[91st day of 1021]
Yusoph had already continued walking along with Dea on the path to Za'astaroz Village.
Both of them had been weakened due to a sudden calamity that appeared out of nowhere.
"Are we getting closer to your Village?" Dea asked Yusoph.
"Yeah, we're almost there." He said and he added, "We need to hurry up or else the Evil God of Bones will get us.".
"If only we brought along the carriage we would not be as exhausted like this." Dea mumbled.
"No, it's not possible because recently I saw that the carriage had been completely destroyed and the animal mysteriously went missing." Yusoph said to Dea.
"Sorry I didn't know about that." She replied.
Both of them stopped having a conversation and rather focused on the direction they have been traveling.
After a moment had passed, a black portal started to appear out of nowhere in the back of Yusoph and Dea.
Yusoph had sensed the fluctuation of the unknown energy at their back and he consciously turned his head at where the fluctuation came from.
He saw an ominous gate, dyed in black color which was composed of different bones.
Yusoph quickly grabs Dea's hand and said "Dea! Hurry! The Evil God is here" while looking at the ominous gate.
Dea also looked at her back and she saw the same thing that Yusoph had been looking at.
The gate had started opening slowly, when Yusoph saw this, he immediately cast another "flight" magic spell on the both of them.
Yusoph and Dea had started soaring to the sky but a thousand bone hands had been freed on the gate.
Both Yusoph and Dea had been reached by a number of bone hands but Dea had taken the initiative of freeing Yusoph against a number of bone hands who had been stopping him from reaching the sky.
Dea activated her skill "Defense is Offense" and her shield had become a massive sword.
"Defense is Offense" is a skill that she learned from her father, it's an exclusive skill of Dwarves who specializes in fighting rather than crafting and one of them is Dea's father.
"Defense is Offense" sacrifices the defensive power of the wielder to convert them into attack/offensive power.
Dea grabs her shield which already had turned into a massive sword and she slashed tens and hundreds of bone hands which continuously stops them, especially the bone hands that stopped Yusoph from soaring into the sky.
After the many slashes that came from Dea, she successfully freed Yusoph from the shackles of the Bone hands.
The gate had been fully opened and what it meets them was a huge skull of the Evil God.
"Go!" is the only thing that he can hear from Dea.
"Dea! No!" Yusoph shouted these words at Dea.
"Don't be a stubborn Mage! Head towards your village and save the lives of many more people than myself." Dea madly shouted at the stubborn mage in the sky.
"But…" he wanted to argue with Dea.
"Yusoph! No, buts! Please stop being stupid!" Dea was really Furious at the stupid emotional influx of Yusoph.
"Go!!!" she added angrily.
Yusoph wiped his tears with his hands and he followed the intentions of Dea.
Yusoph continued soaring to the sky that leads to Za'astaroz Village with a tiny amount of his mana reserve left.
One hour had passed in soaring through the sky and he can finally see a number of shelters on the ground, he knew that he was already within the Za'astaroz Village.
He slowly headed towards the surface but his mana reserve had been fully used.
Yusoph had fallen towards the ground and it caused a mini shockwave on the surface.
Now, Yusoph had started crawling from the pit that had been made due to his fall.
Many villagers had started panicking at what had fallen into their Village.
The villagers saw Yusoph and they immediately helped him to stand up from the ground.
The villagers had known Yusoph for a long time due to being Mary's husband and of course, being the only seventh circle mage in the village.
Many villagers also had thought of what monster was possibly able to make a seventh-circle mage looked like this?
There are some villagers who already had thought of leaving the village because even Yusoph who was one of the strongest entities within the village was in a really dire situation right now.
"Please… leave… the… Village…" Yusoph said to the villagers.
"Evil…God… please evacuate from this village as fast as you can!" he shouted these words in the middle of the crowd.
The villagers' faces became paler and paler as soon as they realized that Yusoph had not been lying.
The crowd started panicking to prioritize their own lives over the others.
There's only a small number of inhabitants in the Za'astaroz Village that's why there's no large commotion happening.
The ones who supported Yusoph in standing up luckily did not panic, instead, they continuously helped Yusoph in reaching his household.
Mary currently looks at Rubick who had been reading a book and she started to hear some small commotion on their window.
She headed towards the window and she saw her husband which was Yusoph who had been supported by some of the villagers on both sides.
Mary can visibly see the fatigue on her husband's face and her heart immediately sank unknowingly.
Rubick had taken a glance at her mother and he was quite confused because Mary's face had abruptly changed until he can see his mother who immediately went towards their household door and open it.
Mary runs to where Yusoph had been and she immediately helped her husband by putting his left arm into her neck and they slowly went inside their house.
Mary carefully laid Yusoph on their bed and she hurriedly get some piece of cloth and some water to rub the soiled body of her husband.
Rubick saw the condition of his father and he was really concerned about it.
He is just three years old and he has to act like a three-year-old.
Rubick went towards his mother who had been continuously wiping the body of Yusoph, and he asked "…
