See, You Are In A Different World

27

People went in as they saw Troy looks at Apate, phones began spotlighting them as Amis looked at them curiously, Hässlicher than pointed two of his guns to Apate as a sign of threat. It was a cold air breezed in as threat slowly increase, Troy gave her a menacing gaze as Apate stare him at his soul.

“Tell me, who are you? And why are you here?” Troy coldly asked Apate. She then chuckled as she gave him a small smile.

“Don’t you get it? I've come here to take your lives, what else.” She said, chills began spinning on Troy's spine, he then stares at her one more time. The sun above them tried to keep him warm but it was too cold in his skin.

“Well then, you'll have to take on me first!” Troy said as Double Edge came in, he grabbed the spear and then charged to Apate. Heather and Ayame were shocked and decided to make their move as they tried to stop him. 

“TROY! WAIT!” Heather said as she tried to stop the charging Roman to the unknown woman. Ayame then ran to him but it was too late, Apate then giggled as her eyes then glow in raven red. The ground began cracking, people were horrified and tried running away but was tangled by the c***k, Troy stopped as he saw them but it was too late. Darkness then swallowed everything as the c***k turned red, the world slowly become darker and darker. Troy look around as he saw his friends slowly disappearing into the darkness, it was slowly turning into a void. 

The echoing of maniacal laughter continued on as the world was devoured by darkness. Troy then tried to charge toward Apate's former position, he then sliced his spear to the unknown but there was nothing there, he still heard the laughter of mockery. 

“Guys?” Troy said in the darkness, he couldn't hear anything back, just emptiness and nothingness. 

“Well, how do you like this? Being lonely once more? Isn't this the cause of your death before you were reborn in this world?” Apate said to him as Troy's PTSD then triggered in, he recalled his days in the roman empire filled with cold memories that he wished it wouldn't come back. Apate felt Troy's shiver as he recalls everything, she then laughed at him as the roman slowly losing sanity. 

“Come on, fight me, you're a woman, right? The civilization that carved and paved the world for the future, or that was just a myth then?” she mocked him one more, Troy tried to grabbed on to his spear as he charged from the voice heard from, but he just sliced nothing. 

As he lastly sliced into the nothingness, Apate finally appeared in a distance behind him. He looked back at her as chills then crawled upon his body, he tried to hold of himself but Apate kept on pulling him away from sanity.

“AraAra~ such a pathetic soul, no wonder why Heather had no choice to live with you.” Apate mocked him once more, he tried charging to her again but in a blink of an eye, the world came back, everything went back to normal but he was falling from the tall building [Hotel], he was fearing that he might die but something grabbed him, it was Heather, who was concerned about him. They landed on the ground safely as the others were worried about Troy, inside of him he was panicking but he tried to be calm for everyone.

As he thought it was finally over, Apate was there in front of them, looking at him menacingly. This was the first time Troy felt trauma, he mightn’t know to happen. Troy stepped down and Amis came up to sure Apate would get what she did to Troy, Hässlicher then followed him as they gaze on to the deity. 

“You should apologize to you, woman!” Amis said as he defended Troy. She then laughed at him. 

“Do you think a deity should apologize to such a weak soul? I don't think so.” Apate said to Amis, he then clenched his fist, he apologized as he might break his honor as he prepares his sword to battle the deity. 

“And if you think about striking me, you should know my powers aren't Atomic based.” She said, Ayame then stood up as Amis didn't know what she meant.

“What does she mean?” Amis asked Ayame.

“It means she doesn't use the same powers as us but she has powers that can manipulate the senses.” She said as Apate grinned.
