It has been three days since we left the city. Over the time, I am getting used to eat without salt. Though I can feel that I am not at hundred percent of my strength because of this.
The only other problem I have is Oriana.
“Come on, even today, you will sleep on a tree.”
“Yeah. Now, just shut up and sleep.”
Ever since we left the city, she has been so clingy that I can’t stay less than two meters away from her. I wonder what is happening with her.
“Fufufu.” As always, Warren just laughs at the scene and continue polishing his sword. He has been doing that for two days now and you can’t even see the rust on it anymore. Though it still doesn’t look too sharp.
“Warren, I have waiting to ask you about this. This sword. Where does it come from? Why did it rust? And how come there is an emerald-colored part on it?”
“That’s a lot of questions. You were really wai
WILL OTUN POV: When the sun rises, Oriana isn’t to my side like when I fell but right on top of me. Curiously, she doesn’t smell much. We have been bathing in rivers without soap or anything until now so I thought our body odor would be really strong but surely, they must be used to it. “Hmmm…Are you up?” She caresses my face and to my own astonishment, I don’t react like usual. I thought I would lose control but I surprisingly don’t. “Yeah. Can you get off me now?” “As I thought, that girl did something to you. You don’t seem interested in me anymore.” “I was never interested to begin with, Oriana.” But maybe you are right. It’s true that since that day, I don’t feel that much bothered by the ‘heightened senses’ curse. But still, it wouldn’t be good to stay like this. I push her to the side and stand up, only to see three bodies on the floor near us. “Assassins?” Those guys are wearing black masks and hoods. I
After crying for almost ten minutes, I think my heart has settled down, the oppressive feeling on my chest is gone. Now, I am only tired. I want to sleep. My eyes hurt. My whole body hurts. I am resting on Emilia’s laps and they are surprisingly comfy. I wonder if mine are the same. Will never accepted to rest on them… That idiot.“Emilia, I am sorry. I really wanted to come to your wedding.”“Oh, don’t worry. We had it rescheduled.”“Eh?!!” I raise my head and she is smiling like nothing is wrong with what she said. “Why?!”“Because there two certain idiots who couldn’t even come.”“Two?” Wait, for sure, I am the first. But who is the se…Looking at Telestal, I get an answer to my question without asking it. “Will is a wanted criminal and surely, he will be killed sooner or later. Don’t you think you made a mistake?” What am I e
SARAH CAMPBELL POV:After Emilia and Telestal leave, I finally feel sleepy. My eyes are really heavy and before I know it, everything goes dark.When I open my eyes back, I am not in my room anymore. I am in front of a castle that is completely devastated. What could have happened here?“What is this place?”“Come inside, chosen child.” A woman’s voice which sounds really sad resounds in side my head.“What the!! Who is there!!” I look around but there is no one here. The gates of the castle are the only things that seem to be making a sound here.What is happening? Seriously, what is this place?!!“Don’t be afraid. Just come inside.” That voice resounds inside my head again. What is all this? Did I take a drug or something before sleeping?“Oh, that idiot…” I can only think of one thing, the weird thing that Will gave me. It must be what is causing
“L…let me think about it.”“Okay, when you will be ready, I will be in the hall of the Valkyries.”“Okay. By the way, I forgot to ask for your name.”“Oh, yeah, that’s true. I am the Valkyrie of power. But when it is just us two, you can call me Rota.”“Okay, thanks, Rota. I will see you later.”“No problem.”Rota leaves and immediately, I check my status window.[Sarah CampbellAge: 16 years oldTitle: The heir of the wind.Mana points: 99999 pts (199 pts/s)Class: Cleric.Title characteristics:+ Using the dance of the wind increases the strength of your attacks by 60%+ A layer of wind constantly protects you.

WILL OTUN POV:Another day, another group of mercenaries on our tail. As soon as we woke up this morning, we have been attacked by a group of people who were pretty desperate. Their gears weren’t good yet they were attacking as if they had the best armor of the world. Out of the seven who attacked, I scorched three without killing them, thankfully.Though, I wonder…“Why are you healing them now?” Oriana is currently healing them. That’s something she didn’t do until now. Does she know them somehow.“They are pitiful souls that couldn’t think any better. I believe they deserve at least my compassion for they cannot easily choose anything else to do.”“I see.” A likewise soul then. Well, she did went through something similar as well so.“Warren, are you sure that the demon king is going to invade the frontier?”“Yeah, I have no doubts. Especially afte
“Our help? How?” It’s good that Warren is trying to cover me. But I am sure that with me standing in the middle of this burnt ground is speaking by itself. Well, he can use ice magic as well so…“We were hoping you would let them drink from that.” He shows the pillar of ice that is melting slowly under the sun.“As I said, it depends.”“Oh, but of course, we will compensate you. That is no problem.”“Is that so. Then, it is okay.”“We might as well all camp here for the night, don’t you think? I am sure you have disposed of all the sand eaters in the area anyway.” Ah, so those worms are called sand eaters, then. Well, with how they look like, I am too surprised.“Why not? But you will be providing the food then.”“Of course. You have already given us the most important.”The guy then whistles with his mouth and the
I should watch out for anything she would say that could be unnecessary. She has a running mouth after all.“Really?”“Yes! To feel the emotions of you partner, to feel his desire… I thank the god of aw and balance every day since I have obtained this blessing. And I am even more happy because my husband is a very loving and caring man. Not a day pass without him showing me the proof of his love.”I am trying my best not to smack that girl’s head. What kind of delusions is she spouting out so nonchalantly?! But I am surprised, I thought she would say that I am a hero at some point but she is curiously choosing her words.“I see. That is indeed marvellous.” Meyer makes a sad face after hearing Oriana’s speech. How come?“Did you think it was anything different?” Warren has noticed it as well and directly asked him why he makes a long face like this.“Not really…I
His voice has also started to change. I guess the time has come.The camels restart moving and as we progress towards the city, my body become more and more tense.Oriana is also trying her best to prepare. She has already crossed her hands and is praying while advancing. Warren, if you haven’t betrayed us, now is the time to show it.At the entrance of the city, there are no guards. People are coming and going as thye please and I can see palm trees inside. Yeah, now I can’t hesitate, Warren has betrayed us.“You should try to hide somewhere.”“No, wait, what are y-” This time, I won’t let Oriana stop me.I go to the front of the line , get past them and stand before every single one of those demons.“What is this?”“Will, what are you doing?” You of all people would ask me what I am doing, Warren. That’s a first.“I won’t let you guys a
