The Last Whiteblood's

Symbols

Jem!

A sword pierced through the chest of a Goblin until it fell to the ground. Eden pulled back his sword from the Goblin's body. He looked back through his shoulders, checking the work done by his group.

Eden's group managed to eradicate a flock of Goblins who attacked the village they occupied for duty. The bodies of the Goblins scattered on the ground and began to rot.

"Sacred Turn" Aciel purified the Goblin's corpses until they turned to ashes.

A middle-aged man came running towards them. "Thank you, Sir! Thank you for helping our village" he said, sitting on his knees before them.

"Yes" Eden responded coldly, he walked past the man. Faesa helped him stand up again.

"It's our job, sir. We will guard your village until the Goblins will not dare to come back here" Faesa said, reassuring.

"Thank you, miss, I don't know what to reply with" the man said.

"In addition to Goblins, does anyone dare to disturb your village?" ask Aciel.

The man paused for a moment before telling about the arrival of the Bandits to their village.

"They threatened us to give the crops once a month and a bag of gold coins to them or not they would bring the girls from our village"

"so yeah. Hm .. This is difficult. Eden, what do you think?" ask Faesa.

"What's? Just let them come, let's see how powerful they are" Eden replied before leaving.

Faesa and Aciel looked at each other. "So, let's go" said Aciel.

Faesa and Aciel decided to take the man to his house. They were both led by some residents because they were interested in the young men.

Eden went somewhere to be alone. He found a nice place by the lake, but he was not alone there, a little girl with a ponytail of hair was sitting there playing with her flute.

Eden silently looked at the girl, he did not want to disturb her. Suddenly, he stopped his game and turned to Eden.

"You want to take me away?" ask the girl suddenly. He looked at Eden with a look of annoyance.

"What do you mean?" ask Eden, confused but still flat.

"You're one of them, right?" ask the girl again.

"I don't understand what you're talking about" Eden replied.

"You're a bandit, right?"

"No"

"Lied"

"I'm not a bandit"

"Look, yeah .. I don't like people who are liars"

"Whatever you say"

Eden stepped out of there. The girl got up from her seat, she cleaned the rest of the grass that was stuck in her clothes, and ran to Eden.

Eden stopped and turned around. "What's wrong? Why are you approaching me?"

"Looks like you're being honest. If not a bandit, who are you?" The girl asked back.

Eden shook his head slowly and walked back, ignoring the boy.

"Hey! Why didn't you answer me? Oye! Strange man, answer my question!"

Suddenly, Eden stopped suddenly, making the girl hit herself and fall to the ground.

"Ouch!" said.

Eden turned around, looking coldly at the girl. "You freak" he walked back, this time the girl did not follow him.

***

At night, Eden sat by the fire, alone. His group was in an inn with a soft mattress and warm rooms.

Eden just sits with grass and roofed the sky. He stared at the night sky filled with stars.

On a whim, Eden let out a black fireball over his right palm. He formed the fireball into a bird. The black fire bird flew in his hand.

"Well! That's cool!"

Suddenly, the girl appeared beside him. The shocked Eden accidentally destroyed the bird, then turned into smoke.

"What are you doing here?" ask Eden.

"What am I doing here? I can do anything here" replied the girl in a pompous tone as she folded her arms around her chest.

"You'd better go home, the night is usually dangerous" Eden said.

"I'm not afraid, who do you think I am?" the answer.

"By the way, what's your name? I've never seen you around here before" the girl asked.

"Eden"

"What a cool name. I'm Alen"

Suddenly, a gray-haired wolf with red eyes and a stocky body. Alen became alert, he stood as if protecting Eden who was sitting and seemed to be indifferent to the arrival of the wolf.

"Don't worry! I'll handle it" Alen said.

The wolf snarled at him. Alen's hand slowly entered into the back pouch located behind the bottom of his back.

"Feel this!" Alen threw three knives at the wolf. The three objects hit the wolf's body, but it seems that the three knives can not stick in the wolf's body.

"What?!" Alen could not believe what he saw.

"Hardening Skin" said Eden.

"What technique is that?!" ask Alen.

"The technique commonly used by someone who studied the Science of Dorum" replied Eden.

"I've never heard of it" Alen said.

"Review, he wants to attack you" pointed at Eden casually.

Alen immediately dodged after hearing the warning from Eden. He took another knife from his pocket, Alen again threw his knife into the animal's body, but the result was the same.

"What am I supposed to do?!"

"Hardening Skin is a troublesome technique for people who are still under the Dorum Science. Usually they choose to run" replied Eden.

"Your answer doesn't help!" his yell.

Eden rose from her seat. "Against the one who mastered the Hardening Skin is indeed troublesome, there are only a few ways to be able to defeat it" Inner Eden.

When the wolf was busy fighting Alen, Eden took out a knife from the pouch located on his waist.

He threw it into the wolf's body. Just like Alen's attack, Eden's knife throw was also not effective, but that's not what he planned.

The animal snarled at Eden. Their eyes looked at each other.

Suddenly, Eden's golden eyes lit up, appearing a golden halo with a claw symbol in the center. The circle binds the wolf's body, the symbol of the claw that is in the middle of the circle out of it. The symbol turned into a sword then charged towards the wolf's body until something in its body emitted a shattering sound.

Alen was stunned to see it. The wolf's body was squeezed due to the loss of power. His eyes closed and slowly his body shrank, turning into a naked man.

On the man's head was a pair of hairy ears similar to a wolf's and he had a wolf's tail.

"A Demi-Human" said Alen.

"Yes ..." Eden took a piece of cloth and covered the man's body.

"Why did he turn into a beast like that?" ask Alen.

Eden was silent, he sat crouched down beside the man. Eden examined the man's body to look for clues. He found a symbol of a lion with a lamb horn located above his navel.

"Well, come here" call Eden.

"Don't call me a boy" he grumbled.

"You know what this is?" eden asked while pointing towards the symbol.

"I don't know what it is" Alen shook his head not knowing.

Eden was curious, he touched the symbol with his finger. Suddenly, a stream of Qube came out from that symbol. The stream is green and leads into the forest. Eden and Alen looked that way.

"We're going in?" ask Alen.

Eden was silent for a moment before answering. "No, it's too risky"

"Eeehh?! Why?"

"Didn't you hear? Too risky"

Eden checked the man's pulse. It still beats but is a bit weak. "He'll realize in a while, you take care of him"

"Why me?" ask Alen.

"Because you're here and I don't want you to follow me" Eden replied, rising to her feet.

"You crazy? I'm a girl and you want to leave me with a foreign man ... without a single piece of cloth?!" asked Alen in an increasingly raised tone.

Eden took a long breath. "Then, go home. Just leave him here, someone's gonna find him"

Eden stepped out towards the village. Alen stared at the man for a moment before catching up with Eden. After they left, the man's eyes opened and let out a green light.
