“Ctang..” The sound of Ray's spearhead reflected by the hardness of the monster Crystal.
‘Ha...!, impossible.’ Inner Ray as his body that was still entangled passed through the monster.
After being dragged far enough away, Ray got up with his injured right shoulder. “How can the spear I made not be able to break that Crystal.” Say it with your left hand holding your right shoulder.
Seeing the monster that had stopped and turned towards him, Ray immediately got up and started running again avoiding the monster who also ran after him from behind.
‘Sial!, why so this way. I think the Crystal that was right there was a Crystal that was easy to destroy, it turned out everything was wrong.” While running with a disappointed face.
‘For now I have to avoid it and climb to the top of the tree, look around the creature is not too smart in terms of climbing.’
Since the melee fight could not be won by Ray, he chose to continue with the long-range fight.
Ray runs very fast, because he has a fairly slim body, he can run as fast as a horse. While running towards the tree where he was hiding, Ray took the time to turn the spear in front to be backward to make it easier for Ray to climb quickly.
‘That's it, my rescue tree.’ His words praised the large tree that was now right in front of him.
With all his might, Ray leaped towards the tree and quickly his hands held the top wooden branch. At first Ray managed to hold the branch of wood, but because of a strong enough blow, he felt a tremendous pain in his right shoulder which resulted in Ray's right hand not being able to hold the branch anymore.
“Arghhh!.” Ray's shrill voice caused by pain in his shoulder.
‘Ah,why should I be injured at inappropriate times.’ Inner Ray with face pain.
With the situation where he relies on one hand, Ray took the time to look at the monster who was running towards him.
‘Damn it!, that disgusting creature is almost there. Now I have to try to lift this body to the top.’ With all his might, he pulled his body higher up the tree. When the top surface of the wooden branch had reached his chest, Ray used his right arm which was still painful to help him climb up.
“Arghhh!, I feel like my right arm wants to break.” Speak with a tone of pain.
Arriving at the top, Ray immediately held the tree tightly because at the same time as him who had ascended, the monster also arrived under the tree where Ray was sheltering.
Without giving Ray a chance to rest, the monster just raised its front legs and placed them on the tree trunk and shook the tree very strongly.
“A-I have to endure, I'm sure there is a time when that damn creature will stop wiggling this tree.” he said in a messy tone.
With a body that is swayed like a hempas by the strong currents of the sea, Ray still remains steadfast standing on a tree. because it has experienced the same incident like this, Ray, Ray finally gains the body's balancing ability.
‘While this is not a special skil, I am still grateful to get it.’ Ray was proud of his heart.
Seeing that the monster's efforts could not topple Ray up there, the monster stopped shaking the tree and put its front legs back on the ground.
Feeling that the monster was exhausted, Ray, who was still holding the tree tightly, ventured to look down at the tree. Not the pleasure that Ray will get, but the panic that envelops his mind.
How not did the monster stop not because of fatigue, but he saw that the monster began to dig on the trunk of the tree which intended to topple the tree where Ray was sheltering.
‘No, no, no.!, he will uproot this tree. Now I have to how, with my current state, even run I will not be able to.’ Grumbling in the heart.
“A-what is this?.” Ray asked confusedly.
{Use this herb by drinking it, then the pain and wounds that are in your body will heal.} The voice of the woman buzzing in Ray's mind.
“You're a mysterious woman who wasn't?.”
{True, it's me who has resurrected you.}
“Why at a time like this you want to help me, instead of you happy to see me miserable and continue to be tormented huh?.” Asked Ray with a snapping tone.
{It's not like that Ray Frinson, I have a reason why I can't appear when you wake up and not help you to the end to fight the monster called Nue.} Answer the mysterious voice to Ray.
“So why didn't you help me from the beginning, what for you I was just a tool to play.”
{No, you are a special human Ray. You are not a tool but rather a hope that will change this world.}
“If I am hope, why am I treated like this?.” Ray asked back with tears beginning to stem.
{This is not my plan, but fate. But I'm sure with all the pain you've been through, you'll grow into someone strong Ray.}
“All right, for now I don't know if I should believe it or not. But there's one more question you haven't answered. Why have you never shown me your true figure?.”
Hearing Ray's last question, made the mysterious girl pause for a moment. But seeing the look on her face that really wanted to hear her answer, the mysterious girl also told Ray the truth.
{I who am now is an invisible Spirit. Maybe you don't believe it, but I used to have a real form. Since my real body has been destroyed by someone, I can only rise with the form of a weak spirit like this now.}
Hearing the explanation of the mysterious voice, Ray fell silent and dared not ask who the person who had destroyed it was.
{Alright, all your questions have been answered. Now I'm just going to say stay ahead Ray, don't be easy to give up. I'm sure on your way, you'll find a friend who will always love you and will never leave you!.}
Hearing the encouragement of the mysterious voice, Ray lifted his face and showed a faint smile.
“Thank you for answering all my questions, and now as you said I just have to drink this potion, so all the wounds and pain will be gone.”
{True.} Saut the mysterious voice.
“So after this you will go where?”
{I will be destroyed for good.}
Hearing the short answer of the mysterious voice made Ray surprised.
“What!, you will be destroyed?. B-but why?.”
