Part 3.

after he joined the party they begun their hunt killing rabbits while he were commanded to stay at the back with rina because they only saw him as weak beginner that just want money.

crain just stayed back as was told but he's not irritated with it since staying at the back has it's merits, he were able to learn the attack pattern of the rabbits while watching the group in fighting and also he can learn about how this world combat system works.

while watching them fight he noticed that they were quite proficient since they were able to dispatch the rabbits more faster than the other groups he saw earlier. The archer pish shot the rabbits to draw their attention while gandalf their tanker go in front to aggravate the rabbit and riff the spear hit the vital spots that the rabbit opened after attacking their tanker.

'they were quite experience in this.'

he though as they hunted at more faster rate than the others. once in a while Pish also shot some foxes to their way and just like their usual tactic they dispatched it rather quickly because even they were injured or their hp goes down a little bit rina always healed them to their former form.

" good, let's rest for a bit, and crain go and pick the japtems. "

crain walked toward the rabbits and foxes to pick their pelt, leathers accompanied by some meat and also some small amount of money. while they were hunting he was task to loot the items since he just stayed back and leach their exp but since his level is too high for the monsters not eve a percent is filled even after they hunted many rabbits and foxes, at first rina complained against it but since their reasoning is acceptable she can't voice out any more retort so crain just accepted his task.

after looting all the japtems he went back in the party, they were already lighting a fire to cook the meats they hunted. it seems that rina is quite efficient in cooking too.

" sorry crain, next time let me help you pick the items. "

" no it's ok, since you have invited me in this party even though i'm still a beginner so at least i will help in looting the japtems. '

he wryly smiled as rina showed a apologetic face.

after they lit up the fire rina brought out a pot in her bag and put it in the fire, while she washed the meat and skinned some vegetables to go with it. crain tried to help her but she strictly said " no this is a woman's work, so boys should just wait for the food." and so he gave up and just watched her do her work till she finished cooking.

" as always your cooking is good rina. "

" yeah, please be my bride. "

" delish. "

the three simultaneously praised her cooking while crain just ate what was given to him in silence.

" hey crain what do you think about the food? "

" yes, it's delicious. "

he kept his smile as he remembered that since he came in this world this is first proper meal he ate and is quite thankful to rina.

rina blushed slightly as she heard crain's complement but then a murderous intent were directed to crain. tilting his head he looked at the three men and noticed that the three of them liked rina so he was their target of jealousy now because since a while ago rina were always talking to him happily.

*sigh*

'this is one of the reasons why i hate parties. '

sighing in his mind he remembered the mmorpg that he played before coming here. in there he once joined a party of four just like this but there were two girls and two boys. since in the game he were quite strong the girls started to notice him more leading the boys pk'ing him but he just killed them in the spot and leaved the party.

" now since the foxes and rabbits were already weak for us let us try the wolfs now. "

gandalf proclaimed as he stood up after all of them finished eating leading them to the forest. at first rina complained a lot since she just assumed that crain is still weak since all of them leveled up quite a bit because of their fast hunting but gandalf just dismissed all her retort saying " he is also a men so he should be able to protect himself for a bit and we will kill it afterwards. " rina grumbled contentiously until they reached the entrance of the forest.

" after entering this forest i want all you to remain vigilant since wolf are known to be a intelligent monsters that hunted in pack rather than alone. "

with gandalf's warning everyone tensed up excluding crain since he were not afraid rather he was excited and just barely containing himself.

*awooooooo*

Entering the forest many wolfs howled but they didn't show themselves and remained hidden watching the group of five enter their den. After some time passed wolfs started to show thierself one by one till they reached a number of eleven.

" rina remain at the back, riff help me out in tanking for a bit, pish snipe the wolfs in thier feet to decrease thier mobility, and you. "

gandalf grimaced as he look at crain.

" stay at the back with rina, if you must sacrifice your self to protect rina you should do it. "

crain nodded at him since he knows how important a healer is in a party so he has a point but rina didn't understand it and complained.

" hey gandalf we shouldn't have entered this forest and gain some more experience with the foxes and rabbits before coming here. "

" it's too late to back down now, since if we turn our back and run they will still kill us. "

rina looked crain asking for assistance but crain just smiled wryly in response as he tried to comfort her.

" it's ok even if i look this weak i'm still a man so will protect you even if the cost is my life. "

" hey crain concentrate in the battle stop flirting with rina. "

gandalf grumbled as she brought back the blushing rina but it help at all in stop her blush as she burned more in red hearing what gandalf told.

before she can even retort the wolfs started to circle them. giving a go signal gandalf used his skill"intimidating roar" the skill were quite useful since they get 10% more in stat as their moral heightened while the enemies will be confused for ten seconds.

hearing the go signal pish started to snipe the back legs of the wolf as he was tasked while riff and gandalf rushed to plank the wolfs.

the wolfs were slowly decreasing as they dispatched one wolf at a time while ganging it up using various skills and if they were wounded rina will always heal them while creed aggravate the wolfs coming to rina while dodging their claw as he rolled down in the ground. the three looked at his unsightly performance but he still did it to survive following his instinct and reflexes he continued to dodged the wolfs waiting for them to kill it.

there were still five wolfs remaining and all of them were quite exhausted and rina's mana is slowly drained by the continues heal and buffs she casted on them.

" damm this wolfs. "

gandalf grumbled as he eyed the remaining wolfs that circling them.

" change of plan, hey crain since you were the only one who isn't that exhausted grab their attention while we gang up one of them at a time. "

crain nodded his head as he aggravate the wolfs and started to run in circle as the party ganged the wolfs one by one. after some time passed only one wolf remained.

crain were constantly running in circle as he lured the wolf waiting for them to kill it but many minutes pass no help came.

looking back he saw that rina were knocked down while the three men were ogling at her body.

'so this is their plan. '

crain didn't trust them from the beginning since he noticed that they were purposely avoiding some wolfs coming at him and so he just let them do what they want in order to know what they are planning.

*sigh*

'humans, really even this world they are untrustworthy.'

the three men did as they please as they were reaching for rina's cloak looking at her with a perverted eyes, they didn't even cared what crain will do since they assumed that he can't even deal one wolf alone but unlike what they assumed crain is more powerful than them.

crain stopped moving and glared the wolf with his gleaming silver eyes releasing his pressure targeting the poor wolf. the wolf froze and stepped back but before it can even run crain grabbed it's neck and broke it in the spot.

the three men didn't notice anything since the wolf died in silence and that's what crain planned as he used sneak to erase his presence and walked toward them.

they started to touch rina in various place as they slowly undress her, looking at the hideous act of humanity before him crained deactivated his sneak and released his killing intent activating his skill fed by his anger. His anger is not because of love or anything but because of being thankful to rina. and seeing the tree guys humiliating her he couldn't contain his anger anymore.

" what the. "

three of them took a stance as they jumped off distancing their-self at the origin of the killing intent and just to see crain walking slowly toward them with a terrifying killing intent along with his gleaming cold eyes looking at them like they were trash needed to dispose.

" so your showing your true self now. "

gandalf smirked as riff and pish started to laugh.

" so you managed to kill that wolf but let see we will just kill you here and tell rina that you attacked her when we were busy with the wolfs and we are enraged so we killed you in revenge. good story right? but it's unfortunate though we will just lure her here again to taste her body. "

gandalf licked his lips as he thought what he would do as the other two smirked in response while crain just stayed silent the whole time looking at them with a cold eyes.

crain approached rina and rolled back her cloak as he opened his mouth.

" is this your plan from the beginning? if so get lost before i extinguish your existence from this world. "

he released his maximum killing intent targeting the three men. gandalf faltered as the other two stepped back in response to crain's pressure.

" blasphery what do you think you can do with the tree of us, you're just lowly upstart and you dare to threaten us."

" wrong answer "

just as he spoke he vanished in their sight due to his high agility that helped him move more faster. he didn't even notice anything strange in his body since his anger were at maximum and at mini second gandalf literally flew as he punched him straight to his abdomen while Riff and Pish frozen in their spot as they looked crain.

" next what the two will do? "

the first one to react is riff he thrusted his spear to stab him through his heart but before he noticed it he flew upward and blurted out some blood.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

pish stepped back and started to run away in haste but in no avail Crain caught up to him and plank him in the ground, grabbing his neck he dragged him back along with Gandalf to where riff is. Riff and Gandalf didn't still lose their conscious and saw Pish being beaten to pulp by Crain with a cold gleaming eyes they shivered as they saw a pure violence taking place before them. The pure agony Pish showed gived them a cold sweat at their back. they wanted to run but since they were disabled to the extent where breathing alone is hard enough they have no other choice than pretend being unconscious.

crain ignored the window as he continued to pound Pish as he maintained a percent of his health to remain.

" i know that the two of you are still conscious, and you dared to act. "

Pish who fell unconscious now dropped in the earth bleeding entirely in his face as his breathing is ragged, crain walked next toward the two who groaned as they forced themselves up.

" pl-please stop we wo-won't do it again. "

" wrong answer again. you should have apologized first. "

with a cold voice crain pounded gandalf first till he fell unconscious same as Pish his face is now can't be recognized anymore. Riff trembled while crain drew closer to him.

" i-i'm sory ple-please forgive me. "

he stuttered as he forced his mouth to move and groaned in pain at the same time. but Crain grabbed his hair and stared through his eyes with his own two gleaming eyes.

" again, wrong answer, don't apologize to me apologize to Rina. "

he pounded his face just like the other two he fell unconscious in the ground.

" that's what you get from doing something like that in front of me, i even tolerated the way you treated me but you went too far and crossed the line. "

he stood before them with his bloody fist and some blood splattered in his face and his silver hair were colored in crimson in some part along with his gleaming silver eye made a portrait of a Terrifying Silver Demon.

"wh-what happened? "

"well just some things, first heal them and they will start singing like a bird."

when Rina regained her consciousness she saw Gandalf, Riff and Pish on the ground with a battered and bloody face gathered at one corner while Crain is in front of her as he gestured her to heal them.

Walking toward the three men she started to chant some spells as light covered their body, their bruises and wounds started to heal themselves. Stabilizing their breath they slowly regained some strength and also regain their consciousness.

Before Rina can even react the three men grovelled in the ground and planted their knees In front of crain.

Dumbfounded she stared at Crain while Crain on the other hand continued to look at them with a cold eyes that even Rina herself shivered at the sight of his cold face. She didn't expect that Crain were able to show a face like that and what's more unbelievable is that the three men that were quite strong and filled with pride prostrated themselves in front of him.

" were sorry, please forgive us. " "we won't do it again. " " please don't hit us anymore. "

" NO, if apologizing will make anything right then we won't need any police anymore. "

The three men begged as they pleaded for forgiveness in front of crain and Crain just responded with a cold tone. Rina were so shocked that she can't comprehend what's happening before her. The haughty Gandalf is almost planting his face in the ground as he pleaded for forgiveness while the other two teared up and do the same.

" Wh-What's happening here.? "

Rina retorted as she searched her memory but since she were suddenly knocked down with a unknown force she can't remember anything.

Crain shrugged his shoulder as he looked at the trio with a contemplating look.

" They will explain everything, right?...or else. "

The three men heard what Crain said and they trembled as they imagined what they have gone through with his fist.

This time the tree men changed their position and groveled before Rina.

" Were Sorry Rina please forgive us, we won't ever touch you again. " " Please forgive me i won't do it again. " " Sory Rina . "

Rina stepped back as the three men apologized to her like their life were on the line but she just looked at them with a confused face.

" Hey explain properly from the beginning, since she didn't know what you are apologizing for. "

The trio bitterly grumbled but with Crains cold eyes and the gesture of his fist they immediately confessed while asking for forgiveness.

Rina though about what they said as she looked at them with cold eyes.

In the beginning the three weren't planning on going to the forest since they only want to enjoy their time with Rina but then Crain joined the party and Rina always cared for him igniting a jealousy inside them.

Misunderstanding her kindness they thought that she liked Crain and begin to fall for him. So in order to get rid of the favorite and their rival they formulated a plan and they came up with going to the forest to let him die in the wolfs but since Crain were quite agile he managed to survive the attacks of the wolf and there came their delemia when the wolf decreased to five.

Changing their plan they let Crain baited the wolfs as they finished the other wolfs one by one and let the last one chase Crain to kill him and there they knocked Rina to have her body while unconscious and planned to blackmail her for Crain's death for her inadequate healing.

" All of you are the worst. "

with a cold voice she hated them for what they and she lost all her respect to them, she even trusted them but with their hideous act she didn't even dare to look at their eye anymore.

" so that's how it is... now what will i do. "

crain spoke hinting them what will happen for now on.

" please just let us live we will do anything. " " please let us go. " " i don't want to be beaten again. "

they simultaneously begged and if not for their pride they would lick Crain's foot for forgiveness.

" is that so?. "

Crain smiled but anyone who saw him smiling will think of it as a Devil's smile. The tree shuddered and regretted thier words but they can't swallow their words anymore.

After Crain's Gesture the three of them stood up.

" ok, i won't torture the three of you anymore you will just need to help me in my test or maybe even in your tests. "

the three sighed in relief since they imagined the worst possible torture in their mind.

"first Pish, scout the surrounding and find were the wolf is and you Riff and Gandalf lure all of them to me, i'll finish them my self. "

He also gestured rina to come near him.

" rina, do you still want to hunt with us? don't worry this time i will protect you if they were still planning something. "

He looked at them and they swinged their head in denial.

" o-ok, since you saved me once, thank you crain. "

Rina blushed as she thanked him while the other three look at them bitterly but can't retort since they have done something unforgivable so they have to give up their love in her.

" no, it's ok. didn't i tell you from the beginning that i will protect you even if the cost is my life. "

Crain sincerely thought about it since he were quite thankful to her but rina just blushed and avoided his gaze.

" ok the three of you time for work, i wan't to complete the quest before the sun sets, and just a little warning, don't even bother to escape since i can always find you. "

He spoked with his gleaming silver eye intimidating the three.

The three hastily done their job, Pish started to scout ahead as for Riff and Gandalf they also helped him search since they don't want to stay near him if possible.

The true hunt started after Pish reported his finding, while Riff and Gandalf lured many wolfs at once, they numbered almost 20. When they reached Crain he immediately activated his Pressure freezing the wolfs and even some of them started to back down as they noticed that they can't do anything to him but Crain rushed at them killing first the wolfs that tried to run while pounding their body, crushing their head breaking their neck.

Looking at him massacring the wolfs that they hunted with effort, they witnessed a true hell for the first time, bodies of the wolfs are ripped apart, stench of blood lingered in the air and a silver demon rampaged at the middle. But Rina thought differently, she gazed at him warmly as he looked at him killing the wolfs in elegance as his silver hair danced with the wind and his fierce silver eye looked cool.

The hunt continued like this for a while and from time to time Gandalf, Pish or Riff tried to run away since they were used as a bait to lure wolfs and even sometime caught at the middle of the battle as they watched the massacre, but before they can even reached the Exit of the forest Crain were standing there dragging them back with him.

They were also used as a shield sometimes, with both their mind and soul exhausted they can't take it anymore and tried to challenge him but they were beaten to pulp again and Rina healed them then beaten again, the cycle continued for a while so they just resigned to their fate praying that the sun sets soon so they will be released in this hellish torture.

" okay, i completed the quest now and also gathered enough money so let's go back in the town. Rina thank you for staying with me. "

" No, it's okay i also managed to gain many level while staying with. "

Rina were beaming in joy as she said she gained many level ups since every lure almost 20 or more wolfs were killed but the three that were luring didn't enjoy it even if they gained some level since they were sure that they be haunted with a nightmare for a while.

' at last, we can go back home. ' ' thank gad i will be released from the clutch of this devil soon. ' ' i hope i won't ever meet him again. '

the three made a silent declaration to avoid him even in town as they exited the forest.
