Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 24 - Alpha
"Who's there?!!" the Elf shouted as he prepared with a few horse horses in his hand.
Liu Xiu walked slowly, raising his hand and smiling meaningfully. He only walked slowly, but by showing his face to the Elf, made the Elf startled.
"You-you?!" The elf gawked at Liu Xiu's figure.
He slowly weakened his guard, and lowered his hand.
But arriving, Liu Xiu moved, as fast as he could, and appeared behind the Elf while placing his index finger on the Elf's neck suddenly arrived.
Liu Xiu's movements were too fast to be seen by the eyes, as even Liu Xiu's speed increased after yesterday's battle. So that his speed could not be followed by ordinary people now.
("What is that? Does he have teleportation skills?! That's so fast!! I don't know how he arrived to get behind me!!") the Elf shouted inwardly.
There was a moment of silence because the Elf was analyzing Liu Xiu's abilities.
"You shouldn't let your guard down just because you saw someone you knew. It's dangerous for you" Liu Xiu said smiling
"You shouldn't judge something far from you either. You're strong enough, so you should know and know the power of your enemy once you see, right? Or maybe it's because I'm human, so you don't really count on me?" liu Xiu said.
The elf was shocked because Liu Xiu seemed to be able to read everything he thought.
"Why? Confused because I can read your mind? It was all, written on your face, so you didn't have to bother explaining everything to me" Liu Xiu said.
He slowly released the lock on the Elf's neck, as the Elf had already begun to raise a hand.
The elf touched his neck, exactly where Liu Xiu had threatened him earlier, and slightly muttered those few words earlier.
("I? Afraid?! This feeling of fear... It's been a long time... I haven't felt this for a long time!!") the Elf said inwardly.
The elf turned around, and faced Liu Xiu. He immediately observed Liu Xiu's figure saying that he would save her back then. That was what was in the Elf's last memory.
"So so. You are also dead and this is nature for the dead" said the Elf while looking down.
"Why do you think that we're dead!!!" shouted Liu Xiu.
"What do you mean?" asked the Elf in wonder.
Hearing that Liu Xiu shook his head while sighing.
"You and I are not dead. Didn't I tell you I was going to save you? Are you senile? Or is Dark Magic burning your memories?" liu Xiu asked as he wrinkled his forehead.
"How could you not be dead? The seven of us have killed many people, even Adventurer Rank-A, even until some of the higher-ups of the country~" Elf looked down sadly.
"Not only that, there are so many famous Assassins and famous fighters that we have killed so!!"
"It feels impossible" said the Elf.
Liu Xiu stared in bewilderment, but then laughed out loud. His laughter did not stop, making the Elf look at him in wonder.
"I'm sure I managed to save you" Liu Xiu said.
"Do you need proof?" ask Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu then touched the Elf's left hand, then tried to control the magic in the Elf's body.
Because basically, the magic that was inside the bodies of the seven people belonged to Liu Xiu, so Liu Xiu who had more understanding towards magic could control it as Liu Xiu wished.
He played it by rotating the magic, and gathered it in one place, then formed a small fire magic in the Elf's right hand.
The elf was surprised, when he saw the flames forming in his hand.
"I-that's amazing. It is unbelievable that you controlled magic so easily" said the Elf again.
But suddenly, all the memories of what happened began to enter the Elf's mind, and made him realize. He remembered how he had Liu Xiu run, and Liu Xiu refused to leave.
He also remembered that there was a black magic that was slowly becoming as bright blue as the sky.
His head became sore, making him slightly bowed.
"Hey. What's up?" asked Liu Xiu worried. He tried to check what was happening, but there was nothing special about the Elf, who was beginning to realize that she was still alive.
The elf looked up, looking up at the sky for a moment, before finally seeing Liu Xiu's face.
After which, he recalled his dream back then, and he immediately knelt down, bowing his head as deeply as possible.
"I'm sorry for my extension, sir. You've saved my life. Not only that, you have also saved me from the eternal torment I experienced when I was in that person's hands. But instead I behaved badly to you" the Elf said respectfully.
At once Liu Xiu became confused about what had happened to him. Because, his personality suddenly changed considerably.
"Uhun! Alright. Lift your head. I didn't save you for that." Liu Xiu replied. He slightly coughed, but also while keeping his image in front of this Elf.
"Master, may I ask, what happened to the six other people besides me? I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, but did you also save them?" the Elf asked half-screaming. He looks very worried about that.
Liu Xiu smiled as he seemed to have expected this Elf to ask that.
"Didn't you see it for yourself? They were asleep in the same room as you. So they're fine." Liu Xiu replied smiling.
The elf breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not very visible. Liu Xiu was happy because it turned out that this Elf cared more than she looked.
"By the way, what's your name? Can you tell me your name? I'm a bit difficult when I have to call you" Liu Xiu said.
Instantly, the Elf was silent as if she was trying to find something in her memory, but she looked uneasy.
He tried continuously, but it seemed that it was too difficult, until his skin did not look good. Even so, he kept trying to remember it, but anyway, it didn't look like he was succeeding.
"Sorry, sir. I completely forgot what my name was. I don't know, where I came from, and all I know is what happened after I became that monster" the Elf said sadly.
Liu Xiu was speechless, thinking about the effects received by the people affected by Daek Magic.
So he now felt very lucky to be stopped by Kei when he had gone overboard in using magic, let alone Dark Magic.
"Uhum. Then then. It will be hard for me to call you. What if I give you a name? Is that okay?" ask Liu Xiu.
"Really?!! I-I begi-Uhum!! Im sorry. Please give me a name, Master." said the Elf enthusiastically.
It seemed like he was trying to keep himself looking calm, even though he was really excited by this. Liu Xiu who saw that was just trying to hold back the laughter so as not to damage his image.
"alright. In that case, I will give you a name" Liu Xiu said after quite a while.
He finally thought for a moment, to determine a name.
("I've never given a name in this world, so I don't know what kind of name it fits! Damnit damnit! I foolishly said I would give it a name!!") liu Xiu screamed inwardly when deciding on a name.
("What's the right thing when I see it? The elf? No, stupid!! Not that kind of thing! The leader? Yep. Might as well. So a suitable name is..") Liu Xiu thought again.
He observed the Elf well, while putting his chin in hand, while the Elf looked at Liu Xiu while tilting his head.
"Alpha" Liu Xiu said softly.
"Yes. Your name's Aplha. Hows it? Is that good for you?" ask Liu Xiu again.
"Al... pha?" ask the Elf.
"That's not how to spell it. Do not separate the two syllables. It's one word so you have to say it quickly. Alpha." Liu Xiu explained to him.
The elf, now named Alpha was silent for a moment hearing that, while repeating the word "Alpha" in his mouth and in his mind.
"Yes! That's nice!! L like it!! E-uh. Pardon me! I mean, if it's a name given to you, it'll always be good. I am willing to accept that name. Please call me Alpha from now on, sir" said Alpha, bowing his head.
Even so, the smile that stretched wide across his face could not be covered just like that.
