The blood on her veins boiling, her moves in nimble, she flies between the beast, she cut the horde of beast likes grass, the beast wail, and their enormous body falls on the ground and their blood covers the ground with dark crimson liquid.

but Lory doesn't flinch next she throws multiple knives on the giant beast body and used the knives to climbs the giant beast then she leaps above the beast giant head and thrust her katana to the beast forehead. Without waiting for the beast to fall she jump to the next beast behind it then she pierces their neck and slit their throat.

​​

It's a long fight, she took multiple potions to maintain her mana and focus, the beast howl as the swing their claw towards her, Lory swiftly evade the attack and cut off the beast front feet, the blood spill it tainted her body with the pungent smell but it didn't bother her.

Her body moves in the same rhythm, there's no fear in her eyes nor hesitation in her move is like her body moves on her own and she watches it from the outside.

"INCOMING!"

General Leon shouted and from the sky a firebolt coming from the sky. The katana on her hand return into a staff then lory pierces the staff to the ground with both of her hands and her eyes shine with dimmed purple light, then suddenly a transparent purple cover the whole soldiers like a giant dome and turn the beast near her into a speck of dust.

Hundreds of firebolt explode when it collided with Lory shields. The hits make her body numbs, she gritted her teeth to maintain the shield, she will protect her people!

When all fire bolts dispersed on the sky, she released her shield then she falls on the ground on her knee. Both her hands still grip tightly on her staff as she panting excessively, her conscious begins to waver but she can't faint here, the sounds of the beast still not decreased, Lory feel exhausted but she can't stop, not now!

With tremble hands, she reaches to her waist to take another potion to boost her mana.

"Why...."

A sudden cold voice make his hand paused.

"Why you fight sssooo….hard?" the eerie sounds make the hair on her nape raised.

"Why you work so hard for them, why you have to die for them….." 

Lory raised her head, but everything around them didn't moves is like you stop the pause button where everyone freeze. Lory was stupefied then she look at the trinity staff and the staff turn to ash, she tries to grab the ash but it slipped through her fingers. Lory strikes with panic, she looks at everyone but no one is moving.

"What….what is happening, why my trinity?" Lory staggered she still can't comprehend the situation before she realized black feathers one by one falling on the ground, Lory's eyes widened in shock, her body trembles profusely, in motion she look the wings behind her and her breath hicks.

"No – no – no – no – no, this….this can't be happening!" Lory presses her head with both of her hands as the black giant wings on er back spread widely "Girsha, Girsha where are you! GIRSHA!"Lory cry in panic

"You sssee…it's alwaysss been you, why iss always you, I know you've been asked this question secretly to yourself multiple time, why me?" the mocking sounds came again.

"Shut up, SHUT UP!" Lory desperately covers her ears, she refuses to hear the voice then she falls on her knees.

"I know you wish for it, a normal life, a peaceful life….no more struggle, no more fight….no more despair.." the voice keeps coming on her head seduced her with a sweet voice as it reveals her true desire.

"Don't you want a normal family, a gentle husband and beautiful children of your own…you don't have to fear about the future anymore, a peaceful life where you can watch your children and grandchildren…a simple life" the voice become gentle as it lay a beautiful dream in front of her.

Lory clench her chest, she knew she should not heed the voice but she can't stop to listen, she feel like a small boat in the face of a mighty storm, she was hit by the violent waves mercilessly. Who doesn't want a peaceful life, more than any normal people Lory crave it like lost travel in a dessert wishing for an oasis.

She can't deny that deep inside of her she does feel tired and sometimes death is not a terrible option and yet the god of death refused to accept her soul and once again she force to live in agony once again. why is it so hard for her just to be alive…she never asked for wealth, fame or glory she just wants.....one simple life, but why is it so hard for her!

"I can't take your pain away" the eerie voice inside her head become clearer "No more hurt, no more cry, no more goodbye…yes, yesss, I know you want it….don't lie, Lory, I know you want it…all you have to do is to give up, lay down your heart and be mine….say yes Lory"

Lory's heart shuddered, she begins to sway by the temptation, her lips slightly open, god's know how much she wants to give in and yet the three letters feel so heavy.

"I…..I…" the word is in the tip of her tongue.

"Say it, say it Lorient…." The eerie voice nudged the softest part of her and her heart shaken tremendously.

'Remember Lory, you are the King daughter' 

'You protect them and mother will protect you'

'Promised me, you will stay by my side through the end'

'You promised you will become my family!' 

A beautiful handsome man flash in her mind, she gently caresses her cheek 'Wherever you go, you will take me with you, okay'

Suddenly everything around her becomes quiet, Lory snapped from her stupor, her eyes glint with firm determination. Slowly she lowers her hands then as she straightens her back, she looks ahead of her then firmly said.

'NO!" 

All of a sudden the scene around her shatters like broken glass, she engulfs with enormous white light. Lory feel her body become overly heavy and she was paralyzed from the neck to her toe, she wondered if she becomes crippled, then again she realizes with her healing gift that would be impossible.

Lory make a soft moan, Zhao Li Xin who is next to her jolt on the bed, his head immediately rises, she notices Lory breathing became stronger and the eyeballs behind the eyelids move. He immediately retracts his hand and leg from Lory's body and her breathing becomes more relaxed.

"Lory, are you awake…?" Zhao Li Xin rubs her cheek with his thumb then he checks the pulse on her wrist, the increasing beat on her pulsed send joy to his gloomy face.

"Lory please wake up, I'm here….please wake up!" Zhao Li Xin alternately rub her cheeks, hands, and shoulders. "Lory listens to my voice, please wake up, please…."

"Uhhmm…." Lory hummed as she lightly shifts her head from Zhao Li Xin's excessive plead.

Zhao Li Xin smiles brightly, he becomes more excited and unconsciously shouted at her "Lory, Lory, you awake right!"

Lory groan is getting louder then her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly wings before it finally open, the purple gem ayes stare at Zhao Li Xin with daze and her mouth pursed slightly then softly she said "N…Noisy!"
