Chereads / Getsu: Surviving Alone In Another World / Chapter 5 - The Result of Ignorance

Chapter 5 - The Result of Ignorance

"What the hell?" said Misa while looking at Nameless, flying towards the big building. She began to wonder, "How powerful is Nameless?".

"Wow, Mr Hero is so cool as always."

"Yes, he is !"

Said the children that had witnessed Nameless flying towards the town hall. Seeing those kids seemingly admiring Nameless, which they called 'Mr Hero,' once again brings a cold chill to her spine. Because he was the so-call Mr Hero of Aza town, she began to consider Nameless's actions. Is it really for his own benefit? Or did the massacre that happened was necessary.

"No," Misa proclaims.

"There's absolutely no excuse for murdering innocent people, yet.." Misa walks as she thinks.

"Are the people and slaves of Sin County really innocents?

"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!"

Said a man that looked a lot like a guard running towards the town hall.

Seeing him, Misa was confused.

She raises her voice to call the man, "Heyy, Mister Guard!!"

The guard noticed Misa's call and said, "Run!! They're coming!! They're coming!!" Said the guard with fear in his eyes. After that, he began to run again, leaving Misa.

The confused Misa then feels something. Something rumbles in the ground.

"This... feeling." Misa put her hand on the ground, and it felt like it was shaking merrily. This feeling somehow brings her nostalgic memories.

"NO!" she said.

"It can't be.."

Misa looked to the sky and saw hundreds of birdlike creatures flying toward the town. She ran and climbed up one of the town's archer towers and looked at the perimeter better. Something is approaching their town. Whatever it is, it isn't human.

***

"HUOK!!"

The Mayor, blasted by Nameless, pukes a gruesome amount of blood. The floor near the window of her office is now very red.

"Trash like you should stay dead."

Nameless took out his nodachi and pointed it at the Mayor.

"Those fucking eyes... Don't you dare stare down at me like that!!"

*SWING

Crrt!!!

Nameless's nodachi had entered and decapitated her head. Blood then spills everywhere across the office from the beheaded carcass.

BRAK!

"Ms Felika!!" shouted one of the guards as he opened the door.

The guard stops talking and begins to survey the area, "What? What happened here?". His face began to show signs of fright.

"Nothing, This one is just an imposter of the Mayor," said Nameless.

"What? No! How would you know that" The guard raises his sword towards Nameless, "You killed her because she knows something, right?" Asked the guard while trembling in fear.

"Now, why would I do that?" Nameless, ever-blank expression began making the guard more and more anxious.

The guard grit his teeth and screams, "You Monster!!"

He charged forward to Nameless and the Mayor's corpse and began to slash his sword at him.

Nameless parried the attack, and they began clashing swords.

"If I were to kill you, I would already do so. Isn't this enough to prove my innocence?" Said Nameless.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP," the guard said while pushing Nameless. In return, Nameless backflips and positions himself at the back of the Mayor's desk.

"Then come at me," said Nameless.

"HYAAAAAHH!!!" The guard once again charges and tries to slash him.

This time, Nameless didn't parry his attack. Rather he slid below the guard's sword and kicked him.

"Ghaak," The guard that was kicked by Nameless, hits the window opening it.

"Hah... Hah.." the guard is out of breath.

"What the?" He looks to the sky, where a birdlike creature is flying above them as crows would.

"Pyaaa," one of the birdlike creatures dives down to the ground and manages to stab 3 children with its nail. Then it flew away again, seemingly to gain altitude.

"What the hell is happening?" said the guard.

"You might wanna watch out," said Nameless.

"Huh?" The guard turned around and met Nameless gaze.

"You!! You did this!!" said the guard. "Ever since YOU so call Mister Hero came here. Our town has been facing nothing but troubles."

In response, Nameless stays silent. His expression is ever so blank.

"You were the one who informed the Darknessborn Army of our town, right? It has to be you... It can't be the Mayor. IT MUST BE YOU!!" said the guard, clearly losing his composure.

"YOU !! YOU SHOULD DIEEE!!!" Once again, he raises his sword.

"It's been nice knowing you," said Nameless

SRRTTT

One of the bird creatures had stabbed the gut with its nail. Blood then comes out from his body to the floor.

"Uhok.." said the guard's painful cough.

Because of the guard's armor, the creature is trapped. It lets out a cry, "PYAA PYAAA," desperate to fly again.

[High Order]: TeraCles!

Nameless clenches his right-hand fingers and closes his eyes. In an instant, his fingers spread, and the building grumbles.

***

People were cowering in fear outside the town hall building as they tried to flee the town. One by one, however, they were hunted down by the vultureling creatures. One of those creatures was trapped in the window of the Mayor.

*grumbles

The ground around it grumbles. Like a mini earthquake, the buildings begin to shake around. Then, fifty meters from the building, a tendril-like object emerged from the ground. Not just one, but four of them are emerging simultaneously. The tendrils move around and finally move swiftly towards the stuck vultureling.

"Pyaaakk"

The tendrils grabbed what seemed to be its neck and pulled it down to the ground.

BAM!

The creature hit the ground hard, and its wing appeared damaged.

FYUSH

A figure swiftly flew over from the window and positioned itself meters away from the creature. The figure was Nameless, holding his nodachi, pointing at the creature.

[High Order]: Enhance Element Light!

Light from the sun began to gather around his body and went into his blade, making it glow radiantly. He dives down, aiming his sword.

"Karana Pathya! (Heavenly Judgement!)"

BANG!!

The sudden burst of light creates an explosion-like wave.

Nameless now stands in the bones where the vultureling creature was bound. The light he gathered had completely burned the creature's carcass, leaving only its bone. Nameless's sword now stabs the ground. It appears that his sword went through its body during the attack.

"Nameless!!" called a familiar voice.

Nameless pulled his sword from the ground and faced the person calling him. The one who was calling him turns out to be Misa.

"Hey, what is happening right now? What are those creatures?" asked Misa.

"The flying ones are Velkrits, vulture-like monsters that use their nails to stab their prey. While the ones on the ground are Cavalaries of Orcs led by Darkan," said Nameless.

"Darkan? That name sounds familiar."

"It's the name of the 4th Tartarean. One of the Lords that governs the Darknessborn Empire," Nameless answers while looking out to the sky.

"It's best if you go home now," said Nameless.

"Why?"

Nameless looked at her and said, "More and more creatures are coming. It would be wise for you to retreat."

Misa then looked down. She felt very helpless, not knowing how to help anyone in Aza town.

"It's not your fault," said Nameless.

"What?" Misa asks with her teary eyes.

"I said it's not your fault," said Nameless while gazing straight at her. His face was ever so emotionless. However, Misa felt his feelings of concern and began to feel better. "I won't dictate your decision. Do whatever you like," Nameless then flew again quickly to the air. He approached the herds of the Velkrits with one hand readying his sword while the other readying to launch another blast of light.

Then...

Out of nowhere, an arrow of light from the ground quickly moves. It is peculiar since it didn't hit any of the Velkrits. Like it was searching for another target. It was soon too late. The arrow of light had hit Nameless's figure, creating a devastating explosion around the air.

"No... NAMELESS!!!!" Misa screamed.
