The Cursed Bloodline

The Cursed Bloodline
Hell on Earth III


Year after year passed. Since that incident, Mirai began to drown himself by learning the science of medicine


There are many villages he visited. Outside of Tengu activities, he travels around the country, constantly learning like a madman due to his own disappointment.


Mirai also often visited criminals in various prisons or in the dark world that needed treatment. To him the human body of trash was better used as the object of his improved medical abilities.


In fact, his name is increasingly famous among the dark. Mirai even has the nickname as 'Yuki the ice hand' because her cold hand is able to save as well as kill someone.


Because of that experience, Mirai has great kenkou and expertise. As a result of disappointment in yourself and regret cannot help people who really need their skills.


......................


Until one day, Tengu gets the Mission. Delivering a hartakarun in the form of gold bullion to a village in the small country of Hii. The mission was given by a great trader who monopolized the price of gold at that time.


"The mission this time was the request of a wealthy merchant, he asked us to escort the property 'bribery' to one of the leaders of a small country in the north" Xio said


"Because we are given enough important information as payment. I hope you guys finish this mission well! " he insisted while leaving the meeting room.


Mirai, Zou, and Nee were just sitting expressionless, they seemed to have been used to hearing dirty missions like this


"So? We're gonna bring a hunk of food to a greedy rat? I'm getting sick of it! " Zou looks reluctant to take orders, his eyes closing lazily with his hands propping up his chin.


" We do not need to waste time, we better leave immediately" concluded Nee


......................


In front of the entrance to the land of the Hii. There is no meaningful guard. More precisely very loose care. The guards looked very indifferent, they were just standing guard while Drunk.


" Why do we have to do something so trivial? There is no challenge the same


Once" Zou lamented as he pushed the cart full of gold inside the crate.


The two comrades did not touch Zou's words and just walked in silence. Unlike usual, the clothes of the Tengu members only wear a robe with an ordinary hood, like a traveling merchant.


They also entered the village of Hii, without any meaningful examination or people who are suspicious about the purpose of their arrival. The guard only asked for the purpose of arrival as a mere formality. The guards then proceeded to down sake and gamble, even though the sun was still high.


They walked through the village and found something amazing. Unlike other normal villages, the village looked terrible. The villagers were suffering from great hunger, and it was not uncommon to even stretch out his hand asking for food to Tengu who passed by.


Crime seems to be commonplace there, indeed in the village or even in the country of Hii itself there is no military system which means there is no magic or military law that applies. Evidently, lara thugs forcibly snatch food from citizens who look hungry.


Mirai, Zou and Nee were only speechless at the terrifying sight before them.


"As per rumors, the State of Hii is actually a rich country. Many quality mines are produced from here. However, due to the greed of the leader of his country, this village turned into a poor village. The state monopolizes the mines and uses them to accumulate wealth. Especially when the government is taken over by Gozu" said Nee


"Isn't he the mouse we're going to feed? " ask Zou while smiling with a faint smile


" Eh. During his reign, he was a tyrant who sucked the blood of the people" said Nee, his sinister green eyes sweeping the surroundings


"But this has nothing to do with our mission" he added, staring at Mirai. Mirai only kept silent, her face looking flat with no meaningful expression.


Mirai stepped back on her way, passing people sitting limply by the side of the road.


Set them in front of a beautiful castle that contrasts sharply with the scenery of the village they met. The arrival of the Tengu Team was welcomed by the Crowd of the Fathers of the villagers were arguing with the castle guards and Gozu's men.


"At least, Mr. Gozu must pay us for our work in the mines! Even 2 months we have not been paid.


" The economy is unstable, Mr. Gozu does not have enough money to pay you right now! " the guard said starting to twitch


Seeing that lie, Zou could only grieve in annoyance, "Heh! So what do we deliver? River rock? " close Zou.


Mirai, Zou and Nee only noticed the commotion from afar. The conditions of the debate are getting heated, many citizens are asking for their rights to the hard work they do


" That's impossible, we're mining diamonds and other fairly valuable mines. There can't be any results from all of that"


Citizen protest


"We don't know that, get out of here, or we'll beat you all up! "


Guards began to pull out wooden sticks, which made residents afraid of threats. One of the guards turned towards Mirai, knowing that they were a messenger and letting them in.


"Please pass by here, Mr. Gozu is waiting for you" the guard concluded


They entered the beautiful castle. The entire castle is full of luxuries as well as shady green gardens, a complete contrast to the barren and dry conditions surrounding the village.


They entered the magnificent space within the castle. A sight that really sucks Team Tengu saw with their eyes


"Welcome! Are you the one my friends sent? " gozu said as she downed her red wine. They were silent, without retaliating to Gozu's words.


" As usual, the Military man looks haughty because he has magic power! " strictly Gozu was annoyed to see the behavior of Mirai et al. Gozu accidentally sees Mirai, the beautiful-eyed girl looks dazzling and she starts to get interested in playing around with Mirai. A cunning sebyum was engraved on his face. He calls Mirai to approach him, impolite.


"Hey you're in the middle, beautiful girl come towards me! Instead of you working with that thug, you better be with me, I'll give you infinite luxury. You just need to warm my bed, how? " said the pig with a disgusting grin


Nee and Zou growled they almost shut Gozu's mouth with their magic. Mirai nodded her hand, as a symbol of 'let me slaughter this pig'


Mirai approached Gozu, with a forced smile she greeted him.


"It is an honor for me" said the sweet Mirai as she extended her hand to Gozu.


Gozu proudly extended her hand. For him all women are the same, be it from the Military or not they just like money. Gozu glanced at Mirai a condescending look.


When Mirai's hand touched Gozu's hand, the sweet smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a sinister cold gaze. Mirai also tightened her grip


"But How is this? I prefer a man without money but handsome than a pig like you" Mirai replied as he slammed Gozu's hand hard


"What did you say? " said Gozu dumbfounded


Mirau also left Gozu who still did not believe what he heard. Gozu seems to want to avenge Mirai but is stopped by one of the girls.


"Master! Don't you serve those lowly people, you better continue your party"


Gozu simply agreed to it and continued the party regardless of Tengu's team. He knows he's at risk of dealing with the military.


Mirai walked towards Nee and Zou "Our mission is over, you can do your fun Zou! " mirai said as she walked past Zou.


"of course! " said Zou with a smile. Zou activates gyoku in the light, Zou magic begins to work, from his gyoku comes out a needle that is formed from his magic power. Zou threw the needle into the air. Thin and small needles, but no one realized what he was doing. After finishing his fun, he left the castle with Nee and Mirai in peace.


......................


Moments after they left the castle, Gozu began to feel pain that was unusually strong. Striking he held his chest that began to clench


ARGHYAHHHH......


"Why my chest hurts so much! "


People were shocked by the cry of gozu just looking at the fat man in wonder. Without them noticing, Gozu's body turned purple and emitted a pitch-black vapor. His fat body began to evaporate and slowly dried up, leaving his body dry like a zombie.


Seeing the incident people began to panic, but a light exploded right on the ceiling of the castle


Cringgggh.......


The magic needle that Zou threw exploded turned into a small-sized needle and started piercing the bodies of everyone at the party. Zou killed with the poison that was inside that needle in just seconds


......................


Far from the castle. Mirai was standing in front of the body of a child, the body of the child was already very dying. So weak and thin, he could no longer belong. Only short breaths remained.


Mirai showed a sad look, but even her tears could not come out because she saw this injustice.


At least this is all I can do for you......


Be rested........


Be reborn...... If the world is better.......


Slowly Mirai began to stretch out her hand, she began to stroke the boy's pale face. A blue light appeared on his index finger. Mirai touched the boy's forehead with her magic-plated index finger. Calmly and even painlessly, Mirai helps the child to let go of his suffering. The boy breathed his last softly.


Zou who noticed Mirai only put on a look of surprise, he whispered to Nee.


"Look how cold his attitude is! He killed the boy with his own hands! "


"For me, it looks like the last warmth that Yuki gave to the girl" said Nee, who captured the true meaning of what Mirai did to the boy. Semenyara Zou only raised an eyebrow of confusion with Nee's reply. They left the village after taking revenge on the villagers in silence


The rice of the head looks held by the girl. That rice was the food Mirai gave her, as a provision to leave this cruel world behind.


Sometimes, I give my cold hand to relieve the pain of a lonely child due to the cruelty of this world.
