Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

201 Chapter 201- Reunion (Part 2)

Leislet didn't avert her eyes from Acht. Hi silhouette, his face, his cold yet also calm demeanor. Everything familiar about him made her feel her heart leap from happiness.

She forgot the whole destruction that happened and the whole problem they were facing. For just one moment, she felt her world shining again after being in the darkness for long.

No one could understand the suffering she went through all this time. These past few weeks have been the worst in her entire life. Everything just kept getting worse and worse for her. From losing Acht to getting stabbed to the invasion, it was all so bad that she almost broke under pressure.

No matter how much she tried to keep herself together and try to fix things properly, her mind just couldn't handle all of this stress.

This also affected her strength and performance in general. She basically turned from one of the strongest hunters in the world to basically a burden on everyone.

'The past few weeks have shown how powerless I am. I couldn't protect the things I loved and I also kept getting tossed around by fate. I have also seen everything around me crumbling and on the verge of disappearing.' She thought as she tilted her head down.

She had felt this change in her character in general and also could see results from this period of vulnerability affecting every aspect of her life.

No one would have blamed her if she gave up or just ran away from anything and everything. No one would've blamed her if she just isolated herself and cried to her heart's content, blaming everything around her for this tragic outcome.

But, she didn't do anything of that sort, she kept moving forward in this dark path, searching for the light that she had before and trying to grasp it again.

'I am hopeless without him. Hehehe, I can't live without that brat now!' She chuckled to herself helplessly.

It was such a relieved chuckle that made her feel her tightened chest feel free again. Seeing Acht had somehow fixed everything she suffered from.

'How bad did I fall in love? I thought I would meet a person my age, maybe an aristocrat or a royalty, and marry him and then have kids before dying of old age. Instead, I fell in love with a kid. I am very weird.'

But, even with her being aware of that, she wouldn't give up on this love. Even if Acht was a kid, she would wait for him to become old enough. Even if he didn't share the same emotions she felt for him, she would make him fall in love with her. Even if it takes years, or decades. Hell, even if it takes an eternity, she would try again and again until he accepts her.

As she thought so, her hand moved toward her massive breasts and touched her heart gently. Her smile was very affectionate and loving. A smile from a beauty like Leislet would look like that of an angel from heaven.

However, this smile alone was even more beautiful because it was a genuine smile coming from the bottom of her heart.

As for the person that was targeted by this loving smile, he was oblivious to such thoughts as he looked at the enemy standing in front of him.

'This bastard is also a reincarnated person like me, huh? He doesn't seem to be an earthling though.' He thought as he gripped the midnight song tighter and kept himself on high alert.

As for the man, he was having basically the same thoughts. He was very surprised by the appearance of a kid and his surprise turned to shock when he saw what this mysterious kid did.

'This brat was able to stop two meteors from falling down. Wait…Does he really have that ability?' He thought while rubbing his beard.

"You really went all out with this invasion, old man." Acht started with a small smile.

He wasn't trying to just start a small chat but he was also looking for a way to end this fight without a direct confrontation between them.

He was sure that if they fought directly he would lose miserably so a good trick would work like magic in such a situation.

"Oh really? I thought that would work until a gravity user came and ruined the party." The man said with a smile of his own.

Acht didn't show any reaction as he spread his hands and answered.

"I got caught this quickly? You are very sharp for an old fart." He said.

The man didn't seem to like how Acht addressed him as his face grew a small frown on it.

"I already had enough with this. You people keep popping out like ants and I want this over now!"

He then looked at the corpses of clones that littered the whole ground. Immediately, the corpses that seemed to be completely dead started moving all of a sudden.

The blood that was drained from them somehow restored itself to its original state as if nothing happened.

Acht's smile disappeared and instead, he had a cold look on his face.

'Regeneration?' He wondered to himself as he inspected the clones.

But, this wasn't the end of it, the man then looked up and extended his arm in the air.

"Even without the origin warrior. I will summon every clone to this place at this moment. The work in every other city seems to be over." He said.

Acht was very confused since his words didn't make sense at all.

So, secretly, he pulled out his phone and called Lein to see how things turned out there.

The phone didn't pick up immediately as it kept ringing rhythmically.

'Did something happen?' He thought.

However, he sighed inwardly when he heard the phone get picked up and a voice answered.

"...A-Acht.'' The voice belonged to Lein but what made it weird was that it was very weak and whispery.

He could also hear the pain coming from her voice.

His face turned grim as he asked calmly.

"What happened?"

Lein didn't answer immediately as she took deep breaths with clear difficulty.

"The clones…They aren't the only army these invaders have…There are a lot of them. They are leaving toward Lagradon…We couldn't…"

"What happened, Lein?" He asked again.

"Torn, Kin, Weltz, and even Uli…They are all dead…." She said in the slowest manner possible.

Acht's eyes widened in shock as he heard such news. He couldn't believe that 4 out of 7 members of Nightingale died just like that.

The news was so shocking that the boy could barely find a question to ask.

"What about Lenny and Jack?" He mustered the strength to ask after a few moments.

"I…don't know…Boss is just laying there covered in blood…As for Jack, I can't see him. Fuck! My organs are all ruptured!!!" She muttered with a loud groan.

Then, she said a few words before hanging up.

"Acht! It's pointless, we are all doomed. They are simply something that we can't fight. The war was already lost the moment we tried to face them. It's pointless to fight anymore. You can't win!" She ended her words with a shout.

Acht looked down, his face darkened slightly. For some reason, he didn't feel any kind of fear or anger, just pure, unbothered calmness.

Then, he took a peek at Leislet who didn't avert her eyes from him.

Then, as if he made his own mind, he said.

"I don't think I will."

"Wha-?! Are you dumb? Didn't I just say that all of us are dead?! Are you that suicidal?! You fucking dumbass!!"

"Yeah. I am a dumbass. I haven't done anything good since the moment I came into this world so I am pretty stupid and idiotic. Only mistakes one after the other. But, the only thing I did right here is that I never escaped because of fear for my life. I have suffered every possible torment in this world but I have never given up. I might run away if it would be for the best, but I never just cower in fear and escape. I have seen people run away from me in fear for their lives and that fact will never change until I enter my own grave. I might lose, but I will never surrender!"

Lein fell speechless from his words. It was totally the first time I felt such strong emotions from Acht.

He might sound like an arrogant brat, but his words didn't come from bluffing but from a deep truth he believed in. He was just stating facts that he blindly believed in.

"You are…crazy!"

"I will take that as a compliment." Then, he hung up the phone and sighed under his breath.

'It's time to see how this will end. The true climax for the show.'

It's either death or victory. And Acht was ready for both.
