"What kind of defense is this!!!!!!"
Iris said that as she dodging the crocodile tail's by jumping over it. While on otherhand I was thinking how to kill this creature,even bullet barely affect it.There was only one bullet left.It wasn't impossible to kill it with 1 bullet,but it was too risky,if we missed then it would be impossible for me to fight without using the 'Devil'. Also no poison work on this crocodile..damn it.I must think fast,what I should do?
"Lux!!!Run!!"
I head Iris voice,at the same time the crocodile open it's jaw and just in front of me.I have no choice!!!Devil!!At the same time crocodile jaw stopped and was frozen in it's place. I then immediately move away Then I turn off the devil. Just now using it consume a lot of my energy..I Guess I would fight seriously from now.I change devil's image on my head to a magician image..I then took 3 sword key chain and throw it to the crocodile mouths at the same time it closed it's mouth.I then revert the key chain back to a real sword that I just bought..soon a sword appeared from it's mouth and pierced all over it's mouth.
"Iris go back,stay away 10 meter from me.."
But there was no respond,which means he was shocked because of The devil's Ability. Damn it,I guess I need to kill in instant,I then throw some key chain above it's. Then I revert it back to A huge axe that cost 30 gold each.The gravity pull the axe to the earth ,one of them fall into crocodile heads and kill it on the spot and it's body begin to split apart because the force of axe that rained down upon it..
"Damn god,he purposely took this kind of enemy so I need to fight seriously.."
I said that as I sighed and then switch magician image on top of my head to a man who goes into into journey,which is the fool and the ability I used most of my live.
"Devil?"
"It was the devil's ability in rumour."
I guess I couldn't hide it,after all I didn't have choice to use it. Even if I able to dodge the crocodile jaw from before,I still would use the devil ability to stun it and then kill's with magician. By throwing the keychain into the air and revert it back to heaviest axe,the gravity should gives it enough strength to kill the crocodile.I planned to use it,but I didn't expect to go all out. I felt killing intent aimed at us and I need to made him know they were not my opponent. As expected the one have killing intent on me and my sister was gone.Sight,my plan was ruined.Soon the rain stopped and rainbow appeared with complete written on it.Then soon people begin to vanish one by one..
"Lux,just befo-"
Before Iris could said anything ,she was already vanished. 2 seconds later it was my turn.It was empty space,with no one else.Suddenly a light begin to gather in a single place.A black egg appeared in front of me,but then in begin hovering in the air and soon a voice come from it.
"How interesting,human child."
This egg,Why I felt pressure from it?I felt like my live itself was in danger...
"Kuh ,kuh there was no need to worry. I pose no danger to you."
"You can read my mind?That sure was convenient...What do you want?"
"Kuh ,Kuh There was no need to rush. I just want to make a deal."
"Deal?"
"Kuh,kuh. Yes,how about it?You just need to made contract with me and bring me to the outside of world. In exchange ,I will lend you my power.How about it?"
"No."
"kuh,kuh as expected you say ye-.Wait no?"
"What do you think?There was no way I made a deal to unkown dangerous egg like you?"
"Kuh,kuh?I am not dangerous!!!You see wasn't it cute?It have black and purple mixed in?"
You could even see the shell of yourself?What kind egg of this!!!
"Kuh,kuh. Even if you ask that,I didn't know myself."
"Huh?That's impossible?Wait..Don't tell me."
"Kuh,kuh human as you think !!I am-."
"A egg shape creature?"
"......"
After all how is it possible for a egg to talking and hovering in air,Yep that must be it.
"I AM NOT AN EGG!!!!!!I AM DIVINE BEING AND I AM SURE OF THAT!!"
"Ok,divine egg."
"THIS HUMAN!!!Kuh,kuh human!!You must be thanksfull that that myself have big heart and forgive for your mockery,Now make a contract with me human!!"
"Why you so insisting on making contract?To begin with why you chose me?"
"It's instinct."
"Instinct?"
"Kuh,kuh human wouldn't understand a thing!!!After all I didn't understand myself.."
This egg,I didn't understand her. Just what is this creature?
"Kuh,kuh!!!If you want to know more then made a contract with me,after all you want power right?I would give you a power and you give me freedom!!It's win win situation."
"Why you want freedom?To begin with why you insist to get out this place?"
"Because I was lonely."
Its tone changed and there was sorrow contained on each words,still I understand where it came from. The space around was total black and there was no speck of light except around the egg. It's already amazing it didn't went insane all this time.Still why me?
"Why me?"
"Kuh,Kuh. It is because you were fool!!!After all I don't need to worry that you will abandon me or backstab me!!!"
Son of-,what kind of reason is that!!!!!!
"Kuh,Kuh.Since I already tell you everything could you accept my deal ?"
"No,regardless of the reason. I still don't understand you?After all it is impossible for me to make a deal with an egg that I just meet for 30 minutes."
"That's true ,how about this."
The egg then begin shaking ,soon it begin to crack and a hole appeared on top of it. Then Something come out from it and fall just in front of me. It was a pair of glasses.
"Kuh,kuh how about this?I will lend you some of my power. In exchange ,I will watch everything about outside from you when you using that glasses.The time limit was 3 month and you need to answer by that time.Of course you can accept my deal earlier or refuse my deal earlier. But so far it is fair trade,you can have some of my power,while I can see what kind of world you living in.So?What do you think?"
"How I tell you my answer then?"
"Kuh,kuh. That glasses was connected to me,so don't worry. We can pretty much talking to each other whenever we want."
"Ok,I will accept this for now. Just don't hope too much."
I said that as I pick the glasses and put in my pocket,then egg nodded and said.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Good.Then I will send you back to where you supposed to be .Good luck Lux."
At the same it said that,My body dissapeared and I appeared in previous safe area where we summoned by that winged creature,there was no one else except myself. At the same time the winged creature itself appear..and said.
"You were pretty unlucky but also lucky,To be sucked to distorted dimension on first training.I pity you."
"There was no need for that,I knew you were said that for formality sake."
"You little boy are not cute at all. If only you act little scared ,girl will fawn over you know?"
I snort at her reply,she then grumbling while took out a bottle of red liquid and green bottle of liquid.
"The 'red' one was used for awakening your ability,while on otherhand the 'green' one was kind of elixir and can cure anything.Take it this was your reward."
Before I took the potion,I took out manual book and point it on certain page while showing it to this winged creature.
"I understand the red one but why green one?Wasn't the reward only have the red one?"
"Surprisingly,you were more clever than you look. Don't worry,the green one was reward for your contribution and first clear of this training dungeon. In fact you were really great,some of people who clear it indeed were awakened like you,but they were really slow."
"Slow?"
"Yes,majority of them was only able to clear in last 3 hour where snakes become aggressive.It was very slow compared to our prediction. On other hand your result was better than our best condition."
"We were just lucky."
"Lucky?I doubt it. It was you who guide the team to victory,maybe your little girl and sister prepare the card. But it was you who use it.You were the key,key of their victory.Am I wrong?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Maybe you didn't know but the snake have the ability to perceive danger which were the main reason you didn't found it.In fact I was surprised for awakened people like you working together with everyone else.After all It was impossible fo-.You..You were already knew since beginning?"
"Who knows?"
I already knew there was something wrong with the snake nest and I realized there was something there. I just never knew it was the boss of snake that live there ,not to mention avoiding me.But even without their help ,I would found it sooner or later,they just made my work easier . At the same time ,I was willing to work together with them because I want to hide my ability as best I could. Althought no one predicted this winged creature doing.
"Just to mention,I will remember what you done. There will be no next time Mrs.Angel."
I took my reward while I said it.I know the best,that the crocodile in front of us was her doing. Even if it was set to appear Her smile turned into mischief,then she said.
"I didn't know what you were talking about."
"That's fine,after all I couldn't do anything to you."
I don't have strength to do anything. Right now I want to shift her target to me,It would be dangerous if she targeting Iris or my sister.But seeing my answer she smiled and then say.
"Please don't worry,I have no intention to kill you or anything. I just want to know about the girl that followed you around.You see ,didn't you think she planning something?"
"It doesn't matter.Even if she planned something,I didn't have anything to lose."
"I see. I guess this world have hope after all."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing,Just let me give your reward."
Suddenly she appeared in front of me then attacked me!I coughed blood and try to holding the pain all over my body,then she take back the awakening potion and the healing potion.
"Don't think badly of me.After all it was part of your reward.That's why there no need to worry."
As she said that I lost my consciouness.When I woke up,I noticed I was in a room I didn't know. I noticed my belonging were on right side ,most of them were keychain that I could turned into weapon thought.But there was a pair of glasses mixed in the middle of keychain.So it wasn't dream...I try to wear it,soon there was voice inside of my head.
"So?How is it?kuh,kuh..a angel punch must be painful."
"Shut it.Since you watching everything,tell me what happen after I passed out."
"Nope!!kuh,kuh find it yourself!!"
This egg!!!!!Ugh..My heads it felt so painful,not just my head..My body..it felt so painful.I have my potion taken too..damn it. For now let's get out the bed first. I stand up and then notice my body was full of bandage..It was amazing that I survived that punch.Still it isn't that bad,probably a day at most to completely healed.While I thinking this I look outside of window . It was already dark outside,the city was bustling with live.Based on the height we were on small apartment and this room probably just rented. It must be iris or my sister.
"Lux?You were awake?"
I turn around and saw my sister just opened the door,her face immediately full of worry.
"Lux!!You mustn't stand up yet."
"It's fine,it wasn't serious as it look.Where are we ?"
"It wasn't fine!!!Go rest!!!"
"I understand."
At the same I answered that,The egg voice once again resounded in my mind.
"Kuh,kuh. Weak to your big sister?"
"Shut it."
"Did you say something lux?"
"Nothing."
I go back to the back then tried to imagine magician inside my head,Soon a picture of magician appeared and then I try to turned a dagger key chain into a dagger. It's success and a dagger that I usually used appeared at my hands.That's weird,was the dagger this light?I tried to move around and I noticed it was indeed lighter than before.Seeing me playing with the dagger ,my sister become more worried.
"I told you go to rest!!!!You were nearly died just 3 hours ago!!!"
"Not really,This kind of wound couldn't kill me. "
"Regardless of that,was it hard to rest just for a day?"
Hearing that question,I can only shake my head and then replied.
"Don't worry,I wasn't force myself or anything. I just do quick testing. I know my body wasn't in condition to to move around."
It just I felt my body stronger than before. Still what budging me was that my body feel more healthier than before. That's weird.While I was thinking about this another person entered the room.It was iris. Same as my sister she still wears her uniform.She brought something with her..
"Finally you were awake,What happened lux?"
"Nothing,It was nothing special. I just get into fight with that winged creature after all."
"Are you stupid or something?"
"Who knows."
"lux,answer me."
I turn around from iris and look away from her. I don't want she know the truth if possible.After all I provoke the winged creature for her and my sister sake.
"Do you think it's fine?If yourself get hurt."
"..."
"Lux,answer me!!!"
"What didn't kill me will make stronger,It w-"
"LUX!!!"
"If you didn't like it then get stronger!!"
I was pissed,after all what I did was for her. Yet why she was angry at me!!!?Just what I did do wrong!?I face her!!I look into her eyes.
"What was my fault?Was it to protecting you?"
"Yes!!I can handle the winged creature problem by myself!!!I didn't want your meaningless sacrifice!What you did was unecessary!!"
"Meaningless?You think by awakening,you are number one in the world!!?What you can do againts her?Even me couldn't do anything!!!"
"So because I am weak,you sacrifice yourself. You treated yourself as meat shield!!Do you think I will be happy seeing you suffer everytime for my sake?I don't need it and I don't want it!!!I hate your attitude for not believing in me!!"
"Iris you!!"
"CALM DOWN BOTH OF YOU!!!"
My sister come in the middle of us and stop us.Damn it...
"Iris,I know you were angry. After all Lux hide so much from you,Lux I also understand you want to protect us,but was it hard to talk to us?"
"I just felt it was unecessary.Beside it wasn't that big problem."
"Sight,I understand. Then could you look at this?"
My sister show me a website. It was a school website and there was bounty on me.She also show other website and it says my bounty. For anyone who can capture me will be reward..it even included in news paper.Whose work was this?
"Happy now?Your protection lead you to a big problem. If you bring me or tell us as soon as you can this won't happen. We will silenced him already. But you didn't told us which lead to now. He put bounty on you. The vice student council president that you killed in dungeon.."
"Well It doesn't matter.It just a bounty,nothing more."
"Lux!!!It just not a mere bounty!!!It is your live!!"
My sister face become grim and she obviously worried about me.
"And what's wrong with that?Sister mia just you know,I already lost my human right many years ago. To me this small bounty means nothing.If you felt danger ,then both of you better lea-."
Before I can finish my words,I was slapped.Iris then turn around and leave the room.At the same time the thing she brought by was dropped in the middle of room was dropped. My sister then picked it up and pass it to me.
"Lux,please don't blame her.After all I am the same,I am angry at you.That's why I will leave before I hit you for myself."
My sister left as she slam the door. Once they do that,I turned a keychain into dagger then swing it around,but I stopped midway. I can't focus,Iris and my sister kept appear in my mind.Even now I still didn't understand..why they were angry?Was it wrong to protect them?No human are afraid of pain,so there was no way they hate being protected.
"I don't understand."
No matter how hard I think,I still didn't understand. The reason of their anger..I didn't understand it all.Still..
"Even if they hate me,I will keep doing this. I don't want to lose anyone again.That's why I am sorry,I will solve everything by myself."
I grabbed all of my chain,then jump from the window.I noticed I was in a garden and there was no one here.It's good place to change.Since he dare to put bounty on me,then he should be prepared to be killed.I transform a set of keychain into a skin mask and a set of ragged clothes.But before I could change,some
"Stop it."
Iris appear from darkness with sword in her hand.I notice her presence was completely different than before and feel pressure from her.She then pointed her sword on me and said.
"As expected you never understand why I was angry.Lux,I won't allow you to go and kill using that identify."
"That wasn't your concern.It's just fake anyway.To begin with you sure know a lot about me,after all no one know this identify except myself.Regardless of your opinion,I will keep going."
"Lux that's identify is the only way for amnesty for your crime !!!You sacrifice your only chance to live normally for killing a group of trash?Think about it!!!Is it worth to sacrifice your only chance for a safety?"
"Yes!!Why I should hesitate?That's why please move iris!!!I don't want to fight you."
Iris closed her eyes,she then wavered and said.
"It was my mistake.I never know you fallen this far. Lux,do you think yourself as human?"
"Of course not,I am not seeing as human in first place.Why you asking that stupid question Iris?"
Iris wasn't idiot. She obviously realized it. Yet why she asked me a question.
"I see.Lux ,I am sorry."
"If you were sorry,then move!"
She opened her eyes and tears begin flowing from her eyes.
"I won't make same mistake again in this live!That's why please come back to your own room!!"
"Since you don't want to move,then forgive me I have no other choice."
I prepared my dagger and prepared to attack her anytime. Why it must come this?What is my mistake?Why she blocks my path?I didn't understand. I am confused. Just what is it?What mistake that I make to come this far?
