"Aarggh!!!"
[Silent]
Hearing that disgusting human scream, I decided to activate [Silent] magic, magic without elents.
"Even if you're dead, you're still troubleso."
I then squatted down and looked at the head that was still screaming.
"Are you in pain?"
Even though I asked, it seed like the head couldn't process thoughts anymore and only processed pain.
"Die in agony."
I wanted to make this person suffer more but it seed like I was running out of ti, if I stalled any longer I would be found by Kate, and I would also be late for my own birthday party.
I then stood up and put my foot on that head and used magic.
[Ice Step]
[Fire Step]
By combining fire and ice into my foot, I then stepped on that foot and ended the story of the slave market leader.
"..."
Calmly, I released my [Silent] magic and went to a place.
"You guys can co out, I've defeated that bad guy."
The mont I said that, children's heads popped out of a barrel.
They looked to the right and then to the left to find out, but after realizing that it was just . They imdiately cald down.
After that, the children started to co out of their hiding places.
"One, two... Seven... Wait, there's one missing."
Just as I was becoming panicked, one of the kids raised his hand.
"If you're looking for Karie, she's still there."
The boy then pointed to the barrel.
I approached the barrel and saw a girl who seed to be cowering in fear.
As I touched the girl's shoulder, the girl gasped and then freaked out as if she was about to be hit.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll never run away again, please don't hit again..."
Seeing that, I imdiately realized what that bastard was doing.
At that mont, seeing the girl's terrified trembling body, I unconsciously hugged her.
"Eh?"
The girl looked surprised by my hug, I then started giving warm words to the girl and all the children here.
"Take it easy, I've finished off everyone who hurt you. So you can rest easy, no one will ever hurt you again. You deserve freedom."
When the children were first brought by the girl nad Esie, they thought that their day of being sold was near.
At that ti, the children's eyes had no desire to live. They already knew what would happen to them in the future, so would beco illegal experints, so would beco disabled due to soone's satisfaction, so would have their organs removed.
They are sure that their future is dood.
But when they were brought out, they were confused even though they were told they were being released. They were still unsure of the situation, were they really free?
Then at the appearance of the slave market owner, the children were sure that they were not free and then the person they thought was terrible took them against the slave market owner.
Even after that person defeated the slave market owner, they still couldn't believe it until that person hugged the girl nad Karie.
It was then that the person's warm words made them realize that they were truly free. When they realized that, their tears couldn't stop coming out.
And the person calmly waited for them to stop crying.
(How long will you cry?)
It's been a few minutes since the children started crying. I originally let them cry because they had gone through a difficult thing but it would be dangerous if we were still here.
I even felt like I felt soone looking at , but it seed to be just a feeling because suddenly that existence disappeared.
After that I managed to put the children into Umbra Vitae headquarters safely.
"Is the boss going to leave right away?"
"Yes."
Just then suddenly the girl I hugged earlier ca over to and hugged .
"Thank you..."
With that small voice, the girl shyly walked away.
Seeing that I could only smile, so I stepped outside.
And at that mont there suddenly ca a voice that was confusing whether it ca from a woman or a man.
"So you're the hero of darkness that people always talk about?"
At that mont, I felt trendous goosebumps at the appearance of a mysterious creature.
I turned around and saw a creature that I couldn't recognize as if the existence of that creature was sothing absurd.
Despite feeling scared, I stood in front of the children to protect them.
"..."
(Take it easy, you don't need to worry, I'm not an evil entity that will hurt you.)
The entity then started transmitting the entity's thoughts to my brain.
Then the entity smiled a little.
"But I'm not a good entity either."
Then the entity's hand touched my heart, that's right, its hand penetrated my body and directly held my heart.
(What?)
I could only be surprised by what happened.
(I ca here to collect the paynt that I should have gotten.)
Then instantly, my body felt very hot and I imdiately fell down, at that mont, my mask also fell down.
Even so, it seems that the children cannot see my face at this ti, even if the entity sees my face. It didn't seem like the entity was surprised and there wasn't any notification from the system.
As I was confused, my hot body turned into a very strong pain.
"Gakh..."
At that mont, I vomited a red-colored liquid.
Yes, my own blood. I vomited blood.
"What?"
I stared at the blood coming out of my mouth in confusion. Why did I vomit blood? Thoughts like that filled my mind.
Then I started to feel weak and my vision beca blurry as if my soul was being absorbed.
(Thank you for the delicious al just now, what a delicious soul.)
The entity sounded very happy when it said that.
(What did you do to ?)
With blurred vision, I asked the entity very cautiously.
(I just took the fee you promised .)
(Fee? What fee? I don't know you...)
(It's true that you don't know in this life. Well, what can I say since 'He' sealed your mory. I don't care about you and The Heaven's quarrel either since I'm an entity that's always neutral.)
(Life? What exactly are you talking about.)
(I don't know? I wonder why I'm talking about this, too. Maybe I was just bored by your boring story so I ca down to this world to directly spice up the story.)
The entity's talk is getting harder and harder for to understand, life? What is an episode?
Just as I was getting confused, the entity started speaking using a voice again.
"Are you alright, sir?"
(Huh?)
I was confused by the changes that happened to the entity, as if the entity was acting, no, this was really acting. But for what?
"No, I'm fine."
(What? Why is my mouth talking to itself.)
"But you just vomited blood."
"It's okay, that's normal."
"Common?"
"Yes, actually I have a history of illness."
"Disease?"
(What! Why am I saying that! Stop it!)
Even if I thought to stop talking, my mouth and expression kept saying nothing else.
(Damn it, what's really going on.)
"Yes, a mysterious disease where my body becos very weak and my life becos very short."
"Poor you."
"It's okay, I've accepted that fate. Although I have a short ti, I want to spend this ti well."
"Is that why you beca a hero of darkness?"
"That's so."
"Then why did you hide your identity? Wouldn't it be better to reveal your identity?"
"No, because I want to create a hero that will continue to live long even if I die, by passing down this mask, the hero of darkness will always live."
"Is that why you're doing this?"
"Yes, that's my biggest reason. But the truth is I just don't want others to know what I did."
"Why? Is it a bad right to get caught?"
"Well, I have a mission to do. Besides, I have to make my fiancé hate .
"Fiancé? Do you have a fiancee?"
"Yes, a beautiful but troubleso fiancée."
(...)
For so reason I started to feel embarrassed by this conversation.
"Then why do you want to make your fiancé hate you?"
"Didn't I tell you that I have a short lifespan. I just don't want to give that girl bad mories. I want her to be happy."
"I see..."
(This way, the story will get more interesting.)
The entity was then seen smiling as it fed its thoughts into my brain.
(Give back my body, what did you do to it!)
(I'm just making you speak the truth.)
(Huh? Don't joke, I wouldn't say such a thing.)
(That's why I said. .... No, I'm right. It's not like you.)
Even so it seems that the entity still hasn't returned my body.
"Ouch, I should get going. Are you really okay."
"Yes, I'm fine. You can go, no need to worry about ."
"...May fortune bless your path, Loki."
Then the entity left, and at that mont I was finally able to actually control my mouth again.
(What the hell was that? What were you guys thinking Nifl? Muspel?)
When I asked, Nifl and Muspel did not answer.
(Are they asleep?)
After confirming that they were asleep, I looked up at the sky.
(What exactly just now?)
Previous life? What does episode 1 an?
Then what was also ant by what the entity said just now.
Also, who is Loki? What did that entity an to ?
Although there are many questions, I feel confident that one day I will find the answers to these questions.
