BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307 - Choice
The recoil of Destiny wasn't something trivial, the state of mind of the young man becomes greatly compromitted after each use, it was like Russian roulette, depending on what he chose, he could become a real lunatic.
"That should be the cane, right?" Said the young man while looking at a black cane with a golden handle.
"Yeah, that should be it, there isn't any other cane here anyway" Said Clara.
"Fascinating! This cane seems to be kind of special, I don't know how though" Said Mengele.
"Let's get it and get the hell out of here, we still have to meet with… god" Said the young man.
"…Sure…" Said Clara.
The trio grabbed the cane and when out of the room, however, just as they went out, the sound of steps stopped their tracks.
"Another enemy?" Asked Mengele.
Clara sniffed around and made a sound of relief.
"No, it's god" Said Clara.
As Clara said, two silhouettes could be seemed on the distance.
A man and a woman.
The curious thing was that the woman was supporting the young man with one hand.
"Slow down, I am not use to walking like this" Said the man.
"Is that an order?" Asked the woman.
Alfonso had a headache.
Is was already bad that his leg was hurting like hell, however, now, he couldn't see. This didn't mean that he was completely blind, if he activated his soul power, he could distinct figures and, in fact, see more than people could see, however, consuming his soul power would eventually let to exhausting it and not be ready to any kind of danger, furthermore, he got physically exhausted every time he used his soul power, so, unless he had to fight, he liked to avoid using his soul power.
That's why, he had Selene helping him, of course, this robber demanded soul power for helping him, however, compared with the one he would need to use if he walked on his own, it was still better let her help him.
"God!" Shouted the trio.
"Oh, it's you three?" Asked Alfonso.
In an instant, the trio sense that something was different about god, for instance, he didn't have that creepy smile on him. Also, his aura seemed more… calm and serene, instead of the chaotic and murderous aura from before.
"I had a small problem and I am currently not able to see, Clara, sorry, but can you help me?" Asked Alfonso.
"Please?" Though the trio.
"Since when did this narcissistic said please?" Though the young man.
Although the young man could see destiny, he couldn't see everything, he wasn't a god after all, so, he didn't know that Alfonso had a child with dangerous powers and an unstable mind inside of him.
"Sure" Said Clara.
Clara grabbed Alfonso and gently helped him.
"Thanks" Said Alfonso.
"S-sure…" Said Clara with her mosquito-like voice.
"Now that we are reunited, there are three things that you three need to decide" Said Alfonso.
"But first, let me introduce someone to you, her name is Selene, she is a… companion that I found along the way, however, she doesn't speak too much, so don't bother too much with her" Said Alfonso while introducing Selene.
The trio looked at the clothed person in front of him.
Alfonso felt uncomfortable seeing the face of Artemis, so he asked her If she minded hiding her face.
Of course, what she answered was
"Is that an order?"
"This girl really doesn't miss any opportunity" Though Alfonso.
"Now, back to the topic, the first thing I want to talk about is, how do we get out of here" Asked Alfonso.
"Mengele, you are the person with more freedom here, you should know an exit, right?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yes, I know one! It is just a few minutes away from here" Said Mengele.
"Good, let's go there" Said Alfonso.
The group walked to the exit, in fact, they got there after ten minutes because Alfonso walked too slowly, of course, it wasn't that he wanted to walk slowly, it was just that he hasn't get used to walk in darkness, not yet at least.
When the group got to the exit, Alfonso spoke.
"Now, the second thing I wanted to talk about was, what are you guys going to do?" Asked Alfonso.
The trio though for some seconds.
"I… don't know… I don't have a place to go back…" Said Clara.
"…" The young man didn't answer.
"I want to follow the fascinating subject!" Said Mengele while looking at Alfonso and the young man.
Both shivered a little with his gaze.
"That was the third thing I wanted to talk, if you three want, you can follow me back to my village" Said Alfonso.
"You are a lord?" Asked the young man.
"That's right, I am the lord of Wasteland Valley" Said Alfonso.
"…" The young man didn't say anything else and just nodded.
"I…I…I will like… to go… as well…" Said Clara.
"Okay, let's go then, we must hurry, I don't think that all the commotion we did go without notice" Said Alfonso.
"You are correct, Alfonso Lockheart"
Suddenly, a voice appeared, Alfonso and the group turned around to look at a group of men lead by an acquaintance of Alfonso.
"Alister?" Said Alfonso.
Alister noticed the eyes of Alfonso closed.
"What happened to your eyes? Don't tell me that you are now blind?" Said Alister with joy on his voice.
Alfonso didn't answer.
"This makes things easier, Alfonso Lockheart, I need you to come with me, now" Said Alister.
"I am afraid that I still have things to do" Said Alfonso.
"I am also afraid that I am not asking you" Said Alister.
"Believe me, if It was in my hands, I will kill you right now, don't think that I have forgotten" Said Alister while touching his cheek.
"Every time I see your face, this starts to hurt" Said Alister with anger.
"This is troublesome" Though Alfonso.
"Then Alfonso Lockheart, what is your choice?" Asked Alister.
