After touching the glowing line, information began blasting into Hunter's head. He was instantly able to feel the world and could tell that it wasn't Earth. He also learned that he was no longer human and instead was a demon race known as Kidelio, an extinct demon race born of hell with the intent to punish all sinners, who had a very human form. After realizing his body was entirely different he began studying it, learning that he had heightened senses, far greater than any other demon. He also had extreme strength capable of shattering a bolder the size of a 2 story house, into complete dust. His speed was increased allowing him to run faster than sound and this also increased his reaction time and his cognition so that his mind could cope with the surroundings. In all sense he was a monster capable of easily wiping out 100 of Earth's soldiers. However judging from his perception of this world, he could easily slay hundreds due to no fire arms existing yet.
"Is anyone able to use magic yet?" Hunter inquired as he opened his eyes.
"I can." Spartacus held up his hand as a small flame burst forth from his open palm. "It's only natural since my Divinity is aimed towards wielding magic. I do have inhumane strength, healing, and speed though so I think you just have to practice and create your own way of magic to wield it. Then again this could all be because my Divinity awoke me as a god instead of a human."
"Oh, I see. So you're technically already a god. Dann your pretty lucky there Spartacus. My Divinity awoke me as a Levithian, and it appears I'm descended from the Leviathan known as Agraciana. I guess she was the Leviathan of forgiveness and was in charge of Purgatory. As of now I can't wield any magic however I have extreme amounts of strength and body resistance." Ian spoke up as he glanced at Orion.
"Fine. I'll tell you mine," he gave an eye roll while grumbling. "My Divinity awoke me as an Arch Angel however I can't use any magic yet, my strength is a bit stronger than a man's but I can easily run as fast as sound, and I too have extreme healing. Okay, your turn Hunter."
"I have inhumane strength, can rejuvenate however I need to have ample amount of energy to do so; and I can also run at the speed of sound, like you Orion. I also have heightened senses and reflexes due to my Divinity awakening me as a Kidelio, which is a Demon of Justice. I also can't wield any magic yet."
"Okay, well now that we got this information out of the way and since we're all in the same boat, you guys wanna form a team together and survive in this world?" Spartacus smirked while winking his eye and putting his hand out in the middle of the group. Everyone looked at each other, smiling and nodding before putting their hands in the middle.
"Hunter, you said you had heightened senses right? Do you know which way will lead us to the nearest village?" Orion quickly mentioned as everyone watched Hunter quickly scale a tree and sit at the top, looking around and sniffing the air.
"There's a lot of scents I'm not familiar with yet, but a huge cluster of scents is to the North West about 50 kilometers. It'll take us about 2.5 minutes to get there so we shouldn't need to worry to much..." Hunter trailed off as a frown spread across his face. He tilted his head so that one ear was higher than the other. Instantly rage split across his face and he took off running towards the North. The others take off as well, keeping him in sight as they book it to wherever Hunter's going.
Drawing near the location, the screams of a couple girls in trouble could be heard. Taking a quick assessment of the situation, Hunter rushed out attacking the Feral Goblin that was about to grab one of the two girls. With one punch the goblin's head was destroyed as it went flying into the trees. Hunter began kicking and swinging his fists, breaking off limbs and crushing skulls until all 20 Goblins were dead.
"Hahaha. Damn those filth didn't even stand a chance against you, Hunter." Ian laughed as they caught up to him and realized what happened. Rushing forward towards the two girls, both of whom are dressed in cloaks made of rags. Since they were frozen in shock, Orion asked gently, "Are you two ok? Are you injured anywhere?"
Hunter turned around and smiled gently, trying to show that he was friendly while hopefully putting the two girls at ease.
The older of the two glances quickly at him then away before nodding her head slightly and began gently squeezing the younger one who is still crying. "T—Thank you," she stammered softly.
"Orion continue calming them down. Hunter, Ian, help pile up these bodies so I can burn them. Try and collect anything of value while you're at it." Spartacus makes clear as he began searching a nearby goblin body.
"May I ask what your names and how old you are?" Orion began to gently coaxed the two girls into calming down.
"My name is Sylvia and this is my little sister Quixi. I'm seven years old and Quixi is five years old." the older of the two said.
"Can I ask what you two were doing out here all alone?" Orion gently reached out to help the girls stand up and walk them away from all the dead bodies.
"I'm sorry, but it's best if you act like you never saw us. We really need to—"
"We are running away from the bad man!" shouted Quixi as she clung to Orion while Sylvia tried dragging her away.
"Hmm. What bad man?" Hunter glanced over while dropping the last goblin in the pile.
"No one, it's no one. You should let us go before you all get hurt." Sylvia continued trying to pull Quixi from Orion, while beginning to have a slight tremor in her voice.
"Hahaha! Hurt us?! You don't need to worry about our safety, what Hunter did to these goblins is nothing compared to the four of us working together. You're under our protection now so you don't need to hide under those raggedy cloaks anymore. " Ian walked up reaching to pull down both hoods. Hunter blocked his hands and shook his head. "They're beast women, it's probably better if they keep it up since they're also slaves. We need to make it clear to everyone how powerful we are before they can go walking around with out needing to be afraid."
Sylvia's eyes widened as she looked at Hunter. "H-how did you know that we're beast-kin and slaves?"
Hunter smiled as he gently tapped his nose. "I could smell your scent and it wafts off your body in the same shape as your body; so I technically smell your tail. Also I can smell the rusted caller around you and your sister's neck."
Sylvia slowly nodded as she looked at Hunter closely before shaking her head. [He looks and smells human to me.]
Kneeling down and gently taking Quixi's hand, Spartacus and looked her in the eye, "Does this bad man have anymore people who he hurts?" Her eyes got teary as she gently nodded her head before throwing herself into an embrace around Spartacus and cried.
"What're you thinking boss?" Hunter smiled sinisterly as he grabbed two bone knives from the pile of loot. After checking how sharp they were, he tucked them into his back waist band before hiding the hilts under his shirt.
"Probably same thing as you, however what's all your ideas to handle with the freed people?"
"Wait! Why are you helping us, and calling us people? W- We're only beast-men, savage animals that are worse than dirt." Tears began to pour down Sylvia's face as she looked between the four boys.
"All life has value, those who can't see that are the one's who have no value in the soul. Because their souls hold no value they go straight to Hell after they die. Besides we don't agree with slavery, nor do we agree with you being worse than dirt." Hunter walked up and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Sylvia clutched her hands to her chest as a smile flickered across her face.
"Once we get to town we should split up into three groups so we can get things done quickly. Hunter, if you're up for it, I want you to handle the slavers, Ian and I will go sell our loot and then come and help you evacuate the freed slaves. Orion, can you stay with the two girls outside of the village? We're gonna need a place where we can set up base as it won't be safe in the town." Spartacus cast CINDER on the goblin bodies as he began picking up the pile of loot. "The six bone knives and two flint spears won't fetch any price so we'll leave them for at the camp. As for the rusted sword and the two rusted knives we might be able to sell them for some copper if we take them to a blacksmith."
"Don't forget about the Feral Cores." Sylvia stated as she pulled her hood down showing her brownish red hair and 2 wolf ears.
"Feral cores? Are those like monster cores that hold energy with in them?" Confusion appeared on Orion's face as he glanced at the burning pile of goblins.
"Not energy, cores are created by a gathering of Divinity. To be able to gather your Divinity into a core means you're magic is much more powerful than those without a core. Feral cores are the lowest, than it's dragon, demon, and finally elemental. Feral cores can't be absorbed, dragon and demon cores can be used to help create your own core. However they are impure and can cause a corruption to your Divinity and so you'll find people only use elemental cores to help form their own. The cores can also be used in potions and enchantments so they are quite beneficial. A level 1 Feral Core can sell for 5 silver pieces, with 1 silver piece equaling 100 copper pieces. You don't need to worry, a cooking fire like the CINDER fire can't damage the Feral Cores." Sylvia stated as she watched everyone turn and look at the fire.
"You sure know quite a bit." Ian quizzically glanced at Sylvia before walking towards the fire and sticking his hands in; searching for the Feral Cores in the dried out husks.
"Our parents where adventurers for the Kingdom of Alliad (All-e-add), however they were killed when humans invaded Alliad's border and destroyed the border villages." Sylvia watched Ian digging through the fire as if it was nothing to him. After finding all the cores he stepped away from the fire. Noting everyone watching him, he smiled and held up his hands, showing that neither his hands nor his arms had been burned by the fire.
"Our condolences go out to you, we'll do what we can to help you start a new and better life so keep your head held high and always look forward." Hunter gently put his hand on Sylvia's shoulder, causing her to show a wide toothy grin to everyone before she began walking towards the village.
