The Strange Life I Live

Ritualized

Zen was currently still standing and was not affected by what was going on where he stood, but not by the few people around him. They began to wriggle in pain, as something began to suck their life force bit by bit.

“Sial what should I do?” murmured Zen who panicked saw the incident.

With the incident that arrived – this time, Zen did not know what to do. But as much as possible he calmed down and pulled out his smartphone and aimed right at Alice, who was currently writhing in pain.

“Patience, I will do something” said Zen, who started checking something from within his Smartphones.

Zen can finally see some of the information listed on his smartphone and immediately find a way to overcome the events that are being experienced by people – people around him.

On the other hand, Alice was currently feeling a great pain, as it felt as if something was being sucked out from within her body. With blood coming out of his mouth, he tried to fight back, but his efforts failed.

What is happening right now, caused by the magic circle that arrived – just appeared while he was resting and chatting with Zen. I don't know what happened, but when the magic circle appeared, they immediately became as much pain as they were today.

With the remaining – remaining strength, Alice tried to survive until – arrived the magic that binds her instantly disappeared and made her escape from the tribulation.

“Hahh... Huhh... Hahh...” a feeling of relief could finally be felt by Alice, after finally the magic that bound her earlier was completely detached from her.

“You're okay – what?” ask a man who is Zen and directly check on Alice's current state.

“Z-Zen?” said Alice who saw someone approaching her.

Seeing that there was blood coming out of Alice's mouth, Zen immediately took out the Healing Potion and gave it to Alice. Of course Zen helps Alice to drink it, because Alice's body is very weak.

Finished caring for Alice, Zen headed straight for the adventurer party that was also affected by the magic that was going on and started giving them healing potions one by one to heal them.

“What do you do to release this magic trap Zen?” ask Bennard.

“I made a barrier of light elements, to reject all negative status that strikes us” Zen said.

The superiority of the barrier made by Zen using its light element, it can dispel all attacks including negative energy that attacks it.

“Wait if this magic is still going on, will not the other villagers experience the same” said Alice who is currently fully recovered.

“Can you enlarge your barrier to Zen?” ask Bennard.

“I can't, but I can use the means of the barrier that shuts this village and turns it into my own light barrier” said Zen.

“Alright, then we go directly to the barrier that locked this village” said Alice, and replied a nod by Bennard, Sif, Ari, Lexi and Zen.

The six of them began to move from that place, and began to drive towards the outskirts of the village where they wanted to go towards the barrier that locked this village.

“Stay close to each other, I can't make my barrier bigger” said Zen, as they ran with the barrier from Zen still protecting them from the ongoing magic of this Village.

On the other hand, the person doing all this is focusing on starting his ritual on an altar, on a house located right in the middle of this Pina Village. He could feel all the life force of the villagers being sucked in bit by bit and gathered in an orb in front of him.

But while still focused on doing the ritual, his men who were in that place felt something, because he felt the barrier he made to isolate this village, as if – would start to weaken.

“What happened?” ask the man who performed the ritual, having found his men feeling uneasy at this moment.

“I feel someone wants to take over barierku” said the subordinate.

“Cancel your barrier skill, after all the residents can not escape anymore” said the man who was still sitting on the altar while paying attention to the ritual he was doing.

“Alright mr. messenger” reply.

But just as he was about to undo his magic, he began to sense that it could not be undone, as someone was trying to take over his skill using a strange magic.

“Keep your barrier from being taken over completely, and the rest of you quickly go kill those annoying cockroaches” he shouted to his other subordinates.

The three remaining people and the village chief who had betrayed his village, finally started to leave after getting an order and left the man who was called the messenger, along with his subordinates who made the village barier diarea ritual.

“Sial... This barrier maker realized I was starting to take over his barier” said Zen who was still with full concentration wanted to take over the dark barrier in front of him.

Zen could feel the intense defense from the owner of the barrier that was locking this village, and tried to fight against his skill that would try to take over his barrier.

It could be seen that the black barrier slowly turned transparent, because Zen tried to turn the barrier into his own slowly, although the defense of the owner of this barrier is very strong.

“Give me where the potion is again!” shouted Zen.

Alice, who heard that, immediately drank a bottle of mana potion directly into Zen's mouth, because Zen's hand focused on touching the black barrier in front of him.

Zen's results were already beginning to be seen, About 30% of the barier in front of him was already his, and made some of the villagers began to feel that the magic that ensnared them began to reduce their intensity. But Zen's struggle was not over, for four great attacks were aimed squarely at him.

“KABOOM”

The sound of a huge explosion rang out in that place, but as the smoke disappeared, a man wearing a shield blocked the attack that came towards Zen and protected him.

“You two focus on taking over this barrier, let the four of us hold back the trash that comes to this place” said Bennard.

Ari, Sif, Lexi and Bennard had already stood in front of Zen and Alice to protect them from the attacks of the four people who had just arrived at this place, intending to undo what they were doing.

“Give up, what are you doing in vain - sia” shouted the man who is the village head from this village, to the adventurer party who was protecting Zen and Alice.

“Hm... I thought the Village Chief had conspired with the heresies” said Bennard.

“They offered me immortality and strength, so why should I reject him” said the village chief who felt innocent of his deeds.

“Really, but do you want to look like the undead man?” bennard said later.

“Why should ta-”

“Enough!” shouted one of the men next to the village chief who was still arguing with Bennard, and stopped his chatter.

“Do you know, they are trying to buy time” the man said back.

“Cih...my strategy turned out to fail” muttered Bennard.

“Prepared to fight” Bennard later told his – party colleagues.

Four adventurers against four heresies, it will finally begin. Bennard and his colleagues are currently trying as much as possible to survive their attacks, because they want to buy time to make Zen can complete the task.

“Focus to survive, and stay alert to the circumstances around” Bennard told his – colleagues.

The first attack came from one of the robed men towards the four of them, and made Bennard immediately come forward and resist the attack. The other three men finally began to attack, but Lexi, Ari and Sif also fought off the incoming attack.

By looking at the fight that was happening behind him, Zen with extremely high focus began to accelerate his skill, and was still assisted by Alice to give him the mana potion and also hold the enemy if they approached him.

“A little more...”.
