Infinitum Crystals - Conquest of Virtue [4]

Chapter 6.8 - White - Player 1 & Player 2

Since Izzy herself mentioned that Danielle isn't the only followers of hers, some of them had finally arrived to lend us a hand. I'm quite surprised to know that Izzy doesn't need any kind of help of her own. She's probably very confident of her skills. Of course, I'm not saying that she's not capable. I'm just amazed at how much she has progressed since the last time we've hanged out together during high school.

"Behind you, White!" yelled Danielle.

I quickly duck as Danielle shoots out a horrific laser beam which disintegrate the AI that was about to ambush me.

I sighed, "That laser of yours is too dangerous over here."

"We're in a virtual space, White. It can be fixed in no time." so he says.

"Yeah. Yeah." I slowly nodded as I brought out my crossbow and began to load it with one of those wind magic bolts I have.

I shot somewhere further at another group of rebelling AIs. Once the bolt hits one of the AIs straight to their chest, the bolt exploded into a whirlwind catastrophe. Another AI was about to ambush me again, this time I retaliated by throwing my crossbow at the AI. It caught the AI off guard as it allow me to run toward it and stab it with my dagger deep into its chest. I pushed the AI away with my leg as I pulled out my dagger from its chest. I quickly threw my dagger to another AI nearby, which it did hit it head. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly 'Blink' myself to the dagger's location and continued my fight there.

All of this fighting really do reminded me a lot of how much Izzy and I used to play that one virtual reality game we played at the shopping mall. But I don't think right now would be the best time to remember that since that there was a bunch of opposing force at the time.

Reinforcement had finally arrived as they took out the AIs one by one. Piece by piece and before you know it, the revolt has been stopped. I also happen to notice that there were escapees trying to leave the city.

"Should we stop them?" I asked Danielle.

"No." With a cold heart tone, Danielle aims his laser energy and blasted the running AI.

That's awfully cold of him. I guess you can never assume a person by just a single trait that they always show to us. As to what I have observed so far, he is quite laid back sometimes but he can be cold and gruesome when it was time to get serious.

"Alright." Danielle turned toward me and reminded, "You should head back to the lounge. Supreme Leader Izzy is waiting for you."

"Are you sure?"

He nods, "Yes. She notified me a few moments ago using a telecommunication device that she made for us followers."

Resourceful, to say the least. With all have been said and done, I left Danielle and the other followers as they began to clean up the mess that the rebelling AIs had done. I've arrived back at the lounge several minutes later.

"Huh." I exerted a puff of tiredness as I finally reached the red door of Izzy's office. "That was a lot of work."

And so, I immediately opened the door without even properly knocking it. I opened the door and there was no one in the office. That's weird. I thought she would be back already since that was what Danielle had told me. It was at that realization when I hear the glistening sound of...water showering down and hitting a marble floor nearby. It didn't need a detective to know who was taking a shower. It was at that very moment where I knew I fucked up as soon as I notice that the shower just stopped.

"You should have knocked, White." Izzy's echoing voice can be heard from a distance.

I immediately turned my back as I look away from wherever she was from.
