Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 45: Mutual-Evit 5 of 10 “Red Rot” (Part 02)
Aware of not being able to win against the black-haired youth, those who were still standing started running around leaving behind their obligations. Fear is stronger than the need to fulfill responsibility.
Not chasing, Odo turned his head towards the main building of the settlement— the only place that was not burned by the blaze.
Pointing to it, the young man again said, “How much are you going to pay for this? Are you prepared for the consequences of breaking the treaty? Huh?!”
The thunderous voice until it sounded to the place where the leader of the Special Squad Moloia, Cornelisa Di’in, made him tremble and step back. Instinctively he was aware of not being able to win against such a person directly. Immediately the Second Lieutenant pointed his weapon at the head of Elder Kliasta, then pulled the trigger.
“Tch! What the fuck is that guy!!”
But before the Springfield Rifle smashed the Half-Einhorn's head before him, the metal on the firearm melted and the bullet did not shoot. “Ach!” The existing heat made Di’in drop his weapon. The metal on Springfield is completely melted due to the heat coming out of nowhere.
Shivering in fear, the brown-haired woman realized a grave mistake in what she had done. Odo's figure was clearly visible to him. Although Di’in had only seen the adult version of the figure for the first time, he immediately recognized it under the young man who was one of the individuals who should not be attacked or made enemies by the Moloia kingdom. Highlight the light blue eyes of the young man as if to tell Di’in everything.
Odo stepped in through the main door and stepped on the wooden floor. However, the thin, high-temperature shield that covered him did not burn the wooden floor because he did not install it on the surface of the foot.
Staring intently at the two Moloias, the young man again said, “You broke it .... It doesn't matter if I kill you, does it?”
Di’in could not answer, he was too scared and his mouth was tightly covered with cold sweat. In contrast to his leader, Ra’an pointed at the gun and said, “Sit's a shithead!! This is the mission our Master has given us!! Back off you!” The First Lieutenant's maid did not recognize Odo.
Taps!
Immediately silencing his subordinates, Di’in pulled him back and looked for a way out to escape. Looking to the right, left, and back with trembling. But the door was only one and it was right where Odo stood.
Gaining a sharp look from him, the Second Lieutenant's knee immediately went limp. He released the woman he silenced, then sat trembling on the wooden floor. Ra’an was confused to see the frightened expression of his superior. Staring at Odo, he realized who the figure before him was.
“You ... that boy back then? Why can wu—?”
Odo immediately approached with the God Step technique, went inside a distance of one meter in front of Ra’an and stared coldly at the blonde female. Di’in's face that saw it instantly paled, realizing the danger then immediately pulled Ra’an's robe and dragged him backwards.
Booh!!
The flames lit up right where Ra’an stood before. If it is not pulled back, it is already burned to the ground by the white flames. Immediately awake, the two Moloias jumped back and kept their distance. Their bodies did not stop trembling, Ra’an who really realized that the young man was stronger than the boy they had fought.
The atmosphere inside the hall of the main building of the Klista settlement became silent. The children and women who had been trembling before looked at the young man in a daze, still mixed with fear and began to grow hopes of the young man saving them.
Odo approached the Tribe Elder, Roro Nia’an, glanced at the flat female with the silvery hair unraveling it and asked, “Why? You can use Nujum, ‘kan? You should have known this was going to happen ..”
The elder's body trembled to the cold gaze of the young man. The hot aura emanated from Odo made Roro's body sweat in guilt, bowing its face and answering, “My spirit can't fight Fate. This ... is inevitable.”
“If it's inevitable, then why are you still alive?”
“Eh?”
The horned woman raised her face, looked in surprise and wondered why the young man could know such a prophecy. Before he could ask that question, Odo again said, “Destiny is not an absolute thing, it can be changed. Even death can be postponed.”
Regardless of the Clista Elder, Odo walked up to the two Moloias and gave them a cold look. Roro Nia’an could only sit limply looking at the young man's back. With tears in his eyes he stared. Odo's arrival was not in his predictions. Truly witnessing something beyond such fate, he fused his palms together and began to bow his head in prayer.
Odo glanced at the Clista Elder, then muttered, “Basic slave of destiny.” Returning to the front, his cornea turned greenish and analyzed. It uses Perception Speculation.
Some images are visible, dozens of ways to fight it simulate in the mind. Sword attacks, magic, and even dirty tactics he tried in the simulation of the mind. Getting some conclusions, the young man in black hair let out a light sigh and muttered.
“Top flat information from main memory, permission piercing up to level B allowed. Change type from Magus to Monk .... Shift finished. Reduction of any kind of activation of magic structures. Process Completed. Increased physical strength for close combat. Reflex adjustments. Reduction of pain level B. Adrenaline level B plus. Process finished.”
Odo's muscles tightened and some limiters were removed, physical strength increased and magic activation was drastically reduced. Looking flat at the two Moloias before him, he analyzed and searched for other information. That's all he did automatically, using the structural formula from Auto Senses.
“Valued, based on the information in memory and environmental conditions, sharp weapons and widespread attacks are ineffective.”
Odo dropped his dagger on the floor, then removed the Gauntlet resulting from the gas crystallization. It shattered like it was exposed to weathering, then its fragments fell to the floor and turned into ashes. Pairing the horses with his right hand and foot inclined forward, he said, “Smartial options, Karv Maga was chosen. Execution.”
Odo immediately jumped towards Ra’an who was closest to him. A right-handed fist floated into the woman's face. Ra’an gave a small grin, feeling such an amateur punch would not be able to hit him and just avoid lightly.
“Although he has great magic power, but it is true that he is an amateur about close combat,” Ra’na mind.
Focusing the western focus on the bent right leg, Ra’an walked into Odo's blind spot and shouted, “Stupid base! You chose a close-combat.” The woman launched a counterattack and was about to lock Odo's right hand.
However, the punch was simply camouflage for the main attack. Odo's left hand moved quickly within Ra’an's blind spot created because the woman was focusing on the right hand fist.
“Eh?”
Odo grabbed the woman's shoulder-length hair, then grabbed her legs and dropped Ra’an onto the floor. The fist was opened, then the right hand was immediately directed tightly to the woman's face.
Puak!!!
It was so loud that it made his brain tremble and blood flow from his nose. Not stopping with that, Odo brandished both of his middle fingers and strengthened them with small-scale reinforcement magic. Rising above Ra’an's sprawled body, Odo unhesitatingly pierced the hole of the two female ears with his middle finger and crushed her eardrum.
Jem!
The young man did not dodge, received the attack with his right hand, then drained it into Ra’in's face. Drakes! Di’in's feet stepped on the face of his own subordinates and made him completely lose consciousness.
“Damn you!!”
Di’in swung his right hand and struck with a fist back. It hit Odo right in the face, but the young man made use of the vector of the punch and made it a momentum to leap backwards, then spin in the air. Rolling on the floor and immediately getting up, he reassembled the horses without getting any heavy injuries.
The Clists were wide-eyed at the barbaric empty-handed fight. Those who are far from conflict have never seen such an unrelenting hand-to-hand fight.
Breathing in and supplying oxygen to blood vessels that have not fully recovered, Odo again uses Perception Speculation to figure out how to finish Di’in. But during the 50th speculation, the young man realized something that made him take off the horses.
It came from Di’in's sharp gaze standing near his subordinate who was losing consciousness. It was not the gaze of a criminal, it only looked like a woman who wanted to protect the person she considered valuable. From that Odo got one of the worst images, namely the general revenge of the brown hair woman.
Indeed there is no reason for Odo to care for such a grudge and he can also directly kill the two women Moloia. But if he did such a thing, some of his plans would be chaotic and it was likely that other tragedies would occur in different places due to ongoing grudges.
“Formula Infinity disabled ...”
Odo dispelled his fighting intentions, stood tall and stared flatly in annoyance. Got it Di’in was surprised to see the young man with a dead expression that showed his murkanya face.
“Jawab I .... Even though you know how precious a life is, why would you commit a murder like this? If you understand the meaning of warmth and desire to protect, why do you do this cruel thing?”
The question came out with a sad face, as if not willing to do something and implied hatred in the look of his eyes. It really made Di’in speechless in confusion, not understanding why the young man asked like that in the middle of a fight.
“What's because of the order?” ask Odo back.
Di’in instantly understood what Odo was trying to talk about. Trying to calm her mind, the brown-haired woman knelt down and clasped Ra’an's hand to prepare to take him away.
“Yes, this is due to the orders of our Master! You should have met him!”
Odo stared hatefully at the nonsense. Closing his eyes, he took the decision in his mind and said, “Not have I told him to delay the war until next year?”
“War? You think this is a war!? Very peaceful your mind! This kind of thing is just the beginning! Even if you kill us right now, my Master's people are still many! They will attack this place and make you!! Basic lowly!”
Hardik woman filled the room, making the Klista people who heard it began to wrath to hear the absurd. They stared hatefully, completely cursing the woman and her comrades.
Odo ignored all that, looked tired and asked, “You ... Seriously say that? You know I got into that list, ‘kan?”
“Hah! What are you talking about?”
“Your reaction was when I saw me ...”
Di’in was speechless, running out of topics to buy time. Betting on the occasion, the woman directly took the dagger on the weapon pouch on her waist and threw it towards Odo.
A flash of lightning was visible, then the blade that floated towards the young man was instantly stuck onto the wooden floor due to the electromagnetic waves. Di’in was wide-eyed and completely forgot that the young man had the power to manipulate the electric field. Odo breath to reduce the anger in the mind, then step closer to the brown hair woman.
“What's up? Are you running out of ideas to buy time? Just so you know, your people out there have all run away. The bandits are also dead .... Now, what do you want to do?”
Di’in's body trembled, completely overwhelmed with fear until he could not answer at all. A strong intimidation once again emitted the young man. Standing before the Second Lieutenant, Odo looked down and said, “Actually I would love to kill you both right now .... But it's not an individual problem. You should understand, war is a matter of country with country, not individual with individual. Emotions like this are useless, really.”
Odo held Di’in's head, then delivered a packet of information into his head. As if there was electricity running through her body, the information that made the woman enter her and made her fall. Guilt instantly overwhelms him, Di’in realizes his Master's true purpose which orders him to become the leader of the Special Squad.
“A-What is this? Kena—? You ... made that deal with my lord?”
Odo brought his lips closer to Di’in's ear, then whispered, “Important reason, just do it if you want to live and save the girl.”
Di’in forced himself to stop shaking. Breathing in and calming down, he snapped, “Tch! Shut up!!”
The Second Lieutenant immediately elbowed Odo's face until the young man fell to the floor. Immediately shouldering his subordinates who lost consciousness, Di’in took the combat knife from Ra’an's pouch and threw it towards Odo.
The young man rolled away dodging, then immediately got up. Staring sharply, he said, “My patience is up .... Enough already! You're going to die!” Odo increased his magic pressure, re-forced the magic circuit and used Hariq Iliah with a larger force than before.
The fire that burned the settlement outside began to move as if alive, becoming an array of red threads that floated into the building and towards where Odo was. Those red threads permeated into his body, giving the young man strength and recovering his wounds. The flames that engulfed the settlement were completely absorbed by the young man.
“Hah! Don't get big on your head! The lowly race! What is as important as that Half-Einhorn is to you!!” bentak Di’in with a face full of evil. A wide grin was installed, cynical gazes were spread and provoked everyone in the venue.
“Then, die—!”
But just as Odo took one step and was about to attack, his body suddenly collapsed instantly and the magic power that had been gathered instantly vanished from him. It made all the Klista people who saw it surprised.
“Hah! Weak ground,” despise the Second Lieutenant. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he immediately ran away to bring his subordinates.
Some Klista women are trying to chase him. But when Di’in picked up the daggers that Odo threw away and pointed at them, no one dared to attack and the Second Lieutenant of the kingdom of Moloia was escaping easily.
Seeing the woman leave, Odo sniffed lightly because it was exactly what he was after. He was not willing to let the woman run away after what he did. But if Odo kills them, the connection with Moloia's side will be cut off and the chances of lessening the impact of the war will be lost.
“Sialan .... If only I had not weakened this and moved faster,” thought Odo. Slowly his eyes closed and his consciousness disappeared.
