Chapter 131: Chapter 130: The Story of Lilyana Creater 8
It felt like something was blocking me from within, something I couldn't penetrate no matter how hard I forced myself.
"If only this thing had a way to move on its own, wouldn't that make things easier?" Natsuki murmured, her tone sounding more like a complaint than a suggestion. But at that moment, something inside me was triggered, a flash of hope amidst the darkness.
A way to make the Aura Energy move on its own? Yes! That's it! The thought hit me so hard that I could hardly believe it. Could it be... could it be that I just needed to let the Aura Energy flow on its own instead of forcing it?
"You're a genius, Natsuki!" I shouted, before realizing my body had already moved on its own to hug her tightly. It felt strange, as if I were holding onto something fragile and uncertain. I knew Natsuki was confused, but I didn't care. I had to try this.
Carefully, I began to imagine something I had never thought of before... creating a pathway, or a pipe, that would channel the Aura Energy throughout my body. I started from my head, tracing down my neck, chest, and then spreading to both shoulders. I could feel my heartbeat, unstable, as if waiting for this to fail again.
When I finally tried to let the Aura Energy flow, I could hardly believe it when I felt its gentle movement. Slowly but surely, the energy began to flow through my body. I did it! I succeeded!
But then, a loud sound erupted, so intense. What? What was happening? What was that noise?
The sound of a scream echoed from within the cave corridor, making my heart stop for a moment. The others and I rushed toward the corridor, a feeling of anxiety creeping down my spine.
"What happened?!" I asked, my voice nearly breaking with pressing worry. But even though I wanted to know, a part of me was afraid of the answer I might receive.
"Don't come closer! You'll only disturb it!" Haruto shouted loudly, and his voice cut through the air like a sword. Haruto's command was so sharp that I fell silent, feeling small and powerless.
The fear was not just for Bellina, who might be in danger, but more than that, I felt something dark lurking around Haruto. I felt worried for Haruto, more than I could understand.
Natsuki, with a face full of concern, tried to seek reassurance. I knew Natsuki was just as anxious as I was, if not more so.
"Calm down, Natsuki," I said, trying to provide a confidence I didn't even possess. "We have to trust Haruto... Haruto knows what he's doing." But every word felt hollow, as if I were only trying to calm myself.
Patrick then spoke, saying that a strong wind was beginning to blow around Bellina's body. Patrick's words brought an even greater sense of anxiety within me. What if this was worse than we thought? What if Haruto couldn't control it?
Natsuki asked again, her tone filled with confusion and nearly uncontrollable fear.
"I think... this might be because the Aura Core that Bellina has is special?" I replied, my voice sounding hesitant and uncertain. I hated hearing myself like this, so weak and clueless.
Patrick tried to explain to Natsuki, but all the explanations sounded like distant noise, muffled by the waves of thoughts swirling in my head.
It felt like this world was too heavy to bear, like something was pressing down in my chest, making every breath a burden.
Then the wind began to die down, but it wasn't a sense of calm that I felt... rather, a greater fear.
"Is it over?" Patrick asked, but before anyone could answer, Haruto was violently thrown against the wall. His body hit with a horrifying sound, and I felt the entire world collapse around me.
