Chapter 90 Kira
[Survive!]
[Survive for as long as you can!
Time before the Night Crawlers reach Floor 58: 110 minutes!
Time Limit: Indefinite]
[You have entered Floor 59th!]
Soon I advanced to the next Floor and as I moved, killing the Zombies one by one. Erina wasn't talking as much as before. Most of the time she just asked me if I needed another buff or not, to which I mostly denied, since what she was doing was already enough.
Her eyes were focused on me, as if they were trying to figure out something. Though exactly what? That is something I didn't know.
"You okay?" I was a bit worried as I found her a bit more tense than before.
She shook her head at my question as she answered,"nothing. Do you need any more buffs?" At this I could only turn quiet as I only looked deeper in her eyes.
I then spoke,"You do know that it is not what I am asking, don't you?"
Her eyes turned a bit low before she started moving towards the next Floor, but as she passed by me, I grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"What is it? I generally don't get involved in other people's business, but with the way you are looking at me, I can't shake the feeling that it is related to me. So tell me Erina El Leilena… what is it that is going inside that brain of yours?" I asked with a deep sigh.
"You!" she turned at me with her eyes widened at me as she continued,"How did you know my full name? I… I never told you… How come…"
It seemed like she was doubting herself. Trying to figure out if she had slipped it up even once in our conversation, she seemed to recall really hard right now.
"I have a skill… that's all I can tell… " I spoke and her eyes turned at me, wide open as she observed me.
"You-"
"First, tell me what is going on? Is it related to that 'Kira' ?" I asked with a bit of a questioning look and she once again observed me with a wide expression. Her eyes shaking a little, she kept gazing at me, but before she could speak anything,
"So it's him, huh? Is he really that powerful to make you scared that much? All right. Tell me then, if I were to compare against him after all the power I have shown, how would I fare against him?" I asked with a slightly dominant look.
"1 second? 3 seconds at max… that's only when he will be lenient with you," she answered as she observed me and I just blankly looked at her. Just… What kind of monster was this 'Kira' ? Though…
"Aren't you underestimating me?" I asked again, and she shook her head and spoke,"No. I am not. Even if you were 10 or maybe 100 times stronger, even then I doubt you could last even 10 seconds against him…. He is… he is just that powerful," she said her previous distressed look slowly vanished.
"So basically I will die if I meet him?" I asked as I looked at her and she nodded at me with a deep look…
"Well… at least you can tell me something about him? A weakness of sorts or perhaps anything?" I asked again, but she smiled with a remorseful expression as she spoke,
"By the Laws that I am bound with, I really can't tell you no matter how much I want to."
Hearing those words, I could only groan a little as I then turned to her before speaking,
"Man… are you sure he is in this Dungeon?"
"I mean if something or someone that powerful is in this Dungeon then is there even any meaning of I going to the higher floors? Come on, man… " I spoke as I looked at her deeply before she put her head down as she spoke,
"It's not like I know anything about it, either."
'Though…'
"How come you are sure that he is in this Dungeon?" I asked as I looked at her. Well, that is because I already know the names of the two bosses that are going to be on the 63rd Floor and 70th Floor.
[Dungeon Index]
It actually had two utilities….
One was that it tells all the information regarding the Zombies that I had seen with my own two eyes. Like those bosses that I met before.
The other utility, though not as much useful, was that it told me the names of all the Zombies that are within the Dungeon, whether I have met them or not. And currently there are only 2 Zombies that I haven't met.
[Ymir]
[Ritra]
And looking at those names, it didn't seem like any of those were Kira… still, I should ask Erina about it.
"I… Well, wherever I exist, he can find me. And once he finds me, he comes to me. It doesn't take him long to get to me and many times he plays with me with his little acts. I think… even this time, he is just playing with me… waiting for me to get to him…" she spoke as a deep fear took surface on her face.
I moved towards her as I patted her head a little, speaking,"it's okay. Right now, there isn't anyone here. Just you and me. You can relax a little."
While I could have said some flowery words like 'I will be there for you' and sh*t like that, if that guy can astalavista me within seconds, I doubt my words would have any effect on her. All I could hope is to keep her company until the end of the Dungeon before escaping from here.
"Does Ymir or Ritra ring a bell for you?" I asked curiously, but confusedly she looked at me and shook her head as she questioned,"who are they?"
'So they are not Kira? Looks like Kira isn't here right now,' I thought as a hope flickered through my body and I decided to finish the whole Dungeon fast before that 'Kira' guy could interfere.
Maybe I still have a chance here…
Though… something happened…

And… it didn't just end at that…

[Emergency Quest!]
[Escape!]
[An unknown entity has arrived in front of you. The sense of power is beyond your realm. System has found that it holds hostile intentions towards the user. The user is advised to escape as fast as possible!]
My eyes turned to that guy….
[Inspect!]
[Name: Kira ???
Race: ????
Description: ???
Cessation Energy: ????/????
Stats:
Strength: ???
Constitution: ???
Dexterity: ???
Intelligence: ???
Wisdom: ???
Charisma: ???]
I couldn't see anything in his status at all.
"Huh? Who is he, Erina?" he asked as he turned to Erina who was frozen in fear as she observed Kira.
Not wasting much time, I immediately tried opening [Dungeon Options!] and moving to the [Exit Dungeon!] but…
"What are you even trying to do?" he spoke with something in his hand…
It was a heart.
It was still beating…
[Your life force ceased to exist!]
Was it mine?
[System has detected that the user's situation is beyond critical!]
Huh? What does that mean?
[Using Force Protocol to Save the User!]
[Force Protocol Failed!]
Those were the words before my consciousness began to fade away….
What just… happened…
[You have Died!]
