Boa continued to loot around as he continued to add pieces to his armor bit by bit, the mass had grown and he was almost as big as an orc, only one of his arms remained unarmored, he found few more ruined corpses and two more alive people, unfortunately the two of them was already too broken.
there he had stumbled upon an big warehouse that stored various foods , gems gears and gold. he stored them all, he looked at the various golden pieces and decided to use them as an piece for the missing arm
then he got out the warehouse he gathered all the things he put inside the carriage , he scratched the air as he opened the fabric dimension to store all the items, he slowly pushed the carriage inside the portal
after all that was done he went to see the two which the girl had beaten bula to almost to death. he tought to himself that maybe she has gone a bit owerboard but that was the way that she could maybe relax a bit, after all she was raped by that race and her dignity was stolen, perhaps with her future love life.
she got scared when she saw boa, to why was because he wore an suit that made him look like an two and an half meter warrior covered with metal and golden scraps as an armor, he couldnt explain how he moved but her could use the limbs like its his own after hearing boa's 'voice' she calmed down. she didnt ask how did that small boy use that suit but maybe he could get angry by her questioning his powers so she kept quiet.
it was already night time after boa looted all the orc camp , he even found the map to their other outposts and he wanted to sleep after all that happened he took a look at bula's body and sighed, claire was a bit cruel after all, he scratched the air and took out an healing potion he looted and passed it to bula with some clothes
"be gratefull that ım not bad as others are..."
bula gritted her teeth as she healed herself and wore the clothes boa tossed at her claire clicked her tounge after seeing this but she couldnt disobey the man standing infront of her, he was probably an high end A rank, no even possibly an world ranker as he cleared an orc camp all by himself and could talk to that orcs too, his immense power was really attractive.
boa looked at the sky , the stars slowly stated to be visible as the moons shined over the sky was beatifull bu the world was not. boa had never seen the good in this world, he was partially blinded by his past and unable to focus to the truth
all those years why was he so foolish, why couldnt he see anything at all?
well he saw the good but ignored it, boa was childish. childish to the point that he will never trust any person easily, bornegs different. anyone would trust him... just exclude him ok?
boa had an clash in his head.
'ım really strong now, should ı kill those filths?'
'why am ı after the path of blood? whats gotten of me?'
'ı cant trust anyone they are all the same'
'why do ı think that way?'
there was something wrong, after getting the hold of his helmet, something completely changed within, he became cruel and completely shut down. he was not like this, he never held his anger
boa had an sudden heartache but not to the point that he would actually feel pain. why had he changed like this? was it because of the trusty helmet?
boa sighed, he didnk know what to do as he crouched inside his armor and held his knees he needed to find an distraction that could keep him away from these toughts, maybe he should find some friends and form an party? he is sure that this wont go bad the 5th time
as he crouched inside his armor they stopped walking as the carriage boa was pushing that had claire and bula on stopped, boa wanted to rest and sleep.
"we will camp now."
"ok.."
they got off the cart and started to build tents after boa gave them materials, as they were building boa set an fire to the center
claire sat infront of boa and warmed herself with the fire, she looked towards boa curious about what he was thinking
"are you alright..?"
claire broke up boa's faze as he flinched, he looked at claire and slightly nodded.
"yeah, ı just cant decide how to think."
"oh."
logically, claire isnt in the place that she can give any life lessons to boa as she is younger and lack excperience, but she tried her best
"you should listen to your heart!"
yeah no.
"..."
"thanks for worrying."
"no.. no problem.."
bula finished her tent and boa's and after that claire and bula went to sleep, boa stayed awake as he stared to the fire, he gained massive amount of power but is felt wrong, he wanted to actually stuggle to gain his own power.
now that he thinked about it, arrogance had been really quiet
'arrogance?'
...
no answer came. he wondered what was the reason and if the helmet just stopped working. to confirm that he held the helmet and pushed it up, the helmet got off without reistance as the little chains retreated to his shackle. maybe he could get the shackle out too?
he tried to break it but it didnt work, he sighed as he looked at the helmet, the helmet was his source of power and if it actually got deactivated it would be his doom, but as he can see that the shackle doesnt budge he knows that this is only temporary.
but there was a question on his mind that he started to actually think logically after getting a hold of the helmet, it seems that his intelligence increase greatly even if not he possibly started to be able to think clearly because of the helmet, it had an description of "can block an attack from an god if you have to will to fight"
what kind of existence would be able to create something strong as being able to block an gods attack? it didnt even name the god so did it mean it could block any god?
wouldnt that be absurd? to be able to make something like that doesnt one needs to be stronger than gods, even the strongest of them?
then what would that something be?
an existence that is bigger than gods, what would its name be?
boa couldnt comprehend the persons powers as it didnt even make sense to him at all. it was just absurd to think.
and one last thing, to say that it would block or protect him from gods so does that mean that he would face them one day? that would be certainly exciting and made Boa's heart flutter by the tought of it,
fighting gods. that would be so cool
and after all that thinking his eyelids had started to grow more heavy and then boa went to sleep after getting out of his armor, he didnt forgot to put on the helmet and lock the chains also.
