Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

125 Chapter 125



After the discovery of the dead bodies, the tournament was immediately halted and the authorities and even some very high personnel from all kinds of kingdoms went to check the situation.

It was a total mess, they didn't know whether they should try to find a way to enter the maze or to deal with a potential Nightingale member lurking around them secretly, waiting for them to lower their guard, and then he would attack.

"Those bastards did it under our noses as if they were mocking us. Fuck!" A man cursed as he slammed on the table while looking at workers dragging the dead bodies out.

"We don't know their faces so it's easier for them to infiltrate the tournament easily. What a bunch of monsters!" Another interjected with a comment of his own.

"Did they close the city routes?" A woman asked her servant.

"What's the point of that? They can get in and out of this place as if it was nothing. Our only chance now is to stop them from getting the Midnight Song!"

The group kept talking and discussing the situation trying to find a solution as fast as possible. The Convention had already gone to ruin with this accident.

As for Leislet, she left that matter to whoever was assigned for it and walked back to the stands. The place had already been emptied from people and was now a desolate arena akin to that of a ghost city.

It has been 3 hours since Acht got buried and there was no sign of him getting out or any sign of him being alive either. She had tried multiple times to find a way inside the maze but she couldn't. The teleportation portal needed the energy crystal to function and the crystal was nowhere to be found.

The only solution is to get the reserve one but it will take time to get properly fixed and restored. So, all she could do was wait. It was the worst time of her life, each second was like an annoying bell in her head that announced the death that was looking over Acht getting closer and closer.

She tried to stay optimistic but the doubt was now seeping into her heart and crippling her mind.

"Is there no sign of him moving?" A voice suddenly asked her.

She didn't turn around to check who it was and kept her eyes on the screen.

"No...Nothing." She responded meekly.

The person who was asking was obviously Scarlett. She had been inside checking the murder scene to stop herself from thinking about the worst-case scenario for the boy.

"Maybe-"

​ "Don't!" Leislet stopped her from speaking with a glare.

"He's alive and he will get out of there alive. There is no other outcome!!!"

Her eyes were crazed and she looked like a maniac trying to keep herself calm as hard as she could. Maybe she wasn't as composed as she appeared to be.

*************************

"Fuck!!!! I can't hold on any longer!!!" Acht cursed loudly as he pushed with his arm. He felt his muscles on the verge of bursting like balloons from sheer exhaustion and pressure.

He had been in the same position for at least 3 hours without rest, holding off tons and tons of rocks with one hand while fighting the hellish pain in his body at the same time.

Tania was still unconscious, she seemed to have hit her head hard since even though Acht made her drink a potion, she was still in a coma.

*Swish*

The debris was slowly moving downward as Acht started losing power in his limbs.

'I even exhausted my soul force.'

Even he himself was starting to lose hope. There is simply no way out. Before he had been in a very dangerous situation and he was almost killed but he found a way out of it somehow. He was able to keep his life intact no matter how bad the situation was.

But, this time, he was genuinely helpless, it was way too overwhelming for him. It was as if Livia was mocking his training and his new strength. It was as if she was telling him that no matter what you do, you will always be weak in my eyes. A total disdain and mockery!

Acht had already thought about that idea and it seemed quite plausible. But, he had no way of retorting to that.

*Swish*

Finally, the last push of rocks finally made him give up and the debris crushed him slowly. The hellish pain he was feeling was inhuman.

That is when something that he didn't expect happened.

'Do you want my powers, human?' A voice spoke in his head that made his eyes open wide.

He couldn't take a look at them, but from an outsider's point of view, his eyes were shining with a weird blue light.

'Do you want to become the strongest? Do you want to grab your own fate with your hand?' The voice asked him multiple questions at the same time.

They were all things that resounded in Acht's head endlessly. It was indeed what he desired and what was his initial goal since the moment he existed.

'I can give you what you desire. I can give you the power of the Dragon. I can make you the Dragon King. So, what is it that you desire?'

Acht didn't hesitate as he spoke. It was as if his mind had another owner that took decisions for him.

"...I...WANT POWER!!!" He shouted with his hoarse voice that was tired beyond belief.

'Fine, I shall give you my powers, human. However, I want you to fulfill a wish of mine, human.' the voice said.

He then stopped for a moment and added.

'My wish is still not possible to be fulfilled. Gain strength, become more powerful, and fulfill my wish and then you shall inherit everything I have. I shall now open the first lock of the dragon heart, the gravity domain!'
