This Is Not Time Travelling

e Replica becomes immobilized when large and sharp icicles of ice appeared above the Replica falling and hitting it.

The crystallized Replica shattered as if it was pieces of glass, and what was left was the core still hovering in the air. A lance appears in front of Remy, he took it and sprints toward the Replicas core, he must destroy it.

”Hiarghh!!!! ” He screamed and trusts his lance to the core, but his attack was stopped. As if there was an invisible wall. He can get his lance to touch the core. Remy jumps back to the ground.

”Thread: Lock. ”

”Thread: Weft, Warp. ”

”Thread: Slice. ” Even though unseen by the eyes, the loud clashing and slashing sounds can tell, that even Dylans strongest threads cannot pierce through the invisible wall.

”What do we do now? ” Remy asked them. The Replica began to rebuild itself. At that moment, Aurielle began to feel the fear, she supposedly felt from the beginning of the fight.

The Replica finally completed its shape and looked at them with grim.

”Argh! ” Without notice, Dylan was thrown to the back, he got hit by a surprise attack; The Replica used a large stone. It caught them off guard, Aurielle was shocked to see him bleeding and collapsing near the wall.

”Dylan! ” Aurielle souted.

”Watch out, Aurielle! ” Remy pushed her hard to the back. She saw him getting whipped by the Replicas tail and went flying far to the left side of the room.

”Remy! ” She called out. Remy has taken a deadly blow, all because she didn pay attention to their enemy. The Replica slowly approaches her. Aurielle was now glued to the floor, petrified.

”Ice Magic: Ice Arrows! ” She heard Remys voice. The Replica stops as the arrows kept hitting it, and some of its parts fall to the ground. Aurielle looked in the direction of the coming arrows. Remy was limping with drops of blood dripping from his head.

”Yo! Don touch our, boss lady. ” He smirked. Aurielle was touched to see him still alive. She felt her body get pulled up.

”Dylan… ” Aurielles voice shakes, holding her tears.

”Don worry, Im fine too. Just caught me off guard. ” Dylan smiles, and he pats her head.

”We need to focus now. Lets figure out how to defeat that thing. ” Dylan suggested, she nodded to his statement.

=================================

Seconds, minutes, and hours have passed. The three of them were barely alive. Aurielle herself had gotten a few bruises and blood dripping from the Replicas attacks. It was unstoppable. Remy all of a sudden fell to the ground, unconscious.

”Oh no. Remy, wake up. ” Aurielle rested his head on her lap, trying to wake him up. He has been taking the most damage and using the most mana compared to the two of them. While Aurielle and Dylan can only focus on defense. It was a miracle that Remy was able to even stand after 2-hour long fight.

”This is bad. ” Dylan stood in front of them, to protect them. The Replica was acting weird too. It just stands there, looking at them for some time now.

”Im really sorry. ” Aurielle apologized which made Dylan surprised.

”Its not your fault. ” He tries to comfort her.

”No. Its mine, of course. I should have fought back then, to reject this mission. Now, look at us. ” She felt hopeless, looking at her friend injured like that, it broke her heart yet more.

”Its okay. I don regret it. Though I don know about, Remy. He probably regretted it. ” Dylan badmouthed him.

”Hey, don put words in my mouth. ” Out of nowhere, Remy responded.

”You
e awake?! ” Aurielle was shocked.

”I was just tired and lose my grounding, didn expect you would put me in such a position. ” He whispers; as he mentions, the position where he can see and feel her curves. Remy everted his eyes from meeting Aurielles.

”Okay, thats it. ” Dylan stormed beside him and pulled his ear, forcing him to stand up.

”Ouch! Ouch! Thats hurt! ” Remy screamed. They were still arguing. Aurielle didn know how to react to their attitude.

”Pfftt. Hahaha! ” Aurielle couldn hold back her laugh, it caught both of their attention.

”Im so lucky to have both of you as my friends and teammates. ” She expressed gratitude. It made both of them blush a little.

”I know, right? You know, you need me. ” Remy said arrogantly, only to get smacked by Dylan on the head.

”You need to correct your attitude first. ” He lectured him. Remy was about to retort to his words before the Replica began to move once again.

”I guess, your bickering can continue later, if there is, a later. ” Aurielle pats their back and stands between them. The Replica stomps its feet and roared menacingly. A large black hole appeared before the Replica.

”What in the world?! ” They felt like being sucked inside the hole.

”Dark magic?! Who makes this thing anyway?! How can it have dark magic?! No, how come it has magic, to begin with! ” Remy screamed.

”From the beginning, it was already suspicious enough, that the Replica had magic, but dark magic? This is uncalled for. ” Aurielle pulled out her bow.

”Target: Clamp! ” She shoots her arrow and rope at the pillar behind them. Hoping it will be enough for her and the two of them, to hold on without being pulled away by the strong force.

”I don think we can survive this. This Replica has tricks hidden under its sleeve. No wonder, no one ever succeeded and survived here. ” Dylan said. The laying stones were already sucked into the dark hole. They noticed that the pillar beginning to become unsteady too.

”Is this the end already? I think Im too young to die. ” Remy didn have the will to fight anymore.

”Im sorry, both of you. But, thank you so much for everything that you have done. ” Aurielle tries to smile. Even if this was their last, she hoped that they didn bore resentment toward her. Dylan and Remy smiled kindly. Their faces say it all, it was enough.

”Yo! ” A voice alerted them. They turned their head to see two young men standing still, one of them was waving friendly at them.

Standing at the back, dressed in a white cloak covering his whole body, only showing his purple eyes. Meanwhile the other one, a young man dressed casually but smart looking. Wearing a maroon long-sleeved t-shirt but the sleeves are rolled to his elbow, with a vest, tie, gloves, pants, and pump loafers in the color black. He had shoulder-length and flowy red hair to the side, paired with yellowish eyes.

”Need a hand? ” The red-haired men asked playfully.
