Chapter Fifty-Nine. Zen cursed loudly and wiped his mouth and lips. "Eww." I muttered in disgust as gently wipe my face covered with red bloody wine. “Anong klasing wine to!?” Zen shouted and glared at me. Napangiwi naman ako sa sinabi nito dahil hindi ko talaga alam. Ang alam ko lasang tubig siya. I glared at Zen slightly lifted my hood upang punasan ang buong mukha ko. “Aba malay ko? Kaya nga sinabi ko sayo na tikman duh!?” I uttered in distasteful tone. Zen stared at me as if I have gone mad and he slowly shook his disbelief. “Tikman mo kung gusto mo,” he said as he shivered, probably remembering the awful taste of the wine. He took out a handkerchief and spread his tongue out. He dabbed his handkerchief to his tongue as if he was cleaning it, trying to get rid of the lingering taste. Inikot ko na lang ang mata ko at pinagmasdan ng mabuti ang tapon. Ang cork ay medyo mas malaki kaysa sa karaniwan na nakikita ko at medyo mas malambot kumpara sa iba. No wonder madali lang ito
"Sino kayo!? Anong ginagawa nyo dito?" The man in his forty asked aggressively.Napa talon ng kaunti dahil lalim ng boses nito at napahawak sa braso ni Zen dahil sa kakaibang tingin ng lalakiGanito ba talaga ang mga shop owner dito? This is such a ad quality costumer service! If I had to rate this store bibigyan ko talaga ang may ari ng perfect negative star!Bakit ba kasi kami tinatanong kung sino kami, mga costumer po kung hindi obvious.“Bat kayo nandiyan sa labas ng pinto? Nakaharang kayo sa daan!” sigaw nito muli. I almost could help but roll my eyes.Bakit ba palagi na lang nila sinabing nakaharang kami eh hindi naman ah! Thankfully it was Zen who handled the talking. Baka kapag ako yun masigawan ko rin yung may ari na ‘bakit hindi mo kami papasukin muna! Mga mamimili kami dito!’ hmmp baka bilhin ko buong shop nato eh…“Nandito kami upang bumili ng libro, isang cook book.”The shop owner look at us from head to toe before he sneered at us, and then he frowned and flick his hand
Wednesday night, five minutes to eight. Me and Zen is currently taking the route in an alley behind Bravehearts Bar. We are currently finding the Kerl ingredient shop, at ang sabi sa napagtanongan namin kaninang hapon ay madali raw namin itong makikita kapag kami ay dumaan sa likod ng Bravehearts.Late na kami naka balik sa pinagkasunduan namin na oras nila Rita at Vice Captain Illiad,kami ay hinapon kaya naman nagisa kami sa galit ni Rita. Muntik pa kaming maging abodo dahil sa galit nya. Even just recalling about it makes me shiver, Rita is so scary sometimes.Patuloy kaming naglakad hanggang nakita na namin ang isang medyo kalakihan na shop, in front of it was placard with a word ‘Kerl’ written in cursive. Not bad actually, it doesn’t look creepy. Hindi mo akakalain na dito pala ginaganap ang black market gathering.Zen took out a two iron mask that could only cover half a face, a mask that Vice Captain Illiad brought for us. Agad namin itong sinuot and finished the first step of o
WHAT!?I look at the attendant who was still panting heavily, trying to recover his breathing.How can that be!? May mga heretics dito?! Almost everyone tense and started to panic. Ang nanatiling kalmado lang saamin ay si Mr. Eye of Notorary and Zen. They were calmly assessing the situation.I clenched hardly the five diary pages in response. My feelings are all jumbled up but maybe thanks to the serenity pill I wasn't trembling nor panicking. I am just feeling shock and quiet irritated.The type of irritation when things doesn't go well as planned or unexpected elements coming through your way na walang kang mapang counter.I hate that feeling.Before my thoughts got deep on thinking to fix this problem, and large warm hand pulled me closer to the right. When I look up I saw Zen looking at me."Stay calm, wala pa sila dito. Nasa labas parin sila kaya wag ka mag-aalala." he sternly reminded.Agad naman akong napatango. Mr. Eye of Notorary glance at everyone of us before calmly saying,
I was rooted on the spot. I stared at the man who’s bald and was holding his greatsword with one hand, letting it rest on his shoulder.Why is he asking us!? I was confused and dizzy from all the running.“Hindi kayo sasagot?”Then, if he's asking ask us if we part of the Gardener's…My eyes widen in shocked I finally realized something.That only mean he's a heretic! I wasn’t sure dahil mukha itong warrior dahil sa suot nito, more like of an adventurer warrior because of his leather armor.‘Rin watch out!’I suddenly heard Droon shouting inside my head, and in a blur motion Zen who was beside me was now in front."Run!" Zen shouted as he block the incoming attack from the big guy. As if time slowed down, everything went into slow motion. The dead night was still silent, and no sounds could be heard when the greatsword clashed wit the steel sword.Clang!“Ugh!” Zen groan as he tried to block it.I was taken a back by the impact and was slightly push back.“Damn!” I cursed as I saw the
Chapter Sixty-Four. Third Person’s POV. Arnold son of Ren, father of Dorothy, was an experience tribe warrior from the southern side of the continent. He was a proud warrior of their tribe, a tribe who values their strength more than anything. Arnold who was in the state of adrenaline, lifted his empty hand and brush his head. "HAHAHAHHAHA" Matapos tumawa ng isang minuto, tuluyang napigilan ni Arnold ang kanyang pagtawa. Itinaas niya ang kanang kamay at bahagyang pinunasan ang mga luhang namumuo sa kanyang mga mata. It's been while since he had that kind of laugh. Thus to say, what he encountered was very interesting. Looking at the young blood in front of him, he was reminded by a small fraction of a dear memory. Upon arrival on this small village, he only had one goal in mind. It was to steal the seal artifact placed in the underground Sawan gate of the Church of Earth Mother. Isa lang ang layunin niya, iyon ay ang paglingkuran ang kanyang Diyos, ang kanyang panginoon at tag
Chapter Sixty-Five.Not far away from the place where Marina and Zen was fighting. A dark-skinned humanoid creature with devilish horns protruding from the top of its forehead was sitting on the top of a tree. With one of its legs resting on the branches of the tree and an arm supporting one of its cheeks, the creature had its eyes closed. It had a muscular human body with two bat-like wings attached to its back. From behind its tailbone, a long black tail wiggled around the air.Sensing something, the humanoid creature slowly opened its eyes revealing two deep red eyes that exuded boundless bloodlust.Staring at me who was frozen solid in place Looking at the fight between devil worshippers and the Gardeners, the humanoid-like creature eerily smiled as it looked down on the mess."Ku Ku Ku, what have we got here?" as his attention was attracted to three persons. A young boy with a blessed sword in hand, a heretic with a dark holy sword, and a young girl with a lingering aura of death
Chapter Sixty-SixSoon, everything around me started to change. The house, the people, the furniture, everything in my eyes slowly changed. Everything no longer looked like what it was before.Slowly, everything around me started resembling an old television form before. The whole place turned into a three-dimensional space that was painted in black and white.My heartbeat which was beating unevenly calmed down. Following my heartbeat, my breathing became even and I felt all my emotions leaving my body.My whole point of view change into a familiar background. As if it was deja vu, a familiar background yet I don’t seem to remember what it was.I look at where Zen was standing yet I didn’t feel the need nor spare a chance to care about his condition. I no longer cared for Zen. I no longer cared for the heretic who was in the state of going crazy. I no longer cared about anything other than fulfilling my mission.I only had one goal.That is to kill the heretic who seems to know my sec
