Chapter 1377: Horizon Particle
Chapter 1377: Horizon Particle
Horizon Particle.
An Ability Felicia created by combining the Divine versions of Synthesis, Shape Forge, and Geomancy.
By using Geomancy to control space as an element, then Shape Forge to shape it as a sphere, and Synthesis to synthetize it with itself ten times over.
She created an incredibly condensed, yet extremely small space of its own.
A particle of her own creation.
Because it had no end and no beginning, this technique was given such a name.
Horizon Particle!
"Watch as the beginning and the end of all things greet you, true demon duke Allocer!" Felicia smiled. "Be honored, this is the first time I use this on a foe."
"W-Wha... a sphere of...?"
As Allocer faced the tiny sphere, his eyes opened wide.
And...
BOOOMMM!!!
The tiny sphere of blue light "opened", becoming titanic in size, and engulfing him completely. Allocer's single eye saw something.
A beautiful spectacle, before his death.
He saw the beginning of a horizon, of an endless surge of space.
It stretched infinitely, endlessly.
Limitlessly.
"What... is this?"
His single eye started crying.
He was moved by the beauty of creation.
TRUUUM!
And before he knew it...
He was a single eye falling from the skies, the rest of his body torn to shreds and completely destroyed.
"A-Ah... And this is... a mortal?!"
His consciousness faded away with his soul.
But for that very last moment, his eye saw Felicia.
Her eyes turned gold, and then blue.
"A Limitless Mortal... just like that... red-haired... brat..."
Shining with the bright light of the Horizon he saw.
"But someone that... actually developed her power for hundreds of years..."
His soul slowly grew weaker and weaker.
Until his consciousness almost completely shut down.
"Hah, foolish gods... you've created your worst enemy..."
Sylphy and Allan glanced at the scene happen, it was so fast, yet so slow.
They didn't see it like Allocer did, but they saw a glimpse of its beauty.
"Felicia... just how strong are you?" Allan asked with a serious expression.
Felicia could only smile back at her friend.
"I'm not that strong! I just was lucky you softened him for me! My technique would have been easily tanked otherwise if you didn't soften him a lot."
"Hahh... she's lying, huh?" Sylphy sighed, feeling exhausted.
"M-My disciple! How could you say such a thing?! I am not lying!" cried Felicia. "Anyways, it seems things have finally settled down, hm?"
"Did they?" Sylphy muttered, feeling all dizzy. "What about the- Ah!"
Suddenly, Sylphy felt like she regained control of her entire dungeon again, the space that was being corrupted by the Evil God of Dungeons went back to her, and the demonic miasma left behind was rapidly being cleansed by the dungeon automatically.
"Yes... finally..." she sighed in relief. "It's finally over..."
Sylphy, her father, and Felicia descended from the skies, although Allan still felt uneasy about how much Felicia hid her abilities.
And a thought began pestering his mind.
"If she had not hidden this strength... Would our friends not have died?"
The friends they lost because they weren't strong enough, the battle against the demon king.
Everything...
If Felicia had used such power against these many threats, could these tragedies have been prevented?
It was mostly all left to the imagination, to a thought, perhaps to a simple "What If", but at the end, Allan couldn't help but think this way.
He was shocked and amazed about her strengths, but also... he felt slightly betrayed because she never truly showed what she was capable of.
"No, I shouldn't think like that..."
Although he started thinking like that, he quickly decided to cut it off.
"I can't just blame her for that, Felicia fought alongside us, struggled... she's a companion. Whatever strength she had hidden, that doesn't change the fact she's my friend."
He sighed, patting Felicia's shoulder.
"Thank you for helping my daughter and all of this... it really means a lot."
"Oh?"
Felicia blushed a bit as she saw Allan's sincere smile.
"T-That's what a master should do for her apprentice! There's nothing worth mentioning or
praising, Allan... But you're welcome."
Although it was nothing but a reminiscing feeling now, she had once loved him too.
Even though she was never able to be with him, Faylen did, and this child in front of her was
the result of their love.
"Because I once loved you, I'll make sure to teach your daughter well, Allan..."
Despite how strong she was, and despite how she saw the world since birth.
These feelings she had...
Or that perhaps still linger a bit.
They were genuine.
And part of the journey with her friends and Allan was what also changed her life a bit.
Even if a bit, this little bit created ripples, slowly making her open her closed heart.
She was once a hermit and would have never guessed she would go on such an epic journey
and make so many friends.
And even after years since then, she had once more met her friend, and his daughter.
"Life is truly full of surprises..."
As she looked at the horizon of the dungeon's skies, she sighed.
"Everyoneeee!"
Sylphy flew towards her friends, hugging Celica and Celeste who were resting outside of Eden
over the grasslands.
"Sylphy! You're back!"
"Hah, finally, is it done already?"
Celica received Sylphy's hug happily, kissing her cheek the same way Sylphy did.
However, Celeste didn't even bother standing up, still resting over the grass.
"Heh, yeah! All done! That guy was sure... a pain in the as though, ugh..." groaned Sylphy. "Well! Another anecdote to tell to Aquarina and our friends once we're back together, right?"
"Yeeeah... More like you're about to get grounded, what the hell was all of this?!" Celeste roared angrily, standing up. "Everything ended becoming worse, and worse, and then even worse! Sylphy! You'll have to pay me a lot of money for this!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Eeeh?! Money?!" Sylphy panicked. "B-But why? I thought we were besties and besties do
stuff for one another, heheh..."
"Don't "heheh" me! This was totally a lot of work, and I almost died a couple of times!"
Celeste sighed. "A-And... Dammit, Sylphy, I was worried!"
Then, she hugged Sylphy, very tightly.
"Don't do dumb things like this ever again, okay?"
"Celeste..."
Sylphy felt a bit surprised how she changed out of nowhere.
"I guess this is how she truly felt..."
She smiled lightly, nodding, and kissing her friend's forehead.
"Okay! Promise!"
Her cute smile made Celeste's heart skip a beat.
She quickly looked elsewhere, sighing.
"I don't know if I can even trust that promise again..." she sighed. "But fineee... you're still
paying me a bit. Let's consider this mercenary work!"
"Eeeeh! So greedy!" Sylphy complained, pouting adorably. "Hey, where are you going!"
Sylphy started chasing Celeste who ran away because Sylphy was just too cute up close.
"Ah! Goddess Sylphy! Over here!"
"Oi! Come here already!"
And then, Sylphy was called by the voice of Selene and Ivy.
"Right!" Sylphy quickly ran across the grasslands, her friends following her as they greeted the
Arboren.
She looked at the city, and the enormous tree resting in the middle of it all.
"Whew... Selene, you've truly gotten bigger now!"
"Hahahah... Technically, it is part of my body and not... somewhat!" Selene giggled.
"I know there's a lot we need to talk but... I think we should tell the citizens about Bark's
passing..." Ivy commented.
"Right... Let's do that."
