Perfect Avatar-Chapter 222: No More Regrets
Chapter 222: No More Regrets
Dora and Mercy strolled along the street in silence, with Mercy taking the lead, reminiscent of a farmer guiding his cow to the butcher, in Dora’s perspective. He followed closely behind, feeling a sense of unease.
Mercy had become a pseudo-avatar, yet there was still something lacking in his transformation. He also needed to instruct the girls on handling Wrath’s pressure, but her unexpected request had disrupted his plans.
"... After what happened to you today, I’m impressed that you chose this outcome."
Mercy decelerated slightly, her head drooping as her eyes surveyed the ground.
"This is different."
"Because you’re the aggressor?"
"Because it’s you."
She halted and turned around to meet his gaze. In contrast to her previous display of assurance, her eyes now revealed a sense of melancholy.
"Don’t compare this to... What happened there. I just want to do whatever I want while I still can. I’m done beating around the bush, so from now on, I will do what I want."
"And what you want to do is play birds and bees with me?"
Mercy suppressed a laugh. The night felt cooler than usual, and the crimson mist had a heady taste of excitement and adrenaline.
"It’s your fault for making me like this, I feel very good right now, and I don’t want to think about everything bad that happened. Before, I was... very interested in you. Like a lot."
"I had your brother’s soul stone in me, not curious how I got it?"
"Man..."
With her hands positioned behind her back, she narrowed the gap between them.
"Do you remember our first date after you came back? To me, that day is as important as the day Peet and I spent a day together for the first time after he became a knight. I hated everything... that concerns the world and people, I had a pretty bad environment, but every time I remember the time spent with you, I forget my problem... I... You have become indispensable to me, and I don’t want to waste any more time with you."
She came to a halt right in front of him, her intense gaze locked onto his, but the closer she got, the more evident her trembling became. Dora, however, still felt nothing. Although she spoke sincerely, he struggled to express his emotions.
"The hardest thing about it, all of you... is that you talk like that, you jump on me, and the next day you try to erase me. I don’t understand."
"...I would like to say that we were wrong, that we shouldn’t have but...Zuri told us that she had released the Sin and he used some kind of skill to make you...of a way that we would free him. How do you expect us to do nothing after learning this? How is it wrong? I wish we never knew this... I wish we could stay in this city and have more dates. I just want a normal life... but that will never happen."
She clasped her arms tightly and averted her gaze. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"I’ve lost too much, and as much as you doubt me, I never wanted something like this to happen. I wish I could turn back time... but I’ve learned to live for the future, and you are the one who taught me that. Before, we couldn’t let you go free, but here you are completely free and you’re not killing me... for now... this is the closest to the real Dora that I have seen, so I want to enjoy every moment with you because I know that the next time I lose you, it will be forever... Dora?"
At that precise moment, an extraordinary incident took place. Confronted with the young girl’s attempt to reveal her innermost emotions, Dora displayed a response that was completely unfamiliar to his cultural background.
"...Dora?...What are you doing...are you crying?"
The young boy recoiled in surprise as he felt a slight discomfort on his left cheek. He instinctively reached up to touch his cheek and was taken aback when he realized that a tear was rolling down his face.
In all his memories, he had never seen himself shed a tear before. Anesidora never cries, he had always believed it to be a natural rule. However, on that particular day, not just one, but three Doras experienced the same unusual phenomenon.
Meanwhile, in a distant land, deep within a crater of molten blue lava, Gamma and Omega stopped their destructive rampage, allowing numerous monsters to escape.
Both of them floated in the air, their hands on their cheeks, and a burning sensation in their chests that left them speechless.
In another dark and distant place, Candace also bore witness to this strange event. The main white-eyed Dora materialized in front of her, but his attention was drawn to the peculiar warmth emanating from his chest.
The dean was at a loss for words as the boy, with one hand on his chest and tears welling up in his eyes, appeared to be struggling to breathe. Simultaneously, they all performed the same action, completely unaware of the cause behind their shared experience.
The warmth gradually transformed into a mixture of joy, relief, and happiness, as the tears seemed to cleanse their very souls. For a brief moment, the main Dora wondered if this had something to do with the pressure from Wrath, but the truth was much more distant and elusive.
In another world, another reality, and another Dora lay on the floor of a classroom. His mind briefly wandered, but then he remembered why he was on the ground, causing his eyes to twitch. Sitting at another desk, Midgard looked in his direction with a smile.
"Still as violent as usual."
Dora gradually sat upright, astonishment evident on his face as he observed the reason behind his sudden fall.
"It was just a hello for a friend, Miss Midgard, a nice punch full of love." Elizabeth, with a gentle touch, began to massage her clenched fist.
