[Yes... He couldn't touch you because even though your chaos was just an aura, it had jumped a dinsion or two to switch between tangible and intangible at your will
'Isn't that a little OP?' I asked with a raised brow.
[It breaks the laws of this universe. Of course, it will be overpowered.]
Listening to Hela's remark, I could not help but roll my eyes before finally turning my attention towards the duo that was currently standing in front of , the girl that I had almost forgotten the na of, on the floor alongside the boy with orange hair standing in front of her as a ans to protect her from , as if I was so kind of savage beast that would attack anything and everything that moved.
"You know, if I wanted to kill all three of you, I wouldn't have much a of a problem. I did puml that beast girl over there after all while you guys couldn't even land a hit on her." I pointed towards the catgirl on the other side of the arena bleeding onto the floor after being pumled and beaten by .
When the boy had finally looked over, his eyes could not help but widen at the scene while at the sa ti, his eyes darted from the catgirl to all over the arena, finally being able to witness what kind of havoc I had caused in the fight against her.
Lea on the other hand simply sat there on the floor with a relieved expression, as if she now knew that the person who was trying to protect her wouldn't do anything stupid.
"Ugh"
A small grunt could be heard from behind them as another boy but this ti with bright erald-green hair sat up and rubbed his eyes while holding his head in the other hand. I watched him as he slowly stood up and looked at Lea who was now looking at him with vibrant happiness and joy that I did not see when she looked at the other boy with bright orange hair.
'Maybe I was wrong?' I asked myself while looking at all three of them, but I quickly realized that I might have been more right than I had thought.
[A love triangle aye?] Hela remarked with her best semi-robotic impression of a British accent, making chuckle in the process, yet just loud enough for no one but to hear.
'He looks kinda heartbroken, don'cha think?' I asked Hela, making her also stifle a chuckle in return.
[Remind of your relationship with rose.] She comnted, causing to narrow my eyes and look facepalm after hearing the sa topic being brought up again for the umpteenth ti
'What is with you and my relationship with Rose? I was angry at the start but she is just trying to save face! Just watch when we go back to being in private.' I quickly retorted
[Oh yeah? While you might not be angry about the whole thing with her acting as she hates you, I know you are angry about what she did on that night]
'I don't know what you are talking about.' I replied coldly
[Do you think I can't feel your emotions or sothing? Of course, I can feel what you are feeling, and probably sotis even have that feeling amplified. I saw how you reacted when she put that thing in you and the only reason you allowed it to happen is because of your silly and naive nature of allowing her to do whatever she wanted.]
'I an... I felt nice...' I tried to reason
[No it didn't. You were uncomfortable with it throughout the entire ti it happened and you just rather not admit it because you are ashad of allowing it to happen to you]
'Ugh. This isn't ti for us to be fighting. Who knows ow many more trials there are and if I am correct, all of them are most likely going to be harder than this.'
However, instead of willingly being taken out of the conversation, I heard a voice co in front of , snapping back to reality and making look back at the trio with questioning eyes.
"How did you get here so quickly? Did you sohow skip a trial?" Lea asked, causing to tilt my head a few degrees to the right and answering "Not that I am aware of."
"Oh... Uhm, then did you go through the trap area and the really long tunnel place?"
"You an the place which made mana beco less over ti? Yeah I went through both that and the trap area that you ntioned... Talking about the trap area, which one of you knows how to make runes?" I asked, making Lea's eyes perk up and look at with joy
"You saw those? You have mana eyes too, right? What did you think? I've been learning how to do them for a while, but do you think that they are better than the ones you can create? What did you think of the size? Facsinated? I've been learning about runes-"
I quickly cut her off by waving both my hands and saying "It was a yes or no question." This imdiately made anger flare in both of the boy's hearts but it made the girl quickly calm down and apologize without skipping a beat.
"Yes. I know how to make runes." She replied calmly this ti,
"Hmm." I went into contemplation while touching my chin lightly. After thinking for a while, Lea finally spoke out and said sothing that would shock .
"If you let us go with you guys, I'll teach you all about runes"
"Why would that matter I were to be already proficient in runes" I replied, seemingly unphased by her proposition.
"Well, you don't seem like the kind of person to waste ti and you wouldn't have asked a question if you didn't want to know sothing important from it." She replied with a small smile.
[She's pretty observant]
'I know...'
"There is no point in taking you. In the end, I can get through all of it on my own and I am more than certain that the thing at the end of the trial is worth much more than the information you would give ." I retorted.
"Yes, but multiple people can take the prize at the end. The end prize is more of a blessing that is given to soone rather than an item to be taken away. All of us can receive it and we wouldn't have a problem." She explained.
Hearing what she had to say, I was left temporarily shocked but after thinking about what she had said, it seed to have made sense. This temple was possibly here for countless decades and maybe even centuries. Within that ti fra, it is bound for soone to eventually stumble upon it, therefore making it so that the only real answer to how the last reward worked would be how Lea had described it.
However, thinking about it further, I realized that sothing must be different. Whoever created the temple must have known about divine beings and the gods seeing what happened in the last trial, but at the sa ti, they must have had sothing, especially for people like who could easily blitz through sothing as simple as these current trials
"I still can't believe that you guys got here so quickly too. We had gone in first and when we looked around, there wasn't anyone in miles. The trial of the mind itself should have slowed you down a little too, right?" The boy with erald hair asked in disbelief, yet after hearing what he had said, I could not help but raise a brow at his words.
"Trial of mind?" I asked
"The trail of mind did take quite a bit, but we still got here almost at the sa ti as you two so you must of had a few hicups in it too." Lea comnted after appearing behind , not that I didn't already notice her but I still had chosen to ignore her presence.
"Scar. Did you go through the trial of mind?" I shouted at him from across the arena, causing him to shake his head with confusion written all over his face.
"I an, he is a beast so it is expected that he wouldn't go through that trial. It is ant for the more emotionally aware afterall." The orange-haired boy explained, yet I was still kept confused.
"Did you not go through the trial of mind?" Croloe asked
"No? I don't even know what that is."
[Oh yeah, about that...]
'Hela, What did you do?'
[Well technically, I did nothing. It was all you]
'What does that an?'
[Well, sothing inside of you naturally repelled the thing that wanted to infiltrate your brain. I wanted to tell you about it but I was too busy intercepting the Temple's system ssages, interpreting them, and sending them to your brain. Afterward, I didn't feel it happening anymore so I just thought it was a one-off or that I might have been wrong.]
Hearing this, I could not help but sigh, but I still felt a little pissed off at how Hela kept it from even though she wasn't really known to tell things, sothing I had found out after knowing how many things she was not willing to tell no matter what due to so kind of 'Protocol'.
Trying to ward off the negative emotions that were overcoming alongside the chaotic energy decreasing the intervals between each whisper alongside increasing their volu, I shook my head and began walking towards the corpse-like body on the ground, laying there and barely repairing herself.
"This is the last ti I say this. Beco my servant, or die here as nothing but a stepping stone. It is your choice."
