"Shall we dance?"
As the three stood face to face the atmosphere turned tense and suffocating as all three of them raised their momentum
As their coats fluttered from the strong wind they were creating Dion was the first to speak as he said "Before we start, may I ask you a question first Ms. L?"
Eleri didn't have a problem with it and nodded as she said "Go ahead"
Dion smiled as he said "Ms. L, may I ask do you have something you regret the most in the past? Mine was that I wasn't strong enough before to protect my parents, how about you Ms. L? Have you ever felt so powerless before?"
Hearing this Eleri closed her eyes as she took a deep breath and her body trembled, she recalled the past, when her friend took the bullet for her, when Raizel died right before her eyes because of her
Opening her mouth she said "Yes, yes I have something I indeed regreted, and that is not protecting my friends well, and--"
Shiiiiiiiiiinggggg
Purple lighting appeared in her hands as she opened her eyes as it shown and she said "--For being so weak!" as she said that she dashed towards Dion!
"Hah!"
Boom!
As her fist with lightning landed on the ground she broke she saw Dion disappeared and appeared behind her
"Roar!"
Kyle attacked with his werewolf form and tried to scratch Dion with his sharp claws alas Dion avoided each and everyone of it
"Hm hm" Dion laughed lowly as he flicked his finger and suddenly the scene changed right infront the two of Kyle and Eleri
Facing their backs against each other they quietly observed the surroundings
The environment suddenly turned into thick white mist as Dion's figure disappeared
Suddenly a figure appeared before Eleri and as she squinted her eyes she froze!
The figure that appeared was a youth with black hair, crimson red eyes, pale skin white as a corpse the youth looked fragile and weak but that was not the reason why Eleri froze but because--
"Eleri?" Kyle tried calling Eleri but didn't heard a response so he looked back but found that Eleri was looking at a boy that appeared from the mist
He immediately sensed the danger coming from the boy and he immediately shouted "Eleri-!"
Kyler froze as he suddenly saw something that surprised him
Drip
Drip
Eleri was shedding tears as she called out in a hoarse voice "Raizel?"
"Ahh!"
She clutched her head in pain as countless of painful memories appeared in her head
"Eleri!" Seeing the situation Kyle gritted his teeth as he thought 'This is not looking good'
He wanted to attack the youth but found that he was locked in a transparent glass
He tried calling out to Eleri but alas she couldn't hear anything
As the shoes of the boy appeared in her sight she looked up and saw the Raizel smiling sincerely to him just like in the past
Raizel stretched out his hands to her as he said "Let's go home, Eleri"
Hearing him Eleri widened her eyes
After a moment passed Eleri stood up and stretched out her hands towards him
Kyle was shocked and screamed "No! Don't be deceived, L!"
But Eleri couldn't hear him nor anyone else anymore
She reached out and then--
Shiiiingggggg
"Kuh…"
Eleri pierced through Kyle's chest with lightning in her hands as she hugged him and said "I'm sorry, but--"
Looking coldly she said "--The real Raizel never called me by my full name"
As blood dripped from the corner of "Raizel" lips he smiled and said "Well done" as he said that he disappeared into a fog
Suddenly the surroundings turned back into a library as the invisible glass of Kyle also disappeared
Tak Tak
Dion clapped his hands as he said with a smile "I thought you would fall for it but I guess I was wrong"
Eleri lost her smile as she said "Your ability, it's illusion right? Showing the deepest regret and desire of a person"
Dion smiled and said "That's correct! And it seems like that person was very special to you Ms. L, may I ask who is he to you? No to change the question--"
"--Is he the reason why you joined the Dream Tower?"
Eleri's face was cold and didn't said anything
Dion's smile widened as he muttered "I see"
Shrugging his shoulders he said "Well the game is over you can wait for the time limit to be over by then"
[What?]
[It's done just like that?]
Kyle and Eleri were also doubting him as they looked at him suspiciously
Dion waved his hand as he said "I'm really not the type of Judge that has strong bloodlust I'm just doing my mission on preventing players from clearing the game"
"But you already passed the test I have, you did not succumb to the temptation I have, that's why I can say this is already a pass"
"What's more I'm already tired so when you guys disappear I can finally relax"
Hearing this Kyle was still hesitant but heard Eleri sigh as she said "Right? It's too tiring I envy you that you have all of these books to accompany you"
Dion nodded his head aggrieved as he said "It hurts when all the dreamers have to come here and disturbs me from reading"
Eleri said "I know right"
Dion clasped his hand as he said "Then while there is still some time left why don't we play one final game?"
"If you guys win I will give an extra reward"
[What?! That's so good!]
[Is there such an amazing thing?!]
"But" Dion pressed his hands on his neck as he said "If you lose you die"
"So then" Opening his arms Dion said with a smile "Will you play?"
