THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 4: THE GOLDEN MOUNTAIN

Myro woke up in the morning before sunrise due to the sound of a spear swing in the front field of the house. He walked and saw through the open door that Mili was busy practicing swinging his spear in the empty field in front of Myro's house.

Despite having seen Mili's insane speed wound healing ability since yesterday, Myro was still surprised to learn Mili was able to swing such a heavy spear with only 1 night. Whereas if it is a normal person, they need 1 week before being able to walk.

Mili who was training seemed to be aware of Myro's arrival, he put his spear to the ground while wiping off the sweat on his face and smiled kindly "Sorry, did the exercise I did wake you up?".

Myro waved his hand "No problem, I also often get up this early to go to the fields, I will prepare breakfast".

Without waiting for Mili's reply, Myro walked into the kitchen.

Hearing breakfast being prepared, Mili stopped practicing. He came to the main room wide enough that last night Myro slept far enough away from Mili.

Mili was sitting in the middle of the room and her sweat kept falling, she said to Myro who was busy preparing breakfast "I'll be going later in the afternoon, he said, after all, my wounds have healed and there is no problem to fight or run from the enemy. Not to mention as you said before, I was pursued by enemies who if they found out you helped me, your peaceful life would be ruined. So I'll leave as soon as I can while they're unconscious".

"Good" said Myro, who handed Mili another bowl of porridge for breakfast, "The sooner you go, the safer I will be".

"You remain cold" said Mili smiling unconcernedly "However, are you sure not to join the fight of the spirits, Myro? You know, a lot of people dream of going into a spirit fight and going to the Golden Mountain. Opportunity is before your eyes, the opportunity that many people dream of".

"I told you, a peaceful life is what I need" said Myro who continued to eat his porridge without being affected by Mili's persuasion.

"You may not know yet what the battle of the spirits and the Golden Mountain means that keeps you from resisting, but if you know the true meaning and reason for us, you might regret your decision today! As your friend, I will tell you the meaning of our battle of the spirits heading towards the Golden Mountain, do not regret the decision you have made" Mili said "Whoever the spirit that manages to defeat all the spirits then gets to the Golden Mountain, the spirit and its master will be given 1 chance to say their hope, after which the hope that they say will definitely come true! It was the meaning of the war of the spirits, all the spirits and people fighting each other to make their dreams come true!".

Myro who from the beginning was unaffected this time stopped the movement of his spoon, he stared at Mili full of curiosity "All hope will be realized? How to bring the dead back to life? If he succeeds in defeating all spirits and reaches the Golden Mountain, the winner can bring to life even the dead?".

"Of course you can, even people who have died thousands of years ago, they can appear in the present time" Mili said of the spirit "The strongest force, repeating time, reviving the dead, bringing to life the dead, all of that can happen as long as you calm down the fight of 1000 spirits and then set off towards the Golden Mountain! Hows it? Are you interested now, Myro?".

Myro was silent for a while before shaking his head "Everything you say sounds like a false dream, a mere lie! How can I trust him? Besides, I don't know where you know that information from".

Mili nodded "You're right, everyone who heard about the 1000 Spirit Battle the first time must have refused to believe it as well, but let me tell you why I believe that the prize winner of this fight is that my own existence here is something that shouldn't work. Be it me or any other spirit, we are not of this age, but all of us are of another age! It might be said, we are the ones who should have been dead long ago. Do you now regret refusing my invitation to become my master? You may not be interested in money and power, but everyone has something else that interests them. Based on the question you asked earlier, are you interested in bringing to life the dead, Myro?".

Looking at Mili with a flat face, Myro shook his head "I still do not believe in either any hope that comes true as well as you spirits from other ages. After you finish eating, get out of here, the dead will never live again I will not be fooled by the stupid persuasion you gave me. I'll go to the fields, we'll never see each other again from now on, take care of yourself".

According to him, the meeting with Mili was only an incident in his life and would not have any impact because he planned to assume they had never met before, therefore Myro rushed to the fields.

Mili looked at the back of Myro's body before muttering "In the end he refused to believe, after all it was hard to believe in such an impossible thing. But no matter what happens, I still owe him my life. As long as I win the Battle of 1000 spirits, I will repay the kindness he gave me".

.....

Today Myro works in the fields as normal, although he met Mili yesterday and helped her avoid death, but Myro's attitude did not change at all so that the people in the field did not realize any peculiarity of Myro.

Myro worked in the fields, ate lunch, then stopped after the day reached afternoon. He cleaned his feet filled with mud, after which he walked towards his house while carrying his farming equipment.

In the middle of the road, Myro looked towards the forest on the right side of the road gloomily as he found some human footprints there.

Although the footprints looked quite thin, it made Myro even grim as the barely visible footprints indicated that the enemy was an expert, at least they were not residents but soldiers who had often moved quickly in the forest and hunted others.

Thinking for a while, Myro shook his head "Even if he gets caught though, I have nothing to do with it. From the footprints here, it seems that they are heading towards the port of Lamore which is a few kilometers from here, I hope he is lucky to escape from the pursuit of the enemy".

Myro who finished thinking began to walk again towards his home, he refused to continue to be drawn into the problems owned by Mili.

Upon arriving at his house, Myro opened the door to find an empty house.

Though Myro lived alone for many years while Mili only came 1 day, but Myro felt a little empty which surprised him.

Myro shook his head stubbornly "I think too much, just living peacefully is the best".

Trying to stop thinking about this matter, Myro planned to make a porridge to eat.

But Myro's steps stopped and his eyes focused on 1 side, which was in the corner of the room there was a spear covered by a gray cloth and a bow with 50 arrows.
