Chapter 211- Descension (Part 2)

"Sorophi?" Rin muttered as he stood up with difficulty while holding his abdomen. The pain from the hit lingered. Rin assumed that he broke a rib from that hit alone.

"... Why did you lie?" Sorophi asked as she glared at Rin coldly.

"I..." As Rin was about to try and explain, he understood that even if she believed his words, he can\'t really escape the inevitable.

"I hid it because I had no other choice." He said as he gave a glance at the gates behind them.

"... Why would you do that? Sorophi thought we are friends." She added as tears welled up in her eyes.

"..."

"You are an enemy..." Glaring at Rin angrily, Sorophi channeled her aura.

Then, at an alarming speed, vanished and reappeared in front of Rin before sending a strong punch to his stomach.

"BLUGH!!" Rin coughed out blood as he looked down at his stomach. There, a huge hole could be seen where Sorophi\'s fist was.

However, Rin simply leaned forward and whispered a few words in Sorophi\'s ear. Words only she can hear from everyone present. When Rin stopped and smiled, Sorophi\'s eyes widened as she stared in deep shock Rin pushed himself away from her and then yelled.

"Whether this war would determine that humans are the rulers or not is none of my business. However, remember one thing, you all! Everyone is at fault in this so even if you win, you are no better than the demons themselves."

After that, Rin smiled one last time at Sorophi and jumped back.

"Oi!" Letum\'s eyes widened for a moment as he quickly flew toward the cliff, trying to catch Rin. However, the latter used his powers and summoned the bird again.

\'I-I can only keep it on for a few seconds.\'

As he lay on the bird and flew far and far away from the cliff, the last few ounces of mana he had finally got depleted and the bird vanished completely, throwing Rin down to the hole beneath... The hole that led to the demon world.

"He killed himself..." Letum murmured as he looked at Rin\'s silhouette falling deeper and deeper into the abyss.

"Does he think he can survive that fall without having permission to enter the demon world?"

"..." On the other hand, Sorophi was completely frozen in her place. Her mind completely stopped working.

The words that Rin said resonated with her a great deal. It erased all the anger and pain she had and yet also replaced them with a deeper sadness.

"Sorophi betrayed... her friend." She murmured as tears fell down on her face.

She wanted to scream and release all the feelings she was going through. However, she didn\'t do that.

Instead, she turned around and left the place without talking to anyone.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Emilia already left the academy as she carried Elise. The latter was still unconscious. However, a frown did appear on her face.

"... Rin."

***

A few days later, inside Zeus, the flying castle, Letum was standing in front of the higher-ups.

"How did you allow him to run away, Letum?"

"He killed himself."

"What if he\'s still alive?" Another one said.

"Impossible. He didn\'t possess permission to enter the demon world so his body will get disintegrated before it reaches the bottom. The chances of him dying are almost 100%."

"Well, at the very least, we got rid of him. What about the girl that always accompanied him."

"... She went missing basically at the same time that Rin Silvereye vanished. However, I do have an odd feeling that all of this might be planned."

"Is she herself a demon too?"

"I doubt. However, what I\'m certain of is that Rin did this on purpose. He most likely sacrificed his life for her to run away."

"... We must find her too. She can\'t go that far away in a few days. As for you, Letum. You know what should be done, right?"

"Yes."

"We must eliminate all the threats that might threaten the academy. This war should be ended before it even starts. Proceed with the plan."

"I know."

***

While the world thought that Rin died after he jumped off the cliff on the sky islands, no one knew the truth of things. In a dark place somewhere unknown, Rin opened his eyes.

"U-Ugh!! My stomach!" Coughing violently, Rin looked around him confusedly.

"Where am I... Ah, right, I fell into the gate." He said as he tried to move and instead found himself groaning.

"What is this place?" Rin was inside what seemed to be a room. He was laying on a bed and had bandaids around his stomach and head.

The room was moderately big with walls made out of dark wood. Then, Rin shifted his gaze to the window beside him. Outside, it was a night with a starry sky and stars riddling it like lamps.

"It\'s just like how Letum described it." Rin murmured with awe clear in his eyes.

The sky looked so pure and mesmerizing that he forgot for a second why he was there in the first place.

At that moment, the door to the room opened and a small girl came walking inside with a tray in her hand. The moment she saw Rin sitting on the bed, her eyes widened as the tray fell from her hand.

"AAAH!!" Then, she ran outside at an alarming speed.

"Hm?" Tilting his head, Rin listened quietly as the girl seemingly talked to someone and then ran back inside.

After that, he heard the steps of two people coming into the room. This time, along with the girl, an old man made his way inside.

"You\'re awake." He said with a serious tone.

"Uh, ah, yeah... Did you save me?" Rin asked.

"Not me, she found you in a cave nearby. You were bleeding profusely and on the verge of death. I still don\'t know how you survived."

"I see... For how long have I been asleep?"

"Two weeks or so since we found you."

"Two weeks!!" Rin almost coughed blood again from sheer shock.
