The Slayers
Chapter 124 (Season 3)

In the afternoon, around 5 o'clock, Alex, Norga, Cindy, and Lyfa came out of the snake-level portal.

"Ahhh, tired..." Norga said while stretching his muscles that felt sore.

"It turns out we all fit in as a team huh." Said Alex who was also stretching.

"Yes, maybe sometime we should show our compactness to Brother Alan." Reply Norga.

"Hahaha, that's right! Who knows we can beat him." Alex said with great zeal despite the cleaning.

Cindy could only laugh. He had no idea why Alex and Norga always talked of wanting to defeat Alan, even while inside the portal, they kept raving about their many flaws. And, maybe the other one has an unbearable curiosity.

"Hey, you two."

The voice of the woman who was out of nowhere was heard. There were only 4 people there, besides, who? Think Alex. Alex had turned to look at Lyfa who just collapsed. Her voice sounded heavy, in contrast to Cindy's soft voice.

"Ehm, guys..."

Hearing Cindy's soft voice, plus her voice was somewhat trembling. Alex instinctively turned to Cindy as fast as lightning.

Norga also looked over after Alex.

The sight they saw was truly shocking. It was quite shocking until they let out a male scream. The thing that made them shout like that was because Cindy had a hand on her, there was a mouth with sharp teeth. Leafa who was just lying down from earlier also became vigilant.

"Let's all of you, I'm just here to talk."

Alex and Norga looked at each other. They both doubt about it. And finally they looked back at Cindy's palm.

"I-I can guarantee that he's good, so you guys just take it easy." Cindy quickly assures that her mouth in her hand will not be strange.

At least, with assurances from Cindy, Alex and Norga became calmer.

"Thank you, Cindy." Speak in Cindy's hands, expressing her sincere gratitude.

"Together."

"In that case, I'm here first to ask you guys. Do you still remember me?"

"You, the witch who almost killed me?" Alex guessed without hesitation.

"Exactly. I apologize for what I did at that time. Maybe I was overdoing it."

"It's okay, that pass let pass." Norga arbitrarily spoke, which upset Alex inwardly. At that time, if Alan was a second late, his life was gone. But he also decided to forget about it.

"Thank you." The tone of Arnima was very sincere, in contrast to that time.

"Now, I'll get straight to the point. Actually, the person back then, who was he really?"

"Who? Brother Alan? Alan's brother is just a regular wild Slayer." Reply Alex innocently.

"Isn't that obvious?" Norga.

"I mean, he's abnormal. Not how he fought, but the way he fought was a bit strange. And that way of fighting shouldn't be possessed by humans like him."

"Yes is it. Alan is a bit different. If you're asking me where Alan's power comes from, I don't know." Obviously Alex.

"Sir Alan told us once. Even the way he became Special was somewhat other." Add Norga with a splashy gelagat.

"You mean?" Some speculation began to appear in Arnima. But what makes the most sense is that Alan was the one who got lucky to be chosen by an entity he didn't know about. Because Alan's powers belong to the same as those of a foreign god.

"So, Alan's brother was accidentally trapped in a portal and had to survive there. Finally Brother Alan came out of the portal as a Specialist. In short, so."

The brief explanation from Norga makes Arnima confused, especially Cindy who does not know anything. Despite trying to join the topic, he could not digest the topic at all.

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all." Reply Norga innocently. Alex just nodded.

Arnima finally accepted that brief explanation. After all, he did not expect from the beginning if the two children in front of him could answer his question with a satisfactory answer.

"Thank you for answering my question." Arnima.

Alex and Norga just nodded with smiles on their faces. They also came home with happy faces.

"Sir Alan!"

Alex and Norga yell out to Alan. Alan didn't give them both the keys to the house. Now, they could only shout in the hope that Alan would come out and open the door.

"Why is it all closed?" Ask Cindy. He came here because he wanted to try to stop by.

"No idea, Alan's brother may be gone again."

"But Alan's brother couldn't have gone and he didn't give us the keys to the house." Alex denied Norga's assumptions and according to Norga it made sense.

Lazy waiting, Lyfa jumped over the fence. Alex, Norga and Cindy were surprised and thought why didn't they do that?

They all then jumped over the fence very easily. Alex then sees Lyfa breaking in by clawing at the door. Seeing that, Alex immediately panicked and stopped Leafa.

"Don't do that! If you do that, we'll get in trouble!"

Leafa who had prepared his sharp claws finally complied with his flat face. Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, how do we get in?" Norga asked who in his head was now preparing various plans to break into the house.

"It's important not to try to break into the house!" As a very close friend of Norga, Alex knows what Norga has in mind now. "Why don't we just try to tap?"

"Haha, let's just yell, Alan didn't answer, let alone knock!"

"What's wrong with trying?"

Though hesitant, Alex and Norga knock on the door loudly simultaneously. Still, Alan did not give any response.

"That's it..."

"How should we go?" Alex is worried. "When should we break into this house? If Alan's brother is angry how?"

"Son Alan is not a father."

Norga casually said so.

"Your eyes!"

Alex and Norga begin to argue. Cindy tried to figure out how to get in. Cindy then sees that Lyfa is focusing on one place and Lyfa is approaching that place. Cindy then approached Leafa and searched until she found a key.

"Meet!"

""uh? Meet you?""

Apparently there is a spare key stored in the pot located next to the door of the house. Thanks to Lyfa's smell, the key can be found.

"Thank you." Cindy hugged and stroked Leafa out of pleasure. Lydia seemed to enjoy it. Cindy opened the door with the key in her hand.

When opening the door of the house, as when Alex and Norga first came, the house was very gloomy and dark. Alex squeezes the switch and makes the lights in the living room turn on. There, they were surprised, because Alan who was called several times even to the point of shouting, turned out to be asleep in the sofa.

"Sir Alan why did he sleep so well?" Norga said in wonder.

"Where do I know, want to try waking up?"

"You're just brother."

Alex then approaches Alan and tries to wake him up, but does not wake up. Norga helped, but did not wake up. They try different ways to wake Alan up, but Alan, like a man without a life, doesn't wake up at all. Alex doesn't know what else he can use to wake Alan up. Suddenly, his attention was fixed on something that was in Alan's hands. A gold ring that looks expensive.

"Since when has Alan been wearing a ring?" Wonder Alex.

"Ring?" Intrigued by Alex's intentions, Norga and Cindy approach and see the gold ring worn by Alan in his middle.

"I never saw the ring." Norga.

"I've never seen Alan's brother wear it either."

Without a hint, they were half-dead and hoped Alan would suddenly rise from his sleep and explain everything.

***

"Heah.... Haah...." On the other hand, Alan this time was breathing with difficulty. Amidst the scattered corpses of hellhounds, Alan stood with various wounds on his body. The dagger in his hand was covered with the red color of blood.

This time, he was in the third challenge. The third challenge against the fierce and savage hellhounds, plus their numbers are many.

But Alan can still survive. The black silhouettes that were paying attention were astonished by Alan, except for the hooded black silhouette, He was still in his flat expression.

The place started to change again, this time, the place was foggy with barren land and purple-colored sky. Alan was curious about the enemy, especially the one he was fighting. And, from afar, a winged figure was seen, not just one, but dozens. The winged figures were not very visible, until finally, when Alan was able to see clearly what the creature was, his eyes widened and his jaw slammed. Enemies that did not want to meet and opponents had already appeared.
