The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

{Note- This chap is Lily's POV}

[Adas, are you okay?]

"..."

[Adas?]

"Yeah. I am okay, Lily"

[Your...eyes]

His left eye is red again, and there are strange marks on the left side of his body.

"What's wrong with my eyes?"

[They are--]

"Anyways, I have to deal with that Dragernix. You wait here, I will be right back"

Is he corrupted? But...I don't sense any corruption in him.The boss almost destroys the palaces...Adas call it Dragernix.

The monsters, we can't defeat them. They are corrupted. Their stats are infinite.

Adas is acting strange too.

I am afraid to talk with him. I don't want him to yell at me like he did that day.

I am scared to--

"Lily. Didn't I tell you to stay there? Why are you coming with me?"

[I am worried about you]

Will he yell at me again?!

"I am worried about you too. I will be sad if something happens to you"

He said in a kind voice with a smile on his face.

He is the Adas I know. The Adas I love.

[You can't defeat them, Adas]

"I have to help Elena"

[I know but--]

"Say Lily, this world is now mine, right"

[Yeah it is but--]

"Does that mean I can do whatever I want?"

[More or less, yes]

"I see"

[What will you do now?]

"Nothing. I just have to teach them a lesson"

[Huh?]

What does he mean?

When we went to the balcony, it was almost shattered. There are cracks in the floor. It can break anytime.

I am flying, but Adas is...huh? Where is the army?

There is no one in the city except Elena, Rikka, and Ricky.

Where did the skeleton army go?

The Dragernix was flying in the sky, all over the city, but where did the army go?

Could it be that Dragernix's breath killed them?

The Dragernix is also corrupted. Does that mean a corrupt can kill corrupted? If yes, then Adas just have to...no! What am I thinking! How can I believe that?

I don't want Adas to act scary again.

The Dragernix is flying far away from the palace. Its flying speed is so much faster than last time. It's even quicker than Adas's sprinter skill.

Adas and others can just log out and...but this world will be destroyed. No, Not only this world. All the worlds, the entire game data will be corrupt, and it will be beyond repair.

If that happens...I will disappear. I don't want to disappear. I know I am being selfish, but I want to be with Adas.

Snap~~

Did Adas just snap?

His snap was so loud that Dragernix heard it and the others too.

This is bad. They will see Adas and the strange marks on him...wait, they can't see it. Adas is facing the other way.

The Dragernix is coming this way...it is acting strange. It was coming this way, but now it is...Adas? What is he doing there? He was just here a while ago!

Adas punched the Dragernix. There are strange marks on his hands too. It's like when he fought with the manticores, but this time his hands are...

Adas is saying something. I can't hear it. I have to go near him.

I went near him. He is walking in the air...no. Whenever he takes a step, a pedestal comes beneath his foot.

"Why must they do this?"

[Huh?]

"Why must this happen?"

What is he saying?

"Why must they hurt my loved ones?"

Roar!~~

Dragernix roared and breathed fire.

[Adas! Get back!]

Adas kept walking. He swung his hand in the air and the fire vanished.

"This is my world. I am the God of this world"

You are, but this shouldn't be possible!

"How dare you do this in my world!"

How is Adas doing this? Could it be that his Mod ability and the system inside him is letting him do whatever he wants?!

"Begone from my sight"

[Adas! wait!]

"What's wrong Lily?"

This is just my guess but...if he can do this, if his system is really doing this, then he can remove the corrupted data from the monsters too.

[Try removing the corruption from the Dragernix]

"How do I do that...why should I do that? Isn't it better to kill it?"

[Just try it]

"Okay. Okay. Why are you ordering me around?"

[Try it]

"Okay! How do I do it?"

[Just imagine it]

"Did you hit your head? Or maybe you are still shocked?"

[....!]

How rude! I am trying my best here, and he is making fun of me.

"I will try it, so stop pouting"

He put his hand on the Dragernix..."Imagine Imagine Imagine"

You don't have to say it out loud!

The marks on the Dragernix disappeared and its size became smaller...hey! Isn't it way too small?

The Dragernix is about my size now!

[Adas? What is the meaning of this?]

"I couldn't imagine anything, so I was thinking of your pouting face and the Dragernix changed into this"

Small Dragernix looks so cute! But...

[So...why is it sitting on your head now?]

"I don't know"

[Hey you! Get down! That's my place to sit]

Roar~~

Even its roar sounds cute!

The marks on Adas body disappeared and his eye is back to normal.

We went down to where Elena and others were.

I didn't get to sit on Adas's head! I hate this Dragernix.

"What was that, Adas?" Elena asked.

"I also have some secret skills"

Don't lie! Why don't you just say that you don't know!

"Are you okay, Lily?" Elena asked.

Why are you worried about me? You should worry about yourself.

[Yeah. I am fine]

Elena is weird.

When I told her I kissed Adas, she got angry, but when I said that he was sleeping, she forgave him.

She is the same as Adas. She is very kind and cares about me. No wonder someone like Adas fell for her.

"What's wrong, Lily? You are smiling for no reason" Elena asked.

"Actually Elena, I think she hit her head somewhere"

[I didn't!]

"Well then, should we log out now?" Ricky said.

"What about this world?"

[Adas rules this world now, so he can rebuild it anytime]

"We can do it now though. It's Sunday anyway" Adas said.

[No. You should log out]

Not only he fought with his cousin today, but the monsters and the strange marks on his body...I hope nothing happens to his real body.

"Fine then. We will log out."

When Adas logs out, I disappear to somewhere I don't remember. I want to be with Adas, but I don't want to trouble him.

All I can do is wait for him to log in again so I can welcome him with a smile.
