A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 36: The Bandits - 1

In a forest, a black-haired young man was walking with a silver-haired girl.

Some beasts and monsters are in the form of***** woods occasionally attack them on the street. However, the young man only ignored him and when the monsters were close enough to them, the head of the monster immediately flew up, cut off but left a headless body lying lifeless.

“You've been pretty great Rion.”

Rion only glanced at Lily, choosing not to respond to the girl. Approaching the monster, he then skinned it as a foodstuff later tonight.

Indeed, when compared to him first, Rion is currently experiencing rapid improvement, especially on his speed and control. According to Lily herself this is normal, because Rion himself can move quickly in freezing temperatures during the death zone then it is impossible for his movements to be blunt, he said, for the matter of magic itself, it does not need to be asked again.

Moreover, the sword that Rion used by himself could be said to be quite qualified, although he did not know the quality of this sword because it only took it when he wanted to practice battle techniques. However, when compared to Demand's spear that he had brought, this sword felt superior.

As an easy example the sword in Rion's hand was still sharp and without the slightest rust. In addition, he also took a spear that was not far from the position of this sword.

Since exiting the death zone Rion already had a mature plan for what he wanted to do. The first is to go to the Sylius Continent, but with the presence of Lily makes the journey a little hampered, because their own innate number is quite increased.

Although Lily said she wanted to help Rion, but when they were attacked or looking for food and water, she never helped Rion in the least. When she asks Lily why she's acting like that, Lily always looks for excuses that sometimes don't even make sense.

However, given that Lily took care of him when he was seriously injured, Rion chose not to comment and took this as a form of reply.

“Rion, we're going to the Sylius Continent, right?” ask Lily.

“Ya.”

“Then, why are we heading east? Isn't going straight north from where it's easier?”

Hearing this, Rion put on a sour face. “I want to go to the port of Reutania Kingdom. If I go north and use the port of Eugary Empire there will definitely be unnecessary trouble,” Shift his eyes he muttered, “Moreover I am also a fugitive in the empire.”

“Yah .. so the point is we take a detour because of you? But, the distance between Reutania Kingdom and Eugary Empire in Sylius Continent itself is quite far know?”

“Is not Reutania Kingdom the closest country to Eugary Empire?” rion asked in surprise.

After all, from the books he had read the Reutania Kingdom region was mostly in the south, while the southwestern region itself already belonged to the Eugary Empire. Because of this he thought that the distance between the two countries was not too far away.

“Yes, it is like that, but did you not know that Reutania Kingdom itself is the second largest country in the Sylius Continent? Although the Continent of Sylius is said to be the smallest of the three continents, but nevertheless the continent is a continent and quite wide know.”

Rion's steps stopped, his attention focused on Lily's words. Looking at the girl he repeated his words. “Three continents?”

“Forget ...,” said Lily realized she had said unnecessary things. He chose not to serve the question that Rion said further, because he thought this did not need Rion to know if he wanted to focus on retaliation for his goal.

Seeing this Rion refrained from choosing not to ask any further. If indeed Lily did not want to tell her then it was fine, after all she knew there were continents other than the Sylius Continent and the Zestia Continent. Although this information is not much useful now, but he believes it is better to know things that might have an impact on his plans.

“You better hide your face Lily? Maybe use a mask or change it with mimic?” remember Rion.

“Liet me, I will not run let alone make you trouble. Therefore it is not necessary.”

Rion let out a long sigh, the other reason he did not want Lily to come was because of this girl's face. Maybe Lily won't run or make Rion a problem. However, it is the problem that seems to be knocking on their door because it is interested in Lily.

The two of them continued to walk until night, although Rion could still continue the journey because both his body and mind were not tired, let alone he could see well at night. However, it was better for them to rest because it had been five days that they had walked without stopping, besides, Lily seemed to have already reached the limit of her body.

“You rest first,” said Rion to Lily whose eyes were already heavy.

“Ya ..”.

A bonfire lit up in the middle, attacking around with chunks of meat neatly lined up in the surroundings. Stretching her body, Rion ate the meat of the monster that had been burned before, while Lily preferred the meat of the beast.

Although monster meat in general can not be eaten by other creatures, because it contains toxins that are harmful to the body of normal living things. However, since Rion's own body had already adapted to the Beast Lord's Blood Essence made him immune from the poison, Lily still looked at him with a funny look.

The flames kept trying to drive away the night in this forest. The night was getting late and Lily seemed to have fallen asleep, Rion himself was still awake while looking at the stars in the sky.

A small smile formed at the corner of her lips, an experience that could be described with the word crazy had been her experience during this half a year. Glancing at Lily, Rion was unable to hold his breath, at least he did not feel too lonely as in the days of being the object of experiments in the laboratory.

All of this has felt more than enough for her, even though Lily's mannerisms ..well, sometimes annoying. However, it made him recall memories and feelings that he had almost forgotten.

All was very calm until he turned his head, the light in Rion's eyes looked increasingly deep into the forest.

‘It seems we are being watched by a group of people ..’ thought Rion suspected what he was feeling.

Taking a deep breath, Rion got up from his seat, the sword lying down was now neatly tied around his waist.

“It seems that we will not be able to rest in peace. I hope it's just for tonight,” muttered Rion as he slightly glanced at Lily.

Taking small steps, Rion started walking towards the group of people who felt that they were watching her and Lily.
