The Frost Heart

The End of the World

Mary Goldenhawk, the woman Jack treated was fighting fiercely with the 3 black creatures. It looks like the fight is unbalanced. Not on the woman's side, but creatures there is no morality.

They were repeatedly made backwards by the woman. The woman was quite skilled at playing her knife and made many scratches on the black creature. Until in the end, one by one die in the blade of the woman.

"Huh, it's finally done, too..."

The blonde-haired lady in a bloody oversized outfit breathed a sigh of relief when she could compensate for even defeating the creatures.

Mary felt herself lucky because there were only 4 four Kurokaze. One had already been run by Jack, so he only fought against those 3 creatures. But it makes Mary awkward, why come only 4 only?

"Ah, I have to find the boy." Mary remembered Jack who had run away with one of the creatures.

Mary closed her eyes to concentrate and suddenly, Mary's body shone for a moment before dimming.

"[Life Detection]"

After saying a few words, a messy line of aura appeared leading to somewhere. It was Jack's running life aura. In a principle, the energy of the human body will be radiated when doing something, such as running or walking and will make it an aura of life. The harder a human being does something, the stronger the life energy that comes out and the stronger its former life is. Mary thought that Jack would run with all his might so that the traces of Jack's life aura would be large and not quickly disappear.

Mary followed that line of life aura by running. He was in a hurry because the [Life Detection] effect was short in duration and he had already run out of energy to make that magical thing again. But he was lucky the moon helped him to see the streets. He will use his magic to create light for illumination.

"Ehm, here?" Mary arrives at the second-hand warehouse, where Jack and Kurokaze are fighting. Suddenly, a cloud blocked the moonlight and made the darkness come back.

Mary clicked her tongue. He had just gotten to his destination, instead his only irradiation disappeared. Mary snapped her fingers repeatedly. Every snap of his finger, there was a spark of light coming out. But he immediately looked disappointed. He intends to create light with magical things. But he can't, because now he's running out of energy to do it.

Forcibly, Mary walked in search with limited lighting. In her search, Mary sometimes tripped over a twig even to the point of falling. She was really angry and Mary wanted to hit something to vent her anger. But there was no target to hit other than the rough paving of the shed courtyard.

A few minutes later, the clouds blocking the moonlight began to shift and the moonlight had begun to appear. When the moonlight began to appear, Mary vaguely saw someone. A person who is sitting with one knee bent. He then approached the person, hoping that he was the one he was looking for.

The clouds that cover the moon light are shifting and the moon light is getting brighter. Mary continued to approach the man until a few steps away from him. The man's face was already a little visible and Mary had guessed. When the moon again shines perfectly bright, when also the face of the man is perfectly visible.

"You're alive, Dad?" Mary asked the man who sounded sarcastic.

"That's not the way to ask the situation, miss." Reply to that man. He's Jack with a bruised face.

"Ehm, who changed my clothes? Is that you?!" Ask the woman with a bangar.

Jack just sighed and said with a serious look at Mary, "I don't see the lace inside."

PLAKKK!!!

"Easter!!!"

A critical blow was given on Jack's cheek. Mary is furious at Jack's ignorance of his sin and his confusion. Jack's cheeks are cut because bruises become more slashed because of a blow from Mary. Jack stroked his cheek, hoping that the pain of his slap would lessen.

"How else, your clothes are soiled with blood. It could cause you new problems." Jack tried to explain his reasoning casually.

"For example?"

"Growing warts. Women usually look up, right?"

Mary then scrunched her forehead.

"You're mocking me, Dad? I'm not that easy to gnaw on that skin disease. Anyway, am I thinking about looks?"

Mary asked Jack in a waist-rigged manner. Jack was asked like, staring up and down Mary's body. Mary is quite beautiful for women of her age and also seen in the eyes of Jack, Mary is a woman of great appearance.

"Yes..." Answer Jack briefly when concluding something.

Mary exclaimed in Jack's manner. Then the situation of the two became tenuous and Mary looked around where there was one Kurokaze corpse with her mouth wide open.

His mouth seemed to be torn with a sharp object and also his body was full of scratches. It's really sad and unfortunate.

"You owe me an explanation, right?" Jack suddenly opened the conversation. "Green rays that can close your external wounds, black creatures that suddenly attack, and the call "witch" given by the creature. You have to explain..."

Mary looked at Jack and said, "I'll explain, but on one condition..."

"I've taken care of your wounds and you're asking for something else? You're really greedy. All right, it's up to you."

Then Mary began to explain what needed to be explained after Jack agreed to her offer.

"That green light is a magical technique used to heal external wounds and detoxify. Its usefulness is very small and is used for emergencies only. That black thing I called his name, Kurokaze. He is the son of the greatest witch enemy. The beings were strong in terms of numbers, but their individual strength was so weak. And lastly, why am I called a "witch"? All right, I'll introduce myself..."

Then Mary put her left hand to her right chest and raised her head, looking up.

"My name is Mary Goldenhawk, the underworld witch of the hidden land!" With a little loud, Mary introduced herself.

Seeing that, Jack pursed his forehead due to the sudden introductions and strange gestures that Jack had never seen when people introduced himself. Jack then asked, "Do you have to introduce yourself?"

"Why with an introduction like that?" Mary answered him with a question.

Jack shook his head and justified the gesture of such an introduction.

"No afdol if you're the only one who introduces yourself. I'll introduce myself too. My name is Jack Zitman, one of the scavengers in this town..."

"Roller? Isn't this town no scavenger at all?"

"Yes, indeed. Because the city has the best social security for the residents of the city. So there's no hard people here. However, some people remain difficult people for their own reasons."

"Ehm, being a tough guy? It's weird..."

"Ha ha ha, indeed. Here many are tired of being rich and expect to be a difficult person." Jack said with a crisp laugh. "Then, what is hidden land?"

Jack is curious about the hidden land mentioned by Mary.

"that's the place we're going to."

"Oh, so that's the condition you're asking for?" Jack is instantly sensitive.

"Right, I'll take you there."

"Why?"

"Of course, it's secretive-...AAAAAH!!!" In the middle of Mary talking, she suddenly shouted very loudly. He held his head like he was having a pain in his head. Seeing that, Jack panicked a little and examined Mary's body.

"What's up, Mary?"

Mary did not answer and just shouted. Suddenly the color around changed. From black color gradually become purplish color. Seeing this, Jack became confused. Jack raised his head and was shocked to see the moon.

"Why? Why is the moon pink?"

The moon then changed color to pink. This phenomenon really never happened on earth, whether on another planet. Jack was very surprised by this phenomenon.

"Have they failed?" Mary calmed down and did not scream anymore.

"Do you know what this phenomenon is?"

"Huh, free to explain. You'll be frozen when the waves are spread."

Then from the moon, a pink light came down. That's the wave Mary meant. Then, the wave spread to the city and the rest of the world.
