Chapter 52: Truth or Dare 4

After watching the number 1 make a joke out of herself Marvin's smiling expression became serious for the first time.

The temperature instantly became colder and colder as he started walking towards the girl who was still immersed in her own drama.

"Number 1."

An emotionless voice that came from behind her instantly sent shivers down number 1's spine.

Finally, remembering her surroundings she couldn't help feeling scared once again.

"Please complete your dare."

Marvin's words instantly managed to provoke her as she once again forgot the fear of death and instead of complying she attacked him.

Thorny vines burst out of the ground and started to attack Marvin at the girl's command.

"Die you bastard...DIE." She screamed but before the attack managed to hit the man, a bright light descended from above and killed the girl.

The next second smile returned to Marvin's face as if his cold expression was just an illusion.

"Well then, shall we continue." He said and without waiting for anyone's reply went back to his spot.

Now it was Ron's turn. Sadly, he was already dead.

Number 4, the guy that was not a necrophiliac was a mystery to everyone, from his looks to his personality.

It was a cruel truth but everyone couldn't wait to see what kind of dare he would have to do.

"Your dare is to destroy the most important thing you own."

The room became quieter than ever, everyone was waiting for the man's reaction. Finally, one man in the audience couldn't help but speak after seeing the motionless man.

"Just do it, life is more important."

Others also couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement but the man seemingly unbothered by the noise around him slowly reached in the inside pocket of his clothes and took out a small item.

It was a handmade wooden toy horse. Time has damaged it quite badly but the man still lovingly caressed its surface as if it was a heavenly treasure.

His actions brought surprise and confusion to people.

"That trash can't be his most important item right?" Asked a young girl with uncertainty.

"I am ready." Said the man as he looked at Marvin with no intention to do anything to the horse.

Everyone understood his intentions, the man from earlier once again shouted at him.

"Hey, stop messing around already, it's just a piece of crappy wood, you are the last member of our team in the game."

Turns out number 1, 4, and 9 were in the same team, and with the other 2 dead he was the only one alive.

"He won't do it." For the first time since the start of the game Morana spoke out drawing attention to herself.

"What?" Asked the man from before with annoyance.

Morana looked at the man with a dead expression as she repeated her words.

"He won't do it."

"Shut up kid, what do you know. There is no way he will choose that crappy wood over his life." Said the man.

"That crappy wood as you call it is much more important to him than his life. He won't be able to do it."

Said Morana as she once again turned her whole attention to the game.

"What do you mean?" Asked the young girl who was on the same team as the man.

"It's a keepsake."

"A keepsake?" Asked Zoel.

"Hmm."

"How do you know?" Asked Emir.

"Who keeps a damaged wooden toy horse in their inner pocket?"

Understanding what kind of stupid question he asked Emir couldn't help coughing in embarrassment.

'Sure enough, Rana/sister is the smartest.' Were the thoughts of two stupid sis cons.

In reality, this wasn't the only reason Morana was sure he wouldn't destroy the horse. The main reason was that she managed to read his thoughts and for the first time she managed to even feel the true feelings of others.

At first, she was very confused. Be it this life or her last life, she has never felt anything ever since she was seven.

There was never anger, happiness, heartache, remorse there was nothing. Her world never had colors in the name of feelings and she didn't know how to react to feeling someone else's.

'Seems like this ability of mine is much more mysterious than I thought, one truly can't underestimate the power of ancient tire ability.

Different from my space affinity that came from that unknown blood and gave me a demigod race this ability is much more complicated.

Because the space ability comes from my blood I don't need any fancy practice as long as there is imagination and my general magical cultivation is high I can do anything as long as I have enough power, but seer affinity is different, it needs special practice even the knowledge affinity she was born with can't be used just like that.

After I get out of this city I really need to concentrate on powering up, that reminds me

Jolly, what happened to the thing we got in the Beast village?'

[Master, the merge was completed a long time ago, you can check it out once you have some free time.]

'Hmm'

Finally, remembering that she was in the middle of a sentimental moment Morara's attention turned back to listening to her surroundings.

The next second just as Morana predicted number 4 couldn't do the dare and was killed while still holding the wooden horse.

The moment his mana core shuttered, he couldn't help looking at the toy once again as some moments of his life appeared right in front of his eyes.

Once again he saw the image of a beautiful boy about the age of 5 and couldn't help but feel that dying was worth it as he got to see him once again.

"E...Emilio." Was his last word, while none of the present could understand this peculiar man, well maybe except Morana who just got a glimpse into his world.
