Moreover, his unusual expression made Zelon understand even more now, that the child named Aidan had a hard time due to the brutal attacks that the monsters carried out.

Zelon looked at the state down there, the bonfire they had made was still burning and didn't dare to be touched by the monsters who were pacing back and forth looking for the two of them.

And don't know how long they've been hiding which must have been Zelon feeling his back muscles tighten from ducking for too long, trying to monitor the state below. Meanwhile, Aidan fell asleep for a moment with both hands tightly hugging the big tree that was his hiding place.

In their hands was a small box, containing towels and toiletries for them to use while in what they thought was a shelter."Are you sure, have you recorded everything?" Asked the woman wearing a blue hoodie, wearing her beani to cover her face."Hm, definitely." Retorted the man who was with her, lowering the camera in hand. Then turned his head to look at his co-worker. "But, do we have to do this far? If we were caught by them, we would have been killed." Said the man holding the camera— Jeff.

Talking one-on-one to decide whether or not they're going to go."I will once ask, to reassure you mister and madam." Rania said sighing faintly, "are you sure of your choice now? Even though you two know for yourself, even home will not be the safest place at the moment. We have to go to the official shelter so that we can get help from the government... and being able to get together with a lot of people there too."

In front of them were still Karina and Ellard who were also staring strangely at the eatery that contained rice, chicken sauce and vegetables inside."It turns out that in the human world there is a place to eat like this, right?" Karina said smiling faintly, not touching her food at all in amazement. For the first time to see something like this."It's not where your lives, there is nothing like this?" Jennie asked in between her chews making Karina shake her head slowly."Don't chat while eating, you will be a choke later." Justin's scolding at the two, Ellard beside him just staring at the boy cold, just continuing to eat while turning his head around him. There are many humans who are in official shelters there.

It didn't hit or creep into the air and hit the defending service members."Don't shoot anymore, they just lost their minds." He said trying to contain everyone who wouldn't let a single zombie slip out of their sight—in a sense, they would get rid of all the zombies without a remnant."What do you mean?"Theodoric looked straight at Comman

The root slowly propagated and pressed the two men's wrists. Then the ends of the roots of the eternal tree touched the veins of his arm as if flowing something.The lying figure was none other than Theodoric.

    Theodoric withdrew from the lubrication, his steps swayed with his body shivering with cold. The young man who was still loyal to his gray hoodie slowly sat down with his legs on his feet, leaning against the wall of the wall exhausted.His eyelids blinked like no energy, cold sweat also seemed to appear on his temples. His shortened breathing made his fists tighten even more, making him tremble.The dim light in the corner of the state palace made the young man's body unable to attract the attention of the people around the palace hall. Theodoric didn't understand why his body was suddenly fragile like this, especially since his energy seemed to be drained away and left endless fatigue. All his energy seemed to be sucked so much that he was now standing up unable to.The shadow of someone approaching made Theodoric try to look up, he squinted because it felt like his eyes were burdened and dimmed by themselves."Prince?" Edgar's voice sounded, the man's hand touched both shoulders, m

    Rania slowly pulled the corners of her lips with emotion, looking gently at the son who had now fallen in her arms. She never expected that she could hug Theodoric tightly like this again.Theodoric, too, is the same. The young man was now moved to feel the warmth of his mother's embrace that he hadn't been able to feel for a long time.Tired, tired, confused and also anger that was about to overflow because of the various problems that attacked him these few days seemed to disappear. The comfort of being in his mother's arms seemed to make Theodoric in a dream now, the fragrance of his mother's familiar body was so fragrant that his eyelids instinctively closed by themselves.Want to fall asleep soon, and be able to sleep next to the mother like when he was a child."Where have you been all these time? Is it true, you went to the Eternal Ice Kingdom or something, until you didn't tell you the slightest bit about your condition while you were away." Said Rania patted her only son ligh

Instead of being afraid, Theodoric seemed to get bluffed from a child. Not disturbed at all, just find it funny."You're the one named Theodoric?" Asked the young man who was none other than Jackson, Theodoric responded with a low nod of his head. Raising his left eyebrow high as if to say 'why?'.Jackson stepped forward, smiling crookedly while observing Theodoric from head to toe. The man chuckled softly, unable to contain the amusement in his stomach looking at Theodoric who had a mediocre appearance. There was nothing special about that fireball red-e

    Elma shuffled her waist while turning her gaze in the other direction, trying hard not to roll her eyes off guard when she heard Jackson's narration in front of her which was added by Arlan and Jerry.The three young men defied Elma's words to leave the presidential palace before misfortune befell them all. He didn't want to face and deal with the tall figure who had iris like the fireball earlier.That person's fist alone had not had time to hit his body, but it was strange that Elma felt that she had been battered just because she was stared at sharply by the young man. His intimidating gaze bolted her whole body, frozen where she stood with trembling wrists fearfully."You want to leave just because of what that person said? You know for yourself, no one is stronger than the four of us. Why do you have to do it?" Jackson still opposed."Is he someone you know or like? That's why you're acting suspiciously like this?"
