Chapter 171 - Purging family members
The look of contempt in Ren\'s eyes as he looked at Kite made the older man feel disturbed and ashamed. Ren then shifted his gaze to Cedric and his men.
"Take your son and scram. If you ever try to do this kind of sh*t again expect total annihilation."
Cedric nodded his head hearing Ren\'s declaration, he then took his son and fled the scene. Now the only ones remaining were the Restetis.
"You deal with your family issues, as for the one who tried to have Hilda\'s family killed bring that person to me once you\'re done."
"As you wish, master." After hearing Lance\'s reply Ren and Silika left the scene. The people who were watching at the side started to diminish as they saw that the commotion was over. They then started talking about what happened and started coming up with theories regarding the young man the patriarch of the Restetis called master.
...
After the disappointing turn of events, Ren returned to the cave with Silika. He then took a nap to calm his nerves before Lance appears. While he was napping Ren had another one of those dreams were he was another person, most probably one of his other incarnations.
...
The sky was darkened because of a powerful release in divine energy. Gabriel, supposedly one of Ren\'s past incarnation was heading toward it, of course beside him was his beloved partner Evangeline.
The two have been through a lot together, but this might be something beyond what they can handle.
Gabriel was looking at Eva, he wanted her to stay behind, while he finds out what was causing all this havoc. Yet, as usual, the girl never listened to him and just followed behind.
Gabriel wanted to protect her, but at the same time, Eva wanted to protect him. The two with similar feelings wanted to do the exact opposite of what the other wanted.
"Hey, Eva I really think you should sit this one out." (Gabriel)
"Huh? Why should I? Also if anyone should be not going it should be you right?" (Eva)
"Hey if there is danger, aren\'t I the stronger one the most appropriate to go?" (Gabriel)
"You? The one who knows almost nothing about magic or alchemy, wants to solve a problem regarding divine energy? That\'s pretty funny, I a renowned alchemist and also an able swordsman am more fit for the job." (Eva)
Gabriel looks at Eva for a moment before sighing.
"I really think you should go back Eva," Gabriel said so with a more serious tone than usual.
"Why?! Do you really think that I will be getting in your way?" Eva looks at Gabriel in pain. Gabriel shakes his head and answers while looking directly at Eva\'s eyes.
"No, you can never be in the way. It\'s just that, if I know my woman is going to be in danger, of course, I want her to stay back."
On hearing Gabriel say that she was his woman, Eva\'s face turned crimson. Eva was now blushing furiously.
"Huh? W... Wh...Who is... Your w...w....w....w-ommmm... Woman? Who is? Huh?" Eva was saying things while stuttering, causing Gabriel to smile. Gabriel pointed at Eva.
"You are my woman Eva, I love you," Gabriel said so with straight face causing Eva to blush even more, if somebody looks at her they can actually see the smoke coming from her head.
"So Eva how about you, what do you feel about me?" Gabriel continues his attack. Eva was caught off guard.
"Do I really have to say it?" Eva asks.
"I told you my feelings isn\'t it fair to tell yours?" Gabriel said so teasingly.
"You already know, how I feel. Do I need to say it?" Eva still trying to evade. Gabriel nods his head. Eva scratches her head while looking at the ground.
"Fine then, I... I... I lo...love you.. too." Even with all the stops, she was able to say it.
Gabriel approached her and hugged her. "Hey wait Gab..." Without waiting for her to finish Gabriel starts kissing Eva, Their lips were interlocked, while Gabriel shares his passion onto Eva. After what seems like an eternity to Eva, Gabriel finally let her go.
"W...W...W...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Eva screams. Gabriel tilted his head confused.
"Huh? That was a kiss wasn\'t it?"
"I know that was a kiss! What I meant was why did you do it?" (Eva)
"Huh aren\'t we lovers now, isn\'t that what lovers usually do?" (Gabriel)
"Yes... But... (sigh) never mind."
"Say, Eva."
"What is it now? You want to say something more."
"After we solve this problem, why don\'t we get married?" (Gabriel)
"WHAT!? Ummm... W... We just become lovers and now you want to marry?" Eva said so all flustered which amused Gabriel even more.
"Well, I have always thought about it. So now that I got the flow going, better say it now. So what do you think Eva, will you marry me?" Eva looked at Gabriel and scratched her head. She sighed, she had always known this guy was always like this.
"Sure, but you better make me happy." Eva showed a bright smile at Gabriel, which Gabriel responded with his own smile.
"Of course, my love."
...
The scenery changed and this time Ren felt an unknown pain in his heart. Ren could hear Gabriel\'s voice echo in his mind.
...
I know I\'m not the hero type but still for you I will move forward with everything I got. To the very end this world that you wish to protect I will protect it for you instead. So please let me act cool for this one last time.
I raised my sword over my head and slashed the divine object in front of me with everything I had. I tried to absorb the chaotic light emanating from the divine object.
I felt my fingers shattering, my bones being crushed, and my breathing becoming difficult. My flesh was slowly shedding, damn it!
I can\'t let it end like this not after acting all cool in front of her. Even if my soul shatters it doesn\'t matter anymore I will save this world! This world where we met, where we had many great adventures, where we exchanged our promise for the future, how can I let such a wonderful world end!
Gritting my teeth I poured everything into my sword when it suddenly breaks into millions of pieces. Without even thinking I let go of the handle of my beloved sword and tried to hold the divine object with what\'s left of my bare hands. If I can\'t destroy it, then I\'m bringing it down with me.
Though magic was never really my forte I still have this one trump card left in my deck. Spatial transfer the only magic I know of. Using my body to move the divine object to a different space where it won\'t hurt anyone other than me.
I turned and looked at her, I left with a smile. My body and the divine object moved to a different dimension. The warm light that had so much destructive power enveloped me, my body and soul felt like they were shattering "I love you Eva" I smiled at least I was able to say that much...
...
Ren woke up sweating profusely as he felt the pain of Gabriel in his final moments. Silika who was beside him looked worried.
"Ren are you alright?"
"Yeah, just having a bad dream." It was then Ren decided to ask his past incarnations about the dream he had, but before he could do anything Lance appeared before him with another person.
