Chapter 17 - 17 – “The Blade That Remembers When He Can’t” Ashenfall – Battlefield in Collapse The Law Eater descended like a god of death. Code storms tore through the sky. Walls turned to static. Reality buckled beneath its voice. > "REWRITE DETECTED. ZONE PURGE INITIATED." And still—he stood there. Rin. Sword raised. Heart hollow. Memory gone. But he faced the monster without blinking. > "You're not touching her." --- ✨ Soulburn: Form II – The Memory Echo > [Glitchblade Upgrade Detected] [New Form: Soulburn – Memory Echo] [Effect: Blade adapts to emotional imprints lost to the mind.] The blade sang—a tune of laughter, tears, warmth. Rin's eyes flared for a moment... and his fingers trembled. > "Why do I feel like I've held that girl while she cried?" He stepped forward, and the blade flared with violet fire. --- ⚔️ Father and Daughter vs. System's Weapon Lilith floated behind him, her aura like black wings of sorrow and chaos. > "Even if you don't remember me, I'll fight beside you." > "Then I'll protect you—even if I don't understand why." They moved in perfect sync. Rin sliced through a chain of law. Lilith blasted through a divine firewall. The Law Eater reeled—for the first time, it was bleeding code. --- ⚠️ The World Begins to Collapse > [System Alert: Rewritten Zones Being Devoured] [Error Expansion: 17% → 24% → 39%] [UNSTABLE LOGIC CASCADE: DETECTED] Myra and her forces evacuated civilians as reality itself began folding inward. > "If this keeps up," she shouted, "the system will reboot everything!" --- 💔 Lilith Makes Her Move She opened her system menu. A locked command blinked at the bottom. > [Emergency Key: Restore Memory Fragment] [Requires: Full Soul Bond. Risk: Soul Sync Overload.] > "If I do this... I might die." She looked up at Rin, sword raised, heart empty but hands shaking. > "But if you don't remember me, Papa..." > "Then it's like I never existed at all." --- ⚡ Forbidden Command: Soul Sync Memory Override > [Command Accepted] [Injecting Target Soulstream → RIN_VALTAZAR.sys] > "Papa... remember me." Rin froze. Visions flooded in. Laughter. Her smile. Her hugs. Her screams. Her cooking disasters. Her tears. His chest seized. > "...Lilith?" He dropped to his knees, eyes wide, tears falling. > "LILITH!!" She collapsed into his arms, unconscious—barely breathing. > [Memory Restored. Connection: Complete.] [Warning: Catalyst Fatigue Critical.] --- Ending Scene – Soulburn Awakens The Glitchblade pulsed. And for the first time... spoke. > "She gave up everything for you. Now give me everything you've got." > [Final Form Initiated: Soulburn – Code Requiem] [System Override Protocol: Armed] Rin stood. Tears in his eyes. Fury in his grip. > "You wanted to erase her?" > "Now I'm going to erase you."
