Chapter 9 - Last battle of the Man and the monster

Regin stopped the car at the restaurant. 

then We all got down from the car to eat something at the restaurant.As I was about to take something from the kitchen,"Leo can you please give me a moment" regin called leo 

"Yes,please wait a moment" (leo) 

After taking an orange juice from the fridge we went toward the car again alone.

"So,what do you want to say? " 

Leo who said that observed regin's unusual facial expressions that showed his bad mode so before he got an answer to his previous question he asked again,"what wrong with you regin,are you perhaps sick?or is it that you got some bad news again to say?"

Regin sigh hearing Leo's questions, "nope I am alright,I was just lamenting about how dark can human be when they are under pressure. are they even worth saving"Leaning his back to the car,He looked at the still beautiful blue looking horizon."Leo,first and foremost,I would like to apologize to you" 

"Hmm,for what?"(leo) 

"Listen to me well,after I tell you everything,you will understand,actually....." 

Then regin start to talk about the conversation he had with the government a few hours ago— 

Few hours ago.

".....after cutting our signals,and throwing us,the first thing you talk about is ordering us, without even trying to apologize " 

"Don't forgot your place Mr.regin the day you wore those clothes,you should have already being prepared to die" 

"That is true,but death in the hand of the enemy, not a worthless death like this ??" 

" enough,there is not time to waste." 

"Sigh,let's talk about this later,so what do you need for me to do,this time",{getting angry won't help i should calm down first then hear his words first,time is gold right now almost literary. } 

"This is an order that came from the round table ,so even if you want to refuse after hearing this, you can't!" 

{round table! an order that all the leaders of the world had accepted, What kind of order is it ,from his words, he is somehow sure that I would refuse ,why? } 

"We had made a plan to defeat that thing,but the only one who can do it,is the spear wielder beside you" 

"Is that's it? Why did you make it like I would actually refuse your order" 

"That's because I haven't said the most important thing,if the plan goes the same as we planned it ,that young man will surely die with the monster" 

"W-what?.."

"One more thing,tell him that we will be protecting his family so he shouldn't worry about them " as he said that the call on the other side was cut off without waiting for my response 

moment later some messages had appeared on my phone talking about the plan in detail, {Protecting my ass! Is that not only to make sure leo accept this mission forcefully, even if he didn't want to do. } 

"What should I do now ?" 

Return to the present moment 

"C-couldn't they just had tried to ask nicely,Maybe I would be one of those hot blooded youths that would sacrifice without a second thought, if they had analyzed my course of action they should have found that I might be that type of person,why couldn't they just asked a little bit politely. Why Threaten me with my familiy" looking at Leo's angry face and his extremely cold looking purple eye, gave regin a chill down his spin. 

After venting out his anger on the ground ,he  took a deep breath then said,"have you already surrounded my parents?" 

"No,although all my men were ordered to do this. they didn't at least not for the time being, but even if they refused others will come to do so,again I am really sorry,I can't do anything to help you."(regin) 

"It's not your fault,so no need to apologize. anyway have they told you what's the plan"(leo) 

"yes, they order me to take you to red dot in this gps device "  as i said that i showed leo the Gps device.

"Okay,I will go there" 

"You agree? in this short time ?" 

pov leo 

"It's not like I have another choice", {if I stay they will Threaten me with my parents,and even if they didn't which is almost impossible, that thing will kill the whole world population in less than three days,so I would rather take the chance and see if I could save them. 

{the problem now is my parents,first their feeling,then their safety which is not really guaranteed so all I could do now is to ask help from —} 

"Yes,but could I ask you to do something  for me,Mr.regin please.",The look in regin's face toward me had changed somehow,it become more respectful than it had already being. 

"Yes,Leo as long as long as I can I will do it " (regin) 

"THEN could you please take care of my parents after I go ?" (leo) 

"Is that all? then don't worry ,even if i had to sacrificing myself I would do it, to protect them.", with a smile on my face, I said to him,"although we know each other only  few days ago, I would like to say that it was nice to meet you regin ,and thank you please take care of them when I am gone." 

His eye were a little red that I couldn't help but laugh a little at him" Me too Leo it was nice to meet you"(regin) 

after he said that,he saluted to me .After doing the same,I went again into the restaurant. 

"Mother have you made something,I am really hungry" i said as touch my stomach that was making noice since a while ago, "Wait a moment,and all will be ready,O stomach king" (jessica) 

"Since when have I gotten that nickname?" (leo) 

"Long time ago,you just didn't know about it" (jessica) 

"Is that so ,then who give it to me " (leo)

"Its Ross" (jessica)

"Ross, that insolent... just wait I will make sure to make her pay for this disgrace "(leo) 

"Ha-hahaha,honey take those to the table" (jessica) 

"Yes,mademoiselle " (steven) 

The table was getting filled slowly until there was no space on it to put anything else. 

After they sat we start eating,with me living up to my secret nickname stomach king I ate alone more than half of the table's dishes which made them laugh at me, we had some conversation that I forcefully made so we can talk as this may be the last time I would see them. 

And as our laughter had spread out in the restaurant, time as well passed quickly as the time for my departure had already came. 

"Mother,father I and regin will go to get something from the nearby town,you two and the soldiers go first and we will meet you later" 

"Something important, why don't we all go together?" 

"No,nothing happened,we are just going to bring some bullets from the police station, don't worry about me you should worry about yourself, don't you know how strong I am?", Mother looked reluctant but she sigh and said"okay but don't be late" 

Coming closer I went with a cheerful face toward her as to not make her suspicious then put my hand under her arms then i lift her up.as I did that, i start to swing her body in the air as we laughed, "Ah,what are you doing Ha-hahaha it's been a long time since someone had held me up,I thing that happened when  I was still a kid Hahaaha" 

"You guys that's unfair me ,let me join as well", As we heard father I hugged mother then put her on the ground after a while. 

Turning my sight to my father,with a grin full of malice,"unfair right?", Seeing my grin he realized that he said what he shouldn't have,"N-no....", Before he could complete his words he felt the something touching his legs then after that the world start circling around him. 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh,what is this diffrent in treatment why was she treated gently while you are swinging my body from my legs.ahhhhhhhhh,stop stop don't lower me down anymore you are going to wipe the floor with my faaaaaacee,ahhhhhhhhhh" 

Hearing his screams me and mother laughed loudly "hahahahhahaha" 

◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◆◇◆

vooom~! 

After regin drove me for a while I told him to stop, "Why?, we didn't reach the destination yet?" (regin) 

"I will run, this is quicker ,you also should return quickly otherwise you won't be able to honor our promise "(leo) 

"OK,I will go now good luck leo" (regin) 

"Yes, to you too",after Watching his car getting out of the sight, I start running in an inhuman speed that went beyond the 200 km/h toward the red dot in the GPS device, Running like that was hard at first because of the wind resistance. 

And because of the lace of control I was about to slam my face with trees more than once. after a while I was able to adapt to this speed rhythm. 

○●○●○●○●○●○

freed pov 

Around the same time, a few mountains away from leo's location,A man 27-28 who wore a military uniform with a huge bag behind him, said as he looked toward the device in his hand "The target is getting closer"

"Make sure you stay in an open space so he could see you!" 

"Roger that!",Moment later he saw a human shadow running toward his direction in a very fast speed,faster than ordinary cars. 

The shadow was surrounded by dust  When it was about to reach him,it slowed down until it stopped. 

Freed who was suddenly surronded by dust couldn't help but cough a little, After the dust was cleared he saw a tall young man  slightly handsome with a unique purple eyes in his early twenties. 

Freed put forward his hand toward Leo,even though, he thought that his hand would not be accepted by the man in front of him after all what he was forced to do . 

But contrary to his thinking Leo shake hands with him,and even had put a smile toward him 

{Is he perhaps a masochistic?} .is what freed had thought at the moment. 

Then suddenly leo's hand that was shaking mine had tightened enough that it hurts a little,"did you just think of some thing rude just now" 

"No,of course not,ha-ha ha.",{How did he know,does he have the ability to read minds?,that is not unlikely,after all he could predict all the minotaurs's attacks. } 

"I am not reading your mind,just so you know", {Hiss,he can really read mind,I should tell my superiors of this. } 

"Yes,yes I know" (freed) 

"Sight,I am really not reading your mind,you face is just too easy to read.", {I know,I know you want to hid your skill,but since I already know it I will surely share this information,with the higher ups. } 

"I.. you know what, think whatever you want" Leo said with a hopeless look in his face as he thought,this man is really easy to understand. 

"Then what have the headquarter  said to you,what is the plan?" 

"Ah,wait a moment please" as i said that i took off the ultra huge bag behind me.Then i give it to him.

"??!" 

As he took that huge but somehow light bag In my hand he asked,"what is this?" 

" a sturdy long spear,since the one you used before had shattered , and about the plan you only need to ..."After listening to their plan,Leo wanted to curse. 

he realized that he would need to do all the parts of this plan from a to z and he would get no help from them, {Those b$$$$$ ,is this even a plan at least make it longer than 20 word. } 

As Leo became a little mad he gived a cold look to Freed then said to him,"what are you still doing here,get hell out" 

———3rd Pov———

Freed as if he saw a beast run as fast as he could away from Leo. 

"Sigh",Leo took the black 2m+ long spear from the bag then sat in a meditation stance as he waited with closed eye until that monster had reached this area z{Who would have though that I would have the chance to chose how to die. No! , can this even be called choosing ? , anyway I would have chosen to do this even if they didn't Threaten me., afterall If I did not do this ,I will die a few days later.the only diffrent is that I will die together with another 7 billions soul .But if this plan was successful, not only would I be saving,my family, but a whole 7 billions soul .I am not arrogant enough to say that I have the strongest skill,it's just that my skill makes me stronger faster at early stage .so as long as time passes, a lot would show that their skills on par or stronger than mine, But for that to happen ,a future is needed. And to make sure that future will exists. I will be sacrificing myself .Although I had come to resent those politicians who order me to sacrifice my life while Threaten me, I would not put my hatred toward them, against humankind for such a small reason. } 

"The continuous of mankind's existence is their most important duty", although not everyone of them had the same mindset, as some are only afraid of death,that will surely came to them.sooner or later no matter how much they run from it. 

{ Do I not fear death ? Am fearless toward death? NO! I fear death a lot actually as much as any other person, But i do not have the fear of the death itself, but what came after it. Would I be sent to heaven or hell after my death? .This is one of the most important thoughts that is being generated in my mind since I knew that I would die, I am not like those idiots who appear in movies saying"let's go meet the devil in hell" while laughing like idiots that they are, and some other cool looking lines, that makes one think they don't have anything to fear about the time after death, When they don't even know what the real hell is to begin with. } 

Hell is not the devil's resident.Hell is the place where one pays for the sins he committed,the devil is there as will getting burned just like how those who committed a lot of sins will be burned. 

One would say with human physical structure as long as they are burned for a long time their pain sensory would die, as result one will not feel pain,but that is only wishful thinking, even after getting burned, new pain sensory grow in an instant , then another round of pain will begin. 

{ But now I was given the chance to do a great good deed such as saving humanity, a whole seven billion of my brothers and sisters, so now atleast I could have some confidence in saying that I would be going to heaven, if the lord wants right? },As I was in my thoughts I heard some loud and fast footsteps come toward my way. 

{He finally came} .is what I thought. 

After cleaning the dust away from my clothes I put my newly acquired black spear against my right shoulder.

When that familiar black skinny tall monster, appeard 20 meter away from me. 

the same thing that happened before did happen again,as time was stopped until I choose "yes" again without looking at  the massages, After that I started another round of clashing against the world destroying monster. 

After several clashes between us when I figured out that I warmed up enough,I start to excute the plan. 

from then on I tried to change the direction where the minotaur's walks slowly toward the red dot that appeared in my GPS device. 

After putting him in the right path I start to fight him less and less as I was retreating every time we clashed then wait for him to attack me again then retreat .and On the that rhythm, and before long, we have already reached our destination. 

[Eiliad olaf cliff.] 

A cliff that is about 500 meter tall.A VERY FAMOUS SPOT THAT A LOT HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE IN IT .IT WAS NAMED ONLY RECENTYL. 

After reaching there I heard the sound of two helicopter flying above my head.{ What are they doing here I though I would be here alone. }After looking up I saw one of them was a military one,while the other is a TV helicopter. 

The military had sent a very long rope that reached the middke of the cliff.Seeing that rope and the TV helicopter, I finally understand everything . 

after doing that,my level of hatred toward those politicians had gone up a 1000 notch {They are trying to show the public that they are actively trying helping me survive, when there is no was such a rope would help me!!} 

with how little to none of the public's knowledge of the abilities of the minotaurs this is fairly possible .{But atleast now that I am going to show up in the TV, my family 's safety is guaranteed to a certain extent. } 

After holding back my urge to send the spear in my hand toward the military helicopter, after coming to this conclusion i re-focus my attention toward the minotarus. 

Putting myself in a state of 120% focus,I stabbed  my spear toward it with more vigor than usual. 

Thrust after another giving him no time to use his overwhelming strenght.As he was focused on my attacks I change the angle of my spear toward his right hand that held the axe,which forced him to throw down his weapon. 

"If you could have done that,why wait until now " is the question one may have if they saw my action, and the answer is, while Usually bare handed is always weaker than someone who had weapon in his hand, But that is not the truth in the case of this minotaurs. 

Losing his axe would not make him weaker but instead stronger , since the very the beginning he didn't know anything about the art of axe wielding, so now losing his axe he can wield the weapon he was born with and know how to use it well,that is his fists. 

So  the question now is "why would you make your enemy stronger when you can't even defeat him", The answer is that the axe Is in the way of what Leo wanted to do next, so he got rid of it first. 

After the minotaurs,lost his axe he run again toward me, I on the other hand run toward the end of the cliff .Then stopped at the last step . 

After the minotaru had came closer I side stepped to the right. 

The minotarus who came at full speed couldn't stop in the right moment so he fell from the cliff. 

I who saw that didn't show the joy of winning since i know that this fall wouldn't kill him,so i throw myself,while Thrusting the spearhead toward the minotarus's abdomen. 

The minotarus in the air tried to punch me ,but because of the length of the spear that sperated us he couldn't reach me ,this is also the reason why I took his axe down earlier if he had the axe with him now he might have been able to hit me, there is also the fact that he weighed more than me so his falling speed was a little faster making about half a meter gap between us that my spear can easily cross. 

{If only it didn't have the authority [reality modification],I wouldn't have need to jump since it would die just from this height. But it does unfortunately, no matter how high it was thrown, it would be safe as it only need to modify the reality so the it wouldn't receive any damage from the fall,and here is where I am needed. } 

using the same authority I can canceled his , then used the force of the fall to break through his physical defense with my spear. 

I Put all the strength I could use in holding my spear ,afterall if I was not carefull enough all I had done would be for naughty. 

Before long, and before I have the time to have second thoughts ,the minotaurs's back already have touched with the ground. 

Then, there was no then.

The helicopter reporter that was recording this moment was surprised that she only saw what is left of the corps of the monster's body,but nothing that looks like a human body appeard there,even Leo's spear disappeared. 

even so, the gap that the spear left in the minotaur's heart,was the proof of the it going through it .
