Wangsit! and a Gaze!

Astaroth The Sexiest Demon Arc: Chapter_013 (Wangsit! and a Gaze!)

The Leader Pack of wolves just two steps away from where Elan fell. It raised its claws ready to tear the human body in front of it.

"Elan!" Cried Danu and Dina, but they had to accept the other two wolf attacks once more because of it.

Elan could only look up and stare at it blankly. His red eyes met the reddish eyes of the wolf Leader Pack. The trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of the wolf's leader as he stared into each of his colder seconds.

Elan's gaze was getting colder and deeper. His Aura also began to be unstable. For some reason, a red fog covered with black layer began to enveloping him.

At that time, Elan who his life and death on line got a 'wangsit'. He seems to be thrown into a large space filled with darkness.

Stricken with confusion, Elan kept checking back and forth. Unfortunately, what he found was only darkness. He thinks that he is dreaming or maybe... 'Am I dead? Is this the world after death...?'

'No, no, no... what does all of this mean...'

[Finally! I have enough energy to talk to you ...]

A voice of a kid at his age echoed in his ear.

"Who is there?"

He started looking around frantically but there was no sign of life, still dark as before.

'Is this an illusion? Or just my hallucinations ...'

[... This is not an illusion, brat.]

"Not an illusion... Then who are you?"

Elan starts to evaluate his situation, he is sure if this is not the world after death. Obviously someone has moved his here. In fact, his wounds are all gone.

[Who I am is not a important now! Right now your body is still in danger ...]

"What do you mean? Tell me more clearly..."

[Uhh... It's very noisy. Even though you're just a kid, you still have a strong bloodline anyway!]

Instead of answering, the voice was scolding him. Although his voice is very similar to himself, the voice sounds deeper and has a strong resonance as if it is easy for him to influence someone to obey his words.

"....!"

But for Elan, it just sounded like he was talking in a lazy tone to scold someone.

[Do not just stop there ...]

'How could anyone be so unresounable as him. He who invited me here and scolded me for my ignorance....'

[Do not think all sorts of unimportant things... I'm talking like this, not because of your ignorance but because of how slow you react. Anyway... my purpose brings your consciousness to 'here' actually to save you too.]

"You... you... you read my mind..."

Elan felt his whole body begin to shudder, cold air piercing from behind his back. Whoever he is, this guy is really terrifying!

[Just listen! I'll tell you the point now ...]

"It's not you who have been talking long-winded!"

[At present, the situation in Chyrma Forest is unstable. Many unknown Demon Beasts are going crazy and attack other students. This is also related to the reason why I 'finally' can talk to you. Someone is plotting something harm to a new student, no, more precisely to you.]

Elan froze for a moment. He can not digest it at once. What does it mean unstable? What is it with these Demon Beasts? Also who is the person that planning to plot something harm to him?

"I-I..."

[No need to talk anymore, just nod your head. If you want to survive or save your friends, then listen to my advice.]

Elan's hands were clenched tightly, and it looked a bit shaky. He still bowed his head with his eyes closed, but continued to twitch.

'Huhh~~ do I have to believe him? Or I just give up on what's going to happen... shit! Anyway I will get out of this forest safely, at least with all the members of Group IX'

A moment later he raised his head high. Determination appeared in his eyes. The trembling in his hand disappeared, his gaze growing sharper and warmer.

Elan nodded and looked into the darkness in front of him firmly.

[Not bad. You can make a decision without getting rid of your rationality. Khakha~ With your current ability, at most you can only save yourself and that two little Pendekars. Khakha~]

The voice sounded quite satisfied with Elan's decision. He even laughs in the middle of his conversation, besides, his laugh is quite unique. It sounded like an old man laughing with the voice of a boy.

[Do not worry! With my help, you can even save all the students in this Chyrma Forest. But the hardest thing is not saving them. Rather, fight the person behind this.]

He again spoke in a serious tone and emphasized his last sentence.

Elan understood perfectly. If anybody can make all the academy students in the forest threatened, then there is high chances that the person has the ability equivalent to Master Wizards Level or above.

[You must also have sensed someone watching you besides 'The arrogant red-haired girl'. Not to mention the fleeting gaze shown to you that distracts you from trying to attack a 'little wolf' and instead being attacked.]

Arrogant red-haired girl?

Little wolf?

Elan is eager to shout, 'Why do you always see something so trivial like it was nothing?!" but, of course he did not dare do it. He even stopped thinking about it halfway.

[That's right, 'that annoying little girl is in danger'. If you want to save her, she is in south, 1 km in the Inner Circle area, 5 km from where you now.]

Before Elan could reply for looking hesitant.

[Well, get out from here. Too long here is not good for you right now.]

A breeze blew out of nowhere in the darkness.

He felt the wind getting louder before it gradually died down and disappeared.

....

"Uhh..."

His eyes twitched.

"Elan, elan ..."

"You're okay, aren't you?"

Elan hears the call of Danu and Dina. He still felt the pain in his head, just as when his head hit a rock by the river. His eyes kept twitching as if trying to open a heavy, binding load.

"Mn."

Light entered his eyes, even though forest aren't so bright it was quite dazzling. Slowly his eyes refocused. In front of him he could see the worried faces of two fellow who called him as friends.

'I am back? I'm still alive...' muttered Elan.

He looked back at them, with a smiling face he said, "Thanks... I'm fine."

"K-kang Elan, are you really okay?"

Dina asked again with a worried face.

"Kang?" Elan muttered, "Yes, I've never been feel better." he said firmly.

Hearing Elan's reply once more, Dina finally sighed with relief.

"Great!" Exclaimed Danu, "It's good, if you're all right. They also survived with minor injuries, we can call this as miracle. Even though we will survive if we use a magic weapon, our orientation task must be over... in the true sense."

Elan checked around. Its right, they only have at most severe external injuries. While not far from them, the carcasses of some Demon Beasts scattered around. On his right side, a larger one also lying helpless.

"Is this all... I did it?"

Elan's question surprised them. For them it's obvious he did it, no, he's the one who slaughtered everything. He even looks very scary when slaughtering them.

Apparently, when Elan's consciousness faded, things happened.

"What are you trying to say... who else did it other than you?"

"Did you crash your own head, so you can not remember what happened..."

Danu started checking his head many times.

"Alright, alright... its enough... ouch, " Elan tosses Danu's hand from her head. Beside him, Dina looked worried again.

"I told you, I'm fine. My head is a little dizzy because of the impact," said Elan making excuses, "Tell me what happened when the Wolf Leader Pack threw me, my memory is a little blurry by then..." He threw a question to change the topic.

The look on Danu's face was even more astonished. "You... ah, whatever, let me explain what happened to you."

"A few minutes ago before you actually fainted. You remember the big wolf was about to eat you alive?"

Elan just nodded.

"The wolf leader pack is ready to devour you but somehow when we thought we had lost hope, they suddenly looked very scared later on. It was then, you who we thought had fainted, suddenly stand up again. One of your broken legs even looks recovered, though blood is still visible everywhere. I wonder what really happened to you at that time?"

Danu seemed to throw his gaze at Elan as he pulled the question out.

"I do not know," Elan answered unconsciously.

Even He does not anythingg, so in his confusion, he instantly responds without realizing it.

His friends looked suspiciously, but found no loophole.

"Mn, so you really do not remember what happened then."

"Yes, my memory is not clear at that moment."

"Huh~ All right. At that moment, your feet recovered in an instant. Even above Level 5 Pendekar takes a whole day to recover from a broken bone like that. We were really surprised. However, what makes us even more shocked is... when you get up and stand up, the Demon Beasts are so frightened."

Dina also nodded many times, showing in her face the shock and admiration painted all over in face, while remembering the previous events. The others also nodded at the same time, just as Dina's admiration was written on their faces.

Elan starts thinking hard, what causes the demon beasts to be frightened? And what makes them so shocked and amazed at once? Me?

"I can not understand that. Their fear is pure like a small mouse deer in front of a tiger, their forest natural ruler. It seemed, like a dream, to see the ferocious Black Wolf becoming a small coward dog. However, what they fear is not tigers but you," said Danu pointing at him, "they are backing out and looking shaky. While you are still silent, suddenly a pressure dropped on the air that makes us all difficult to breath normally. As we furiously breathe the air, you start moving toward the Wolves Leader Pack and we thought you're going to attack it with bare hands."

"But... but, you just casually put your hand and make the Wolves Leader Pack more frightened then fell down. Other wolves also began to bow their heads. Just at that moment, a strong aura came pressing from all directions, we who had difficulty to breathing finally fainted. Just before I fainted, I was still convinced that I saw these wolves die from the Aura's pressure."

They show a frightened face as Danu tells how they fainted. It shows how strong Aura is. But what about him? What happens if they pass out?

"And... you can guess what happened afterwards. When we woke up, we could see all the Black Wolves was dead. In addition, we found you near the Black Wolves carcass. However, from the magic patterns gathered on it, they have recently died out, which means no more than 10 minutes of elapsed time."

"You're right." Elan responded.

He also knew, if the magic patterns gathered on top of the Demon Beasts or the Magic Beast, every level of their body strength could withstand magic patterns for 10 minutes gathered on their own carcasses. That is, not much time has passed since they were unconscious.

* swoshh *

Suddenly, an invisible aura seemed to be passing them. Aura is so cold, pricking into the bone. They just feel the air getting colder, considering the sun is getting lower.

Yes, they just feel that the air suddenly becomes cold. But, Elan can feel clearly, if someone is staring at him. In fact, he can also clearly sense that this person wants to kill him.

Elan's eyes twitched, turned toward the Inner Circle the forests. He focused his gaze and gritted his teeth.

'I can clearly feel this powerful killing intent. [That person] is right, before, I also feel this gaze but its just killing intent isn't this strong. Did he saw me kill the Black Wolves with the pressure of the aura and therefore intend to kill me?'

However, the aura was quickly pulled back, as Elan turned to him with a focused look.

'So, its true. He even accidentally released the killing intent while watching me...' he mumbled.
