Black Fog (A)

The screams of pain were deafening. Creatures of all kinds, shapes, and sizes trudged along. His withered back supported several heavy objects. A little tired will get a whip from the guard. They were creatures unlucky enough to be slaves in the Legendary world. The disobedient weaklings didn't admit that Dosta was the ruler of the Legendary Land.

"Weak creatures, hurry to work!"

Ctiiiiaaaarrrrr!!!

A jagged lash was thrown at one of the creatures incapable of carrying out their duties. The creature's body was too tired and decided to rest. The creature grimaced. But he couldn't fight Orpha. The giant rhino monster with muscles like solid concrete is one of the darkest mainstay subordinates. Orpha the ruthless creature was assigned as the leader of the overseers of the slaves.

The slaves were assigned to collect minerals and food for creatures who always obeyed the darkness. Because as it is known that almost the territory of the Legendary Land is very arid. There are no living plants. Everything was destroyed. The food source of most of the legendary land creatures had died. It makes the creatures in it starve. Only creatures who are lucky and have enough strength can survive or choose to flee to the human world.

In the wilderness of the Legendary forest, two buffalo demons are watching the creatures who are made into slaves. They perched on a tree,

"The darkness is only hiding behind his men. Pyuhh … coward." Cebik, one of the demons, jumped down and put the binoculars back down.

"Watch your mouth, Krok!"

The buffalo demon didn't heed it. Rolling lazy eyes when his friend reprimanded him. He then stood up. Starting challenging.

"He's always relied on his men to carry out missions. He's always been hiding in his castle and behind his silly mask. He's a homely creature that ..."

Not even a second had he finished his sentence, the buffalo's eyes suddenly rounded. The muscles in his eyes were popping almost out of place. His clay body stiffened and felt tight. Something was gripping his whole body.

****

Dosta sits cross-legged. He rarely came out of the castle. But he can do a lot of unexpected things, both amazing and scary.

Dosta closed her eyes. A second later, a black mist slowly emerged from within his body. The black smoke then flew away. Floating out towards the corners of the Legendary Land.

Yes... The body of the darkness is still there. But not with his soul. He can be everywhere, in different forms, in anyone's form. And at this moment he incarnated as empty air. Overheard one of the lowly beings dismisses him.

Ohh... He's not mad. Don't grind your teeth, don't clench your fists, don't grumble, and don't get emotional by tearing up the entire jungle because you're insulted. He's just silent... Because the creature has no feelings. And... Without further ado, as fast as lightning was almost invisible, the darkness immediately grabbed the demon's neck. Making the demon's speech was silenced because of the black smoke that was like a chain choking the throat.

The black mist extended from the neck down to the feet. Wrapped around the body of a creature named Krock. The coil is like a python that wants to paralyze its prey. Crush bones. Until his eyeballs popped out. Enduring the pain is excruciating.

His body twitched, and he tried to pull the fog. But unfortunately, smoke can not be touched. The buffalo demon gasped helplessly. Very tormented by the entanglement of the mist that squeezed his body more and more. Until wishing to die is the best way.

While the stealthy friend just stared in fear. His body was unable to move because of the shaking. He shuddered in horror with his mouth agape as he watched his friend suffer so much. And...

CROOTTT...

Buffalo demon blood sprayed over the ground. Like a squeeze of coconut milk, the creature's body crumbled. Green blood flows perfectly. The Krock's friend froze in a limp, watching his kinsman die horribly. His body shattered like a pile of tons of iron.

The black mist slowly formed a human silhouette. Even though it was pitch black, it could be seen that he was grinning, "Don't mess with the darkness."

"Suwa."

The voice startled him, though in a casual tone Suwa managed to recover from consciousness. The girl woke up, and a second later she got up feeling her stomach churning wildly. Since last night he has been feeling nauseous. He vomited until he passed out. Yes... All that since he saw how the entire Haye noble family had died horribly because of him. And the fresh blood still lingered in his sense of smell.

"Are you all right?" Ludra approached Suwa. He patted the woman's back.

Suwa was still nauseous. But he was unable to remove the contents of his stomach because it had been drained last night.

The girl turned and looked at Ludra limply. His face was pale. I don't know if it's from throwing up too much or because I'm afraid.

"At this rate, you will lose energy." Ludra pulled Suwa to sit and leaned against the cave wall. Last night, Ludra immediately took Suwa and darted to hide in a cave in the middle of the forest.

"Eat! Your stomach must be filled." Ludra gives some fruits to Suwa. But the girl remained unmoved. His body was still shaking.

Ludra observed Suwa's condition. This girl must be very shy. Of course, who is a normal human who doesn't feel that way when he sees a sadistic murder in front of his eyes?

"From now on you should get used to seeing blood, Suwa."

Suwa laughed. Then he looked away and lay on his side with the back of his hand as a pillow. He curled up, remembering the incident 12 years ago where his entire family was brutally massacred. Only he survived. The little girl in the snow was still conscious when her father put his index finger to his lips. As a signal for Suwa to be quiet. And... A second later they beheaded his father and the rest of his family.

Until now, Suwa is still traumatized. Especially when he saw the blood, his stomach immediately churned.

"I... I killed them." Suwa muttered softly, feeling guilty for everything that happened.

Laura did not respond. He was still silently watching the woman curled up with her back to him. Soon he was walking.

The sound of his footsteps made Suwa turn around and get up from her position. He stared at the last Falcon in surprise. Wondering what the creature was going to do.

Ludra stood up. Undressing his armor, revealing such masculine clay muscles. Suwa's pale face suddenly brightened, and she hastily lowered her head.

"W... What are you doing?"
