The Arrow of the Goddess

Chapter 21 The battered round

While working at the minimarket, Ericsson thought about the incident when he spoke to Andrian where he saw a thick plume of black smoke surrounding the Wulan friend. That's why he tried to leave quickly. He was worried if around Andrian stuck to a terrible figure. While he does not have any ability to face the creature. And when he turned back to look at the back of the smoke was getting bigger and more concentrated he hurriedly accelerated his pace.  And even though it has reached the minimarket where he works now, this one man is still not separated from his worries. Because he must be vigilant again when working as he is today. There are other creatures in her place. Since then Ericsson's views have kept an eye around. 

"All of them are 105.00 thousand, want to use a plastic bag?" Ericsson is serving customers.

"No, I brought my own Tote bag." Female customers began to put in one by one their groceries. After that the customer pays and leaves immediately.

Worked for hours, it was finally time to go home. Thankfully, nothing strange happened during his time at work. Ericsson was quite relieved this time. He checked all the doors and everything else, made sure everything was safe, then he went home. While passing through a narrow alley, Ericsson was suddenly intercepted by some fierce-looking people with a lot of muscles they had very clearly. Feeling ignorant of the will of those who had blocked his path, the man boldly began to open his mouth to ask.

"What do you want?" Trying to look them in the eye for a bit intimidating.

"We brought you some gifts.!" With a smile they instantly pointed their fists at Ericsson. Luckily the man was able to escape. But that doesn't happen for the next. Because of the next blow. Ericsson managed to get a hard hit on his stomach and face. Blood spots are also visible. Ericsson alone felt overwhelmed. Eventually the stranger managed to make Ericsson weak.

"Remember ! this is a lesson for you, next time never take someone else's!" After saying that, and making Ericsson battered they left the man alone.

The pain and aches almost felt by Ericsson all over his body. He laid his body on the ground, on his back, with a gaze that looked up at the night sky.

"Didn't the star look very little today?" The man said the strange thing with blood spots that were still clearly visible on the corner of his lips.

"Huh.appa it hurts quite a bit too it feels !" The man grinned in pain, while holding the side of his stomach that felt very painful.

With a great struggle, the man made it home. Just turning on the lights, he was surprised by the presence of Alexia who was already standing in front of him.

"Surprise !" After Alexia said that, both Ericsson's eyes were rounded, and 1 2 3 seconds later his body was uprooted. 

"Ericsson!" Call Alexia who panics.

Despite being in a state of distress, his appearance of the man was still in a state of consciousness. 

Alexia looked at the man's battered face, but her eyes were still open.

"Finally you came home, this time I was very helped. Welcome back !" With such a face, Ericsson still forced to give a smile.

"Is this the work of ghosts and demons? How insolent they are, I'll finish them off right now !" Continue the Goddess of the night who began to feel upset and angry.

" Relax! it's not them. Rather than that, can you help me out right now. I'm too weak to go to the room." Ericsson is on the limit.

Flick….

One snap of Alexia's fingers, already carrying both of them in the room.

"Well.you're really amazing !" This time the man was in pain.

"Close your eyes !" Alexia's orders are to treat Ericsson.

"Why do you, wear all eye-close events? You'll want to….." I haven't finished his words yet. Alexia managed to cut him off.

"Just close it, don't talk too much !" Exclaimed Alexia who was by his side at that moment.

"Yes. alright!" Obediently following, Ericsson immediately closed both of his eyes. When his eyes blackened because of his closed eyes. Ericsson felt something soft touch the tip of her forehead. He felt familiar with the feeling he had just felt at that moment. But he still did not understand the meaning of the feeling.  Miraculously the pain and pain, which he felt before, suddenly disappeared. This time he only felt a warm feeling enveloping his body.

"You can open your eyes now!" Alexia's voice rang out again, after a few seconds it disappeared in silence.

When he opened his eyes, Ericsson caught a glimpse of the light shining around Alexia's slowly fading body. And even more surprising, the condition of himself at that time, all wounds have healed instantly.

"Thank you, you're amazing." A bit of praise came out again from the newly healed man's mouth.

" Tell me what really happened to you?" Alexia demands a real explanation of what happened to Ericsson.

"I just met some drunk people on the street, and I'm done there being their monthly." Brief description of Ericsson.
