The Monsters!
4. No Night

"There's Goa!" Shouted the man beside Diego

Diego turned his head, the two immediately ran towards Goa, hoping that the place could be used as protection from the monsters that could attack them.

Tap tap tap

Both of them immediately ran into Goa, which in it was seen bright by the flow of hot water that was bright yellow.

While walking carefully the two entered, while looking around vigilantly. Fear if there are other creatures in the cave as well.

"Thank God we're safe" he said, wiping his chest in relief

Diego nodded as he stared at his surroundings filled with curiosity. Especially with yellow water that gives off bright light.

"By the way, what's your name?" Ask the guy to Diego

"Diego" he answered briefly

"My name is Chen! I wish we could get along after this." While sticking out his hand

Diego replied to the post, he nodded with a faint smile. This is better than no one at all.

"Hey aren't you too skinny?" ask Chen as he walked deeper inside

"Hm, of course because I'm poor" Diego replied without feeling offended

"Hehe, sorry about that. I don't think you're alone, I'm the same. I spend more time working as a writer, but unfortunately the results are very bad." Curiousness

"I think those of us who get black light are bad people." Obviously Diego

"You're right, I'm sure the others are not much different from us."

The two stopped in a room that looked quite spacious. Especially with a bright enough area, but it is clear that both are currently starving.

"Aren't you hungry? Ask Chen

"A little bit, anyway I'm used to not eating." Reply Diego

"Huh ... Even if we survive the monsters outside, it seems that we will still die of hunger" Chen said with a resigned look

Diego just kept quiet did not answer, he felt there was a point as well. Why would he run from the monsters if the edges would still die from the famine that struck.

"Would we hunt?" Bargain Diego

Chen who heard it instantly looked at Diego in disbelief, he laughed out loud hearing it.

"You kidding? We're in the hunt!" Obviously Chen

"But at least we've tried, rather than dying of hunger. Wouldn't it be better to die of resistance?" Obviously Diego is serious

"Let's think about it, it's better that we take a break now." Follow Chen, who nods Diego's head

***

In the middle of the break Diego woke up when he heard something noisy, and when he saw it was Chen who seemed to be making something.

"You wake up, watch me make something!" Said Chen

He showed a spear he made from twigs and stones, which are sharp enough to be tied using the root of the cave.

"Is this capable of killing monsters?" Ask Diego doubtfully

"It's better than we die without being able to fight" Chen explained

Chen gave one spear to Diego, and another to him. Chen also explained that the water in front of them was very hot.

Even stones can be crushed by it, and that is what Chen uses to sharpen the stone used to make the spear.

"Hm, can we lure the monster into this hot water?" Think Diego

"It could just be that it's too hard for us to do. I doubt we'll survive before we can make him die." Chen was doubtful

While the two walked out of the cave, and were silent for a moment at the mouth of the cave staring at the sky, Chen seemed to feel strange from earlier.

"What's wrong?" Diego asked confusedly

"Hm? How do you know that?"

"See my watch! The numbers already show at nine o'clock at night, which should be dark."

Diego seems to agree with Chen's opinion, there's a point to it. Considering the two had rested for hours, but the day still remained the same as before.

"Night is just a dream here" Chen explained

Meanwhile from a distance a roar was heard, even until the sound of a bang was also heard. Which sounds like a battle.

"Let's see!"

Diego nodded and immediately ran following the direction of the voice.

the Training Arena

CRANGS! CRANGS! CRANGS!

Jack darted several times, he lashed a powerful attack at the man before him who was a coach.

"As expected, the hero's adaptability cannot be underestimated!" Praise Lean

"Well, what we got was nothing more than the Goddess' blessing, haha!" Reply Jack while swinging the axe in his hand

"It's true, especially your blonde friend..."

Lean was silent for a moment to see Willy training alone. In front of him was a huge hole due to the devastating attack he gave.

"I don't understand how he's that strong? Did we come together at the same time?" Jack asked, staring

"I guess not just power. From the very beginning when I saw Mr. Willy, I could tell he was a smart man. From the very beginning he was able to bring out his power?"

The Flashback

"Hm so, the point is that heroes can issue magic power, right?" Willy asked after hearing Lean's explanation

"Yes, and not just a hero. The knights can too, they are the ones who have status under the Heroes."

'They?'

"Hooh, isn't that cool! Just like in a video game!" Jack is excited

Willy was silent for a moment, his eyes staring intensely at his palm at this moment while thinking of something.

"By the way, how do you use power?" Willy asked curiously

"On that, it's easy enough for a hero classmate. Just imagine, what is your dominant power? Yes, although it is also not easy because it is necessary"

*Trash!

A bright light shot out instantly, and right in Willy's hand a spear appeared. Lean who saw it was quite surprised by it.

"W-what!? How can you bring out your power so easily?"

"Enough to imagine?" Willy tilted his head

"I know I said that. However, it remains that for a new hero it seems like it will be a little difficult?" Obviously Lean made Willy's eyebrows rise

"Wow!! How was!" Jack did the same

But unlike Willy, the same thing did not happen other than the silent atmosphere between the three.

"Eh? Why didn't it show up?"

"Yes ... Sometimes for someone like you to need a trigger. Maybe you're a weapon-type hero?"

Flashback Off

"Well that's too exciting. Take out the gun without taking it?" Said Jack sighing! Breath
