Heroes In Other Worlds
THE STORY OF HYAKIMARU

"I want to ask, can I?" Kenta Ken asks Hyakimaru for permission, before he questions him.

"Please, what would you ask me?" Hyakimaru invited Kenta Ken to ask. Because actually, he was also curious about what Kenta would ask him.

"Look .. we want to find out who is suitable to be King of the Kingdom of Zephyra. So, we would like to ask you, do you feel that you are suitable to become a king in the Zephyra Royal Palace?"

Hearing Kenta Ken's question, Hyakimaru lowered his head while saying, "Of course .. Of course I don't deserve to be king. I'm a cripple, because I only have one eye."

Hearing Hyakimaru's reply, Kenta Ken and his teammates smiled happily. Because in the end, they found the right person to be king in the Zephyra Royal Palace.

Yep! Of course the person who deserves to be king in the Royal Palace of Zephyra is Hyakimaru, because from the answer it is clear, if he feels unworthy to be king. This indicates that Hyakimaru is a humble person. Of course, that humble person is one of the antonyms (versus the word ) traits of being arrogant.

"So your right eye that you covered with the black cloth ...." Kenta Ken deliberately hung his sentence, although he could have guessed that Hyakimaru's right eye covered in black cloth was a deformed eye (can't see ).

"Yes! My right eye was already destroyed, because that time ...." Hyakimaru was intending to tell the story that caused his right eye to be shattered. "Can I tell you this?"

"Well, we will gladly listen to your story" said Hazuki, who immediately responded to Hyakimaru's remarks. In fact, Kenta Ken did not like Hazuki's actions that directly allowed Hyakimaru to tell a story, because he thought it would be a waste of time. However, in order to keep Hyakimaru feeling, Kenta Ken just kept quiet and ignored Hazuki's decision.

"All right, I'll tell you." Hyakimaru will start telling his story. "Seven years ago. That time ...."

Flashback ... Hyakimaru puffs

_____________________________

In a Talent City. The city is still included in the territory of the Kingdom of Zephyra. Of course, the people who lived here would definitely always be taxed by the soldiers sent by the king from the Zephyra Royal Palace.

In the time leading up to noon, some soldiers of the envoys of the King of Zephyra Kingdom came to this city to withdraw taxes to the people living in this Talenta City. Due to orders from the king, the soldiers came to each house in the city to withdraw taxes. If anyone does not pay the tax, the soldier is ordered by the king to kill him. He was a very cruel king to his people.

"out! Or we'll break this door down by force!" exclaim one of the soldiers while banging on the door of Hyakimaru's house.

While Hyakimaru who is still in his house is hugging his mother because of fear. "Mamaaa .. I'm afraid."

Hyakimaru's mother was actually also afraid, because this time he did not have a penny to pay taxes. Because of course, the soldiers who are pounding on the door of his house will attract taxes. If he could not pay that tax, then the soldier would instantly kill him and kill his son.

"Mama also do not know how, they will definitely withdraw taxes. And like our neighbors who could not pay taxes, they were killed very cruelly. Mama is also afraid, son," said the mother, tightening her arms to the child.

"Hey! Quickly open the door, or we'll break it down right now!" threaten the soldier.

However, Hyakimaru and also his mother did not deny it because they were very afraid. If they opened the door, if they did not have the money to pay taxes, the soldiers would have killed them.

"How about it, Mamaaa!" Hyakimaru had already started to feel tense, his body was shaking, his heartbeat started to beat violently. Even though he is now in the arms of the mother, but still his body trembled wonderfully because he was so afraid of her. In the child's mind, he imagined he and his mother would be killed by being stabbed or slashed sadistically by the soldiers for answering 'no money to pay taxes'.

Because with such an answer, they would definitely be instantly killed by those soldiers.

Why is it like that? That was because, those soldiers were already in control of the evil power of Demon King Totemo Hokori. Because right now, all the soldiers of the Zephyra Kingdom are under the influence of the evil power of Demon King Totemo Hokori.

Not getting a response from the owner of the house, the soldiers immediately broke down the door of the house firmly until the door was broken.

Hyakimaru and his mother were also getting scared and trembling. They feel that death is in sight.

"Hey! Why didn't Daritadi open the door?" The soldier asked with a snarl. "Let's pay the tax, or we'll kill you!"

"Sorry, please give me a week, will definitely pay! Right now I'm not penniless." Hyakimaru's mother answered honestly, although she knew, if she answered like that, the soldier would kill her and kill her son. But he hoped that a miracle would come if the warrior would pity him, even if it was impossible, because the warrior's heart and mind were already affected by the evil power of Demon King Totemo Hokori.

Hearing that answer, one of the soldiers instantly pulled out a sword from his lair. "As the king ordered, if we can't pay taxes, then we'll kill you right away."

The soldier walked up to them with the intention to kill.

"Please, you can kill me, but please, don't kill my son!" hyakimaru's mother said as she spread out her hands in front of Hyakimaru.

However, the soldier paid him no heed, he instantly slashed his sword towards Hyakimaru's mother.

Very interesting if imagined! Hyakimaru's mother's head slipped out of place as the warrior's sword slash slashed down his neck. Blood from the mother's neck immediately spurted to hit the face and clothes of Hyakimaru of course.

"Yamaoooooooooooo!" Hyakimaru immediately screamed while crying hysterically seeing the incident right in front of his own eyes.

"Now, I will kill you too, little boy!" The soldier stared intently at Hyakimaru. "Prepare to catch up with your mother!"

But strangely enough, the ten-year-old boy was not afraid to get angry. His eyes glared at the soldier while clenching his hands tightly. "I will avenge my mother's death! I'll exterminate you all!"

The soldier paid no heed to the words from Hyakimaru and instantly slashed his sword towards the ten-year-old without any mercy.
