’Well, I guess I have no choice but to stay here and wait for them to return.’
{Why wait when you can just watch them fight?}
’Huh?’
’What did you just say, Saya?’
{Watch them fight. What else?}
’Yeah, but how!’
{You don’t have to do anything. Both of them are higher than S+ Rank so their fight is bound to be in the sky more than on the ground.}
’Oh, right. That’s great.’
’I didn’t think about that.’
’Thank god. Now, I won’t have to miss out on the action. I will be able to see their fig—’
"Rael," My father’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
His tone was cold and he had a frown on his face.
"You..." He said, "Who is that woman? And, how do you know her? Don’t tell me, you are dating a monster?"
’Huh? What is he saying?’
I...
Me...
...dating a monster?
’What the hell is he saying?’
’I have never dated anyone in my life. And, how can I date a monster?’
No...
This is not right.
I have to clear up this misunderstandi—
But before I could clear up the misunderstanding, in the blink of an eye, a huge bird came down from the sky, and snatched Ella’s father up into the air.
"Ahhh!" He shouted.
’What?’
’What the hell is this?’
It happened so fast that no one was able to react, or to say anything.
The bird flew upward into the sky.
"Huh? Honey?" Ella’s mother let out.
"Mr. Dune!" My father shouted.
The bird had four wings and its body was covered with golden feathers.
Its size was enormous.
’Oh no. Is it going to eat him? No, no. It can’t be.’
"Saya!" I shouted, "No Name."
And my right eye power activated.
Then I quickly raised my hand and pointed my index finger toward the bird.
— Target: Golden-Winged Roc. —
— Rank: C
— Aim: Head. —
— Type: Piercing. —
— Range: 100 meters (Increasing). —
— Attack Power: 1 MP. —
— Target Locked —
My right eye’s power activated and the information about the Golden-Winged Roc, was revealed.
"Fire." I said.
Boom!
A bullet made of energy flew from my finger, and struck the bird’s body.
Boom!
The bullet exploded and the bird was blasted away.
Thud!
Crash!
It flew away, and crashed into the ground alongside Ella’s father.
"Nooo..." Ms. Dune shouted upon witnessing her husband fall.
’Shit!’
’I forgot about the landing part.’
’Oh man, I hope Mr. Dune is not dead.’
Kekeke!
Gugaguga!
’What the hell is this sound?’
I turned around and saw goblins, they were surrounding the whole area.
’Fuck! As soon as Ella is gone the monsters have come. Oh, great.’
’Now, what should I do?’
’How am I supposed to handle this situation?’
{Just kill them all.}
’Yeah, I know that. But, I don’t have a weapon.’
{What about the sword you made before?}
’Huh? That one?’
Right!
That Katana.
I can use that one.
"Emily, get me the sword from the house, placed near the dining table. Fast!"
"Okay!" My elder sister, Emily shouted, and ran back to the house.
"So, how should I kill you guy before my sword comes?" I said, my right hand clutching my left fist and I cracked my knuckles.
’I will just beat them senseless until the sword comes. Okay, let’s do this.’
"Come at me,"
I stepped forward, and the goblins charged toward me.
They roared, and grunted, and raised their clubs.
And I smiled.
’Now, you are dead meat.’
I grabbed the wrist of the goblin and lifted him into the air.
"You want some of this?" I asked, my voice was loud and clear.
"Come at me, if you dare." I threw him at the other goblins.
They tried to move, but their reflexes were slow and they weren’t able to avoid their comrade, and were crushed under his body.
"Next!"
Bam!
I punched the face of a goblin, and his nose was shattered.
After that, all of the goblins had raised their weapon and were going to attack me at once.
’Shit! There is no way I can handle so many of them at once.’
’Shit. Where are you, Emily!’
Just as I was about to curse at her, I heard my father calling me, "Rael!"
"Catch!" He said, and threw me the baseball bat which was leaning against the wall near the entrance of the house.
I reached my hand out, and caught the handle.
’Thank god.’
’Looks like he saved my ass again.’
’Thank you, God, and thank you, Dad.’
I raised the bat, and swung it with all my strength.
"Die, motherfuckers!" I swung it at the nearest goblin.
Bang!
The sound of the bat with nails embedded into it, colliding with the skull of the goblin, rang throughout the area.
His head was smashed and his blood and brain matter sprayed into the air, and his body fell down.
"One down, countless more to go."
I swung the bat, and hit another goblin, and another and another.
But there was no end to them.
’Shit! Are these things spawning from the ground or something?’
’Where are they coming from?’
’I can’t even call for Ella because she is fighting that damn goblin queen. Oh, man. This is so not fair.’
Swish!
Slash!
I heard a sound behind me, and turned my head.
I saw my mother, holding the sword.
Her eyes were sharp, and her gaze was fierce.
She slashed the sword, and chopped the head of the goblin.
’Ohhhh!’
How can I forget?
My mother was a genius swordswoman of a ruined Tower.
{Ahem! Ruined Tower?}
Oh, I mean.
’She was a prodigy of a hidden sword family, and she was a genius, and was known for her sword skills.’
{Wow. That is a lot of praise, huh?}
{But, is that even true?}
’Well, nope, but...’
I kept on swinging my bat and crushing the goblins one by one.
There was no end to them.
But, I didn’t stop.
I just kept on swinging my bat and destroying their bodies.
’...She is a genius. And I think I also got my talent from her.’
{So that is why you have the talent to master everything.}
’Yeah. That is the reason. Or, so I think.’
I didn’t have the time to chat with Saya.
I noticed that the sword my mother was holding had started to shine, and the light was getting brighter and brighter.
"Huh?" My mother, who was swinging the sword, noticed the glow and mumbled.
"What is this?" My mother spoke, her voice was low.
Don’t tell me...
...she has also...
