Sha-------
The sound of rain did not stop even though a long time had passed. It seems like the weather logic doesn't apply there.
"Well......"
Bern sighed while looking at the sky goa. He just wanted to faint. But he could not do that considering he was in a condition that did not allow him to release his vigilance even for a second.
Also his entire body continued to continuously make himself want to vomit blood in a few seconds.
His other friend slept on the other side of the cave and their condition was fine of course after drinking the magic potion. But the effect made them all sleep as if fainted.
****
"alright. I promise."
The 2 meter tall man easily swore and a black thread appeared circling the man's neck. That's the sign of death's promise agreed.
In 24 hours, if the promise is not fulfilled, the thread will make the man's head cut off. Once done on the run of that promise, the thread will disappear.
"Well........"
Bern sighed and released the man he choked. He kicked his head remembering all his injured friends.
"Are you grudging?"
The 2-meter-tall man seemed to want to chuckle with Bern's actions.
"Just a little reply considering what he did to my friend. He deserves to die."
A hint of fire of anger appeared in Bern's eyes. But Bern showed no hostility to the man in front of him.
"You're very interesting. It's."
The man threw 5 magic potions at Bern and Bern immediately did not think of using them on himself.
"Bern, you just use this on yourself."
Lewis said that even though he still endured the pain. Bern breathed hearing that.
'Children are still children. How can I use this for me when I'm an adult here?'
Bern never thought to steal from a child even if he was going to die of starvation. It is also better if only he suffers from the defeat of this leg.
"Shut up and just swallow."
Bern said that coldly and then stuffed the liquid-shaped magic potion into their mouths until they fell asleep due to the effects of the potion.
Bern threw away the cloth that covered his face and wiped the blood on his face until it was not left. The big man's eyes looked widened and wanted to say something before being tightly shut when his other batch appeared.
After his other friend drank, the rope around the 2-meter man's neck disappeared leaving the group unaware that he was giving the bad boy a magic potion through a death pact. Then they were thrown into the prison. All of their weapons were confiscated, of course.
****
From the bad things that happen, little good things come up. Bern was finally able to slightly relax his tired body in that prison. Although his alertness did not go down, he could sleep even though he was not soundly. How could he sleep well when the pain kept waking him up?
"Mnn..."
They all move to show them awake. Their vision blurred as they woke from a deep sleep and the first sight that entered their eyes was iron bars.
They began to be disgruntled. But the second glance was Bern who was sitting leisurely as if it did not hurt at all.
"Bern, you're fine, right."
Anton quickly wants to check on Bern's condition. But Bern of course immediately dodged and nodded lightly.
Then their eyes caught someone in that prison. Although his pupils and eyes were colored black, they recognized him.
The eldest son of Duke Zeke, Thomas Zeke. The person in their lyrics looked down like they already knew what they were thinking.
"You, you're Duke Zeke's eldest son, right."
Thomas did not dodge and nodded lightly. The regret of losing was also all they experienced filled them. They want to vent it on the child of the person who should be responsible for this. Everyone in the prison looked unconcerned because they felt the same way.
But they just wanted to open their mouths.
"Shut up."
They all instantly shut up in Bern's cold voice. Although his voice was cold, he still sat down casually as if the cold voice was not coming from him.
"You're Duke Zeke's son?"
Bern asked and Thomas nodded lightly again.
"How old are you?"
Thomas's confused.
'Why do I want to ask my age?'
"15."
But he still answered desperately.
"Well....."
Bern sighed and looked at the sky cave like he felt all his strength drain.
"Do you want to vent your anger on a child who is shaking in fear and even underage? Be a little ripe."
They were all in the cave jerked including Thomas.
"If you want to blame, you have to blame me. I felt a foreign presence but I ignored it. Be mature before acting in this situation."
Everyone is down and ashamed. Especially those who were much older than Bern. Also blaming Bern for rejecting the magic potion when he was the one who needed it the most? How could they? The man in the cave also saw how Bern fought and supported his friend. They had no right to be angry even if it was Bern's carelessness to ignore the existence in that situation. Also very embarrassed because Bern had given everything while they just sat and looked because they were so afraid to fight.
"Tongue can make enemies and kill you. Remember, if you're just gonna say something hurtful to someone else, you better cut that tongue out."
Anton felt most of what Bern was talking about was right in doing it. Bern doesn't talk much nor does he ever seem to hurt others with his words.
"Don't be so moody. The spirit is."
Bern patted Thomas gently on the shoulder as if coaxing him.
Moreover, Bern in his eyes continued to give calmness to the group.
Bern thought of a plan ahead of him. He could not just sit around waiting without a plan.
"Ouh, what's your father's name?"
All confused. Bern was not interested in the rank of nobility. To him, everyone was only human when they were planted back into the creator.
"Rashal Zeke."
Thomas answered obediently. In that darkness, no one could see Thomas' sparkling eyes. Feeling as if he had come back to life after receiving a few words from Bern, he really wanted to know who the person in front of him was.
He only knew his name was Bern because of Anton.
"[The tremor across the ocean.]"
Bern stopped instantly as blood rose up his throat. He swallowed it and bluffed his teeth slightly enduring the pain.
"[Sound is communication.]"
The screen popped out the face of Duke Zeke who seemed to be angry, panicked and all feeling anxious. Everyone was shocked to see that.
Bern quickly turned the screen towards Thomas and groaned in a corner while holding his stomach. It felt like he had been destroyed several times.
"Bern....."
Anton, Zion and Lewis wanted to scream. They can't and bite their lips. They wanted to cry seeing Bern groaning in the corner. Ailen and Uen also felt like nails in their eyes looking at the scene.
"Tho...!"
"Shhhhh...."
Thomas cut off his father. He watches around her. He can't ignore Bern's sacrifice to contact his father. Every second is Bern's destruction. Just look at how he groaned in the corner of the cave as if he did not want to show his weakness.
He continued to explain what happened with the help of Uen the fourth prince. Duke's eyes ignited a rage that seemed like it would not be easily extinguished. When finished, the screen is disconnected.
Bern's groan is a little better. It seemed like the disturbance of mana was getting stronger for communication magic and transportation.
"Bern, you're too much."
Zion said that with a helpless face. More pain than Bern's in his run overwhelmed him.
"Well..... Anton, borrow a shoulder."
Bern was just joking and wanted to lean against the wall of the cave. But his hand instead slipped and ended up leaning on Anton nearby.
Bern, who had run out of strength, could no longer move his body. He lost consciousness on Anton's shoulder.
Anton didn't think to push him or anything. Bern must have been in so much pain that he fainted from using mana. A little blood flowed out of Bern's mouth. The blood that flowed was the blood that Bern had no time to swallow before fainting.
"Let's relax our bodies."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They will not be able to do anything pound if they are too tired.
****
Everyone is fast asleep in the cave. The 2-meter tall man returned. Yet no one noticed it considering he was an assassin class.
But even so, Bern quickly opened his eyes as if he felt danger.
"Eh, didn't you faint to?"
The man squatted in front of Bern. Even though he had crouched down, he still looked like a mountain in Bern's eyes.
"I'm just sleeping. How could I pass out in this situation?"
Bern spoke coldly. However his eyes did not show any hostility towards the man in front of him.
"Then, just sleep."
The man violently forced Bern to drink something. Bern who is in pain can't fight back and drink. But instead of hurting him, it makes him a little better. Even though it still hurts, it's not too bad.
Bern's eyes blurred as the effect of the magic potion was sleepy.
"Why?"
But Bern still keeps his consciousness.
"It's really interesting. You can fight your drowsiness. Already, just sleep."
The man's large hand patted Bern's head gently and Bern finally lost consciousness after feeling no danger.
"Well.... Go straight to sleep when my killing intent disappears? It's like radar. Haha...."
The man laughed and rearranged Bern's position on Anton. He disappeared in a few seconds like he had never been there at all.
He crouched down on the branch with his right hand propping up his chin.
"This weakling really sucks."
The man could not help but castrate at the actions of that collection of demon skulls. Yet he had not even been able to reach the main accomplice of the group.
"Satan organization, what is your real purpose?"
The man only investigates it because it looks attractive on appeal to his boring life. But the longer he was with them, the more disgusted he was with the organization.
His eyes were back on the cave where everyone was being held. More precisely, he saw Bern leaning on Anton.
'He doesn't look like a kid who's new to the world.'
The man ignored his feelings and went back to pretending to be a member of the group.
"Yo, who's after this?"
Someone asked and the man could see Bern's image at the very top for sacrifice. His eyes turned cold.
