Chapter 2: Kijiro's special ability
Kijiro watched in slow motion as the huge creature got closer and closer until he felt the creature's strong, foul breath and was about to be swallowed in a single bite.
Kijiro didn't want to close his eyes and decided to face the creature with last-minute bravery.
Kijiro shouted: —Ahah! I won't die here! —he said with unbridled rage.
Kijiro was scared and angry like never before. All the hidden emotions were released immediately, causing a strange black aura to emerge at the last moment, completely enveloping the giant creature and then sucking it in.
Kijiro did not know what had happened, but he watched in amazement as the enormous creature was devoured by the black mist that came out of its body in defense and made only huge bones of the creature remain, and not only that; he also felt stronger, faster, had farther vision, and felt sharp teeth in his mouth.
He knew that that strange black gas had left his body and for some reason had suppressed the giant creature's abilities and thereby made him stronger, but it also caused physical changes in his body.
Pointed and sharp teeth, long jet black hair, black eyes without pupils, pale sick skin, and a skinny physique.
Although he hadn't seen his own reflection, he knew that it is not the same and looks sinister, but stronger with higher speed.
Kijiro felt that that strange black mist could slowly control him, and he succeeded, causing the black mist to be transforming. It is the same giant creature, but it was made of that strange black mist as if it were a dark monster.
By doing so, he could control the creature made of mist and darkness. Then he felt a chilling sensation running through his entire body, causing the black mist to disperse out of nowhere and enter his body. The physical changes stayed with Kijiro.
Kijiro spoke to the air: It seems that this strange fog is my awakened ability. "It seems that it can devour creatures much larger and more powerful than me," he said with adulterated emotion on his face and malicious eyes.
Kijiro felt completely powerful at that moment and had a need to devour everything, murder everyone, and want to tear apart anything that moved.
Suddenly he felt a slight movement behind in a bush and saw it; a thirty-foot-long snake that looked like it had devoured some creature through its inflated stomach was an indication.
Kijiro knew he should leave the snake, but he remembered that he only had two strange rabbits left, and he doesn't think they will be enough for the children to eat. He decided to enter into combat against the giant snake. It appears to be an anaconda, but those small black wings give it a sense of distress.
Kijiro advanced and wanted to hit the large head of the snake, then he heard it. He heard a scream deep in the forest and fauna, looking at the anaconda, who also returned his gaze with pride and arrogance.
This creature knew that they were not going to kill it and could continue eating humans from that village; it is a winged dragon cub who was kidnapped by a slave trader and managed to escape silently when the wolves were eating the two humans.
Kijiro felt a slight chill as he watched the snake smile or try to smile, and with its tail signaling him to go to the place of the sudden scream...
He knew that this creature is intelligent, and it would be a bad idea to engage in combat against it. The best way is to try to have a good relationship. Without thinking further, he decided to throw the two corpses at the snake, which was alone. He saw them without wanting to eat them, and with his tail he threw them at Kijiro's feet.
Without losing his sanity, he felt that he could improve this bestial state and gasped in pain as he felt the black fog coming out again and the black eyes without pupils had yellow snake irises, the fangs elongated to the point of being noticeable and the most amazing thing. , the nails on the fingers of the hands lengthened to the point of being claws...
Kijiro felt an extreme power and rushed at maximum speed to the bottom of the forest, where the screams of a girl were beginning to fade into the air, accelerating even more. He was careful not to hit a tree or other dangerous obstacle that could hurt him.
He ran deeper into the forest and calmly noticed that it was beginning to get dark due to the thick and imposing giant trees that blocked the sunlight. He continued advancing, and along the way he saw some men's carelessly thrown clothes and, next to them, an iron breastplate and some combat pants with little iron protecting the weak areas, and further on he saw a dress torn into pieces.
Kijiro had a bad feeling upon observing this and quickened his pace even more to reach the source of the sound. As he did so, he observed how an older man had an eight-year-old girl pinned to the ground who was trying to free herself.
He advanced without thinking and ran at maximum speed to hit the guy's neck with his long claws, but he only heard a bouncing sound and iron hitting iron.
The man had drawn the iron sword and easily blocked the claws that were heading for the neck.
Man spoke—Damn! "A minor demon! This will be convenient; I'm going to have fun with the young noble lady and then kill them both to take you as proof that a demon was the one who did everything to the lady," he said with lust in his voice and looking directly at the Kijiro's eyes.
Kijiro heard this guy's plans and took a quick look at the girl who is passed out with blood dripping from her head—a girl with porcelain-white skin, very bushy eyebrows with beautiful blue color, short crystal blue hair up to her shoulders, long eyelashes, and a pretty face.
Kijiro spoke: "It seems that you are this lady's bodyguard; it is very unfortunate, because I am going to kill you," he said calmly, releasing the same dark mist that took the shape of the twenty-meter giant creature, exactly the same, the only difference being that it was made of black mist.
Kijiro noticed the man's slight fear and saw him put himself on guard, leaving the girl. Kijiro was not polite and immediately responded, putting himself on guard and waiting to unleash a life-and-death battle.
