The unknowing mystery fascinates people. Those who never went outside never knew what lies beyond that four walls. Behind it was a complete surprise to them. The villagers never actually tried to find out the truth that lays in the wilderness.
"I knew it."
"What?"
Loki didn't answer Sakura and moved his legs forward.
"Hey! you can't just go before him! that---"
Even with Sakura's warning, Loki went on and finally prevailing his existence.
"I thought it would be you, Mr. No named hunter." Loki was right about that.
"It's not time to hide your ass. I already know about you. So, stopping this acting and pull down your mask."
The man who seemed nothing like the forest monster that everyone was so afraid of took out his strange crafted mask.
"Oh, I'm a bit shock. I never thought I would meet you again."
"You thought I would be dead?"
"Well, yea' To be more precise, I never found your body so there was also a possibility of you being alive and well."
"Hey! you! Help me! I don't wanna die!!" The crying of the guy who was supposed to be the sacrifice made Loki a bit moved although his entire attention was taken to the hunter.
"You came to stop me?"
"Not really, I just wanted to make sure that if that being is real or not. Now that I confirmed about that im going."
"Hey! Where the hell is you going?! Take me with you!" Even though the sacrificial guy was pouring out his feelings before Loki, He just pretended he never saw anything.
"Not gonna ask why I do it?"
"Nah, I'm not interested."
Loki had turned his back and on the hunter and was going his own pace.
But he stopped on his track the moment he saw wires that were laid on the grass. It was not just for show. It meant a lot.
"As you have seen me in work, I can't just let it slide."
"Oh, you're so helpful. by the way, your work is pretty gruesome."
"That's how it is. You are holding a crossbow in your right hand? Is it even work?"
"Most probably."
"It's quite rusty."
"So, you won't let me leave now?"
"Hmm, don't worry it would be simple." He held his shotgun at Loki's head as if he was about to shoot. It was no doubt that he can shoot Loki without any thought.
"Just stand there. Let me aim.... here got it... Don't move or it would be a mass."
He had his eyes locked at Loki. However, Loki grinned back at him with a conference look on his face as if he had already guessed his steps.
"You're so stupid...haha...I never thought you would be such a fool...." The intense laughing of Loki echoed throughout the forest.
"Hahaha!!"
"What?" The hunter flinched, "D-Dont blab! I know you're just blabbing."
Within a second Loki came back with his serious face without a slight of comedy on it.
"No, I'm not." The moment he finished his sentence the only light source that was the huge fire dimmed. It was rather sudden that the hunter was indeed fragmented. He was so focused on Loki that he forgot to look around his surroundings.
