Chereads / Astero "The Forgotten God" Vol.1 / Chapter 13 - Not everything is paid for with real coins.

Chapter 13 - Not everything is paid for with real coins.

I woke up in what I could call a white room, there was only my bed there, in the corner there was a door, I want to think that is the exit, however, before I got out of bed Wulls entered the room, she was eating a loaf of bread and she was accompanied by a man who looked more like a young man with a man's face.

"Ah! Look, Brayan has already woken up," Wulls pointed to me.

"Yes, I see it

Who was that boy? I'm clearly confused, after that crazy dream I had and what's going on now I really feel quite confused.

"Asterio, he's Brayan, he helped me carry you after the ex-military beat you."

"The ex-soldiers?"

"Yes, after you were hit with a baseball bat on the back of the head, you stopped moving, I thought you were dead.

A baseball bat, yes, of course, since when a baseball bat is shaped like your head, animal! Now I remember something, the ex-military tried to assault me to take away all the provisions I was carrying in the backpack, I was exhausted from carrying Wulls inside the backpack approximately 1,480 kilometers, anyway, after Wulls jumped out of the backpack when I called her to take care of the ex-military, however, this woman, not to say animal, bumped her head against my neck making my vision blur and shut up unconscious.

"My name is Brayan, at the moment you are in a hospital.

"A hospital?" Are there people here?

"No, just the three of us," he said as he approached me, "I would like you to repay me this favor."

You already knew, now I'm stuck in the middle of a debt to a person I don't even know, what a waste of time.

"Those people who beat you stole the food from a shelter that is nearby and according to what your daughter has told me.

"Pet," I corrected.

"Whatever, if you're better off now, help me get that food back, according to your..." Pet, you're another one of those superhumans created by the nation, you'd help me a lot, so if you're better off let's go," he left the room.

I looked at Wulls carefully avoiding my eye contact looking away, she knows I'll scold her for not doing things carefully again, now I have to retrieve food from a shelter for this young man to let me go.

"Asterio, are you okay?" Wulls asked me.

"Yes, at the time my headbutt hurt, but now there's nothing left but a big bruise, or at least I think so."

"I don't mean that.

"Ah, you mean the dream, don't you?"

"Exactly, Tana was really scared, she didn't stop screaming and making a fuss, she said she couldn't communicate with you in any way, she said that your spirit was somewhere else.

"And that's why you thought he was dead, didn't you?"

"Yes, but I'm not like Tana, I don't get upset easily."

"You cried Wulls," Tana spoke suddenly.

"Ah?" You're back queen of dramas," Wulls sneered.

"Did you cry?" I asked.

"If you die, I'll go back to that wolf figure they have in your house."

-In danger! Tana exclaimed.

"Are you looking for a white fight?" Wulls was angry.

"Whatever you want, bold."

Despite being very close there is no doubt that they also have their conflicts, well typical discussion of brothers who am I to judge, I missed 5 years because Astaro ate my pie, honestly now that I see it it makes me nostalgic, I want to return home.

"Well, leaving this absurd discussion aside, I love Asterio everything you saw in your stay of unconsciousness was real, for some strange reason something or someone prevented me from communicating with you, in addition to not being able to see what your eyes saw.

"Practically what I saw only I saw, right?"

"Indeed, but I don't know if Wulls and I are allowed to know what he saw in that place.

"What do you mean?"

"Can you tell us, idiot! Wulls spoke.

"Wulls," Tana rebuked.

"Is it necessary?"

"No, if you don't want to," Tana spoke.

"Well, let's say that a woman told me information that will be useful to us in the future and later I will tell you in more detail, for the moment we are going to pay this absurd debt, this only delays our trip.

"He's a good guy, I feed and take care of you for approximately..."

"10 hours," Tana interrupted.

"Exactly.

"You told him about my powers, Wulls, for what purpose did you do it?"

"Well, let's say that the loot of food that we are supposed to return is very large and those huge trucks seem to fit too many products inside.

"You insinuate scamming the guy, right? I looked at her smiling.

"Yes, what a good opportunity, don't you think?" He approached me smiling.

"It sounds too tempting, really.

Despite the good idea I thought I could take more advantage of this situation so I got out of bed and then changed, I was in a good mood, the food we had which by the way was little, was practically aimed at Wulls, I really needed to have it well fed, if I became weak it would not help me to fight the beasts that are on the road, An interesting fact about me is that I don't need to eat, I do it only for its rich flavor but if we talk about survival I don't need to feed myself and I don't need to drink water to live. Even I don't know.

○●○●○

I am behind some bushes watching the people who had stolen the food from the shelter, next to me were Wulls and Brayan the latter was beckoning me to enter through the roof, it was a huge warehouse, there seemed to be no people inside so with a big jump I was able to access the roof of the warehouse.

"What now?" Wulls asked me.

"It will take time for the boy to leave me in charge of the food, that will be our chance to steal it."

I noticed trucks that were full of food, 4 to be exact, it is too much food with one truck only that the trip will be long, I would not like to leave them a single box of food that by the way most is canned, the coolers seem to carry meat that will serve for Wulls loves meat. Suddenly I notice the absence of a certain dwarf behind me, I looked down observing how Wulls forced the door of a truck to enter it.

However, suddenly a rock hit my head, I looked in the direction where the stone came from and I saw Brayan very upset pointing to 6 trucks that arrived unexpectedly, I told Tana to let Wulls know about this. After receiving Tana's message, Wulls hid on top of the truck, however, the door of the truck caught the attention of the armed men who became alert, Wulls was trapped, the most logical thing is to get rid of them, but Wulls should be able to finish them off.

"Tana.

"What's the matter, master Asterio?"

"How many people can Wulls kill before he gets tired?"

"I couldn't say exactly, but if I simulate it in my head, about 15 people for every 10 seconds, and until I started noticing symptoms of fatigue I guess 2,700 people.

"There are a lot of people, there are only 36 here, okay I guess he's definitely capable, tell him to eliminate them all," I ordered.

"As I ordered, Master Asterio.

Immediately after I ordered it I witnessed a live massacre, while I hear gunshots left and right I am able to observe the brutality of a wild animal, or at least something similar, its screams of agony echoed through the department store until finally in less than 30 seconds all the people, Both women and men had been eliminated.

Wulls looked at me carefully from below with traces of blood on her face and clothes, she smiled at me while winking at me, I went down with her observing the horrible scene, I set out to organize the trucks better, this took me approximately 15 minutes evidently I filled my truck with the best food I could find in the other trucks.

"Don't forget to bring a lot of meat," Wulls told me.

"Don't worry, I've had enough, but I think it can spoil if we don't keep it cold

"You're right, what do I do?"

"Find a cooler," I ordered.

"Okay.

Wulls went in search of the cooler while I took care of the rest, however, a hand touched my shoulder while at the same time whispering in my ear.

"What are you saying?" It was Brayan.

I had forgotten about him definitively, I wonder if the mission if I can call it that was just to recover the food and get out of here, I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees the wave of death in the environment.

"Putting things in order," I turned around, taking his hand off my shoulder, looking him in the face.

"I see, then why do I see dead people around me?"

He was taller than me, 10 centimeters taller than me to be exact.

"What did you want us to do?" That we let ourselves be killed? It's stupid." I smiled.

"I understand, then let's go," he turned around. What do you think you do?

I pierced his chest with my bare hand, while I could hear how his breathing felt very agitated, I pulled my hand from inside his chest while Brayan knelt splattering the floor with his own red liquid.

"From behind, just what a coward would do." After saying that he spat blood again, however, he didn't look scared at all.

"I don't think you're in a position to provoke me," I hit his face as I stood in front of him, "tell me, what do you gain by feeding that shelter?" First of all, that these people were not the ones who took care of the shelter? Just stupid, in the face of this world chaos they start stealing from each other, you know, sometimes I think that if we thought like ants or bees do we would be a better race.

"Don't compare me to you, you, I don't see a shred of humanity in you," he looked at me.

"You're right, your race is very stupid and it would be an insult to say I'm a human."

"At least we have the feeling of loving our loved ones who also love and adore us."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't look like you love someone," he sat down as he watched me.

"You're crazy, aren't you?" Well, you're about to die, it's normal for you to say stupid things."

"Look," I take my foot, "in the face of your lack of respect I can say that you failed to learn your place, right?"

In a matter of microseconds I hit my chin making my jaw break. How can he move with his chest pierced? While I was looking at the sky even half knocked out I received a blow in the stomach that burst most of my organs, his strength was huge, the power and speed played in his favor.

His stomach seemed to be filled with clear crystals, but they were filling his hollow, as if he was regenerating, I couldn't speak, my throat was full of blood due to my multiple internal bleeding.

"I made a mistake in helping you, no, I still have time to fix it," he put his foot on my head, "I'll crush your head."

I was immobile I couldn't regenerate fast after taking all that damage, I needed time to be able to regenerate, however, this idiot forgets about my pawn. Even on the ground I can see the shadow of a girl hitting Brayan's head brutally, yes, on my chessboard I have a pawn stronger than the queen.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" The tone of her voice showed that she was angry.

"Don't get involved, girl, I'm not in favor of beating women.

"I see, that makes it easier.

Both fought in a battle where Brayan was just strangely taking Wulls' blows, but she seemed to hit him with some resentment, she seemed to be angry at how he left me, no, if I die she goes back to that figure and she doesn't think so, for the moment I'll rest to regenerate little by little, I'll leave this to Wulls I hope I don't have to intervene.
