Chapter 6 - Leaving the Team

D. Chapter 06

When the head of the demon beast fell, the ground shook. The mages removed the mudwall and we went near the dead demon beast. The demon beast was really too huge. The head itself is much bigger than any of us. Looking at the sword in Nagu's hand which is very small in proportion to the neck of the demon beast, everyone is stunned. They looked at Nagu with awe and astonishment.

" I will store the body with me." One of the swordsmen said after discussing.

Everyone here is an acquaintance, they know about me. They even knew I have the largest storage space but still decided not to store the body with me. It's because my storage space and the things in it are lost forever if I die. As for Nagu, how amazing he might be, he is an outsider. The largest portion of the credit will go to him when we go back, but they won't be giving it to store with him now.

We recovered and continued to move. Our teammates tried to talk with Nagu. They overwhelmed him. Nagu was visibly irritated. He patiently replied and quickly ended conversations with them.

" Which level are you at? Why won't you say it to me?" I asked him, a question he never answered.

" You are not going to get an answer for that. That's my secret." Nagu smiled and shook his head.

" You are definitely higher than at twenty fifth step but which level are you at that bugs me. I am not even satisfied with my guesses!" I said to him.

It's been a few years since I am acquainted with him. When I was young I heard about him and approached him to learn archery skills from him. Greedy and cautious guy, I almost gave every penny I have. I don't know his age and level. He sure looks like a young good looking guy, but who's going to believe this is his original look. And I am too young and at a lower level than him. I don't know but if he hadn't seen some of my cards, I don't think he would even care about me at all.

"Stop it, you don't have to guess. It's not something that's going to be kept a secret forever. You will get to know it someday." Nagu said.

"Ahh, okay." Hala asked with soul magic, "You thought about how we are going to leave them?"

" We just leave." Said Nagu.

"Dude! No! Think something."

"You don't like it. You think something."

"Do you think I can?"

"And do you think I can?"

"..."

"Let's leave. That's it."

"You are so cautious always and you can't think how to leave."

"I am cautious cause I can't think."

"Ain't you stupid."

"Ain't we stupid."

"..."

"Hehe"

"Just do whatever you want." I couldn't continue and gave in.

I asked him, "Am not doubting your strength. Here is a secret world. Don't you think we will have trouble if these guys decide to follow us and intervene with whatever you want to do?"

"This is a secret demon world. They should be idiots if they want to make trouble. Even if they try to follow us. They are not going to keep up with us." Nagu said as if he didn't care.

It's been nearly three hours. We fought eight times during this time and killed nineteen more demon beasts. Nagu and I kept our hands. Others became tired faster.

We made camp. It's certainly night in the outside world. Everyone gathered around the fire and are making preparations to eat. The mage and the archer who are responsible for drawing the map took out the map chart and we started discussing.

We went to sleep. Nagu said he would wake me up after everyone slept so we could leave. He took the night guard with another archer.

.

.

"Hala get up."

"Hala Get Up."

Nagu woke me up.

.

.

I covered my mouth and *yawn* then asked him, "You are the night guard, don't you think the other one will become alert."

"He went to piss. Let's leave now." Nagu said.

"Okay." I said and got up.

"Hurry up."

"Okay,okay."

.

.

The archer came and found both Hala and Nagu's disappearance. He immediately alerted others.

.

.

Nagu used earth and wind spells and made sure we didn't leave any traces.

The sky was the same when we came. Dark clouds covered the sky. Everything around us is gloomy and depressing. The forest in front is getting dense.

"So where are we going?" I asked Nagu.

He didn't reply but took out his sword from his storage space. The sword blade is covered in flames, burning red. I could feel the heat. Nagu took out a small bottle, it seemed to be filled with dark red blood. He opened the cap and I felt a strong smell from the blood. He poured the blood onto the sword.

The blood was burning and the flames intensified. Red light from the fire illuminated everything nearby. The sword seemed as if it came alive. It shook and it violently tried to escape from Nagu's hand. Nagu just held the sword in one hand and he looked as if wasn't worried about anything.

The sword was pointed in a direction. The sword seemed eager to rush to some place in that direction.

We used a wind spell to jump on top of a tree. The direction the sword pointed, we didn't see anything, this demon world is dark and dim.

Nagu grinned excitedly at me and said,"Let's go."

I asked him as we walked towards where the sword pointed, "What are we after? Can't you say at least now?"

"I can't say, you have to see." Nagu refused to reveal. He turned towards me and excitedly said, "I have been searching for this place for a long time and finally I found it. I don't want to lose this chance."

I was shocked and asked him, "You are searching for this place? So does that mean you have been to this secret world before?"

Nagu shook his head and said, "No I never entered this place. But I was searching and now at last I found it."

"What's in here?"

"Like I said I can't say. Just wait and you will see."
