Did I Set up a Death Flag?

"Riku, you can't do it alone. Don't mess around!" Ivan also looked anxious and said in a low voice. It is common sense that when you meet other races, someone must die to make majority of the people survive.

If a person acts and meets any other race, even the weakest Demon race, if they are found, they will only be easily slaughtered and turned into meat.

Human beings are so weak.

Death may be a relief for human beings, but it has no effect on the big picture. It is an act of cowardliness.

In their opinion, Riku has a heart to die.

Riku's talent is undoubtedly the strongest of all of them. At the age of 13, he led people to flee everywhere. In four years, at the cost of only 46 deaths, the camp has stabilised to 2,000 people. In this settlement, everyone can die, or even take the initiative to die for Riku. But only Riku can't die, because he is the pillar of hope of the settlement, and their leader they are convinced by.

"Don't worry, I won't mess around." Riku said indifferently. "I'm calm. This action is the best for me to act alone."

"But..." Couronne was anxious to say something, but was interrupted by Riku.

"Couronne, do you think I will abandon you, my lovely and beautiful sister, to die? I haven't proposed to you yet." Riku suddenly smiled, and his golden eyes looked directly at Couronne's beautiful face and said slowly.

"W-What!!!" This directly shocked Couronne, and she let go of her hand holding Riku's clothes in a panic, and waved her hands to cover her red blushing face.

"Whew, it's really a confession of youth!!" Ivan was also stunned, and then laughed and joked. "According to me, you should have gotten married a long time ago.."

"Really, it's wrong to flirt with your sister! Riku!" Couronne blushed, and said in panic and joy.

"What I said will be fulfilled." Riku grabbed his backpack and walked out without looking back. "So, you just need to wait for me to come back."

"Really..." Finally, Couronne stretched out her hand and finally sighed helplessly. Although she didn't know what Riku was thinking, she understood a little. Riku is not going to die.

'However, Riku seems to be a little different…'

Couronne muttered with a slightly red face.

"Well, Couronne, are we really not going?" Ivan touched his beard and said to Couronne.

"Forget it, trust him this time. He is not someone who messes around." Couronne recovered and sighed.

"Oh, I see." Hearing this, Ivan also nodded. In the past, some of the things obtained that are of great use to human beings used to always be taken away by people who can't stand the great temptation.

However, they were discarded by Riku calmly. Because those things have a 'Elemental' reaction, which operate through 'spirit circuits' and will be perceived by other races. Even if the effect of these things is unimaginable to them, Riku can throw them away without hesitation.

(A/N: Elemental is the name for Magic of this world)

Therefore, the always calm Riku, should have his own considerations.

However, even if they trust Riku, worry is inevitable. After all, Riku didn't explain anything to them.

.......

After leaving the settlement, Riku, wearing a dust mask, looked at the sky and was silent.

The sky is blood red, as if the planet was bleeding because of war and destruction. In this bloody black sky, turquoise grey flakes floated everywhere and then piled up on the ground.

It looks beautiful, but Riku knows the danger of these things.

Because these 'black snow' with turquoise light are the bodies of Elementals. The light emitted by the destroyed Elementals before death.

-- [Elemental Bones]. It is extremely deadly and highly toxic for the vast majority of organisms, including humans.

By touching the skin, the skin will burn. If it falls into your eyes, your eyes will go blind, if it enters the body, your internal organs will be dissolved!

Therefore, these beautiful-looking 'black snow' symbolises death. Even powerful races can only avoid too much black ash.

"Human beings are such a tenacious race." With this exclamation, Riku took his horse, sat up, and then rushed in a certain direction.

Although the target is the wreckage of the Dwarf warship, his main goal is to find treasure chests.

And the nearest bronze treasure chest is in a little deviation from that place.

Three days later, Riku came to a hillside.

In the past three days, He encountered greater danger than he initially expected, and he bumped into several Demon species from afar. On the premise of avoiding physical exhaustion, Riku chose to take a detour.

Fortunately, the low-level Demon species have a low IQ and have no ability to hunt. Coupled with Riku's carefulness, he avoided being found.

Otherwise, Riku can only move trough space with Shambhala. However, that consumes a lot of physical strength.

After all, Riku is just an ordinary person, much worse compared with the highly trained people in Akame ga Kill!. With his physical strength he can use the Teigu only several times.
