Roped Fate
Ch.52: Reality

The cold night of the day was shrouded in purple light, there were sounds of thumping from various directions. Riko could only be silent, he was so frightened by the chaos that occurred. However, the truth that scares him the most is that he can't find his parents anymore.

“Rion, I'm scared ..” whispered Riko scared.

“Don't worry, they'll be back soon .. rest assured, everyone here is not a weakling, because this is their job,” said Rion.

“Umn.”

Shortly after, there were gunshots and a group of people who came to the place, Riko was getting curious to hear the sound of red feet coming closer.

Rion just fell silent behind the bushes while trying to close the view of Riko so that he did not panic more if he saw the scenery in front of him at this time.

Rion stared at the group of people who were trying to help and tried to overcome the chaos that was going on. While watching the group, he frowned a little when he found someone he knew was struggling there.

‘Uncle Sen? so it turns out that he is in a different group than aunt Rima yes, deservedly,’ bhatin Rion.

Some people from group 2 began to join other groups, seen Rima and Diana began to move to the place of the aid group.

So, in the camp there are 2 groups that participate and cooperate, they come from each of the large organizations there.

Slowly in the fog and the bright light, a kind of strange, terrifying creature appeared that attacked them from every angle.

Purple-colored flames burned every object that existed, maybe it was hotter than ordinary flames so that it spread faster and scorched some of the surrounding land.

‘Fire the devil huh? great .... but also terrible, can they overcome that big creature?’ ask Rion in heart.

Several attacks had successfully landed on the demon. However, it was a pity that their attacks had no effect at all.

Not long after, Rion looked back at Uncle Sen who was pulling his bow very strongly.

‘Woah, a great weapon ... very strong and beautiful, judging by its size ... it must be very difficult to use, if one can pull it and hit the target, it is very difficult to use, I'm sure he's a man who can't be underestimated,’ bhatin Rion who looks amazed.

With a confident and focused look, Uncle Sen looked for the best opportunity and time to release his arrows.

When the arrow came off and slid, there was a quite thunderous echoing sound. Because of being too focused and amazed by the arrow, Rion was not aware that Riko who was trying to force to get rid of his two hands that continued to block his view.

Riko immediately looked at the crowd of people there.

“I heard the voice of the father's bow, I'm sure it was the father .. The typical voice he only had, I want to go there now,” said Riko unsettledly.

“That's a parent's business, you'll just get in the way and disturb them, stay here until they've all finished their work,” whispered Rion while holding Riko back so she doesn't run away.

“But, look at that ... how could that creature be so horrible, he'd kill everyone, why don't we just run off with the others?” riko replied after realizing the existence of the creature.

“Because it is their fate and sad work, why should they run away? if afraid of death they do not have to choose this stupid job,” explained Rion with a cold look.

“What's with the job, why fight for the job?” ask Riko to be confused.

“We little children do not understand anything, I know for sure that they are all heretics, it is only a matter of time, it is possible that these innocent of us will also share the impact of this miserable destiny in the future,” Andi explained with a serious look.

“Why did you say that? do you really want to die?”

“Of course not, but fate has been set ..no one can change it, no matter how hard you try it, it will be the same in the end, we are all suffering, we are all suffering, I've seen it many times and it's all just like that, we're all just fools who keep trying to create their own idealism to justify things,” Rion replied with cold intonation.

“No, everyone has a right .. Also father and mother are good people, they are not fools, they always tell me to be a good child, it is not a stupid thing, it is not a stupid thing,” refutes Riko who appears not to accept.

Riko continued to try to refute Rion's argument, although he did not have many words to explain, but he was quite optimistic that his parents were great people.

“What is it like you've given up?”

“If you think maybe the answer is 'yes', maybe I've given up a long time ago, it's just that I don't want to admit it .. Almost everyone feels it too, but because I'm still alive, so there is no reason to stop, my life is still going, following the flow of human life without feeling anything else, it's just that I still have the common sense to keep following how humans should act,” reply Rion while smiling weakly.

“You're really confusing, I don't understand that.”

“Already, you do not need to think about it now .. Many people I met strayed because of their weak mentality, the darkness consumed their hearts and minds to make them a deviant dark person, he said, therefore ... whatever you see later, remain a respectable and meaningful human being, you are still filled with light ..so are your parents, unlike me ... but no need to worry about me, of course I'm still sane.”

“I don't really understand, but I believe .. it has made me calmer now.”

Being quite busy with their arguments, the two were distracted from the old man's fight with the purple light demon.

The previously darted arrow was indeed quite powerful, but it seemed that it was not enough to weaken it yet. Continuous attacks continue to hit the devil, uncle sen has almost run out of arrows. But the devil is still moving.

Others land their best attacks, but unfortunately human weapons are not powerful enough to take down the creature.

Not even Uncle Sen's strongest demonic arrow could weaken him. Everyone felt an overwhelming fear as their ammunition dwindled, but the demons were still unaffected.

This time a backlash from the demons, with just a single strike had wiped out many people there. Riko just fell silent with a trembling hand when he saw it, he did not know what to do, if leaving was the same as looking to die. He intends to invite his parents and his partner away to stay away.

Whatever it is, there is more to it than that. No matter what else, it was enough for the four of them, at least if they could not save the others, the most important thing was that no one left.

Riko was getting furious, he could not do anything .. nor could he go there because it would be in vain.

“You remain here, have I not said that they are fools who only try to maintain their idealism, if they want to die,” said Rion suddenly.

“What should I do Rion?” ask Riko plain.

“Eh, you keep calling me like that, somehow it feels funny, hahaha .. Your unique attitude is you really deserve to be called light, hahaha, if the situation has become very bad, the only thing we need to do is to run away,” replied Rion seriously.

“Then what about our parents?”

“Just trust them .. I hope everything will be fine, even dead though, we still can not do anything .. You do not only rely on your heart, but also use your brain, you can not do anything, man has been given a mind for it use it as well as possible,” reply Rion flat.

“But I don't want them to leave, I love them very much.”

“I love my father a lot too, but when he leaves what can I do, do I have to die too? of course it would be foolish to think so, even those who are dead would wish that we could live, if you want to die, it's the same you rejected the effort they've fought for you, totally free.”

“Basi! I want everything to stay alive.”

“Huhh .. You know, nothing will happen just by you wanting it, trying is not necessarily successful let alone just hoping.”

“Huaaaa ..” Riko immediately cried.

Rion immediately silenced him so as not to be noisy anymore, he was quite troubled to face the spoiled child. However, he still could not leave the innocent boy.
