Flashback

Fire.

It was all they could see in their surroundings. It was similar to a scorching hell with a lot of ruined buildings that were burnt in the fire. Their surroundings were similar to a temple that was located on the top of the mountain.

Vali, Bikou, Arthur, and Fenrir were staying together with Yuuki who was in front of them. At first, the temperature of this place was very unbearable for them, however, they started to feel a bit cool for some reason. They knew that it was because of Yuuki that had made them feel comfortable in this place.

"What is this?" Bikou asked, however, his voice was suppressed by the loud painful roar from Azi Dahaka.

"HAAAAAA!!!!!!" Azi Dahaka was burnt and he had never felt such a painful feeling before. He gritted his teeth and kept using his healing magic to regenerate his body, however, the fire kept burning his body into ashes. He tried to block the fire with his barrier, but his barrier was also being burnt by this fire. Then he used his ice magic to cool himself, however, it melted instantly in this place. His eyes were fierce and had turned red watching Yuuki who was looking at him with ease. He needed to defeat this guy as soon as possible to escape from this place.

"It's one of my skills. It's very effective to defeat those who are God or Mystic Beings," Yuuki answered. He had to admit that Azi Dahaka was very powerful since it could endure this fire. He changed his uniform into a military uniform while crossing his arms.

"Die! I want you to die!" Azi Dahaka shouted loudly while his body was burnt by fire. His eyes were fierce and he created a barrier that surrounded them.

Yuuki, Vali, Bikou, Arthur, and Fenrir were surrounded by a barrier. They weren't sure what Azi Dahaka wanted to do, however, they suddenly saw that they were in a different place from earlier. They didn't see each other again and felt that they were separated. They were wondering what would happen, but they didn't expect that such a thing would appear in front of them.

Vali who was trapped inside this barrier saw that he had become a child again and he saw the face of his mother along with his brothers. Even though his life was quite frugal, he was happy that he could stay with everyone.

Bikou, Arthur, and Fenrir also saw the same thing. They saw a lot of wonderful things and felt that it was the perfect world.

Yuuki opened his eyes lightly and saw that he had woken up on the bed.

"You've woken up?"

Yuuki saw the face of a woman, and this woman was very beautiful. He could tell that she was in her late 20's or in her early 30's. He wasn't sure who she was, but he felt a familiarity and a sense of warmth from this woman.

"You need to wake up or you'll be late," the woman said.

"Yes, mom," Yuuki said unconsciously and this made him frown. 'Mom?' He looked at this woman again and suddenly realized that it was his mother in this world. He had never seen his mother since she was deceased in the past. He also wasn't sure about her origin, but he knew that she was a powerful witch since Akane and Makoto were coming from her family.

Yuuki stood up and went to follow his mother. He had to admit that having a mother was very nice, and it might be one of the reasons why he loved an older woman than himself. He sat down on the table while looking at his mother who prepared breakfast. "Where are father and Raku?"

"Hmm? Father? Raku? What are you talking about?" the woman asked him with a confused expression.

"..."

Yuuki raised his eyebrow and suddenly realized that he wasn't living in a world where he was reincarnated, but he had come back to the world where he had lived.

"Are you still sleepy?" The woman asked.

Yuuki nodded and said, "I might need to sleep again."

"No way! You'll be late for school," the woman said.

Yuuki wasn't sure about his father or his little brother. He had come back to his original world and it was during his childhood time where his mother was still alive. He wasn't sure about his father, but he felt that it didn't really matter anymore.

"Here is the breakfast," the woman said with a warm smile.

Yuuki nodded while smiling at this woman. He had to admit that he was very happy with only her presence beside him and everything wouldn't be a matter for him.

Vali realized that everyone was fake and he destroyed the barrier in his surroundings with his fist.

*Shatter!*

"AAAARRRHHH!!!!!"

Vali looked at Azi Dahaka who kept screaming in pain. He wasn't sure how long he had been trapped inside that barrier.

"Vali," Albion said.

Vali realized that he wasn't the only one who was trapped inside. He looked at Arthur, Yuuki, Bikou, and Fenrir who were also trapped.

"I'll kill you!" Azi Dahaka sounded very angry. His body was kept burnt by the fire in this place, however, it didn't stop his will to kill everyone in this place.

Vali snorted and tried to shatter the barrier in front of him.

*BAAAM!!!*

Vali frowned since this barrier was very hard and he wasn't sure whether there was a side effect when he destroyed this barrier too.

"Useless! They won't wake up!" Azi Dahaka said loudly while glancing at him. "I am more surprised by you! Don't you like to live there? I can make you live in that place forever!"

Vali snorted and said, "All of them are fake! If I beat you then I can wake them up."

"Come! If you are really able to defeat me! But the moment, I can escape from this place, then I'll destroy all of you!" Azi Dahaka shouted.
