Chapter 41

With the use of Fiolle's fire, we evacuated everyone as we are all surrounded by her flames to protect us from the insects. As for Saypher, just like what he did in the game, he was aiming for the core of the horde. But unlike what happened in the game, he did it much easier since I told him some clues about that.

Which is why, we avoid having lots of casualty in this incident.

“Ethan watch out!“

Fiolle shouted as there seems to be a flock of insect charging at me. It was dead already, maybe this round ball of dead insect was part of those who got roast in Fiolle's flames.

With me using my reflexes, I successfully avoid the insect whom scattered on the ground.

”They are dead already don't panic“

I utter as I again focus my eyes in where Saypher was. He was doing his all to get to the core and smash break it.

As long as he successfully did that, the boss of this horde would come out.

Cane Magnus, he is part of four heavenly terrors. The insect master. Leading the north, all insects are on his side. He is not someone to belittle. But if it is Saypher, I know he can do it

A loud explosion was heard. It is loud enough to make everyone cover their ears. Where did it came from?!!

I frustratedly asked myself as I was so pissed of with the annoying sound that came.

But to my surprise, that very same annoyance would make me be reminded of the time where one of the great Magnus would appear

Did he do it already? That was faster than what I expected it to be! Saypher is really no joke!

”You!“

Hi voice was as deep as the well connected to the core of the earth. With his shadow forming as well as the mist in green of color appearing, the came Magnus made an appearance.

”How dare you…. How dare you foolish humans to have the guts to ruin my plans?!“

As he shout, there are insects covering his body and flying as if they are confetti being scattered.

I hope that Saypher would remember my words…

'The real point of that person is not his heart but his head. As long as you let his head be in tack with his body, no matter how many times you cut his arms and hands, it will keep on regenerating'

He was supposed to be the second Magnus that he would fight with. But due to some reasons, he ended up killing other Magnus before cane Magnus.

I do hope that it would not affect his power so much. If so… I have no idea whether we can easily be out of this situation or not.

”The world shall hear my cries!!“

I heard Cane Magnus shout with all his might as he counter all the attacks that was given to him. Why am I just watching them? I need to do something too!

But… my whole body… it was as if it was glued in this very place… I have no idea why it was like this… I have no idea why this thing is happening to me…

No, I need to move… I need to tell Migo to watch out for the insects with a green eyes… so that he wouldn't lose a finger or two. I need to remind Kheina that using her Claymore to smash squeeze those past would be much better than using it to cut them halves. I need to tell Everyone the things they needed to know for them to not gain heavy injuries.

If I don't do so, I think I would regret it will all my life…

Why…

Why am I even doing this?

Where did I even start to give care for them?

For all I know… it was me who keeps on wishing to be out of there way. To be out of their path and avoid conflicts. Isn't it I who wishes to be separated to them? Isn't it I who wishes to be far from the problems that they would cause?

So.. Why do I have a fear in me.. Why…

{What is happening?}

{I don't know, there are smokes all over the place}

{Hurry up and fix it already, what would you do if it affects his stay in that place?}

Am I hearing conversation?

Now that I realized it… why does the place seems to have bug or what…. Not the bug that was an insect or so, the bug you can see in the computer who have virus or what

{Hurry, the breathing he is making becomes unstable!}

{But what should I do I am not a doctor!}

{Ah! I remember it! The switch! Hurry and pull the switch up! The emergency panel he told us before!}

{Right right! Wait!}

Their words are also blurry. I can't understand anything that they say. What are they even talking about?

I have no idea what happened. I have no idea who are the owner of those voice I am hearing. They sound more like a mouse sqeeking like that. But to my surprise, it seems like by body started to loosen up and I was able to slowly gain back my control. If just a while ago, I can't even look at any other direction than where I was currently looking, right now I can see where I wanted to look at.

Weird… what happened… is it a bad thing or what?

”You… shall be hunt in the abyss… of… darkness“

Blinking my eyes, I tried to analyze what happened. But before I know it, Saypher's hand is already full of green fluid, it must be the blood of Cane Magnus…

Right in front of him was the corpse of the one he just fought, with his body full of scars, his eyes turn dead as there are lots of dirt in his body. His eyes look at me as if it was I whom he was looking for.

With his feet barely having he strength to walk, he keeps his breathing steady even if he seems to have trouble keeping it.

”Saypher?“

I called him but it seems like he had no left power to answer me. One thing I just notice is that, everything around us are quiet. The shouting of people fighting insects as well as the fire turning those insects into a crisp are gone. It was as if it all faded just right after Saypher kill the man who was behind this incident.

Ding ding ding

Tons of notification was sent to my system but I had no chance to even look into it. One thing I know is that, Saypher was already in front of me. Looking a t me as if he wanted to ask something.

”How…“

He started with his breathing turning heavy

”How did you know what to do….“

Saypher mumbled between his heavy breathe.

”How… can you tell… those thing…“

Catching his shoulder before he even collapse on the ground, his eyes shows how eager he is to know those information that I have to tell.

I… didn't know that he would be this much fixed on his character as someone who was filled with curiosity to know the real reason behind this world…

How could I answer him now?

This is bad…

This is—

There, his head landed on my shoulder as my hands are touching his. With me being able to see his back, I can not help but had my eyes wide open…

”Your are badly injured yet you still have the chance to ask me this things? “

Due to his last fight with Cane Magnus, he may not have his arms cut off but… his back was full of insect bites that are large enough to make his skin show bloods. His back was in bare and his clothes was ruined. How can this guy even have the courage to ask things than make himself get a proper treatment?!

“I really don't get why most of the protagonist are going to such lengths… ”

I bit my lips in annoyance as I let my head frown. I hate it… I hate this… why do I feels like it was all my fault?

“You moron… Saypher you moron idiot…”
