34. Rena Hani

There is something strange in this world. 'This hour(Time Fracture), why does it exist?'

'And why only we, the girl that can see this?'

'There must be a reason behind this!'

'Search... That's what I've been doing for days.'

'But nothing came into my mind.'

'My head seemed to reject the information I just got.'

'Why is this happening? This shouldn't be a difficult thing.'

'Why, I can't find one...'

'... The reason.'

The girl continued to search endlessly. She never gave up to try to find that answer. Although every day she only across to nonsense. She never stops. Giving up is just for losers.

'Rena, what are you looking for?'

'It's nothing... It's just a book.'

The girl can't say it. What she's looking for right now, she'd better hide it from the other. From the behavior of the Valkyries and Justiciar, she estimates that their mind was both sealed. So the probability that the goddess will be angry to her is very high.

'It is rare to find you touch the book, what is happening?' Said her friend while looking at the pile of books that the girl had brought.

'It is more rare to find you here(make a hilarious face), Tania. What are you doing in this place? It is really not your style...'

'Why, am I here? Maybe because I just like it.'

'Do you like it, here, this library? What kind of bookworm's ghost that have possessed you...?'

'Same for you...'

'Why you ask me back?'

A slight crack appears between them. But because of the power of friendship, things like this are nothing for them.

'Hahaha, funny, huh? Take it easy, I'm here just to borrow a novel for a homework.'

'Ah... At last, you say it, it will become more straightforward if you just say it from the start...'

'Then, what are you doing here? Watching you here are more stupid than find a man wear an embarrassing hoodie'

Hearing the question, the girl fell silent. She didn't know what to say. A lie would be the only thing she could do right now.

'Guess which class got class by Mr. Wardoyo?'

Her friend immediately looked pale. She seemed to understand what kind of the teacher Mr. Wardoyo was.

'Ah... So that's teacher, huh?' Her friend makes a sympathetic face. 'When I was taught by that teacher, Even horror film is not scary as him. All of my friend in the class become a statue because they are so scared!'

'Eh, is it real?' The girl was horrified when she heard about her friend's experience.

'Calm down, if you, Rena has a problem. Just call me, Tania! I will definitely come to help!'

'That sucks...'

'Never mind, I don't have time for that. I have to finish this Novel and make a summary! Bye, bye!'

'Bye…!' The girl waved at her friend.

'Now it's time to get back to the main goal!'

About 3 hours, she continues to read and flip the book. The girl finally found what she was looking for, the name of Apate, she finally found it.

'This is the one I'm looking for. My rebellion has finally begun!'

'All your atrocities will be exposed! Sooner or later, I had to destroy it immediately...'

It sounds bold and stupid at the same time. Bold because she tried to save the world properly. Stupid because she tried to fight the one who gave her the power.

------

When fight against Jormungandr, In the middle of the three-way junction.

CRASH!

Tania's body blew off by sweep of the snake's tail.

'Tania!' the girl shouted at her friend.

There is a strange feeling at this time. Inside her, she seemed to want to crush and destroy the snake. The girl's emotions are passionate. Her eyes, which are usually welded, are immediately opened wide.

'Damn you!' By pointing her spear at the monster. The girl did a charge attack.

She hoped by just that little spear, she could defeat it easily.

However...

CRACK!

Just by the butt of the snake's head. The girl was forced to use her spear as a brace pole to hold the upcoming monster's chin.

If she does not immediately move from there by leaving her spear. She will be surely pressed by that head.

'Why am I getting weaker? Isn't my dark power supposed to work for these kinds of situation?'

Boom!

The snake's chin hit the road and smashed the spear that the girl was using as a pillar.

Now no one can help her. She had only one option, run.

But by choosing that choice, the girl means showing that she is nothing without the goddess's power.

'I'm not like that! I'm not like that! I'm not like that!' She strongly rejected the goddess's power.

'Thou turned that deceitful Goddess down, didn't thou? Then, why don't thou join me instead... To thy real owner?' A voice rang out of nowhere inside the girl's head.

The girl's eyes continued to looking around, but nothing she got.

But this is not the right time to worry about that.

Because....

'ZARK FLAMEZ BREAZTH!'

Jormungandr was still behind her and opened its mouth wide.

'Shit!'

The girl had to run away.

Tack! Tack! Tack!

She runs in panic, every step she does was look so fast and frightened.

In a sudden, it happened again. The sound...

'Thou want powers that aren't from that goddess, right?'

'If thou want it, then thou can have it.'

'But there is condition to fulfill, thou have to sacrifice thy friend to me!'

The whisper continued to incite the girl who still running.

'No! No way!' She refused hardly.

No matter how far the girl goes. The whisper continued to accompany her panic and lonely ears.

'Why, is not that thou want to get it over with?'

'It only takes one sacrifice.'

'And I will give thee the power of darkness that I have given thee as before.'

The offer given by the echoes of the voice sounded terrifying, but at the same time. The offer is also very tempting.

'If I do that, can I save them, right?' The girl began slow her step and stopped running.

'Yes, while thou sacrifice thy friend! Then I can renew the contract and help thee to get rid of that Goddess!' The seduction of the voice was all the more temptalizing.

The girl walking by herself toward her unconscious friend. Slowly but surely, she will be in front of her.

'As a first gift, take this!' The voice gave a black and majestic lance to the girl. 'Use this to stab thy friend!'

Her hand immediately grasped the hilt of her newly get lance.

'Do it! For thy world peace!'

She has been taken full control by the mysterious sound. The girl will follow all of the sound order.

She pointed her lance to her fainted friend by just using her right hand. It pointed right in the front of her friend's heart.

"For World Peace!' (Rena)

SPLASH!

SQUIRT!

The lance pierced her friend's poor body right through her heart.

Shortly after that...

A wave of ice flowed by circling around the Black Spear. The wave continued to circle the lance that was still stuck into the opened part of the dead body.

Something will happen to her friend.

Her lifeless friend's body was moved and opening her eyes.

'This is will become my first step of my reborn, my glory will also begin!' She spoke as she checked at her new body.

When she satisfied with her new body, the girl's eyes looked closely at her own hands and feet.

Rena stared in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Her friend is no longer there. She has now been replaced by someone else. And even the entity that took over her body at this time was a very dangerous entity.

'You... was that voice?'

'Yes, I am her, and my name is Goddess-'

Unfortunately someone is coming and disturb their conversation.

'Rena?!'

Unexpected events have happens, Hannah who is one of the members Justiciar catches clearly Rena has stabbing Tania's body.

Her disbelief grew even more after seeing that her pierced friend was already lifeless.

'What happening Hannah?'

Now Farida also came and saw that.

She immediately fell silent and widened her eyes in agony because she could not believe what she just saw.

Her face grew darker, and more darker.

And suddenly...

'Rena? You!!!!!' Farida's face immediately become so furious.

Dozens or even hundreds of chains appeared and try to pierce towards the butcher.

Myriad chains try to bind Rena, but none of it can do their work properly. Rena's speed exceeds the speed of Farida's chain movement. Whenever the chain try to bind her like a lasso, Rena could easily fly away.

The dark magic that the goddess has given was completely different.

All kinds of attacks and magic can be unleashed only by the power of darkness.

THUMP!

But it didn't last long.

Jormungandr is still not defeated. It is still assaults and crush anyone in its sight.

Its brutality headbutt at them and made those two sides separated.

'Gyah!'(Rena)

'This way!'(Tania?)

A body took her flying and away from them. She was able to survive thanks to the help of this goddess. But if she meets another justiciar for once more, she will be surely dead.

A few minutes after they ran.

They stopped on the rooftop of the tower while looking at the place where the fight just happen from this high. While making sure no one was chasing, they stared at each other.

'So, what's your plan?'

'Defeat that Goddess! She has stolen many of my subordinates without them knowing it that they are serves wrong goddess. And you are here are my only major subordinate at the moment.' The goddess said while making a fake body.

'Hey, what did you make?'

'Fake dead body, your friend obviously needs the body, right?'

'Ha, you better not...' Rena looked incomprehensibly at the goddess.

'All right... I'm gonna get rid of this body.... Then, lets back to the topic..." She narrowed her eyes to Rena. "Do whatever you want with that power, but remember! Do not be consumed by anger, otherwise the darkness in inside you will eat you and take over your mind!'

'Ha...?' She's getting puzzled.

'I have a little business here. Go on, have fun! Find something interesting for me!'

'I do nothing?'

'Yes, because all of your kind do is make things worse.'

What Rena was looking for was finally answered.

All this time, what was she been doing all this time is wrong.

Getting hands dirty is no longer a problem for her.

She is no longer a human, she is a demon in human body. With that assumption, Rena wanders around the city every time there is monster and a battle at the Time Fracture.

Looking for something interesting but nothing at all. What she only finds in her wander was only Valkyries and Justiciars who fight like fools.

But it is all changed, when he is appeared.

One day, her eyes caught an oddity. One of the Valkyries behave as she should not be.

The next day, one of the Justiciar also act as she should not be. And what's more, the strangely behaving Justiciar is Hannah.

'At last, some good fucking news...'

Finally, after a long way some searching.

She got it, a good and interesting thing to tell.

She's got something to tell the goddess who wears Tania's body.
