120. The Past and the Future

It's the Relic...?! Can't believe this is where it's hidden...!

That stone must be the switch for the hidden door. No wonder we couldn't find it outside.

A blind spot indeed. How lucky that we stumbled upon it.

I know, right? Great! The great relic really is here!

Yeah...!

... Hey.

You guys just care about finding the relic, can't you worry about me even just a bit? I might be dead if it had been a dangerous trap.

You're right, sorry. It's all thanks to you.

If you hadn't sat on that rock, Snezhana, we wouldn't have found the Relic this soon.

You're very welcome. Thanks to this trigger, I'm quite traumatized.

Haha, well, don't be mad. We've found what we are looking for now, which means we can go back now, right?

Well, it's true, but...!

Anyway, it's been an arduous trip, but we have now accomplished the purpose of the trip. Now you guys just need to bring it back to Teslovik, then this job will be completed.

That's it... Amazing, Awakener! Let's ask Lieutenant Fenriru to examine this relic as soon as we get back! If this part really can be used for ''decomposition''...

Yeah, that's right. Then we might be able to...!

!!!　You guys, get down!

You guys, get down!

Wh...!? What's going on here?!

Thank you. Thank you for finding the Relic for me. I really appreciate it.

You are...!

This way, Rasparta will finally have the Relic... while I can finally take my revenge!

Uh... Set...! You still can't let go!

I remember Horus calling you Set...!

That's right, you remember me. Actually, it doesn't matter if you didn't.

Why would Rasparta's man be here...?! Did she follow us...?!

Don't you think it's very rude to rob someone of something they've worked so hard to find? Unfortunately, we are not planning to give the Relic away.

If you want it, you need to beat us first! But of course, you won't defeat us!

Be careful! Even though she's alone...

... Alone? Do you not use your eyes?

Gee, there are more? But we still outnumber you...

Wh...!?

Hmph. You underestimated me. I'm Rasparta... No, I'm a weapon of Lord Wadjet. I won't lose to you bunch of losers.

... What?!!! Lord... Nephthys?!

Anubis, do you know her?

She... she's Lord Nephthys, who used to be... a warrior of Nebu.

She was an official general during the reign of the previous commander, Lord Nile. She was not only a noble warrior but also a ''Battlefield Reaper'' enemies were frightened of, yet...

... No, no way! This isn't possible!

Lord Nephthys died in the Nebu Civil War to protect Lord Nile.

Even if she were still alive, such a noble general would never work for Rasparta! Who on earth are you?!

... What are you talking about? I am Nephthys, but I have no idea what you were on about general and protecting the former commander.

Wh...

I am a fighting machine born for fighting alone. Only Lord Wadjet will be my master!

It looks like Anubis clearly knows her, but why do their stories not match...? She doesn't seem to be out of her mind... Could she have... lost her memories?

Well, if you don't want to die, give us the Relic Component! Everything will be as Lord Wadjet wishes!

Idiots... Stop this pointless struggle. Resisting will only make your deaths more painful!

Sh-she's so strong! If we don't do something, they're gonna snatch away the Relic! We spent so much effort to finally find it...!

I know! But...!

Take this!

Urgh...! I'm using up all my strength just to dodge her attacks! If I get hit directly, I'll probably lose my whole arm...!

Hmph, not bad. At least you recognize the gap between you and me. Now that you understand, hand over the Relic. The relic should only belong to Lord Wadjet.

It's difficult enough to deal with her alone. I bet the other one is gonna be tough too...! Before the other starts to attack, we have to think of a plan...

Awakener!

...! Anubis?!

Awakener, let me deal with Set. I'll leave Nephthys to you guys.

No way! You, fighting her alone...!

I have no choice. It's my duty.

What do you mean...?

... Even though we are no longer sisters, her faults are still my faults.

Now that we have come to this, let me take the responsibility to urge my foolish sister to turn back.

Wh...!?
