The Martial Unity

Chapter 2012 Motherly Involvement

An eternity passed.

Or at least, that was how Rui felt when he opened his eyes. An eternity may as well have passed.

For a moment, he couldn't remember.

He couldn't remember where he was.

He couldn't remember the last thing he remembered.

His blurred version grew clearer as he saw the sky.

The sky of the manifold.

His eyes widened as his recollection came through, triggered by the visual stimulus.

Two years worth of memories flooded through his mind as he recollected his entering the dungeon, his meeting with the Divine Doctor, the two years of preparation for Operation Prisonbreak, his battle and breakthrough against the Chimera, and, of course…

"…Who am I?"

His Martial Drive shuddered at the question. His eyes were vacant.

Hollow.

His body loosened as he felt like a walking corpse.

Not even the inheritance of the Elder Tree made him feel that way. His Martial Drive had protected him from the worst of the inheritance, merely causing him to suffer a drastic shift in emotional quotient.

Yet, the Divine Doctor's words had struck him harder than anything the Elder Tree could have ever mustered up.

It attacked the very root of his drive.
