Is It Wrong For A Gamer To Be In The Dungeon? Familia Myth Of Zetta

BOOOOM—

Not long after, from the gate of Twilight Manor. Finn, Gareth and Riveria who conversing about their next course of action, heard a booming sound that not even a couple of seconds later---

BOOM—!

This time, what destroys is their meeting room whose from the toppest floor of their Manor.

"Such grand entrance, Zet" Finn who lightly smile but a little angry seeing their Manor turned to this as rubble and dust covers their decades of age meeting area; look at Zetta and follows "I'm sorry I did not hear that you arrived"

But Zetta's face is contorted in dark, and his originally silver eye is now lifeless and hollow. Noticing this, the 3 realize that a girl from his Familia is now gone. The trio lowers their head in sorrow.

"Finn, why?"

From his words, the Pallum shut his eyes close. The other two from his back at the same time didn't made any move.

"Thats a simple request, yet why?" Zetta voice and head drooped low. Only a voice of a loneliness is what exited from his dried lips.

Finn learned that one of Zetta's Familia is the victim the demi-spirit Riveria before long during the battle, that even Riveria couldn't help her(Long Ran) from recovery.

Afterall, what drains within her is her life force itself and not her stamina or mind. In short, her mortal body cannot be regenerated, jusk like an isolated leaf out of its tree, waiting to dry.

Finn then remembers, Zetta told him to protect his Familia but he didn't flinch but instead answers the latter "again I'm sorry, but Zet you are not the only one, even us received a collateral damage, even us—our comrade dies, 6 of them to be exact. So, I know how you feels as a captain, but—"

"Finn. My Familia, is only consists of not more than 20 ladies and one frail Goddess"

"Yes, that I know but what I'm telling you is my eyes are not always looking and watching them in peril and save them. Realize it too, Zet. I'm just a mortal who don't know what would happen later. And realize it too. Our casualty is much larger than yours--"

"—Then, if my Familia has annihilated, you won't say that last word? Is that it?" Again, he follows "You exterminate the pests before I arrive, ha ha f*cking big word"

"W-wha. . .what I mean is—"

Again, Finn shiver in cold, he clearly remember saying that exact same word during his friend's departure in which, made the pallum turned blue of embarrassment and guilt. He clenched his fists as if a big rock hit his backhead and realize all of the thing thats happening is mainly his fault, so this happen is actually his fault?

Finn gritted his teeth full of guilt. He is indeed liable.

No. Finn did what he could. Its originally not his responsible to babysit other familia, he knows it fully well, but why can't he retort this time?

"What he mean is, we too have something to protect, its not because he promise to protect them doesn't mean he's always eyeing their every action. I'm sorry but this case is close Zetta-kun, so please return back to your Familia. There are something we need to discuss and this is also important for a whole Orario's future, so please—" Riveria supports the defeated Finn as she realize he cannot win through reasoning against Zetta this time.

Shuddering as he kneel in two, Zetta chuckles as the ground created cracks "He he, important this, important that he he, truly amusing" Zetta then snapped out and took off a piece of sinister raven-colored magic stone as big as his fist out of his inventory. Light still flickers from the inside.

"So in the end, I sacrifice one of the important person of my life, just to kill a single dragon! hah, f.u.c.k.i.n.g life!" he sigh smiling yet sad and at the same time, dark shadow lingers from the stone he was holding, shadow-like hand are slowly grabbing his fast pounding heart, squeezing it hard. . .

As for the 3, not because it was different from other magic stone did the trio is taken aback but by his words. That very word would make even gods slit their throat from shock.

'He really did!?' Gareth this time wear the face of worry while looking at Zetta, scared out of his wits for the first time in his life.

He never felt threatened before or a fight that he couldn't win and helplessnes never occur in his decades of life. But why fear pressing him now?

After then, he said a word enough for only his other two companion could heard "did he said, 'just' a dragon!?"

Forget sacrificing one, even Zeus Familia only injured it and they annihilated in return before its retreat.

Isn't it scary that a single person, killed the legendary monster. . .without any help from others?

So Gareth's reaction is actually normal. Too normal when others heard it, their mouth bubbles from shock and lose their conciousness, and that is for sure.

Who would believe? Who would not believe? That a single person kills it?

Not everyone could process it, so they only take it as a joke if they heard this amazing tale

But the one who kills it. Would later terrorize the whole Orario.

Because. . .

One of his treasured life. One of the 'many' he valued the most. One who he grasps, so he say; Withers away in front of his very face, in his own embrace. And the curse [Fated to Perish] are still attached to him and clearly saw it inside his debuff bar under his status, so this isn't the end of his frustration.

This isn't the end.

Zetta wanted to tell them this, but why can he when wrath fills his mind?

That is why Artemis at the same time couldn't help but to only cry watching her Zetta in pain whose not even try to look at her face; Outside where Zetta leaves her.

Where Long Ran bid her farewell---perished as her withered body carries by the cold breeze of wind.

Even though the sun are still shone above the whole orario, the wind that lingers in this area is only but cold that enters through Artemis frail skin

This is why. . . Until now, no matter how much the goddess bit back her tears, it all still flowing behind her hand covering face.

One could seen it. . .clearly.

Very clear as her wail, hiccups and the never-ending drop of crystal flowing towards her strength-less leg.

That no matter what kind of power she possess. . .

As if all of them, has been drained down at this very moment. . .she never know. This isn't the end of Zetta's agonizing pain from such cursed.

Consecutively, elsewhere. . . . .

"How'd you think of that? Do you have any proof?" (Astraea)

"I haven't yet to tell him from that time but. . ."

"But?"

"That dragon is the acc.u.mulation of lost soul; more likely, the soul it devours, right?"

"Soul it devours? Ahh right. . .is it because of its skill that can copy every adventurer it kills??---" Astraea questioned.

Sunshine Rhea nodded and re-corrected "More like, the skill of the adventurers it devoured from the past" Although through speculation from the past story of Astraea, Sunshine Rhea couldn't help but to piece all of her knowledge together---and the fact that a mere level-3, killed a calamity dragon. . .even if its luck or 'whattheycalledit'---she concluded still.

"---then, what are the connection between it and that boy?" Astraea again, questioned.

"If my assumption is correct, the sin it acc.u.mulated---stored in its magic stone. . .that is what I wanted to tell him, and that stone is the dragon core itself, correct?"

"You mean? No way! Wait! If your assumption is true, how can the dragon will certain that Zetta will release it?"

"I'm sure you yourself know what is the trigger, kami-sama"

"Negative emotion?"

"Specifically, grief, loneliness or wrath. . .The best way to let him unleashed all of his negative emotion in one go are this three mentioned, thereafter---"

"Taking control of his body???"

"uhuh, that or let Zetta destroy the Orario by himself, but if Zetta's wrath is not fully gauge, it cannot fully control him---so the question is. . .how can it be so sure that Zetta will do so?"

"What do you think?"

"Uhhh, I'm only taking assumptions and not a fortune teller kami-sama, so don't ask me"

"Jeez, but why is your assumption looks accurate and more believable this time?"

"hmm. . .what do you mean by that? when it comes on theory none can beat this Rhea"

"Fufufu Nothing, nothing"

Thereafter Astraea stride forward, returning back to their village but Sunshine Rhea stopped her track, looking above the clouds: birds flapped their wings with chirped as it past flew her sight. She then mutters "If its true, remember to look at your past memories and look for your future. . .please don't let your emotion swallows you"
