After a long walk, Leon and the others finally reached their destination. But what greeted them there was not a good appearance.
In front of them was a collapsed hut with cracked ground accompanied by black ash scattered where. Tree trees that grow at a distance of dozens of meters from the place even collapsed and some suffered broken on the trunk that should be sturdy and strong. Nothing good to see here.
But there were some bodies lying on the ground with bodies full of wounds among the black ashes.
Suddenly the appearance of the body made everything immediately approach where they were. The body that was quite far from the collapsed hut numbered 4 people.
In one look, Melvin instantly recognized all of them. His expression looked shocked, shocked, and tense, "What happened to them?!"
The incision-filled wounds all over the stiffened body left Melvin inexhaustible with what had just happened, "Why could they be like this?!"
Ray himself seems unable to explain what happened. His eyes trembled slightly in surprise. The last time he was here, the situation of the humans was not like this. He doesn't even see Kay or Ken present.
Freed and Nix also check the state of the human. They both don't know him. But for sure, this man is part of them.
Nix shaking. The man he examined was dead.
But Freed, who was examining another human, said, "He's still alive, but his heart rate is weak."
Melvin bit her lower lip. Only 2 of the 4 are still alive. They're Lym and the guy with one leg, Farel. However, both of them are very critical and can die right now.
Melvin looked at Ray who was standing not far from him, "Why did they get to this?! Didn't you say you were going to look after her?!"
Braakk
The sound of something being hit by something sounded made everyone turn to the old hut that had collapsed. Everyone saw someone coming out of the rubble.
The debauchery caused by the hit earlier made some people unable to see the faces of people in there. But Ray immediately went closer to the hut, as well as Leon.
It's true what they think. From inside there came a cold-faced young man. His dark blue clothes were dirty by the debris and ruins of the former hut.
"What happened, Kay?!" ask Ray quickly.
Kay coughed a cough for a while. He looked at Ray with a slight downward gaze, "Ken was taken away by the undead."
"W-what? Whatchu mean? How could that happen?! Tell me what really happened!"
Ray was obviously shocked and in disbelief at Kay's words. How could a young man like Ken be brought by.. A undead? What the hell does that mean?
"First of all, get out of the ruins first" said Leon calmly.
Both of Kay's eyebrows shot up in shock at Leon's presence. But now is not the time to let go of longing after a long time did not meet. He quickly came out of the rubble like Leon had said.
"Now tell me slowly what's going on here?" ask Leon.
"Well, that's fucked up." said Kite, who just arrived. Not long since he arrived, Felix also got there. But knowing that his partner was near the hut, he came closer.
Felix looked around that looked so messy. His gaze immediately turned to Kay, "Why is there only you? Where's Ken?"
Not answering Felix's question, Kay began to tell him what had just happened, "After Ray left earlier, things were still fine before a different undead came along. At first I thought he was just an ordinary undead like the one before came attacking. But it turns out he's different.
Haven't had the chance to attack him yet, he's already attacked us with a sword. At that very instant, there was a pressing pressure until we were all unable to move. At first it was easy to break free, and Ken and I attacked him.
Increasingly, things are not in our favor at all. He urged to make the four humans also hurt. So do I. You could say, I was a hostage. As the situation grew increasingly unfavorable, the undead spoke.
He'll let me and all the humans that were attacked if Ken wants to come with him. Ken agreed, and then I was thrown into this pile. I don't know anything after that."
Everyone fell silent to the long explanation of the cold-faced young man whose expression now looked uneasy. It seemed like he was worried about his partner being taken away.
"The living who uses the sword? What kind is the same as the undead we fought before?" felix said a little slowly.
Looks like Melvin and some people came to hear Kay's explanation. But only Melvin went straight to the crowd of these 4 demons. His face was flushed with a sharp look, "You guys promised to look after them, but what is this?! Even two of them died like this!"
Ray, who heard the human's annoyance, was immediately upset, "Didn't you hear the situation, huh? My friend was also kidnapped for that human to be released! If not for it, everything might have died! At least two of them are still alive!"
"Mr Melvin! They're both healed!" freed shouted in a pleased tone.
"He really doesn't know thank you! We shouldn't have helped him in the first place! Troublesome!" grouse Ray.
"He should have no trouble coping with the undead even though the bodies he fought with were the same as those of Stev and Silvia" Leon said.
"Why are you so sure?" ray asked with an expression that was still upset.
Leon stared at Ray flatly, "You yourself know his identity. It shouldn't be so hard for him to finish off one undead."
Ray's stunned. Ken's identity cannot be underestimated. Though said to be the youngest among them, Ken is actually the oldest of them all. It could even be said, since the existence of life in this world, Ken had been present not long after.
Only, Ken the youngest among them about the age can not be denied. It is hard to understand if someone does not know their background.
"Then, what should we do?" said Kay with a look that looks a little restless.
"For now we better get out of this place first. I feel there will be many other undead coming" Felix replied.
Leon nodded, "Yes, I agree."
"Are we going with all those humans?" ray's tone sounded like he didn't like it.
"4 the people who come with me will come. It's up to how the humans are with you," Leon replied tightly.
"All right, leave it."
"No way, we've said we're going to bring them back to the human world" Felix said.
Ray clucked with an annoyed look, "Ck, they don't know thank you. I don't like."
"I–we can't break what was agreed upon before."
Kay nodded in agreement. Their principle is to continue to do what has been agreed with others.
Leon did not go any further in the talk of the three demons. He prefers to go to another crowd.
Kite who had been beside Need looked to the side when he found out Leon's whereabouts beside him, "You know the young man with earrings, the demon with the headband and the demon there?"
Leon nodded, "They're my friends."
Kite clicked with a look of amazement, "Woahh turns out demons like you have friends too huh? Greatable.. Now you're a big, grown-up."
Leon immediately looked at the young man cynically.
Not yet able to speak, Rafa patted him on the shoulder from the side. The man whispered softly in his ear so that the voice would not be heard by anyone.
Once done, Rafa slightly moved away from Leon. He looked at her and waited for the decision of the young demon.
"No, I can't."
Rafa expressed disappointed, "Why? You don't want to either?"
"It's not okay, but it can't."
"Why?"
"A skill like this can't always be used. The energy needed is huge and the energy used is life. You have very little life energy, even a part of my soul. Therefore, you can't do it. Although I can, but it won't always work and it can't always be done."
Hearing the explanation in a soft voice from Leon made Rafa stunned. He had previously asked Leon to turn on two humans from his Uncle's subordinates. But Leon gave that answer. He also sighed and nodded lethargicly.
Leon's explanation of his inability did indeed make Rafa a little disappointed. But he was more disappointed when he heard he couldn't bring someone back to life.
"Death is destiny. Bringing her back to life is tantamount to defying the fate outlined," Kite spoke. Although the voices of the two whispered, but he could hear it because it was right next to Leon.
"...Therefore, you may receive the consequences after previously reviving a human named Nevan."
Leon glanced at Kite without saying anything. That's something that could have happened. It is against the destiny of one's life. One day, he will have the consequences of that.
