Chapter 655 ( Melusine Underwater Ruins - XI )

Cloud waited a few more seconds when he saw that Meiru didn't say anything - "Did I touch a sensitive spot?"

"No, actually, we already knew that, it was Van-kun who told us."

"That's good to hear" - Cloud nodded as the two returned to the main point of the conversation - "I guess there's nothing I can do to help you."

"At least for now."

Cloud was silent for a few seconds as he remembered an important detail - "By the way, when we got to the labyrinth, we ran into modifications."

"Impossible, there's no way anyone can change the structure of a maze unless they touch the central core. External modifications, I can get past it, but to activate and core, it needs my genetic code, and I haven't had any offspring, in fact, I'm a complete virgin because of a trauma I had during my childhood"

Cloud frowned as he explained everything that had happened during their journey through the labyrinth.

"No, this doesn't make sense..."

"What do you mean?" - Cloud asked as he frowned.

"My memories shouldn't be appearing in the maze, in fact, nothing related to me should exist..."

"Then your security is not as foolproof as we weighed" - Cloud replied as he started to think - "And what about your sister?"

"Lost in space-time."

The answer was immediate.

"What if she made it out of her temporary prison?" - Cloud asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"It's possible that she could control the core of my labyrinth, after all, she was there when I started creating it..."

Cloud nodded when he heard this, though there was something that had him confused at this hypothesis - "By the way, is there any reason why she would wish to get in the way of your business?"

"I can't think of any, despite our bad start, we ended up being the closest people you could find."

"People change, more so when they spend so many years in solitude" - Cloud said calmly as he shook his head.

"It's possible, but I still think it's impossible for her to get into our mission, I osed her as her sister, after all, that girl is much more stubborn than me, not for nothing she followed me to the sea."

"Then possible she did it so you wouldn't wake up, maybe she knows you're alive, though weak" - Cloud mused while thinking of other possibilities - "Whatever the case, it's possible I'm just talking for the sake of talking and she's still locked up"

"Do you think she's still alive after all this time?"

"It's possible, after all, space-time is a hard thing to explain" - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "As long as you don't see otherwise, it's quite possible that she's still alive and one day they can be reunited."

"You're good at comforting women."

"I just know what to say and when to say it" - Cloud replied honestly.

"You sound like a danger to women, more so to those who are at their most vulnerable."

Cloud didn't respond, he just sat in silence as he waited for his female companions to appear.

"By the way, I have a question..."

"Tell it" - Cloud answered as he closed his eyes.

"Tell me, what do you think of this world?"

"Distorted" - Cloud answered honestly - "And because of humans."

"Please continue..."

"It's simple, the humans are being directly controlled by Ehit, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the demons the same" - Cloud replied with a frown.

"You're right, the demons are being controlled by their god, which is Ehit's right hand man."

"These two factors are causing humanity to fall under the backward mentality that they are the best thing that has existed since the beginning of creation" - Cloud continued with a frown because he had seen many people treating other species badly, the most harmed being the elves and the [Semi-Humans].

"I see..."

The two were silent for a few more minutes before they heard how someone else was coming into this room.

"Remind me to beat the crap out of that bastard when we have him in front of us" - Shea said with disgust and hatred.

"Relax, I think the same thing too..." - Shizuku said with a gloomy tone.

Cloud raised an eyebrow when he heard the voice of his female companions because they didn't seem in very good spirits - "What happened to them?"

"Cloud!" - The girls exclaimed as they ran to the blond and looked at him with concern.

Cloud stopped them dead in their tracks and asked them what had happened.

The girls looked at each other before Yue explained what they had seen.

Cloud's expression changed drastically as he turned away so they wouldn't see his face disfigured by the rage he was feeling.

It took a few minutes for him to manage to calm down, moments that the girls didn't bother him.

"Ok, I understand what happened" - Cloud replied as he took a breath and nodded in the direction of the girls - "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed it."

"Let's be honest, Cloud, it wouldn't have made a difference" - Yue replied as she shook her head.

"Maybe, but I would have liked to have been there so I could have supported them" - Cloud answered honestly.

"I think we'd better leave that topic for another time, now we have to focus on our current situation" - Tio said while looking at the blond, then looking around - "If I'm right, this should be Melusine-dono's room."

"So fast?" - Kaori asked in surprise because she didn't expect them to finish this maze so soon.

"Maybe the test wasn't the maze, but getting to it" - replied Shizuku as she thought about the possibility.

"That's a good way to look at it, and it's not that far from reality, although my labyrinth did have some tests, one of them was the sea angel that could dissolve magic..."

The girls' eyes widened in surprise when they heard this female voice.

"Melusine-dono?" - Tio asked curiously.

"Yes, my name is Meiru Melusine, the creator of this maze, it's a pleasure."

Yue walked towards the center curiously as she looked around in search of the woman who shared part of her race - "Are you alright?"

"Hmm, a member of the Avatarl royal family, it's been a while since I've seen anyone of our race, it's interesting that you're still alive after what happened."

"Please tell me what happened" - Yue said as she frowned - "I'm sure you know what I mean"

"I'm sorry, but my information is reduced to almost nil, I only possess small fragments of what happened thanks to my affinity with the sea creatures that miraculously managed to reach this area full of dangers."

She knew about all the general details of the fall of the vampire empire, though there was something that continued to haunt her, and that was none other than the fate of her uncle, the person who had locked her away in [Orcus] to protect her.

"Honestly, you should have asked Oscar about these details, after all, I only know a few small general details that I'm sure you already know."

Yue nodded, though she didn't know why she had asked this person about the fate of her people, when it was obvious that she shouldn't know anything about it. Perhaps it was because she was still clinging to the slightest possibility, though she quickly shook her head and returned to the others.

"Anyway, I've been talking to you guys too long already, so I have to go back and rest until it's time. You know what you have to do, simply place your hands on the sphere in the center and you will receive my magic, good luck on your adventure."

Cloud watched as a small compartment opened just below the sphere, showing the symbol of conquering this great labyrinth.

"Ok, let's get started, we still have a lot to do" - Cloud said as he watched everyone put their hand on the sphere and receive the new magic.

[Congratulations, you've gotten the magic "Restoration"...]

[Restoration: Allows the user to return everything to its original form, interfering with living things takes a larger amount of mana to be effective, and this amount increases depending on the strength of the target].

[Restoration allows to interfere directly with the target's time, so it is recommended to use with discretion with living beings].

Cloud was silent before nodding at the sight of his new ability, though he was surprised to see that his new magic was an application of temporal magic, though the description made sense.

"[Restoration] acquired, interesting ability" - muttered Shizuku as she took her sword that was slightly damaged from all the battles she had had, and used her magic to check its power.

The girls watched this with curiosity, until they noticed how the sword seemed to recover at an accelerated speed, to the point that after a few seconds it looked as if it was brand new.

Shizuku nodded with a smile before feeling her whole body paralyze from lack of mana.

Kaori quickly ran to her friend and checked her condition, only to let out a sigh of relief when she saw how she was just tired.

"That's what happens for trying to test an ancient magic without knowing the magical requirement that asks to employ it" - sighed Yue as she shook her head at her companion's crazy actions
