Me and the mysterious people

The sky is clear.

The clouds are pure white.

The wind is whooshing on different sides, pushing the different leaves from different plants and trees.

The sight I have is really good; the calm, clear blue sky, the slowly moving clouds, the birds on their flights, and the sight of the whole kingdom that is finally safe are healing my exhausted body. It is indeed healing me from prostration.

"This is good; this is a situation I really need."

I can feel the refreshing wind rubbing against my skin. The cool air that touches my nose is very pleasant to breathe.

I do indeed do subsequent breathing and relax myself to the fullest.

- I keep staring at the guy who is floating on top of the kingdom. -

"What happened?"

My eyes then started to tear up.

"What... happened... "?

My voice is toned upside-down. My mouth cannot say the word straight because it is interrupted by my raging emotion.

"Is it done?"

I cannot believe what happened, and I really could not, no matter what.

"Is that it?"

I don't know what I am feeling right now. Am I happy? Am I angry?

For the safety of the kingdom, I am sure!

But,

The thing that is bothering me,

"what happened?"

I wanted to know.

"Hey! What did you do? Hey! Who are you?"

I am calling very loudly, though I know I cannot be heard. I am outside of the kingdom, which is really impossible to notice. The only thing I do is call out really loud.

"Hey! Wait!"

I am calling out to him very eagerly, even though he is not yet moving to leave. I tried to stand up, but my leg is out of energy to make me do it. When I get up, after a few steps, I fall back to the ground.

I really wanted to know what happened. Not because of his defeating the monster, but because of how fast he had to do it.

"What? Is that it?"

It keeps coming to mind.

"The monster was indeed strong, right?"

How did this guy kill it? Actually, his form is not even a battle suit or any of the advanced mechanics of our level. Our kingdom is one of the leading nations in the world, which makes it clear that the world will be in chaos without it. Just as this kingdom loves peace, that is what makes a suitable ruler.

But how does this man defeat it so easily? Is the other nation that far away from us already?

But again, he is not using any of the combat-type suits. The only clothing he has is a pure white one-piece outfit with long sleeves, wooden sandals, and a brightly shining golden wide girdle.

It is only a simple garment with no energy stones or such. It has no enhancers, boosters, air pressure repellers, or neural controller devices. It does not even have an air wall, yet it stands in the air like it was nothing but a simple footing, just as it is in the ground.

"Well..."

I talk silently.

I guess what I'm feeling is frustration. I cannot do anything. Am I going to ask the guy how he defeated the monster? Obviously yes! But no, not really. I am just trying hard to reach out to him because I want him to protect the kingdom. I want him to end the cause of these troubles!

"Hey! Wait! The dungeon is over there!"

Arrrgh, my leg! Damn it!

I have no energy stones left for boosters.

" Arrgh!!!...

Movement like this will bring me to the spot in one month! "

"Hey! Destroy the dungeon! It's over there!

Aaargh....hey!!!"

"You are capable of doing it, aren't you?"

My voice ran out of strength.

"Tsk, I might really look like an idiot, shouting, yelling, and all, even though I know no one is hearing me."

Growl..

Huh? What now?

Tsk, haha, am I even feeling hungry? Seriously, in this situation? Hahaha, this is really embarrassing. My stomach hurts, and it's not even a pain I can ignore.

Once again, my eyes tear up due to frustration.

It seems this is the only thing I am doing this whole day.

Are you alright?

I heard a voice.

"Huh?, who..."

I turn to my back, which is where the voice came from. Upon turning, I see two people. The other one is a man sitting in a fallen tree, and the other one is a little girl standing beside him.

Are you alright? The guy asked again.

"Who are you people? Are you with the guy floating in the kingdom's sky?"

I responded with a question, putting theirs aside.

"Yes, we are. Anyway, are you alright?"

"H...uh?" Due to unexpected happiness and being very surprised, some air inside my body was brought outside with the word, relieving my throat and my mouth.

"How did you defeat the monster easily? It was so powerful that it makes me lose hope. So how? You can see from the surroundings how intense our battle was."

I immediately ask the guy, for fear they will suddenly leave.

"Yes, yes, I can see how hard you've fought with the monster."

The guy answered with the purpose of calming me down.

You could see the surroundings in a wide range that are really devastated.

I ask again,

"Uhm, why are you so strong?"

"Huh? Ahahahaha, what are you talking about?"

The guy gently laughs.

"You know what I mean, take a look at my body. I definitely believe I have done everything I have; and it's not something that is futile. I can confidently say I can cut a continent into half if the land and sky are not fortified. I am very fast. I am very strong. Using my adaptable mode, I can say I am unbeatable because of the fusion of the two. Add the sword, which makes it triple, and there is that star-shaped light that I approximately estimated at 700 percent.

Overall, imagine the explosion to be made by the mixture of those four, which is 1000 percent.

To be exact, I am 10 times stronger than my full power. My full power that can separate continents!

It hit the monster and destroyed half of its body, which is acceptable enough for me. Actually, I got my right arm ripped apart because of the powerful blow, but... "

I stuttered.

"But who would've thought that the damage on its body was healed in no time. I did not even notice. It healed as if it were just a mere illusion and delusion. I really felt the feeling of wanting to ask; what is this creature I have been fighting from the very start until now? It's like the hope escape from me and I can't find it anywhere in the darkness."

I look at the guy.

"And you people appear, kill the monster, and "really" kill the monster without giving it the ability to regenerate itself. Can you see how far the difference is?

Now, please talk and grant me an answer.

Can you tell me what happened? "

I am surprised that the guy is really interested.

He has this eye that really collects the details of what I am saying. I can even feel the sadness on his face, even though I am the one who should have.

"Young man, tell me, is there anything impossible to God?"

The guy gave me a question that was supposed to help me. I have nothing to say, but I know there is none. So I said...

"I am sure there are none."

I think I know where this is going.

"So, why are you asking how we become strong, as if there is something impossible to God?"

Huh? I think to myself. I can tell he's right, but I am not satisfied.

"Are you saying God is your source of power?"

I am shocked by his answer.

"Well, why? Where do you think we got our power? Is your life owned by anyone other than our god?"

Huh...? I don't understand; his answer is very far from the one I need, but I can tell he is right. I cannot deny his answer, but I hope he answers me according to my question. I will try another question.

Can you destroy the dungeon?

The guy frowned a little and said...

"why?"

Huh? Another unexpected answer How does he escape the question by asking "why" when it's obvious why the dungeon needs to be destroyed? Anyway, I'll go along with it.

"Why? Is it not because the dungeons are troublesome and dangerous?"

I answer by explaining the obvious. I wonder how he can avoid the direct question this time.

"Troublesome? Dangerous? In what way?"

The guy respond.

Huh? What? This is not getting funny.

"What are you talking about? Can't you understand the many deaths that monster has caused?"

I see; this is how strong people act. Needless to say, that companion of his just asked why the people were worried, even though it was crystal clear that it was because of the assault.

"Are you telling me it's more troublesome and dangerous to fight monsters than to fight with your fellow humans?" - the guy uttered -

Huh? I react, unable to reply.

The guy added:

Let us suppose the dungeon is gone. Where do you think you will use the advanced weapons you people made and are so proud of?

"Huh? Well..."

I am surprised by the way this person thinks. But I still have my reasons.

"Are you saying we are going to battle with each other? Who idiots are going to do it?"

The guy replied with full sarcasm.

"Yeah, humans are not idiots, and humans have never killed each other before, especially in your kingdom."

Hearing that really gets on my nerves. I suddenly remembered the person who killed my family.

"What are you talking about?" I have this very annoyed face on me while looking at him.

"It is what I am talking about."

I lower my glare when I see his eyes. He is so serious that it makes me recall his saddened face just recently. Does he have some horrible experience? Anyway, I can't afford to annoy this guy, rather...

"say..."

He looks up to me and is in his normal mood, or should I say his gentle mood?

"Yes, what is it?"

He asks with his eyes closed and with a really comforting smile.

"Ah! Phew..." I feel relieved.

"Can I join you?"
