Limbo! (5)
…
After hearing this, Drahoz start trembles with fear while tears of despair cover his face
Watching this scene, Icarus makes a strange face and thinks
'Hmm, okay… where the fuck is the Impartiality? I've never seen a judgement before, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works!
You know what… fuck it! I don't know why I'm worried about that!
I should just celebrate! Yeah, I will do just that! Yeap! Drahoz go fuck yourself!'
While Icarus is thinking about useless things, Sakdal looks at the being who is kneeling in front of her and says
"Let's start! First, your memories!"
She points her finger at Drahoz, and a light comes out of his head.
Then his eyes become lifeless, and he stops moving
"Done! With that, he no longer remembers anything and is ready to go to Skarseld!"
Sakdal looks kindly towards the thousands of souls and says
"Now I am going to send you to the reincarnation cycle!"
Sakdal snaps his fingers and all souls begin to shine
After a few seconds, all souls disappear, leaving only her, Icarus and Drahoz.
Icarus looks curiously at Drahoz's face and asks
"Why did he stop moving?"
"Oh, this? Well, when I was extracting his memories, I put a 'lock' that prevents him from doing anything! This 'lock' will only be opened when he leaves Limbo. Only then he will can think and move again!"
Sakdal replies while looking at Drahoz who shows no signs of movement.
"I see! However, I still think this is very unfair"
"Unfair? What? My verdict?"
She asks as she narrows her eyes and looks at Icarus with an icy expression.
Under Sakdal's gaze, Icarus freezes for a few seconds, but quickly recovers and responds
"What?! Of course not! What I think is unfair is that he has a body that is practically a killing machine!"
"Oh!"
"This simple fact already destroys the whole sense of punishment! After all, he just needs to kill everything that gets in his way!"
Icarus replies uncomfortably, while frowning and taking a step back
'That pressure now... was her?
Damn, that was intense! I never felt anything like this before, even during that time!
This shows that her strength is in a completely different level!'
Realizing the discomfort of Icarus, she responds ashamed
"Ahem... I'm sorry for that! I was a little irritated!"
'Oops! I ended up releasing some of my aura! However, even then it just froze for a few seconds… How big is his willpower?
This shouldn't be something that a mortal should endure so easily! After all, what the hell happened to him in his childhood?
What is capable of shaping such a monstrous willpower?
I want to know so badly, what happened to him!
I'm sure he wouldn't mind telling me… However, it would be strange to bring this subject back!
Besides, that would just show him, that I'm very curious, and that would break the image of cool Goddess, which I just built!
Arghh… I have never been so frustrated with having so little information!'
After staring at Icarus for a few seconds, she comes out of a trance sigh and say
"Sigh! This isn't unfair at all! After all, at the level he is, he can only hunt and kill the weakest beings in that world! Eventually he will end up meeting stronger beings and when that happens... well, it's game over for him!"
"Oh really? Is it that hard to live in Skarseld?"
"Yes, it is a very dangerous world!"
"I see!"
After Icarus says this, the two are silent, and then Sakdal rises from her throne, stretches and says
"Well, it took me too long to send you! Usually I just do my explanations, and answer a few of your questions and soon after that I send the souls to the cycle of reincarnation! However, this time I didn't expect to make a Judgment! In addition, for some reason it seems like you keep asking questions to distract me"
"Oh, really? I didn't even notice it!"
Icarus responds with a straight face, and Sakdal narrows her eyes and looks at him suspiciously.
The two are silent as they face each other.
After almost a minute, Sakdal looks at him with a smile and says
"Well, you don't seem to be lying… So, I must be overthinking!"
"Yes I agree!"
'Damn, what a scary intuition! Well, in the end, I still managed to delay the inevitable for a few minutes!
Sigh! Being honest, I don't want to reincarnate! Why? Is simple, this seriously looks like a pain in the ass!
You know, I thought when you died it was like
<Congratulations you died! That's it, it's over!>
Even so, I was wrong! What she is telling me is basically
<Congratulations on having a cool death in that hellish game! As a reward, you have the opportunity to play again, but this time on a new map!>
To hell with that! It's nice to read stories about people who go to another world and build their own harem or something like that.
Come on, this is only cool to read!
After all, I don't want pass my days being forced to work hard to become stronger, just to survive!
Well, maybe I might be overreacting and it might actually be fun. However, that is not the point here! What bothers me in this situation is this Protagonist halo! Me... the protagonist? Is that a joke?
Come on, that role doesn't match my personality at all!
I fit more into the role of one of these arrogant young masters!
That at the beginning of the story humiliates the protagonist when he is still weak.
As a consequence of this stupid action, when the protagonist gets stronger, he comes back to take revenge and the young master and his whole family are annihilated!
Okay, maybe I was too specific!
Besides, if it were me, I would at least confirm with my own eyes that the protagonist is really dead!
That way, I wouldn't have to worry about a future revenge!
Come on, I'm not stupid!
Oops, I ended up getting off topic!
Anyway, to solve this problem I could just say to her "Hey Sakdal, thanks for the opportunity, I really appreciate your intentions! But I will pass!"
Something quite simple, right?
That's what I thought at first, but I can't do that!
I can't do that, because for some reason, my survival instinct is telling me that my life will be in danger if I do that!
This is very strange, after all... I'm already dead!'
"Hey, are you okay?"
