BXBX NOVEL Chapter 145 - Real Mirage
"I hope he comes back soon," Asteria muttered.
"He should." Emilia leaned on the taffrail and said, "Once he comes back, I am going to fill myself up with his soup."
"What?!" Sophia exclaimed and uttered, "It is my turn."
"Aren\'t you satisfied with the foursome we had last night?"
"What about you then?! I also let you spend the night before yesterday with him. Now be a good girl and let me spend today\'s night with him," Sophia demanded.
"Hihihi." Asteria giggled and tried to hide her mouth.
Emilia nudged Sophia and whispered in her ears, "Why is she giggling all of a sudden?"
"I don\'t know."
"Maybe she lost her mind by missing Nero too much?"
"Whatever it may be, you are to blame."
"What?!"
Asteria stopped giggling and said, "I am sorry for laughing, but you two get along surprisingly well, don\'t you?"
Sophia raised her brows and said, "I think she truly lost her mind by missing Zeus too much."
"I am fine," Asteria replied with puffed cheeks.
"We know. And as for us getting along…" Sophia shook her head and uttered, "Not happening. I have many reasons to hate her."
"Oh?! What do you mean many? I don\'t even remember doing anything to you," Emilia asserted.
"First is, you stole my love from me. The second is, you stole everything from me. The third is, you are a fallen angel, and that makes you my nemesis. Forth is—"
"Alright, you can stop now." Emilia covered her ears and said, "I am not interested in hearing more."
"Heh!" Sophia smirked.
Emilia\'s face twitched after seeing the smug look on Sophia\'s face, so she turned to Asteria and said, "Did you hear that, Asteria?"
"Hm?"
"She said I am a fallen angel, so that makes me her nemesis. And Nero told me you are a part-demon, so can you guess how much Sophia must be hating you?"
Bewildered, Asteria glanced at Sophia from the corners of her eyes and muttered, "Is it true?"
"Yes. Don\'t let her sweet talk charm you. She was trying to take control over you by giving you favors."
"Stop brainwashing her!" Sophia pushed Emilia to the side and hugged Asteria: "DOn\'t listen to her. She was the one who was brainwashing you."
SPLASH!
Sophia\'s ears flinched as she heard the splashing sound.
She looked at Asteria only to find her looking at the sea with a horrified look on her face.
She turned to look at Emilia, but she wasn\'t there.
"Don\'t tell me—!"
Sophia immediately rushed to look down at sea and saw Emilia climbing the ship in wet clothes.
SIGH~!
Sophia sighed in relief and helped Emilia get on the ship.
Emilia dried herself up under the sun and conjured new clothes around her body.
She stared at Sophia with a lifeless glare in her eyes and uttered, "I will tell Nero you pushed me off the ship and tried to kill me by drowning me."
"I told you it was a mistake. I had no idea you would fall into the sea just by a little push."
"Nero knows you said you would drown me to death, and you pushed me into the sea." Emilia smirked and said, "I can\'t wait for him to come back."
"Are you blackmailing me?" Sophia asked the obvious.
"I just want to—"
Emilia, Asteria, and Sophia\'s eyes widened in unison as they glanced around.
"Did you feel that?" Sophia asked.
"Yeah."
"I did." Asteria nodded.
"What was that?" Emilia asked with a concerned look on her face.
Sophia activated her Angel\'s sight to look around, but her view was being blocked by something.
Asteria impatiently pulled Sophia\'s sleeves with a horrified look on her face and pointed her finger at the sea: "Something is wrong. A while ago, there was a small island, but now it\'s not there."
"It\'s not just the island…" Emilia climbed to the top of the ship and said, "There is nothing around us."
They were in a never-ending sea, and there was no land in their sight. There was nothing but a silent sea and no sign of life, not even fishes in the sea or the birds in the sky.
"What happened. Are we trapped in a domain?" Asteria panicked and started trembling.
"I think we activated some ancient spell by triggering something," Sophia answered.
"No." Emilia jumped down on the deck and asserted, "This is not a domain or anything. We are under the effect of the spell. And this is reality, not a dream."
She frowned her face and muttered, "Who dares to keep me away from my Nero?"
Sophia placed her hand on Emilia\'s head and said, "Calm down. We need to figure out the spell\'s property so we can get out of here. And getting angry won\'t help us."
Asteria hugged Sophia\'s arm and muttered, "Someone is watching us."
Sophia gritted her teeth and uttered inwardly, \'She realized it.\'
Sophia was trying to handle the situation by keeping Emilia and Asteria calm, but her plan failed.
DRIP~
They heard the sound of water dripping from the right side, so they all looked to the right.
DRIP!
They heard the sound of water dripping again, but this time, it was from the left side. When they glanced to the left, nothing was there.
DRIP~
This time, it was from the back.
"I will look to the right. Emilia, you look at the left. And Asteria, you look back, okay?" Sophia advised.
As they were waiting for the sound to occur again, the ship shook in a wave, as though there was something beneath the ship in the water.
The water splashed in a wave, and a giant skeletal hand came out of the sea.
"Uh… uh…" Sophia cast a barrier around Emilia, Asteria, and herself.
The next moment, the seawater rose, and a colossal fighter of a skeletal titan emerged from the sea.
