Chapter 27
As soon as we landed on the ground, I was thankful when those idiots didn't shoot us again. If so, I would really use all my left harto to buy something I can throw against them.
But, the fact that I only have 25 harto since I purchased a recovery potion.. here is no way I can but the bam bom which cost 50 harto each. Hah… I'm really broke
“Here we are”
Slightly feeling dizzy, I just realized that I almost run out of stamina. Maybe I did use that skill so long. Hah, bet I need to train to raise both my hp and stamina.
I also need to level up.
Picking up the corpses of the kids I saw with her, so they are really related to her huh.
Bet— ah shit, why did that albino zombie saw us?
Struggling to think of a way to stop that zombie, there was no use if I do a combat with that guy. He seems agile and any cuts and stabs won't do anything about him. He is really a one piece of an annoying enemy.
“I think we need to go”
I mumbled loud enough for her to hear. With the burns in different places, I now know where it came from.
As soon as she saw that creature charging at us, she spare no words to tell what she wanted to tell. Instead, she show it to me.
Flames. Not your very ordinary fire. Engulfing that creature— burning him to death. Ah… so the reason why he was in a melted form was because of her.
She fought with this creature too. How admirable to come up with the idea of making him meet fire. Isn't she such a great person in order to have a skill like that? It would be much better if I have some skill like that.
Manipulating things while making their weight defy gravity makes it be useful for me in many ways. But… it wasn't a thing for combat at all. Maybe I shall think about it later
“So what are your plans now?”
I asked trying to find out what would be her plan.
“This kids… are precious to me”
She mumbled as he make the five of them rest in one line.
“They trusted be yet… I can't even protect them. Aren't I such a useless person”
There was sadness in her voice. I can feel it… so well that I had no idea what I should do. Maybe… listening to her will be the best thing I can come up with.
“I let them down. I didn't fulfill my promise to them. They died because of me. They…”
“Wouldn't they be sad if they hear your words?“
Looking at me, she seems to question why I say those. It is not as if I am a now it all person but… speaking what is on my mind is not a bad thing… right?
”What—“
”They go with you on their own will, didn't they?“
Oh crap, I cut her words. I hope she don't find it annoying. Unlike that albino zombie, I have no powers to get back to life once I burn into crisp. I can't even melt and stay alive still!
”You are making them sad for blaming yourself for their death when they didn't even blame you for it. Can't you see? “
”But… they are safe in the building. It was because of me why they went to this dangerous area…“
”Did you force them? No. I bet this kids also accepted their fate. To be in a safe place… why would they go in such place?“
She didn't answer my words.
”They already know that fate that goes with them if they leave that place. Yet, they still choose it because they wanted to. Maybe…that place may be keeping them safe from monsters but you know too well that even human can be monsters too“
It is not as if I really have an opportunity to know what really happened but, judging by the things occurred… judging by the things that I witness… even if I was in their place, I wouldn't want to stay with bunch of people like that.
Although I do get their point. They are being cautious since it was for their safety but, shooting me… trying to kill someone just because they are different, what I can see it them being identically similar to those kinds that kill human because they are not the likes of their kinds.
Bang
A loud smashing sound can be heard coming to a direction not far from us.
”Shit… what was that?“
With a frown on my face, I remember those people that was going in our direction a while ago. That was some time now… I wonder why they are still not here if those is the place they wanted to go…
”She won't die at all!“
Someone shouted as pile of rocks fly up in the air. There, someone was jumping plunging down the ground.
”Kheina?“
”You know her?“
”Ah, yes… but… why are they seem to be fighting something?“
Shall we go? But.. This kids is not yet getting their proper burial
”We will get back to them as soon as we finish that commotion“
I didn't expect her to be this mature but… her choice of action is really a good one.
”Let's go“
We arrived at the scene only to saw Saypher, Migo, Kael, and Kheina fighting a small girl.
”This girl won't die at all…“
”Hey! Everyone!“
I shouted catching their attention.
”Get away from that creature!“
Saying it so loud, I bet they heard what I have said. They understand it and rush away from that creature. Without any further ado, the woman that was with me burn that creature melting.
Her flames did the same thing she did with the little albino boy zombie.
Indeed, just like the kid we face, she is also the same species as that kid
”What was that?“
”She completely burn her melting….“
As soon as the last flame went our, they look at the two of us asking questions and all.
”Ethan, who is she?“
Asking that to me, Saypher is really a curious person. Well, even I find it awesome that she can do that. Imagine, he can kill any creature he saw for the start yet, this was the only time he seems to be useless with his combat. To think that this time would come where he can't even kill his enemy, well, he may not be that op for a protagonist but…
”She can use fire. In short she can manipulate flames“
”So who is she?“
Ah… about that… I just now realized how we are together for some time yet I am still not aware of what her name it!
Looking at her, will she understand that I want her to introduce herself?
Ah shit… I think she didn't understand it at all…
”Fiolle… Fiolle Magalhaes Neives… it is a pleasure to make acquaintance“
Ahh.. so her name if Fiolle. Fio— wait what?! She is Fiolle? You mean… the twin tower master that is the flaming fire destruction??
Isn't she supposed to be the enemy of Saypher? Facing cruel reality, after she saw her family dying, she turn into madness. That is the start of how the flaming Fiolle's journey began.
Hah…
I know that they are met to see each other…
But… it was way too early for them to meet!
