In the forbidden forest.
It appears that two children were trapped by the appearance of a strong aura that held their movements. Plus the atmosphere of the forest is very quiet adding to the impression of horror for both.
The air blows slowly but is able to grit the hearts of anyone who hits it. That is a magic aura, absolute energy that blazes from the magic owner itself.
"Mercury, do you feel something? Looks like we have a guest?"
In a state of fear and anxiety, Shine asked worried if this was the end of the two of them.
Raksa firmly agreed.
"Your guess might be true but we must be vigilant?"
The mercury said while staring at the silent surroundings covered with lush trees.
That place is indeed beautiful with a natural scenery decoration that is so beautiful like Itekai/another world.
However, all of that is very different, if in other worlds usually have a world -full world impression. So in the Arcana world there is no, only the strongest is the one who deserves to be respected.
Especially the gods who regulate the life and death of the Arcana world towards the afterlife.
"Whussh!
From the back a sharp horn -shaped bone appeared quickly towards the mercury.
"Watch out for mercury"
Shine shouted warning the attack suddenly eyeing at her.
Shine tried to run but fell, she could only warn the mercury to avoid the attack.
"Srash!"
Mercury collapsed with a stomach that splattered fresh blood.
The sharp horn -shaped bone stuck right in his stomach. While grimacing in his pain, he tried to pull the object from his stomach.
The loud scream echoed in the forest.
"Arrrh"
The mercury bowed with a face full of sweat and around his body surrounded by blocked blood stains.
It feels like it hurts but mercury feels strange with himself. Even though he should have died exposed to the sharp horn but Mercury felt he only accepted the pain.
While his body remains intact then a hollow wound due to the sharp object's fings gradually disappears.
"Why do I feel infinite pain? Then my body is also not like a serious injury?"
The question was spinning in his head while trying to interpret from all this.
But not long ago.
"Whussh!
"Whussh!
"Whussh!
Dozens of sharp tandur -shaped bones shot quickly and then shower the small body of the fixed mercury.
As a result the mercury must die in the condition of the body stuck by the sharp object. Blood flooded the area around his small body and even his body was like a cotton swab that was plunged by a lot of nails.
"Mercury!"
Shine shouted staggered back and then fell with a limp body.
Not long from behind the shadow of trees a Cyros appeared watching them since earlier. With apparently that very terrible, the atmosphere suddenly tense after Cyros showed its form.
"Rrrrrrh!
The very sharp fangs are ready to chew every prey.
"Cyros Darkwolf?"
Shine is getting weak to see what creatures are.
Previously Lyra Yryslesy explained their first mission as a new adventurer, which was to defeat Cyros a shadow wolf.
Their mission is only to get the crystal core from Cyros so that later it can be exchanged in return for money. Of course, with additional points of increase to level B, even though they have to complete many other missions.
"This is only the first mission? But why isn't his opponent comparable?"
Shine was pressed because of her left alone.
Shine believes she will not be able to defeat Cyros Darkwolf. Shine even felt this was the end of her life facing Cyros that strong.
"Ouch, my body hurts so much?"
Surprisingly Raksa rose again while trying to get rid of various sharp horn -shaped bones that stuck in his body.
Not only that, parts of his body that suffered fatal wounds also slowly healed by itself. The mercury stood back in a messy face and clothes filled with blood stains.
"Raksa? Don't don't you?"
Shine stared not to believe what she saw directly.
How can a dead mercury can live again?
Moreover, can he regenerate very fast?
Not only Shine, Cyros Darkwolf has expected it if the human boy is not an ordinary human. From the aura that emanated from within him alone already contained a terrible curse.
"Grrrrh!
Cyros Darkwolf is very confident if the human boy is a direct descendant of evil magicians in the past.
In a confused state, Raksa tried to remain calm after seeing a wild wolf.
The wolf has a dark blue body with a thick black magic like a shadow. Not only that from the top of his head there was one horn attached, similar to a rhino but not a rhino.
"Turns out you're a damn wolf that attacks me suddenly?"
Raksa felt no mistake because the sharp horn bones scattered around him were very similar to the wolf's horn.
Annoyed Raksa ran hard to the wolf, then cut down the small sword he was carrying.
"Feel this damn wolf!"
"Whusssh!
Before the mercury managed to touch the skin of the wolf.
"Duarh"
Strong winds blow like a tornado to throw it hit some of the falling trees.
"Arghh!
Raksa laying down while curled up holding his body which felt unable to move at all.
Now he knows that the wolf is too strong for a little boy like him. But fortunately the mysterious power that keeps him alive even though it should have died since earlier.
Protecting him from a deadly attack but in the end the mercury must withstand pain but not with his body that is still recovering.
"Mercury, are you okay?"
Shine tried to approach her friend who was lying but somehow her body could not be moved.
Cyros Darkwolf deliberately did not kill him, he only targeted the child of a human who had such a lot of power since he was still a boy.
"RUAARRR"
Cyros Darkwolf roared hard like a lion.
Even though he is a wolf but why not blend like a wolf?
Cyros Darkwolf is the strongest form of evolution of this type of clay wolf. So the way his life is also different, he is not an ordinary wolf but a wolf who has his own magic energy.
"Ah, I will keep fighting even though it continues to fail!"
Raksa again tried to stand up with a trembling body.
His face looked messy, his body which was full of wounded but healed, a slightly torn and full of blood stains, and by wearing his small sword.
Raksa did not want to give up just so much, if he died then the mercury did not care about it anymore. Because the ambition of his revenge was burning in his heart that was burning like a fire.
"Wolves like you won't scare me!"
"Whussh!
Suddenly the Rings Magic he wore shined brightly in blue.
As a whole the bluish aura enveloped him like a blazing fire. Raksa did not realize that Rings Magic could help him when he was pressed as he is today.
