"Hey! Raise your sword!” exclaimed a priest who suddenly appeared behind Rex.Rex was shocked to the point of almost aghast and I felt the same way. It turned out that the priests were watching from the back of the line as well. Rex was at the very back and now all eyes were on us.“I-I…” Rex stuttered."Come on, raise your sword!" cried the priest once more.I immediately racked my brains to help Rex. If he didn't raise his sword, things could end badly.“Raise your sword, Rex,” I said in a half whisper, even though I knew no one would hear me now except Rex."Rex Hito, draw your sword now!" cried the priest while walking closer.I panicked even more because Rex didn't even draw his sword. Everyone started whispering under their breath, speculating. They could have thought Rex was arrogant after successfully repairing the Grand Healer Flaming Totem and that was not a good thing."Lets do it! Don't think you can go against the priests' orders because you've already managed to refine t
"If someone really wanted to kill you, they would do it again," I said.Rex already knew that. He just took a deep breath at that.“You know who probably planned all of this?” I asked.“Maybe Rais Musi and his minions. I only know those who hate me,” Rex whispered.I also thought maybe they were the one. Who else besides them? However, considering that Rex's father was considered a traitor, it is possible that some of them hate Rex. Whoever it is, we have to be really vigilant before that person tries to kill us again.“When do you think they will try again?” Rex asked finally.“I guess every chance I get,” I replied."Then we should switch back," Rex said."How to?" I asked.We were both silent, because neither of us knew how to switch back. I tried to think about it, but I have absolutely no idea how."Think of the Golden Tree," Rex told me.I'm starting to worry if anyone listens to her words. However, he said it in a low voice and whispered, so I thought everything would be fine.
I could hear Rex's heartbeat getting weaker and it made me really panic. If I had a body I would probably be sweating and my heart was racing because I was trying so hard in the last seconds that death would come for me and Rex.The beam of light that appeared after made me feel like I was seeing heaven. I was really worried that the light that appeared was really the light of heaven, which meant that Rex and I had died, but it turned out that what appeared was the golden light from the golden tree.I squealed with joy at that. I can easily access the power of the golden tree now and with it, somehow I can take over Rex's body again. Rex's body glowed brightly because of the light from the golden tree and I could feel I was taking over the almost dead body.Even though I have now managed to switch places with Rex, this body has still been exposed to that deadly poison. However, I remembered the pouches that Mora had given me last night as a gift. With the help of the golden tree's pow
"We're going to die if we stay here!" I shouted. I realized only a second later that my voice might have been too loud.‘We will also die if we go out there!’ Rex shouted in my brain.“If we're here, we can only resign ourselves to death and we won't be able to find your father!” I shouted.Rex stopped talking when I mentioned his father. I might be too reckless, but I'm sure that staying in this tribe won't get us anywhere and death is always lurking. Whoever wants to kill us will keep at it until he succeeds. I won't be able to save us continuously.'I-I… I'm scared, Ares,' said Rex.I was speechless because I also feel the same way. Inside myself, I was terrified. However, I don't think we have much of a choice. With all that's been going on lately, I think the beasts are way better than the vengeful people in this tribe.I could feel Rex's fear but I ignored it.“You are stronger than you think, Rex,” I said.Rex was silent. Even though this child is whiny and likes to sulk, but w
I seemed to be struck by lightning when someone was behind me and called Rex's name. My brain froze even though I tried to think of reason after reason so I could answer his question. However, I was completely unable to do so."Rex!" call him again.I had to turn my head and how relieved I was to see that it was Noe behind me. Noe looked at me confused because maybe I looked pale as a ghost. I felt my hands go cold because Noe called out to me so suddenly that I was taken aback.“Noee!” I cried in a whisper.“Rex, everyone is looking for you,” said Noe.“I know,” I replied."What are you doing here?" he asked again, looking to the right and left. He seemed to have guessed that I was hiding and did not want anyone to see."I have to go, Noe," I said. I don't know if my words are easy to understand or not but I have to go soon and I hope Noe doesn't ask any more questions."But, Rex. It's almost dark!” exclaimed Noe while widening his eyes. There was great concern in the expression on h
I kept running away and only realized that my body felt very weak when I was far enough away from the tribe. I stopped to take a breath and then looked back. I'm no longer exposed to flashing flames so my body feels weak due to the effects of bloody marks.'It's very dark in here,' said Rex in my mind.I can just imagine Rex hugging himself in terror if only he had a body this time. I tried to stay brave even though I knew Rex could sense my fear too. You are in a dark and empty area. The light of the huge moon was not enough to penetrate these dense trees.We are quite safe from the pursuit of people in the tribe, they will not be able to chase us until we leave the tribe. However, out here we know that we will have new challenges. Without a flaming torch, I went deeper into the trees. The golden tree helps me to make the light come out of my hand so I can see in this darkness. So far, the forest appears empty.I decided to sit under a tree that looked safe. I quickly took out a hunk
The snake was bigger than I thought before and its movement was very fast. I tried to dodge, but there was no way. The snake tried to peck my eyeballs, but because I had time to shift, the snake's peck hit my temple. Pain coursed through my body and because I was shocked, I fell down.'Unlucky. That's the most venomous snake,' said Rex.Oh, shit. If that's true, I really would be dead by now. I just left the tribe and now I'm almost dead at the hands of the first beast I meet. This is ridiculous. I wanted to laugh but then I remembered that this was my stupidity and my life was about to be taken.The chimera wasted no time, it immediately lunged at me and one foot stamped on top of me. I coughed because the lion's legs were so heavy, they almost pounded my lungs. The fiery light from my body faded and disappeared as he did.The lion growled. Blood was still coming from the goat's slit neck, dripping down my face. I could see the red eyes of the lion staring at me angrily. At the same
“I-I don't care at all about power, territorial expansion, and all that confusing stuff, Your Highness. I just want to find my father,” I replied.I answered loudly even though I was afraid of this man because what I said was the truth. My main goal now is to find Rex's father and maybe after that, I can return to my own body. If the universe really sent me here, I believe my mission is to help Rex. Maybe the universe will send me back to my real life after that. I'm tired of being in this strange world full of danger."Your father?" he asked."Yes. My father, Rum Hito, I have to find him. He disappeared a few years ago,” I replied.'I hope he knows something,' Rex thought to me.“Rum Hito! Ah, no wonder your name is very familiar to my ears. Apparently, your name is very similar to your father's name," he said in a voice that was quite jarring, making me surprised.It turns out that he does know something about Rex's father. That made me quite enthusiastic because my decision to run
