The Dark Slayer's

Chapter 3 part 3

Once again this body trembled and the legs stepped back to move away.

From the direction I looked, black smoke rose into the sky and the wind was so strong, it increased the flames that burned the trees.

“Run fast!” exciting Mischie.

Suddenly this right hand was pulled by Mischie to make me run with him. I quickened the pace and adjusted it to Mischie's footsteps.

Mischie kept running, his left hand clasped the sword, and his right hand pulled at me. But after I noticed again, the way Mischie ran looked like the person who was enduring the pain.

“Let go of me!” I said as I let go of Mischie's hand, and continued running.

For a moment Mischie glanced at me, then she ran.

Shortly thereafter, the air temperature became hotter, and the sun was getting stinging. Suddenly Mischie fell to the ground.

I quickly stopped my steps and turned around to help her stand up. Mischie was very lucky, because the sword he was carrying did not hit his body.

I pulled out her right hand so she could stand up, but Mischie gave up the grip.

"Don't mind me! Stay alive Leon!" he said with a stumble.

Mischie hugged his chest tightly, his wound that I had sacrificed now started bleeding again.

Right now I can leave him, but my little heart can't do it. I turned around and held Mischie on my back.

"What are you doing? Just leave me!" Mischie snapped in annoyance.

My dry back is now wet with Mischie's blood. When I started walking, this step felt heavier than the previous one.

"Tu-Down me, Leon!" Once again Mischie yelled at me.

"No way!" I answered firmly.

Mischie rebelled, she tried her hardest to get off my back. But I didn't let it succeed. Strengthen the hand grips and speed up the pace.

Unsuccessfully rebelling, Mischie finally asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

"That's because we're friends."

"Hc .. hahaha. Friends huh? You're kidding me, aren't you?"

Mischie was trying to make her tone become like a songbirds person when saying that. But that cannot fool me. Because I know, he did it to make me hate him and put him down.

"Why am I kidding now? Besides, you're not a bad person either."

"Where do you know that I'm not a bad person?"

The reason I helped her was not only because she was good or evil, but because she had the same tattoo as me. That's why I concluded that maybe he was a partner.

Suddenly this stomach hurt to make me fall to the ground.

The whole body feels pain due to a fall and overwritten by Mischie. However, before long, my back felt lighter, and then I stood back up while enduring the pain.

To my right, Mischie was holding his wound with both hands to keep the blood from coming out. From the look on his face, I could understand that he was enduring a tremendous amount of pain. However, as the flames drew closer, I thoughtlessly carried her on my back as before.

In an instant, Mischie's blood and sweat instantly soaked my back and hands. But I ignored all that and kept running to get away from the flames.

The further you run, these legs become cramping, sweat soaks all over your body, and your breath begins to wander. My steps are getting heavier and slowing down.

“Tu-Tu .. just run a-ku ...,” Mischie groans in a heavy and stammering tone.

“Haah, haah, haah ..” While breathing in, I replied, “Haah, Ma-Mana may ... I .. leave you just like that.”

“Ta-But if this seper .. ti continues, ki-we will die ...”

Not far in front of us, I could see a vast meadow. I also forced this leg to go faster.

Upon arriving at the field, this leg felt so limp that I fell down a second time. However, the effect was more severe than the previous one, because this time my face and body were injured.

Blood began to flow from my wounds and wash my clothes. It was actually impossible for me to be injured when I fell on the field, but the field I fell on was currently filled with sharp little pebbles.

Perih ... perih, very sore ....

All my wounds started to hurt and all over my body hurt.

“Argh ...,” I groaned while supporting this body with both hands.

When I tried to stand up, Mischie who was on this back immediately rolled to the right side. I stood up, then turned around and saw that the flame was spreading faster and faster to scorch the trees.

Moments later, so many teenagers, be it men or women, were running out of the burning forest. Suddenly a group of teenagers ran towards me and Mischie. They pushed me to the ground and trampled on this body.

“Argh, argh..” I groaned, covering my face with both hands so as not to be stepped on.

I rolled to the left and to the right for a while, until finally the group of people had been far away from me. I stood up, the head felt swirling, and the pain from being stepped on, spread all over the body.

I stepped up, shortening the distance with Mischie who was already dying from being trampled. When I got next to the young man, I immediately rushed to lift his body up on my back and started walking.

In fact we could have been chanting in this vast field for a while. Because the fire will definitely not be able to reach this place. However, it seems that it is a bad thing, because at the end of the field there is an abyss that stretches so far as to be endless.

Arriving at the edge of the ravine, I saw a crowd of teenagers marching to cross a suspension bridge that was about 50 meters long to cross the gorge. The reason they did this was obvious in order to survive. Because if they survive in a forest that has been burned, they will gradually die of hunger or asphyxiation due to air pollution.

Walking slowly while holding Mischie on my back, I barged into the crowd so noisily and pushed each other to walk across the bridge.

Suddenly I was knocked back by some people, to make me get out of the crowd and lose my balance and fall lying down. Even so, this back does not feel any pain, because I fell on Mischie.

Realizing that, I immediately got up to my feet and checked Mischie's situation. His body lay weak, his hands still pressed against the wound on his chest, and he became even more agonized after I had been struck.

“Hold!” I said as I lifted his body back up my back.

I know this is heartless indeed, but for the sake of survival, this is a cheap price.

I slowly set my foot towards the crowd. The teenagers still fight each other over the bridge. I ignored it all and skidded until I finally reached the edge of the bridge.

I quickly set foot on the bridge, and in an instant my mentality shrank as the bridge swayed.

Eh!? Why this!?

My brain seems to be spinning fast and very messed up. Sweat starts to pour from the scalp, and the breath gets faster. However, I strengthened my heart and continued to move this trembling leg.

Suddenly I was hit from behind by someone to make me fall. Soon the bridge shook very strongly, then the ropes used to hold on when crossing, began to sag and fall hanging.

Before I could get up, the suspension bridge became tilted and then broke off. The sound of screaming from people crossing instantly echoed within the abyss.

“No!!” I shouted as I realized this was about to fall.

My hair is goosebumps, and fear fills my mind. I frantically grabbed Mischie's right hand with my left hand and grabbed one of the bridge ropes with my right.

My palm felt very hot when grasping one of the ropes. However, I endured the pain until finally the bridge along with the people who were hanging crashed into the cliff.

When the impact occurred, my head felt so painful, and the entire body felt crumpled.

“Arhg ...,” I groaned very slowly.

Both hands feel like loose because they hold a heavy load. Then without me noticing, this hand took off the rope for me to hang on.

“Eh!?”
