By the next day, they had all started to separate.
"I don't know what to say, but if this wasn't what you were doing, we might all be dead!"
Azazel saw those in front of their eyes, Jina still looked traumatized, while Huzo and Federic were embarrassed to admit their mistakes.
"Yeah, you guys have to remember that this isn't the end! There will still be far more dangerous journeys that will every moment test your weak souls!"
"Okay, we really thank you!"
They bend over.
Then they all went their separate ways.
Azazel approached the cart, Koga's face was still annoying.
"So what are you going to do now? Do you still need me to complete this task?"
Koiga was still nervous to answer Azazel's words, last night's incident had a bad effect.
"Of course...." But, he tried to cover his fear. "I've lost too much, and you have to protect me!"
"Are you the one who had to abandon yourself like the others?"
"Uh… no, you can't do that! Alright, I will pay according to the risk involved!"
"That sounds good, but you have to understand that I'm not someone who would be tempted by money like that, I just wanted to see if you could give me something interesting?"
"What do you want?"
"That's all I can think of, right now I will protect you according to the agreement that has been made! But, if you do an action I think it's annoying! I will not hesitate to do bad things to you!"
Koiga felt pressured by Azazel's words, if he could he wanted to punch him in the face, but such a thing would be impossible to do.
This journey continues.
"I want to tell you, after this road you will find a valley dubbed the place of death, it is said that there are monsters living in there, and these monsters are ready to pounce on anyone who comes!"
Federic's words were still ringing in Azazel's ears, he wouldn't expect this to be the end of what was going to happen.
"Yeah, let's see what will happen if I continue to step up to protect this man!"
He suddenly stopped.
The coachman and Koiga were surprised why Azazel stopped in the middle of the trip.
"What's wrong?" asked Koiga.
Azazel didn't give an answer, his eyes looked left and right. "There are five of them, move quickly this way!"
Sure enough, within a few seconds a terrible monster appeared, a monster shaped like a hungry gray wolf.
"So these monsters are going to eat us?"
Koiga and his coachman were scared to see those monsters.
"What are you waiting for? Quick kill these monsters…" Koiga shouted loudly with a tense face.
"This man shaped like a pig is so noisy! Alright, I'll end this...."
Whoosh...
"Kirisamu...."
This was invisible to the eye, a lightning-fast movement that killed monsters horribly.
No one survived after being hit by Azazel's attack.
"Th-This person, is he really a human? Why is his power so great?"
"Then, we must go...."
The coachman then spurred the horse to follow Azazel.
Koiga looked at Azazel's back seriously. "If I hire him, surely no one will dare to interfere with my business or life, he is scary, but as a human he will certainly be affected by abundant money like an animal!" A grin spread across Koiga's face.
"Huh... what is this? I feel that someone behind me is giving a horrible look? That old man?" Azazel glanced behind him, and immediately saw Koiga turning his face away. "So that man did it, what is he planning to do?"
The journey continues, the day slowly turns into a state of the afternoon that looks bright twilight.
"Sir, should we keep going, it's almost night time?" asked the coachman.
"Hmm… right, now we stop here!"
Koiga's words were immediately carried out, they spent the night there with a pretty gripping atmosphere.
"I don't know why today feels so boring, I thought earlier there would be monsters that came to attack and then give horror!" Azazel had imagined how the bodies of the two people in front of him were torn apart by monsters.
Nothing happened, tonight then turned into a bright morning, the long journey resumed.
"Where is the forest that man is referring to? Has he lied to me? No, the face he uses is not a lie, it would be much better if I was careful, carelessness would only be fatal to me!"
The atmosphere changed drastically, the feeling of goosebumps always gave a knowledge that the situation there had become dire.
"Is this proof that this area has become the location of a bad thing?"
The more terrible the atmosphere was until something happened, the fog appeared very thick.
"This is where the forest of death that that man spoke of!" Azazel stopped. "We better be careful here!"
"Huh?" Koiga doesn't really understand what Azazel is afraid of, for him the power of Azazel is a shield that won't let death come.
Azazel told this because the sensor he was using was blocked, all movement around him could not be detected.
There was only a faint air of life, but he wasn't sure if it was an animal.
"How? Are you guys just going to stand around watching prey pass by in this area at will!"
The bushes moved strangely, their attentions turned to the direction of the voice.
"Groagh...."
A large snake glides to land a painful bite.
"Barriers...."
The target was the cart, the two people who saw that snake were shocked.
"Monsters..." shouted Koiga.
Azazel's eyes analyzed how the conditions inside the snake's body were. "If his strength is this great, I'm not surprised that this snake is able to bring horror to everyone! They really sure can defeat this monster?"
That snake hissed, he targeted Azazel who was standing outside the cover.
"Right, I am the prey you must eat!"
Quickly the snake pounced using its wide mouth, Azazel wouldn't let his body be eaten, from the air Azazel released fireballs.
The hard scales became a natural protection that made Azazel's attacks like useless pebbles.
"Hooh… amazing body texture, I admit that you are indeed a monster with high strength, but are you sure you can beat me?" Azazel's face has entered a serious mode.
