Chapter 40
“Now, now, look what do we have here. Are you seriously trying to hide behind the back of that mere brat?”
“Kael, stay back”
With this large black misty thing showing around Kael, did he just awakened his skills as such to this state? But… isn't it too early for him to be able to manage his skill to this extent?
No, I have no time to think about that. Why is he here anyway? This is too far from the room. Did he come here after hearing the commotion? Well, I did create ruckus like this to anger Jinre. But.. That was all due to the reward that I can get!
“But he is trying to kill you”
“That is not the point. I deliberately make him be mad”
“But he still wants to kill you. I can never let my friend die…”
Did he also learn that in those movies that he watch? But… there is no point of making an argument with him. He seems to be focused on his idea.
Looking at Jinre who is not yet making any movement, should I be thankful for the fact that he gives me some time to think?
A sudden shudder run down to my spine. This guy is no joke. Looking at me with that furious eyes…
With his sword suddenly aiming at me while avoiding Kael, he charge in a very fast pace that makes me almost unable to defend it.
Even Kael was surprised by Jinre's sudden action. Indeed, it wasn't something that he expected to happen. Even though I did try to make him get mad at me, it does not remove the fact that I am in no far of those who is courting their death.
“Everyone, stop!“
It was Fiolle, with her voice trying to make us stop, it did make Jinre halt for a bit second. She is rushing together with the others, everyone seems to make an appearance. Even Kheina was here.
”What is the meaning of this?!“
She shouted in anger as she saw how we almost kill ourselves.
”Jinre?!“
With his eyes full of annoyance, it is with no doubt that he was still mad. It wasn't lucky of me to still have the anger status bar of Jinre towards me since the quest is already finished.
With my hand still holding my weapon, defending myself from his attacks, I was surprised on how he draw back his sword so fast. Is he alright sigh just that? Wheew… if that seems to be the case then I guess it us fine.
As soon as things started to become slightly calmer than what it was before, Kael draw back and let his black mist disappear.
”Ask the scumbag who dare anger me“
It seems like he was still mad at me. Sorry about that bro but thank you for a thousand harto that I had now with me.
Trying to hide my smile, I was now being questioned due to my action.
”It was indeed true, Ethan, you did anger him. And that was on purpose, right?“
What should I do now? I do have a card with me to turn things back to normal and make him calm down… but… should I give it in front of everyone?
It was true, it was indeed scary back then. I really thought that I would die, if not for them interfering then he would not make any hesitation in taking my life
Still, even if I did that…
'Wai, I want to buy that thing we talked about before'
[Hewo master, it cost 200 harto, do you still want to purchase it?]
'Yes'
This is my last card…
”Here“
I give it to him. Throwing it on his side, he caught it as easy as a b c d e f g
With a glare on his eyes, he was questioning what that was.
”Just check it for your self. That was just my apology for what I did. Yes, I did it on purpose… because I want to know something“
He doesn't seem to believe be but him being calm and not targeting me is a good thing. For now…
”Sorry for the trouble that I caused“
Trying to make an embarrassed face, it would be good if they just let this things slide.
And to my luck, it seems to be going smoothly than what I had expected it to be.
Woosh
My eyes widened in surprise, a tassel suddenly appear in front of my face. Swinging, it almost touches my nose.
If not for me leaning a bit back, his dagger would probably hit my face already.
”Jinre?!“
”Yeah yeah I know“
He utter in annoyance as a response to Fiolle. He really didn't like letting things go just like that huh…
Did I somehow make the right choice in choosing those rewards over this?
I shall reflect on myself. Hah…
A loud banging sound came making a great shock to everyone. I have no idea what that thing was. Trying to remember the occurrence in the original story, after they fought with Fiolle and won the battle, why does it looks so blurry…
I heard tons of shouting in my mind. It was as if I was recalling some fragments of information in my memory
It was still bit blurry but… but…
My eyes widened in realization
”Earthquake…“
I mumbled as I felt the horrid. Not for the earthquake itself but for what comes next after the whole ground shake and move.
This is not good… why does things keeps on getting played faster??! Is it in a hard mode?
”Ethan, you have idea about this… right?“
It was Saypher calmly saying those words to me as he notice my reaction. Damn, this curious guy really is…
In the original scene in the IKINOBIRU, right after they had a feast for the downfall of the twin tower master, the flaming Fiolle, they were surprised by the earthquake that occurred. Thinking of how long it has been since the earthquake start, they didn't pay much attention into it since the building was anti earthquake of sort. But that leads them into their own grave as the building falls, not due to the nonstop shaking of the ground but due to the small forces of insects that was crawling on the ground.
There… the very familiar line suddenly becomes clear on my mind.
'Small are those who we tend to belittle. But even a big elephant would be scared to millions and billions of ants crawling up to his feet'
It gives me a quiver just by recalling it. Even a small ant walking on my desktop computer gives me a goosebumps after I saw such scene.
I can say that not all people was saved… for this game seems to show no importance to those extras that have no much contributions for the main story.
Just thinking about that makes me feel anger towards the one who created it…
He is a heartless person…
He even makes Saypher lose his hand, although he gain it back like a branch of a tree growing as he drank a potion for a regeneration sort of thing.
Ah wait, but if he knew it before it even happen, there is a large possibility that he can do it in a swift. After all, there is always a cheat when it was the protagonists!
”Saypher! Listen to me!“
If it is him, it is really possible… there is just one thing that he needs to know. If he succeeds, not only will he not get his arms cut off but he will also end it in no time!
By that, I wouldn't be worried to be eaten by those pest!
I said with all my might after being carried away with the excitement. Not knowing that my actions will be something that I would regret doing in no time.
