The Legendary Sword Heir

The Challenge for Tatsuya

The atmosphere outside that was quite chaotic, now it sounded lonely. Tatsuya still continued to keep the little boy in a very safe place. Fortunately his whereabouts are completely unknown to the monster, the right choice to hide underground, despite being a dumping ground.

Tatsuya opened the lid of the place and opened it slowly. He looked around the place, it was already night time and Tatsuya came straight out from his hiding place. He looked around and made sure everything was okay.

"Wait here first, I'll look around!" tatsuya Pinta.

The boy with her nodded his head. Tatsuya immediately went to look outside the bridge. Seen the city has been ravaged, a lot of corpses are victims of the cruelty of the monsters that came out of nowhere.

Feeling safe, Tatsuya went straight back under the bridge and pulled out the child he had brought.

"You okay? Is anyone sick?" tatsuya asked, because the boy looked in pain.

"No, I'm fine. Where's mama?" The boy asked his mother again.

"I'm not sure, however, hopefully we can find a safe place." Tatsuya gave her hope.

"I heard from Mama, if I'm in danger, or if there's an emergency, I have to go west to Arkansas. Does your sister know that place?" The little boy seemed to know something Tatsuya was looking for.

"Oh? Is that so? Waita minute..."

Tatsuya took the map and searched the area the little boy was referring to, he sorted the place and looked west. The border of Arkansas with Meiras.

"Ah, there may have been an emergency shelter there already" Tatsuya murmured as he looked at the map and at the border of Arkansas and Meiras.

"Are we safe?" ask the boy who seems hopeless.

Tatsuya stuffed the map into the bag and looked at the boy. He did not have the heart with the little boy, at his immature age, he even had to feel a sense of loss. Just like Tatsuya.

"We're going west, there's probably an emergency shelter there. You're going with me?" ask Tatsuya.

The boy nodded his head, as if confused as to where to go.

Tatsuya and the boy went west, passing through some dead bodies. Some lost several organs, some were no longer intact parts of his body. A fishy smell spread throughout the city. The city of Arkansas, which was crowded and full of immigrants, is now dark and quiet. Often the two men stumbled over parts of the body that were not intact.

The atmosphere in the city became very gripping, Tatsuya was constantly worried and felt threatened, he only relied on the torch he found on the road, besides that he only relied on his luck.

"Is it far away?" ask the little boy.

"We continue to walk west, over time the bodies are also getting fewer here, it seems like it is safe here" concluded Tatsuya.

Until a while later, there was a gate made of wood, and on the left right there was a tower containing guards.

Seeing the arrival of Tatsuya and the little boy, the guards immediately went downstairs and opened the door.

"Who are you!" ask one of the guards in a loud voice.

"We're residents of Arkansas!" tatsuya shouted as he continued to walk towards the gate and held the little boy's hand with a hand filled with sweat.

Tatsuya was terrified if he was not accepted there, considering that he was often ostracized and not accepted anywhere.

The gate was wide open and there were several guards coming out, and several people wearing armor approached towards Tatsuya. He was astonished by the man.

DEG!

The boy was immediately taken inside while staring at Tatsuya, he tried to smile and said to the little man that he was fine.

"But he saved me" complained the little boy.

The man in armor immediately looked towards Tatsuya and approached him.

"I've heard rumors about you a lot. Are you sure you'll be welcome if you get in here? Everyone in here is mostly from Arkansas." The man in armor warned Tatsuya early.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anywhere else to take shelter." Tatsuya was confused what else to say.

As they were seriously talking, suddenly one of the guards shouted.

"There's monsters!"

Tatsuya looked directly behind. He saw a monster like a goblin and was small in size, unlike the monster he had seen earlier this afternoon.

"If you really want to go in and feel useful in there...." The man pulled the sword from his scabbard and threw it towards Tatsuya. "Kill him for us" the man continued.

Tatsuya was immediately shocked instead of playing, this was the first time he held a sword this good. Tatsuya immediately picked up the sword and turned around. His body trembled, his hands were sweaty, he saw the monster staring at Tatsuya with a gaze that wanted to devour Tatsuya.

"Come on, he's just a little monster!" Tatsuya tried to convince himself first.

The green goblin galloped and jumped towards Tatsuya. Quickly, Tatsuya immediately dodged to the back of the goblin and was a little nervous. He continuously dodged the goblin's attack and saw the monster's movement.

"A fast and agile movement" Tatsuya's inner.

Over time, he could understand the goblin's movements, the easier it was to avoid the monster.

THE TANG!

The sword that Tatsuya and the goblin's dagger were carrying, Tatsuya had now increasingly understood the goblin's movements and resistance.

"Ughh! My body gets tired easily!" tatsuya.

The goblin attack was getting faster and their fight became fierce, while the guards and men in armor did not help at all, even though they were fully armed and could clearly help Tatsuya.

"Yeahahah!"

ZRAASH!

Tatsuya managed to scratch the goblin's arm and pushed the Goblin away. Tatsuya breathed for a moment and looked towards the goblin. Instead of weakening as Tatsuya managed to attack him, the goblin was even more wrathful. The goblin turned red and the surface of his skin hardened even more, Tatsuya was clearly instantly frightened to see it..

The goblin immediately ran very fast and attacked Tatsuya towards his heart.

"YES!"

JLB!
