Chapter 152 - 151Chapter 151:
The dust settled.
The world was silent.
The explosion had erased everything.
Nothing remained not the castle.
Not even the Hydra.
Everything was gone
Everything as in
The once-grand throne room of the decoy castle was nothing but a crater, a void well not a actual void but a crater where the castles existence had once stood. The walls, the pillars, the Hydra—gone.
Only the faint hum of wind remained, swirling around the shattered landscape. And in the center of it all, untouched by the devastation, stood Meiyo's Sky Hawk Barrier.
Everyone inside was safe.
But Kouki was not.
Meiyo stood frozen, her breath caught in her throat. Her heart pounded against her ribs, a relentless drumbeat of terror.
"Please."
Her Sky Hawk barrier flickered, the golden winds finally dying down. Dust and smoke curled away, revealing the aftermath.
"Please god let him be alive."
She looked around.
"Oh god no."
And saw...
There was nothing left.
Nothing
Except him.
She wanted to sigh but all she saw him but he was not him he was...
A single, lifeless figure.
Kouki's body fell.
From the sky.
From where he once burned like a falling star.
From where he had chosen to die.
Time slowed.
Not literally but for her
The instant his body dropped, Meiyo moved.
She didn't think. She didn't plan. She ran.
And so did Akari.
Kouki hit the ground.
He didn't move.
He didn't breathe.
Meiyo reached him first, skidding to her knees. She grabbed his shoulders, her fingers shaking.
"Kouki—!"
Nothing.
She shook him.
"KOUKI! WAKE UP!"
"DON'T YOU DARE SO THIS TO ME!"
Akari was sobbing. She collapsed beside him, her hands gripping his chest, his face—
Golden eyes.
A familiar smirk.
A voice, smooth and cruel.
"Finally awake, huh?"
Kouki's breath caught.
He knew that voice.
Hikari.
Flashback end
