Chapter 15
“Didn't I clearly stated how we are supposed to go on our separate ways?”
Closing my eyes, my hand was resting on my head. I would totally go insane if this thing continues!
“I am not following you. Brother Ethan, it just so happens that the path you choose is the same path I planned to choose”
What is with this three? Didn't they know that I am not needed in this journey? They can go on their ways now, after all, the three of them would have no much struggles until they reach their main goals. So while this game was still on it's first phase, they have no worries to take…
“You can be all good with Saypher alone. Being with me would just bring you troubles”
Even if the truth is, it was you three who would give me troubles.
I don't want to join you squad and put my life in danger! Knowing how the three of you will rise on level for a pace that I can't even comprehend, it would do me no good to stick around with he three of you.
It is not as if I can fight high ranking monsters with this slow level up of mine…
“That is the reason why we must stick to you!”
“You seems to be in lot troubles ever since we first met”
“And even just a while ago, you already encountered another problem. I doubt whether you are a human or a magnet of misfortunes”
Ah, did I just get hit by a rock? Why didn't I manage to avoid that?
“But I still manage to survive right? Somehow…”
“This place is not the same world we had always. This is a completely whole new world. Not seeing other human aside the three of of you, I do think that sticking around would be much helpful in many ways”
“But I can't provide any help than be a burden to the three of you”
“Brother Ethan, you are not a burden… you look more like a clown which keeps us entertained…”
“I will just act like I didn't heard your last words Kheina”
She let out a giggled but suddenly stop.
“But brother Ethan, you may look like a complete hard working person that wants to achieve something even if it is not easy for you to achieve—”
Is she mocking me at some point?
“—but… I am honestly grateful on how you help me fixed this tumbler of mine. Due to a reason that someone ACCIDENTALY shot this open”
“I told you already that I didn't mean to—”
“But Brother Ethan, I do think that this journey would be wonderful with you around. Kheina would be really happy ”
Despite of the fact that she was a little girl, I sometimes forgot how strong she is to even swing that large and heavy Claymore. Maybe that was a cheat designed for her as a Claymore user.
Still, even in the original IKINOBIRU, Kheina do shows a genuine character. She says what she wanted to say. She do what she wanted to do. She is a kind of person that doesn't like to say things other than truth.
“Going in a separate ways with this kind of situation, only a total idiot would accept such thing. You should be aware of how dangerous the place have been. You can't possibly survive being a lone wolf in this dark forest”
There was a small silence between us and it was Kheina who cut it
“Saypher, this place doesn't look like a forest tho, and brother Ethan is a human not a wolf”
“Tch, and here I thought that you are strong and a genius. It seems like you lack in something, common sense”
“Hey Migo I am not talking to you!”
“And hey idiot, Sayher is not talking about a literal wolf and forest. Ba~ ka!”
Maybe I should first reconsider the silence of solitude compared to this noises of child's arguments.
I look at Saypher and he just act as if this two are not arguing. Maybe I should just go in my separate ways
“So Ethan, what is your decision?“

Just as I thought, it would do me no good to stick with this same people! With this ridiculous pacing of this event, I wonder if the whole game was speed running!!!
”Don't make any noise“
We all decided to take the path towards the center. The place we were last time was the south. And if my mind serves me right, Lion Magnus— Part of four heavenly terrors. The mammal master. Leading the south, all mammals, strong or weak is under his ccommand. Even those monsters that we encounter, with just one of his order, he can make a nation be in doom.
But… why is Saypher heading in the central area if he is not yet defeating the Lion Magnus?
I know that the mammals will lessen if that so happens… but… Lion Magnus isn't just one boss to defeat. It both goes with a land lion and a water lion. Twin Lion Magnus that takes each territory. The land and the sea.
“Saypher—”
“Shh”
I know that it was me who say that we must be quiet but this is something that I can wait before I know the answer!
“Sayphet, I need to—”
I said in the most quiet voice I can give. But my face was now facing his palm due to some reason.
“There are group of enemies nearby”
“Yes I can sense it”
What are they talking about? Why can't I feel it?
“I didn't feel anything either—”
Yes Kheina we are in the same boat. I can't understand why they can sense it—
“— than some faint steps walking”
It seems like I was just alone to not sense anything. We are in the central square, the place that serves as the breaking point in the north, south, east, and west. All enemies from those lands can't enter in the central land as to not make any changes in the flow of the story. What place they are needed to be, they can't leave that post.
“I think they are undead”
I heard migo say as he look so focused on the spot where Saypher is looking at.
Slash
Bam
With a hurried look on our behind, we saw how Kheina cut two individuals in half. That was just a short span but she manage to sense those… and even cut them swept clean…
Just as I thought, I also need to make some level up. Not because I am with them, I can be safe. I need to be strong to protect myself!
“Kheina”
Saypher called her as to scold how she let herself create those noises when the fact is clear that we must stay quiet.
“sorry, the charge in our direction so I killed them. I didn't know my Claymore would be that loud to create that noise…”
“and now we are caught seen by those creatures—” Migo mumbled. “—and they already seen out spot.
In just an instance, they all prepared themselves in combat. Saypher with his blade that have a hint of blue. Migo's arrows creating a luminescent red light. Kheina's Claymore with a vibrant brown…
In this place that is as dark as my hair, why is it only me who look so lame?!?!?
