Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

I knew that I have no chance against Khuf as he seems stronger than me. I quickly throw my conjure sword on Khuf as I quickly hide myself in the nearby tree.

"Hell, if your sword gonna stop me, I'm going to kill you kid by sundown."

He started to laugh but stop laughing afterwards.

"I really don't like hide and seek games as it for coward only, but sadly I'm good at this and I already found you."

I quickly pull my head down behind the tree that I been hiding and press my back onto it as I trying to breathe as silently as possible.

After I took a deep breathe and appear calmly as possible on his sight. I step out of my hiding spot and go into the clearing, facing Khuf for real this time.

"Who are you calling me a coward?" I ask with some bravery to Khuf.

Khuf pauses for a bit as he began to notice something about Eiron.

"You also The Exiled God Child?" he says, finally. He tried to keep his composure when asking his question, but the tremor in his voice betrayed him. He feels afraid.

His sudden changing of attitude was rather unexpected. The mystery Exiled God, Enoes is one reasons that I have not been killed by him already.

"Time has changed, brother! I'm still going to kill you or would you rather begging me for mercy! I bet I will have so much fun today, one step to become more powerful."

"That's funny thing you said there," I tell him. "That's almost the same thing the other child told me. Before I kill them with my sword ShadowMar."

Khuf that about to kill me suddenly stop moving. He is looking at me quite intently, without averting his eyes for a second.

"You're bluffing," Khuf said. He began to notice that the sword that I throw upon him is missing and reappear back at my hand.

"I guess there's only one way to find out then," I tell him, as my heart began to pound very hard and ready my battle stances.

The few seconds of silence that followed felt like the longest seconds in my entire life. After the long pause, Khuf started to say :

"You're in luck this time. I'm feeling merciful today and I have many experiments to do, I'm just going to retrieve the sample from this Arch-Spider corpse."

"You do that and you'll regret it," I say as I don't want anyone become a monster again.

My last sentence seems to have struck in him and taken him aback.

"What, are you kidding me? You're going to stop me to retrieve my experiment sample?"

"If I have to. Do I have to?"
