A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 45: The Story of the Overnight - 2

The brothers' eyes glazed over, tears beginning to condense in the corners of their eyes. Especially for the twins, their tears poured unstoppable.

Ernest's hands shut his two younger siblings' mouths, preventing them from making any noise. However, his expression also betrayed the actions he had taken. Suffering is evident from what it shows.

All because of the bloody scene that was happening. Their father is still alive, it should make them happy but it can't be done.

Seeing that he screamed in pain after his hands and feet were cut off, separated from his body with blood rushing out of the body. Ernest's heart ached, the incision he could feel clearly in every groan his father let out.

However, not only that but also because his father had been overwhelmed by the body parts of others flying at him. After all, Ernest would not be able to imagine what he felt.

However, Fest remained steadfast. He tried to turn around, wriggling like a caterpillar because his hands and feet had slipped off. Making his appearance that was now drenched in blood as if it was nothing to him. Although this also made Ernest want to shout out to him as well, but he realized that he could not.

Fest's mouth opened, moving to say a message to him. Ernest knew exactly what his father wanted, but still he was hard to do.

However, a little bit of Ernest's consciousness that was not dragged by his emotions now seemed to warn him. If he shouted then his position as well as his twin sister would be known by these damned bandits.

He understood and understood what the father wanted, which was to hope for him to make and the sister also survived. Steadying his heart, Ernest tried to look strong at least in front of his two younger siblings. His hands started dragging them to leave while the bandits' attention was on the mercenaries' resistance.

Bowing his head, Ernest said softly, “Let's go, Mila, Nila.”

“T-but A-ayah—“

“I know! But ... if we're here and killed will Dad be happy to see it?” ernest's mouth shuts Nila's mouth.

Nila let out a more sobbing sound, trying to hold back the crying. While Mila just stared blankly at the figure of her father as the two were forcibly pulled by Ernest to get away from this place.

Not yet recovered from his shock at the attackers' actions, the leader of the mercenary group received an arrow attack from the darkness of the forest before him. An arrow stuck in his left shoulder, although with his level of strength he was able to recuperate from the previous trap, but he did not have time to avoid the arrow that came quickly.

Moving his body, he let out a technique. “Split Slash!”

The arrow was split apart along with the technique, staring at the other mercenaries who survived, he shouted “Everything—“

However, his voice was immediately cut off before he could finish his words when a bandit had advanced, swallowing him in vain resistance.

The more the leader felt the strength of his opponent, the more he realized that what had happened until now was not just due to their unpreparedness.

‘Gold level strength!’ However, before he could think what to do, his head had been severed flying. Although he knew the difference in strength between them, disbelief filled his eyes.

The look on the face of the surviving mercenaries now paled, the leader was the strongest person among them. However, he did not dwell in front of his enemy at all.

The mercenary is now in a mess, trying to be the fastest of who can survive. After all they fought during the risk and the benefits were balanced, but if the person who would give the gold had nothing and the chances of life were slim, what were they fighting for?

However, unlike what they thought it worked, making those who previously wanted to run to join the bandits. Although they were at the strength level at the silver level of level 3-5, but according to these bandits they would be useful. Although they are not actually considered and only used as cannon fodder.

The more time passed the greater the number of people who joined the bandits. With the condition of killing mercenaries near them, whether they were cut off or intact, dozens of people finally joined these bandits.

However, it did not necessarily make everyone choose to join the bandits. Some still choose to run away because they do not want to oppose the kingdom, even though they do not want to be bound by military rules but that does not mean that they do not want to obey the existing rules.

“Line: Slide,” However, the fate of those who choose this path is death when the four people who have been hiding show themselves.

After the spell was cast, the steps they took them did not match what they wanted. Thus, their position was now very soft to land an attack, and soon magic, arrows, and sword slashes rained down on them unilaterally killing the one who chose this path.

Ernest, who had been running for a long time, had ignored the tragic sounds that occasionally sounded from behind, and chose to keep moving his legs forward.

A silhouette of the city was immediately visible in a still dim light. The newly rising sun is now showing its rays, even if it is only a little.

“You hold on! A little more we're almost there!” ernest was convincing. However, a slap was immediately heard in his ear.

“Magic: Wind Cutters!”

A gust of wind crept into his spine as the blades of wind came, Ernest instinctively trying to dodge the attack. Dropping himself, he hoped that the attack would miss.

However, what he did was a mistake that continued to be regretted in the future. His two younger siblings, Mila and Nila were not that fast to be able to follow the movements he did, making the heads of the two who were in the lagging heights of responsibility severed, being hit by an attack that was supposed to cut the bodies of the three of them in half.

Ernest's eyes were empty, the fishy aroma and the clothes full of tears and small wounds did not bother him. However, seeing the heads of his two younger siblings rolling on the ground made him look at his hands in disbelief.

“I caused them to die ...,” Ernest was sure that It was all his fault.

“That's my fault ... if I don't fall down maybe they're still alive .. this is my fault ..

Ernest looked at Dee City in front of him, but there was little they could survive together. Sitting weak, he waited for the bandits to attack him, taking his life like they were killing people.

However, it never happened because the bandits left not to attack him again, perhaps because their distance to the city was close? Ernest's head was full of questions, but knew what to do. Stepping heavily, he was haggard as he headed towards Dee City.

***

Ernest closes the story, he looks still depressed over what happened to him.

Huge, the guard that Ernest met before and his boss the captain of the security forces —Ditch— looked at Ernest.

Especially the view of Huge who is now a bit cloudy because it reminds him of what he had experienced.
