Reyana was alone in the workhouse, trying her best to complete the two swords to give them to Hero as fast as she could. She stopped when she suddenly heard something knocking and scratching the door. Her heart skipped a beat and looked at the main door. There is something in there! She shook her head and continued what she was doing.
"No, it is just my hallucinations. And if really there is something behind the door, I know Hero and Simon remodeled the house. They won't leave me alone here without a higher percentage of being alive. I need to focus on what I am doing."
Reyana didn't bother what she was hearing outside the workhouse. Since she already locks all the doors and windows. She even tripled the locks so monsters wouldn't be able to see her inside or hear her.
"This will probably be complete after the last thirty minutes."
Reyana tried to make herself calm even though she had already heard a lot of noise outside. She doesn't want to stop. She needed to finish the swords or else, it may be over for them. The only thing that could help and protect them are these swords. Without these, how could they be able to kill the other red gem monsters?
"Ten minutes more." Her sweat began to drip down to her chest. The noise becomes louder and louder. She could even hear that something was breaking. She was afraid that it might be one of the doors or windows.
After a couple of minutes, everything became silent causing her to stop and look around her. The place is really silent. She wonders if ever the monsters gave up or just tried to find a hole that they could break and head into the house. She then turned her face to look at the swords.
She was staring and thinking that maybe the swords were making the monsters rage. Reyana could feel something from the swords, it was trying to call monsters around him.
"Did I just make something dangerous?"
.....
Hero jumps backward as the big smoke-vine monster wants to reach him. He tightened his grip on his dagger and tried to cut the monster's hands but the monster's quick movements were able to make the monster avoid his attack. The monster makes a counterattack and scratches Hero's back causing him to shout in pain but turned his body to cut the monster's fingers.
He landed on the ground and within seconds, the wounds in his back healed immediately. The monster kept on staring at him as he couldn't believe what he saw. The male smokevine monster could feel something of fear within him since he saw how Hero healed his wounds. It knows that monsters who have healing abilities are monsters with high rankings and are really powerful ones. Does that mean that Hero is a monster too?
"This bitch." Hero muttered and jumped towards his shoulder and stabbed it causing it to growl and wanting to slap Hero. The other two baby monsters who just came out from their mother's belly immediately went to attack him at the same time.
Hero avoids all of their attacks by jumping up and looking at them below.
"Yee hee hee hee."
The two baby monsters jump as well causing Hero's eyes to widen. They tried to reach and scratch Hero into pieces but he was still able to avoid them and rolled in the air trying to cut each one hands of the baby monsters causing them to creak and shout because of pain. He can't cut their hands as the dagger is too small to cut them. The big monster slapped Hero throwing him away and his back received an impact from a boulder. His hands receive wounds and a hole in his right after one branch of a tree stabs the palm of his hand.
Hero took the stick from his hand and glared at the monsters that were coming his way. He ripped off his shirt and began to tighten his grip on his dagger. His wounds and bruises caused by the impact from the boulder gradually healed. Hero could feel that he was already exhausted. Maybe his healing abilities are taking off his energy, that is the disadvantage since this is the first time he uses this ability.
"Reyana. Give me the swords quickly,' he muttered and shouted as he ran towards the three monsters that were also running towards him.
.....
Reyana was able to finish the swords. It has been twenty minutes since then and she took some things that she could use to protect herself. The two swords are heavy like a big boulder. It will be a hindrance for her to carry so she made a box with wheels to carry the sword towards where Hero is.
When she got out, she looked around and began to run however, monsters were chasing her causing her sweat to drop to the ground caused by nervousness. She gasped for air as she ran away from the monsters that were chasing her.
"Help!"
Hero looked around when he heard someone shouting. When he familiarized the voice, he ran towards where he heard it. His body is now filled with blood and some scratch and light wounds, the healing abilities that he had can no longer be used as Hero is already exhausted. When he sees Reyana running chasing ordinary monsters, carrying a box with wheels his face is confused looking at him. The other wheel was gone which made it even more difficult to carry the swords.
"What are you doing!?" Hero shouted. Reyana immediately tries to throw the box to where Hero is and he immediately touches it and looks at Reyana where the monster is already at her back. Hero's eyes widen as he stares at her. He cannot afford that Reyana will be killed again in this second life however, even though he will be fast as lightning to go to her, he won't be able to make it to save her.
Before could the monster kill Reyana, the loud noise of a gun was heard, and two arrows hit the monster's head causing his death.
Hero had a mini heart attack at that time and felt relieved when Simon was there with his pistol pointing at the monster. "Glad, I was able to make it."
