After that, I left my house and went to the mountain where I trained Will. The air feels less heavy here. While looking around, I notice how this place has changed in just the few years that we left it. Grass and rocks have covered the numerous holes that we left as we were training. The trees that were broken are covered by moss now. Nature really has power over everything. But more importantly…
“Why does it take so long?” It has been more than two weeks already. Normally, they should have been sent to fight against demons and more than half of them should be dead by now.
At this point, Will should be desperate enough to think of using the magic circle to summon me. How come he hasn’t done it yet? Could it be that he is dead? No, there is no way. I taught him any things, including the dance of the elements that was said to have incredible effects there. He should be alive. Maybe he hasn’t found someone with divine power the
Three hours later, the air becomes heavy. Rain is coming. And there is still no sign from the drawing. Oh well, there is no need to hope now. This guy was nothing more than a waste of time.I suddenly feel numerous presence moving towards me, all of them are releasing their magic without hesitation. Is that a warning. You guys can come, I am ready.“He is here.” Gabriel is the first to appear, wearing his armor from the time. Weird enough, his doesn’t seem to fit him. How come when mine is still a perfect fit.Tennessee comes right after him, wearing her armor as well. She seems to have the same problem. They look like someone just took scraps of metal and attached them the best he could on pieces of meat.The others aren’t better. Still, everyone is here, releasing his magic in the air with an impressive aggressivity.“I will ask you only once. Did you know or were you conned by someone?” Gabriel speaks to me wh
“Are you sure you got him?” The others start slowly walking to me. Gabriel seems to have recovered as well. Though, he is having difficulty seeing as Tennessee is helping him to walk.“You fucker. You will tell us the way to bring back our children.” Right after he says that, the sound of an helicopter reaches our ears. What took you so long, Stephenson?“That must be Stephenson. That son of a bitch is always late.” My body gradually seems to be recovering its mobility. Unlike earlier, my fingers can move now. But it’s okay let’s deceive them a little bit.“How can I bring my daughter back?! Answer me!!” Gabriel grabs my chest plate and tries to lifts me up. Well, I guess he is trying since I feel a bit lighter.“How would I know?”“Why did you send our children there?!”“You fucking lowlife!! I always knew you couldn’t be trusted!!”
“What happened to you, boy?” I reach him with my hand but a lightning bolt strikes me, pushing me back far away. It also hurts. If I didn’t still have Adamant skin active, I would have lost my hand there. “What is all this?”I don’t remember him being that strong. So how? How was he able to surpass me when I am the one who trained him, who restrained him so that he could never reach a certain height?“This can’t be happening.”The sound of thunder pierces my ears as a lightning strike makes the ground shakes behind me. This makes less and less sense. It shouldn’t be like this. Before I can turn to look at what happened behind me, Will’s whole body turns black then lightning up like charcoal burning.“Ahhh!!” A fire incredibly hot then starts all around him. The guy who was stabbing him gets vaporized instantly.“You were just a fucking mere tool, dammit!!”That fir
“This is very intriguing.” I thought the people coming were heroes but to my surprise, they were demons. What’s more, they are commanders. How come? The demon king was defeated without his commanders?The three of them are kneeling before me each of them with a weird shape. The one at the right is a spider woman. Everything about her tells she is a demon, except for her face. Her torso even has a second mouth, that’s really disgusting.The one at the center is a goblin. Though, he is far more impressive than a normal one. His skin is completely black and his eyes are red as blood. He is as tall as a human as well. None of the commander I fought looked like this. Though, even those wouldn’t be able to defeat me.As for the one at the left, it is a troll. Though, just like the goblin, his skin and eyes are showing clear difference. He is holding a sword as big as the Stephenson had on his back. Surely, he took it from a guy here. The
While I bring out my small and complete meal that only requires water, I hear the footsteps of horses coming. And it seems to be a lot of them. Couldn’t they have waited that I finish eating.A huge cloud of dust can be seen at the horizon while I rapidly gulp down my food and the group comes closer, I feel a weird power from one of the people coming. This power…it was the same that I felt after I finally managed to see and feel mana here, the power that was coming from the head priest that teleported us here.“Divine power…” Could it be that Susan is still alive? When we were teleported here, she wasn’t too old so perhaps she isn’t still alive. In which case, it would be obvious to start with her, right?I wait for the group and when they reach me, they stop, raising the dust cloud all around us. While it gradually settles, I identify on which horse the person I want is. When it settles completely, I see fifteen peopl
Ah, yeah, finally, a name that I remember. They told us that silk was traded a lot with another country and since it came through Albion, the port there was called the silk cost. Why did I even remember something so useless? Maybe it is because Florencia wanted to go there?“I see. Well, thanks.” I break his neck and let the body fall to the ground.“No!!”“Captain!!”His men once again release irritating noise of grief. But what for? None of them dares to move from where they are.[He has the potential. Accept him into the darkness.] The voice in my head starts blabbering nonsense.“Hey, I am not some demon king or whatever. I am not accepting anyone or anything.”[The world is-]“I know what the world is. But I don’t need any follower.”It continues speaking but I turn around and continue walking. If that is how it was controlling the previ
At my request, the fog puts its finger on her grave once again but this time, Florencia appears. She looks exactly as if she was alive. How come?“Hirvin?”“Y-yes.” I am so surprised to hear her voice that I fumble and bite my tongue. I never thought she would look like this. “I-I-”“What is happening? This…I was not here before, and then I came back?”“It is only a dream, don’t worry.” I wonder how the place where you are now looks like. But I won’t ask. I shouldn’t ask.“I see. Well, it’s true that I do tend to dream a lot. I always had, right?”“Yeah, you were quite the big dreamer, quite the naïve one as well.”“Fufufu. You are always the same. You are too honest.”“Hehe. Not as much as you.”After I say that, silence falls and we don’t say anything for almost a minute.
In less than two minutes, he puts the fish on a plate and the pink color is shining even more while the fish smells really good. I remove my gauntlets while he prepares the dressing and puts it all around the fish.“Here you go.” He puts the plate before me and the smell is even more fragrant now.“Thank you.”“Wait!!!” Right as I am about to dig into it, the cook stops me, presenting me a small bowl of water. Oh, I forgot.“Sorry, I forgot a little.”“No worries.” The etiquette as they say. I wash my hands first then dig into the fish.AThis…this isn’t as good as I remember. It is true that it smells good but the taste isn’t as I remember. It used to be better. It used to be the best. So how come?“Sir, is there a problem?” The cook seems to be concerned about me. Why?“No, there is no problem.”“If there is anyt
