rustle.. rustle
'we have arrived..
'this is..
they had reached the place.. and they both saw an ancient temple that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time
they can also see many temple statues shaped like monsters
'it seems that the place has been abandoned for a long time.. but what was this temple built for?
'I don't even know.
they both wanted to enter the ancient temple but..
crash..
one by one the statues cracked and began to move as they began to move slowly to attack the two of them
'they are gargoyle statues created specifically to guard this ancient temple..
'is that so..
Akira remembers that in his world the gargoyle statue is just an architecture different from his current world!
'hurry up! we won't be able to fight it all.. we have to go in as soon as possible!
Karina knew that their current strength would not be able to fight the giant gargoyle and they could only decide to enter without putting up a fight.
'butterfly effect! invisibility!
Karina cast a long-lasting low-level spell on both of them that could temporarily increase their ability to run and disappear from the giant statues
tap..tap
the two of them ran into the gate of the ancient temple as soon as it began to close
crash..
when they both ran the statues started punching them both
'dodge!
'kyaaa! he..hey!
whoosh!
booomm!!
Akira who saw the dangerous situation began to hug and lift Karina who was still focused in front of the gate without looking at the situation, Akira who lifted Karina as soon as possible began to avoid the smashing punch of the giant statue
'hmph!
Karina who was lifted on Akira's shoulders only blushed because of the embarrassment of the situation while Akira began to jump on one of the hands of the giant statue and quickly jumped to the ancient temple gate which was closed tightly
due to the punch of the giant statue being very long but strong causing Akira to be able to dodge and move as much as he wanted which was also helped by boost magic
tap..tap
The two of them reached the front of the ancient temple gate while being chased by the giant statue from behind them
'quickly duck down and enter!
'alright!
Akira said that anxiously while Karina started looking down and entered
Akira began to take Karina off his shoulders and began to lean in while rolling quickly
tap..
boom!
The gates of the ancient temple closed tightly as darkness began to spread within the ancient temple
'I can't see... do something Karina!
'fire!
Karina cast fire magic on her hand without hurting her
Akira began to look around and saw old wood and began to direct it to the fire that Karina lit to be used as their lighting in the temple
'sigh
Akira breathed a sigh of relief while Karina began to ask
'look!
'hmm?
Karina started pointing ahead of them which was a darkened road
'something seems strange in this place..
'right..
the road was filled with darkness and dust
Karina started walking to find out what was in front of them while Akura just looked at the surroundings carefully
tap..
creak..
Karina walks and starts to step on something while Akira who remains alert starts to know something
whoosh!
'hmm?
'be careful!
'kyaaa!
Akira began to see an arrow launched into Karina's chest that appeared from her side and then Akira reflexively pulled Karina into his arms
kerchak!
The arrow stuck to a wall and Akira who looked from left to right began to speculate that
The wall on the left was seen to be open for a moment and an arrow was released which somehow was launched and aimed at Karina
Akira thought that for a moment while hugging Karina who was still in her arms
'...'
Karina who was still hugged by Akira was still speechless
Akira who noticed the silent atmosphere started to wake up and saw Karina still silent.. a woman when hugged by a stranger should react by rejecting the man rudely because she doesn't know the man but the situation is the opposite for both of them now..
Karina did not at all refuse to be hugged by Akira as if there was something strange about her.. and that was in Akira's mind at the moment
'hey.. I'm sorry for hugging you without your permission..
'....'
Akira started to release his hug slowly.. but Karina still didn't react at all to that and still put her head in Akira's chest.
'hey..are you okay?
'....'
Akira asked as he began to take Karina's hand and began to release it from his own body
'don't let go.. stay..
'what the heck? hey.. are you really okay?
Karina said that in a low tone while Akira began to look at her with meaningful eyes
Akira seemed to understand something about Karina
Akira began to let go of Karina's hug that was still tight on his body and began to look into her eyes for a long time while making a blank expression
Karina started looking at him too with her green eyes for a long time as she started undressing herself
tap!
Akira suddenly held Karina's hand tightly which indicated that Akira did not want to do that with Karina
'what are you doing?
'....'
Akira started holding Karina's chin while staring at her with a blank expression while Akira could no longer look at Akira
'tell me everything about you first..
'...'
Akira began to sit on a floor and lean at the floor with his sword placed in front of him which indicated that he was tired while Karina just stood stiffly
'sit and tell me your stories..
Akira said that while Karina began to sit in front of Karina with her face down in shame
Akira looked at Karina with empty eyes and expression that made Karina even more embarrassed by the silent atmosphere
Karina did not expect that Akira rejected her without feeling the slightest regret and that made Karina's dignity fall in front of Akira at that time
while Akira's reason for rejecting Karina's will is because the will looks very forced, in addition Akira can no longer feel the feeling of love and want to be sexual because that feeling has long been lost in him followed by his real smile when Zuri's death in front of him which makes Akira's only feeling is anger , evil, revenge and other negative traits that he hides with his false positive face and a thousand identities that he will use in the future..
what Akira is looking for is not pleasure by having fun with women.. but what he is looking for is his death by fulfilling the wishes of his wife who left him long ago
the society's point of view will definitely say that his life is very pathetic but for him he is not the main character like Karina who is protected by fate and god.. he was just born as an additional character neither in his world before nor now.. so it is definitely as an extra character that only passes later in the story of someone who can't change someone's life will only focus on his purpose even if the world is against him.. because he was born as an extra character and that's obvious..
