Isekai: New Adventure In The Fantasy World
76. Masalalu Rio

The forest was quite dense with leaves and green grass grasses that adorned the road before them. Coupled with small flower blossoms growing among the shrubs it adds to the beauty of the forest.

Fresh air smelled to calm the four youths who were now walking leisurely. Plus the sweet chirping of birds that make them feel calm.

After what they had experienced these few days, this kind of calmness deserved them, right?Yeah, at least this forest wasn't as creepy as before.

Four young men seemed to be walking down the path in the forest. Not long ago they walked into the forest following a young man they had just met earlier.

It looks good, but it's a bit annoying.

Only, for some reason there was still a sense of doubt and suspicion in the silver-mannered young man. If he was also the precious item of the Inimcus race, it was not impossible right if he also still followed his orders.

Zuka stared hard. Given how his royal army was controlled by that creature, it could have been the same Rio.

"By the way Rio was, how did you become the target of that Inimicus chief?" Zion's question arrived which also made Zuka take her eyes off in surprise.

Rio seemed to remember. "The whole story."

"Short right" Zion said again.

"Okay, as I said earlier, I'm the prince of the Dark Moon kingdom. Just like Zuka, your kingdom was destroyed by that cruel creature. It was me and my brother, Ren was training when suddenly there was a commotion in the throne room. We immediately ran to get there. But, when we got there, our parents were killed." Rio paused a little of his speech.

"At that time we were obviously fighting back, but unfortunately, our ability was still far below it. They easily caught us and made us experimental goods. Sometimes I wonder why they do that? But to my surprise, that Inimicus chief used our uncle's body as his host."

Zion and Zuka were a little surprised. So the creature used the bodies of others to attack? Does the head of the Inimicus have no body of his own?

"Is your uncle the man you love?" Ask Zuka.

Rio looked over and nodded. "Yes. Our uncle was very good. He even thinks of us as his own sons. It never seemed to me that he would be the target of such a cruel creature."

"But, does the head of Inimicus have no body of his own and must possess the body of another to take over another kingdom?" Ask Hali.

but Zion looked at her as if to say, you know what I want to ask. Does she have telepathic abilities?

Rio seemed to shake his head. " I don't know for sure myself. All I know is that the head of Inimicus does not want his real identity revealed. Therefore, he searched the host's body to ease his plan."

"In addition, by using people who are dear to the target, the success rate will be higher because it is less likely that my target will hurt let alone kill people who mean to him." Said Zion.

There's a point too. That way he does not need to worry too much because he already has a suitable hostage to hold the intention of his weapons to not escape that easily.

They don't want their loved ones to get hurt, do they?

Silently, Zuka clenched her strong hand. In his heart he was upset because of Avren, his best friend who had to be a victim.

Avren is the most valuable person to Zuka. People who have been together, and are always there for Zuka both like and sorrow.

Although his attitude is quite cold and sometimes angry, but behind all that, Avren is a kind-hearted young man who cares deeply about people around him. It's just, he conveyed it in his own way.

Without him noticing, a hand landed on his shoulder, making the young man gasp in shock.

"You're worried about Avren, aren't you? " Task Zion at her brother. Seeing how the worried look on Zuka's face was, it was obvious that she was worried about Aven.

Zuka just nodded in return.

"We can definitely save her. Don't give up!"

Zuka smiled. Although he and Zion had not known for a long time, somehow he felt so comfortable around the young man. Like being protected from danger.

"Thank you... Because I want to help." Zuka said with a smile.

Zion brought herself closer oada Zuka. "Thank you for keeping my secret." Zion whisper slowly.

Zuka nodded hearing that and fused her thumb and index finger, hinting "OK"

"By the way Rio, what happened when you were his prisoner?" Tanya Hali caught the attention of Zion and Zuka.

It could have added to their information regarding that race.

"That chief Inimicus always absorbed our magic energy and forced us to follow his orders. Not infrequently, we also kill people because of that."

Rio continued. "But I realized, it can also be used as a training for me and Ren to be stronger. Silent silence we practice to maximize our magic power. Yep... Although now still rich fugitives are pursued by the police, but at least we managed to escape. Although... There's something I regret. Because of that and my carelessness I must be separated from my brother."

The three youths near her approached Rio. "Just calm down, we'll help you save your brother!" Zion tried to calm down.

Rio sighed in relief. "I'm not worried now. Because the hero is with me, so I don't have to be afraid." Said Rio who was actually inviting questions.

"I'm surprised, you called me a hero. What hero do you mean?" Ask Zion.

Rio frowned his forehead. He looked at Zion for a moment and turned his gaze back to the front, avoiding a fallen tree in front of him.

Zion who felt neglected puffed up her irritated cheeks. "Hey answer me!!"

Rio still did not answer. He put his hands behind his head.

Really, the young man made her upset.

"Isn't that really the purpose of your arrival?" Rio finally said.

But wait, the destination of arrival? Can't Rio know if he reincarnated into this world? Did Haru tell her?

"I don't know what you mean."

Rio raised next to his eyebrows. " Are you sure you don't know?"

Zion's speechless. He was afraid he would have to be stuck like this. Where did Rio get all that information? What does he mean by the purpose of his arrival?
