Chapter 22

"That one just now… what?"

"About that huh…"

Reynold was confused about what to answer because he had just experienced such an event. Issac imagined himself battling the Diligent Prince Waldwin, as well as seeing the events when Reynold used his new powers.

"Sorry. I can't tell you. But for sure, I got this when my parents gave me a message in the form of inheritance. So… you don't need to ask anymore."

The silver-haired youth wanted to ask further. But it seemed Reynold didn't want to talk about it. Isaac didn't want to ask any further questions either. His arms thrashed like a stray dog ​​barking. Asked Reynold to find his new prey. But can not. Diligent Prince Waldwin was already in a lifeless state. Isaac scratched his head. He saw the body of Diligent Prince Waldwin until he groaned in pain at the last minute. Until something stuck in Diligent Prince Waldwin's mind. A red necklace, oval in shape resembling raindrops. The red glow dazzled both Reynolds and Issac's eyes.

"I… where am I?" murmured Diligent Prince Waldwin his eyes wide open.

He looked up around him. A place without a room. So quiet without any sound like drops of water and so on. Forcing himself to adapt to an unusual scope. As Diligent Prince Waldwin recalled, he met two rude and ungrateful young men. Suddenly, a screen appeared in the form of a battle between him and Issac and Reynolds.

His two eyes were in shock. The sound of friction between the two weapons clashed. Isaac sighed. Walk quickly towards a door that is plastered there. Brown color with three bars of iron bars. Isaac opened the door. Reynold's figure was flabbergasted at the unusual situation.

In a way, the room was filled with thousands of humans and monsters in a lifeless state. It spreads a pungent smell around it. The table was made of giant stone covered in blood splatters. Dozens of hands lay on the table. The index, middle, thumb, and little finger are hung and tied with wire. But no ring finger at all. Reynolds heard the door squeak. Turned to Issac who was trying to hold back nausea. On each wall, there is an eponymous inscription written asking for help.

"Absolutely crazy," said Issac.

"You think so? Normal people would definitely curse this place and burn it down."

"Is that so? I thought we should just leave this place—"

"Not. I can't let that bastard prince exist."

"Wait! He is still alive?"

Just as Issac wanted to say something, the figure of a man wearing a robe was. Staggering walking carrying a large sword weapon was dragged. The metallic screech of the sword against the floor spattered a small fire. His jaw was half hollow, his hair fell out and his right hand was emaciated.

"Introducing… my name is Waldwin. Which of you would you like to be a trial rabbit for?"

"No, thank you!" said Isaac and Reynold in unison.

Reynold and Isaac saw a re-recorded battle. Both of them were in shock. Being in an unknown place has spawned a terrifying monster figure. In the form of a spider with a sharp gaze on his eight eyeballs.

"Human… Or the newest The Protector has been chosen. Who would have thought the two humans were chosen with different powers."

"I do not believe it …"

"That silver-haired human is mine."

"The man with the dark arm is mine."

"I found it!"

"Can you guys stop this stupid fight?" finally Reynold interrupted.

The silver-haired youth stepped on the echoing surface of the floor. There's something out of the ordinary about this place. Issac turned his head without any activity. Surprisingly, there was no weapon in his grip. Both Reynold's broken hilt and Isaac's spear and shield.

The spider figure approached him. Begins to enlarge and emit an aura of intimidation. His eyes blinked. Shows something more of the fight between himself and Reynolds with Diligent Prince Waldwin.

Issac realized that Diligent Prince Waldwin's abilities were starting to improve more than usual. The silver-haired youth had a hard time finding a weakness. A stab to the hip did not mean that Diligent Prince Waldwin just fell. Instead, the creature twisted its neck like an owl with an eerie look. Both his eyeballs along with a strong beat had succeeded in lowering Issac's ego.

The silver-haired youth retreated backward. Gripping his spear. Black magic energy flowed into his spear, running fast as he charged toward Diligent Prince Waldwin. However, the legs and arms are wide and forked. To this extent, Diligent Prince Waldwin had to put all his strength into it. Reynold spun the saw blade to no avail. The wood branches harden. Diligent Prince Waldwin twisted his neck again. His eyes fell on Isaac. The silver-haired youth lowered his chin. Both legs are back. Then plan to counterattack. He turned to the right. Observing the weakness there while strengthening the left arm. The shield emits energy. Forming a spiral, it shot towards Diligent Prince Waldwin. However, the attack bounced upwards. Reynold twisted the limb from the left. Targeting Diligent Prince Waldwin's waist. The slit from the middle was broken. There was a cracking sound there. Reynolds huffed in annoyance. Backtrack while throwing explosive bombs filled with alcohol. The fragment hit Diligent Prince Waldwin. Caused burns all over his body. The silver-haired youth turned his shoulders back. Then lunged at Diligent Prince Waldwin and used his dark magic elemental shield. The splash of water from Reynold's footing soaked his footwear. Diligent Prince Waldwin growled. Launch a counterattack. However, Isaac stabbed back. The grip of his right arm on his wand was strong. Until the resultant profuse blood on the palms. Issac didn't care about his condition as long as Diligent Prince Waldwin was defeated. From behind, Reynold took a risk. The saw blade swing started to crack. Metal shards fell to the floor. He didn't have any weapons to use. The crooked smile of Diligent Prince Waldwin.

An invisible attack, coming from Diligent Prince Waldwin. The diagonal pattern attack hit Reynold's body. He was taken aback. His palms pressed against the wound so that blood wouldn't seep into the armor. Both legs were forced to retreat. Reynold hated this but left some to Issac as bait. Apparently, Reynold wanted to do something. Palms below. Take out black energy and throw it away.

Issac glanced at the movement of Reynolds. While he was still conscious, the silver-haired youth ran, turning to the right with a stab to the waist. Kick the right foot takes precedence. Give off a very strong intimidating aura. Diligent Prince Waldwin attacked by releasing hundreds of branches around his body. Isaac stepped back. Dodge through rolling right side jump three times. The branches spread in all directions. The silver-haired youth backed away again. A sharp gaze was directed at Diligent Prince Waldwin. When he was about to attack again, a spider just appeared. The size is not too big. He also spouted cobwebs. Diligent Prince Waldwin is trying to get out of here. But it didn't work because the net in question was coated in black energy. It sucks all the energy in Diligent Prince Waldwin's body. A scream escaped his mouth. Begging for not being able to stop Reynold's actions. Black chains and similarly colored cords wrapped around him so that Diligent Prince Waldwin couldn't breathe. Reynolds breathed a sigh of relief. Sweat trickled down his face. Issac glared at Reynolds. Hope he provides an answer for her.

Reynold raised his guard. Backward. Gazing sharply at the silver-haired youth and closing the door to their hearts and minds. The spider looked at Isaac. It seemed, he still didn't want to talk about it.

"If you insist on not wanting to talk, I'll explain to him."

"How dare you-"

"What? Did you forget that the spider is my son? I left an unhatched egg with them. From time to time, my son will need your help. And they answered it by taking care of my son like a brother!"

Reynold bowed limply. His legs were unable to move. His palms gripped his head hard. Shouted hysterically saying Mom and Dad's nicknames. Meanwhile, Issac turned to the spider beside him.

"What are you doing with him?" demanded Isaac.

"I was just reminding Reynold that he must never forget his own family. And don't ignore the people around you. That's the job of a Protector. Protector of the world and family. Not like Skye Cooper who earned the rank of The Protector of that damned Kingdom! It was just an illusion, created by him so that he could become a protector for the weak. In fact, it's not that simple!" the spider growled as it approached Reynold's face.

A groan escaped Reynold's mouth. Calling the names of his parents saw tears welling up. Isaac listened to the spider's words. Explains the truth about Reynold's past.
