The Another Soul
Ch. 64 [Deal]

After hearing the words from Sergio's mouth. The five gods were silent.

Sergio was still grimacing in pain as his head throbbed in pain.

He is confused too. Why did he look at the memory of someone who was carrying out a massacre.

What he saw was very scary.

"We go inside first" Rakka asked.

The five gods, along with Rakka, Fahrez, and Sergio, entered the house. Sergio is helped by Rakka who breaks him into the house.

Sergio sat on the living room single sofa. He let out a heavy sigh, then Sergio closed his eyes.

But instead of getting the calm. What he got was a new picture of the massacre.

Sergio saw dozens of monsters with various shapes and colors lying on the ground that looked wet with the blood of the monsters.

Sergio sees it all like he's there. Like Sergio saw the massacre using his own eyes.

And he saw a black haired woman staring blankly at the corpses of the monsters.

'Who?'

Sergio focused his gaze. But it looks like someone who seems to be the eyes of the two of them is back facing the front who then looks at a man with blonde hair and has emerald green eyes.

Sergio's surprised. He was surprised that the man had a big wound on his stomach. Blood just seeped through the clothes the man was wearing.

'This is impossible' Sergio thought in disbelief.

It was seen that this person who was his point of view raised his right hand and pointed it at the blond man.

'No. Don't' Inner Sergio.

From the man's right hand, a black-purple magic ball appeared. It looks dark and horrible.

'No! Arthur!'

Bzztt...

"-Gio, Sergio!"

Sergio jerks. He took the air greedily. Cold sweat poured from his face which then dripped onto the floor.

"You okay?" Ask the God Agni.

After feeling quite calm Sergio exhales slowly. After that he looked at the five gods sharply.

"So can you explain your purpose here?"

"Before that" said Lord Hermes. "Don't you know us before?"

Sergio fell silent. "Then introduce yourself."

The god Hermes closed the book he had previously read. "I'm Hermes. God of messengers."

Briefest. That is the introduction that the god Hermes spoke.

"I am next" said Lord Ares. "Ares, the god of war who came from ancient Greece. Hello to Sergio."

Sergio nodded. His eyes then looked at Goddess Bishamon.

"I'm Bishamon. Bishamonten. Goddess of war from Japan. Hello to Sergio-sama."

"Yes?"

Sergio's confused. He knows a little about Japanese honorifics. She's confused. Why would a Goddess call him with the suffix 'same' in his name?

"Next me. I'm Nyra. The Goddess of nature. Greetings to know Sergio" said Dewi Nyra softly.

"Ohh.... Do you know an Ium named Wendy?"

"Eh? You know Wendy?"

Sergio smiled thinly. "He healed me today."

"Haha... Glad to hear it."

Sergio gives a thin senyuma to Dewi Nyra. He looked at Anig who also gave a friendly smile to him.

"I'm Agni. The God of fire, sorry for lying to you."

"I already know."

God Agni frowned. "What?"

"I know that you've been a god ever since I entered the house."

The five gods were shocked. So Sergio knows? A human knows that they are a God and a Goddess?

"Hey bro, how do you know that we are Gods and Goddesses?" Ask the God of Ares.

Sergio seemed to think for a while, "Hmmm.... I use my natural instinct. Oh, you're not the first time I've guessed this."

"Who's first?" Ask the God Hermes.

"Sadia."

"Dewi Sanita you mean?" Ask the God Agni.

Sergio nodded. "Yes. We even became close friends. Not to mention the food made by Fifi is very good. Maybe I'll come see him?"

The five gods were a little.

"Sergio is not normal" said Fahrez bluntly.

Rakka quickly nudged Fahrez on the shoulder.

"So what about your goals?"

The five Gods glanced at each other. Ask someone to talk for the first time.

"So this is Sergio" said Lord Hermes.

Inwardly, the four Gods cheered happily as the God spoke up.

"We're here to make a deal with you."

"Ohh... What deal?" Sergio asked with a slanted smile on his face. He was a little interested because these five Gods were willing to come make a deal with him.

"Sergio Vandellein. Our purpose of coming this day is to...

.... Protect you."

Sergio's slanted smile was lost when he heard of the fifth goal of these Gods.

"What?"

"The five of us will protect you from now on."

"Wait first. I still don't understand. Why would a God and a Goddess protect a human who has no mana flow in his body?"

"Sergio-"

The god Agni looked at Sergio seriously. "No, he's not a tap-"

"Ohh... I know" cut Sergio up quickly. Sergio chuckles little "Definitely isn't he?"

"Can you hear our explanation first?" Speak Lord Agni seriously.

Sergio snorted, "Alright. Let's listen."

"We're protecting you because there's a group that wants your soul."

"Realat. Ilka's soul is more precise" ralat Sergio with a circus.

"Hey son. Can you just calm down and listen to us first?" the Lord Hermes said with annoyance.

"Ohh sorry, Mr. Hermes. Here I am very upset because not only three people are my guards. Now it's increased to five. Three of them have already troubled me, let alone five?"

"So you think we're troublesome, don't you?" Ask Goddess Bishamon.

Sergio agreed. "Yes. It's so troublesome."

The five gods were slightly humiliated.

Come onl. Their status was a God and a Goddess. A figure that is exalted by all mankind in the world of Egolas and on Earth.

Everyone always wants the protection of the Gods. Always want to get blessings from the God and the Goddess.

But this.

There was a man who treated the protection of the Gods so easily. Sergio rejected it too without thinking hard at all.

Truly typical of naive humans, thought the five Gods.

"If this is not an order from the god Zeus. I must have thrown you from the seventh heaven" said the annoyed God Hermes.

Sergio smiled sweetly, "Ohh... Thank you for that fun invitation. God Hermes."

The god Hermes snorted in annoyance.

God Agni sighed tiredly. "Please listen to me?"

"All right, all right, talk Agni. I'm listening."

Fahrez and Rakka's breaths were choked. The two of them were shocked when they heard that Sergio had not called out to Lord Agni at will or considered her as an ordinary friend.

But instead of being angry or upset, Lord Agni gave a small chuckle.

'I feel nostalgic' he thought.

"The five of us will protect you from the dangers that will come in the future."

"Example?"

Lord Agni seemed to be thinking, "For example.... When you have an enemy that comes to you with the aim of taking your soul. We'll protect you."

"Until death?"

The eyes of the five gods sharpened.

God Agni smiled widely. A smile full of confidence. "We're protecting you to the point of blood loss. Or rather until we die."

Sergio looked seriously at these five Gods.

'Their sight.... No kidding' thought Sergio.

"If my enemy is a God or a Goddess?"

"That's what we're for here, boy" chirped Goddess Bishamon.

"Huh?"

"Look at Sergio" said Lord Hermes.

"Your enemies are not just human beings. But also....

.... The gods are your enemies."
