My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 248: Strange Illusion?

"Are you sure you have time to waste on me now~?" The Figure said while pointing at the ball of fire that intensified and started to burn the space around it.

"Damn it," Kurumi appeared near the ball and used all of her mist to envelop the ball of fire.

"Come on now don't glare at me like that~, You know nothing bad will happen to him, cause after all it is my power and above all isn't this what you wanted?" The figure waved his hands at the irritated Kurumi looking at him with rage.

"Not in this way, this has too many risks even if I am around, I swear is some-" Kurumi's hate-filled words were cut off by the figure.

"I thought after so many failures you would've understood that pampering won't end well, He needs to know what he has done, that is the only way for him to get strong, it sucks how things never go as planned do they," The figure stopped while shaking his head before.

'It was going well before you butted your head in,' Kurumi had numerous veins popping on her forehead at the moment.

"And If it doesn't work you can always tur- Whoa, that was dangerous," The figure jumped out of the way to dodge a whip made of pink mist but his arm got cut off.

"Shut your mouth an 'empty husk' like you won't understand anything," Kurumi spoke coldly.

"Well, you aren't denying my words at least, anyway if he can live or not depends on what you do next, are you going to keep pampering him like usual or are you going to let him fare for himself, Hmmmm This will be interesting, anyway I'll be off, my hand will keep you company while I am gone, Don't lose it~," The figure had a cute grin on his face while looking at Kurumi before entering the portal in that appeared in front of him.

Seeing the figure gone the anger on Kurumi's face went away and she turned towards Haru trying to get him out of the flames but….

'It is of no use, my energy just gets devoured instead, These flames are a real pain in the ass just like always,' Kurumi concluded her thoughts and moved back.

"If I leave it like this it will likely eat away this whole world like nothing and will keep on spreading further," Kurumi muttered with a frown and the pink mist surrounded the ball of flames that were devouring the space around it and trying to spread around.

After seeing that the flames weren't coming out of her barrier Kurumi went inside the barrier along with the arm of the one she cut off before.

'What happened?' Haru thought to himself while looking around.

"Where is this place?" Haru muttered to himself, since all he could see around him was flames everything was on fire and there was not a soul in sight.

Tress on fire, Houses on fire, the ground was on fire everything was on fire but there was one thing that caught his attention.

"Isn't this our old house?" Haru looked at a small 2-story house burning in dark red flames.

'Why is everything burning?' Haru was bewildered by his surroundings but he didn't lose his cool because he trusted Kurumi enough to know that what was happening wouldn't be of any danger to him.

Haru used his Kenbunshoku Haki to the fullest and it covered the surface of the planet. And he found no sign of life but the whole place was burning in the same flames around him.

'Is this some new type of training? At least she could've given me a heads up,' Haru sighed and saw the surroundings crumbling into dust before he was sent to a new place.

Once again everything was on fire with no human in sight but there was something similar in sight.

"Huh? What?" Haru looked shocked while looking in front of him.

It was the building he and Jin-woo lived in before.

"Is this an illusion?" Haru muttered but everything felt real of course he knows it is possible to do this with illusions as well. But the thing is Illusion has no effect on him no matter who uses them.

'This is strange, I don't know why but I don't have a good feeling about this, did something go wrong?' Haru's mind was racing as he ran up the stairs to reach Jin-woo's house and kicked the door open.

"No one is here as well," Haru looked around the room that was lit up in fire and started to feel uneasy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Hearing a loud explosion that shook the whole place Haru ran towards the window to see what happened while using his haki to search for the cause of the explosion.

"What the hell?" Haru jumped out of the window when he found out the cause, it was in Dongdaemun-gu while he was in the south across the Han river.

But it didn't even take a second for Haru to reach the place and he found what he was looking for.

"Jin-woo, Jin-ah what happened here?" Haru shouted as he rushed towards Jin-woo who trying to stop the fire from reaching him and Jin-ah who has already passed out.

Things weren't looking good for both of them because the fire kept on eating away at Jin-woo's shadow barrier no matter how much mana he used.

'Where are his shadows?' Haru was confused since he couldn't feel Jin-woo's shadow army at all and there was only one answer to it but Haru wasn't focused on that right now.

"Why aren't you listening to me you damn chunni bastard," Haru was pissed since Jin-woo didn't hear him and raised his hand to hit him on the head after he landed in front of jin-woo.

"Huh!?" Haru was shocked as he looked back.

"I passed through him?" Haru was stupefied.

'Is this really an illusion? No not the time to think that I need to figure out what is happening here,' Haru shook his head and wanted to save them since Jin-woo looked like he was on his last leg along with Jin-ah who was barely breathing.

"Damn it! Damn It! Damn it! What is happening? Why can't I touch them," Haru shouted in anger as his hands went through Jin-woo and Jin-ah whenever he tried to help them.

'What do I do in this situation? What type of illusion is this?' Haru gritted his teeth while his anger rose to make the flames around him go violent without even noticing.

"Looks like I am seeing things at my last moments,"

The sudden words from Jin-woo brought Haru back from his thoughts. Haru looked at Jin-woo who was out of mana with the fire surrounding him and Jin-ah completely.

"I was surprised about how Hae-in remembered you, I thought I found my first clue but you're late, You Fucking Cross Dresser," Jin-woo shouted his last words while looking towards Haru and his body turned into dust alongside Jin-ah.

Haru looked at the spot where Jin-woo was previously with jin-ah, His face changed a dozen times in a short amount of time before anger took over him making him slam his fist on the ground.

CRACKLE* CRACKLE* CRACK* CRACK*

Black lightning crackled all around him with deep cracks spreading all over the land and the air like a cracked mirror.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

On this day if someone was looking at earth from the moon then would see the unimaginable site of it popping up like a balloon alongside a fear-inducing cry.

"I AM NOT A DAMN CROSS-DRESSER YOU BASTARD,"

Yes, It was fear-inducing indeed...…

"Hmmm," Haru opened his eyes slowly and looked up seeing Kurumi's face above him with a soft feeling under his head. He understood his current position and had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Kurumi do you ever get the feeling of déjà vu?" Haru asked with a serious look.

"…No, why do you ask?" Kurumi answered with a small smile.

'Does Ha-kun know already? That is a possibility,' Kurumi wondered about what Haru saw since her connection to him was severed when he was inside the Acalanatha, and had no idea what Haru saw there. It had made her a bit uneasy since it could affect him in a negative way which wasn't something she wanted.

"I was just remembering about how I always end up in this situation with you," Haru said while shaking his head and Kurumi giggled.

"Does my Ha-kun hate it~?" Kurumi asked.

"Absolutely love it," Haru answered quickly without any hesitation.

"You can ask for it anytime you want, And if you are good you can have a lot more Ufufu~," Kurumi spoke teasingly.

"I see," Haru rolled his eyes seeing Kurumi teasing him like usual.

'Things have gotten derailed because of what happened now, his power has increased far higher from what his body can handle, for now, now how should I proceed after this? It was supposed to be only 20% but now it is over 40%,' Kurumi was worried about Haru since keeping the flame in check was getting harder, there was no way to stop it.
