Dead Birthday's

Chapter 13 : New World Part 2

Using all the strength I have, I swing my weapon to the queen. Give the last strike I have now.

*Clang*

My weapon does not pierce the queen's scales. The reason turns out to be that my Pourvoir form mode has expired.

In an instant I felt hopeless, my body that had no energy and soul energy, fell freely in front of the queen.

The queen who saw me had become hopeless; her expression immediately changed. The queen immediately opened her wide mouth ready to devour me.

Once again, I experienced this scene, before I was saved by Alp, but now it seems I can't avoid the queen's attack. I can hear the voice screaming Alp who screams my name, without looking at his face, from the scream he generates I can tell what Alp's expression looks like now.

Then I just gave up, but now I feel like I want to live a little longer and I will not give up my life. I pointed my palm towards one of the queen's fangs. Take the gamble using my remaining soul energy and give me a boost.

An aura of darkness rose from the palm of my hand and managed to push it away from the queen's mouth. But the aura I emit is very small because I use up the rest of my existing soul energy.

The queen managed to land her bite attack on me. My leg that was bitten by it was cut in two in an instant. The pain oozing from my nerves told me as much detail as possible.

With my legs cut off, pockets free-falling from a height and my back hitting the asphalt road, so I didn't feel the pain almost all over my body. Due to the impact, my body couldn't move an inch. I shed a large number of tears from the pain I was feeling.

"Mort! Mort!" I heard my name calls, one voice Alp and one female voice I've heard.

With a weak gaze I glanced at the voice. As I thought, it was Lynn's voice. Seeing Lynn running towards me in panic, I also felt panic.

"Why are you here Lynn?!" I asked in a voice so weak that it seemed like no one could hear me.

My panic is caused by suddenly seeing someone I love to want to risk their lives to save me in a situation like this. I do not want this to happen, because of my failure I harm the woman I love.

Lynn, who was in my place immediately, didn't think twice about healing me. Lynn healed my legs first because she saw that the wounds on my legs were stronger than the others.

Lynn said in a trembling voice. "Don't die! Please... don't die, Mort! I will heal you now so please don't die here! Don't leave us! Don't leave me..." Her tears started coming out. I don't know why she is shedding tears now.

But her cry I did not expect. Somehow, one of the sentences she said made me happy. But...

I grabbed her wrist and said with a weak voice. "Thank you for worrying about me, but you have to get out of here and take Alp with you. Even if I die here, at least you can survive Lynn."

She bit her lip and shouted. "Don't say something like that! I don't want to hear words like that from you! I still haven't spent a long time with you... I don't want our time together to stop here..."

"W-What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know what I'm saying now... When we met my eyes for the first time, somehow I felt we had met before."

"We have met before?" I asked, wondering when I had met Lynn before.

"Somehow all the time in class I glance at you. Every hour, every minute and every second I want to see your face! I really don't know what I'm saying right now, but all I want to say is don't leave me now!"

I was shocked by what Lynn had just expressed her feelings. I don't know whether our feelings are the same or not. But I know that what she said was almost the same as confession.

She said that before she met me, I don't know when it was, but I also feel the same way. I feel the two of us have met from a very long time ago.

I laughed weakly and closed my eyes with my wrist saying." I feel so pathetic now! Your words were almost the same as confession to me. I also feel angry with myself. Because I should have said that confession with you first, but instead you always start before me."

I cry to give her a smile and say. "Because of you I feel like I want to survive this and live a lot longer."

I took a peek, saw Lynn's face flushed with embarrassment either because of her own words or what I just said to her.

"Then... Let's survive this situation together!" Lynn said, giving me a look that looked like she had made up her mind.

"What a great scene for your last life. I shall give you a gift for showing me your scene earlier."

The queen spread her wings and was followed by another dragon. The queen began to fly high, twice as tall as the tallest building. She started to feel a powerful breath she was going to start shooting into this city.

I could feel the force of the breath the queen was about to blow out so strong that one breath seemed to flatten half the city.

Holding hands with Lynn in the hope that times all can be saved where the likelihood of survival has become zero.

The clock is ticking. I heard the sound aloud. Every second I hear and slowly the beat of the hour per second starts to slow down and ends up stopping.

We looked around and saw no one was crusty apart from the three of us. the queen and the other dragons stopped without flapping their wings.

"What has happened?" Alp who managed to stand up limping over to my place asked about the situation that had happened.

"I-I don't know, it's like time has stopped, but why are we still able to move?" Lynn said while she was still processing the situation that had happened.

"As Manes and Indra say... Human beings will work hard to be able to live even if they feel that there is no chance for them to live." The voice of a woman we hear.

"I do not believe what Manes said is true. This is very annoying!" The boy's voice sounded like a child's being heard by us.

I was curious about the identity of that voice, but my power had started to disappear, and I finally entered the darkness of my mind.
