A group of men were drinking beers with ladies around them, touching their bodies, and others enjoying themselves in pleasure. They were dancing and laughing to their heart's content. "Oh yeah! Let's have some fun! Fvck monsters, they cannot eat us thanks to the She Monster!"
People began to uproar, cheering, and shouting in agreement with what the guy shouted. Aamon shook his head and immediately went to where their boss was. He looked at him and saw him kissing with a lady sitting on his lap, when his boss started to sense him, he stopped and pushed the lady a bit to look at Aamon.
"So, what's your report?"
"Sir Pancho's new member is a monster. We don't know where he got his power, he had no markings that he eats purple gems just like our Elites."
His boss' eyes began to start turning purple which caused him to feel nervous but he didn't let him see that he was afraid of him. "What do you mean by "his power?"
"His eyes were black and dark whereas yours and the Elites are purple." His boss' eyebrows raised in confusion. He then told the woman sitting on his lap to move out and just wait for him outside.
"Come closer to me, Aamon. It seems like we will be having a conversation seriously once again."
On Hero's side, they were able to take six bags of different colored gems. Blue and orange gems. Hero was also able to gain red gems, five at most which he chose to keep to himself. He just decided to let it used it for Simon and Peitho's weapon. The more the weapon has many red gems the more it is powerful, especially if it is purple gems however, monsters with purple gems are rare and really hard to kill.
"Let's stay put, it's already seven in the evening. We should stay quiet until sunrise because the monsters at night are much stronger than the ones during the day," said Hero. The three of them nodded, carrying two bags as they walked to the place Hero had directed them to.
The three guys now started eating what they carried from their bags while Hero was consuming the five red gems that he had. Since his body is already used to consuming energy from red gems, it only takes thirty minutes for him to finish.
He opened his eyes and looked at his fist, clearly feeling how the energy made him stronger. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.
'Even with this strong body, I know I still can't catch up with the Monster Queen's power. There are still so many energies I need to take to get stronger but for now, this is almost good to fight against Valerie or even that monster that almost killed Simon.'
"Ahm, sir Hero." One of them speaks causing Hero to look at him. "We love to ask you about how gems work. The two groups already formed an Elite Group which consists of people who have great powers that a normal human don't have. How does it work? You know, we also want to know how to have that to protect our families."
Hero continued to stare at them which made the three a bit comfortable. They looked at each other before turning their eyes to look at Hero again. "Is it not allowed to tell it to everyone?"
"It's not like that, having great powers comes a great responsibility and accepting great consequences." All of them were silent and let Hero continue what he was saying. "This means, that to have those great powers you are ready to die. You are ready to sacrifice your life because consuming those gems will lead you to death or you'll become a monster like them."
They don't have words to speak. They were silent after he said that when one of them dared to break the silence. "Is there any way we could have that power without risking something?" Hero stood up and faced them properly.
"Nothing in this world is free; everything you want comes with a price. Even if there is another option, you never know what the future holds. Things might turn out okay, or you could end up as the servant of the Monster Queen. Have you heard of her?"
All of them shook their head in response. "Is there something like that?"
"Who do you think is the monster who was controlling all of them?" All of them were silent once again and didn't try to speak. "Let us rest for now so we can have the energy to fight them and so we can get home safely."
It is already five in the morning, Hero is at the rooftop of the house where they are sleeping for the night. He looks at the sun slowly rising. Monsters began to rise and lurk around. Even though Hero knew that he already had wiped out almost half of the gigantic spiders, he still couldn't believe that they're still so many of them. Not just them but the other monsters as well.
"Hmm, once Valerie will be killed. I want to make this City as one community to produce something good weapon. Maybe I can let Reyana live here," he speaks to himself and starts standing to go down. He looks at the three guys busy fixing their things and is ready to head out.
"We're ready." Hero nodded and started walking while the three were on his back also wandering their eyes around to look at monsters. They keep on going until they have arrived at the main gate safely.
While they were walking, Hero heard something from the distance causing him to stop and focus on listening to what he heard earlier. After a few seconds, his eyes widen causing him to sprint and leave the three guys on his back. "W-what happened to him? He leaves us here!?"
The guy with a mustache just keeps on staring at where Hero is heading. "No worries, we are already at She monster's territory. There will be no monster lurking around here. For sure Sir Hero has sensed something dangerous in our community. We need to run faster so we can catch up to him." The other two nodded their heads and the three of them started running to where Hero was.
"Don't touch me, once brother will be here for sure he'll gonna kick your ass and pump your faces!" Peitho shouted which made the guy in front of her slap her face causing her eyes to widen and her cheeks to swollen.
"Shut up, you bitch. Stop shouting, you are hurting my ears geez." The one with with red hair glares at Peitho but Peitho just glares at him back. "Oh wow, you're a baddie, huh? Let me see if you can still glare at me like that after I give you another punch."
He was about to punch Peitho in the face when suddenly, Hero arrived and cut both of his arms and started crying in pain. When they heard the guy's screaming and shouting, all of their attention turned to him.
"Fvcking leave my sister alone. How dare you hurt her!"
His voice trembles everyone around him even Paul's Elite group. He smirked and started walking to show in front of him causing Hero to look at him.
"I see, you are the person — no, the monster that Aamon told me."
