The Dark Slayer's

Chapter 12: Change

Nah! I can't die!

I refilled the rifle and pointed it at the head of the monster. With a quick movement, I pulled the trigger and the bullet from the rifle shot out loud with an echoing sound.

"I have to live!" Using all my willpower and remaining energy, I set this body up and propped it up with a rifle.

Turning around, I put this leg running as fast as possible to get away. My breath began to sting, the energy that had accumulated was also getting less and less. Really, I almost gave up on it.

The ground shook again, making me stagger again. A variety of bad blasphemies, echoed in this head because of what I was experiencing.

In one big bang, the ground shook violently making my body lift up and then fall down. This whole body felt tremendous pain. In fact, the pain made me unable to stand anymore.

"Argh ... My bones are crumbling," I groaned as I stood up.

This body is weak and powerless. Both of my arms are also unable to support the body. Although I want to leave immediately, my condition is now very unlikely to do so.

My vision began to sway, this breath was also unreasonable. "Where might I die here."

Dug-dug!

The spirit inside my body felt like it was going to be released from its container. A cringing sound made my listener distracted and unable to function anymore. My eyes began to darken until I finally could no longer see.

What is terja—

***

On a high cliff with a wide field, Zanik and Andrew were watching the fight Leon and his friends, using long-range binoculars.

"Hahaha, it seems that one person has fallen" Zanik said as he lowered his binoculars. "Do we need to intervene now?"

"I don't understand what you mean" replied Andrew who also dropped his binoculars.

Unlike Zanik who was happy to see this state, Andrew just put on a flat face with no visible emotion.

"Oh, come on," teased Zanik. "You also want to kill that big monster, right?"

"Silly." Andrew threw away the binoculars in his hand and started walking away from the cliff. "If I want to kill that weakling. I'm enough that an ugly monster is dead."

"really?" Zanik took the gun from under his shirt and pointed it at Andrew. "How sure are you about that?"

"Surely this."

The sound of gunfire echoed, the bullet coming out of Andrew's gun, darting through the right side of Zanik's head. Zanik's body became stiff, he was completely unable to move in surprise. Wrong for a bit, I must have finished earlier, Zanik thought.

"Do you understand?" asked Andrew, putting his gun back under his clothes. "Let's go back, I can't wait for the moment where the great battle between the nine clans will begin."

This guy is terrible. Zanik calmed himself down and started walking behind Andrew. He actually did not care about the nine clans fight that Andrew had said, nor the fight against monsters. What Zanik wants is just a way out of this mysterious forest.

At the same time, but in a different place. Look Miscchie who was herding a big—monster with a bull's head—from a wide field leading to a cliff. Mischie was already very upset with the place where he was now. Because, here is the place where he once faced monsters when he first met Leon.

Really, Mischie really doesn't understand why he's here. However, one thing is certain and explains it all. All this time they just go around in circles.

The grenade exploded right in the monster's stomach. And made the monster become angry and ran towards Mischie.

"Groars!"

Mischie quickly ran towards the cliff. The ground that he was currently incandescent slightly shook due to the wrath of the monster.

From the back of the grey-feathered monster, two grenades from Rias and Lize shot out and crashed into the back of the monster. The attacks from the two grenades were more powerful than the grenades thrown by Mischie. In fact, the grenade is able to make the monster a little pushed forward.

"Groars!"

The monster grew even more furious and accelerated its pace towards Mischie. Unperturbed by the monster's behavior, Mischie reactivates one of his grenades and throws it at the monster.

Suddenly, Mischie stopped his footsteps when in front of him there was a ravine. "Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

In Mischie's pocket there was only one grenade and a gun complete with bullets. An attack from a gun would definitely not be able to injure the damn monster, Mischie thought. Then, how am I supposed to lure him to fall into the abyss?

Back, two grenades exploded at the same time on the back of the grey-feathered monster. Once again, the monster was pushed and nearly fell.

"Wine! That damn monster is going to fall towards Mischie!" rias cried in panic.

"Miscchie!" Lize also shouted.

***

"Where am I?" I murmured when I looked around.

This place was like a spacious room, next to which there were several lights from the torch. The floor of this room is also flooded with water to wet some of my feet.

The illumination suddenly dimmed, the burning torches now started to go out one by one. I was facing right when this ear heard a voice.

"Who's there?"

There was a sound of water splashing. However, these eyes cannot catch the presence of something or someone.

"Get out!" I am so afraid of this situation.

A few moments later, someone's voice echoed. "Stay alive, Leon!" Slowly and full of emotion. I became more and more curious as to who the figure who said the sentence with that soft tone was.

"Show me who you are, Leon." The voice echoed again and at once, I returned to reality.

***

The cells of Leon's body are now changing. It made him a half-monster. No one knows where this is coming from, but clearly, a big change is going to happen.

As a result of these changes, Leon's skin blackened and small spots appeared there. He was still unconscious, but his body stood on its own. The clothes worn by Leon, were smashed to pieces. Now, it looks like a creature with black skin and a burly body.

Fangs came out of the mouth of the creature. Leon's consciousness is still not awake, so his body is controlled by something completely different.
