There was blood in his hand. Red Blood. Peng Hu sniffed his hand, hoping that it was not blood but ketchup. Sadly, reality gave him a huge slap in the face.
Peng Hu looked around and try to find any sort of hiding enemy that was poisoning him or making him bleed through magic, but there was only overjoyed villagers all around him, celebrating the big victory over the Red Ember Kingdom.
"What the... where did the blood come from? Did it appear after I coughed? But... I am sure that I don't have pneumonia or anything like that..."
'Hohoho... it seems that the side effect of granting you a power beyond your means is appearing...'
"Isabella..."
'But I have to say that your luck is pretty good! Sunder's Rule is a very high tier magic. If there were any surviving scouts from the enemy, they would surely spread words of their impending doom... hahaha! Thanks for the great show Peng Hu. It will be very interesting to see what is coming next.'
"What are the side effects... of using such a powerful magic...? Am I going to die? Were you just messing with me when I agreed to your request?"
Peng Hu started shivering for he was scared of dying a slow death. It was the kind of death that he hated the most. If death is coming and it is unavoidable, it better be quick. Also, he still had something to do before dying... which is to save Kai and Pina.
'Die? Naah... How can I let my toy to break so easily? Although I didn't expect you to manifest Sunder's Rule, it is still within my plans what is going to happen next.'
"What is going to happen next?"
'A beautiful show... Alas, I did not expect her to be in this village though... She sensed me. She must be feeling very vexed by what is going to happen next haha'
"Who are you talking about? She...?"
Before Peng Hu could ask any more, he noticed a small snowflake landing on his nose. Peng Hu looked around him and in the skies, noticing that it snow was falling down.
"It is snowing...? But it was very hot just now!"
Voices of inquiry could be heard around the village. The people were perplexed by the sudden change of climate.
"This must be a miracle granted by the Gods to celebrate with us for our victory!"
"Yeaah!"
And soon, the villagers convinced themselves of the reason behind the strange phenomenon.
Peng Hu instantly knew that there was something strange. His body was starting to get numb little by little.
In front of him, he could see a small dark whirlwind forming up, on which a small girl came out of it. Surprisingly it was Isabella.
"I thought Gods did not like to mingle with peasants, especially you."
"It is not like I wanted to. Something unexpected happened, which prompted me appear and save you from what is coming."
"Is it... related to the snow?"
"You sure like to ask question. It would not surprise me if you were to ask me about my three sizes..."
Cough... Cough... Peng Hu could not stop coughing after hearing what Isabella said. Surely you jest...I don't mess with loli type girl... and especially a loli God! But Peng Hu did not want to let Isabella hear his piece of mind. Who knows what kind of crazy thing she will do after hearing it... the wrath of a loli is not something to mess with.
"Be prepared for what is coming, Peng Hu."
"What is coming? A blizzard?"
"... Fireworks."
