One Long Night With Mysterious Boys
8. Other clans

Ken was amazed at the new world he saw. Humans have evolved so much! During this time Ken made a fake world in the rose garden according to what he knew and plus a little imagination of his own. He only knows about the beach, snow, mountains, rain, rain, and the things that were in the past plus the little things in the present that he knew from observing the humans who came to the rose garden behind the dormitory.

Ken had indeed peeked a bit of Alicia's memory when they first met that time, but still seeing for themselves felt very different. Much more surprising!

The world is so bright even at night, people move even though the sun has sunk. Ken paused for a while in a forest, sitting on one of the tallest tree shoots there. Looking down, above there were stars, below there were also like stars, just as sparkly.

"So this is the world that Alicia lives in." Ken smiled a little. Breathing in the air, fresh. This really smells different from what he breathed first or when in the rose garden.

"There is no war." murmured Ken.

"No exclamation dong." he continued with a smile, imagining the whole incident from he was born until now, what a long life.

Ken thinks maybe now is the time to enjoy this long life together with Alicia who must live for hundreds of years. Ken chuckles at the thought of Alicia being a grandmother later, it must be funny, will the girl still be as adorable as she is now?

Imagining it makes Ken want to see Alicia immediately. Ken continued his journey, he chose to pass through the forest path for fear of being caught by humans while running and jumping from one tile to another. He had to quickly get to the place of the nearest volcano and charge the mana magic. After the magic is full, he can meet Alicia, make a contract, and keep her old.

"Dam."

*Bruk brak brak brak bruk

Ken missteps, stepping on a small branch that is not strong enough to hold his body weight to make him inevitably have to plunge free, hit another branch below it to end up lying on the ground.

"It hurts." murmured Ken. But he was quite happy to feel the pain again, like really living.

His body this time really sucked, actually he was still very tired after destroying the seal earlier.

And his misfortune that happened this time was a great disgrace to him. A person from the strongest clan fell for stepping on a tree branch? how embarrassing! Ken will keep it a secret for life. So Ken thought.

He thought there would be no one in the forest. But when he woke up in front of him, there was a man who was holding the fainted hand of a man under a big tree.

Ken knows who that man is.

Vice versa. Though unfamiliar, the man is smart enough to guess who Ken is.

Ken stood up, patting his black shirt soiled by the ground. She smiled at the man in front of her. It was now a full moon, so bright that the two men were able to see each other despite being in the middle of the forest.

"Heh, erasing that person's memory is disrespectful lo, son." Sapa Ken's. He approached. This man in front of him looked a little scared but could still control him.

"Son? I don't remember having a father your old age."

Ken laughs. Then in an instant turned his casual expression into a sinister grin, staring intently at this interlocutor. Ken's hand stuck out, strangling him directly, pushing him to the point of hitting a large tree behind him. Because of the harsh impact on the tree, the man to the point of drawing blood from his mouth. But he was undaunted, still daring to look at Ken's red eyes.

"I've lost it if erasing that person's memory is disrespectful, ugly mermaid!" Ken's fingernails slowly entered the man's neck.

This time the man knew that Ken was really angry, trying to ask for mercy and let go.

"Ohok..."

Ken let go of his hand when he saw the man's face turn white, pale.

"I know that a lowly clan like you gets magic from taking people's memories. I don't really care what courtesy it is, nor do I care about the other lowly creatures you prey on, but if you dare to do it to Alicia again..." Ken pulled the man's chin, his sharp eyes savagely warned.

"Killing a fish like you is like breathing to me."

The man nodded, he would not repeat it, his hands clenched for mercy.

Ken took his grip off. Turn around, he must continue on.

When did the man Ken called 'mermaid' erase Alicia's memory? The day before Ken met Alicia in a dream. Yeah, not without reason Alicia forgot what happened that night. Mermaid or what Alicia calls Areka is a demon that makes Alicia forget the strong reason the girl went to the rose garden.

Areka can't erase Alicia's entire memory of Ken, because Ken's magic makes her head hurt. Because of that Areka only erased some and a little of Alicia's feelings for Ken. Until the girl forgets that she misses Ken until she comes back to the rose garden to see him.

Areka stared at the hateful creature with a black aura gripping in front of her this. Areka held tightly onto the fainted man's hand, actually her goal was only to erase the man's poignant memory. Isn't what he's doing a symbiotic relationship? Areka gets mana magic so she can maintain her human form, while the man does not need to go to therapy to a psychologist anymore.

"I'm sorry, but it's really urgent."

Areka takes more than just the bad memories of the man, Areka takes the memories of love and love. It was the most precious memory capable of producing great magic mana.

The hands of the Areka stretched forward. Somehow the way arrived to appear a very large water ball. Areka controlled the water ball, then he used it to catch Ken who walked normally using his two legs.

Looking at Ken's spirit, Areka knew that the demon clan creature was running out of energy and where the magic was. True, even Ken was not aware if there was a danger approaching and he managed to catch it. Now Ken's body is trapped inside that water ball.

Areka's breath was piqued. Long time no use of force made him exhausted.

The water ball was not an ordinary water ball, the mermaid clan had full authority over the water. They can change the water according to the shape and type they want. Areka put poison in that water.

As he approached, Ken had trouble breathing, trying to kick and hit. Free, water is elastic. It was actually made of 100% water without any wrapping so it was impossible to break.

Ken threw a murderous gaze at Areka, regretting being kind to this fishy fish.

"Hows it? Are you having trouble breathing? Does your heart feel pounding and painful?" Areka touches her water ball, she is happy to see Ken tormented.

Then Areka made some more water, this time in a spiky shape, instantly freezing it into sharp ice, about the size of an adult male arm.

Areka mercilessly thrust the ice spear into her water ball, piercing through Ken's stomach. The male from the demon clan shouted silently, the water instantly turning red both from the wound on his stomach and the blood spewing from his mouth. Ken coughed and it made him swallow more poison.

Not satisfied with just using one, Areka made another ice spear.

2

...

8

After Ken is really weak, Areka breaks his water ball. Ken's body was forced to stand by 8 ice spears. The ice was covered in blood. Each drop of the melts is a thick red.

"Ohok..."

Now the position is reversed. Areka who controlled the arena, he smiled with satisfaction to see Ken's hollow body where.

But Areka was really amazed by the persistence of this strongest clan, even with his stomach, chest, neck, to thighs and arms pierced with spears he was still able to maintain his consciousness.

"Hey, tell me how to kill you? I'll help you not get sick anymore." Areka pulled Ken's chin. Doing what Ken did.

Ken's breath was piqued.

"Sweets." He spat on Areka's face with a spit mixed with blood.

"Haa... Don't.. dream..haa.." with a stinged breath Ken replied.

He would definitely be killed again by his ancestors in the afterlife if he died because of this mermaid clan in front of him.

Areka laughed, rubbed her face, her patience ran out. With the rest of the remaining magic mana, Areka made one ice spear with a size twice as large. He raised it high above Ken's head.

"You are mad as any living creature, even a drop of a god will die if his head is crushed."

*PREAK... CRAAKS... CRAZZZ

Done it.

They fell on the ground. Looking at the already shattered Head right in front of his eyes this bit made him hesitate.

Is it really that easy to kill a demon clan? Despite having never met in person, Areka often heard about how powerful and terrifying this clan was from both of her parents. Until there is a saying from his predecessor 'If you meet a demon clan it is better to kill yourself. Run for free too.'

Is that too big?

Areka looked again at the pool of blood in front of her. To his astonishment, there was no way this legendary clan was weak. If weak he could not possibly get out of the seal which he said was blessed by the gods.

Areka clasped both of her hands, doing a final salute to the most feared clan. It was an honor for him to be the one who was able to kill this destructive creature.

Areka turned to her friend who was still unconscious, walking slowly leaving Ken's corpse.

"I'm sorry I took your memory, but it's not free, thank you very much." Areka held the person who had helped her. They had to return home immediately, Areka owed this man a lot.

*Cracks

As Areka was still walking ten steps she heard a voice. The 20-year-old man looked over. He dropped the friend in his car. His eyes glared in disbelief watching what was happening.

Ken's body regenerated very quickly until now he was able to stand up again. Areka thought Ken would attack and kill him immediately, but the man instead walked away while holding his stomach and chest that was still hollow.

Areka clenched her hands, forming an ice spear once again. He'll bet! He would do it again, the world could be destroyed if the demon clan rose up! Areka was preparing to throw her spear.

"ALICIA COULD DIE!" Ken yelling. After which his body collapsed to the ground, fresh blood flowed from his stomach and mouth which coughed.

The hands of Areka stopped.

"Haah.... ALICIA IS IN DANGER! Let me save her. please..." Ken's voice swallowed, choked. But Areka could hear it clearly. The hearing of the mermaid clan was incredible as they lived for hundreds of years inside the sea.

Areka approached, squatting in front of the severely injured Ken. This is a golden opportunity to kill him. But what Ken said was really troubling him.

"How do I know if you're not lying?" ask Areka.

Ken's breath was piqued.

"You... I can read my mind."

Ken smiled, it turned out that this demon clan knew all about the strength of its clan.

Areka put both her hands on Ken's head. Ken didn't lie, having been in a relationship with Alicia Ken so knowing if danger was to Alicia, this demon clan was really worried about the girl right now.

Areka sighed. Ken looked at her with my eyes, it was sincere eyes because he wanted to save someone precious.

And incidentally, someone valuable to Ken is a good friend of Areka's.

"Well, hurry up before I change my mind. But if we meet again I'll try to kill you, whatever it is I'll keep trying." Areka turned her eyes.

Ken smiled, nodding.

"Of course."

Areka was indeed cunning, but this time he decided to use a little of his conscience.

"Yeah, it's not cool to kill a dying opponent in the first place."

While Ken, with a little of his remaining strength strengthened by his determination to protect Alicia, the man forced his body to move. No longer to charge mana magic in the volcano, he would directly go to where his girl was.

The entire wound on Ken's body regenerated slowly. At least he shouldn't look terrible not when he meets Alicia? Could it be that the girl did not want to meet him out of fear.

Ken's chest was pounding, He could feel Alicia being frightened, what exactly happened to the girl?!
