The Rising Isekai Apocalypse
chapter 18, the curtain of blood mist

that morning on the way.

before that I and Dust took some licensing letters from the guild because we couldn't get out of this city because of a curse.

then each of us was given a letter containing a magical seal, while being monitored by several people from the adventurer guild, he said,

at that time, dust and I were gathered together with some people who had a rank similar to me.

at first I was confident to get acquainted and add friends but at that time.

they all sneered at me.

they all cornered me and Dust with dirty and insulting words.

at first I was stunned by all their words then I tried to reply to all the insults but at that time the dust stopped me.

"please stop senior Felix." said Dust while trying to separate me.

"are you stupid dust!, do you not hurt when scorned with words like that?.. Now it's off me! " saying.

"i beg you.., just this once, please,

please listen to my explanation." said Dust with a grim expression.

hearing that I immediately obeyed dust because I felt something he was hiding.

without saying much I immediately pulled the arm of the dust and brought it to the back of the carriage Line

"what's wrong with you" I asked.

dust remained silent without answering.

"why are you silent, do you not feel insulted! " say me with anger.

responding to that dust was only stunned while lowering the Head.

"again I say!, will you continue like that!"

just then dust looked like he was wiping something in his eyes, he took off the steel helmet from his head_and that moment I came to my senses.

"hiks, hiks, senior Felix if you're still angry just hit me.., hicks, hicks, but promise me that you won't bother them." said Dust in tears.

" but why?...Who are they? "

"hiks, hiks, they're sons of nobility. hikss." said dust.

at that time I could not bear to see the dust menagis, I took the initiative to rub his head while entertaining.

"excuse me dust at that time I was too selfish, I promised it would not be like that again" I said while wiping to dust.

"hiks hyks.do you promise not to argue with them again "

"yes I promise "

at that time I continued to entertain dust with some stories that I thought were funny until he stopped crying.

after a few hours we walked on to the road..

by then Dust had told me all the things I didn't know.

dust tells the rules to the people and nobles, and,

he also told me why he could cry.

(it is ironic) I thought, for the nobility and the people are like heaven and earth.

the people could do nothing when the nobility had made a decision, like a land that could not ask for an argument to the heavens.

imagine if the sky continued to not rain, the dry season would make the land dry and the tribulation was sure to occur and now it is happening in the Kingdom.

the kingdom demands a tax too great for the people, while the people who try to fight will be destroyed, that is the speech that wants to be dusted to me through proverbs.

(don't think it turns out that dust is smart enough) I thought because dust is an innocent quiet and honest person, he prefers his hurt self to see all his friends being miserable.

" dust you have the soul of the leader "my words while joking.

" uhh.. me, how could it be? " say dust with a plain facial expression.

" well I'm sure someday you'll be the leader in your family, hahaha" I said with a laugh.

hearing that dust came to smile, in the end we continued to joke until the dawn disappeared.

.........

night in the forest..

on the way, we were split into two squads,

attack and logistics teams.

right now dust and I are in the logistic squad because they have direct orders from the guild employees who are following us.

"cihh bored" I told dust

"senior Felix, I'm hungry" Dust said.

"hold on!, and soon until "my word.

at that time we took the right route because according to the information obtained that the route was the safest and usual passed by the merchant cart.

the task we received was the easiest because we only supplied food to the attacking team,

and that's why we're here.

.....

the night is getting late accompanied by a beautiful cluster of stars.

our journey is illuminated by the dim light of all three moons orbiting the planet.

(it was a beautiful night) I thought.

the sound of horseshoes rhymed through the silence of the night.

right now dust and I are in the line of escorts behind the horse-drawn carriage .

there were a few bodyguards complaining that they had been walking all day without rest.

" uhh men, was it just me who felt played, " said a bodyguard.

" well, maybe it's not just you who feel that way" said a colleague of the bodyguard.

" stop sneering at nobles!!. You will get into trouble when they hear it."

said the colleagues who were beside him.

" cih!, take it easy, ..The nobles are soundly asleep in their pram" said a bodyguard.

at that time some of the bodyguards were seen laughing out loud while insinuating the nobles.

..

a few hours later...

dust and the bodyguards looked very tired because of this trip, they were seen walking staggeringly because they held the drowsiness in their eyes.

at that time when I took the initiative to brew a glass of coffee for them, I walked to the front of the horse carriage belonging to the adventurer guild to ask for hot water.

suddenly, I heard a debate.

"our captain must stop immediately" said the guild member.

"but we're almost there" said the knight captain.

" we have to stop!!!, that night trip was very dangerous!" said the guild member in an angry tone.

" i am the captain here, so you must listen to my orders, " said the knight captain.

"but look at them, they look very tired" said the guild member.

" don't say much, you don't have the authority on this expedition, after all they get paid the right price" said the knight captain.

after hearing the debate, I undo my intention to ask for water and return to the Back row.

arriving behind Barisan, I was asked by several guards like, "where have you been" "what have you done" they asked.

at that time I replied that I was going to ask for hot water but nothing.

then they laughed and said "what is hot water in the middle of the night like this "

at that moment I answered

" i want to brew a cure to keep us awake. "

at that moment they were stunned by my words,

some of them were stunned because they had scorned me and others offered to help.

some of the good guys from the bodyguard helped me. They took a pot from the carriage and heated it with fire magic.

after that I brewed a pot of black coffee and distributed his_ to those in the Back Line.

"forgive me son!, I was just joking " said a bodyguard who mocked me earlier

"pardon us for being carried away by our emotions because we are so exhausted and have not been rested" the guards said, patting me on the shoulder.

" yahh but please don't repeat" I said with a smile.

at that time we were all chatting while walking and there were some of them who distributed their provisions after seeing what I was doing.

.....

we were late in the conversation,

I became more familiar with them, though,

they all told her life stories like, household stories, stories about her son and some stories that were a little sensitive to be told like the story of the cruelty of the nobles, and some rotten stories about the kingdom.

(yes that's a common story for them) I thought as I thought about how hard life they lived.

that time..

the road we took was getting foggy, as if walking aimlessly.

the forest on both sides of us looked extremely pitch-black, and the sounds of wild animals could be heard from within.

the roar!! karaa!!

by then, the entire squad had prepared with their weapons when they heard the roar of the Beast growing louder and louder.

the sound was like a battle sound between the animals of the Beast,

at that moment there was the sound of dozens of trees collapsing from within the forest.

the truck! nah! nah! nah! kreeek !! the crek! the crek! boom! brakk!

("what's that noise?") whispered to the guards.

(suutt!! don't make a sound, maybe it's just a fallen tree" whispered the bodyguard

but strangely the sound of the fallen tree felt like it was getting closer and the sound of footsteps were so heavy that it shook the ground we were stepping on.

oh, doom!! prallak!! oh, doom!! prallak!! oh, doom!! prallak!!..

the ground we stepped on felt trembling.The sound of the tree falling down and the footsteps sounded like following us.

at that time, all the people who were still awake became panicked. Our footsteps grew faster.

"everything run fast!! " shouted the knight captain.

that moment.

the sound grew louder, as if chasing us from behind.

doom up! doom up! doom!. doom!

he chased us from the back lane, and at that time we did not know what kind of figure was chasing us.

"hey what is it" I asked the bodyguard.

"well, just run fast" they said.

" the coward! " i said, seizing a torch from one of the guards in front of me. Then I took a swing and threw the torch towards the creature behind us.

"wossh "a torch hovering, a torch hovering,

everyone in the back saw my action, the torch flew between a pair of big feet and landed on the ground.

"hey!!! you saw that! " cried the guards with agitated expressions.

" mom, ma'am, it's not that big" they shouted.

"anything is a quick run, for we cannot possibly win against it" cried the knight captain.

"we ran as hard as we could because you were aware of our limits,

after a while of running.

the voice sounded further and further, the entire squad members were seen sighing as they were still able to survive the giant.

" uhh! it's really stressful "say them.

suddenly, a giant hand reached for a horse cart containing a feeding supply.

" wosh" the supply train was lifted

" i i it! the orge! "shouts a guard.

" why is he on the line here" said a bodyguard.

" it's not that it's too big! " says a bodyguard.

"captain what should we do" they shouted.

"i'll take command, don't try to attack him" shouted the guild member.

at that moment the entire crowd became silent while turning off their torches.

"(ehh why don't we fight him) I whispered to the bodyguard beside me.

" (do not try to fight him, for if an orge is angry, he could destroy a quarter of the kingdom)" whispered the bodyguard.

"(then why are we silent) I said.

"(because orge is the most stupid monster and there are rarely cases of attacks caused by orge, but if we tease him he will strike back, he will strike back, therefore we will seize the opportunity and then run away before he realizes it." whispered the bodyguard.

at that time we all walked around while watching a giant orge who was trying to dismantle the food supply.

at first our plan was successful but when it was heard the sound of giant footsteps from earlier chasing us.

the voice was now behind us and we were conscious.

"isn't it orge?, why are they in groups" they said,

"Be careful that this is not an ordinary orge, but a species of mountain orge" said the guild member.

"why is he here? " ask them.

at that time, the orge reached for the food supply cart that was in front of us, we could not ban it because we were afraid of a fight, which would take a lot of lives.

"it seems that on the mountain there are no animals to hunt, now we will continue the plan that was "cried the guild members.

" can't, just don't leave before you take back the food supply" shouted a boy from inside the horse-drawn carriage.

"break, "the voice of someone kicking the door, that person was the noble child who watched the orge from behind his window.

"ehh but! " cried the bodyguard in a jolted tone because of that impossible command.

" i don't want to know, anyway you have to grab the food supply because there is my favorite food there"

"uhh but there is no way we won against him" said the guards.

"you are all weak!!, see my magic" said the boy from the carriage,

he took out his magic wand and then fired a fire ball towards the face of the mountain orge.

"wooost brook"

the fireball burned the face of the mountain orge, the once neutral mountain orge was now angry while looking at us.

"yuhu hit!, now I have weakened him, you quickly attack the giant because he had me soften, " cried out excitedly a child from inside the carriage.

"dumb basics!.., after this the adventurer guild will lower your rank!, all of them quickly run with all your abilities" said the guild member.

at that time all the people were running with all their energy.

the boy continued to berate _cry everyone who ran, he felt like he was the greatest.

"troublemaker basics" I said.

the monster became angry, he uprooted the tree around him and then hit his_ at us.

"wost!! brukk" cratt "cratt "

some people were hit by wooden logs, their bodies were crushed instantly, their blood was scattered in the air.

" senior felix I'm scared!," cried dust.

"if you're afraid, don't try to look at her" I said.

just then a wooden rod punch darted beside the dust,

wostt!" brooks!" cratt!" , the person next to her _dead in a horrible way, her blood splashing towards dust's face.

dust looks desperate for death, he is seen running with a blank look in his eyes.

for some reason I didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, I just kept observing the monster's movements while running.

just then the monster who was at the side also attacked, he clenched his hands and hit the horse carriage that was far ahead of us.

wost!! bruk!! krakk !!. scattered pieces of wood.

I was confused to run where because in front of us there was an orge who was ready to hit us, while behind us there was a mountain orge that was ready with the trunk of the tree.

....

at that moment I saw a punch that was pointing towards the two of us,

" dust beware!! " i said while pulling the dust hand towards the forest.

"wostt prak, uuhh"

the wooden stick hit one of my legs, the wood was crushed and the ground around it was split, but luckily we managed to dodge in the direction of the forest.

"fuck!!. This hurts "my words while holding my right leg which looks a bit crooked.

right now, dozens of our members are slaughtered like a castrate being chased by wolves.
