Novel Full Chapter 108 - I'm Lonely...
The continuous explosion dumfounded the beasts. The image dimmed, looking at everywhere in a baffle. It turns its small eyes to the only human in the room, staring at this human with a piercing gaze. Seeing the image staring at him, Emma straightens his back and move closer to the image.
"What? Do you want to finish me off now…. Hmm," He stopped a couple of feet from the image. "I know you're responsible for the destruction of the building. Accept it and let get on with it."
The antennae on top of the image were trembling seriously. "Don't think I don't understand your plot. Ants. Do you think all your measly schemes can work against me? Hmm," The room shook violently. The light from the strange line on the ground brightened, illuminating the room.
"W-What –" Emma stuttered.
"Shut up! You took all my treasures while your subordinate tried to leave the room. The explosion shook the building, trying to divert my attention from your people. From the start, you don't have the intention of completing my quest. You are just a mere thief. That's why you don't want these three treasures." Emma shook from the sonorous voice of the beast echoing from his head. Blood flows out from his nose.
>>The beast is not as ignorant as you think it is. Let see how you're going to escape from this. Humph!
"What nonsense," Emma shouted, trying to maintain his stand. "Do I know if you have a hidden treasure or not? We entered this ruin by coincidence. What does the explosion have to do with us? I didn't steal your treasure or what nut. I agree to your quest and the treasure is my payment. You don't expect me to take one thing out of those, right?"
"That—"
"I'm not done!" Emma screamed. "How dare you question my integrity. I may not be strong as you say. But don't question my integrity. I and my team were here all this while. When did we have the time to cause the explosion? Hmm. Hmm." His voice took another octave.
>>Seriously, where did you learn all this.
'Call me Grandpa and I will show how it's been done.' Emma smirked.
The image fluttered gently while the beast's eyes rolled in its socket. No one could guess what the beast what thinking. 'This ant seems to be right. none of them left the room since they entered. They couldn't possibly know of me. Nevertheless, right or wrong. No one takes my treasure without leaving his life.'
"I—"
"Don't talk, I'm not done yet." Emma walked confidently toward the three treasures beside the altar and stared at the beast in the image. "Just because of these things you call treasure, you dare to question me! "he picked the first box and threw it away.
Pa!
The content inside the box was scattered on the floor, shocking the image. "How dare you?" it roared. Emma didn't care about the blood flowing from his nose. His eyes became dizzy while his leg trembled slightly. Yet, Emma picked the seconds box and threw it away. Pa!
"I will kill you." The image roared.
An enormous pressure descended on Emma's brain and heart. Everything became blurry, breathing became difficult. Thud! Emma fell on his knees, trembling. 'What a powerful mental attack.'
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, an ground shaking explosion shook the building. The image dimmed considerately, making the beast lose focus on its mental attack. Its small eyes looked at the surrounding with dread. 'What is going. Is the enemy back. Shit! My mental sense can not see past this room. How am I going to complete the mission if my last stronghold was destroyed by my enemies? Besides, how did they know I still exist in this ruin. I can't fail this mission, this is my last chance.'
Noticing the sudden disappearance of the mental attack. Emma's brain recovered from the attack. After a couple of seconds, his eyes regained their sight. He took a deep breath and stand up. "I know you have a wicked intention. Though I'm not surprised. The strong prey on the weak. If I'm stronger than you, I won't be in this awkward position. Sigh." He picked the last box and threw it away. "Do your worst." His voice was devoid of any emotions.
"Sure. I will show you my worst. Do you think all your bullshit talk can save your ass? Naïve." The image retorted arrogantly. "let see your attitude under my torture—"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What! What the hell is destroying the building." The image screamed.
'Shit. this building is sturdy than it seems. What kind of materials did they use to build it.' Emma thought in panic. 'Only a few explosives are yet to detonate. If this stupid building did not fall under it…. them…. I'm in for it.'
Boooom! Booom! Booom!
The explosion continues, shaking everything. Pillars began to fall, cracks began to spread everywhere, clouds of dust raised. Seeing this, the image became horrified while Emma was elated in his heart. He dared not show it on his face. He had noticed the mental power can see through his helmet. He needs to be in character until the end of the act.
Emma raised his head 45 degrees and sighed. "I guess this will be the end. Sighed." He paused and pretended to be lost in thought, saying. "I'm lonely. And I'm lonely in some horrible deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic."
>>My goodness. Your shameless has no bound. You, lonely.
'Of course, I'm lonely. Do you see anyone around me?' He smirked.
The image stopped fluttering. Its small eyes fixed on Emma. It couldn't understand this ant. What lonely. But it quickly shook the thought out of its mind. The continuous destruction of its hideout was paramount than this ant. Then, he heard Emma again.
"I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be lonely when it happens. Guess I won't be lonely at all" He looked at the image with a detached expression.
"What are you doing!"
