[Your understanding of Bone Manipulation(Low) has increased.]
Huh? What's this? My understanding of this ability increased? What does it mean? I scratch my head, i was using Bone Manipulation out of curiousity. I was trying to make something out of bone other than sword and armor.
Suddenly,
[Quest has been given.]
What another mission?
[Save 'Claudia Ronsphina'.]
Claudia? The girl from before? I scratch my chin.
[Warning!]
What?
[Her life is in danger! If the host is not fast, she will die.]
She will die? Die? Why? Didn't she already went back to her town? I rushed out of the cave. I stopped at the cave's entrance, Looking at Claudia's footstep. I quickly ran, following her footstep.
'I don't know what is going on right now. But hang in there, Claudia.'
***
I finally arrived at the town Claudia live, as her footstep ended right at the entrance. And i could see many building. But the thing is, there was fire everywhere. As i went inside the town.
Bam!
Suddenly, a monster attack me out of nowhere. It look like a wolf? Thankfully, i block it's attack with my sword. I quickly pushed the wolf back with my sword. The wolf quickly took a few step back. After that,
Auuuugh!
It howled, i look at my surrounding, a bunch of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They quickly jump toward me. i lowered my stance and swinged my sword. Slicing the body of the wolf who jumped toward me.
Their blood, poured down right on to my body, making my armor slowly become red. The wolf who stood still, watching their friend get slaughtered, quickly jump at me. Their body quickly get on top of me, i grab one of the wolf that was clinging to me.
[Activating Blaze(Low)]
Flame quickly came out from my body, enveloping my body with flame. The wolf that was biting my armor, growled. As they felt the pain, from their burning body. Many of them quickly jump down from my body. Their body was slowly burning into dust.
I look at the wolf in my left hand, i sliced it's head off with my sword. I glared at the other wolf that was watching their friend burning. As they met my gaze, they slowly retreated back into the forest.
[Deactivating Blaze(Low)]
I ran toward the center of the town, they were nothing but... corpse... many corpse. Is Claudia already dead?
[Claudia is still alive, Please hurry up!]
I checked around the house that was near the center of the town, but there were nothing at all. Everywhere i go is just human corpse. Im tired.... i took a glance toward the house that was in the center of the town.
'I haven't check that house.'
I went inside the house, i noticed a bright light suddenly emitted from the inside.
"Fireball."
A giant ball of fire suddenly came toward me.
Bam!
The ball hit me, making my body fly. I quickly placed my sword down on the ground, reducing the impact. I look back at the house, a man slowly appeared inside the house.
"A skeleton withstood my fireball? I never thought that would happend."
The man was wearing a top hat and a monocle, his hair was white. And he was also wearing a white shirt with a black coat and a white glove, With a long black pant.
"I will not let that mistake happend twice!"
"Wind Blade!"
A green looking thing came flying toward me, i didn't know what it is, but i know it's dangerous. I hold my sword high, before swinging it with all of my strength. The swing immediately created a wave of wind, countering the green thing.
"What?! H-how? How can a mere skeleton?!"
The man was still shocked, i raised my hand toward him.
[Activating Bone Manipulation(Low)]
I grabbed the air in my hand, quickly pulling it down.
"AHHHH!"
The man screamed, he look at his arm, his arm was bending down.
"Y-you What did you do!"
I look at him, glaring him with a gaze.
"AHHHH!"
Both of his knee suddenly bend upward, making him fall to the ground. The man hold his knees with his right hand. Feeling the pain in his body, he was crying.
Step! Step!
I slowly approach him, walking up to him. I grab him by the throat. I went inside the house, only to see the thing i don't want to see...
Looking at the naked body of Claudia, lying on the bed. the shine in her eyes were already gone. I look at the man again... and look back at Claudia.
[....]
Death.... is not enough.... for him....
I slammed the man toward the floor, i quickly covered the man mouth with dirt.
"MhmmmMMMHMHM!"
Tear was flowing down from the man eyes, as i slowly mutilate his leg one by one, Followed by his arm.
[... Activating Blaze(Low)]
I burned his limb right before his eyes, with my body. Did you see it? Your limb is no more. What? You didn't see it? Ahhh, i guess you don't need your eye.
[Deactivating Blaze(Low)]
I smiled at the man, before grabbing both of his eyes.
"MMMHMMMHM!"
With all of my strength i pulled out the man eye out of the man body. He quickly screamed. I grab the man's throat once again, holding him up in the air.
[Activating Blaze(Low)]
The flame in my body slowly approached his body, slowly burning him into ashes. The man screamed in pain, i watch him scream as his body slowly wither away.
[Deactivating Blaze(Low)]
I look at the speck of dust, lying infront of me. I did it.. i saved Claudia... but what is this? Why do i feel empty? Shouldn't i be happy?
[... host ... Claudia is....]
What? I look at Claudia, approaching her. I look around looking for her clothes. I couldn't find it. I noticed that there was a blanket on the side of the bed. I picked up the blanket, i quickly cover Claudia naked body with the blanket, before carrying her on my back.
I went outside the house, looking at the scenery one more time. No one was alive... everybody is dead... how could this happend? I shook my head. I ran into the forest, going back to the cave.
***
I slowly put Claudia down, she was leaning against the wall. She didn't talk at all when i was carrying her. Is she...
[Host.. Claudia is... in a state of depression..]
I thought so, after all of that... i too would be depressed. I took a seat beside her, looking at the cave's ceiling above.
I'm also tired... i... killed.... a person.. Hahaha.... i am the worse. I close my eyes, and quickly went asleep.
