Chapter 58: Mission
Two years later, Heart 12/08.
"Hey Nous! How's it going? Looks like your mission has always been smooth huh!?" Said a man with a small horn on his forehead cynically.
"Ah, Liam, good news. And well, not like that" I said casually.
"Ha huh! Isn't the vice commander very humble!?" Reply to the others.
"No, not so"
Although it sounds familiar, the fact is that I myself know that their intent is to insinuate me. Anyway, I seized their chance as deputy commander right? I am much younger than them.
That's right, right now I'm Nous, one of the five people in Deux's group that serves Heart. And after being there for two years, instead of getting blessed with immortality, I managed to become the deputy commander just below Deux himself, funny right!?
And well, if you remember back, then the age of my original body just turned 13 years old right? Then where is my real body?
Just before the day I signed up to join Deux, I made a little deal with Lance, I asked him to keep my real body there. And so far, no one has suspected me with this fake body anyway. But that doesn't rule out the possibility of me being found out. And, the longer I stay here, the greater the risk of getting caught.
Although heavy, but my wait is not in vain.
...□□□...
"Did you call me, Deux?" Much
"sound. Come in" he said coldly.
"That's right. You know our reputation is on the rise, right?" Proudly asked.
I just nodded confirming his statement.
'That's right, don't tell me you still want to raise it again brutally?' I say in my heart of course.
"We will do a great mission this time" he said confidently
"What's that?"
"It's not that hard, we've done it over and over again"
"Have you heard this? A guild that managed to find a mythical beast egg?"
"So? We're gonna steal it?" My investigation.
He nodded, "that's right. We'll steal the egg, and hand it over to the emperor's own majesty." He said with pride.
"And, since it's the emperor himself, so you want us to attract the attention of the emperor, is that it?" My toot.
"Ha huh! You're smart, 'cause I asked you to be my deputy!"
"What's the details?"
...□□□...
And, that's what we're doing right now.
"Hey commander, are they really through here?"
"That's right!"
"Be quiet, you guys" Deux replied coldly.
Sure enough, as he expected, a group of chariots with soldiers on the right and left sides drove slowly in a fairly steep terrain.
Slow enough for them to be aware of our presence.
"Nous, I'm going forward!" Deux was followed by four other members.
I just silently agreed to his orders.
The fight broke out, while I was just going to watch the fight from above, that is how it is. Well, arguably this was a strategy that greatly harmed Nous, after all, they were humans and Nous was not given a single chance to get their prey. But, it would be very profitable for me, as Raka of course.
I curled my lips as a familiar aura I felt. Just before that one-sided fight took place, I told senior Ian and Judith my plans. Anyway, I can't ask Lance for help right now, it'll drag him into trouble.
"Okay, the plan starts"
Boom!
An explosion appeared suddenly, separating the human troops and my comrades.
A fierce fight broke out for a moment, the state of chaos. Narrowed field of vision, chaotic hearing, damaged smell, under the same circumstances everything will become even more chaotic.
And, at that moment ...
Jem!
A sword quickly pierced through my chest. A mouthful of red blood flowed from the corner of my mouth. A familiar pain to me made me aware of one other thing.
"Burn" whispered a voice.
A red flame immediately enveloped my body, burning it and turning it into ashes.
...□□□...
"Snous!" A big voice rattled me from sleep.
I opened my eyes and took a long breath, for a moment. For the umpteenth time, that slender and small hand again greeted me from sleep.
"You're sober" whispered someone near me.
I smiled wryly, "yes .. but still a little dizzy ha ha" I said.
"I don't know what to say about you. You can usually think of all the possibilities beyond your reasoning, and who would have thought if it really happened" senior Ian said as he rubbed his forehead dizzy.
I could only smile in response to her words. 'You little brat, how could your experience of a few years compare to me being dead alive for decades!' I said I was proud of myself.
The explosion and the sound of iron friction made me aware of the fight that was still going on. I let my eyes out, out from behind the tree I was hiding in.
Both sides are still fighting.
'I have to admit, they are really strong. Even when they lost a member of their staff, they were able to remain calm. No, should I say because Nous is actually only used by his brain?'
"Well, whatever it is, humans have to learn a little to be calm in this kind of thing" I said. Unbeknownst to me, my soft words invited an unexpected look in the eye.
"Alright, thank you for carrying my body" I said as I got up from my seat.
"What do you want to do?" Ask senior Ian.
"I just need to help the humans to attack Deux's group. I think you can guess" I said casually.
"Well, may your mission succeed, junior!" Senior Judith said as she threw a cloak at me.
I grabbed it, immediately put it on, "Alright, this is my grill" I said as I stepped up.
A sharp gush of aura immediately rose from my back, drawing their eyes. Surprised figures coloring their faces.
I just smiled simple.
"Who are you!" Ask one of the strongest men there is. And, if remembered, he was the one who stabbed me, right?
"Well, thank you for following my plan,"
I just smiled lightly, "calm down, I'm on the human side" I said.
Deux's cold gaze immediately attacked me. I know, right now they should be targeting me. After all, eliminating other humans was not something that was difficult for them. The proof, half of the knights even managed to get killed.
The four people darted forward, trying to attack me simultaneously.
"Creator of death" I whispered.
In an instant, the sharp aura behind my back changed, becoming long strands of thread that danced in dance toyed with by the wind.
"Retreat!" Command Deux.
But too late for him, I calmly pulled a thread before me.
Crash it!
Red blood gushed out in all directions. The four demons quickly lost their heads.
"You're alone at the moment, Mr. Deux" I said calmly.
"Do you think you can beat me just because you killed my partner?" Ask.
"No. I mean, how is that possible? You have it, Blessing Of Immortality. It'll work when you're dying, right?"
"I can't kill you while the blessing of immortality is still in your body, so make sure you enjoy your remaining time. You won't kill me outright, but I'll make sure you enjoy the end of your life"
Without aba, he quickly darted towards me.
At this moment, his body began to transform.
Dash!
In a split second, his hand hit the ground, making a hole 10 meters in diameter.
I jumped, dodging the attack.
His body swells, with increasing height, currently reaching 14 meters I guess.
Even so, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.
Zrr.
Our fight was inevitable, the required terrain was getting bigger. There was no other choice, a barrier I immediately formed right to protect the caravan of traders.
He completed his transformation.
His body swelled up, with both hands big next to each other. His muscle muscles are getting bigger. With a few tentacles appearing to squirm. His brown skin had now changed drastically, becoming a purple-colored skin with a pink tinge. The only thing that doesn't change are the horns.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of his steps shook the forest.
I can't avoid it, physical attacks certainly won't have a big effect. Only destructive power is really effective on him at this time.
Just as I was thinking about it, the big hand came immediately, trying to hit me like a mosquito.
I put my foot back, right after, I turned around and darted quickly towards his foot.
I turned my legs down, immediately grabbed the tree branch and threw my body into the air, surpassing its current height.
Just as his eyes were looking at me, his hands were trying to grab me. But before that, I sped up my fall, clenched my hand and hit her face hard.
Dunking it in the dust.
