Chapter 354 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Final Struggle 4

"Everyone praised me at that time but I didn’t know everything is a lie..." Curdova said as the ground started to shake heavily.

Boom!

Huge cracks spread out in the entire tower.

"What’s happening?!" Alice said as she looked around.

"I think that thing is going to awaken..." Souta said in a grave tone while looking at the huge metallic figure that was familiar to him in the game.

"How could we stop it?!" Lumilia asked while looking concerned about Cl.u.s.ter.

"I don’t know..." He shook his head. From his memories of the game, this metallic figure was so powerful that it could wipe out a single city in an instant. None of them was its match.

Cl.u.s.ter who was in the hands of the metallic figure disappeared. At the same time, the eyes of the figure gleamed brightly as if life comes to it. Its huge body shook and a wave of energy swept out.

Boom!

The wall of the tower was blown away and the barrier expanded pushing the two nuns away.

The amount of mana in the atmosphere was unbelievable. It was even pushing the best feram that Yuko was emitting.

"The tower is going to collapse... We need to get out of this place as soon as possible..." Alice said to her comrades.

"But what about Cl.u.s.ter...?" Lynn asked worriedly.

Lumilia looked at her and Brando before she said, "Brando, Lynn, go down and help Yujin. Yujin couldn’t walk so if this tower collapsed he will be buried alive in this place."

"What about you guys?" Brando asked in return while looking at them.

"Don’t worry about us. Our condition is better than Yujin plus we’ll think of a way to stop that thing and save Cl.u.s.ter." Lumilia said unsurely. She had a feeling that they couldn’t rescue Cl.u.s.ter. That thing was unbelievably powerful.

"Okay, I understand. I’ll leave it to you." Brando nodded and he said to Lynn, "Let’s go and help Yujin first."

"Okay," Lynn said.

The two quickly go down to the floor below to help one of their comrades.

...

"Just what the hell is that thing, Yuni?" The smaller nun muttered while looking at the huge metallic figure.

"I don’t have any idea too, Safi. That thing fused with Cl.u.s.ter and it possessed the power of the Thousand Spell. How could the church not know of this thing?" The taller nun, whose name was Yuni, said in amazement.

"I’ll report this to the higher-ups first." The smaller nun, Safi, said as she took out a transmission talisman in her pocket.

"If they could control this thing the higher-ups will not separate Cl.u.s.ter from this thing," Yuni muttered while looking down.

"I have a feeling that will be the case... They didn’t see Cl.u.s.ter as a child instead a weapon for their own benefits." Safi said as she poured her mana in the talisman.

...

Boom!

Curdova simply looked at this thing before he muttered, "It’s still didn’t fully control the Thousand Spell. Once it controlled it then everything will end."

The barrier around the tower once again grew larger. It blew everything inside the city and the same could be said for the two nuns.

The two nuns were outside of the city while contacting their higher-ups about what happening here.

The entire city was wiped out except for the Moon Tower. It was an unbelievable scene and countless people died on the ground except for a few strong people.

Boom!

"Souta, what should we do?" Alice asked Souta while squinting her eyes. They couldn’t get close to the metallic figure as a large amount of mana was pushing them away from it.

"Let’s observe it for the time being and see if there’s something we could do about it," Souta said as he took a step back.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed... The mana in the air got thinner as it was getting suck by the metallic figure.

After a few seconds, all of Cl.u.s.ter’s mana disappeared as if nothing happened. The barrier that devastated the city also vanished into thin air.

"What’s happening...?" Souta muttered as he looked at the metallic figure. The atmosphere just went back to normal before the chaos in this city.

The magic circle on the ground emitted a light and mana burst out of it. The metallic figure stood above the magic circle. The feet of the figure slowly sunk down on the magic circle.

"This is..." Lumilia narrowed her eyes when she saw this.

Alice recognized it and she said, "Cl.u.s.ter still have awareness... She’s now trying to seal the object along with her."

"What?!" Lumilia was shocked as she opened her eyes widely. She couldn’t believe what she just heard.

"She must be doing this because she wanted to protect us..." Souta said while looking at it.

Then... They heard Cl.u.s.ter’s voice from the figure.

"I’m sorry everyone... I hide a lot of things from you..."

"That’s nothing from us... There are no people that didn’t have a secret..." Lumilia said in a loud voice.

Souta and Alice nodded at her words. She was right. Everyone has a secret that they don’t want others to know.

Ohm!

Lumilia tilted her head in confusion as she slowly grabbed the sphere that was floating in front of her. She didn’t understand what’s this sphere for.

Before she could ask Cl.u.s.ter about it, she saw the figure completely sunk on the magic circle.

"CL.U.S.TER!!!"

Lumilia shouted at the top of her lungs. She knew that Cl.u.s.ter couldn’t hear her anymore but she still has some hope that Cl.u.s.ter will reply.

"She’s gone..." Souta said as he looked down.

Now that the caster disappeared, the whole place that was caused by the [Rising of the Earth Domain] spell will disappear too.

Boom!!

The whole tower started to shake heavy and it slowly crumbled down. Debris of rocks fell on the ground causing the dust to shot up in the mid-air.

"Let’s go..." Alice said as she grabbed Lumilia before she jumped away.

Souta floated in the mid-air and he slowly descended using the power of gravity of his [Gravitational Ball] spell.

Boom!

...

Brando, Lynn, and Yujin weren’t in the tower when it collapsed. They already escaped the place and were looking at it hoping that everything will go well.

"The enormous mana in the atmosphere disappeared..." Brando said while observing the destroyed tower.

"Yes, but I couldn’t sense Cl.u.s.ter’s presence anymore. It vanished along with the mana." Lynn said worriedly.

"Just trust our leader and the rest there... I’m sure that they will not let Cl.u.s.ter disappear just like that." Yujin said to them.

...

Yuni and Safi who were outside of the city raised their eyebrows. They saw that Cl.u.s.ter sealed herself with the figure to prevent it from rampaging around.

"Did she really have to do it? That figure wouldn’t be able to kill everyone with us here." Safi, the smaller nun, said as she slightly tilted her head.

"That certainly the case but that figure hasn’t fully integrated with Cl.u.s.ter so it’s weak. If it gained control of the Thousand Spell, then even with our powers we couldn’t stop it." Yuni paused for a moment before she continued, "Also, Cl.u.s.ter found some friends this time and she wanted to protect them."

"Oh, I see... We should go back now." Safi said.

"Let’s wait here for a while. Also, that man said that he wanted to talk to me." Yuni said to her with a smile.

...

Smoke and dust filled the surrounding...

"Cl.u.s.ter..." Lumilia muttered as she clutched the blueish sphere in her c.h.e.s.t.

Alice patted her shoulder and said, "She left it to you. If that thing got broken it will free Cl.u.s.ter along with that giant figure."

She could understand why Cl.u.s.ter sacrificed herself. She simply didn’t want to create havoc and caused destruction in this world. That figure was going to use her power to rampage around so she decided it for herself.

"This thing..." Lumilia looked closely at the blueish sphere.

"Yes, that’s Cl.u.s.ter’s momento..." Alice said to her as she glanced at Souta.

Souta’s eyes were closed. Beside him was Yuko who was looking around with a curious expression.

After a while, Souta slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

"What you want to do..."

He already finished every quest here and had nothing to do with it. But was he really satisfied with this ending? The ending that Cl.u.s.ter is gone?

He felt something in his c.h.e.s.t. Like a hole. They came here because they wanted to rescue Cl.u.s.ter.

He slowly moved his body and turned to Lumilia.

Lumilia felt his gaze on her body so she turned around and saw him looking at her with a serious expression.

"Souta?"

She called him but he didn’t answer and kept looking at her. She was surprised for a moment but she realized what Souta wanted to do. She took a deep breath and she nodded her head.

The vajra sword emitted a red energy and Souta swung it.

Swoosh!

The blueish sphere was split into two. It then crumbled down.
