Auuuuu...
I heard it very clearly, behind this hill there was a pack of wolves who were already monitoring their potential food, "be careful," said Zenius, he reminded me that I was just an ordinary human being who could become an unexpected victim.
"You really care about your partner, don't you," he looked at me expressionlessly.
Bang!
Bang!
We both glanced at each other in shock, the sound of a gun! Winter birds seemed to fly away because of the loud sound, the atmosphere of the forest became gloomy. I followed Zenius who had taken out his Abyss and walked ahead.
My eyes widened to find that the pack of wolves had become a pile of corpses, the snow had turned red and had a pungent odor.
"Damn!"
Zenius really cursed this time, the wrinkles on his jaw showing his anger. Again someone interferes.
Psststs Pststs
I stepped closer to the descent, the farmers looked noisy while walking carrying piles of goods, i looked at Zenius who was currently looking at his watch. "There's not much time left, we have to look for another wolf pack."
I turned to look around, my eyes stopped when I saw footprints with bloodstains, "if that person wants to ruin the scary story of wolves eating humans, I think he or she will definitely kill everyone, right?" I asked, Zenius looked at me then his eyes turned to the direction where i pointed. He understands what i mean.
"Fast."
I nodded and started walking quickly, Zenius was already far ahead of me, damn spirit! Our physical strength is very different. You can see that man has found the culprit because he has already pulled the trigger, BANG!
My footsteps slowed, my eyes saw a woman with long black hair pointing a revolver at Zenius while stepping on a wolf that had been shot dead.
"The Recorder?"
Zenius and that woman stared at each other sharply, there were only three wolves left but that was more than enough to kill dozens of old men. I glanced at Zenius who immediately looked at me as if confirming whatever I was thinking.
Since when was our chemistry this good?
The three wolves were seen growling but did not dare to move, it was clear that the aura of the two people was not joking, no one was not afraid of facing the angel of death.
I grabbed the fairess and scratched my index finger, blood dripped and immediately caught the attention of the wolves.
"Quickly finish it or i have to replace them as food for the predator," I whispered. Zenius chuckled and immediately jumped down the ramp and fired several shots which she immediately avoided.
I ran as hard as i could while deliberately splashing blood on the snow, "come here dog, woof woof."
"They don't bark, you idiot!"
How could that man be joking in the midst of this situation! I snorted, my legs stepped as hard as I could, my heart was beating very fast, I was being chased by three wolves... im not yet good at using fairess so this is the same as a life and death gamble.
My feet almost tripped over my own feet as my eyes were distracted looking at a woman running up with a sword, was that the fairess?
Auuuu..
Oh damn! I returned to focusing on my main task, i was getting closer to the farmers who were already looking at me in horror, more precisely at what was chasing me.
I looked at the nearest tree and immediately pointed my feet towards it, in one jump i immediately tried to climb it quickly and sat on top, i looked at the three wolves who had clawed at the bottom of the tree as if they wanted to tear it down.
They looked at me hungry.
I took a deep breath and tried to keep quiet because now i'm not the main character in this part. The three wolves seemed to be getting tired of trying to reach me, they turned their attention to the farmers who were starting to run away in fear, even tho they were moving in silence the sound of their shoes scraping against the pile of snow was enough to attract attention.
The wind seemed colder and the snow fell harder, followed by the sound of rustling leaves on the trees, a storm is coming.
If it was like this their steps would definitely be much harder, I jumped down after believing that the three wolves had already run after them, I wasn't ready to see the brutality of the food chain, I immediately ran back up, my eyes narrowed because the wind was quite annoying and the push from the particles the aggressive snow slowed my body down quickly.
Bang!
Bang!
"AAAaargh!"
"Ruunn-argh!"
The sound of gunshots from above and screams from below entered my ears at the same time, I felt nauseous as soon as my brain imagined how disgusting it would be to see the animal tearing their bodies apart, I shook my head trying to get rid of the thought and restrained myself from looking back.
Was this the kind of sight Orchid always saw? If that's the case, how can he survive with such a hard heart or is that the influence of being more than a century old? I snorted, my legs felt heavy against the snow that was coming, it felt strange to lead a murderer to commit murder, it felt like being a murderer without getting my hands dirty, as long as they didn't become a zombie in the end... I'll check it out later.
I arrived at the hill, there were three people facing each other now, a woman who was still pointing her revolver at Zenius, he was also pointing it back, and the woman with the fairess who was raising her sword in the middle as if to mediate.
Looks like they're not Clowners.
"Done?"
I nodded towards Zenius who asked, even tho i don't know how it actually happened but from the scream it should really have happened, "Surrender yourself for this act of treason."
Zenius glared at the woman and saw her opening her mouth, "devil."
Zenius grinned, "shoot if you believe i'm a devil, your bullets can perforate my body as easily as you destroy the fate," he said.
"Doubtful? Have you been brainwashed by the Clowner?" Zenius lured the woman. "She's not a Clowner!" now the woman with the fairess is seen giving a defense. "You're Zenius von Deatje, right?" she looked at Zenius who immediately glanced at her sarcastically. "The best spirit of the Moon Division and the one behind me is Mr. Orchid, the best traveler," she then glanced at me who was standing behind her to the right. I scoffed, she thought i was Orchid? It seems that the information about that man being dead is only known to a few people.
"You know us well then why is that sword still up?" Zenius asked, he had no intention of clarifying the misunderstood situation. That woman glanced at her partner and lowered her fairess, "we are from soil division, I'm sorry for not being able to stop her from messing up your timeline," she bowed politely.
"Why are you sorry!" the woman with the revolver shouted loudly, I can see now the direction of the gun has turned towards her friend's head, crazy! I stepped slowly towards Zenius (using him as a shield of course). "You're my partner, why are you bowing down to them? Just because they're famous and from the top division doesn't mean they're right!"
"What's wrong with you, Francesca!"
"Are you going to defect and become a Clowner just because of your damn conscience?"
