Chapter 75: CHAPTER 75: STILL ALIVE

As for Rafiz and others…

 

The second group and the third group had moved to Dorothia and appeared at a high place on a small mountain. They could see Luguom City but the destruction of the city shocked them all. Plumes of burning smoke could still be seen floating up into the air.

 

"My god, this is very terrible." Aquarius gasped.

 

She, who has the power of healing, can feel thousands of deaths coming from the direction of the city. This saddens her because even though the people of Dorothia were their enemies, the truth about Revioryx changes her former self-principles. Now, she just wants to help the people of Dorothia without thinking they were her enemies.

 

"Disperse and search if there are any survivors," Leo ordered them.

 

They all nodded to him and moved towards Luguom City. When they arrived, they were stunned to see the destruction there. The once tall and mighty palace was no longer there. The only thing that confused them was the absence of corpses in the area they passed.

 

"Stop! There's a sound..." Kironinx telepathy them and they stop their movement immediately.

 

He and Ziphoteninx were inside Rafiz's bracelet's mark. This was so that no one would scream 'monsters' at them or try to kill them which would be impossible. Presently, all of them went alert while looking around. 

 

"On our left, there seems to be some movement." Ziphoteninx frowned because he couldn't sense what it was.

 

Only the thing was a living being. They all slowly walked toward it quietly and were careful with their steps. They stopped again when they felt like they had entered a trap. 

 

A moment later, they were surrounded by several surviving Dorothia soldiers because the people around them were wearing Dorothia's black armour. They were surprised because the movements of their enemies were so silent that they were unaware of their presence. To some extent, they were impressed by their enemies' stealth movement.

 

"What is the meaning of this?! Why are you all here?! We have already stopped fighting with you!" A tall man with dark green hair barked at them.

 

"We don't welcome you here and the traitors!" 

 

He and his comrades glare at the Bright Star users. They were also standing in an attacking position. The traitors that he mentioned were Rafiz and Dark Hartina.

 

"We..." Dark Hartina wanted to speak up but stopped when he saw a Deorc Star user appear next to the man. 

 

The Deorc Star user was also a man and he had long silver hair with vertical red eyes like a snake. He wore damaged eyeglasses on his eyes. He doesn't wear any armour and only wears white robes for medical staff. 

 

Dark Hartina and Rafiz knew his identity while the rest recognized him as one of the Deorc Star users because he was wearing a dark emblem around his left shoulder.

 

"Calm down, Ledeigh. I don't think they came here to attack us." The Deorc Star user said gently to the man.

 

"But, General Dark Undria! They may intend to wipe us out after they know we have been betrayed by our king!" Another man spoke up. 

 

He hated these people.

 

"He is Dark Undria?! Isn't he dead?!" Cygnus was shocked because they thought he was dead.

 

"Who's dead?! You're the one who's dead!" The man feels that Cygnus was making fun of their general and got angrier.

 

"Now, now, Zacker. Don't kill anyone because they irritate you. They won't harm us… Right?" Dark Undria looks at Rafiz and the others while giving a smile.

 

"We are here in the order of our king to help you." 

 

Leo came forward. His fierce aura was enough to make the people surrounding them step back.

 

"Help us?! What kind of joke are you saying?! We won't accept help from our enemies!" Told a woman with contempt in her expression.

 

Dark Undria let out a sigh. He rolled his eyes at this group of maniac assassins. They have become so crazy since they were betrayed by their king. Some of them had their comrade killed by him and thus, these people became suspicious of anyone who wanted to help them. 

 

They have lost their trust and Dark Undria understood it too. Still, he walks to the middle between these assassins and the Bright Star users.

 

"General, what are you doing?! Get back here before they kill you!" The woman shrieked in fear of his safety.

 

"Are you going to kill me?" Dark Undria asked Leo calmly.

 

"No." 

 

Leo's short answer was enough for him and he turned his back toward Leo and faced his group. His action shows that he trusts Leo's words which startled everyone there.

 

"Listen here. We still have a lot of people who were injured in the war and those that were attacked by our king. Please, I beg you, we truly need more hands in handling these. We are lacking in medical staff and healers. And… I am very tired! I just survived a death moment and had to work myself to the bones after waking up! Do you think I am a machine like Dark Kage?! I. Am. A. Living. Being! And I need a rest too!" He sternly scolded these assassins.

 

He doesn't care about the shocked and surprised expression from the group behind him after he burst out like that. Even the assassin's expression turns very guilty. They couldn't talk back now that their general had made his complaints to them.

 

They knew he was tired but could never have imagined he would blow up right now in front of their enemies. They felt embarrassed by it. Dark Undria also has the image of a strong healer so they think he can still hold on. But it seems they were wrong…

 

"My power is going to be depleted soon. With my current situation, I can't possibly treat critical patients anymore. These people's help is much appreciated right now." 

 

Dark Undria turned back toward Leo and others. His expression looked very exhausted and weary. Truthfully, he wished he could lay down and sleep but he was unable to do that yet with everything going on. 

 

As for Rafiz and others, they can see his desperation for help. Moreover, he was willing to trust them to help their surviving people. In other words, his love for his people overcame his unwillingness to accept help from their enemies. And he rather makes peace with them instead of seeing his people dying.

 

"Please trust us. We are here to help you." Dark Hartina came forward to Dark Undria.

Dark Undria was relieved to hear that. "That's good..."

 

"Tsk! Everyone disperse!" Ledeigh, who has been silent for a long time, gave out his orders.

 

Instantly, one by one of the assassins step back and disappear into the shadows of the buildings and ruins behind them. They stared at the Bright Star users unwillingly but had to leave since Ledeigh, their leader, had made his order.

 

"Don't think that we won't watch you. If you do something suspicious toward our people, don't expect us to forgive you." 

 

Ledeigh warned them before he disappeared too, leaving only Dark Undria alone with Dark Hartina and others. However, this time, everyone can sense the assassin's presence. It looks like they deliberately did that so Dark Hartina and others were aware that they were supervised by them. Possibly they would stay like that the entire time until they leave Dorothia.

 

"Please ignore them and come with me. I'll show you the way to our hidden treatment camp." Dark Undria walked in the direction from where he had come before.

 

Rafiz and others follow after him. On their way...

 

"I thought you were dead. What happened here and how did you survive?" Dark Hartina asked Dark Undria as he walked behind the latter.

 

"Hm? Didn't I say I managed to survive? It was all thanks to my reserve healing ability. I would have died if it wasn't for it. Our king, no, Dark Revier, ambushed our medical building where I was doing my job healing our soldiers. I was buried under the buildings and had my body severed in many places. I thought I was going to die but then I remembered I kept some reserve healing power inside my emblem chain and used it at once." Dark Undria explained to him.

 

"I see. Then, how about Dark Markia? Is she… Dead…?"

 

"You... Why do you think that we died? Dark Markia has premonition abilities. Of course, she escaped once she saw it but I don't know where she went though. Dark Revier was so mad when he killed Dark Kage's creation that looked like her instead of her true self. Not just her, but everyone else too. I think Dark Kage was smart. Maybe he knew something was going to happen to us and invented robots like us which we can use to cheat on him..."

 

Dark Undria commented while feeling amazed by Dark Kage's invention. The robot actually saved some of their life!

 

Dark Hartina and everyone was stunned to hear it. Once again, they were awed by Dark Kage whose location was unknown.

 

Afterwards, Dark Hartina told Dark Undria about Revioryx's true identity, the kidnapping of the twelve Bright Star ancestors and his intention. He also recalled what happened in the war. Dark Undria was angry to hear it. He could have never thought Revioryx was so wicked and evil. Though, he can't be angry too much since the Deorc Star has followed his action of killing innocent people. So, they were in the same boat.

 

"So… Dark Chronos teamed up with Revioryx and kidnapped Dark Reammut? Where did they take her?" Dark Undria was worried about her too.

 

"We don't know. We still haven't found their trace."

 

"I see. I hope she is safe…"

 

"Erm… I want to ask you something." Cetus said to Dark Undria.

 

"What is it?"

 

"Where did you get your power from? You're not from our stellar family but still able to use the power from your emblem. Where did you get that emblem?" Cygnus wants to know.

 

"And how old are you? Because you still looked young like fifteen years ago when we first met." Rafiz asks too.

 

"Heh! Thanks for praising my youth, Dark Lordany. No, you no longer use that name. It's Lynx now." Dark Undria smirked at him. "And we have arrived."

 

They could now hear the noise from the hidden treatment camp. It was located inside a cave that led to the underground space. But before they went in, Dark Undria stopped them.

 

"Don't tell anyone anything I'm telling you right now. Actually, I'm not nearly the same age as you or a few years older than you. My actual age is 83 years old." 

 

Dark Undria winked at them and saw them go silent. A moment later some of them gaped at him.

 

"What?!" 

 

They yelled out because it was hard to believe it.

 

"I inherited my power from the first user of Dark Undria which was my great aunt. When she gave me her emblem power, she was nearly three hundred years old and died as soon as she gave me her power. The power allows us to stay younger. Just like my aunt, we also don't know where our power comes from. I have no information about it and don't dare to ask Revioryx about it. Still, our emblem power was retrieved from him." Dark Undria explained how he received his emblem chain.

 

"Then... You're… So, should we call you grandfather or something?" Eridanus' eyes twitch.

 

Dark Undria nodded with a small smile.

 

"But your power doesn't seem needed by Revioryx? If he wants to kill you all soon, why did he need someone with healing power?" Lyra was confused.

 

"It's just probably to ensure his people support and respect him as their king presumably." Cygnus shrugged.

 

"True. Truthfully, my power is not even important to him. That's why he never ordered me to participate in the war. He just sent me there as a physician to ensure his soldiers could be used in the future. Damn it! He played with our lives for a very long time. When we are no longer useful, he discards us like a doll." 

 

Dark Undria gritted his teeth with anger. Then, he sighs heavily and takes a deep breath. 

 

"Before you all enter our camp, make sure you don't show them any weapons or look at them with sympathy. They will look at you with hatred, but hopefully, you can be patient with them. The injured need attention but for some who are better, they might be inclined to attack you. Please be prepared."

 

"Don't worry, Dark Undria. We have long been ready to accept their insults because… Heh! We know all of them are arrogant to the bone." Dark Hartina smirks.

 

He was a former resident of Dorothia, of course, he knew how their people acted.

 

Dark Undria chuckled. "Thank you, everyone, for coming here to help us." 

 

He was a little overwhelmed by their help. After that, he took them into their treatment camp.
