Humanity Return

Ch. 50 – Giant Beast and An Acquaintance

Thick dust covered everyone's view, which was generated by the explosion from the newcomer's landing.

This made everyone stop moving and look at that very sudden change of situation with a surprised expression.

After a while, the dust fog finally began to subside, revealing the original form of the huge shadow.

“Pssht~”

Leinn and Roland were lying in a huge hole while patting the body of the creature that had befallen them, a giant snake.

Only their head and one hand were still free, while the rest of their bodies were squeezed by the huge slurry of the snake.

The snake was seen noticing the claps of the two humans below and started moving, dragging its giant body over the bodies of the two young men.

“Ohok-“

“Twi-“

After that long, long time, the snake finally managed to lift its body from the two of them and surround the two young men.

Leinn began to wake up while holding her painful waist.

“PSSHT!”

“Wow!”

The giant snake leaned Leinn's stomach quite firmly and lifted him into the air.

A smile began to appear on his face as he recognized the huge snake.

The new Roland managed to lift his body also looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

“Haha! You've been bigger since we last met!”

The audience around them only looked at the strange scene with a confused expression, the tense atmosphere that the two young men were exuding had already disappeared without a trace.

A small portion of the spectators in the stadium, precisely the group of new disciples who possessed the Contracted Beast from the very beginning recognized the identity of the snake.

They had already seen him while running the same test as the blond-haired young man.

“Twig, put him down. I don't want you to steal my winnings”

“Psssht?”

“Haha..”.

Leinn landed on the ground smoothly and spewed blood, soaking the stone floor underneath.

Roland began to walk over to her without caring about the blood that was soaking his body. Looks like his right leg bones and some ribs have also been cracked.

The giant snake began to lower its face to see the condition of Leinn in front of him.

“Psssht..”

“Haha, take it easy. It's just a shallow wound” Leinn said with a smile, looking increasingly pale.

Aura leaped over the long body while riding Rufus and reached near them and found Leinn who was stroking the head of the snake.

Basalt also landed beside him with a Clear ball.

Leinn looked overjoyed to meet the snake, showing the same expression he had shown when he had started his fight earlier. But this time without any solid fighting intent.

Aura realized that Leinn recognized the new Beast.

The giant snake with a length of more than 20 meters and a body as wide as the height of the adult man was extremely gripping to look at, along with golden black scales all over its body it produced a dangerous scene of beauty.

Roland looked at the newcomer, the big wolf carrying a girl jumping over his snake body and a small gorilla carrying a crystal ball.

“Leinn!”

Along with Aura who was running towards Leinn, a gust of cold wind could be felt in that stadium.

A blue haired girl slid off the huge ice that passed through the long body surrounding them and landed beside Roland, she was seen frowning her forehead.

“Roland”

Roland's smile disappeared and his face returned flat, the same expression as before Leinn called out to him.

Most of the spectators around them reduced their tension of seeing familiar expressions from him and not feeling strange, other than two people.

The newly arrived blue haired little girl showed an expression of shock, then sadness...

“Hmph!”

Then he looked at Leinn with an angry expression.

Leinn who saw the expression of his old friend who changed suddenly first felt strange, then he realized this situation when he saw the various expressions of the blue-haired girl in front of him.

“Oooh..”.

“What's ‘Oooh”!”

The blue-haired girl replied to Leinn sharply, showing her dislike clearly.

He was unaware of the change in expression of the black-haired young man before him.

But Roland noticed the expression on Leinn's face, an unfamiliar expression.

Before he could do anything, Leinn had already stepped closer to him, precisely approaching the girl beside him.

Filled with unpleasant feelings, he moved to protect the girl beside him.

“Eh?” the girl looked confused by Roland's movements.

“Leinn...” a sharp gaze can be seen in Roland's eyes.

“Hehe”

The girl looked a little surprised to see Roland suddenly move in front of her, but that feeling changed when she saw the black-haired young man who was smiling at her.

He moved to the side and pointed his wand at her.

“A-What you want-“

“Include, I am Leinn. Greetings, Adeline”

The blue haired girl, Adeline opened her eyes wide at the words of the young man in front of her.

The young man who recognized him.

“...eh?”
