Chereads / The Slothful Daily Life of a Guild Master / Chapter 8 - Episode 8: Dream (2)

Chapter 8 - Episode 8: Dream (2)

A boy whose not even a 4 feet tall, marches towards this blazing heat of blue colored scorching flame, watching as the crimson blood from corpse of his own brethren, like a water; trickles everywhere, lying from anywhere, spreaded and thrashed as if uneeded.

Crimson hollowed eye of revenge, shrugging shoulder of wrath, gait of loneliness, sorrow and distress. The said boy even at this age, knew from deep within his heart. . .this is not a phenomenon, nor an unnatural calamity. . .But someone is intentionally and purposely did it; this slaughter, for whatever their reason, he didn't know. . .he didn't care. Reason? is there such thing other than revenge?. . .his mother, his father, his brother, are also the victim of this senseless massacre.

Then for his own reason, he pledged, even if his life has been curse to a boundless world, he will judge the sinners, he will hammer retribution with his own hand until contentment fills him. . .

And as a sole survivor, he walk and walk and walk. . .

Kill, kill, kill!! is what deeply engraved inside his head while looking in this sea of blood and dancing flame, along with it is a flame of revenge crawling and thumping inside his heart, pumping his pure soul to a living war machine, changing to--as if someone is telling him: become a slaughterer. . .

No mercy, no mercy, no mercy!! is what his mind trying to tell while puking green colored mucus as smell of fried corpse, flesh and blood, enters his nostril.

Chop them, beheaded them, impale them! Is what overtook his consciousness as chain of world ruling; a chain who abide law, a chain that governs and limit everything. . .he grab them and subconsciously destroys them! untangled by fate and rules from there-on. . .thus, his 'Trait' manifested without him knowing its impact in this world. . .

* * * * *

As the dream are started to slow dim, light absense; lightened manifested again as Luginas open his eyes wide awake. . .this time yet again, the same dream through and through flashes in his head, but. . .like a destroyed record, keeping it replaying from different view. . .

"That. . .business has long since concluded and forgotten, its unnecessary to even dream that thing now oy." grumbling, Luginas covers his face. He knew the business he should do is already done and completed for who knows how many years already. So why it still haunting him? That. . .he don't have any idea.

"Is, something the matter?" not far away, from her horse assisting the carriage, Elle the Knight; the still unqualified adventurer, asks Luginas who is lying atop of the carriage after seeing his eyes twitched open but eye is only gazing distant above sky--a place where not everyone could see. she tilted her head thereafter, noticing him like this made her remember this guy is indeed a bit weird.

But Luginas instead lied his back again. "little girls shouldn't pry others business" from his answer, lightning tinged as he subconsciously stands up.

"Enemy. . .is approaching" frowning, he said so, but too lazy to even give any command, Luginas sighed after saying a word. 3 of the Knight riding their horses feels like a hostile aura are coming from their direction after hearing Luginas word, so they unsheathed their sword, preparing for battle. The remaining Knight, the carriage horsemen grab his sword and shield while Elle, move towards the carriage door. Ready to become her Oujo-sama's shield.

As for why Luginas knows, of course he's not an omnipotent god who could do anything and everything like sensing hostility from far distance? --His companion, the Hyppogryph was his eyes from above and only conveyed what it sees.

But 5 minutes later, the Knight awkwardly look towards Luginas. The sensation and hostility they felt. Its only their subconsciousness playing them and only alerted them.

"Still. . .be vigilant" Luginas ordered awkwardly

'That stupid bird, I'll fry him later!' is what he thought and silently seated while slightly embarrassed. What's more, its only Greed who could use this one-way telepathy. And that Hyppogryph doesn't want to share his thought with Luginas, so he kick him out after saying what he sees. even Luginas knows, that bird brain is laughing his ass off right now after seeing this awkward scene.

And of course. . .What Greed conveyed is all but truth, its just that, he saw it from far distant. . .Not long after, their enemy is within their sight atlast. . .this time Luginas flicked his arm and caught an arrow who wanted to pierce the carriage from the inside.

"Speak, what do you want?" he questioned, seeing the clothed person who nocked the poisoned arrow hundreds of meters away. It only smile and retreated. Why would he think it hears him by the way?

Thereafter, cavalries from 3 direction is facing them.

Frowning, Luginas tried to check any distinguished person from any of them, but he recognize not even one.

"A bandit? not a normal one?" Luginas said so after evaluating and sizing them up.

The Knight escort sweated profusely as they descried by this many horsemen bandits. As a Knight, they knew how hard it is to fight this many people at once while horseback riding --and protecting their princess at that. So deep within their heart, there's only one thing that should do--

"Pave our way forward then!" but before they even try to do anything stupid, Luginas commanded.

"Little , fry what's infront with your magic, you're our vanguard. . .And don't even think on dying. As for the others, follow the carriage and just parry any incoming attack. Don't carelessly think of throwing away your life, you bastards"

Although he doesn't care about others, he don't want any meaningless sacrifice while they shouted their [For an Honor!] annoying battlecry; so Luginas ordered them even if he find it troublesome, whilst other Knights follow his lead as their carriage started to stride forward after their horsemen whipped his horse with all his might and their speed started to increase thereafter. . .

"Alright unruly kids, try yourself not to get killed" Luginas smile wickedly while saying a word. As if, he's rooting for the enemy's safety and not for themselves.
