Chapter 3 - Encounter with a Hero

“I don’t want a blue one. You can’t trust them. They do everything for power. I want a red one. They are like Berserkers that I heard about.”

I stopped when I heard those words. Who were they? I didn’t know them, so they were either humans or some runaway animals. They weren’t demons because I didn’t hear any demon that talked like that.

And I was at a tight point. I couldn’t turn there, so I tried to walk backwards.

I stopped. There was a pointy thing in my sacrum (Where the tail is connected with the body). And it wasn’t a tree's branch.

****. Someone was behind me.

*POV Maxwell*

I desperately held the door.

I felt like I was about to faint.

Why did I feel like that when I entered the church?

It was the place that I lived for years.

It was the God’s home.

I felt relaxed whenever I was here normally…

So, it wasn’t because I entered, right? Yes, heat just made me dizzy and it was a coincidence that I felt it while I was entering the church.

I waited till I feel better and went to my room.

When I turned the door knob to see if the cleaner was here, it opened so I walked in casually.

“Oh, High Priest.”

I quickly bowed.

High Priest was looking at the books in the bookshelf.

“Welcome, Maxwell.”

“What brings you here, Sir?”

He put away the book in his hands and slowly walked to me.

“I need you for something Maxwell.”

“What is it, Sir?”

“I came here with a Savior’s Blood.”

“A Savior’s Blood?”

“Yes, you heard that demons are retreating, right?”

“I heard Sir.”

“They are thinking that it is because Devil is planning to attack.”

What? Are they attacking after 400 years?

“So, Savior’s Bloods are forming an army. There is 24 young Savior’s Blood but there are too many adventurers that wants to be in an adventure and animals are with us as well. Even our king, as a Savior’s Blood, sends his 1000 soldiers.”

“But, why a Savior’s Blood is here?”

“He wants demonic animals as well.”

“Why sir?”

“You know the history records right? They were few deserters from demonic animals that didn’t want to fight in the last war. And after 400 years there may be more of them that wants to join our side.”

“I understand Sir. Then we are going to the Dead Forest of Snapdragon, right? When?”

“He is waiting for you right now.”

I looked at the child that was walking in front of me.

He was only 13 years old. High Priest said "young Savior’s Bloods". Were they all children?

He had a maid with him, and the King sent 2 royal guards and an assassin.

“My sister says if there is a choice, we should get blue ones. They are the most powerful. But I don’t want a blue one. You can’t trust them. They do everything for power. I want a red one. They are like Berserkers that I heard about.”

“Shh, a big demonic animal is here.”

As the assassin said that, he jumped to a tree and disappeared.
