Become A Human In Another World
ACT 1: Chapter 26 - The Darkness that Targets the Darkness
I am still trying to fit my body back. The [All Map Exploration] skill did not use MP at all, but I forced it to expand its range using Fehl from myself. I told you, it's killing me slowly.
Actually, this skill can be expanded by walking to an unknown place, but I can't now.
And to force him to extend his reach, I sacrificed some of my Fehl.
"Lucky for this kind of damage can be masked by healing magic." I limped off while healing myself.
Here I mean, the leaking Fehl is still not too much, and the damage per second does not exceed my healing speed.
"All right! I feel pretty good!" I stopped the healing and immediately ran through the forest.
I think this is better than having to run on a mountain with thin oxygen.
I'm a little moved given my ksksk training.
But I have to keep my Fehl from leaking too soon.
It's good I got another clue soon. I only know where they are, but I don't know if there's any special way.
I'll barge in for the final step.
?!
I caught a quick movement passing by the side of my eye. Is that an animal? No. gabe. Animals don't move that fast.
Uh, I've never seen an animal here, have I?
"Whatever it is, the movements are very fast and rough. It's like an animal's movements when viewed from its template, but it sounds like a human." I whispered slowly as I paused for a moment to notice the origin of the voice.
Although he is fast, but actually nothing compared to me.
He ran frantically, breaking through the field quickly like a pair of scissors, immediately entering the forest I was in.
"Don't say?!" I sighed softly while wearing a demonic mask on my face.
I walked slowly towards him going through. I don't know, but his instincts are sharp.
He can tell where I'm from!
Likely, he had easily escaped the pursuit of the guards easily. But it's not much different from me.
Precisely because he was in a hurry, his movements became easily legible. And his breathing had also begun to sting. I can conclude he's human.
"Stop!" Shouted while trying to reach him.
"No! I have to get help! If you can't help me, go!" He screamed without looking at me.
I don't know why I feel deja vu with this.
"Huh, it's a hassle." I jumped, caught him by pouncing on him from behind, forced him to fall with me taking over his body.
Whatever it is, she's a woman! And again, he's about 12, no. 10 years old! I think I touched something strange earlier.
Whatever I touched earlier, I'm sorry!
"Mmcph!" He tried to scream as I put him to bed, with me on top and covered his mouth with my right hand, and my left hand and right foot holding both hands.
Why do I feel like a criminal?
He's still wide-eyed, probably scared of me. How else, I feel guilty too.
She's a woman and in this kind of position, of course she's scared!
Ahh, guhum! I have to start the interrogation!
"Well, do I look like a criminal to you?" I aligned her eyes with mine, making the distance between us only my right hand shut her mouth.
A-Ahh, this seems useless. Maybe make him even more afraid of me?
"Hmmmph!!" He nodded while still trying to scream and thrashed. But I'm definitely stronger than him.
But honestly, it's pretty exhausting. Can I tie it up?
Wait!!! If I do, then this will change genre!!
"Calm down! If you can tell me what happened to you, I might be able to help you!" I said it right in front of his face.
I can even feel his breath from here.
Her wriggling legs and arms began to calm down, and the stomach that I had been sitting on earlier rose and fell rapidly, now began to breathe in a regular manner.
I also immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I jumped to my feet while picking up a big enough knife behind him, I might look wary, but I was actually the one who was stupid to forget to carry a weapon.
Ahahaha, I'm sorry!!
"Are you calm now?" I asked while extending my hand to her.
Strong grip. So obviously, I know he is not a weak noble who lives in pampering.
He woke up, with his hands he felt his whole body, then bowed in shame. Ahhh, about that, I'll apologize later.
"So, you can tell a story, right?" I repeat.
His facial expression changed again, now becoming angry, sad, and worried.
"He! My buddies! It's still there! Suzu's still there!" His screams are a bit raving.
Wait, what?! Suzu?! I'm sure I heard Suzu's name in her mess.
A-Ahh, no. Hot blood. My head feels like it's boiling. What am I, angry?
"Hand me!" I immediately pulled him, to carry him with a side sling, so that he would be in front, looking at the road.
"Show me the way!" I asked him to come back to his senses, and asked him to guide me in the right direction.
"Ah, fine!" He shouted with a stutter.
There is a high possibility that the Suzu I was referring to was the person I was looking for.
Even though it's not me I feel good about helping others even if it's not Suzu.
"Well! Keep moving forward!" He patted my shoulder gently while pointing towards the front.
He pricks himself, very unsettled in my arms. What's bothering him?
"Anu," he raised his hand slowly.
"Am I not heavy? You can leave me if I burden you." Ahh, maybe that's what's weighing him down.
Weight? Sure didn't! He's so light! To me, she's as light as a feather, you know!
"No no! You don't burden me at all." I had to raise his mentality.
"You really helped me. And again, I'm gonna need your help there." I thought of some plans!
"My help?" He seems a little unconvinced.
"However my strength, I can't be in two places simultaneously. I need you to rescue the hostages and take them as far away as possible for 5 minutes."
"For that period of time, run as far away from there as possible." My instructions to him.
"But-"
He was still a little hesitant, but I was confident in his abilities.
"We've arrived!" I looked at the entrance of the cave that looked gripping.
The contours of the ground look uneven, there are a lot of sharp rocks on the floors and they are very unpleasant to look at, even for me.
After all, this is not a good place!
"Hey! Who's there?!" A guard was shouting at me. While the eyes of the woman were a little scared.
"I'm sorry, but" I ran forward to prepare the knife I took from the woman.
"You've been involved in this matter." I slowly advanced. It doesn't matter if my killing intent leaks here.
"And I won't miss any of the people here!" I slashed the hand of the guard who was carrying the sword, until it floated away.
He was shocked and shouted looking at his hand which was now lying clutching a sword on the ground.
"T-ta-my hands! Hwai! My hand disappeared! It's sick! Really sick!" The guard was hysterical.
Tskkk! They are really noisy!
"Shut up!" I threw a big knife into his mouth, piercing his throat. It shattered instantly, making him completely silent forever.
The Beast's corpse with its shattered throat fell down, causing a pool of blood.
I slowly looked towards the woman. He simply fell silent as he looked at the corpse that was already motionless anymore.
"Are you scared?" I'm spontaneous. Obviously he was scared. I'm sure a 10-year-old kid hasn't seen what's called death.
While me? I've seen how cruel criminals are. Not only that, I have also died for it.
And therefore, I left everything in my former world. That is one of my biggest regrets.
Of course, the present me will not let criminals like them get away with it.
"Nope-no. But actually, who's the master?" Speaking timidly the woman approached while changing her style of speech towards me.
"Me?" I was silent for a moment until I pulled the knife from the corpse.
Oh yea. I haven't thought of anything about this shape, have I?
I shook the knife from the blood, smiling slightly at the woman.
"I am a Shinigami! Not for you, but for these criminals!"
