The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 62

Into a complicated situation. Where, all the people he was carrying had been killed by the monsters to the point of being unresponsive. No one is alive, except for him at this moment.

I saw the great ape monster that was in front of me. I looked at it with great fear, and I began to think in my mind, am I the young master of the Wind family, Wind Van Ceral going to die in this place? By this monster?

I am powerless, just sitting quietly in my place with fear, wanting it in my heart, even my soul and body. My whole body has been shaking all this time, and it makes my legs numb. It's hard for me to stand up, in this situation, am I only able to give up?

HIKK! *At that time, I was getting scared. When he saw the great ape eating a human corpse. The sound of bones that are crumpled or crushed because they are chewed can be heard clearly. The smell, of blood and offal I can smell.

Again and again, hard and hard I thought and kept thinking nonstop. The only thing I think about right now is running... Run on!

Slowly I wake up. I stood with both my legs, though both my legs were shaking, but I forced them to stay strong. In order, it can support my body to stand.

*I ran... With all my might, I ran away without looking back. Whatever happens in the back, I have to ignore it, and I just need to focus on my goals. Running to save themselves.

No less when I ran away, even without me looking back though, I knew that some monsters were chasing me right behind.

I focused my mana on one hand, and I began to form a fireball. The moment it formed, I fired it at them, so that, they could stop chasing me.

“Go, go, don't chase me!” *Fireball is fired.

It was fired right at the monsters that were chasing him.

However, it was not enough to stop them, the lightning ape. The lightning ape was quite clever, although the attack was quite powerful, yet it would not kill him even if they were hit directly. The bad part is, maybe they will get hurt, even if it is not fatal.

However, these lightning apes are smart enough, so they can think about overcoming the problem. Rather than accept the attack, they chose to avoid it by jumping and climbing trees. With their agility, it was not a difficult thing to do. Not just avoiding attacks, even one of them can launch a counterattack when he gets a foothold in a tree branch.

It was no surprise that they were able to strike back using electric bullets. However, what makes someone unable to show it is, that the accuracy of the firing is perfect, so that it can hit Ceral right on his right foot.

It made him fall, and suffer injuries as well as the effects of [paralysis] on his right leg.

“Argh... *Laughter from the lightning apes can be heard. Ceral saw, that they, the lightning ape, were walking slowly toward him with a terrible smile and laughter for him. The smile, as well as the laughter of the lightning apes was a mockery for Ceral. “HIKK! Don'tdon't... Don't come any closer! [Fire Ball]”

In desperation, Ceral attacked the origin using his magic. Hope, that there will be a hope for him to escape. Or push them back. However, the attacks he launched, did not even hit them in the slightest. The accuracy is bad, even it can be laughed at.

More, and more frightened. I have lost my hope of survival. Something I didn't expect, that I would die in this place, in the Hidden World.

There was no hope for him, no hope for me to survive. And I, having resigned myself to my life, that I would die by these monsters.

“Haha, I shouldn't have come here... Father has warned me how horrors of this Hidden World.” Instantly, as I got closer and closer to death. I, beginning to cry, regretted my decision to insist on coming. However, without careful calculation, I carelessly went inside. This carelessness came, because I was too haughty, so I forgot... No, to be exact I did not listen to their advice at all, the advice of experienced people.

Seeing his prey just silent and looks resigned. The lightning ape instantly attacked him, without thinking any longer. Each of them, with keen instincts, realized that their prey had been helpless. So, it will be easier for them.

‘I don't want to see it..’ In fear of his death, Ceral closed his eyes, hoping that the pain of this death would not hurt. ‘.... I'm going to die..’

However, after waiting for a while. Ceral felt nothing, let alone pain. He wondered if he had died. If it was true, Ceral did not suspect that death was anything but painful.

Of course it's just a silly fantasy, where maybe it doesn't hurt. Only, he did not feel any pain, because he was not attacked by lightning monkeys at all. Rather, it was the lightning ape that was attacked by someone, and the sound of screams from pain, was clearly heard by Ceral.

From the sound of that scream, Ceral dared himself to open his eyes. He was so curious, what happened to the monsters that they screamed like children. And as he opened his eyes, Ceral, he was very surprised to see the sight before his eyes. Which, he saw a figure in dark clothes slaughtering all the lightning apes.

‘A what's... Happened it? He-she... Defeating those monsters?’ I couldn't help my surprise. How not, these monsters were monsters that had eliminated all of his subordinates. In fact, they were simply unable to fight back at that moment. But now it's different. It was inversely proportional to what I was experiencing.

The figure in front of him, casually killed the lightning Ape that was in his grip, by breaking the neck. Seeing how the figure could kill the Lightning Monkey so easily, clearly, the figure was no ordinary person.

My thoughts were running when I saw some of them. He, is a very strong figure, and it would probably be great if I seek protection for him for now. Remembering, all my subordinates have been completely abandoned.

“E, yes...

The figure looked towards him. Looking at me, who still looks shocked by the previous events.

“A I don't know who you are, but, thank you for saving me-

“Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to save you.”

Ceral was silent for a moment when he heard it, with a heavy tone of voice. It can be heard, it is not the original sound, just made up, so that one does not know his identity.

Want how someone can confirm his identity, whereas, he has worn a face mask to hide his face. And, that dark black outfit, who else had it, other than her. I think, even without suppressing his voice, one would not know who his true identity was.

But Xi did that anyway. Not without reason, sometimes, among ordinary people there is someone who has a strong memory. He does not want, someone can reveal his identity, just because he remembers his voice.

Ceral understood, then he went back to talking “Yes, I understand. But... Can you protect me? I see you are a strong person, and I need someone strong to protect me in this place. This is my first time in this place, and I don't know anything about this place.” Ceral had spoken carefully in order not to offend the figure. In his head, a warning was already planted. That is, if Ceral offends him, he will die.

Without Answers.

Apparently, the reason was still not enough to get his protection. Therefore, Ceral added. “Ten-of course it's not free, I'll pay you 100... No, 1000 gold coins... Eh?!”

Xi left him, he showed his indifference. In the eyes of others, 1000 gold coins was a large sum. However, in his eyes, 1000 gold coins was nothing. Just like that snack for an SD kid for her. Even before, he had spent a lot more money than that.

“Tu-wait! Where are you going?” Ceral wondered, yet there was no answer whatsoever from Xi who left him.
