Chapter 267: Unseen Forces (Part 2)
John Rigen's perspective
(Your Majesty, what's wrong?!). - Those guards showed their fear clearly, they stepped back after they saw their ruler killing one of their men
The Demon Lord doesn't speak up, but stares at the body she's slain previously. No changes from that corpse, it remains a deceased guard, a green goblin. Seconds later, she lifts the sword up again and it makes other monsters scared of her more than ever.
"Sir John... the way to identify them...?". - She looked behind, glancing at me for a question
".............". - I just kept silent then made a shaking head
She learns that I don't know how to distinguish the impostors among her men, doing it is difficult. But Darker doesn't seem to be giving up. She looks around, glaring at every guard. But in the end, she lowers the bloody sword.
"Go back to your men, Sir...". - She reminded me to return to my group for safety, though the way she talked was like threatening me
I silently step back till I return to my group. Shera and Reimi are having a difficult moment, don't really know how to act. While the prophet is avoiding looking at the dead bodies, she closes her eyes.
"Those lizardmen... they look so familiar...". - Reimi whispered to Shera, she replied with a nod. "My Lord, did those creatures have just fled from Sir Cawess' world to this p-".
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!". - Another slash was made behind us, the Demon Lord had just killed someone else
Like a natural instinct, we turn around when we heard the killing sound. Another body is found on the floor. However, this one's appearance is a lizardman, she's found another impostor.
(Your unit... it's you). - Darker made a cold voice to the Orc guards in the room, the goblin ones were very bewildered
(Hah?!!!). - Some goblins were crushed on the floor before they could react, some got knocked out, some managed to stay conscious, but weak. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!". - Right after disarming the goblins, those Orcs blasted their Garand rifles at Darker
I grabbed Shera and Reimi to push ourselves onto the floor when the incident happened. We managed to avoid lots of stray bullets. The prophet also followed us, she is now very worried about Demon Lord.
From what I witnessed, some bullets had made it... they hit her chest. But the strange is, the wound holes in Darker's body are now healing, closing holes and stopping the bleeding. The Orc guys are very confused when they see she doesn't die. Sounds of falling bullet heads can be heard... touching the floor in silence.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!". - They ran away when they saw around Darker had a round blue electrical barrier, shot bullets were floating around the outside of the barrier
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!". - Those bullets suddenly backfired as the Demon Lord glared at 'em. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Urrrghhh! Arrrrrggghhhhh! Urrrrrgggghhhh! Ahhhhh!". - Those Orcs got hit in their legs, they started screaming, bleeding painfully
(What the hell's happening?!). - Not so long later, a group of black elven guards came in
(Oh my Goddess...). - They were shocked to see the bodies, they stepped forward, avoiding stepping on the blood and the bodies. (Your Majesty, what's happening here...?). - One man who looked like a Commander of that unit asked the Demon Lord. (There are alive ones, over here, look!). - The subordinate guards crouched on the floor, nearby the wounded impostors to examine and heal them
(Those who are in Orcs and lizards' skins are impostors, capture the alive... keep the dead in the basement...). - Done ordering the guards, the Demon Lord walked away, then came to us
"It'll take me some time to solve this issue, now follow me to the safe place, Hero...". - She left us and headed to the door afterward, did not let us have a second to speak but to keep up with her

I wonder how is that woman King doing. Since that mysterious incident, we've been kept in this room for nearly two hours, it's terrible. According to my Advisor, this time is... 5:09 PM. I wonder how long we have to stay here because I want to get out.
After that incident, we were brought to a room for the Royal members or something. We have to wait till the Demon Lord returns to get us out of here. But till now, she hasn't come back yet.
For some reason, four of us have to stay in only one room. My wife is sitting next to me, on the bed. While the prophet and Reimi are quite... curious, about a big TV in the room. They had just turned on that thing earlier. Now their eyes and their mouths are pointing toward the TV screen, feeling curious to watch a show.
The color of that TV only has black and white. Although the model of the TV is quite modern, it still makes me feel like I'm watching something odd from the 50s. Reimi is stunned to watch this old one more than the modern one. She keeps staring at the TV's black and white screen, no blinking.
"I wonder what is it showing...". - The prophet commented about the show on TV, then she turned around to glance at us. "Sir, please let me ask you". "Your world has this kind of magical thing...? The television...".
"Nod...". - I don't know what else to do more than nodding to answer her
"I can't believe that my ancestor's world doesn't have magic, but can do such magical things like this". - Yura returned to stare at the TV screen. "Reimi, I think staring at it for too long and too close is not... good at all". - She tapped Reimi's back, asking her to keep her eyes farther from the TV
"Uh, I'm sorry...". - Both of them later sat a bit farther, Reimi raised the remote as if she wants to switch to the next channel
"Ms. Anderson, could you...?". - All of sudden, my wife spoke up
"?".
"I see you elves live so simple, I mean... not so much developed than we humans, just why...?".
"We do also live in cities and with other civilized things like humans, but... we prefer living in nature". "To us, things like golds and crystals are just... pretty from their outsides, their insides themselves are just... empty". "We elves priority the soul from the inside, we just... don't want to be corrupted because of racing to chase something without thinking about its benefits and consequences". - Yura used both her voice and her hands to explain, although she was a bit... clumsy. "Ummm, that's it... we do want to develop our place, but we take a long time to make up decisions...". "I'm sorry if I don't explain well, Mrs. Rigen... I haven't lived long enough to have much knowledge to explain this". - The prophet smiled at us, then returned to watch Reimi
"There's no fussing outside... so I think the situation's going well, John". - My wife said to me, she really wanted to go outside too. "Ummm, hey...". - My wife gently grabbed my hand, she got close to me. "We had argued last night... ummm, I think I also had a fault on this". "Do you need anything, John...? Please tell me and I'll fulfill it... okay?". - My wife, we can only have time to "intimate" when we are really alone, but now people are around us
"No, not that...". - She smiled at me, then gave me a gentle tap on my chest. "I mean I want to fulfill for your other needs, not just about "in bed", how naughty you are, John...". - Yeah... maybe I should open my brain a bit. I mustn't disturb my wife much since she is pregnant
"I want to eat things you cook for me, Shera...". - I slowly grabbed my wife's waist, then stayed silent, slowly feeling her warmth. "........................". - Can you stop thinking about sex when you're with your wife...?! Don't trouble her!
"Okay...". - She cuddled my face, then poked my chest. "Now I just wonder how long until we can get out... we can't stay here forever". - A short moment later, my wife fell to my chest then went silent
"Can't we just do something else more than watching that iron box, Reimi?". - Meanwhile, I heard Yura reminding Reimi
"So many things to watch in this box, Ms. Anderson, I just can't... I want to see something new". - Done saying, Reimi glanced at me for no reason. "My Lord... well, the thing called "TV's channel" in your world". "If this one is similar to it... well, does it have some kind of show for the military... dancing stuff...?".
"Yeah, of course...". - But I don't this world won't have it
"What are you watching?". - My wife curiously asked Reimi
"I don't know exactly, my Highness... uhhh". - Reimi clumsily returned to stare at the TV black and white screen to see the broadcast show. "It's about a man, I mean an elf... well, he dresses very stylishly...". "And he's reading some kind of paragraph, looks up most of the time... the paper's not on the screen".
"Does the screen show pictures of something?". - I spoke up
"Ah, yes". "Sometimes the screen shows up pictures of different people and locations, it's very weird". - Reimi glanced back to see me. "I don't know what kind of this show...". - Then that must be the news for sure
"Maybe that guy's an editor, you're watching the news".
"Huh?". - The three of them looked at me in confusion
"Guy announcing for the viewers the news, I mean the info of new things received in the entire country".
"Oh... it's similar to the information announcers we see in the street, Reimi". - My wife started explaining to Reimi in a simple way. "They stand there to read stuff to announce to people from the morning till it gets dark, it's similar to the thing you're watching".
"Oh...". - Reimi returned to watch the screen in stunning. "So with a box like this in every house, people can get the information easily and simply without going out of the street to hear the info...".
"It's some kind of magic...". - Yura looked at us, smiling. "When our village has some kind of festival, we have to go out to watch the entire show...". "But with this...". - She glanced at the TV screen. "You don't need to go anywhere, everything is mixed in this iron box...".
"You've learned about it quite fast, prophet". - I silently praised... or I just say I was impressed with the prophet's fast learning skill
"Can't imagine that my ancestor's world was this developed...". "Just... well...". - She lowered her face, as if she was... embarrassed. "We elves are described to be lords of deep and high knowledge since most of us can live long for hundreds years of without aging". "Our mind, youth, strength remain in good shape for hundreds of living years... but now I see I'm so small when I look at this TV".
"Hey, prophet... I think...". - Shera suddenly spoke up. "Just no matter how long you live, if you don't set your feet out of your village to experience then your knowledge only stops there".
"You're right...". - She smiled at my wife. "Most of us don't go out of villages, jungles to see a real developed world...".
"I wonder if you guys loved to watch TVs if you had them in your house". - I asked her
"No no...". - The prophet shook her head twice. "It's very convenient... but we prefer the nature and soul things". "It's better to go there to watch and experience the things more than watching it through a soulless box...". - Seems like the elves love peacefulness and natural things more than I imagined, they race to chase the "soul" things to develop, unlike we humans
"Knock! Knock! Knock!". - Suddenly, the room's door behind us got knocked on three times... that must be Darker
"Oh...". - All of us's attention pointed toward the door
"Is that the Demon Lord?". - My wife asked me
"Maybe...". - But she should've said to us something after she knocked on the door
I leave the bed in cautious, then slowly approach the room's door. I still have the metal knife from the mealtime, so can still use it to protect myself and others. Shera and Reimi seem to be cautious as they see my strange behaviors. Only Yura feels nervous about this.

"Away... away...". - I waved my hand behind, asking my group members to stay away from the door
I also keep myself away from the door a bit instead of getting closer to it. Who knows if someone is gonna shoot at the door to kill us. But maybe I'm too careful with this situation. However, now I must be cautious.
"Who's out there?". - I got the knife readied to engage the person from the other side
"Ummmm...". - A young woman's low confused voice, huh? Alright. "Hi, I heard that you people are with the Hero that recently got escorted here to see my grandma...". - Hmmm... what?
"Who's your grandma...?". - How suspicious she is
"Darker, Darker - my grandma is the Demon Lord".
"And you are?".
"Graber... I'm Graber, this Kingdom's Princess...". - How the hell did the Demon Lord have a grandchild...?
Wait a minute. Darker's the daughter of Frank Anderson. Her mother might've used to have other children before she came to that human guy. Then the one outside must be the Demon Lord's grandchild from another of her half-sibling... okay, I get it.
"What do you want from us?".
"I can't see my grandma anywhere, some guards said that she was last seen walking with you people".
"Step away from the door, we'll be goin' out soon". - After that, I looked back to see my group members
They nod, readying to engage the obstacles from the other side of the door. After a short time thinking, I slowly open half of the door to check out. Hmmm... in front of me appears to be a girl, her face is a bit innocent. A white girl with big yellow eyes, short and round white hair and two short horns on her head.
She wears a black purple coat with a purple scarf, this girl bows to greet me as she sees me coming out. I greet her with a nod, then move my eyes around to check more. After a short time, I see nothing suspicious outside so intend to open the door completely.
"?". - This girl wanted to open her mouth, but she glanced at me confusedly
I open the door entirely, then my people greet that demon young girl. I keep eye contact with her to make sure she won't be a big threat to us. She just acts oddly, she keeps her head high, looking from the left to the right at the inside of the room.
"You're looking for someone?". - I asked her
"Yes, yes...". - She started focusing on us. "My grandma was last seen going with you people, but... she's not with you, Sir?". - I shook my head as I finished hearing her talk
"Hey....". - My wife spoke to her. "Your grandmother is busy right now, she may be not here for a while".
"But why, Miss?". - The girl named Graber put her knuckles to her chin, then looked to the left of the hallway, thinking. "Please let me know if you know where she went after she followed you... please, everyone". - Then she returned to look at us, she started begging
"We don't know where she went exactly...". - My wife glanced at me, her eyes asking me if she should tell her grandkid the truth
"Just... something important happened recently". - I focused on Graber, trying to explain to her. "Your grandma is now busy solving that thing, we don't know where she is right now...".
"Ummm...". - Graber didn't say anything, she made a fast bow clumsily. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've disturbed you people...". "I've got to go now, to ask the guards where's my grandma".
"Don't be roaming around, stay in your room and only contact to your closest".
"But wh-".
"Hey! Is that you, Graber?!". - All of sudden, a big voice sounded out from the hallway
"Ah, grandma!". - The young girl ran to that side
I use my hand signals to tell others to get inside because I intend to close the door. However, footsteps from afar suddenly come to us, they appear to be Graber and the Demon Lord seconds later.
"It's good when you're still here, Hero...". - Darker kept her eyes, voice, and face to be serious most of the time, huh?
(Listen to me, Grace). - Then she gently held her grandchild's shoulders, about to remind her of something. (A new group of... a traitor group has just been caught this recently). (They intended to overthrow me, now I'm on my way tracking them down so you should be aware of it). (The problem is those guys hide in the units of military, especially guards here).
(I can't identify who is ours, who is theirs yet). (Do not make any talks with the guards, get in your room and stay there for your safety).
(But what about you...?). - Graber said back something, as if she was worried about the Demon Lord
(I'll be alright...). - She gently tapped on her grandkid's shoulders twice. (Stay in your room and lock the door... soon there'll be a group of bodyguards I send to you).
(Okay...). - The grandchild nodded reluctantly. (Please stay safe, grandma... please).
"I will, I will...). - The Demon Lord seems to be very gentle when she's near her grandchild, that's a bit odd. (Kiss...). - She kissed her grandchild on her forehead
(Stay safe, grandma...). - Graber got out of her grandma's hands, she walked away but still looked back to see her grandma sometimes in nervous
"Good enough, we need to talk fast, Sir Rigen". - Demon Lord got in my room, then took a seat with her powerful pose
"What do you want?". - My wife stated that she would close the door on behalf of me, so I focused on Darker
"About the guys that tried to kill me earlier". - She pulled out something from her left side sleeve. "Look at these photos, three wounded samples have died during the interrogation, only one left for us to investigate...". - She put those gruesome photos on the table, then looked up to ask me to take a look
I take a seat then start examining a photo of a tied green lizardman. His eyes are plucked out and are bandaged in bloody bandages with his painful lips to be very visible. His hands are tied to his front side, with ropes full of spikes that mark bloody holes on his huge but wounded body.
All five fingers from his left hand are cut off. The cut-off fingers are not bandaged but left there. The blood is left to drip on the floor, a lake of blood is visible in the photo.
"Just full of physical torture, can't you do the mental one?".
"You've picked an alive one, that guy's about to return to the grass...". "I mean...". - Darker gazed at me seriously. "Orcs and Goblins aren't trained to take care of this issue wisely". "He's the only alive sample left for us...".
"We managed to take some of his testifies... and I'm concerned that you must go to the God's land as soon possible without the two remaining heroes". - My subordinates are dead, so I have to get there with my group members only
"Remember the mission you must do there". - She glared at me, asking me to focus deeply. "Go to the God's land, do not go around without the guard's permission". "Meet the Apostles as soon as possible, tell them to send the Goddess' message of destroying the world, let the entire Euro Grantians listen to it". "From that, humans will believe my warning, from that, the alliance of all races will be founded, from that, we'll fight against the Goddess' threat to protect this world, free it and drive its fate ourselves".
"Alright...". - I just made a light nod right at the time the members of my group took their own seats
"What did he tell you...?". - I started questioning the Demon Lord
Darker does not speak up, but points above, to the roof. Then her eyes seem to be tired, as if she is telling me that we're about to face something very dangerous. I can't fathom, but I can see the unseen fear in her eyes.
"I don't understand...". - My wife spoke up
"They come from the sky, just like the way the monster show up in Snow Border...". - The Demon Lord replied to us, but our eyes kept questioning her for more information. "You may not know about this... but since that white border was founded, strange monsters from the sky have been coming there for hundreds of years without stopping". "They'll roam around the border, killing the livings and moving to city areas to attack our people". "That's why we founded the "Border Knight", that person will patrol around the border to eliminate the monsters when there are sightings of them from the people".
"................". - I don't speak up, but stayed silent to gather more intel from Darker
"Wait, then wh-".
"Shera, be quiet...". - I told that to my wife, then her eyes asked me why. "Listen till she finishes, we need as much intel as possible before we proceed to anything else".
All of us shortly keep silent, and I'm trying to recollect something, I guess. Somehow my memory has some gaps, my sensation is very weird. Just feel like I know a bit about the Snow Border, the border Knight. But those recollections keep appearing and disappearing annoyingly so I can't get the full intel.
"I guess I have nothing else to say but to listen to you people, tell me...". - Darker spoke up, she glanced at my wife
"It's okay if you ask her now". - Now I have to be patient till those recollections run back to my mind, I must memorize those memories
"Your Majesty...". - Shera started questioning Darker. "Well... ummm...". - She was hesitated to speak up, huh? Maybe she wants to pick the question carefully. "In recent days, I've got strange memories of myself... but in somewhere else, still in the place named Diva but not Diva from this world, but that world's". - Wait wait wait, Shera! How did she... she remembered... wait wait wait!
"Urrrghhh...". - An annoying headache stormed into my mind, I managed not to moan since the pain wasn't too bad
Oh... I see. I remember it now.
"Wait, what...?". - The Demon Lord was bewildered
"Me too! The summoning was supposed to have wiped out the entire Warsaw, I returned here to change the future, that's how it is today". - I spoke up when my wife was about to, my voice overwhelmed hers. "In the previous timeline, both of us got there and met Rivia - she later died so I took her place, I protected the border". - I grabbed my wife then pulled me closer to me, I'm glad when she's somehow recollected her old memories. "Your grandkid somehow got here, and she was killed by monsters after that". "You sent your men to Rivia's house then found us, found her, then they killed my wife and my kid, I was escorted to the Palace to be executed by you". "And you forgave me, I also saw you assassinated by guys like the ones we faced in the dining room". "They they... they were killed and you led me to a room, you gave me a ring to wear then I vanished".
"That's how I met the Goddess, she gave me four years in a strange before she fulfilled my wish to return to the time before the ceremony was conducted".
After hearing my story, everyone in the room seems to be shocked. The Demon Lord stays silent while glancing at me, she both doubts and believes the story. Reimi's eyes open wider, Yura doesn't say anything. But both of them seem to be trying to believe that story too.
My wife nods to the Demon Lord to urge her to believe the story. When all of us are going silent, Reimi raises her hand highly for no reason.
"What?". - The Demon Lord glared at her then asked, maybe this King herself was very headache to verify the intel that I told her
"I confirm that story is the truth, Your Majesty". - Reimi lowered her hand, then tapped her heart to swear. "The explosion in the ceremony also got me into that strange world, I lived there for more than 10 years". "I also met up with Sir Rigen in that world too... we had... nothing...". - She lowered her face a bit. "I somehow got that memory, that's the truth". - She looked up, staring at the Demon Lord to confirm that she wasn't lying
I see that my wife is staring at Reimi slowly. Maybe she knows the meanings of her servant's previous words. She's jealous, but my wife soon tries to forgive Reimi.
"If everything you people said was the truth, then the Goddess might have... destroyed this world from that timeline". - The Demon Lord looked up to see us
"No, it was on the verge of occupation by the sky invader forces, the unseen forces in your men's skins". - I explained to make the Demon Lord understand. "The world hasn't been destroyed, it was occupied by those lizardmen, the allies were dying and your side was the last one standing that tried to save the world".
"Then we were on the verge of dying like just our allies...". - She replied to me. "Tell me about my homeland in that timeline, did we able to fight off those invaders...?".
"Shakes head". "You sent half of the Kingdom's troops, the last troops to open a blood path to save the allies on the Human Continent".
"How was... how was that time's military look like?".
"I don't know for sure...". - I stayed silent for a while. "Only saw, I only saw Orcs and M1 Garands, just those weapons and nothing else". "Your men even used horses to travel to Rivia's house".
".................". - The Demon Lord stayed silent, then looked up. "The invaders come from the sky, they might have the superior in the military than ours...". "Based on what you just said... we were lacking weapons at that moment, then we would lose and be occupied sooner or later". (That's how you'll destroy this world, Katia...?). - Suddenly, the Demon Lord spoke up something in Deranic language, her voice tone was full of hatred
"Did I tell you something else? About the current state of my country...? Like... did something of it, like some provinces got destroyed?". - I'm trying to remember, Sire
"You said... there were three explosions that destroyed three provinces of your Kingdom, I hope I remembered right".
"Then they must be provinces that held big military bases and bases that to manufacture firearms, etc...". "Without those states, no wonder when our military in that dying timeline lacked many things". - Done saying, she got silent but then soon glanced at Yura. "What...?". - She nodded to let the prophet speak up
"I think we should come to see the Apostles as soon as possible, Your Majesty...". "They may work for the Goddess, but it doesn't mean they oblige to her forever". "They may stand up again her too, I believe". "Just... I want the alliance among all races to be formed as soon as possible, since we're about to face a massive intrusion from the sky made by the Goddess".
"All stands together, huh...?". - Darker smirked a bit. "Good". "I'll send you to the dock very soon, if we start fast then we may reach that island when it comes to early morning".
"Can't use teleport machine?". - I asked her
"Sacred place, land of God doesn't allow us to have one". "It's an isolated island built by the Goddess after all, I heard that it was built with the defense purpose against the outside-world invasion". " "Outside-world invasion", it means things outside of Euro Grant, that's what she means".
"We'll use her own weapons to save ourselves from the invasion she makes for us, huh?". - Then I must investigate the island further when I come inside it, there may also be a way to save my dead subordinates too
"Again...? What?". - Darker saw Reimi raising her hand, she allowed her to speak up
"You said since the border was created, monsters started showing up around it...". "Why didn't you shut the border...? Then those monsters will stop appearing, right? Just... hmmm". - Didn't know what else to say, Reimi only knew to go silent
"That's impossible". - The Demon Lord replied to Reimi. "Monsters don't show up there randomly, the Goddess chose the border to be the location for them to spawn". "That's her purpose, she wants to test something on us by doing it". "And I guess I've known her true purpose now, that is to destroy this world".
"About shutting the border, that's against the things written in the Peace Agreement between us and humans...". "Though I used to shut it twice... one was to send those planes to your continent to warn you about the consequences of the ceremony". "The second was when I let Grace to conduct the invasion to attack human Kingdoms, killing their Kings and Lords to warn you". - Alright, I remember those cases a bit. "But... still there to happen, those monsters still appeared like before... even more when Rivia wasn't there to guard the Snow Border".
"Who's Grace?". - I asked her
"My late little sister... or I should say she was my older sister...". - Not so long later, the Demon Lord sighed a bit. "Graber... her face looks like exactly my older sister... I call her Grace because I miss her". - Done saying, Darker started retrieving something
I look down then see her retrieving the black and white photos on the table's surface. When the photos are put back to her sleeve, the Demon Lord gets off her seat then heads to the room's door. Maybe she is about to step outside, huh?
"All of your belongings are inside the closet, everyone". - She opened the door, but kept standing there to watch us for the last time. "Prepare yourselves, you'll come to the island as soon as you get reported, bring things you need there". "Now rest, I'm going back to work... that guy may now return to the green grass, if he's still breathing, he's lucky to see me again". - Done saying, Darker stepped outside like a King without closing the door
Reimi automatically runs to the door to shut it as Darker goes away. Yura stays silent for a while, then she comes to the TV to pick up the remote. Her eyes ask us if we want to watch TV. But no answer is made so she slowly points the remote to the TV screen.
"I'll take you the backpacks". - My wife told me, then got closer to me. "Kiss...". - She kissed me sweetly, so good. "Hmmph...!". - All of sudden, my tongue felt like to have been bitten slightly, a bit hurt
My wife leaves the bed to approach the closet to take the backpacks for all of us. Shera still seems to be jealous, oh my wife. But I won't say anything, I won't blame her or anything, it's okay when she did that... that's a cute of hers.
"Wait wait, please...". - Reimi returned to the TV, begging the prophet not to turn it off
Yura silently gives Reimi the remote, and she returns to a seat, thinking. The prophet is thinking about something. She closes her eyes, as if to try to imagine. Meanwhile, Reimi changes to another TV channel to watch another show about something, no idea.
"Hey...". - My wife returned to me with a glare as I locked my eyes on her servant
"Hey, Shera...". - I greeted my wife, she sat on the bed beside me gently while putting the three backpacks nearby us
"I'm scared that those green monsters are still nearby, we better have weapons to defend ourselves, John". - She opened my backpack, then did her best to pull out something. "Ahh, here...". - My wife pulled out a Latin-style machete whose blade was a bit rusted. "It's good to use this thing to slash someone dangerous...". - Suddenly, my wife glared at Reimi with full of her jealousy bursting in her mind. "Here". - She handed me the machete gently, then started choosing another backpack
I hold the machete tightly, then raise it to inspect the woodcutter thing. The blade of the machete is a bit rusted, but it still thirsts for a hunt. Now I will consider this thing to be our primary weapon, since we don't have swords. Firearms are now also far from our reach too. We only have melee weapons this time to protect ourselves.
Now I wonder what will happen to us when we come to the island of God...
