Chapter 22 Ominous dream

Tack*

The light had died as the scenario had changed into a whole different scenario. He was no longer standing on the podium while receiving the praises from the folks, instead, he was walking in the warzone where courses were piled up to mountains that covered the area and blood was flowing like a river.

Kua*

The vultures and crows were dancing on the corpses with other beasts which he recognized because they were animals that loved to eat leftovers or carnivores.

" Where am I?"

Andersen spoke while walking amongst the corpses to find the answer which was bothering him since his arrival. He took the glittering piece of the gem from the ground and carefully cleaned it with his clothes. To his horror, it was the thing that he was dreading to see here. Subtitle gem gently gave off mana that was nonaccessible to the mortals that dreamed the impossible.

" Why?"

He asked, sitting on the bloodied ground with a shocked look. He was sure that he gave the wings that mankind always dreamed to get and fly with it, but he was wrong. He created something that shouldn't be created in the first place and that was haunting this dream despite it being just an unreal scene.

" Because you have made this."

A young man who was holding a silver sword appeared before him with a cold look. His perfect platinum hair shone brightly under the sun with perfect brilliance despite blood stains on his armor. He threw the gem to his legs as he looked at him with hatred.

" When you have created this thing for the peace, haven't you considered there would be a possibility that you would lose it? Because of your and your country's mistake, the entire world is burning with the pain and suffering of thousands of innocent souls. You might be revered as the greatest engineer in history, but I will remember you as the greatest villain. Andersen the Great mechanic, I will cut your head and relinquish those souls."

The man said, brandishing his sword with a cold look. Andersen felt fear and terror when facing him, but somehow his body moved on its own. He pulled something out from his waist, shooting the man's chest with great power. The tiny-looking gun burst out with power that rivaled the might of the great mage.

However, the man didn't feel pressure as he cut the light like it was nothing to him. He instantly appeared before him and stabbed him in the guts.

" Guh*"

The blood splattered as Andersen knelt on the floor while looking at those cold eyes like ice. Although he felt his life was slipping away from his grasp, he grabbed the corner of his armor. Unknowingly he couldn't hear what he was saying, but the man's face distorted into a rage.

Crack*

The ground around him cracked like a spiderweb and he was looking at the north with anger. For the first time, a huge emotional wave outbroke from his heart.

" Even so, I won't forgive you."

He said, creating a portal before him. Andersen helplessly watched him fade away to the place where he didn't know.

Diid*

Suddenly, he woke up from the vibrations from the mana device he kept in his pocket. Andersen carefully took out the device, seeing the moving needles his heart was finally relaxed as his tensed body felt sluggish.

" What was that dream?"

He said while rubbing his temple with stress. He looked at his table with a complicated expression because this was the cause of his dream. However, the dream was a dream to him.

He felt the texture of the blanket, knowing someone had visited him during his resting period. His eyes softened when he guessed the owner of this blanket because he used this blanket since he started studying under Zera and Shane.

Cough, cough*

He coughed with a slight blood in his throat.

" My time is limited. Although it is possible to use it as a war weapon, I will dispose of such possibilities."

He spoke, taking out his study formulas again. This time he also took out the ancient records that he was using as reference materials.
