Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 15: The Wave

Grey takes Anabeth to a beautiful lake hidden in a row of green trees. He rolled out a mat and then took out various foods that he had previously made such as meat sandwiches, rice cockerel, satay, kare and also some other heavy foods.

It wasn't something that people used to carry on picnics, but if Anabeth liked it it was nothing to be concerned about.

"Uwaah, everything's good again."

"Well, eat slowly."

"Yes." Yeah."

They sat next to each other as they stared at how the view of the beautiful blue sky reflected on the surface of the water. At the time, Anabeth told me how she became a vampire.

His father is a vampire hunter, almost all the vampires he kills and one thing that makes him choose the wrong path is the fact that he kills innocent vampires in front of his wife.

His wife cursed her father saying. That one day your descendants were a vampire race, at that time his father ignored the words as a joke but coincided when his wife gave birth he finally realized the important thing.

He hurriedly returned to the vampire's wife's house even the rain that washed him was never enough, but by the time he arrived he had already ended his life.

Since then Anabeth has lived as a vampire ancestor even as her family slowly dwindled due to death, she is the only one still alive today.

Grey could understand how Anabeth had lived so lonely because that was whether she or Anabeth they needed each other.

At sunset Grey holds Anabeth back home.

He laid his body on the bed then covered it with a blanket before closing the door after saying good-bye.

The next few days Grey and Anabeth went down to the basement, where there were several chains tied to Anabeth, including on her neck, hands and feet.

It was only at this time that Grey did not want to do so either, but otherwise the possibility that Anabeth would go berserk and kill many humans was not zero.

This is the day the red moon will appear. No one knew for sure when the moon happened however, when some monsters came out of the dungeon then it was a sign that it would happen.

Anabeth stared at the sad looking Grey.

"Not to think about it, I don't mind it after all just last night, more than that don't let you die."

"Fufu is what you expect, then good luck."

"Well, I'll be back."

Grey covered his face with a helmet before leaving the basement, this place itself is very secret so no one would possibly be able to find Anabeth if someone came here.

Grey once again saw how the house stood before walking without looking back.

In front of the city gates adventurers had gathered to face the waves, some were also on top of the walls to be ready to give away distant attacks like arrows and magic.

It is now the afternoon of the evening that this wave will begin.

Irena appears while kicking Grey's leg sitting deep among the crowd.

Grey tilted his head at his reaction.

"Is that how you greet people?"

"It's the right thing for you, we're gathered there you're in seclusion here."

"It was my choice."

Irena laughs.

"You're very good at evading."

Grey directed his gaze to the group of Irena who were chatting with each other.

"Are they ready for this?"

"Before we had defeated Hobgoblin, we were really ready now."

The sun set, replaced by red moonlight and then dozens of monsters sprung up from the forest.
