Chapter: 25, End of the Forgotten Shore
Half a day later…
The sleeper army arrived at the scene. They wore shocked expressions to see the destruction and corpses on the battlefield. The wounds on the abominations' bodies were fresh, dealt no more than a day ago.
As they followed behind the shadows, their faces became more solemn as the rank of the nightmare creatures increased the more they walked.
At the end, they entered the central hall. They were shocked to see a man sitting right at the center of the hall on a raised stone platform in a lotus position.
Many questions appeared in their minds. Who is this person? Why is he here and the harrowing creatures dead? Did this person kill all those creatures? Questions like these filled everyone's minds.
Breaking their daze and questions, the shadows stopped and stood silently and made them stop as well. Jin walked over and knelt in front of the man. Out of the corner, Aura also appeared and kneeled down.
Jin said, making all the sleepers stunned "Sir. Everything has been prepared. The sleepers are here."
Aura also added "The terror is dead and the gateway is ready, we can head to the Waking World."
All the sleepers were shocked. They couldn't believe that the mighty person who even they all together cannot defeat could kneel before someone they barely knew.
Some of the people recognized Noir who entered the dark city together with Jin. But they never thought that the former would be Jin's senior.
Noir opened his eyes and stood up to face both of them, he spoke slowly as if to order them
"Okay. Lead all of them to the gateway."
Both Jin and Aura nodded and looked back at the sleepers, Jin said "Everyone, Follow Aura to the Gateway, you don't' have much time since the gate will vanish in about an hour. So hurry up."
As soon as the sleepers heard him, they all were restless and hurriedly followed behind her. Scrambling to rush ahead and get out of this hellish place where they stayed for years.
They all rushed and made a noisy atmosphere. After that, all of them looked at the shimmering gate and cried emotionally.
They were finally getting out and gonna meet their families after a long time. One by one, they all entered the gateway. As all the sleepers left through the shimmering gate. Sunny jumped at Noir and hugged him tightly.
She felt the excitement that rushed through her skin by the warm embrace of his. She leaned ahead to kiss him, but Noir stopped her.
"Wait, will you? Wait until we separate both consciousnesses before we try anything intimate." He said to her,
Sunny bowed her head with disappointment but didn't try again. She just hugged him tighter and enjoyed the warmth.
Cassie, who heard them, was jealous but Aura came at her from behind. Touching her body with gentleness as Cassie became excited and said
"What? Jealous? Don't worry; I will make you happy soon once we finish the complicated work."
Cassie just nodded silently.
Nephis came close to Jin and said "W-would Suho mind calling me mom? I-if he doesn't mind, maybe I can try…"
Jin smiled as he looked at her gently. Nephis became flustered as he looked at her, her heart excited. Eventually Jin replied
"He won't mind, completely opposite instead. He will dance in joy of getting someone to call mom.
"So, I don't think it will be a problem getting into our family."
Nephis blushed hearing his words. On the other side, Sunny's consciousness was more heartbroken looking at the lovey-dovey scene.
[Host, I am telling you, give me a physical body, so I can get that dragon badie. If I lose the chance of losing her, I will make sure I self-destruct with you, Isekaing both of us without Truck-Kun.]
Iris said and Noir couldn't help but look at the stupidly beautiful woman standing beside Effie, who was trying to hide her excited grin. Kai stood there, shyly looking at them with her fingers clumsily covering her eyes, but she could still see them.
Noir walked towards them and getting close to Kai, he asked "Why the hell are you so beautiful, bitch?"
Kai blushed, his flaw telling her that his words were true. She somehow liked his mean way of talking.
Noir clearly noticed her change and said teasingly "why are you reacting like that? Don't tell me that you have masochistic tendencies."
Kai again got the affirmative answer from her flaw and blushed more intensely.
Effie, not wanting to be left out, interrupted their flirtatious moment and said "Hey! don't you think this is unfair to me? Why am I the only one left out?"
Noir looked at her and teased her "How is it unfair? You'll be the first one to bear my child, so shouldn't they get more attention before you?"
Effie got a blush on her face maybe for the first time ever but she still was much more composed than others. She punched him on the chest lightly and said with an aggrieved look "So what! Can't you just give me some more attention? It's not like you don't lack people to give attention, so why not a bit more?"
Noir chuckled and replied "You're right; I do need girls to divide my attention. So I think I will agree to your suggestion" he said as she leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
Effie didn't avoid his advances and accepted his kiss. Kai and Sunny were jealous of her. Sunny couldn't do it because of restrictions but Kai pouted at him and asked "What about ME!"
Noir smiled and gave her a kiss as well. Kissing a beautiful woman like Kai, made his 'little brother' stand excitedly.
He coughed, trying to avoid anyone's eyes and said "Okay, let's go to the waking world."
As they entered the shimmering gate, Noir got back to the familiar black void of the spell…
