I look around and begin to ask myself a question when we arrived here as I don’t know whether we’re dead or still alive.
"Is this heaven?" I say that within my thoughts but I doubt that as I think we’re not likely in heaven. There was no way that heaven would look like a barren desert as I thought it would be sohow like a huge space with only white colours.
But again I might be wrong as this might be heaven in another world. Still, I really think that heaven in another world wouldn’t be a desert. So I wonder where we were right now at this mont?
I look at Vicar as he was unconscious, he didn’t respond when I tried to talk with him. I know that Vicar didn’t die yet as I could see that he was still breathing and I doubt that he would die that easily. What the hell happens to us when we’re on the ship.
I still found it hard to believe that Captain Neir and Valia betray us like that. I didn’t really trust them but Vicar does really put his trust on both of them. Because of that naivety, where no ended up in a place that I don’t have any idea at all.
I guess the next ti we both needed to be extra cautious around the people that we just t for the first ti. We shouldn’t simply trust a new guy that we just t or else we’re gonna be betrayed like that. But still, not all stranger was bad as there still a nice one. We just need to know about sobody before we could put or trust them.
With that, I promise to myself that I wouldn’t repeat the sa mistake that happens again. I should have warned earlier and should have stood with my belief about those two guys. If I did that, this thing wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
When I think about it, I rember the guy that looks exactly like Captain Neir. Who was that guy as there’s no way that the real Captain Neir was the one that attacks us in the room before? He was with Valia when the fake Captain Neir attacked us.
I then realized that it might be the shadowy figure behind Valia and Captain Neir that attack Vicar in the room. Still, what was that thing anyway? If only I could see it more clearly or look at it for a long ti, I’m sure that I would know what it was.
But before I think about the shadowy figure for even further, my priority now was to figure out where the heck we were now and what place was this. I took a closer look at our surroundings but because I can’t walk, the information that I could gather about this place was limited.
Just by the look of this place, it was really obvious that this was indeed a barren desert with nothing on our surroundings at all. No human, no tree and no plant at all. Were we the only people around here right now as I began to wonder that in my mind.
But before I couldn’t confirm it yet as there might be so people around us, we just need to explore the place and maybe we could find the people here. I really need Vicar for this because, without him, I couldn’t explore this place in more detail and gather the information required to know our whereabouts right now.
I waited for Vicar to regain his consciousness for a while now but he was still unconscious. My mind started to panic a bit as I began to think that he will never wake up. I had learned that even if the person was still breathing even though the person unconscious, it wouldn’t guarantee that the person wouldn’t be in danger.
In the case of Vicar, he did ss with sothing that was told to be a very dangerous item. If what Captain Neir and Valia said about the Grimoire of Ruination was indeed the truth, Vicar would be in serious danger right at this mont.
They did say that trying to destroy the Grimoire of Ruination could kill the person. So I began to think that Vicar might actually be dying right now as he did attempt to destroy the Grimoire of Ruination. Vicar does imdiately fall to the floor if I recall that correctly.
It’s weird that I still believe that Vicar would wake up as I believe that he was fine. His breathing looks normal so I shouldn’t need to worry about it. Even though we’re dealing with a magical item effect right now, Vicar would be fine.
The more I think about this, I suddenly rember that we did beco sowhat ethereal after Vicar hit the Grimoire of Ruination using the dagger that given by Captain Neir. Why did we beco ethereal as why did it affect as well?
Shouldn’t Vicar be the only one that will get the effect from trying to destroy the Grimoire of Ruination? I didn’t do anything to harm the Grimoire of Ruination. It’s because I was with Vicar, I guess there must be a reason why I beco ethereal as well.
When I was in deep thought, suddenly Vicar cough and disturb my thinking session. I imdiately talk with him.
"Vicar? Are you alright..." I ask Vicar as he been coughing up quite a lot.
"I’m fine." Vicar then stands up from the ground as he looks around on his surroundings. I could tell that he was quite shocked to see his surroundings as we were not in the Dunkirk Neir anymore. He then asks where we were right now.
I simply replied, "To be honest Vicar, I don’t know where we are... But it looks like we are in the desert." I said with Vicar.
"But how did we end up here as we’re surely on the ship, what had happened back then?" Vicar ask as he was still confused about everything.
"I don’t know much how we ended up here but I know that Captain Neir and Valia tricked us and that’s how we in the desert right now," I said that to Vicar.
"Tricked us? What did they do..." Vicar said that.
When Vicar said that, I was quite surprised. Doesn’t he hear what Captain Neir and Valia had said when he collapsed to the floor back then? Does he don’t rember it or Vicar doesn’t know about that because he was already unconscious that ti?
"Do you really not heard what they had said? Do you not rember it..." I ask Vicar to make sure.
Vicar shakes his head as he didn’t hear anything. "The only thing that I rember was that I just about to destroy the Grimoire of Ruination, the rest I didn’t know..." Vicar said that with .
With that, I explain to him what exactly had happened back then in the room. I said that he was unconscious after trying to destroy the Grimoire of Ruination. Also, tell him that it was Captain Neir intention to sacrifice Vicar for the Grimoire of Ruination and they shouldn’t be trusted in the first place.
After explaining all about the incident, Vicar’s face was shocked to know about that. I bet that he couldn’t believe what had happened as he really trusts both of them. He really not expected that it was all a tricked to be able to make Vicar the next victim for the Grimoire of Ruination.
"I really should have believed in your ring, if I did that all of this would never happen..." Vicar said that with as he seems to regret not believing in what I had told him before.
"I know that I should be angry but I need to stay calm as it would not be helping us if I reacted that way," I said that trying to be a calm person.
"You could be angry with ..." Vicar said that.
"Like I said I could but our first priority right now is to figure out this place and how to return back to the Dunkirk Neir," I said that with Vicar.
"You’re right ring but couldn’t we just head back to the ship using the teleport talent, that’s why we don’t need to figure out the way back or even know about this place," Vicar said that.
Vicar does have a point there, why do I doesn’t think of that in the first place. We could just teleport ourselves out from here and sohow get our revenge on Captain Neir and Valia. It would be way easier than trying to find the way out.
"So what are you’re waiting for Vicar, let’s do it!" I said that with Vicar.
"Active Teleport!" Vicar said but sohow nothing happens as we still stuck in the sa place.
"Vicar! Hurry up and teleport us out from this place..." I said with Vicar.
