Reborn into A Slash Game Chapter 47 - Been with Him for the Longest Time

Chapter 47 - Been with Him for the Longest Time

Suo Fei abruptly opened his eyes and looked around, wondering where Samael was.

However, his eyes were clearly open yet he could not see anything. All he could see was utter darkness, as if he was blind.

Suo Fei groped around but felt nothing. The place was empty. He tried to walk but he couldn’t tell whether he was actually walking forward.

This strange feeling that Suo Fei was unable to define made him unable to feel his own existence.

Suo Fei had no way of judging the time. It seemed like a long time had pa.s.sed, yet it also seemed to have only been a short while. His heart gradually calmed down from its deeply anxious state. He almost thought that there would be no end to this desolation when a trace of light suddenly flashed.

As if he had grasped onto a life-saving straw, Suo Fei ran towards the light and he fell into it.

The place was as bright as day. Suo Fei squinted as his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

It was astounding.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness all around him that seemed like shrouds of fog or a ma.s.sive white wall. He didn’t touch it as his attention had been drawn by the video playing beside him.

That’s right, a video.

It was just like watching a 3D movie. A surround sound was even used.

Suo Fei watched intently. There was a little baby on the screen. Then, an old lady appeared and attentively took care of the baby. The child gradually grew up, evoking a smile from the old lady. Suo Fei’s eyes immediately reddened. The old lady turned out to be his grandmother. Suo Fei couldn’t remember how many years he had not seen his grandma thus his tears fell at the sight of her.

The slowed-down clips were his memory. His past memories. Suo Fei watched them earnestly. There were some that he couldn’t remember while there were also some that seemed as if it had happened yesterday, immensely unforgettable.

The video sped up. When Suo Fei saw his grandma’s last smile, the video became even faster. It reached the time when he lived alone and stayed cooped up inside his home playing games energetically until he played 《Yalance》.

Then, the speed became faster. He saw Vixanne, Grantlyn, Manzy and then he met Samael in the Knuhl Forest.

Like a bystander, he watched everything that happened over the past more than two years in Knuhl Forest, Mauer City, Dwarven Territory, Benesse City and Bois Canyon. He went to all of these places together with Samael.

He suddenly realised that he had never separated from Samael ever since he met him.

In his short life, apart from his grandma whom he had depended on when he was younger, it was Samael who had been with him for the longest time.

And he only realised it at this moment.

He saw Samael holding him at the waist. He lowered his head slightly and kissed him gently on his forehead. There was a trace of softness in his purple eyes as he moved carefully in fear of waking him up.

Suo Fei fixedly looked on and felt himself blush up to his ears. He vaguely felt it for the past more than two years but he had never seen it as clear as it was at that moment.

He and Samael are too intimate. Friends would not act this way…

The scene was still playing, but the speed became much faster. Suo Fei saw the two of them in Bois Canyon. He tried to kill a ferocious beast on his own but failed so he was rescued by Samael. He tried again and failed again. This cycle continued until he managed to kill a fifth-grade ferocious beast by himself.

Rejoicing over his success, he happily hugged the little cub and jumped up and down.

Samael smilingly looked on by the side. The smile was very faint, but for a person who did not like to smile, this smile came from the bottom of his heart, genuine and pure, filled with indulgence and pampering.

If this was actually a video, Suo Fei would like to pause the screen on this smile. He looked at it dazedly. His heartbeat was extremely fast as if something couldn’t help but burst out.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed it down and continued watching. The scene played so fast that it was almost impossible for the human eye to see. However, since it was his own memory, Suo Fei was barely able to postulate where it was progressing.

A crack appeared in the sky, they entered the crack… Tenth-grade ferocious beasts… Violent ma.s.sacre…

…… Wait. Suo Fei watched in shock. It had already reached the present time, but the video was still playing. It was just that it was too fast that it was impossible to see it clearly. It was as if a large number of pictures had been compiled together into an extremely fast slideshow.

Suo Fei was shocked. If the previous scenes are my past, what is on the screen at this moment then? Is it my future?

Suo Fei instantly became more alert because of this realisation. He desperately wanted to see the contents, but the speed was so fast that his eyes could not take it all in. He could not see anything else apart from the riot of colours.

The more anxious he was, the more he was unable to see it clearly. He was given the opportunity to foresee the future but he couldn’t grasp it. Suo Fei was depressed.

Just when he was about to give up, the video suddenly slowed down.

Suo Fei was joyful, thinking about how much he’d be able to see and what he would be able to see. Would Vixanne survive? Would Grantlyn get his retribution? Would he and Samael… still be together?

He watched with great interest. There was a black screen at first, then it suddenly lit up. Suo Fei’s eyes widened. He abruptly closed his eyes after the screen became a vast expanse of whiteness.

He saw it. He saw his chest being pierced. The blood dyed his clothes red and painted the whole scene crimson. Then, the video that had been continuously playing stopped, plunging into darkness.

Suo Fei stood in a daze, his eyes unblinking. He saw his own death. It was the Asura Blade that ended his life.

The familiar pure black sword guzzled the blood pouring out from his chest, mercilessly robbing his life.

He saw the arm of the swordsman. The sleeve was black and only the cuff was adorned with a silver pattern. The exposed hand was fair and slender. It held the sword in a casual yet elegant manner.

He was very casual. It wasn’t as if he was killing someone, but as if he was only casually raising his hand.

Suo Fei’s mind was in chaos. He would die, not in an accident, but because he would be killed. This was not impossible. But why would he be killed by the Asura Blade? Although he did not see the appearance of the swordsman, Asura Blade was a Divine Artifact that was bound by blood. No one except Samael could activate it.

And he was killed by the activated Asura Blade. Isn’t it obvious what this means?

He… would be killed by Samael.

Why?

Why would Samael kill him…

The scene kept replaying in Suo Fei’s mind, like a curse that struck a chill into his heart, spreading fear within him. Why…

Did he do something wrong?

The vast expanse of whiteness that surrounded him disappeared and returned to the boundless darkness he was initially in. Suo Fei couldn’t see himself or anyone else. He didn’t know where he was. There was only the last scene stuck in his mind. The bloodstains all over his clothes, the merciless blade, and the person’s cold and indifferent appearance.

Pow……

A loud explosion sounded. The place filled with boundless darkness began to shatter.

It was as if a gigantic black curtain was being torn apart. Light shone through the gaps, invading the darkness. He was not surrounded by nothingness any longer. Suo Fei slowly raised his head and caught sight of an extremely beautiful face. It was an appearance that could not be replicated by any craftsman. His slightly droopy eyes could send pulses racing out of control.

It was Samael.

Suo Fei blankly looked up. The next moment, he was tightly embraced by Samael. The hands around his waist were clasped extremely firmly, but Suo Fei did not sense any pain at all.

He only sensed a familiar scent and a familiar warmth. Everything was familiar, so familiar that he could not be any more familiar with it. He also became so at ease that he could not be any more at ease.

Samael’s voice was somewhat hoa.r.s.e: “It’s okay. I’m here.”

His voice was extremely low, but it rushed straight into Suo Fei’s heart, causing him to tremble ever so slightly. He hesitantly responded by reaching out to hug Samael. Samael stiffened but the hands holding onto Suo Fei’s became firmer, almost as if he wanted their flesh to melt into each other.

He spoke softly, “There is a Magic Array of Time here where you will see many things. If you get absorbed in it, you may be thoroughly devoured.”

Suo Fei was stunned. At this time, he finally got over the last scene he saw. He then smelled a faint trace of blood in the air. He broke free from Samael’s embrace and saw a long cut on his arm, straight from his shoulder to the wrist. The blood had already stopped flowing, but the tearing of the wound was bloodcurdling.

He was caught in a daze earlier so he didn’t pay much attention. It was only at this moment that he discovered that Samael’s complexion was absurdly pale. It was apparent that he had lost a lot of blood.

He didn’t know whether it was because Samael was dealing with the hordes of ferocious beasts or because he forcibly destroyed the magic array in front of him.

Suo Fei didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he took out a large amount of beast blood from his interspatial bag and quickly handed it to Samael. Seeing Samael drinking it up, he subsequently raised Samael’s arm and gently kissed the wound.

A short while later, Samael’s hideous wound recovered and Suo Fei was finally relieved.

Suo Fei quickly transferred a large portion of the beast blood from his interspatial bag and stored it in Samael’s interspatial bag. The beast blood was neatly arranged by him using the sorting spell and they were stored in moderately-sized jars. These jars had been specifically ordered by Suo Fei. Although it was only the size of a beer gla.s.s, its actual capacity was as large as a water tank. Spatial magic had been installed inside it for it to be able to store more beast blood.

Suo Fei busily supplied Samael’s beast blood. Once he had finished, he attached the interspatial bag back to Samael’s waist. Samael’s complexion had also regained some of its colour.

Suo Fei saw the Asura Blade from the corner of his eyes and he couldn’t help but be startled, quickly s.h.i.+fting his eyes away.

Without much thought, he asked, “What did you see?”

He immediately regretted asking the question. It was difficult to talk about so why did he mention this? He knew Samael’s past better than anyone else, so why did he mention it again and expose his scars?

Samael was undisturbed as he replied, “It’s just some illusions. It’s not real.”

Suo Fei looked up at him. It wasn’t real? How come?

Samael explained, “Except for the memories after meeting you, nothing else belongs to me.”

Suo Fei was confounded by this sentence. He instinctively understood that Samael didn’t want to mention those past events. Indeed, nothing good happened in the past. Discarding those memories was the right thing to do.

Thus, he stopped asking.

However, Samael asked him in return, “You?”

The scene where he was pierced by the Asura Blade instantly resurfaced in his mind. Suo Fei looked up at Samael who was also looking at him. His eyes were like a beautiful amethyst, but there was only his reflection in that crystal.

The memory of the past two years lucidly rushed into his mind.

This person had always been with him, guarding him, protecting him.

How could he suspect him?

Suo Fei stared into his eyes and asked upfront, “Will there ever be a day where you’ll point your sword towards me?”

Samael straight-forwardly answered, “That would absolutely never happen.”

I believe you.

The gloom in Suo Fei’s heart completely dissipated and his eyes were filled with joy. Standing on tiptoe, he kissed those pale pink lips.
