BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205 The Princess's Mission
"What do we need to do?" Hearing what the dean had to say, Sirius stood up and asked. Albeit having difficulty moving around, Sirius still stood up to show his determination and drive.
"I get it that you want to help but please calm down and have a seat. Your health comes before as to me, a wounded warrior is not comparable to a healthy one. Therefore, be the healthy warrior," The dean spoke and flipped his hand. A small rectangular device appeared in his hand as he crushed the device.
As he did, the device turned into thousands of particles that j fused into the walls of the whole office, "This will isolate the room and everything we discuss here will be kept here," The dean spoke.
"I get that but what about Ray? He is our leader and for us to discuss anything. We need his opinions as well," Tim asked.
"Yes, without him the meeting would be useless," Emma seconded Tim while the others nodded as they showed their belief in Ray.
Seeing their unwavering trust and belief in Ray, the dean smiled and thought to himself, "This kid has gotten some fine teammates who are loyal to him,"
As he thought, the dean turned to Ray and stood up from his chair as he approached him.
"Well, let\'s wake him up then," The dean spoke as he stood in front of Ray and pointed his finger at Ray\'s forehead. Touching the tip of his finger to Ray\'s forehead, a small beam of light appeared.
Within Ray\'s consciousness,
Ray sat on the mind floor in a meditating position as he slowly breathed in and breathed out. Besides him, Aurora, Mag\'ladroth, and FengFeng also meditated as an intangible aura formed around them.
Slowly, a small rift appeared in his consciousness as a hand propped out of the rift.
Feeling the disturbance in his consciousness, Ray\'s eyes opened wide as he looked at the rift opening up in his consciousness.
"Who is it?" He asked in a low voice as he stood up from his position. After all, Ray had nothing to fear. It was his consciousness and here he was in control of everything and had absolute power. Even if someone tried to overpower him here, Ray didn\'t care as there were two powerful beasts with him.
He was sure that even a single one of them could decimate anyone trying to invade his consciousness.
"Ray, it\'s me," The dean\'s voice sounded from the other side of the rift as the dean spoke, "I have come to talk,"
"Okay, enter," The dean replied coldly. After all, even if it was the dean; his consciousness was something he didn\'t want others to pry within.
On the other hand, when Aurora, Mag\'ladroth, and FengFeng heard that it was the dean, they simply disappeared as Ray didn\'t want anyone, not even the dean to know of those residing within his consciousness as they were a trump card he wanted to keep hidden.
With Ray standing alone in his consciousness, he raised his hand and allowed the dean to enter. As he did, the rift grew a bit more and opened up enough to allow one person through.
The dean walked through the rift and said,
"I know it\'s rude of me to intrude upon but it\'s important,"
"What happened? Didn\'t we win already? At least let me recover," Ray replied as he didn\'t understand what urgent matter the dean wanted to speak of that he had to visit his consciousness.
"It\'s about to happen," The dean spoke.
"What do you mean," Ray asked. A bit confused about what was about to happen.
"The merge is about to happen and your teammates require your presence so we could discuss about the plans to deal with the end," The dean answered.
As soon as the word "merge" went through his ears, his stance changed. With a stern expression, Ray\'s fists clenched as he spoke, "I get it. I will be there shortly," Ray spoke as he raised his hand and snapped.
The moment he snapped, the dean\'s figure assembled and disappeared as Ray turned around and spoke, "You guys heard him. Come out so we could discuss about it between us and then I would go there and discuss it with them too,"
"What do you want to ask?" A void appeared as Mag\'ladroth materialized in front while flames burst through besides him as FengFeng appeared.
"I want to know everything that you know. From the facts to legends, I want to each and every detail, prophecy, or guess you might have about the merge," Ray spoke, his voice was stern while his posture was firm.
Seeing him and his unwavering stance, both Mag\'ladroth, and FengFeng nodded as they understood that the kid in front of them was serious and that he was ready to face the end of the world and do anything to protect his loved ones.
While the two started their explanation and told everything they knew to Ray, the dean appeared in the outside world.
His expression was nasty as he thought, "He cut me out of there. I didn\'t even get to have a good look at his consciousness," The dean thought as he shook his head and turned to the others,
"I went into his consciousness and told him. He will be waking up soon," The dean spoke while the others nodded as they listened to what he had to say.
Meanwhile,
In Moore\'s office,
The princess sat on a chair as the earpiece in her ear trembled. Tapping on the earpiece, the princess spoke,
"What are the updates?" The princess asked.
"We hope you reached your destination safely. Your mother, her highness the Queen has a message for you," A monotonous voice sounded from the other side.
"What did she say?" The princess asked.
"She has assigned you two missions. She quoted, "Tell my daughter to search for the chosen one. That kid is the key to our plans and also tell her that the merge would be starting a few hours after she reaches her destination. Therefore, she will have to use her powers carefully and try to build some trust in human society. Make sure that she finds the chosen one, other tasks come later," The queen\'s voice faded as the message finished.
As the princess listened to her mother\'s recordings, she sighed and spoke,
"Tell her that I will keep it in mind and will start my mission right away,"
After saying that, the princess cut the call as she fell back on the chair.
"How bad of a mum I have. To send her only daughter to an unknown planet on a mission and now she asks me to find the chosen one of this planet," She spoke to herself and puffed her cheeks in anger.
After all, it was normal for the princess to be angry with her mother. The princess was a teenager and wanted a life like all other youngsters of her age and the reason she agreed to come to this unknown planet was to have some freedom.
But now, with the missions she got, she had less freedom and more work to do.
Sighing, she closed her eyes and went to sleep. From the information she had, the merge would start in the later hours of the next day. Therefore, she decided to save her energy and would focus on her mission in the morning.
As the princess went to sleep,
Ray finally opened his eyes to the real world as he looked around at his surroundings. The first person that came into his view was Aella and seeing her made him smile.
Bending forward, he kissed her, not afraid of showing his affection for her in public. After kissing her, he turned around and looked at everyone else. Nodding, he spoke,
"Sorry to keep you all waiting but my wounds were so severe that I had to close my eyes and rest," he apologized.
"Don\'t worry, it\'s okay," His teammates spoke.
On the other hand,
Seeing Ray gain consciousness, the dean stood up from his chair and spoke,
"Let\'s start our meeting,"
While the dean started the meeting. Deep within the cosmos, continuous changes occurred as the veil between dimensions thinned.
The veil separating Earth and the dimension in which System Online trembled as the merge entered its pseudo-initial stages as the world of System Online moved closer and closer to Earth.
"Just a few hours before it starts," Two beautiful men overlooked everything as one of them spoke. The one who spoke had an angelic face and wore pure white clothing. Looking at him, he seemed like the purest person to ever live.
Right beside the man was an equally charming and handsome man in black clothing. Though, from the way he was; the man looked like the exact definition of the devil.
"With this, our work will be done. Master will be pleased with us," The devilish man spoke as he rubbed his hands as if anticipating something, "It will be fun," He thought as he continued observing the veil between the worlds thinning.
