Incubus

(

[Inside Guts' dream]

Guts was running. He was running and running in a very long corridor.

He was running as if a deadly monster was chasing him.

As Guts kept running, a huge eye was watching Guts from the top of the corridor.

But there seemed to be no end to Guts' running.

When Guts was getting tired, he decided to lean against the wall and rest for a while.

As he rested, he started to look around. But there was no monster chasing him, no giant eye watching him.

As he tried to figure out what was happening, he felt a familiar pain in his neck.

His brand began to ache and bleed.

This meant that an apostle was after him.

Exhausted, he tried to run away. But a mysterious voice came from behind him.

The mysterious voice said, "You cannot escape us."

Guts was distracted by the voice and didn't pay any attention to where he was stepping.

When he felt the pain in his foot, he knew he had stepped on something bad.

It was a sharp iron stake.

Guts hurriedly tried to pull his foot off the stake. because he knew something was coming up behind him.

As Guts was trying to get away, the mysterious voice came again.

The mysterious voice said, "You can't escape us."

When Guts heard the voice, he tried again to free his fat. But when he tried to grab his foot, he realized something.

The mechanical arm that was there before had disappeared.

Guts turned around in fear as he heard the monster talking behind him.

Before him was the mutated fetus-like creature he had seen in the dungeon in the previous town.

Guts screamed in fear and was jolted awake.

Knowing that the presence he felt above him was probably connected to the nightmare he had just had, he drew his knife.

He then stabbed the monster on top of him and threw it off him.

The monster Guts threw fell on the wooden barrel Puck was sleeping on.

When Puck saw the monster that Guts had killed next to him, he started flying around the tent in panic.

Hearing Puck's screams, the little girl and the old man looked inside the tent to see what had happened.

As the little girl looked at the dead monster, she asked in fear.

"What is this?"

Guts answered her question.

Guts said, "It's an Incubus.

"An evil spirit that gives people nightmares and then feeds on their fear."

Guts then thought to himself.

Guts, "Shit, they won't even let me sleep.

The old man said, "An evil spirit?

"Are they real?"

Guts, "You believe in God, but you don't believe in evil spirits, old man?"

This time it was Puck who asked the question.

Puck, "But how did he get here?"

Guts answered that question too.

Guts said, "Because of the brand on my neck."

"This brand calls them to me."

Guts was about to say a few more words when the brand began to bleed and ache, just like in his dream.

Guts grabbed his sword and got out of the carriage and then spoke.

Guts, "Don't come out."

"Incubi is born from the blood of dead people and hatred.

"In other words, there must be corpses here that gave birth to it."

As Guts continued explaining about incubi, suddenly the horses began to spook and rear up.

The little girl disobeyed Guts and got out of the carriage to calm the horses.

Seeing the little girl coming out, Guts started shouting.

Guts, "Idiot, didn't I tell you not to get out?"

Guts tried to catch up with the girl, but he saw that she had a spear through her stomach.)

[In Hokage's office]

No one in the office was looking in Kushina's direction.

They all knew Kushina was angry.

Kushina spoke with a murderous smile on her face.

Kushina said, "Can I find these monsters called incubus?"

In her mind she was thinking about how she could torture the incubus.

Tsunade, "Calm down Kushina, because of you I can't hear Minato reading."

Orochimaru, "But really, how can he find these incubi?"

"Sensei, have you seen this monster called incubus?"

Hiruzen, "I've never seen a monster like it."

"I've never even heard of a jutsu that could work."

Jiraiya, "Really, even a monster from another world is interesting."

Seeing that Kushina was still not completely calm, Minato spoke up.

Minato said, "Kushina, if I find this monster called incubus, I promise I will bring it to you."

"So calm down a bit so we can read the rest."

Okay, I'm still using the tactic of dividing a chapter into two parts.

Oh, that's because I found a more functional use for it this time.

A couple hours after a chapter airs is when it attracts the most readers.

That's why I'm going to publish two chapters at different times of the day.

This way I'm likely to attract more readers, so please don't be angry that the chapters are short.

Also, the book has 100.000 views.

I don't know if this is a high number for a fanfic, but thank you anyway.

For giving me something to show off.

Anyway, have a good day and happy reading.
