Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

Hero

3rd person POV

"How, how the hell are you still alive, Alfia? I buried you," Bell said, his voice shaky and uncertain.

Alfia scoffed and shook her head. "We live in a world of magic, gods, and monsters, you think I couldn't simply, slow down my pulse to a pace you couldn't pick up, or hold my breath so it appeared as if I had stopped breathing? I thought I taught you better than that."

Bell shook his head. "No, no, you were sick, I watched as you withered away."

Alfia rolled her eyes. "Really Bell, after all that Zeus did with his Arcanum, you didn't think he would use it to heal me before he died"

Bell felt stupid for not even thinking of that. Zeus erased everyone's memory of Regis and brought Zald back to life, who's to say he didn't cure Alfia as well

"Seems you finally pieced it together, now I will allow you to take the elf out of here, she has a purpose for later," Alfia dismissively said.

Bell's eyes narrowed at her. "How do I know you won't attack me the second I turn my back"

Alfia scoffed. "Please, I'm already stronger than you, why lower myself to a cheap attack like that if I can beat you when you're trying" she dismissively said.

Bell hesitantly knelt down and picked up Ryu's unconscious body in his arms. Alfia closed in the sphere of Cronos, so there would be enough room for only the two of them.

Alfia had complete control over this dome, only one thing had ever broken through this dome before, and Bell couldn't even comprehend its power. So he slowly walked to the end of the dome and saw his familia, as well as the Astraea familia, Demeter and her two children were there as well as Demeter had refused to leave Bell.

"Bell, what's going on" Miach worriedly asked.

A small horizontal hole opened up, it was big enough for Ryu to fit through but not Bell, as he was just a bit taller and bulkier.

"Astraea, take her," Bell said, passing Ryu to Astraea. Astraea passed her to Laurier and Cassandra, who started healing her.

Bell then looked back to Miach, a sad smile on his face. "It seems, I have one more fight before we can all go home"

Miach looked behind Bell, and his face filled with fear. He tried to reach for him through the hole, but it sealed itself before he could.

"No, Bell, she'll kill you," he panicked.

Everyone else looked to where Miach did and had similar reactions. Faces filled with fear, none more so than the Astraea familia.

Bell let out a sardonic chuckle. "Maybe, maybe I'll beat her, ya never know"

Astraea approached the dome, putting her hand where Bell's cheek was. "Bell, sweetie, don't fight her, you can run away," she begged.

Bell shook his head. "Can't do that, if I run, she'll just catch me, besides this is my chance to forge my own path, not in the shadow of Arthur's or Alfia's, but me"

"Bell, you run, run and live so we can be happy together," Aisha begged as she banged on the dome.

"Master Bell, please just run, don't fight her," Haruhime cried. Lena's fists were shaking in rage at her inability to do anything.

Welf ran up to the dome and looked at Alfia instead of Bell. "Let him go, why are you trying to kill him? He's your nephew for fucks sake"

Alfia paid Welf no mind, instead keeping her gaze on Bell.
