Episode 18 : Scary Message

A week had gone by too quickly. It was a situation that was getting worse every day. No one was leaving the village and the village population was falling every day. Every day my heart was in turmoil after the death of a friend. I was used to the deaths, but it was really hard..

We searched for traces of the poison. However, there was no trace. It was like nothing had happened. It was useless for us to make an antidote. Because every day we were faced with a different poison.

After stopping for a long time, I finally exploded. I got everyone in front of me, "From now on, no one will eat alone. All meals will be made by only one person, and the rations will be guarded by the village. I don't want to see someone die every day! And I don't want to see the death of newborn babies at all!!" it's a good thing that no children have died so far, but when this sentence came out of my mouth, everyone approved.

After an entire village had eaten breakfast in the morning, the village was hopeful that no one had been poisoned. While we were eating lunch, a dagger with an invisible speed was stuck in the head of the elf sitting near me. Everyone was screaming when the elf fell on my food. When I looked at the stabbed dagger, my eyes grew big. A strong killing intent seeped out of my body.

It was scary! It was extremely frightening. The screams had stopped, complete silence had taken over. Because of the strong killing intent, no one could swallow. They were just looking at me. There was fear in her eyes. What kind of person would have such a killing intent?! How many billion people did he kill?!!

When Lyra and Shalana saw me, they tried to approach me. I finally said, "H-No... This can't be! Why hasn't he let go of me yet?!" my words were reminiscent of a demon. When Lyra heard my words, she looked carefully at the dead elf. When at last he saw the paper that was at the dagger's end, his eyes grew big. On the paper was written in large letters "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM ME, AIDEN?!" he was writing.

Familiar! I came across a very familiar font. I know I won't forget this post for the rest of my life. Those two dark years passed before my eyes like a storyboard. When I realized my killing intent, which had leaked out involuntarily, I immediately restrained myself and walked away without making a sound.

Because of me! Everything is because of me! My selfishness had affected the happy life of this village. I was a fool to think I could be really happy! Why did I think he let go of me?! The stupidity was all in me!!!

I quickly entered the house and packed all my things. When I left the house, a big crowd stopped me. These were the elves in the village. It was all here. I coldly stated "Move away!" a child was thrown forward, "Brother, you can't go!" he said, shouting. I looked at the little elf and there was a little ripple in my eyes. Then someone else came out, "You can't go, Aiden. We don't know what happened, but if you have a problem, you can talk to your family. We will face your problems together!" said. An old elf came out "I don't know about the issue of young people, but I've had enough."he said with a smile..

While everyone was telling me not to go one by one, I finally clenched my fist and hit myself hard. How could I leave my family behind?

All the elves got around me and they stopped me from hitting myself. They all came up with sentences to comfort.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside the tree house. This is where I stayed when I first came here. The whole village could be seen from here. I looked forward with a determined expression and smiled. I will save the children here no matter what!

After that day, the excavation operations began. The deaths were no longer by poison. Some were being stabbed, others had been tortured. Day after day, the darkness that used to surround me was covering me.

Time passed, and a month was left behind. Of all the old people in the village, all but one had died. All that was left of those who died were their life stories. They also gave me the spells of their ancestors by writing them down. Right now, before the last old man in front of me died, he told me, "Save the children, Aiden, no matter what. Create a beautiful future for them. That's all I ask of you, son..." then he was dead in front of my eyes.

I shook my fist. I squeezed so hard that my nails dug into the palm of my hand and blood was dripping on the floor. Today I swore aloud again and again, "I will kill you with such pain that all your life you will beg that I wish I could die!!!" when I shouted, the sky darkened and scary lightning flashes flashed around the village. The bloodlust in my eyes was so strong that not only my pupil, but an entire eye turned blood red!

There was darkness that seemed to wrap me around like a cloak. An evil aura oozed out of my body. The demon kings who were in other realms stood up and said, "A new brother is being born!", "I hope it's a brother, I wouldn't want you to be my enemy." they were all saying something different. But they all had a brother's saying on their tongue.

When Lyra and Shalana saw me in this situation, they could only stand where they were. No one thought they could help Aiden right now...

I stood up and looked around and said, "Lyra, Shalana and everyone who wants to go, go through the secret passage with the children. Take this, too, and show it to the Scarlet Family. They will give the best treatment when you already show this badge." I threw the gold badge in my hand to Lyra. My name was on it. Aiden Scarlet!

I didn't stop any more and walked away. After I went to the tree house, I shut myself in the room and tried to calm down. At the moment, my mind was racing. My memories of the village were constantly being revived and destroyed in my mind. When I talked to the elderly, one by one they were covered in blood..

When it happened tomorrow, there were no children. Lyra and Shalana were gone too. There were only a hundred of us left. These people were people who were connected to the village even if they were in death. The faces of these hundred people were also like my brothers, mother and father at the time of three months. Now I just had to protect these people!

Everyone in the village was listening to me now. The grand elder left everything to me before he died.

As I looked outside, I felt that a great current of magical power was heading towards the village. When I looked in more detail using my power, I realized that it was a monster tide. I shook my fist. Why do everything come in a row! How can you be cruel enough to lure a tide of monsters into the village?!

I shouted with all my might, "Everyone arm yourselves! Prepare for a monster tide!" an entire village was scattered in disarray and they took out family heirlooms. The remaining hundred were all warriors and sorcerers. When the F-Rated monsters from the front broke through the walls and entered the village, the elves attacked.

The monsters were repelled. Several elves were injured. The elves continued to hold it for some time. They also prevented the influx of E-Degrees. But there were people who had already died. I looked down. My gaze was hard and frightening. I put one foot on the railing and went up to the railing. When I looked down, I saw a monster. Tuesday, I slowly let myself down. I had a spear on fire in my hand, the aura of frightening bloodline power enveloping my body, and I also stabbed my spear into the monster's head along with the blood fire.

Everything with a diameter of five meters turned to ashes. The monsters were dead in seconds. No.. they were melted!!!
