Infinitum Crystals - Conquest of Virtue [4]

Chapter 6.12 - White - Out of Control

It was quite dark. Actually, really dark. I could not see anything at all. I can't even feel anything. I do however heard a voice calling for me...

"White...get up..." It was a voice I know so well.

I wasn't even able to speak back to her. But she kept on calling for me.

"Get up, White...get up..." she continues.

I felt a warm sensation all over my body. There's like a warm feeling on my lips.

My thoughts begins to fade away once I heard, "Get...the fuck up, White." That's not Zenith.

My vision finally returned as I continuously blinked my eyes until my vision gets clearer. Two person were looking at me, one of them was way closer. It came to my realization that it was Izzy Nova Crystalist.

"White..." she sounded like she was about to cry.

I slowly woke up, "Izzy...? What happened?" Then I saw Azreal and asked him, "What just happened, Az?"

Azreal was not looking at me. In fact, he looked a bit irritated.

He simply shakes his head and told me, "Lucky bastard..."

"What...?" I was confused.

I looked at myself and noticed that I was completely wet. I look next to me and saw a river. I finally remembered that the three of just took a long dive from the Queen's castle. But what exactly does Azreal mean by being lucky? Hold on, don't tell me.

But before I was able to say anything, Izzy proceeds to hug me, "Thank, The Great Will. You're alright." Tears started to drop from her eyes.

At the end of the day, I decided its best not to question it at all and move on. I should just let her calm herself for now. I'm sure I've already hurt her enough but there is still other important matters to attend to.

I looked at Azreal and asked, "Are we safe yet, Az?"

He shakes his head, "Not yet. We're not even remotely out of the kingdom. We got a bad news though."

"What is it?" I wondered while Izzy was still hugging me.

He told me, "All AIs have become too crazy. They've started to attack anything except their AI buddies with no remorse. The kingdom is in flames."

"What of the commanders and Pantheons?" I asked.

"I can't say for sure what happened with The Goblin Gang and Sam. But I saw the other commander escaping the kingdom. They've probably on their way back to their own city considering what is happening right now."

"So even the other city is affected..." I looked down.

"Come on, we gotta get out of here." Azreal began to prepare himself.

I nodded, "Yeah, sure."

I looked at Izzy who remained stationary. I assured her by gently tapping her back. Then I slowly and carefully pushed her away from me. After letting go of the hug, I see that her makeup was falling apart thanks to her weeping as well as jumping down into the water.

"Maybe it's time to let go of that makeup." I told her. "You've never worn makeup back in high school, yeah?"

She wipes her tears as she slightly laughed, "Oh shut up, Player 2." She bashfully punched my chest.

"You done cheating yet, White?" Azreal interrupts.

"Wha-Wait. No! It's a misunderstanding!" I tried to find an excuse.

"Sure, whatever. Come on. We still gotta get out of this place." Azreal brought out his scythe from his Dimensional Inventory.

Izzy and I finally got up as both of us also brought out our own weapons.
