Chapter 652 Deep Sadness
"Yes, she is." replied Angus absentmindedly.
Currently, Angus is not only dazzled by Jayna's appearance but also by Jayna's previous vision. Before making the fire spark, she could see countless transparent spirits before her. Most of these people are wearing heart kingdom armor.
Along with the tiny beautiful fire sparks, all these restless souls slowly disappear following the spark in the wind. It is as if Jayna sends them to their final resting place. This scene is so unique that Angus is completely awestruck and it gives him a melancholy sensation.
While this happens, Mira and Darren also witness this scene above the sky. After finding the hall boring, she looks at the memorial rites from the sky.
Unlike the others who couldn't see the restless spirits, Mira and Darren could see it clearly.
"Master, This is…" said Darren before feeling a familiar invisible wave coming from Mira.
During this time, the whole world stops moving. Even the brightest star in the sky stops rotating. Everything stops as if someone pushes a pause button. Suddenly, Anna appeared beside Mira with some messy food leftover on her cheek.
"Mira, why did you push the pause button again?" asked Anna while cleaning her cheek and mouth. (A/N: The question seems familiar.)
"Anna, you are lucky." said Mira.
"Huh?!" asked Anna in confusion.
"I thought she was only an ordinary little phoenix. But, it turned out to be the primordial one. I couldn't help but want to know the next story." said Mira excitedly.
"Phoenix? Primordial one? Mira, is Big Sis Jayna different from an ordinary phoenix?" asked Anna.
"Silly, girl. Of course. She is different. She is not just a phoenix but the mother of them. I take back what I said before. You may not die and stay with them forever." said Mira.
"Really? How?" asked Anna in confusion.
*BEEP* *SPOILER ALERT!!* *BEEP* *SPOILER ALERT!!* *BEEP* Suddenly, Mira holds a big red button and presses it with her little hand. The button released a thunderous annoying alarm sound that Anna couldn't help but close her ears.
"Alright! Alright!! I don't want to know anymore. Stop that stupid spoiler alert alarm!!" screamed Anna.
"Huh?! What did you say? I can't hear you." said Mira with a mischievous smile.
(A.N: Now, we know why Anna has become more naughty lately.)
"Urgh… Mira!!" called Anna while pleading.
The annoying alarm sounded until a few minutes before it went off.
"Hic… Hic... I feel like going deaf. Look, even your toy is broken." said Anna while massaging her ears.
"Hmm?" replied Mira before seeing Darren, who had already turned into minced meat.
When Mira stopped the whole world, Darren stopped moving and stayed beside her. As Mira pressed the alarm button, the loud sound destroyed every part of his body.
In fact, the red button Mira pressed can produce a loud sound bomb that almost reaches the singularity state. It is known that the singularity state is when a force of nature turns into a black hole. Reaching a singularity point or state requires almost infinite dense force.
Just a little bit of this force is enough to destroy even the whole planet. If Mira didn't deliberately control and contain the sound bomb alarm, the entire firuman would disappear before anyone noticed. Unfortunately, Darren is located too close to this sound bomb alarm.
"Don't worry about him. I could fix him anytime. Go back to your place and continue eating. Using this move makes me quite tired." said Mira before laying on the flying pillow again.
"Liar!! This is just like a simple stretch for you." retorted Anna.
"That's why it is tiring. If I want to, I don't want to move at all. But, this excitement. Urgh… It's hard to calm down. Anna, let's go somewhere after this." said Mira.
"Alright. Alright. Good thing you have an understanding best friend like me." said Anna.
"Yay! You are the best." said Mira before snapping her hand.
Suddenly, Anna disappears and returns to Angus' arm while the whole world moves again. Mira also turns back into a cold silent girl. As for Darren, his body is already completely intact.
"This feeling... Did I just die again?" asked Darren.
"Weak." said Mira shortly.
"Forgive, My Lady. After I go back, I will double.. No triple my training." said Darren.
As the faithful servant of Mira, Darren had already lost count of how many times he died under Mira's casual movement. Once, he almost died because Mira suddenly sighed harder than usual.
This is also why she mostly never expresses herself and speaks in few words. Once she gets too excited or does something a little bit harder, she may destroy the whole world.
Although she could easily fix it, she is also too lazy to fix it every time she does things. Fortunately, she created a fail-safe like this time. Whenever she gets too excited at a certain level. She will automatically stop the whole world.
As the world moved again, Angus blinked a few times before looking at the surroundings in confusion.
'What was that?! I am certain something happened, but nothing has changed.' thought Angus inwardly.
On the other hand, Anna continues eating her snack while looking at Jayna's performance like nothing happened. She also trying to catch the beautiful fire spark.
After finishing the last rite, Jayna retreats and returns to the stage to King Leon. Unlike before, she immediately went down from the podium and disappeared.
At the same time, Angus could feel Jayna's struggle and immediately disappear from the hall. A moment later, they already hug each other while Anna is in the middle of them.
"Angus…" called Jayna softly while crying hard.
"Hush… It's okay. We are here." said Angus gently.
Before the last rite, Jayna feels like she is entering a trance. Yet, also aware of the surroundings. Then, her emotional sense of power went wild but also controlled.
Before she knew it, she had already created a sad melodic tune in the air and summoned all the restless souls from the whole Heart Kingdom. Then, her body moves independently, like she has practiced many times.
The initial plan is to create a small fireball and let it fly to the sky rather than making countless scattered fire sparks. Now, Jayna still feels the side effect of the previous emotion sense.
Despite already using [Heart of Perseverance] and [Arctic Heart], she couldn't handle the intense sadness in her heart.
It is as if she bears all the sorrow of the whole kingdom. Jayna kept crying for a long time while Angus and Anna tried to support her.
"Big sis, it's okay. Anna is here." said Anna while snuggling her face to Jayna.
"Yes. We are here. Just let it all out." said Angus.
*Swish* A moment later, King Leon arrived at their location.
"What happened?" asked King Leon with his usually stoic face.
However, Angus could see the erratic mana movement from the King's body. It is as if he holds himself to not exploding.
"*Sigh* Jayna's power goes wild during the last rite. She should be fine after a while." explained Angus.
"Are you sure?" asked King Leon while seeing his daughter crying without end.
"Yes. Don't worry. I will not let anything happen to her." said Angus.
King Leon said nothing before touching them and [Blink] the three of them into his chamber.
"Use as much time as you want to rest here. I will go first." said King Leon before [Blink] again.
Angus could only smile at the worried King before dragging Jayna and Anna to the soft bed. He let Jayna lay on the bed while still under his arm. Despite saying that Jayna will be fine, he knows Jayna's mind is almost collapsing.
Jayna also has various strong barriers in her mind put by King Leon and Angus. These barriers protect her mind from [Possession] and her phoenix power. This is a failsafe method to preserve her mind in case her power goes wild.
Unfortunately, King Leon and Angus never thought her phoenix transcended their calculation and bypassed these barriers. It is already a miracle that Jayna's mind didn't collapse and stay sane.
Angus knows if someone's mind reaches a certain limit, they will shut down on her own. He also didn't dare to use any calming spell of fear to worsen her situation and lead her to total mind shut down. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
"Jayna." called Angus to keep distracting Jayna.
"Angus.." replied Jayna softly.
After staring at each other for a moment, "It's okay. I am fine now. It's just an aftereffect." reassured Jayna while tears still flowed down from her eyes.
"Are you sure?" asked Angus.
"Yes. Actually… I.. I am not sure either." said Jayna.
"What's wrong?" asked Angus worriedly.
"When I did the.. the last rite, I felt like entering the dreamy state. I could feel all the sadness, but somehow numb to it. This kind of thing never happened before." explained Jayna.
"Alright, don't worry about it. We will think about it later. For now, just rest." said Angus.
*ZZZzzz* During this time, they hear a faint snoring sound. The couple glances at their side and finds Anna sleeping peacefully while hugging the blanket and pillow like she owns the place.
