Chapter 21

You would normally expect me to jump on him from behind. And stab him in the back or just decapitate him.

But I am a bit of muscle brain. I believe in muscles though I am not muscular. I have killed a bear. I am confident in my strength.

I have knowledge of anime and manga. So I can expect him to be using some kind of magic.

So the question is, is he using it already or will he use it after spotting me?

I have two options at hand. Either observe him further and make a move or just jump on him.

He is at a prime spot. I can try out my wrestling moves on him now.

After defeating the bear, I trained my mind even more. But, I also trained my fighting style.

I don't use any special martial arts. It is pure wrestling. With a bit of pro-wrestling mixed in.

I always wanted to try out a move. The face plant.

And I start running. I dash towards him. He is 10 meters away from me. It'll take about 1 second before I reach him at my current speed.

I put strength in my hand and grab the back of his head. Using my momentum, I jump and pull him towards the ground. He is facing the ground. He lost his balance and started falling down.

I then slammed his head on the ground. The ground below is hard. His face connected with the ground.

I felt no resistance from him.

After getting up, I look at him. And the result is disastrous.

His head is squashed. Blood was flowing and there was blood splattered everywhere.

He wasn't moving. His red hair was the same as blood. Everything was dyed red.

But I touch him to confirm. His heart isn't beating. His breathing has stopped.

His temperature is dropping. I roll him over.

His face is totally messed up. His handsome face is now squashed. Only red squash was there.

His face bone was exposed and teeth were crushed to pieces.

Even I feel sorry for him.

I put my hands together and pray. But what should I do with the body?

Burying it would be a hassle. But first, I have to meet that princess.

I turn around to call her but I see her coming this way.

She is walking slowly. Is she shivering? I can see her shaking like she is scared of someone.

When she finally reached me, I take a good look.

She is scared. Her face is pale. She is looking at me and the corpse alternately.

"What should I do with his body?"

I ask her. But she is still looking at me, all pale and scared. I guess she got scared.

"Are you scared?"

"I….. I…..am…not scared." (Fay)

She squeezed out her voice. She was forcing her like her voice won't come out. It was extremely meek tone she used.

"I see."

She totally is scared of me. But anyway, she probably won't betray me after this, I think?

"So what should I do?"

I ask her again. But she is breathing heavily. I see her color returning. Maybe, she is calming down.

"Isn't it fine….to leave it as it is?" (Fay)

"No. I should do something. I don't like killing people. Yet I had to. So I have to do something as their last rite."

I don't actually believe in god and stuff. But throwing away a dead body is kind of evil.

"Then, I will burn it."

The least I can do for this dude is to burn his body so his ashes may scatter around the world.

I take the gun out. Not take it out but call it out. It came almost instantly. It is still the same as always.

I point at the body and shoot. The white ball envelopes the body and it soon disappeared.

So not even ashes remain if you get hit by that. I was about to look at Fay who was standing behind me but I heard something.

(You have got 100 energy.)

Again that inorganic voice that I heard before. This time it is energy.

I don't feel any different. But I check the spirit gun for more info. I can now check the status with my eyes closed.

It got more shots than before. Maybe killing that guy gave me some extra.

"Shall we go for the next one?" I turn back ask her.

But I don't see her. Where did she go?

When I was looking for her, I found her on the ground. She had fainted.

"Ahahaha….." I can do nothing but laugh dryly.

Even the alien princess fainted after watching me fight.

(You have met the conditions. Now energy can be harvested.)

That voice informed me. And a menu came up in front of me.

(Will you harvest 10000 energy?

-Yes -No.)

I got a choice. Should I do it?

(Also, if you don't, the spirits will become wraiths and haunt this planet. The dead may resurrect and become zombies.)

The voice is now informing me about these.

No choice but to take it.

I press yes and my body glowed for a second.

I feel light and refreshed. Like I just had a really nice dream.

I check the status and I see that I have more than 12000 energy.

Is that high or low?

This time, I heard nothing. So the mysterious voice will not help me, this time.

I wanted to take care of those guys first. But, I have to look after the princess as well.

She is my ticket out of here.

So, I carry her in my arms. She is light and soft.

Now, I should head home first. Maybe Hazel is fuming.

I should do something to brighten up her mood.

With that, I leave that place and head home in light jog.
