Hello Readers! Sorry for the delay but here it is! though I think this chapter is really boring and short, and there's really not much I could do about it. Also, I was editing this chapter at 3 am while slowly drifting to my slumber, so there might be some if not a lot of grammar. But it's because I really want to update this chapter as soon as possible for the sake of some of you that been waiting and so that I could continue to the next chapter. Anyway, enjoy! Also, I'm very sorry if the summery in this chapter is sloppy due to my motivation because I really don't like this part of the story right now due to the lags of action, just wait until they finally return to the city and finally I can get to the good part!

The Sun almost hit the grounds after awhile since Dark Warrior left the camp that belonged to the small army of Goblins, which had been annihilated by their looters, Momonga team and the Sword of Darkness. He left as soon as Lukrut regrouped with him, Takumi, and Narberal. The Ranger didn't bring anything magnificent, only arrows for his bow, few small bags, and some copper coin, It's not a lot of money to brag about but still useful regardless, such as it could be used to buy some cheap drink and food or rent a room in the inn for 2 or 3 days worth. Or just put it in the saving for new gears for his friend or himself.

Again, just like when they were searching for the camp, Lukrut is leading them once again while the rest are following him closely while maintaining the distance in cases for a sudden stop. Already halfway through the forest to their destination toward to the rest of the group. Before he enters the forest, Lukrut has been marking on the tree with his dagger just in case they somehow gotten lost, which the Blonde Ranger doubt, with his confidence as a Ranger he can remember the path he took clearly if he really wishes to. His skill as a scout is very impressive, he's so skilled that people could even be viewed it as a talent in a way because not many people can go into the forest and remember their way out, especially if that person were to lose focus and let their guard down even for a second, they will get lost. And to prove even further that his skill as a scout was impressive, right now he is heading on the right path without checking the mark he had put on the trees, in other people case he might seem like he is blindly walking through the forest, which it would be understandable because he does look and act like it from other people point of view. Because of that, he could have fooled many people, by accident or on purpose, indeed he would have fooled many.

Talk about fooled.

Following behind him was Takemi. He looks at the Blonde Ranger skeptically wondering if the Ranger even knows the way at all. He would have said something to him a short while ago but thanks to his leader, Momonga. His leader seems to have fate in the Ranger somehow, because of that he decided to just go along with it for now. Even so, if the Ranger were wrong, he will still follow his leader anywhere regardless. Following Momonga has always been the best thing in his life back in the good old time in the game, because of that he will also continue to do so in this new world as well. But What role will he put himself in for his friend? The answer is obvious.

He will be the fool of the fools while following his guild Leader to the glory of... fun. Stump on any scum that dares to raise their hand against him and his friend, he will butcher any lowlife that stand in his way with the ultimate Blade that he forged from the ground to up with patients. But sadly, even with the amount of time he spends to make a perfect blade to defeat his rival, he never did finish it. He never did.

He then suddenly remembers his best blade and thought to himself.

'Maybe I will resume my goal of enhancing that blade of mine... Yes, perhaps that will help me keep my mind clear from all of these bloodlusts... or else'

"Alright! We're almost there!"

A sudden cheerful voice roared and break the silence was from no other than Lukrut. Or what the giant Samurai like to address him, Annoying Twat. The nickname he gave the blond Ranger is for himself to call while curing the Ranger of his very soul.

"Umu, then just like we planned. Let's quickly get it over with so we can finally settle down"

With that said, Lukrut seems to lighten up a bit. Indeed he would be, because of what he saw back in that hell hole he really needs a downtime.

Finally immerging from the tree line, a warm welcome sight behold them. The rest of their team was waiting for them, though most of them anyway. Everyone is there and some are waving at them while smiling, but then the warming mood was ruined in an instant. What was the cause? While it has nothing to do with their comrade welcoming them back from their sortie, but the sight that is beside them was the mood killer.

Not too long ago it was a mountain of dead corpses. Now it's a pile of harvest ears.

"OH COM' ON! GIVE ME A BREAK!"

After saying that, Lukrut knee down and continue to let out a bunch of salty complains while holding onto his head with both his hand and shake it side to side violently.

"Save that for when we're done. So hurries up, Blondie"

Takemi told him in annoyed tone while standing beside the Ranger. He's really tired of this bothersome person, so where is his leader in all this? Why is he dealing with this twat and not someone else? Is he the only one that finds the blondie annoying?

The Ranger look at him for a quick second then turn away while crossing his arm.

"I refuse to deal with any more of this bloody mess! No more butcher flesh for me! Any more and I will become a vegan...and I don't want to!"

The giant Samurai continues to look at him blankly. If he were to still to have a body with flesh, his boiled vine would have pumped up by now on his head.

"Oh, really?"

Lukrut nodded.

"I see. Guess what I have to say to that?"

The Ranger turned to look at him once more but only to meet with the scary face mask that belongs to Takemi.

"Too bad!"

After letting out a steam, he then picks up the Ranger by his back collar and began to approach the small mountain of green ears. He tries to struggle free from the Red Samurai grip but his strength was no use against the mighty Yamato, who has far superior brut strength compear to someone like him. Still, Lukrut refused to give up, no longer will he deal with any more meat.

'Enough is enough!' That's his wise word for this situation.

No longer has Lukrut taking the lead, Takemi has taken that from him now leading toward their final job for the day, a pile of ears. Though, it is true that a person would have a problem dragging someone who put as much resistance as Lukrut did, even for someone with muscle would have a slight problem too. But not in the case of this Samurai. For Takemi this is nothing, in the matter of fact, he didn't feel anything. It's the same as how he normally walk.

Shortly later, they made their way toward the other and they welcome them warmly and offer to carry out their last duty to gather the ears into the bag they brought and suggest them to take some rest while they are at it. Lastly, Lukrut gladly took the offer from them but immediately got deny by the giant Samurai and then continue to drag the Ranger with him to finish the work while telling his leader to stay with the other, inform them of what their encounter back in the Goblins camp

Momoga does as his friend suggest and explain to the rest. After telling them of what had happened, most of them didn't take it lightly, saying how could such a thing happen and offer the death pity of their horrible fate of slow painful death. But out of everyone, Touch me seem to take it the most, something told the Overlord that it was the case because after he told everyone his justice friend went quiet and didn't say anything after that. Knowing his friend well, he has already foreseen this reaction from Touch Me. To be honest, though, he expects his friend to develop hatred toward the green midget for their evil deed and that he will make those evil-doer answer for their inhuman crime. But what can People expect from a savagery in the first place? He does not know what his friend expected the Goblin to be but for Momonga, they are nothing but a lower life form, or to be precise, filthy coward that priorities survival than anything and the lowlife that will bow their head to not have their head cut down. The same thing to the human as well, humanity will also bow to those process greater powers, in the matter of fact, all living being are the same when their back hit the wall. But there's one thing that humans have and not many few race posses.

Hope.

Yes indeed, Hope. Humanity might cowardly bow their head to those in power but there's also a rare time when a small portion of humans than willing to stand tall against those with greater power, even so knowing dead is on the end of their page. The reason he sees hope in humanity is that he has already met with one before. That one warrior that refuse to stay down even though his foe has the higher ground and held all sort of advantages. After seeing the warrior determined to die for what he believes in, really boost the respect for that warrior he met. That warrior, Gazef Stronoff is one of the reasons why Momonga decided to become an Adventurer as a warrior, to build a legend.

"That is very unfortunate for them, indeed. If I may, Momon. What did you do to them? Their bodies I meant..."

Dyne asks him with worries and a troubled expression on his face. There's a problem on that causes him to freeze on the spot. The question itself was perfectly fine for a man like Dyne, who is kind, heartwarming, caring. But the problem is the question itself because he left those bodies there without any thought about it, that was his mistake.

'Dammit...Punitto Moe will scold me for this...ahhh~. What should I do to fix this? No, not fix. What should I do about it? Hmmm...'

After gathering his thought, he then goes for it.

"I decided not to do anything about it because for example, if I were to burn those corpses the possibility of wildfire will not be that far from reality, also burying them would take quite some time, time that we can't afford. So the only best action that comes to my mind was to abandon them as well as the camp"

Dyne frown at the Dark Warrior responds it may be true but dark. Maybe it's because his warming heart that can't come near the cold hard truth.

"But...still...Oh!"

An idea flashed across the big druid.

"Perhaps when we reach the village we can ask for their help"

After Dyne shared his idea to Momonga, Momonga then stares at him like with blank expression. The Overlord felt like he is looking at a boy who thinks he could do the impossible. Though the man idea might actually work, there will always be a flaw or two in some of every idea. Unfortunately, this idea was one of them.

"That might work...but"

"...?"

Momonga looks straight into Dyne eyes and slowly sighed.

"...The real question is...will they even help?"

"W-what do you mean, Momon?"

"What I'm saying was that, do you really think they will travel all the way here after suffering a heavy loss from an attack?"

Everyone except for the Dark Warrior companions shooked and confused. A brief moment passed and the first one to speak was the Mushroom hair young man with panic, Nfirea quickly rush toward Momon.

"W-what do you mean by that, Momon?! The Village was attacked?! By whom?! How did you know about thi-"

Seeing Nfirea losing his cool, Momon decide to calm the young man by shaking him out of an anxiety. After a few more shake the young man seems to cool down a bit but Momon could still see that he is still stressing out with worries.

'Perhaps he has some relative over there?'

He stops shaking the Nfirea and moves his face close to the young man face.

"I will explain in a second if only you calm down, got it?"

The Pharmacist was going to protest but seeing the resolve the Dark Warrior shown, he complies immediately. Satisfied, Momonga nodded.

"Thank you. Now, first of all, the Village is safe now thank to the Kingdom Royal Guard that was led by the Warrior name, Gazef Stronoff, Warrior-Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Also with the help of some unknown bypasser. At least that's what according to the hearsay from the Inn I was staying at"

Nfirea faces quickly turn grim.

"W-was there any casualties?"

Momon slowly shakes his head side to side.

"That's beyond my knowledge, but it is only common to have some if not few losses when an attack does happen. It is to be expected of course"

Everyone agrees with the Dark Warrior which make the young man anxiety to reach skyrocket.

"Then we must go there now!"

Everyone shares a troubled look with one another, they all have a mix feeling about this.

"I think that might be impossible, Nfirea"

Nfirea turns toward the Silver Paladin with confusion while at the same time shook.

"W-what are you saying, Silver? If we don-"

"Calm yourself!"

Silver cut Nfirea.

"Be reasonable and think this through! Do not be selfish!"

There must be some sort of power within the Paladin because he Nfirea was forced to take a few steps back.

"S-selfish?"

Silver let out a deep tired sigh at his question.

"Look at everyone here, don't you think after a long day of traveling by foot and fighting will not wear everyone out?!"

Nfirea slowly takes a look at the people he hired.

'Ah...'

Indeed, after all the event that took place today, it should have exhausted any ordinary person. Just because he didn't feel it, does not mean others will feel the same, plus he wasn't any of a help today and he was riding the wagon all this time while everyone else walks and keep guard.

"I-I'm sorry...I fail to keep myself compose and let the trouble thought to get the better of me..."

Silver nodded, satisfied that the young man manages to come to his sense.

"It...it just that I have a close...childhood friend in that village..."

"...I see. But like Momon said, it's safe now. Thanks to those Royal Guard, they are now safe. Plus, one way or another we will get there, so do not worry. What this friend of yours, name?"

"Enri...Emmot"

"Enri?"

The young man nodded.

"Enri Emmot..."

That name sound very familiar to him, now that he thinks back, there's wasn't that many children in the villager after when he recuses them from those barbaric knights that raided those poor people to only lure one man out to kill him for their mistery evil scheme.

'Ah! Is it not that young girl and her little sister?'

"Silver?"

Nfirea snaps him out of his thought.

"...I'm sure they are alright"

Nfirea looking at him confused.

"What makes you so sure?"

"Uhh...My Justice instinct say so!"

Everyone including his friends looks at him tilt their head to the side dumbfoundedly while speechless. Seeing so, made him blush.

"Anyway! Let's us depart! That's right! Zedd, lead us the way! We need to set up camp as soon as possible, there's no time to waste! Let us go!"

Without any delay, Silver made his way toward the Wagon.

"..."

Looking at the Silver Paladin made his way to the Wagon, they are still speechless. Momon sigh, of all thing his friend could have said for an excuse, Appearamcelly "Justice instinct' have to take the top. Walking up to them was Takemi and Lukrut, Lukrut is struggling to keep hold of the big bag that has a really bad smell while Takemi holds 2 larger bags.

"What did we miss?"

Momonga sigh and shakes his head.

"Not so much. Anyway, let's get going. the light about to die soon if we don't hurry"

After they regroup back with each other at the wagon, they immediately depart.

Unknow

"Hey, kid! Don't go there, get back here now, it's dangerous!"

Not listening to the man that trying to protect him, he keeps running forward without any worrying and fear over the burning and collapsed building and dead demon corpses. While running through all this nightmare, a question raises within his head. Why is he running? Even so, where is he running to? trying to stop and turn around but he couldn't.

'Where am I? What happens here and why am I going through it? Where's Sis?'

Trying to stop this foolishness and instead, he needs to find his sister.

'Huh?'

He couldn't move, not even his head or eye. Every part of his body is moving on it own while he couldn't do anything but watch whatever this is taking place.

'I don't have time for thi-'

Turn the corner and he reaches the open area that his sister called it, the Plaza. It's not as big as the one his sister took him in the early days while they went into a Kingdom for some sort of business work his sister have to attend to. He doesn't really remember the name of that Kingdom but it has a beautiful plaza while the one he is now, is in the worst state. The water fountain has been crush by a giant demon and blood has dye together with the water. Corpses of the Demon as well as a few little human lying down dead. But her the quickly discover that there also were many survivors, some are healing many that are wounded with this green light that his sister educates him about "Magic". His sister knows a bit of Magic thanks to their Parent, though they are dead, they did teach his Sister many things, to survive the world and she uses that knowledge to keep him safe.

He suddenly stops and starts looking around like he is searching for something. Didn't find what he is looking for, he then looks at the survivor and start running toward them, probably going to seek them for an answer.

"Excuse me! Have you seen-"

One of the men with broken armor turn around and look at him, the man seems very tired and could use some downtime. Upon seeing a boy running toward him, the man in the armor turn pal and shook.

"Hey brat, what the hell are you doing here for?! Get lost now! I thought the Gaurd are evacuating the civilize?"

He then stops on the spot.

"But I have to fin-"

The man with the armor was going to protest him to leave but was cut due to an interruption. A man with a robe and a staff enter the Plaza from the other side and start yelling.

"Run! That Monster is heading this way! Scatter Quic- AHHGGG!"

Before the Man in the rob could finish, an explosion of some sort of darkness blew the man in robe away flying across toward him and the surrounding house. Seeing so, he dodged to the side and the body crash to the ground. Upon landing, he could hear flash and bone crashing so there's no way the Man live through that. There's no way he could catch a flying body coming with speed. Especially child body of his. Attempting to get up and analyze what just happen, but unfortunately, another explosive shook the whole Plaza which causes him to trip down onto the ground again. His vision is blurry but regardless he looks up trying to see what is happening, many people were blown away thank the wind force.

While lying down with no energy life, he at least looks up. Little few people get themselves up and trying their best to escape this chaos as soon as possible but because they are exhausted from battle and earlier they were sent flying, they hardly have any strength left within them. Though it seems it is every man is for themselves at this point because the those that have the strength and can move are escaping and abandoning everybody and saving themselves. While looking around, something has been sent flying into the Plaza from where the explosion was caused, but now that he got a better look at that 'thing' it was a warrior with weird red armor. The warrior landed on the ground and regain his balance by stabbing his long sword into the ground while being slite back. trying to stop from being push back by the force, he drags his sword with him and creates the long line on the ground that was cut by his sharp blade, the sword must be powerful alongside it wilder to not have been broken by now being used like that.

Finally stoped, the warrior quickly stood up and lunch himself back to where he came from but was meet with another warrior with a dark silver armor. When the two meet, without delay they begin to clash with their blade as soon as they in close proximity. Godspeed clashing and force of each hit from both sides shock the air itself. The fight was so intended that each parry blows wind away and shock the ground. Both sides are powerful but if people have to say who's more powerful, then probably the Warrior in dark silver armor. How? while they both are equal in power and speed, the Dark warrior is using a giant shield on one hand while the other hand is wielding a long thick sword while his opponent is wielding his sword that has a long blade with both hands. His armor seems to be a full body armor and it seems it is very heavy than the red warrior. To be wearing something that heavy and swinging a heavy sword and shield like swinging a light stick, it clearly shown that the Dark Warrior is far superior to his foe.

While spectating the two mighty warriors clashing out, somebody then joins in the fight, it was a beautiful lady in light armor while wielding twin sword. She tries to strike the Dark Warrior from behind but proven his might, he sword lock the Red Warrior blade and with his god-like speed, bashing his giant shield at the Female Warrior who change into a defensive form immediately after seeing it was too late to evade the Dark Warrior countering. With no choice, she took the full blow with little defend with her two swords, being hit by a mighty strength, she been sent flying toward the building. The Female Warrior also show that she is also a great warrior herself, instead of being crash into the building, she landed on the ground just like the Red Warrior she tries to stop herself from being push back by stabbing both her sword to the ground, though it seems the force was so great that she couldn't stop at all. Almost hit the wall, she did a backflip up to the building wall and land there, after that she uses the wall to launch herself to the Dark Warrior while doing so she cracks the wall a little in the process. Learning her mistake, now instead of rushing toward her target with full speed, she landed nearby and assist the Red Warrior by clashing with the Dark warrior from the other side. Hitting the Dark Warrior from both sides will give him no room for a breather and if he ever slows down or gives them both an opening, it might be the end of him. At least if he does let his guard down, but after 5 minutes of none stop clashing, it seems that the Dark warrior hasn't shown any sign of slowing down whatsoever, but the other two instead.

After throwing a few more hit, both of them then backed themselves away from the Dark Warrior. Made sure they are at a safe distance and then began to try regaining their breath. they both were panting heavily while the Dark Warrior stood there composedly while not showing any sign weaknesses.

"We can't win like this! He keeps absorbing our energy every second we're fighting him or even be near him in the matter of fact!"

The Red Warrior nodded to agree with her.

"We have to end this right now or if this keeps up then we will be forced to retreat...And I despises the ideas of running away from a fight! Let's give him everything we got!"

"Alright!"

They both ready themselves while the Dark Warrior was just listening to them talk now taking a stance.

"Come and struggle some more! Oo great warrior! Give me your best attack and I will respond in kind!"

The Female Warrior smirk at her foe.

"You heard him, let's show him our ultimate attack!"

The Red Warrior laugh at that.

"At last! I can go all out!"

After saying that, the Red Warrior withdraw his sword back into his sheath.

"[Blade Enchantment: Inferno Dragon Blade]!"

Suddenly the surrounding air becomes hotter that cause him to sweat a little, he turns toward the Red Warrior where the heat seems to waver from and what he saw was out of fantasy story his sister would tell him about. Flame rosed around the dragon carving of the sheath and the end cap has a dragon head that shoots out the blazing fire that burns whatever that stands in its way.

"[Razor Edge]!"

A short faint of light glow under his sheath where his blade is.

"[Elemental Boost]!"

His flame grew brighter and stronger.

"[Mana Burst]!"

The Red Warrior body glows red.

"[Secret Blade Art: Fang of Tyrant]!"

He turns to the opposite side where the voice came from. It was the Female Warrior, it seems it is her turn. The twin sword glow white for a brief moment and disappear, nothing fancy happens, compare to her partner, but her blade seems deadlier for some reason. Those blades, seem to become sharper too.

"[Razor Edge]"

Both her sword glow for a swift moment just like the Red Warrior.

"[Mana Burst]"

Her body glows red.

"[Hidden Movement]!"

The Female Warrior body becomes blurry.

"[Secret Art: Lighting Fusion]!"

Electricity began to revolve around her as well as her twin sword.

"[Swift Footstep]!"

Her feet glow blue.

After that, it seems the both of them finish with their preparation, now just waiting for some sort of signal. Awe at the sight of them, never had he seen anything like this before, he did remember his sister use some the Martial Art but nothing can rival this. He could feel the air becoming even more intent when the two combined.

"Oh? It seems the both of you are done...Come then! I, the champion of my Supreme master! Will take both of you on! Show me what the peak of humanity has to offer to a Servant of the Supreme Being! COME BRAVE ONE!"

Not even readying himself for the powerful attack, he only took a stance, and that was it.

'Is this guy insane? There's no way he could...'

Before he knew it, the attack has begun.

The first one that attack was the Red Warrior. He tightened his grip on the halt and draw his blade. The drawing wasn't as fast at his clashing but he could feel the weight in the swing. When the sword finally being unleashed, only then he knows why it was heavy and slow, is not just pulling his blade out but also a flame in form of a dragon came alongside the blade as he swings it. After he pulls the flame dragon out with his blade, the dragon launches itself toward its target, it also grew in size as it travels to it prey while roaring it powerful cry. If he were to stand in the way of that thing he would have died by shook and not the dragon itself if it really was the case.

Before the Dragon could reach the Dark Warrior, he jammed his giant shield to the ground and the two met, the inferno dragon hit his mighty shield full front with its blazing fire that looks like it could burn normal fire itself. But even if the inferno dragon is powerful, the mad Warrior and his mighty shield still stand his ground.

"Impossible!"

Shout the Red Warrior.

Still taking the blow, a flash of lightning appears in the sky high above him. It's the Female Warrior.

"How about eats some of mine!"

While in mid-air, she charges her strike and did a spin downward straight toward the Dark Warrior, who is still taking on the Inferno Dragon.

"Hump!"

Let go of his Shield that is still tanking the dragon and grabs his longsword with both hands to form a defensive stance, ready to receive her smite. Like a lightning strike, she comes down with unbelievable speed leaving a trace of electricity. Within less than a second, she strikes the Dark Warrior with everything she got, she put everything in this blow. But that makes no difference for the Dark Warrior, he blocks the powerful smite with his long sword with ease.

Landed on the ground she looks up in surprise and shook.

"Wha- It's not over yet!"

Waste no time she did an uppercut aiming for his open belly, but unfortunate for her, The Dark Warrior didn't permit that by hitting her hand to disarm both her weapon with his sword pommel. His counter forced her to let go of her sword because of the sudden pain, both of weapons then flew to the side away from her reach. Useless without her weapon she jumps as far back as possible and manages to avoid a blow from her opponent.

The red warrior was going to help his friend but seeing this as an opportunity to wait for an opening, running to the side of his foe shield to have a better vision and went he manages to get a view of the Dark Warrior, he wastes no time and leap forward because opportunity was screaming at him that it is time. He gathers his remaining strength in his strike and dash behind his foe. Within a second he is behind the Dark Warrior and without any delay, he strikes. The attack for sure will be fatal, if not a kill hit. Once he unleashed his strike, he is expected to hear a flesh being cut but instead, he heard the sound of when he was clashing against his enemy, the sensation also feels weird too, like his blade is being held back by something. He then looks at his blade and eyeing his sword to the tip of the blade, seeing what was the cause, he was shooked.

"Wha-"

"You have underestimated my reflex and agility, Red Warrior..."

There was a hint of a disappointment in the Dark Warrior voice. The tip of his blade is being locked between the Dark Warrior sword cross guard and the blade. It seems that when the Red Warrior swings his sword, the Dark Warrior was fast enough to place his sword into the position for his opponent blade to slide along the edge and stop by the cross guard. After that, all the Dark Warrior have to do is twist his sword and he catches his prey.

"And now, your consequence"

The Dark Warrior then yank the Red Warrior sword to the side and swiftly pull his sword back and hit his foe in the belly with the pommel.

"AAAGGH!"

He then did a weak front kick to the Red Warrior just to put distance between him. After that, he follows it up with a shoulder charge and hit the Red Warrior, though the distance gives him no room to deliver a powerful charge. But, with his unreal strength, no task is impossible. When he delivered a shoulder charge, he sent the Red Warrior crashing into the building across from him. A brief moment passes and the Red Warrior still hasn't shown himself after being blown into a house, meaning he was out of the fight.

"One down and...one more to go! [Darkest Javelins]!"

The Dark Warrior sword filled with darkness as he swings his blade behind him shooting out multiple dark spears, launching toward the Female Warrior, who is trying to rearm herself. She turns to look at the threat that is coming for her but it was too late, she manages to dodge most of them but unfortunately, three did hit her and drag her along with it until it pierces the wall.

"AAAHHHHHGGGG!"

She screams in agony while desperately trying to get the spear off of her arm but couldn't. The first spear is on the middle of her hand while the other two are at her forearm, even though she is panicking, the spears won't budge for slightest, it's steady and firm because it has pierced the wall deep enough for it to be so. With all her strength, she tries and pulls the closest spear she could reach but it seems that it's attached to the wall itself. Not giving up still, she then felt something, or to be precise, she can't feel her right arm. Not sure if it the spears doing or her arm is done for.

"Don't waste your time on such foolishness, Warrior. One of the Darkness effects in that spear is to paralyze its target and slowly consume their energy while drifting you away into your slumber. A perfect tool to catch a pray...of course, if it didn't hit anywhere too...fatal"

She shot him a deadly glare.

"What are your game?! What's the point of all this invasion?!"

The Dark Warrior stare at her for a moment then chuckled at her question, When he finished, he then pointed the tip of his sword close to her face. Seeing this, the boy starts to panic.

"Get away from her!"

He doesn't know why but he became very scared after seeing her losing. After that, they both turn toward him. The female Warrior face was blurry so he couldn't tell what expression she is making. Even though he couldn't see her face, he could somehow tell that she was worried.

"Wha-why are you here, brat?! Get away from here! Run!"

The Dark Warrior turn his attention from the boy to the female Warrior and let out a dark laugh, hearing so made the Female Warrior become grim.

"No..."

"You know...I do enjoy seeing human...suffer. And it's more enjoyable when a fine warrior such as yourself break before me"

"Nonono, don't you dare!"

The Dark Warrior turn around and walk toward the boy slowly, while the Female Warrior furiously trying to free herself but it was no use.

"Get away from him! Please, I beg of you, he's just a boy!"

Igorning the plead of the Female Warrior, the Dark Warrior continues to advance toward the boy. For him, it seems that the closer the monster gets, the bigger the Dark Warrior seems to become. Watching him getting closer is like seeing death approaching him with no hits of mercy, only here for one thing and that only, his life. Before he knew it, death is in front of him. The Dark Warrior stood tall in front of his very eyes, The warrior shadow swallow him whole leaving no trace of light around him, he felt like small frighten creature being corner by a mighty beast. He couldn't see his eyes because of the helmet but he could feel the cold gaze from the warrior, stare into his eyes.

"You just happen to be in a wrong place and a wrong time, boy. With all this mess around, maybe it will teach you to run away instead...But unfortunately, there won't be a next time for you"

With that said, the Dark Warrior points his blade at him.

"You will be a sacrifice for my own amusement. But I will grand you a painless death, for this is because of my own selfish desire. I will give you that much"

The Dark Warrior ready his sword to go in for a stab.

'I'm not sure if this real but...it quite scary'

The tip of the blade that is coming toward him, slow down. Not just that, his surrounding also starting to slow down, with this, he gets to live for a little short while. But it doesn't matter, time delay or even the world start to freeze, he still going to die regardless. But at least.

'So this is it, huh? My childhood wasn't that fun anyway...'

A flash of a memory glow before his sight. What he sees is a woman standing on top of a hill facing toward the dawning sun and her back toward him. She has a beautiful long white hair, wearing usual overall every morning when she takes care of the farm stuff, such as feeding the livestock and water the plants. After she done she would cook him delicious breakfast and play with him if she has free time. She would some time encourage him to be friends with kids in the village that are in the same age as him, he would always refuse to because he tries it before many time but always get a glare or walk away from him. his last attempt went downhill really fast. The neighbored kid got tired of him trying to fit in and throw a fist at him. After that, he goes grouped up by all the boys while the girls would just watch on the side.

The beating was shorth thank his sister interception, kicking some of the bullies butts. But of course, he and his sister were not very found by many in the village so the parent of the neighbors' kids came to their house and start a fight, demanding apologies. Knowing that those parents were wrong, she stood against them. Later her lover came with haste to support her as well as a few good neighbored that are on their good side. Even though after their parent die she would immediately start planning their survival, sell all the useless junks for money and keep the good for future. She also took over their parent farm and began to harvest the plant and livestock to make money. It didn't go well at first because she hasn't still get used to farm work yet, even with their parent teaching. Word only get you little experience after all, but doing it would gain you more. Over time, she did. After a year after their parent death, she was able to manage the farm by herself when she was only seventeen at that time and he was only thirteen. Thank her cheerfulness personality, she was able to get on few neighbored good side and soon be friends with them. A year later she found a lover and he was a man that cares for those he treasures the most. Since he is her little brother, her lover also cared for him and try to help him out whenever he could. At first, he didn't like the man but with time he became very thankful to him. He made him and his big sister happy, with that, he respect the man, and look forward to having one more member to become a part of the family.

But sure enough, all happiness have it end.

The Goblins army attack.

There were many bodies lay on the road and yard. Few was slaughter and the rest was captured. Most that are dead are the resistant while captive is the one that tried to flee.

As for him?

He was able to escape the raid, thank his big sister lover. The man manages to fend off some of the Goblin while buying time for him and his sister to escape. Still, he was no fighter, so it was only to be expected that he would fall just like all who resist. Though he had no skill in combat, he did last longer than the veterans who was an Adventurer, how? Because he has a reason. And that his lover, her little brother.

Usually, Goblins hardly pose any threat to the human at all with a few or a solo duel, but because of their number and because of the bigger one that called, Ogres was the one that does most of the work. He could never understand why would those big guys take orders from a small creature such as the Goblin. Perhaps they made a deal? He doesn't know for sure. But it doesn't matter anymore because they win. And he loses his home. Or maybe not, he still has his sister, anywhere she goes or stays, it will always be considered home to him as long as she is there. As long as she is there.

Just before they thought they've escaped, somehow the Goblins tracked them down and hunt them like an animal. Arrow fly passes them several times, it didn't take long when a lucky arrow headed straight right for him, but his sister manages to take the arrow for him instead. The arrow pierces close around her heart, it was a death blow, she knew it, and he knew it. Come to a conclusion, finally unable to flee any longer. His sister backed herself on the wall and prepared herself to protect him even if it cost her, her life. He knows that she had already lost most of everything, one of them is her lover. And then she only has him left. He knows she can't bear it if he dies, just like him. In order to grantee his safety, she has to defeat all their current enemy so that even if she die by blood loss because of the fatal wound, he will be able to escape without being chased by a bunch of savages.

She was taught some combat martial art by their father, with that she will use it to protect him.

He is weak, he couldn't do anything, not even able to fight alongside her but instead hiding behind her back as she protecting him from that green ugly midget. He can only watch her as she charges toward her enemies while they are surrounding her. Trying to overwhelm her with the number but she cut them down one by one with each martial art. She only has her hand at first as a weapon but quickly she began to use their weapon against them. She wasn't the best fighter but she has been practicing every now and then early in the morning. But with those little training, she was still a novice or the like, as she always told him every time he praises her. Even if though she is a novice, luckily for her, her enemy right now is the Goblins. In a way, he felt very lucky for her to have this weaken enemies than more train difficult opponents in this dry state.

Cutting down her foe after another, she also took quite a few hits herself but he could see that she is enduring it to continue fighting. Her movement also began to slow down each second the battle dragging on, they did use most of their energy to flee after all, and his sister is also wounded. Seeing her in a bad state while protecting him really make him feel pathetic.

Being surrounded of what is left of the Goblins, three of them make quick haste to surround her and swiftly attack his sister together. But she will have none of that and dash toward killing one of them and break out of the cage to secure her surrounding. after that, she saw the opportunity and went for a quick slash on the second Goblin, quickly killing him by cutting his head. Facing the last remaining, the Goblin trembling, fear could be seen through his eyes. Seeing through his fear, she dashes toward him, the Goblin panic attack her to which she easily dodge and stab the fool throat, and finish him off by cutting his head off clean. Can never be too careful and double tap.

After finishing her last enemy, she quickly scans her surrounding. See the coast has been clear, she was able to let out a sigh and relax.

Seeing his sister end up in victor really bring great joy and relief to his heart.

"Sis! You did it!"

She turns around and gives him a warm smile, it was one that seems to say, "Everything is ok now". With this, they can finally escape. With this, there is hope.

At least that what he was hoping for.

As he watches his sister making her way toward him, he noticed something is lurking around in a nearby bush and as he take a closer look, suddenly something jumped out and it causes him to trip backward. Immediately he shot his head up toward the thing that popped out from the bush and it was a Goblin with a spear, and he is charging toward him head-on pointing the tip right at him.

"Die!"

As he watches the spear getting closer by the second, with no other choices he accepts his fate. He's going to die here hopelessly because his legs won't move due to his cowardice, let alone his body. His weakness lets fear conquer his body and mind and the result will cause him his life. As he wait for the Goblin to do his worse, he closes his eye and waiting for his end.

'This is how my going to life end huh? Sorry, Sis...'

Finally, the spear he awaited pierces the flesh. Though he heard the sound he was expecting for, he couldn't felt any pain. Maybe he dies and didn't feel anything? He couldn't say for sure because of this darkness that blinds him from the truth. Curious to know whether he is in hell or heaven, he slowly opens his eye and was met with horror. Someone saved him from death, but of all people, it has to be her, his big sister. Her big back protecting him from a view of cruelty, the spear he awaited has already gone through the center of her body. Blood began to spread through her clothes as well as dye together with her pure white hair. Even though she is at her worst state he was able to manage to hold the spear back from any further penetration. As she enduring the pain, she turns around slowly and gives him one last smile. Suddenly his sister started to blur away and being replaced by someone one else, it's was the Female warrior. The tip of the giant sword that belongs to the Dark warrior is in front of his face with blood dripping, the blood belongs to no one else but the female warrior. Even though he couldn't see most of her face, he was able to see her smiling at him brightly, just like his big Sister. She let out a few words while blood leaking out, suddenly his sister face blend together with the blurring female warrior face.

"Live..."

Screaming in horror he woke up from this nightmare, why everything he holds dear has to shatter into pieces? All he ever wanted was to be in his sister's arm until he grows up and take care of the very person that raise him and care for him while nobody else desired him? Is it because of these bloody curse eyes color that he never asked for? Why him? He never asked for much but why life had to take every little precious thing he has? This kind of greedy world, if this is how things are going to continue, he would rather just die alongside his sister.

While moaning in sadness, to his sudden he was stuffed into some sort of softness, it felt smooth and has a really nice smell. Realized something, he immediately stops because of this familiar sensation. This warm welcoming feeling of caring, it has to be! He slowly trying to emerge from this irresistible warming softness that blinding him from his guardian, his desire to see her alone managed to cast this irresistible aside then survey whatever is squeezing him. To his surprises, he was met with a beautiful woman that welcome him with a warm smile that of alike of his sister. She has a beautiful raven hair that is darker than the night sky, her bright amber eyes that seem to suck your soul the further you stare at it. But he disregarded all of her stunning looks and focuses on her, warm, welcoming smile. The expression on her face made him feel, safe. The look that says everything is going to be ok. Just like his big sister did before she die.

Imminently the past memories of the event that took place after the raid of his hometown rush back at him after he was reminded of his sister. Overwhelming with agony he was about to continue moaning in pain but the woman that is cuddling him began to embrace him even further while sliding her smooth hand through his hair, calming him down.

"It's alright, you don't have to suffer anymore"

"Who-... where-"

He tried his best to talk but this dry as a rock mouth is not making it hard for him to pronounce any proper word.

"Shhhh. Don't force yourself if you can't. Right now you're in no state to be doing anything. Here's some water, I'll feed ya, so open i"

She took out her canteen and bring it near his mouth. He hesitates but her relax expression just made it hard for him to resists. Finally gave up on her request and slowly open his mouth. If she wanted him dead he wouldn't be here by now and plus, this thirst really making it hard for him to get some answers. He need to know what happen. Seeing him comply made her smile even more and went ahead and feed him slowly. After she finishes she put the canteen away and two more new faces appear swiftly out of nowhere with worry expression.

"Is everything alright?! We heard a scream..."

The young man with a woman face asks with worries and the big man with a thick bear nodded.

"Yep, he just had a rough dream that's all"

Both of the of them nodded in understanding of the woman.

"Then should we prepare him some light meal? We're not really sure how long has he been captive... And it's better for him to have something in his stomach, even if it's only a little"

The woman approves of the big man.

"That's a good idea. Ninya can I trouble you and bring this boy some meal? A soup should be fine. I don't think his current state is ready for a heavy food just yet"

The young man quickly nodded.

"Alright, but I'm not really sure if Lukrut has finished preparing our dinner but I'll see what I can do"

"Thanks. Now then, Dyne, can you cast [Lion's Heart] on him? He's still scared after his nightmare, it seems"

"Got it"

The giant man then cast something on him, suddenly he felt better. He could feel his heart rate calming down.

"Wher- where am I?"

"Hmm? Well, it's hard to say because we were able to set up a camp a little further from that hell hole you were in"

He then began to scanning his surrounding, it seems him and these two people are the only people here. Then that would mean...

He slowly turns toward to her who still has the smile on her face.

"Was I the only one?"

Her expression changes immediately when he questions her that and replaced with a worries looks.

"Is there someone close to you that also been captive with you?"

He hesitated and then shake his head slowly.

"...N-no, the only two people that are close to me was my... big sis and her soon... to be her husband...But they both were..."

Before he could say anything else, she silences him with her figure.

"You don't have to force yourself, I can take a hint of what happened to them. It's better for you to stay away from that painful memories for now, after I feed you, you have to go to sleep, can you do that?"

He was a little troubled with it but regardless follow her advice. Though, he at least wants a few questions to be answered.

"I'll do that...If you just answer a few questions that are bothering me...or I won't be able to sleep"

"Hoo? Alright, deal. Go on and ask away, kid. I'll try to meet your expectation but I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an accurate answer because I wasn't one of the people that save you"

He nodded.

"I see...Then first of all, since you said you weren't the one that saves me...who was it then?"

She smiles at him.

"A few of my close friends and one of this big man friend was the one that went ahead check out the Base of the Goblin army, which we have already taken care of before we sent a few people there. After that, they said they found you in one of the tents, and here you are~"

"I see, then I would like to thanks them immediately...if that's possible"

She nodded, understanding the boy wishes to show gratitude toward his savior.

"You will be able to do that later, so for now just rest so that you will have the strength for the upcoming journey tomorrow. You don't want to suddenly pass out because of the lag of energy, don't you think that might have been a little bit of an embarrassment sight?"

The boy was going to protest but then he stops and thought about it. A second passes and he nodded, agreeing with her.

"Good. Don't worry, they won't be going anywhere anyway since we're going to have to look after you until we find a solution. Unless you have some relative that is welling to take you in?"

He shake his head.

"I see... Don't worry kid, I'll single handily help you find a new home. And if worst comes to worst I'll look after you until you are capable of yourself"

After saying that, she points at herself with her thumb and give him a bright smile.

"You can count on me, ummmm...I think we forgot something important..."

She scratches her smooth blushing cheek.

"Introduction! So, my name is Seiso, a rookie Adventurer and that big man over there is-"

He turns to the man she gestured toward to and meet the big man that is smiling, The man nodded and introduces himself.

"My name is Dyne, a fellow Adventurer myself."

The boy tilted his head in confusion.

"A-adventurer?"

They both nodded at the same time.

"Yep, our job is to hunt monster for money and take on people quest to solve their problem and stuff. You know?"

Now that he remember it properly, his sister did tell him about these "Adventurer". They help people in need, something along the line. He doesn't really remember clearly of what was said about them from his sister because he never met or care about them too much. And it was a right division because certainly, no "Adventurer show up to help him and his sister back in that chaos. Though, he was saved now, only him while everyone else he knew is dead.

"If what you said was true... then why where there no Adventurers there to help my Village?"

His question made the both of the Adventurer froze. Dyne then slowly turn toward the female Adventurer, Seiso, with a worries expression while she surprisingly, shown a different reaction that he didn't expect. She looks at him dead on in the eyes and didn't show any sigh or any emotion, unlike the big man.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that stupid question..."

He and the big man was stun, they didn't expect this, Dyne then began to panic.

"S-seiso! that's not a bright way to sit with a child..."

While still locking her sight onto his, she halts the big man that was going to scold her.

"...While that is true, Dyne. But in my opinion...I think he is already an exception. His childhood has already been crumbled by that filth. He has already lost everything and whether he likes it or not, he has to become an adult now because no longer will anyone look after him. It's all him now"

He swallows his dry saliva. Her word might be true but who is she to tell him and decide anything for him? The only person that he allows to do so is his big sister.

"You may hate me after for this but I will now treat you like an adult. Just like how you want it"

He tilts his head and it causes her to smirk.

"I can see it in your eyes now, you know? The desire for power, to become stronger... You tired of being weak, right? You want to become capable and not rely on other"

He was stun, what she said was true. He always had been depending on his sister for almost everything, Food, home, warm bed, and happiness. A long awkward silence she sees through his desired, nobody had moved an inch while he stared down onto the ground in thought while Seiso was waiting for him. Another long silence pass and seem like nothing has happened so Dyne then tried to suggest something but the boy looks up at Seiso with determined in his eyes.

"Please help me become stronger!"

After he asks for her help, Seiso continues to stare at him blankly. Her stare may not seem to be like a predator, but it is. He has never seen a predator before so he can't really be sure of how it feels to be looked upon by them, but if anyone were to look into her right now they will probably feel very uncomfortable. He felt like she is studying him but for what? What does she seek from him? He couldn't really tell because of her composing. Finally, he notices something, now that he thinks about it, he felt very nervous and dizzy like there's some sort of pressure pressing on him, and it seems like the source is coming from her. What happens if that was the case? Is she trying to make him back away? He doesn't really know how is she is doing such a thing, making him slowly regret his word, regret seeking her aid. But whatever she is doing or how it's effective it alright. He could feel his good power swiping away and began to feel helpless again. It really reminds him of that day, his sister last moment. The pathetic state he was in while unharmed, looking at his dying sister as she said.

"...Live"

He widens his eyes when his big sister last word reaches from the darkest abyss of his nightmare. She wants him to live. And in order to continue living... he needs strength, to survive this cruel world that has the well to take everything away from him, those that he loved dearly and as well as his life, the life that she sacrifices herself for.

Now, will he not do anything and root away or listen to her last word.'

Finally made up his mind, he took a small step forward closing up to her, refusing to back down. He then shot his head up and look into her eyes with burning passion.

"Please make me stronger"

There's no going back for him now. He has decided that he will make his sister last wish come true no matter the cost.

Seiso continually putting pressure on the boy but he shows almost no sign of backing down. Because of that, she couldn't get rid of the smirk on her face. She didn't know how but she accidentally discovers that she could direct pressure with just by looking intensely, she not really sure but maybe this is similar to what people call it "Killing intent". Humanity could never achieve doing such a thing but it seems this new world said otherwise. Ever since she and her friends came into this world, she began to experiment with many things, especially normal things that human was unable to do. Knowing that she is basically a werewolf, she began testing thing that werewolf was able to do, or at least in her knowledge. Her sense of smell became more sensitive and as well as her physical capacity has been boosted up a lot. She could smell many things that she unable to in her old form, her nose was so strong and sensitive that she could smell something from a far distant and the detail of it, also she found it a little weird but she was able to accurately remember the smell too. Of course, it also comes with a drawback, such as a shitty smell, it's like hell when she smells one so she had to find out if there's a way to avoid it or simply suck it up and deal with it.

And then there's this new body of her. She feels very light, despite all of this light equipment she is wearing. Her body becomes more flexible and stronger. Then there's also her vision, she can read movement more clearly and because of that, she was able to read her opponent action as light as day. At least for the weaker being. She needed to test further later on and perhaps ask her friends to help her with it. But that has to be for another time. Because right now she has something far more important that she needs to focus on right now, and that's the boy in front of her.

Still not waver from the small among of pressure she is putting on him. The boy has shown worthiness of himself, she like that, very much. She doesn't like weakling that does not willing to stand and gain power but beg for help and hope that someone or something will come to shine upon their despair. Though she does not find anything wrong with that, she just doesn't like it. No, more like she hates it, with every passion she has. Especially fool that don't take the opportunity when it in front of them and whine later when unfortunate show up in front of their door. She hates it, because it reminds her of her old self, her old weakness. Because of that weakling trash, he's dead. Along with those she holds dear...

"S-Seiso, are you ok?"

The new arrival snapped her out of her past though. It was Nniya, holding a bowl of soup potato and a single bread. Now that she realized it, everyone was staring at her with confusingly, perhaps she was gone in her mind for quite some time that made them worry.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought. That's all"

The both Adventurer nodded.

"Anyway, thanks for bringing the food, Ninya. I'll take it from here, so you guys go ahead and din with the other"

Ninya tilts her head.

"What about you? Aren't you going to eat too?

"Don't worry, I got some food with me"

She pulls out a bread and jerky with a smile.

"See? Plus, I don't want to eat plain food... from a pervert. Sorry"

They both shook their head, denying that fact.

"You're not really wrong, it's kind of plain, yes. But it's just a food for us to be filled for the journey, that's all so nothing fancy"

Dyne nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, since you said something like that... does that mean you're good at cooking?"

Upon hearing that kind of question, always made her beam with like pride.

"Of course, I am. How about when I do get a nice kitchen going, I'll let you guys be the first people here to taste my cooking skill? I promise you will never want to eat another plain food ever again once you have a taste of mine~"

""Ohhh""

Ninya was all sparkling while Dyne, like any adult, just nodded.

"I don't really know how good food tastes like so I'm looking forward to it, Seiso!"

"The only delicious meal that I have ever eaten was just a cook meat, so I have to agree with Ninya here. I'll be in your care when the time does come, Seiso"

Hearing their eagerness to taste her food made her nodded several times with a glee smile on her face.

"Of course, Of course. You won't be disappointed, I promise you that"

They both smile.

"Anyway, go on ahead and enjoy your dinner with the other. I'll be here if you guys need something"

They both nodded.

"Alright, then we'll be going. Please take care of the him"

"Umu"

After saying their regard, the both of them left, leaving her and the boy alone near the wagon. Dead silent and the only notice that could be heard was the sound of the cracking bonfire that she set it up because she has already decided that she will not move and prefers to be left alone right now, with him. While watching Ninya and Dyne making their way toward the other, she felt something was repeatedly pulling on her cloth. She looks down at the source and it was the boy that is laying on her laps. The serious look on his face while trying to get her attention was what she would consider it, the most adorable thing she has ever witness. It's almost like a puppy trying to get their Owner attention. His little action almost filled her face with glee but she immediately cast all that aside.

"S-sorry, I almost forgot about you"

"So... will you train me or..."

'You really want to get stronger, huh? You might not be him...but that fire in you... really'

Thinking of him made her chuckle and made the boy confused.

"It's nothing. Alright, I'll help you until the condition are met"

"Condition?"

Seiso slowly nodded.

"I'll tell you when the time comes. So, for now, let's focuses on your recovering and when I see you are fit to start your training I will let you know"

"But how long do you think I will become stronger?"

She let out a low chuckle and smile at him.

"Who knows? You just have to do your best on getting that rest"

He stares at her for a second and nodded his head.

"...Ok...you promise?"

She swears, there should be some sort of limit level of cuteness or else her nose will start to bleed. She then extends her pinky toward him, he then looks at it with confusion.

"...What are you doing?"

Seiso tilts her head.

"You don't know what this is?"

Upon hearing it, he slowly retracting his head and his cheek slowly becoming red,

"I-is it bad...if I don't know?"

"N-no, it's ok if you didn't know. But anyway, let's just say it's a way to make a promise to one another... something like that"

"Oh, ok. So what do I need to do?"

"Easy, you just need to lock your pinky with mine and then we make a vow"

Complying with her, he slowly locks his with her.

"I promise I will help you become stronger. If, you're willing to grain me this one request..."

She pauses and looks into his eyes.

"Find yourself a new home...a new family. Can you do me that much, not just for me but for yourself and perhaps... your sister"

Just by observing, she can already tell that he is considering her words carefully but still hesitating a little. So now for the final push.

"I can't speak for the dead but I just want you to think about it... don't you think that those who hold you dearly wouldn't want the best for you? For you to find happiness? You knew them the best so go ahead and consider what would they want for you"

He then looks at her, still a little lost. He tried the last time and it didn't go well, it got his sister in trouble with most of the villager, while it's true that there were a few that stood up for him and his sister but they still were out number regardless. But he still feels thankful that there were any at all.

Seeing him lost in thought made her chuckle and it causes him to focus on her again, wondering what was so funny. She waves it off and smiles at him, a smile that made him stop resisting, and give out.

"Why not just try? For yourself and for them. If you're too scared to take the first step then let me help you... but if you want my help then you really need to try your best"

Just like her, hope.

Suddenly he remembers his sister last wish.

"...Live"

That was what he needed. He looks back up at her, still having that smile on her face. Waiting for him.

"...Ok...I'll try"

For some reason, upon hearing his answer really made her happy. He could tell because it was all over her face, that bright smile that full of glee... He really likes it. He just met her and he has already trust her. Maybe it's because this warm air around her that felt just like his big sister that made him trust her so easily.

"Good, I'm so glad you decide that instead of giving up. If you did...I think I would have beat you up"

"W-wha?"

That really caught him off guard. Now she is laughing and waves it off.

"Just kidding, just kidding, I wouldn't do that

The boy sigh in relief.

"Anyway, before I feed you... You haven't told me your name"

"My... my name is K-kai... Kai"

Seiso nodded satisfied.

"Well then, it's a pleasure to meet you, Kai. I'll be looking after you from now on until the time comes when you're ready"

"Thank you... Miss Seiso"

Hearing how the boy addresses her made her giggle.

"You can just call me Seiso. No need to be so humble to me, so relax and do what you want. Be yourself"

"Ok..."

After saying that, a mighty roar could be heard. They turn toward the direction of the sound and to Seiso surprise, it was from the boy's belly. Staring at for as second and another roar was let out. Embarrassed the boy, he quickly hugged his belly in attempted to hide it and look down in shame, but swiftly he looks back up to face Seiso.

"Can I please eat now?..."

Couldn't hold it anymore, Seiso burst out into laughter while he buries his face in her belly, she continues to laugh at him and began to feed him when she's finished.

After some time when they finished setting up their camp, the night began to devour the light and immediately. Thankful there was more than enough people to make the process gone very hastily that they managed to finish preparing their camp just on time before the dark night hit the horizon. Darkness surrounded the two bonfires. One of them is smaller than the other because it was enough for two people that are occupying it. While the latter is slightly bigger because it was necessary to warm up 9 people, they're surrounding the bone fire, some of them is enjoying their meal and chat happily with one another, but one. That person was Momon, staring at the two people on the other bonfire. While other chatting with each other, Mormon is observing Seiso, who is feeding the boy he had recused. It seems they manage to save the boy, and to be honest, he was glade. Even in this form, he's still don't like the sight of innocent youngin dying so cruelly.

He doesn't really know why but seeing one of his longtime friend feeding a kid was new to him. He views her as a carefree slacker but up for anything that seems fun to her. Because of that, this new sight of her is very amusing to him. It kind of making him wonder if she has anything hiding even more. It made the Overlord curious.

"It seems the boy has finally awakened"

Knowing who it was, Mormon to look over his shoulder to look at his friend.

"Yes, but to be honest with you, Silver...I was expecting him to be unconscious for at least a week if not less, based on his condition"

"Indeed"

The Silver Paladin agreed with Momonga. After seeing the boy condition, he also was expecting the boy to be awake in about a week and a half, or if worst, enter the state of coma. But witnessing the boy early awaken did caught him off guard. But still, he is not really sure if this is a good thing or the other. He never encounters something like this before so this situation is very new to the Justice manic. That's why he will leave that matter to someone else that has more experience to judge the situation. If not, then he will have to step up and do something about it.

"Also, Momon. I have something to share with you about, regarding Seiso"

The Dark Warrior tilt his head.

"Seiso? What about her?"

"...I'll discuss it with you later... Something like this, it's better in private"

"...I see, then feel free to approach me when you see fit"

Touch Me nodded his head, appreciate his friend for understanding.

"AH, Momon! Sorry to interrupt you but can I ask you some question?"

Momon turns away from his friend and now faced the young Warrior.

"It's ok, so what do you need to know?"

"Ah, thank you! But anyway, I have been wondering for a while but I couldn't find any suitable time to ask... where did you guys get those gears? The craftsmen are absolutely incredible! So I was wondering where did you guys get it? It must have been expensive, right?"

The man question made other lean toward, waiting excitingly for the Dark Warrior answers. And it kind of troubling the Overlord a little bit.

"Well, you see... let's just say a dear friend of ours made it for us as a farewell gift. And yes his craftsmanship is topnotch among the other master craftsmen where we came from"

"""""Ooooohhh!"""""

Everyone eyes in the Sword of Darkness became sparkling and it made the Overlord became slightly embarrassed about it. It's true that one of his guildmates made it but it wasn't a farewell gift. The man made it because simply to level up his crafting class and thought it would be a waste to just discard it or sell it off since nobody is willing to buy low-level items. Though, the low player is willing to do so on the auction house, but why waste money on a gear when you could get a better one off from farming dungeons and to touch it off, better stats. The only items people are willing to buy are mostly anything that involves end game contents. And it's true that there are plenty in the Treasury, but Momon finds it foolish to bring anything valuable outside of Nazarick. If anything important was to fall off into the wrong hands then that will be quite troublesome indeed.

"Those greatswords on your back must be very powerful"

The young caster asks with excitement.

"Ahahaha...not really. There's nothing special about it. Two simple swords, that is all"

"Even so, it seems like it was out of legendary fairy tail. A piece master of art"

Dyne Friend agrees with him.

"And you must process an incredible among of strength to be able to able to dual-wield them... You really are incredible, Momon. Of course, your guys as well! You all are indeed very strong! Perhaps even stronger than the Warrior Captain!"

"W-what?! Even stronger than the Warrior Captain?!"

Nfirea was at a shock.

"Yep, luckily I managed to see his tournament in the Kingdom. He is very strong for sure, but I can safely say the Momon is much stronger than him! Though I think Yamato is a little stronger than Momon...and scary too"

Everyone agree with Peter on his last statement and it causes the big Samurai to look at his Ninja friend.

"Am I that scary?"

The tall Ninja chuckle at his Takumi question.

"With that mask alone? And in the eyes of normies? Very, very my friend"

"I see..."

Some laugh a little at the Red Samurai.

"But with all that said... I highly doubt that you guys belong in our league and somewhere beyond... perhaps Adamantine-Rank? Or even beyond that..."

""Ohhh! Really?""

Nfirea and Ninya become very exciting.

"Yes, I'm very sure about that. And to prove it even further, there's hardl- no, nobody, that I know could duel-wield two great swords like that. To be able to manage such a feat, one must require a lot...a lot of brute strength. Something like that is beyond my capacity..."

Suddenly Peter frown, probably realized that his dream is impossible to accomplish.

"You must stop thinking way too deep into the future, kid. Everyone has to start somewhere step by step. Or are you thinking that you just magically gaining strength without work? Do you want good gears? Work for it, there's plenty of ways you can obtain goodies. Through connections, loot, or make it yourself"

Peter looked across the bone fire toward the Giant Samurai.

"...Can I?"

Takemi rubbed his forehead, even though he is wearing a helmet and mask.

"Stop being such a wipe like that Blondie over there and have a goal. Without any, then you won't have any motivation, and without motivation, you won't be able to achieve anything great. God! What am I? Your father?"

Peter then went into a deep thought and nodded his head.

"Yeah, you're right!"

"Right about what? His being your father?"

Takemi quickly shot a glare at the tall Ninja.

"Ni-Zedd!"

Nishiki chuckle at his friend.

"That's a payback back for this evening"

"Haa? You really did hold a grudge for something so pity such as that?"

Nishiki crosses his arm.

"Who knows?"

The Giant Samurai glare at him even more.

"Now, now. You guys are behaving like a kid. Especially you, Yamato."

"W-what do you really mean by that, Silver?"

"Earlier you were able to finally say something so wise, like ever. I was so proud of you but now, I will take my new opinion of you back"

"HAAAA!? What does that suppose to mean, Silver!? Was I no more than a child in your eyes?"

Touch me just shrugged.

"...You...you Justice Manic!"

"Aha! Yamato! I have a proposal for you! Join our causes to drive this Justice Manic away, and the name of our organization is "Dirty the Pure Flower"! Join us!"

Takemi was at lost.

"The Dirty what now?"

"It's called "Dirty the Pure Flower", have it right! Also, we currently have two very active members at this moment. Seiso and I have decided to fight back against that fool over there!"

Nishiki then pointed his figure at the offended Touch me.

"Hump! Team up all you want but justice will always stand tall against all odd!"

"There's he goes again! Quick, Yamato. Join our cause! This matter cannot simply be ignored and everyone has to take a side"

"I don't want to play your stupid game!"

As Momonga watches his friends being silly from sideline line, he felt happiness filled his empty heart. He was grateful that he wasn't the only one that came into this new world. But even so, it would have been lovelier if everyone in the guild would have come into this world as well. He knew that kind of thought was selfish of him to even consider it, so he immediately cast it all aside, not everyone wanted to be imprisoned in this world. Few of his friends that are currently stuck here with him wanted to return back to their original world, return to their duty. He has no right to force them to be here, after all, even if he wanted to, he could even think about such a thing. Or at least, he should not.

"Momon! You too shall join our causes against that delusional fool over there, justice is false, I tell you"

"No Momon! Join me instead! Justice is always right! Join justice for I know the way!"

As Nishiki and Touch Me struggle against each other to win him over, all he could do was smile.

Truly, he truly glads he wasn't alone.

Boring and short, right? Sorry, but when I was writing this chapter, I hardly had any motivation at all. I'm not bored of my work or anything like that but I simply wanted to skip to the good arc. So what I may be doing from now on to speed it up the story and skip some part, like what I did on where I skip on them setting up their camp and replace it with the Boy flashback. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. See you all next time and have a good one!

P.S: Also just to let you guys know, I will never be planning on giving up on this story. And I'm also thinking of starting another Story of the series called Akame ga Kill. The plot will be totally different than any of it out there and the main story itself. The major thing that will change is that what happens if instead of corrupting Empire, become peaceful Empire instead? Instead of dark and twisted personality Esdeath that like to torture for fun and tump on the weaklings, become a fair person and general? Since the Empire is not corrupted, the Rebels would never have been exited due to never any need of it in the first place. How will the story be told? What did you guys think? Good or no good? Should I give you all more detail of what will the story be about? Also, it will be Esdeath x Tatsumi because I like this pair :^3
