Leon started touching his body abruptly, hands ran towards the cheeks as he started touching the skin, and features of his face were completely different.
He didn’t get enough time to panic. His mind still hadn’t comprehended it completely, but a sudden loud noise fell inside of his ears.
His head shot towards the direction from where the voice just came. There were still people coming from that direction, running to save their life.
But there was something which made the ground beneath his feet dangle. Sweat started to appear on his temple, body started to shake as he muttered under his breath. "D-Draviel!?"
The voice of his carried the feeling of sudden shock, but then he opened his mouth to speak again. "Draviel, it’s me." He raised his hand up in the air, and started waving towards Draviel.
The air was completely filled with the screams of people, the type which sounded scared more than assured. And because of that, Leon’s voice didn’t reach Draviel’s ears.
A sudden thought appeared inside of his mind, which made the reality clear to him. ’Wait... I’m not in my actual body right now, or something else. But right now, Draviel will never recognize me.’
He raised his both hands, clutched his face with the palms as he took a deep breath. "Fuck, what kind of shit even this?"
"I didn’t even get the quest regarding this, what’s this thing even about?"
He started to question himself, in words which were barely audible just to himself. His hands slid down to ground, grabbed the grass as he looked up in the sky, and then his gaze shifted towards the direction where Draviel was coming from.
His eyes remained focused there for a while, but then he noticed something strange. A person, wearing a green robe adorned with intricate golden engravings.
