Remembering the time he first arrived on this Blue Planet, Vinci is still puzzled that a weak person survived in city A where the apocalypse started which is now considered a red zone. The first human he talked to became his student who courageously went to city A to look for the resurrection flower.
It has been more than a month since the incident. Vinci is still at the safe haven recuperating.
Everything seemed normal when he checked his mana. He tried to cast a spell and there was no backlash.
Since his body is in good condition, he is planning to look for David in city A.
"I believe you are leaving, aren't you?" Jenny sadly asked Vinci.
"I have been here for more than a month now and my student is still looking for the resurrection flower. I have to find him." He said. He is bothered by the thought that someone is willing to sacrifice his life for him. At that moment, he also felt that he needed to courageously go to city A.
Jenny asked him when he be leaving and he answered that he would be leaving the day after tomorrow. He needs to make sure that he is in good condition and he also needs to inform General Dan. Hearing his answer, Jenny's sad face is so noticeable that even Vinci who is numb notices it.
'Badump'
His heart beats fast and he feels a tingling sensation as if his heart is pierced by needles when he sees Jenny's face. Saddened is the best description of his emotion. This is his first time feeling sad leaving a person behind. For the past weeks, Jenny was always with him, taking care of him.
"Are you free tomorrow night?" Jenny asks him if he is available. She is planning to confess to Vinci that she likes him and she will wait for him to come back.
Vinci answered her that he was free tomorrow night then Jenny told him to meet up at the tree where they always go.
The next day comes, Vinci is walking around the camp and notices a blue butterfly is following him. He knows that this is not a normal butterfly so he goes to an isolated place inside the camp.
'What is it?' He knows that this butterfly is a medium of communication.
'How have you been? Do you like this planet?' A voice from the butterfly asked him.
'Is it you, Caden? Where are you?' The moment the voice asked him, he immediately recognized him. The people who knew about his goal of living on another planet were those from Purple Planet and only Caden who could do this kind of magic.
'Yes, I am.'
'We will meet soon. But for now, I have to ask you.'
'Have you heard about the resurrection flower?' Caden asked him.
Vinci is surprised to hear that Caden knows about it. He answered that he heard about it but this is not verified to be true yet.
Caden informed him that the resurrection flower truly exists but it is not what they think of. He did not explain further about the resurrection nor he informed Vinci where he is.
'I can't tell you everything but as someone from the same planet, I want you to stay alive and vigilant. Before I go, I want to inform you that something will happen tonight. Protect the ones that you cared for.' After saying everything, the blue butterfly vanished into colorful particles.
Vinci is left with so many questions because of what Caden said. The resurrection flower is not what we are thinking. Does this mean it is not a flower? Did someone deliberately spread this information? About tonight, what will happen?
Left with those unanswered questions, he continued to walk. He arrived at General Dan's room and informed him that he would be leaving tomorrow. General Dan knows that Vinci will be looking for his student in city A so he wishes him good luck.
The night comes and Vinci is going to the agreed place. Thinking about Jenny makes his heart beat fast and he can feel the heat of his body. In the distance, Jenny is standing under the tree. The lamps at the tree let her beauty radiate in the dark night. While taking a step forward nearing her, he feels the cold breeze in the night penetrate her skin that makes him shake.
A few meters away from her, Vinci stopped and shouted.
'No'
An evolved zombie has sneaked into the camp and is at the back of Jenny. It can shape its hands into something and stab Jenny. The Zombie is tall so when it stabs Jenny, it lifts her up.
Jenny is groaning and her blood spills all over the ground. Then the zombie throws her on the ground. This blackened Vinci's vision which causes him to release strong magic. Wind blades are all over in the air slicing every part of the zombie. It was not able to fight back. This alarmed the whole camp, and at the entrance, a large number of yellow zombies appeared.
He held Jenny in his arms and felt the blood spilling. A huge hole in Jenny's chest is visible. He cast a healing spell on her but this is not the strongest because of the restrictions. Tears fell out from his eyes and he started crying. In his one hundred years of living, this is the first time he cried.
The doctors came and took Jenny to the laboratory. Since he cast a healing spell on her, it served as first aid but they still needed to take her to the operating room. With a blank state of mind and hatred, when he heard that there are a lot of zombies outside he immediately flew to the entrance.
'Despicable and disgusting creatures need to be eradicated.'
A burst of his magic, the surroundings became cold and things started to freeze. The soldiers wanted to stop him; they worried that he would receive a backlash from using this kind of magic.
As he takes a step, the ground freezes and all the things in front of him within five meters turn into ice. The zombies that rushed toward him froze and were unable to touch him. As soon as the zombies turn to ice, an ice spike from the ground will break the frozen zombies.
After five minutes, the surroundings became silent; there was no growling from the zombies. When he realized that everything had been killed, he knelt down and cried. He blames himself for what happened to Jenny. If only he had come first, nothing should have happened to her.
He rushed to the laboratory to ask for an update. The doctors said that there is nothing they can do. Jenny is on her deathbed.
'There is still a way to keep her alive.' Frankenstein appears in that hopeless situation.
'If you will let me, I can keep her alive through my experiment.' He added even though people in the camp are against him. Vinci knows that only Frankenstein can help her in that situation and he agrees. Everybody agrees too.
---- in city A----
'How is the resurrection flower?' What phase are we on?' the man whom Jacque fought asked his doctors.
'We believe that we are in the last phase of the trial. Frankenstein is on it.' The doctor answered him.
'Finally!'
