Alice and Marco were walking together, Marco was looking forward with a map and a watch which had a compass inserted in, it was a really useful item for traveling, so you can have free hands, he bought it in a really small village near the forest of the spirits.
Alice: So… Anything regarding the Safina region?
Marco: I know that it is in the middle of a desert, SURELY hot as hell, and probably big and small animals with venom…
Alice: Venom? So like poison?
Marco: No… It is called poison if you drink or eat it, and it is called venom if it is injected…
Alice: It's just a small thing…
Marco: If I didn't cared for small things, then I would have been fucked, both metaphorically and literally.
Alice sighed and looked forward, ready to leave him alone for any monster they would encounter.
[15 days later]
They got lost in a goddamn forest, you may ask… Why? Marco had a map, and had a compass, so what could have caused this situation?
It started with Alice accidentally eating some strange mushrooms which caused HEAVY hallucinations, and she ate both the map and compass, leaving them in god-knows-where, and some other encounters with monsters didn't helped, leaving an enraged Marco.
So it's 4 days that he is containing his rage, and he was on the verge of the breaking, so he may or not forget to not kill monsters, or he may heavily offend Alice at any moment…
Alice: How much time do we need to reach Sabasa Kingdom? Jeez, it's hot here...
Marco: No idea…
Alice was feeling too much hot, while Marco didn't care because he was using the power of the wind to cool down the temperature of his body and because he is trying to find the correct way in the middle of the doomsday called Anger.
Suddenly, Marco couldn't sense Alice with his wind anymore, and a giant figure jumps out from a nearby bush.
It was a spider-type of monster, precisely a Tarantula Girl, with a giant body of a tarantula with a pair of giant boobs under the head, and over the torso there was a woman with short black hair and a pair of red eyes with other 2 pair of spider eyes.
Tarantula Girl: Hehe… A delicious looking human. I'll wr-FUCK!
She immediately cursed when Marco used the 1st Gate and grabbed a tree with his arms and claw-shaped tail, then he used it to smash her body away.
Marco: Fuck this world, fuck Alice and her mushrooms, fuck the coexistence, fuck the monsters, and especially… FUCK YOU!!!
Then Marco threw the tree at the Tarantula Girl, and blood came out, if she was any normal monster then he may just pierced her with his claw and sealed her…
But neither Marco nor the Author will touch a spider unless with a scorching 15 feet rod and a 10 cm wide bullet-proof glass separating the two of them. Then Marco deactivated the 1st Gate and walked away, still full of anger.
Some moments later, Alice came near him with a frown and said.
Alice: Why did you kill her?
Marco: Why did you eat the damn map and compass?
Marco said in a sarcastic tone, which made Alice a bit angry, it seems that Alice broke Marco's limit with that question, and now things will not be good.
Alice: I said sorry!
Marco: A fucking apology isn't and will not help me! You could just ask me for food and I would cook you something, nooooo… You had to pick up random mushrooms like a goddamn mexican fat plumber which speak in english with an italian accent!
Alice: Tsk… You-
Marco: You what?! Fuck you, here's what! If it wasn't for that small brain of yours we would have reached Sabasa Kingdom already and maybe even found Gnome! You are goddamn useless!
So what if you gave me the sword to kill Christ?! I could just have made a kebab shop and expand it everywhere, then make both monsters and humans eat peacefully! So what if you taught me techniques? I could knock out monsters even without them!
You eat like a damn whale every single bloody day, I am literally paying 73 gold coins to make you eat for a single day! A normal person could eat 3 meals a day for 9 gold coins!
Then you use my balls as your favourite juice whenever you want, and my dick as a lollipop! I don't fucking care if you saved me from Granberia or anything else at Illiasburg! The moment i got out from the town as her slave I would have used Berserk, otherwise if she wanted me dead I would just have used Berserk in the town as a last resort!
You do nothing really useful! You make me poorer than the Greece with just a single meal, you suck me dry like a fucking Polaretti… Just...
…
Fuck you Alice…
...
Alice couldn't talk, she was looking with wide eyes and an open mouth at Marco without moving a single muscle, they looked at each other's eyes for a full minute, both of them didn't made a single sound.
Then, Alice closed her mouth and looked at the ground with her arms standing straight at her side, she gulped and said with an ice cold tone.
Alice: ...Alright… I will take my leave then…
Then she slowly turned away and slithered away, while Marco watched her with anger-filled eyes and gritted teeth, when he didn't sensed her with his wind anymore he calmed down and sighed, then he turned and walked away…
...But he never noticed that tear falling out from Alice's eye when she turned away, like she didn't noticed Marco's tears that fell in the grass of the forest…
[Later]
Marco finally left from the forest, he didn't encountered any other monster, probably because they either seen what he did to the Tarantula Girl, they seen his emotional state and left him alone, or he just found a way without monsters, but who cares now, he's out.
Sylph: Hey Marco… Are you alright?
Sylph was trying to comfort him from his mindscape, but contrary to Marco's reaction with Alice, which was insulting her…
Marco: 'No… I am not alright… Just… Just forget it.'
Sylph shrugged in his mindscape, and continued to hum something since she didn't knew how to help him. It seems that he didn't wanted for this to happen, but it's too late now, only the author knows where she is now.
The air was getting dry since he seemed to getting near the desert, he was able to use the temperature as a map, the hotter and dry the zone was, the more near he was to the desert, and maybe he would find some monster for help.
But he seemed that he wouldn't need to search for one of them…
A REALLY tall red haired woman appeared, she was really muscular and had a great bust, a cow tail and a pair of bull's horns, she had a white headband with black spots, same thing with her bra and her stockings, she had a pair of brown gloves with spiked bracelets and short unzipped jeans.
And the most impressive thing of her was that gargantuan double-edged axe she was carrying, it was as tall as her, while the edge of it was as big as her torso and her head together, it looked really dangerous, especially when she wielded it with one hand…
Minotauros: Oh ho… A healthy looking male. I'll rape you.
Marco didn't wanted to deal with this shit so he immediately used the 1st Gate and attacked her, he just attacked fast and retreated immediately, dodging a really fast axe which created a big gust of wind, Marco did little damage to her, only some scratches.
But her hits, even if they didn't hit him, they still carried great force, and the pressure of it pushed him more away than he wanted to go, 25 seconds passed just like that, and she was full of scratches which were leaking out magical power.
While Marco was trying his best to dodge her attacks, each one of them was as strong as his attacks if he were going all out in a single moment.
She was getting annoyed from this strategy and roared with anger.
Minotauros: Just get here and let me hit you!
The cooldown just finished, and Marco said.
Marco: Alright, I will get there now…
Then a second tail appeared, increasing his strength, and started to use Sylph to go even faster.
the minotauros didn't even seen him, and he appeared right in front of her, the speed he was going right now was completely different from before, because before he didn't used Sylph.
Then he crashed at her abdomen with a body slam, and made her stumble backward of some steps, before she could even balance herself, Marco attacked again with both of his tails, slamming at her stomach.
She fell in the ground with her butt, and tried to look in front of her, but found only a foot covered in red aura in front of her face.
It violently smashed in her face, breaking her nose and making her yelp in pain, before she knew, something hit her cheek with a loud noise, it was Marco's talon of the other leg, which made a bad injury on her face.
She tried to support herself, but was stopped when Marco's tails laid on her, blocking her movements, and heard something.
Marco: Where is the Sabasa Kingdom?
The minotauros didn't want to deal with him anymore and just pointed at the way with her trembling hand.
Minotauros: I-It's there… Just go forward and you will reach it…
Marco nodded and let her go, the minotauros stood up and looked at Marco, but he wasn't there anymore, as if he disappeared in the air…
Right now he was already a bit far away thanks to Sylph and the 2nd Gate, but when he reached a certain distance, this time he didn't just deactivated the 2nd Gate, he entered the Nine Tailed Cub System, so he would not get attacked from monsters randomly.
When Sylph seen him once again, she squealed in happiness and said.
Sylph: You are so cute!!!
Marco sighed and just walked away as a nine-tailed fox cub towards Sabasa Kingdom.
