Pete started to worry about jack and said,
"Jack's life is in danger, I have to go "
.
Morsh said,
"How can you be so sure "
.
Pete said,
"I can feel it "
.
Morsh thought,
'It's probably because of the contract, well it's useless now as Jack is going to die at any moment '
.
Morsh then said,
"So, what can you do about it, if something can kill Jack, it can easily kill you "
.
Pete said with a determined expression,
"No I am a hero and saving people is my responsibility "
.
Morsh said,
"Do you even know where he is right now "
.
Pete pointed toward the direction of the Doro village and said,
"I can feel it, He is in that direction and I am not sure if I can make it in time but I have to atleast try"
Pete then paced toward the Doro village,
Morsh thought,
'It will be troublesome if he gets there before Jack dies '
Morsh then concentrated on the dark poison he left inside Jack body,
After couple of seconds Morsh could feel the direction of the poison and how much it has affected Jack,
'Hmm... Jack should die in 30 minutes, so I don't have to worry about it, but this is good, I can use dark smoke as a tracker on my targets '
.
Pete was running toward the Doro village while thinking,
'Wait for me master, I will be there in no time '
.
Pete ran nonstop for half an hour and suddenly a golden light shone from his body,
The master disciple contract came out form his soul, dimmed and get back in his soul,
"Noooo..... "
.
Pete started crying as he was running, after few steps he gradually stopped and fell to his knees crying,
"Master... I... I am... sorry, I was not there for you "
.
Morsh looked at Pete while thinking,
'Is it possible to call back dark energy from afar '
.
Morsh then called back dark smoke,
'Ohh... it's coming back... This is convenient '
.
Morsh then said to the crying Pete,
"Hey don't cry like this for someone you just met "
.
Pete angrily said,
"What do you mean by just met... we had a special relationship "
.
Morsh said,
"Don't say it like this otherwise people will get the wrong idea "
"And it's true that you just met him, if not then tell me anything about him other than his name "
.
Pete couldn't answer the question as its true that he doesn't know anything about Jack,
Pete cried for a bit and said,
"He was our master "
.
Morsh said,
"He was your master not mine "
.
Pete said,
"How can you say this "
.
Morsh thought for a moment and said,
"Hey Pete, I think you have been fooled "
.
Pete was confused and said,
"What do you mean "
.
Morsh said,
"I mean that the contract you made with Jack had something that is making you feel this way "
.
Pete said angrily,
"What kind of nonsense you are spouting "
.
Morsh said,
"Think about it, will you ever cry like this for a stranger "
.
Pete anger increased and he punched the ground and said,
"He was my master not a stranger, if you say these types of things again, I will take the full control of the body even in night"
.
Morsh smiled and said inwardly,
'So the bitch Goddess has given him a way to take control over the body '
Morsh said,
"I am telling you this for your own good, that son of a bitch Jack has manipulated you "
.
Pete said,
"Don't abuse my master, this is your final warning... and how can my master manipulate me in one meeting "
.
Morsh smiled and said,
"So how can you be this sad for someone you met only once "
.
A sudden realization dawn upon Pete and he puts his hands on his head,
"What is going on... why am I like this "
.
Morsh said,
"Don't make any soul contract from now on "
.
Pete's mind was complete mess as he started feeling massive amount of pain all of a sudden,
"Ahhhhhhhh.... "
.
Morsh said,
"Pete what's happening "
.
Pete was feeling like his head was going to burst,
After feeling massive amount of pain for half an hour Pete lost unconscious,
.
As soon as Pete lost consciousness, Morsh took over the body and felt the pain in his head,
"Argh... what is this pain "
.
Morsh felt some residue pain from Pete and he quickly released some healing dark smoke and soon the pain was gone,
"Just what kind of contract was that... I think it messes with the head of the people "
"Let's check just where this contract effects "
.
Morsh engulfed himself in dark energy and circulated dark energy inside the body,
"Hmm... there are no signs of contract inside the body... "
"It seems the contract effects the soul "
.
Morsh then flowed his dark energy into Pete's soul space,
"Just what is this "
.
Morsh saw the golden space and Morsh floating in the center and something hovering over his head,
There was a magic circle hovering over Pete's which looked exactly like master disciple contract,
.
Morsh said,
"Hmm it seems like I have to devour that thing "
.
Morsh then sent the dark energy and the dark energy engulfed the contract,
After couple of seconds the dark energy left the contract and the contract shattered,
"I got a lot of golden energy from the contract "
.
Morsh then called back the dark energy and as soon as the dark energy came back, Morsh soul strengthened in considerable amount,
"Now let's head toward the Lotus city "
.
Morsh just had walked a few steps and he suddenly found himself in his dark soul space,
"Huh... why am I here"
.
Pete had taken over the body and said,
"Huh... my pain has suddenly gone... but when did I stood up "
.
Morsh realized that Pete had taken over the body,
'So, if Pete lost consciousness, I took over for the time he has lost consciousness '
.
Morsh looked at the screen and saw Pete and said with a sinister smile,
"Pete the contract was affecting you and making you mad "
.
Pete remembered what he has been doing until now and said,
"So, what's I have doing until now was the effect of the contract "
.
Morsh said,
"Yes, and it took all of my divine power to take care of the contract "
.
Pete was shocked when he heard this and said,
"What do you mean it took all of your divine power "
.
Morsh was still smiling sinisterly and said,
"I mean I used all of my divine power to cure you "
.
Pete said,
"What will happen to you now "
.
Morsh said,
"Now I cannot become a hero "
.
Pete was confused and said,
"You are also a hero "
.
Morsh said,
"Yes but I was the hero candidate for a different world and the god of that world sent me to gain experience from a great hero "
"But alas I can't be a hero anymore "
.
Pete said with teary eyes,
"You did this for me... how can I ever repay you "
Morsh stopped smiling and said with a sad voice,
"I just want to experience the adventures of the greatest hero "
.
Pete wiped his tears when he heard this and said with a determination in his eyes,
"I will show you the greatest adventure of all time..."
.
Morsh said inwardly,
'You are too easy to fool Pete '
.
Pete remembered what goddess had told him and said,
"Morsh then why did the goddess told me that you are a bad guy "
.
Morsh cursed the goddess inwardly,
'You bitch of a goddess... '
.
Morsh then said,
"Hey keep it down, my world's god has sent me in secret so that's why the Goddess think I am bad guy "
.
Pete said,
"Ahhh... so that was the case "
.
Morsh said,
"Don't tell anyone that you ever had a master"
.
Pete nodded and sat down under a tree shade,
"I am going to sleep for a moment "
.
Morsh thought,
'Just what kind of guy sleeps in the forest without someone on guard'
.
After some time the dark energy reached the sleeping Pete and entered his body and then headed to Morsh's soul space,
Morsh absorbed the dark energy and the Jack's soul,
.
*At noon * .
"Hey wake up "
.
Pete heard a voice and felt that someone shaking him,
Pete woke up and saw a person in a metal armor,
"Who are you "
The soldier said,
"We are from lotus city and heading toward Doro village but why are you sleeping in the middle of a forest "
.
Pete completely woke up when he heard this and looked around and saw,
Hundreds of soldiers wearing metal armor and holding spears and swords and some were in horses in front,
Pete was shocked when he saw the soldiers and said,
"I was also heading toward Doro village and was tired so I fell asleep "
.
A middle aged man riding a horse came close to Pete and said,
"What were you doing in the forest "
.
Pete said,
"I had a quest to deliver a letter, and I lost the way when I was running away from orcs "
.
The middle aged man said,
"How many orcs were there "
.
Morsh said,
"Hey say that you saw more than hundred orcs in the forest "
.
Pete nodded and said,
"I saw more than hundred orcs in the forest "
The middle aged man said,
"Kid you are quite lucky "
.
Pete was confused when he heard this and said,
"What do you mean "
.
The middle aged man said,
"Your village was attacked by the orcs last night and we are going there as a reinforcement "
.
Pete started shaking with shock,
The middle aged man saw this and said,
"You can come with us if you want, I am sure the villagers have evacuated in time "
.
Pete calmed down after hearing this,
"Let's go, I will come with you "
The middle aged man nodded and then goes back to the front of soldiers,
He gave the signal and the soldiers started walking,
Pete followed the soldiers from behind,
.
*Four hours later *
.
They reached the entrance of the village,
The middle aged man shouted,
"Stop "
.
All the soldiers stopped, then the middle aged man said loudly,
"We have reached the Doro village... stay on guard "
.
The soldiers then unsheathed their swords and tightened their grips on spears,
Pete walked up to the middle aged man and said,
"Sir do you have any extra sword "
.
The middle aged man looked Pete up and down and ordered a soldier,
"Give him a sword "
.
The soldier bowed and took out a sword from the back of a horses and gave it to Pete,
The middle aged man then unsheathed his sword and said loudly,
"Let's go... "
.
All of the soldiers started running toward the village, the middle aged man was in front with the other horse riders,
Pete was shocked when he saw all the soldiers suddenly started running and said,
"Please be alive...! "
.
Pete then started running in his full speed,
He crossed the soldiers and was running after the horses,
.
The middle aged man looked back and saw Pete was running ahead of his soldiers and said,
"Hmm... this kid surely is talented... he can surely hold himself in a fight "
.
They reached the market of the village and saw,
Some buildings were half destroyed and some were fully destroyed,
The villagers were cut in half and birds were eating their bodies,
.
Pete vomited seeing the scene,
The middle aged man than ordered the soldiers,
"Go around the village and check if someone's alive "
.
The soldiers then spread around the village and started searching and calling if someone replies,
The middle aged man looked at Pete who was vomiting and said,
"Looks like you haven't killed anyone yet "
.
After some time Pete calmed down and said angrily,
"I will kill whoever did this "
.
The middle aged man looked at the half cut corpses said,
"This is work of orcs but something strange about these orcs "
"These orcs have sharpened weapons that can cut through a human without a problem "
.
Pete said,
"What is weird about this "
.
The middle aged man said,
"Orcs lives in forest so they don't have that much sharp weapons "
.
The soldiers have returned until then and one of the soldier bowed and said,
"There are no survivors Lieutenant"
.
The middle aged man sighed and looked at Pete,
"I guess your family also "
.
Morsh said to Pete before he could answer,
"Pete say that you don't have anyone in this world and you were living alone"
.
Pete said,
"Don't worry sir I lived alone as I don't have anyone in this world "
.
The middle aged man looked at Pete and said,
"Kid you can come to Lotus city, The city will help you for some days as a sole survivor of the village"
.
The middle aged man then said loudly to the soldiers,
"Burn all the corpses then come to the exit of the village "
.
The middle aged man then said to Pete,
"Follow me kid... I know something that can lighten up your mood "
.
They then headed toward the exit of the village,
