Chapter - 2. One Arrow Child

Oh…!! Swishhhhh!

A 25-centimeter knife was plugged into the heart and at that moment the knife was pulled back quickly so that in the puncture section it gave off a lot of fresh blood. After thrashing a few times, a wild deer that was hit by the noose was immediately killed on the spot.

"Phuuwh. But why would a wild antelope be trapped here? Strange, but this snare is not to catch a deer but a giant turtle of this forest. Especially when the weather is raining like this, why do these deer roam?" Egi said he was confused to see the strange incident, and the strange incident he had only experienced for the first time.

"Ah come on, I have to go home immediately and bring this gazelle back to the village. I'm sure the people in the village will be surprised to see what I bring tonight." Said Egi while showing her small smile.

A few minutes later, he immediately packed up and headed back to his village with some of the antelope he had cut into pieces. On the way back to the village, a glimpse of some oddities just back to make Egi think about it. How could a wild antelope end up in a trap? Why do mammals can roam at night, and especially today is raining? Egi did not understand and began to be filled with high curiosity until he constantly turned to look behind him while walking.

For a moment Egi suddenly stopped walking and then fell silent for a few seconds while glancing sharply at his back. However, behind him there was only a nighttime scene filled with dark colors. Although in the forest at night it looks so very dark, Egi can still see the area around it clearly. From the small Egi was dubbed as a walk night by the people in his village because both eyes were able to see clearly into the darkness of the night. The people in the village were mostly hunters. Not only did Egi have such eye sight, everyone in the village also had it. It's just that, the ability like a walk night can not be owned by everyone. Walk nights belong to only one person of each generation, and they are born one hundred thousand after one hundred years. People born with this talent will be dubbed as the next walk night, someone who will potentially become the leader of a hunting squad or as the leader of a village.

At this time Egi tried to put the results of his hunt and while looking at the focus towards his back, after which Egi slowly closed his two eyes. Visibly, Egi began to focus himself and try to do something.

"Hhhhhh…!!! I really can't do it like you said." His screams were upset that he could not use the technique to sharpen his hearing like his father had shown him. Instantly he re-embraced his quarry and continued his path. Despite being born with a walk night talent in him, Egi still has limits. Currently the ability he has now is far from perfect, for now Egi can not see clearly more than 50 meters from his position. Basically the ability of walk night he has now is only limited to the ability of a C-level adult hunter.

Not long after that anxiety began to arise in the heart, Egi felt something that made him feel uncomfortable. "I feel an oddity? But what, what not-don't this weirdness there's also a link with a wild, trapped antelope." Egi argued in his heart.

"This deer runs in the dark of the night because he feels afraid because he will be hunted. Who is hunting today? The people in the village are all doing the traditional ceremony, who are looking for a catch tonight just me. With this beast's poor eyesight at night, without the antelope realizing it had stepped on the noose I had made. But, are these gazelles really being hunted? So, if it is not the work of another hunter, then there is only one answer that can confirm it. Well then, it means there's a predator around there." Said Egi glancing sharply towards his pitch-black back.

"I have to hurry away from here, I feel something not wearing is going to happen. Before I actually meet the predator that made this wild antelope run all the way here, I have to go back and tell this to the people in the village." Egi Say.

Egi immediately rushed to his village while looking for the fastest route, and the route was only known by Egi with his father. This route is so extreme and not easy. The road to go down a hill that is usually passed by him is to turn back past the low point to the foot of the hill. But the route that Egi takes and passes is now the opposite, indeed spelled out very quickly to the destination but also with danger. Because that route is through the valley directly.

Because he was used to and often used the route as physical exercise with his father first, passing the steep route is now very easy for him who is now.

From a distance above the high cliff, Egi saw faintly a bright light that was burning dimly. Unable to see clearly enough of the place, he quickly reached the highest point of the hill and tried to monitor the faintly lit light again. After a deep look, the light turned out to come from his village.

"Huh..!! what light is there in a village this bright? Tha-that's. huh! It burns..!! Is the village on fire!?!?" Egi was spontaneously startled by his thought after looking at the light. Unsure of his thoughts, Egi rushed to his village filled with anxiety in him.

A bright red color glows to every area of the dark forest. The light that is not so bright, gives a poignant song and accompanied by a dance from the shadows. Cooling everything must be one form, the bright red color that lights up will eat whatever is near it. But at that time, the color could not chew all that was. Because he shares with his friends.

Fifteen minutes passed, after descending the hill Egi was finally able to set foot in front of the village gate with a pale face. With a mind that was mixed in his head, Egi dropped a bag containing a lump of wild antelope meat that he just caught earlier. Instantly, Egi ran into a fire that burned all the buildings in his village. In his head only thought of his family, brother, mother, and father. 

"Farah, mom, dad. Everything where?." cried Egi continuously while running around.

After running around looking around here and there, Egi did not visit also find his family. All along he walked and ran all he saw and met were the corpses of villagers lying everywhere. Several times Egi repeated shouting as loudly as possible while calling his sister, mother, and father until he finally met someone unknown.

The dense blood flowed and flooded the ground around him standing up. Egi slowly walked over and approached the two men in black who he saw in front of the village chief's house. Under the man's feet, he saw two bodies with familiar clothes in his memory.

"Huaaaaa. Farah! Ibuuu..!!" Shouted Egi full of hysterics, he was already unable to stem the sadness after seeing the two lifeless bodies were his sister and mother.

Instantly an unstoppable emotion also came out from within Egi's body. Angry, hate, and vengeance. All one by one Egi showed with a sharp glance towards the eyes of the two people standing before him. The overwhelming feeling of sadness had now in an instant been transformed into something else, that is, something that was transformed into a sentiment full of desire to retaliate with killing intent.

"Ho. It's scary to look at you, boy." Gio.

"You...!! Killed you! I kill!" Egi was full of anger.

"Kill me!? Haha..! You want to kill Dad! Come on, try and kill me now!" Gio Sahut.

"Cannot be used!! I'm gonna kill you!" Said Egi while showing him a knife.

A knife was suddenly thrown Egi towards the chest of Gio and Ben, but easily the two men avoid the swing of the knife and keep the distance from Egi about 5 meters. The swing of the knife began to back Egi lesatkan bertubi, but still nothing hit. When a knife shot close enough to Gio's chest, Gio immediately stopped him by brushing the tip of the knife with two fingers flanking the blade interjected. Instantly, Gio immediately threw a hard kick towards Egi's leg. After being hit by the kick that hit both legs, Egi also lost balance in the air and in an instant Gio gave Egi a punch towards his cheek.

Egi was immediately bounced 15 meters from the distance Gio stood. Undaunted in the slightest, Egi again stood up with trembling legs and the gaze of his two eyes also seemed almost completely blurry. Not far from his position, he saw an arrow fall lying in front of him. At first glance seeing the arrow his eyes again felt normal, when glancing at the arrow Egi remembered some memories there. After that flashback, an aura of killing determination churned back at him. Egi took a bow on his back and picked up the arrow and aimed a shot at Gio. Egi pulled his bow very tightly and unhesitatingly slid the arrow right towards Gio.

One arrow shot towards Gio very quickly. It looks like Gio will not be able to dodge and fend off Egi archery from such a close distance. However, Egi's shot did not hit the target at all, Egi's shot missed thinly beside Gio's neck. Because of a slight visual impairment due to being hit by Gio, it makes Egi a little difficult to adjust the shot.

"Haha..!! Where'd you go, boy? Your eyes are broken. Ahaha..!! If I am so grateful, because your suffering will end right now."

Gio immediately ran towards Egi by directing a hard blow and it was precisely aimed at Egi's head again. Instantly Egi lowered his body with a squatting position and at the same time Egi floated a knife in his left hand that he had prepared. 

The knife at that time was also directly directed to the stomach of Gio. Because it is not that easy, the knife that Egi lesatkan also does not hit anything other than scrape the expanse of empty air without a trace.

However, Egi attack looks not just a lesatan just an ordinary knife. After Gio managed to dodge by jumping Egi to land behind him, suddenly an arrow shot towards Gio.

"Death kauuu…!!" Egi Say.

Whoooosh…!!

The sound of objects flashed quickly from above Gio's head after successfully landing behind him Egi.

"What..!?" Gio was spontaneously very surprised when glancing up it was clear that an arrow was right pointing at his head.

Splash….!!! (even fresh blood splashed to the ground).

Seriate…
