"That's right. Humans are like that. They dominate nature which is still abundant. It doesn't matter if you are very rich, poor, handsome, or beautiful. As long as they want something, the result will not be satisfied with what they get. There is no big heart, accept it gracefully," Latros said echoing.
Several spiders bit the men one by one. While they swing frantically. Spiders that are not on guard, go on patrol. Making sure not to leave any people hiding.
"If they have hurt you, surely they should be punished severely, right? I mean the law of the jungle," Reynold suggested.
"The law of the jungle huh? I'm surprised you said that."
"How's it going? I am responsible for your son possessing my body. So yeah…"
Reynold's speech stopped. He didn't want others to hear or talk about his past. Too bitter to remember. The words just now made people unable to contain their shock. He knew the facial expressions that came out of nowhere. Hope they are saved by a young man. But they were wrong.
Reynold walked briskly. Skip each step without setting an egg and so on. His head tilted upwards. Seeing Latros take something he couldn't reach. A saw blade is tightly stored. In contrast to the sword he assembled. It emits black magic energy. The hilt has three prongs. Split into two parts. A special wooden stick that had been prepared for Reynold. When touched by it, an epuni language word appeared. It says 'The Protector'.
"The Protectors?"
"Protector for the world and family."
"You said this was The Protector? Are you out of your mind? I can't believe my parents took care of you to the point of treating me like a child!" growled Reynold.
"Don't make me mad kid! If it weren't for your parents, I wouldn't have taken care of you until now! Even to the point of having to sacrifice my children for you!" replied Latros in a snarling tone.
"What debt of gratitude did my parents do to you? Huh?" spit out Reynold.
But there was no answer from Latros. He was busy taking care of his own family instead of getting answers from him. He growled. Turned around without saying a word.
Some of them wiggled their bodies as they were tied up with cobwebs. Swing while waiting for the right time to escape. Unfortunately, Reynold stopped halfway. Turn right with a calm expression. The knife he was holding, approached one of the men who were about to run away. Stepping every time the spider's egg is fast asleep. The old man shouted resoundingly. Try to speak. However, his mouth was shut. Right arm swings. He was stabbed so many times that his blood dripped. Underneath, there was a magic spell in the form of a magic rune circle. The drops of blood fell there. Activate the magic. Light shone on his body. The man was dying as a result of too much blood coming out. However, Reynold didn't care about that. He turned his head to one of the men who looked a lot like someone. Reynold opened his mouth except for his eyeballs. A short breath rang out from his ear.
"I want to ask. Do you have a wife and children?" Reynold asked.
"Fuck you!"
"I ask one more time! Do you have a wife and children?" Reynold snapped.
"Y-yes! I have a family waiting for me!"
Suddenly, Reynold tore the net. Surprised Latros with his actions. When he wanted to ask him, the young man whispered something. Let him go from the cobwebs.
"You're lucky to have a family. I will set you free and live in peace somewhere. Once again if I meet you, I will not hesitate to kill you. Do you understand?"
A nod from the hunter. Then, he left without saying anything. Without turning around, ignoring everything behind him. Meanwhile, Reynold walked past the little spiders. Sitting on a rock while clutching his arms.
"Is that the best decision?"
"Who knows. I just let him go. The rest… he will bear the consequences himself."
Loud screams from outside. Screaming for help as the spiders devour him relentlessly. Latros was taken aback by Reynold's action. His eyes were dark. It's like a child who has just been born. Both of his arms emitted black energy. Prepare to train Reynold without the knowledge of his true soul.
Reynold's feet were carefully lifted. On tiptoe, hoping it wasn't a trap shown for him. Reynold approached with his arms spread wide. His eyes peeked there. An open treasure box. Reynold carefully opened it. His palms pushed back. A gleam of light shone around it. The glare of the light shone upwards. Until he almost felt the impact. Peek after the light fades. A new saw blade weapon. In addition, two mysterious scrolls were side by side with the sword. As well as ten rounds for the shotgun. Reynold kept it. Turning around while hearing the sound of the wind blowing from behind. Two spiders protected the silver-haired youth. Spitting out cobwebs with an electric shock.
"Looks like your time is up Reynold and Isaac."
"Wait a moment! Your explanation is still—"
"You have to find your own way. The real destiny has just begun. I hope you will find the answer someday."
Isaac and Reynold nodded at each other. They also vowed to return to the Unknown Origin Dungeon. Not to be missed, Issac ran while carrying three books that were lying on the ground. That's not enough. At least Isaac didn't want to go home empty-handed.
The two of them ran quickly into the portal. And disappeared for some reason. While Latros could not give a definite answer. Especially the origin of Unknown Origin itself. Until then, they had to find a way to make sure they didn't take the same steps as he had in the past.
Tiecia stretched her legs out. Relax the muscles of movement in both legs. Until the blonde girl and Professor Tristan saw Issac and Reynold exiting a portal. Somehow they got there, Professor Read and Professor Tristan were about to meet the two students. Telling Tiecia to rest. However, the three prioritize the safety of the students. Meanwhile, the two youths did not show any expression after exiting the portal. Trying to be cool when meeting the students who came out of hiding.
~o0o~
Reynold and Isaac walked to the right. Making sure no one is following him from behind. The two of them glanced at the students who were talking while whispering something about their appearance. Every time they stepped, the teachers were busy checking on the students who had fled into a room. They seem busy seeing if the situation is safe or not. A smile lit up his lips despite the tense situation. Glancing at his two eyeballs, he focused on the area around him.
Suddenly, the weather turned cloudy. Accompanied by light rain soaking the existing soil surface. The Astraldi creature that had just been killed, had slowly transformed into a human form. However, his body was already in a lifeless state. One by one, the people who discovered Astraldi were unable to say anything except the teachers, busy researching the creature.
Professor Read, Professor Tristan, and Tiecia followed Issac and Reynold from behind. The three of them were curious about the sudden appearance of the two men. And inquired about the portal that had just been discovered. Not to mention, something was troubling about the two of them. Especially Reynold.
When they arrived at the intersection, the two people turned around. Just as Issac and Reynold turned to the two teachers and Tiecia.
"Professor Read… Professor Tristan. I mean Professor Carr. And-"
"Tiecia. My name is Tiecia Kydwelly."
"Issac and Reynold. You must know that it was not our intention to follow the two of you."
The two young men looked at each other. They both heard footsteps from the side. Both Issac and Reynold took the hands of the three people in front of him. Hiding in the shadows while glancing at the people passing by. Professor Read and Professor Tristan were surprised no one noticed. Including Tiecia. What confused them was the use of the black-colored energy from the palm. Forms a floating ball. Blurring the eye every time it passes.
"Impossible. This must be a lie," Professor Tristan muttered.
"I can't believe anyone uses magic without a wand. Truly extraordinary," said Professor Read.
"I-is that really?" said Tiecia in shock to hear that.
A nod from him. Professor Read had not misjudged. The reason was from the magic texture, shape, and spells that Reynold didn't pronounce. Instead, a spider was above his head. Mixing something with his net. A gush from the back of the spider's body wrapped it neatly. The blonde-haired girl tried to touch the surface of the wall. Feels rough and breaks easily. However, the inside was wrapped in dark energy. Sort of expending energy for protection. Reynold growled because he couldn't control it. Suddenly, the silver-haired youth grabbed him. Reynold's arms went limp.
"Say! Where did you get that power from? Who taught you?" demanded Professor Read.
"Issac! I can't believe you have power without our knowledge. Honestly… we feel happy and relieved to hear that."
"About that—"
A knock from outside was heard. Wearing a golden red ninja. As well as wearing a tengu mask coated in protective energy. Reynold and Issac heard the figure of a young man carrying a katana.
"Hello anyone?"
"Who is there? Are you the enemy who will attack us?" Reynold asked.
"No, no, no! I'm here to remind you, The Protector! The place called Edgeville Prison and Aeckland Stronghold had been abandoned by the monsters. Did you guys kill Diligent Prince Waldwin?"
From within, Isaac and Reynold nodded. Unknowingly, a katana sword was swung. Split the shield into two parts. Just like breaking an egg. Wearing ninja clothes, complete with blackish-red beads. Wearing straw sandals. And his hair is curled shorter. The right arm has a glove with three different shape patterns. Circles, triangles, and squares. Everything changes as needed. When he opened his wrist, inside was a letter that was shown to Reynold and Issac. The silver-haired youth opened the contents of the letter. It turned out that the letter contained congratulations from one of the Kaishima clan. Look at the figure of the ninja in front.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Kiyoyasu Ogasawara. I'm here to ask you something. And I hope your answers honestly."
