The Seven Monster Spirit

Chapter 14 - The Loss of Valuable Things

The monster saw the people in front of him as food, the feeling of hunger was increasingly felt but even though the food was in sight, the monster would rather kill all its prey and eat them all at once than eat them one by one.

"Graauuuggghh" the monster roars and Yulo and Ronny are terrified, Jun is the same but inside he tries to fight the fear, while the adults have overcome their fear. Tomas carried the children away, although he heard the roar, he did not turn his head back and kept trying to get away from the origin of the sound.

The monster starts to run, Jun runs forward to stop the creature, but the creature is too fast, Jun who wanted to shake his sword instead cut off the wind and the creature also carried out an attack that caused the leg of the jun to be injured so that the man fell down. Passing through Jun, it was now Gorgus who confronted him but the monster's tail cut off Gorgus' stomach and made its contents come out. Grek also tried to hold him back but the old man could not, as an arrow formed from where began to appear on the monster's back, grek's attention was distracted and did not see a tail as sharp as a knife pointed at his neck and kept the man's head and body apart.

What remained now was only Yulo and Ronny, the two of them were as much as possible to block the monster but not the physical attacks that came but the magic arrows that came, since the two men had never fought a monster this strong, so they had no experience. The two magic arrows that shot through the bodies of the two of them and caused them to instantly die without being able to dodge or fend off the attacks.

The monster can take out 5 arrows, 4 arrows have been stuck in the body of Yulo and Ronny with 2 arrows each and the remaining arrows chasing the 3 people who fled, and they are still there, because Tomas told Ryan and Lyra not to look behind them so they did not realize the magic arrow that was sliding, and make the arrow target pushed forward so that it makes the person die instantly with the body pierced by a magic arrow.

"RJRIM!!"

Tomas was stunned to see Ryan stabbed and died instantly, while Lyra Shouted and cried even louder. Jun who heard Lyra's cry turned his head but his legs could not be moved so he could not do anything about it.

Tomas continued to try to bring his son running away from the monster but before the man realized, a gaping hole in his body with a sharp object stuck.

"Dad why hinting" Lyra had not yet finished her sentence she already knew the answer to the question she was about to ask.

"DAD" cried Lyra

"La-run" Tomas said that while coughing up blood.

The tail that was stuck in Tomas' body drew Tomas into the air, and when the man's body was on top, the man's, the monster pulled its tail and made a horizontal slash that made Tomas' body split in half and made all the contents inside fall like rain on his son. Now that Lyra's feelings fell into despair she saw her friend and sister die before her, and now her father had to die, but the monster in front of her thought of nothing but food. The monster wagged its tail so that Lyra slammed into one of the houses and what happened next was a magic arrow that slid into the girl's body and made her stick to the wall behind her.

Now the last prey, the monster kept it at the Last moment in order to torture him. The blade-like tail prepared to stab Jun's body but as the attack slid a black sword with a white line deflecting the tail.

"You okay?" Hazel says that but her feelings are now being tempered to see the villagers killed by the monster.

"Uncle Hazel" Jun who was weakening saw the light of hope.

Hazel with Vrodast's sword in her hand looked at the monster with a sharp gaze, and the monster looked at Hazel with pleasure because there was a person stronger than Jun.

Hazel attacks first by slashing at her opponent, but the monster moves so quickly, she easily dodges all of Hazel's attacks. Although his Dastanis sword had the ability of a light slash but because of the wound he received on the last hunt, and resulted in the destruction of the mana core on him, it was the result of the damage to him, now he could not use magic and the full capabilities of Vrodast could not get out.

The fight is getting one-sided, only armed with physical abilities, Hazel has trouble keeping up with the movements of the creatures she is fighting. The moment the man slashed out, the monster parried him using its sharp tail. The fight continues with the sword slash from Hazel and the tail attack from the monster, the monster is not using its arrow magic right now, as Hazel is fighting at close range so the monster is doing the same.

In the middle of the fight Hazel almost fell because her stomach hurt, but the man managed to overcome it, because of that, Hazel retreated backwards to keep her distance from her opponent. The monster realized that the opponent he was fighting was indeed strong but now his opponent was weakening, so if he did not end it immediately, this fight would end a long time ago.

Centering the Mana on its back and forming an arrow, the monster was Preparing to launch its attack.

"Uncle him will cast magic" Jun recalled to Hazel.

Hearing the warning that Hazel was preparing to cut off the impending attack, 5 magic arrows were preparing to slide, Hazel noticed which way the attack was about to land, and the other was about to hit, and when he realized that the attack was not on him but on the man behind him, Hazel stood in front of Jun to protect him.

the first attack slashed, Hazel slashed at him easily but the second and third attacks were so fast that it cut off Hazel's left arm and made her hand fall to the ground, the fourth and fifth attacks managed to kill the person Hazel was protecting.

Hazel used to have a family but since she couldn't save them, Hazel lives like a zombie and walks without direction and purpose. The first time he came to this village, there was nothing he wanted and no purpose he wanted to achieve, but over time, Hazel began to be able to regard the people of this village as his new family. Seeing his family die there was no feeling other than anger and sadness, The man was annoyed to himself for not being able to protect his family but in his heart there was gratitude for maybe one person from this village could survive.

...----------------...

"Haaahs... It seems to be enough, I hope I'm not late" Neron said as he rubbed the sweat on his forehead.

A monster with a lot of feathers on its body and fangs that point forward with short legs lying in front of Neron, there were 3 of them, because this monster Neron needed, he said, so now the work is done and it's time to go back.

Putting the monsters in a sack, Neron carried them back to the village.

"The smell of wood is burning" Neron said after smelling an odor.

As Neron got closer to the village, the boy felt disbelief in what was happening. His eyes widened to see the thing in front of him, the houses burned, blood covered the ground with the citizens lying on it. Neron leaves his quarry and walks down the corpses in search of Hazel and her friends. Neron was surprised to see the person he knew dead with a long shining object. 'Magic, who did it' that's what Neron thought. Gobu, Shla, Uncle Henry they're all dead, Neron just walks past them because he knows there's nothing he can do. Every time Neron walked the many corpses he passed, some had no head, some were split into two and some were pierced with magic.

"What's really going on?"

Hearing that voice, Hazel who was in a weakened state looked up slightly at the origin of the voice, as she knew the person speaking was Neron her heart felt grateful and scared.

"You shouldn't have come back, ............I can't keep my word, I can't protect this village, I'm sorry." Hazel said that to the dead villagers. "And Neron, I can't keep you company anymore, I'm sorry. I'm a bad old man but at least take this thing with you, I'm sure this sword will be very useful...... uhuk" after saying that Hazel coughed up blood.

"Don't talk too much about Hazel, do you have that healing paper again?" neron asked, Seeing that Hazel's situation was getting worse, Neron tried to help her.

"That's useless, I've reached my limit" Hazel said.

"Neron for the last time can you call me Dad?"

Neron, now filled with strange feelings, tries to fulfill Hazel's last request.

"Dad"

It was an ordinary word but for Hazel to hear it from Neron made her happy. Using Hazel's remaining hand stroking Neron's head gently, it made Neron feel a little happy but the feeling of sadness was still Neron could feel.

"And also stay alive Neron and then make your dream come true, this is my last wish"

"of course, I'll do it"

"Thank you"

Along with the last word Hazel said, The man's life has now left his place.

"ksksksksksksksksks" Neron heard a voice, he knew that the origin of the sound was the cause of the destruction of this village, Neron turned to look at the shape of the creature, he said, a dark creature with four legs and a long tail swinging about, the monster observed Neron.

Neron turned to fight the creature and quickly covered Neron's body with pitch-black scales that formed an armour, his blue eyes turned golden and his white hair turned purplish-black making the human child look like a combination between a human and a monster.

The aura that Neron released was very strong making the Monster feel a little afraid, but now there was no place for the monster to escape, so all the monster could do now was to attack first.

The monster ran quickly and Neron remained silent in place, the monster jumped up and would use its claws to attack Neron but the opposite happened, The claw that grew in Neron's hand pierced through the body of the monster that was about to attack him and not only did the black wave that came out in his hand make the monster disappear instantly, the fight ended with a single strike.

Facing the dark night sky, Neron won the fight but there was no joy in his heart, only a strange feeling that he did not know about.

Walking towards Hazel, Neron held the sword that Hazel had released.

"Thank you for everything, Dad" Taking the sword Hazel gave him, before long the sword disappeared, it was Neron's hidden power that was space magic.

The village was destroyed so Neron had to leave.

"Dor's....Dor"

The sound of gunfire was directed at Neron but no one managed to hit him.

"The Beast's siege"

the cavalry quickly ran towards Neron and the front man of the army fired at him.

Neron's body as if being shocked by something made him lose consciousness, not because of an attack from the outside but something from the inside. There was something controlling him and now he was running towards the forest, to avoid the pursuit of the soldiers, Neron still ran despite the dark conditions.

'Just get here, yeah'

As a result of the powerful force, Neron's body collapsed in the forest.

The peaceful life he lived now was over. His friends, family, and where he came home were gone but he had to survive.
