After seeing the monster, Kaio knew that if it spotted them, it will all be over for most, for a lot will die and he hoped that it wouldn't see them, at the moment, they were all quite vulnerable, including him.
Just then Kaio picked up on something ominous and just then a small creature appeared in front of them, something that looked cute but made the phrase looks can fool you, come through.
A few of the kids found it cute but their parents knew that it was up to no good and Kaio's eyes narrowed as he looked at it.
"Fresh human flesh, do you guys think hiding and having hope will help you?" He asked as he floated in the air.
The creature was brown in colour, had red eyes and two horns on its hand and when it landed on the ground, it grew a little in height.
'If it wasn't in the form of a monster and could have taken a human form, he would fit right in with the kids, Kaio thought as the strange being laughed.
"Don't look at me like that, I only prey on flesh that would satisfy me, you all here are just too weak," He said.
"How dare you?" One of the guys from the gang that was among them asked as he stepped forward, holding a long steel in his hand.
"Oh? Do you really think you can beat me?" It asked with a sinister smile on its faceas the guy rushed forward and the others from the gang, tried to stop him but there was no going back.
"Cover their eyes," Kaio said and the parent's covered their children eyes with their hands as the creature slashed the guy's right arm off.
"Don't get a big head, now, you guys are the weaker species, for some, when they look down on you, all they will see if food," He said as he punched him, sending him crashing into a wall, with slashes on his body and Kaio's eyes narrowed.
'He is right about one thing right now,' Kaio thought as he clenched his fist and the creature chuckled.
"Guys, don't be loud, that giant creature that passed by just now, could still be around, if it finds us, we are doomed," One of them said.
The creature burst out laughing and they looked at him then Kaio clenched his fist tighter, for with every second that passed by, he was getting angrier and remembered the cause of this mother's death and the ones responsible for it.
"That's what you guys are worried about? Well, it's only natural, how about I call it here? See, this is very boring, so how about I make it interesting and let's play a game?" He asked and Rivan gritted his teeth.
"He is making fun of all of this, he doesn't care who dies as long as they are satisfied, our deaths will be their fun," Rivan said and Kaio glanced at him.
"It's true, soon enough, we will just be snack, won't we?" His sister asked and Kaio lowered his gaze as he remembered his mother then he exhaled deeply.
"I am going to make them pay for everything they have done to us and took from us, I am going to make sure of it," He mumbled as he approached the creature, who glanced at him and his eyes narrowed.
"What is your problem? Who the hell are you?" He asked and Kaio looked at him and his sister swallowed, wondering what he was going to do next, for she was worried about him.
'Hey, do you think we are your livestock?" He asked as energy formed around his cuff and he punched the creature, sending it crashing into a wall and it coughed up blood and everyone gasped.
"I am going to kill all of you that wishes to harm others," He said as he rushed to the creature and before it could do anything.
Rivan stepped in and pinned it down using his abilty and Kaio grabbed it by its neck.
"Don't go underestimating humans; that's going to be your biggest mistake, how about we do you the same thing you do to us, huh?" Kaio asked and the creature's eyes trembled as he stared into Kaio's eyes and saw no fear.
"What the hell are you?" He asked and Kaio chuckled.
"I will make you guys regret this," He said as Rivan lifted him up in the air and Cia looked at them.
"You guys, are you going to sit around to become livestock's, huh?" Kaio asked and the people exchanged glances, before looking at him.
"He is right you know, hiding here will not guarantee your survival, you have to leave the city, nowhere here is going to stay safe for long," Kaio said as the creature stared at him.
"Let the kids, look away," He said and the kids turned away as well as some of the adults and Kaio broke off a piece of Rivan's earth spike and stabbed the creature, causing it to fall to the ground, bleeding out and his eyes narrowed.
[Master, you should know, in the future, you may encounter beasts.]
"Huh? This again? My system?" He mumbled.
[Yes, they are magical monsters that may have a core, those things can give you an earning, their core are some of the most useful things about them and depends on the type, it can increase power as well, this world is no longer the same, it's like two worlds just collided and beings from another dimension, good and bad has entered your reality, the surface will change.]
'This marks the beginning of a new era, which means only some place the apocalypse happened in and the others know of it, it has touched them but in a different way, not by destroying their homes but by bringing monsters, changing humanity's belief, that's part of it as well, right?' He wondered.
[Exactly, I am here to be your guide in this new world, there may be things that you don't know and I do, after all, very few are gifted a system, I am at your command.]
Kaio exhaled deeply for now he understood the voice that he had been hearing was the system and now understood some of its function and why he was hearing it but knew that there was a lot more he had to learn.
