Chapter 34

1 day later

As Elijah and his team left, Eleri and the others came back to the Rubiks cube building after the second hidden game ended

After leaving the rubiks cube building they went to find a shelter deep hidden in the mountains

Now at present Eleri and the others sat at a certain corner as the other Eleri and Nouvel stood at the opposite

Eleri took a deep breath as she said "So, to explain it, me- no you- ah! Whatever!"

"So the fact is that I was supposed to die at that moment but you were able to travel through time and prevent that from happening as you saved us back then"

"But you-, already died didn't you?"

The other "Eleri" nodded her head as she said "Yes, that's why we traveled through time to prevent that cycle from happening over and over again"

Suddenly Eru spoke as he said "But for you to break time and space there's gotta be a price to pay isn't it?"

"Eleri" flinched before she said "As expected of Eru, you already know most of it now just by glance don't you?"

Eleri was stunned and looked at Eru as she thought 'Eru? I know he's IQ is very high but I did not expect him to know so much just by seeing that version of me'

Eru hummed nonchalantly as he nodded his head

Eleri stared at Eru before she took a deep breath and said "So then, what's your purpose in appearing here?"

"Eleri" smirked before she said "Ofcourse it's to change the future"

"By going back through time with another version of me existing in it I can prevent many things from happening that was meant to be the future"

Hearing her explanation Eleri nodded before she asked "Then--"

"What version of me are you? Are you the third me who died from Satan, or--"

"Eleri" smiled bitterly as she interrupted and said "I'm the seventh version of you"

Kaylus and the others except for Eru widened their eyes as they thought 'She died that many times?'

Eleri did not react but lowered her head before she sighed and asked "Then what do you suppose we do?"

"Eleri" smiled as she said "I know this might sound like a crazy plan but there's a technique that can make you stronger without needing to die that many times"

Eleri asked with doubt "And that is?"

"Eleri" curled up her lips a she said with a wicked smile "Let's combine our souls"

Thump!

Hearing this everyone froze as Kaylus said with a paranoid smile "Are you serious? Then who will be the one to control the body? What will happen to the other Eleri and Nouvel then?"

"Eleri" crossed her arms as she said "I'm not certain on who will be the one to control the body but there is one thing that I'm sure and that is--"

"-- The other soul will perish"

Whoosh

Yuki gritted her teeth as ice suddenly appeared and dashed towards "Eleri"

"Yuki"

Suddenly only with one word said by "Eleri" Yuki stopped and saw that she was smiling as she said "I know this is hard to take in but unless we do it we can never stop the seventh hidden game"

"Seventh?" Eru asked

"Eleri" nodded as she sighed and said "Let me tell you, the fifth is one of the hardest game I've ever seen, because your enemy will be Lucifer, the sin of pride"

"His pride is much more than you could ever imagined, he will never stoop low to us and can make us perish in just a flick of his finger, that's why we must combine our souls so that we could combine our powers and memories"

Yuki gasped and bit her lower lip as she screamed and said "So what? If she's gonna disappear anyway-!"

"Stop it Yuki!"

Yuki froze as she was yelled at by Eleri, she turned her head stiffly as she said "Big sis, L…"

Eleri sighed as she said "I understand…Let's do it"

Yuki gasped as she screamed "Big sis L!" but gasped as Eleri placed down her hand on her head and rubbed it

Raising her head Yuki saw Eleri smiling at her as she said "It's all gonna be alright, anyway I'm still me either way no matter what version it is"

Yuki shook her head desperately but Eleri just sighed as she hugged her and said "I'm sorry, Yuki"

As Eleri raised her head she looked at Nouvel and asked "Would you also do it?"

Nouvel was silent for a long time before he nodded his head solemnly

"Alright"

"Let's do it"

*****

As both Nouvels and Eleris stood before each other they placed their hands at each others shoulders before--

"Ah!"

Suddenly countless of memories that did not belong to each other started top combine as it surged in their heads

Shhhhh

Suddenly the two Nouvel and Eleri's bodies started to mix as bright light blocked everyone else sight

Whoooooosh

Strong winds started to blew as the trees started to shake and the ground started to break

Boom!

Suddenly the bright light exploded as only one Nouvel and Eleri were left as they fainted at the spot

"L!"

"Nouvel!"

Kaylus and the others immediately rushed towards their side as the surroundings went back to normal

"L! Wake up! L!"

Eleri seemed to hear someone faintly calling her but her body was in so much pain that she couldn't even move from the numbness

___

Drip

'Huh?'

Drip

'Where am I?'

Drip

Opening her eyes forcefully Eleri saw nothing but an endless darkness

Drip

The ground was flooded with water that only reaches her foot

Looking around she suddenly collapsed as she screamed and as she did countless of images appeared in the endless darkness

"Eli! Run!"

"No!"

"I'm sorry, Eli…"

"Lucifer! I'm going to kill you mark my word!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

As the voices entered her ear she closed her eyes very tightly, it was painful

She then screamed as she punched the ground

Boom!

With a 'Boom!' the images shattered like glasses as Eleri panted and sweats dripped from her face

As she panted she thought 'What was that? Was that…the future?'

But Eleri did not have time to think as she was pulled in by a bright light suddenly

___

"L…"

"L.."

"L!"

Gasping Eleri opened her eyes as she saw she was inside a cabin

"L! She's awake!"

As Yuki ran towards her Eleri asked "How long had I been unconscious?"

Yuki flinched as she heard this before she said with her head lowered "It's been two weeks"

Eleri was silent for a moment before she said "I see. Then, what about Nouvel? How is he?"

Yuki answered truthfully "He already woke up a week earlier than you and he has been practicing his strength, what's more I think--"

"--He had grown stronger than before now"

___

Boom!

As Nouvel raised his sword with just one slash the whole forest burned in black flames

Nouvel panted as he wiped off his sweat

"Not bad"

Hearing the familiar voice he hadn't heard for two whole weeks Nouvel turned his head to see Eleri being supported by Light while walking towards him

Eleri smiled as she said "So, are you the Nouvel I know or-"

"It's me" Nouvel said solemnly

Eleri smiled as she said "I see, that's a relief"

Nouvel didn't need to ask Eleri if she is still her or the other as he said "Go rest so that we could finally move on to the next hidden game"

Eleri laughed as she said "Sure"

As they said another week has passed since then and they entered the rubiks cube house once again as the mechanical voice sounded

--Ding!

-- Welcome dear dreamers! The third game will begin in 10 seconds

--10, 9, 8, 7-…

Taking a deep breath Eleri closed her eyes before she once again opened it and looked up

--4, 3, 2, 1

-- The third hidden game begins!

As the bright light faded after engulfing them Eleri was met with something that stunned her

"Woah! This is my favorite!" Kaylus was so happy that he almost ran towards it without thinking but fortunately Caesar grabbed his back collar and stopped his excitement

-- Welcome to the Gamble House dear dreamers!

-- The seven deadly sin that the dreamers are gonna be facing for this game is none other than-

-- The sin of greed, Mammon!
