Screams of panic can be heard everywhere throughout the whole mall. People running towards the exit as fast as they can to try and escape from the chance of being smashed into smithereens by the monster.
Inside the restaurant where Fred and Eliza are currently at. A monster bursts through the glass window, causing it to shatter and breaking into pieces.
Seeing Fred looking behind her with a strange face, Eliza also turns around and what she saw made her heart turn cold.
What showed up was a Master-type Kobold!
The kobold is quite tall, about 3 meters tall, it has a muscular body that you can see immediately with just one look that it contains a very powerful force!
When Fred saw that kobold, an image flash through his head. He remembered the kobold that came out of the tunnel, the one where he ran as fast as he can.
'Is that the same kobold?' he thought as he tried to get a good look at the monster.
'Wait, I forgot... I haven't got a good look at that kobold back in the dungeon, so I'm just being stupid here...' he suddenly remembered, he was running that time, trying his best to escape from the possibility of being killed in his first dungeon!
As Fred is still about those nonsensical things, the Kobold is already causing chaos inside the restaurant.
It grabs a table at the side and throws it in the direction where a lot of people are flocking, towards the entrance/exit of the restaurant as they are running away. The doorway can only allow two people to get out at the same time, that's just how big it is. With all of them there, it is making things harder!
Noticing the coming table, the people immediately disperse in any direction they can think of just to evade the attack.
The people did not even bother looking around them, all they can think of is, 'Run! Run! Run!'
They did not even see that a kid about the age of 5-7 years old, with a sweet cute look focused on eating his lollipop was left alone there, the table coming towards his direction!
When Fred saw that, his pupils shrunk, and without thinking, he jump, heading to the kid.
Then...
*Bang!*
A loud bang echoed, hitting something from where the kid was standing...
If you're thinking that Fred took the hit for the kid, then... you're wrong.
Fred was still about 2 meters away from the kid, he was not able to run faster than he was already doing to save the kid.
That just means one thing...
After hitting something from the place where the kid was previously standing, the table continued its acceleration until it hit the wall causing another loud banging sound.
*Bang!*
*Splat*
There was a sound like something got squashed, then the table fell. Showing a very grotesque scene.
The previously cute and innocent looking child is now just a pile of squashed, and bloody flesh.
The head of the child is now flattened as if a pancake that just got cook, oozing out from the cracks of his head is red and white liquids that seem to be blood and brain matters. His eyes are dangling down from his eye socket going back and forth, still connected to his brain, using it as a support.
The limbs of the child are pointed in directions that it was not supposed to be able to do. The body of the child is thoroughly crushed, some bones are sticking out from his skin.
The poor child's body lay there.... without breath
A sudden silence descended on the place as the people witnessed what happened, the tragic death that happened to such an innocent child. The impact of seeing something like this is... huge.
Fred seeing that body stop in his tracks. It's as if the time suddenly slowed down, his mind turned blank, can't think of anything. He stared at that lifeless body, not moving from his spot. His eyes shook at the scene, he got the urge to vomit as goosebumps run through him. But he stopped it. And calmed down himself.
The deafening silence did not last that long as a lady at the side suddenly let out a tragic scream.
"NOOOOOOOO!"
The scream is full of sorrow, shock, sadness, misery, etc.
Fred turned his eyes to the lady. Her face is full of tears running down her eyes. She looks hysterical as she is looking at the body, her every shout holds a lot of emotion to it.
Looking at her like that brought some unknown feelings to Fred's heart. He placed his hands to his heart to try to feel it and to calm it down as well.
He closed his eyes, then golden lines started forming words in front of Fred.

When he saw that he gained Gold points because of witnessing someone's death and that someone is just some innocent child, he doesn't know is whether he should laugh or cry.
He shook his head and opened his eyes and he once again saw the tragic scene, that was when a thought struck Fred,
'Can I revive the dead with a Gold point?'
Once that thought appeared, it can't be removed anymore. It started invading his mind and he immediately wants to try doing it now.
'Should I try it?' he questions his self as he takes a look at the people here, 'No... maybe not... there's too many people... it will surely attract attention, and it might get lead to me in the end... it will cause many problems...but'
He is hesitating a lot then he looks at the ragged body again. And a decision finally formed in his mind,
'Yes, I will just that then!'
Of course, the Kobold is not just standing there doing nothing as Fred is in his world.
After throwing the first table, it grabs a chair and throws it once again. This time on the direction of Fred.
It seems like Fred did not notice it but a chair was about to pierce his head. Then....
....
