Chapter 20 - Studio City 6
Chapter 20: Studio City (6)
“On that day, my subjects were treated as slaves by you, and my subjects and I were abandoned by the gods.
“No! The gods betrayed us.
“They will only play that stupid harp in the sky and enjoy the worship of mortals.
“They are a bunch of cowards.
“I can only watch my queen scream in pain under the outsiders.
“Yes! I can only watch! Can’t fight back!
“I am bound by a cold and strong iron chain.”
The furious roar of the white-robed giant sounded behind me, and all around me were blue shadow aborigines with stone spears.
Cuckoo~
The saber-toothed tiger under me was anxiously hovering back and forth in place. It also knew exactly what the crisis was.
Rumble!!!
The sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and blue lightning intersects among the dark clouds.
The wind was getting colder and violent, and the bushes and coconut trees around me kept shaking and flapping their branches and leaves.
My breath was cold in the wicked wind. Time after time the troubles passed, and Rui was waiting for me. I didn’t know if he was still alive.
In just a few days, I owed Rui a great kindness. I wouldn’t stop now. The pain in my calf was still affecting my nerves. I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from fainting because of the pain. The pain made me sober because of the pain.
I grasped the fur of the Sabretooth Tiger with one hand. I didn’t know why it saved me. There must be a reason. My other hand held a light and shadow arrow.
Never stand still!
Even if I died, I had to see Rui. Even if my whole body was trembling with fear. I was a coward, I am a coward. I was so scared, I even felt my pants wet.
That’s right, I’m diapering. If you want to laugh, then laugh. I was just an ordinary person!
I didn’t have the power to shake the sky, I didn’t have the protection of the gods, and I could not pass the twelve trials of God like Hercules. The power I could have was human will and courage.
(Note: Hercules, the demi-god hero in mythology, passed the twelve trials of the gods and obtained twelve undead lives.)
Papa~
I desperately grasped the arrow in my hand, and my finger bones made a crisp sound. On the surface, I looked like a calm person, but it was all pretentiousness.
I felt a lumpy object on my waist. I looked down. It was the Pope’s cross given to me by Assassin in the white robe. I was burdened with the promise. He was so trusting in me that he gave it to me. I promised him that once I survived the sea, I would tell the Pope what happened in the sea, and my father was still waiting for me, and Rui was waiting for me.
I! Why must I die here!!! I can not be reconciled!!! I hate this world, it always makes me lonely, and always threatens my life! why!!!
Crack
Tears were in my eyes. My teeth were creaking, and my anger was like breaking the world, but my strength was as small as a drop of water.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
“Uh ah ah ah!!!” My voice roared in the squalls of the night, and I vented my anger and unwillingness.
The giant was walking towards me, and it would take a few breaths to pinch my throat and the saber-toothed tiger.
“Saber-toothed tiger, now my life is completely entrusted to you. In the name of Dante Reeves, I will guard your surroundings. If you run, we will definitely live.”
My roar made the cowhide scroll wrapped around my belt emit a faint green light, and the saber-toothed tiger under me roared.
“Outsider, you must pay for it.” The giant rushed towards me, his fingers covered with iron rings, and his fist made my hair flutter backward.
The saber-toothed tiger leapt. The giant’s fist interrupted the coconut tree next to it, the saber-toothed tiger led me into the encirclement of the blue shadow aborigines, and the saber-toothed tiger fell on a blue shadow aborigine. Its sharp teeth tore through the soil. He took the person’s throat, and then led me to sprint forward.
“Abobo!!” An aborigine shouted strange words from the tree and stabbed towards the saber-toothed tiger’s back. I grabbed its spear with one hand. The strength of the blue shadow aborigine was very strong, which made me almost lose. I fiercely inserted the arrow of my right hand into his neck, and phosphor-like blood fell on my face.
I pulled out the arrow from the necks of the aborigine, and the saber-toothed tiger led me to press down the three aborigines in front. It flicked its tail, and the tail beat the three aborigines away like a steel whip. Just this breathing time, more aborigines emerged in the surrounding area, densely clustered.
Roar~
The saber-toothed tiger roared and jumped up and stepped on the raised rock beside it. It took me to leap away from the head of the aborigines in front.
“Aquigua!” The blue shadow indigenous people shouted obscure words. They made a neat posture. They planned to penetrate me, and now the saber-toothed tiger and I had not landed on the ground.
I tore off my tattered inner lining and threw it downwards. This time, I bought the saber-toothed tiger and me a little breathing time. The rotating inner lining blocked their sight, and at the same time begged the saber-toothed tiger not to be shot.
This action did save me and the saber-toothed tiger. My tattered inner lining was pierced into a sieve. In less than a second, we escaped the crisis of death.
Puff, puff!
The saber-toothed tiger took me to fly across the aborigines. Now, they were still scattered in the front, but not as densely gathered in the back.
I waved the arrow in my hand, like an ancient cavalry drove the enemy. I didn’t hurt them much or even scratched their skin. Even if I couldn’t kill the enemy, I would try my best to share the danger the saber-toothed tiger was facing because of me to faithfully fulfill my promise.
The surrounding scenery began to change, and the ruins of broken walls appeared hundreds of meters in front of my eyes. As long as I entered it, the escape of the saber-toothed tiger and I would become simple.
I didn’t expect that the road from the coconut grove would be so short, and I didn’t expect that I would escape.
Huwewng~
Behind me came the piercing sound of tearing the air and the spinning iron axe.
“Jump up, saber-toothed tiger!” It seemed to understand what I was saying. It leapt high and swiftly. We dodged the spinning iron axe, but blue blood was sprayed on my face.
The saber-toothed tiger was split into two halves. I opened my eyes in amazement as I watched the saber-toothed tiger with me fall down. The corner of my sight saw the iron axe, and there was more than one! There’re two!
The saber-toothed tiger’s body fell to the rubble, and my body fell to the ground and rolled. My knocked mouth was filled with a bloody smell.
Oh roar~
The saber-toothed tiger, whose body was cut in half, groaned at me and lost its breath. Its once terrifying body in my eyes was now so strong and tall in my eyes.
With my arms on the ground, I couldn’t stand up. The injury on my calf made me unable to stand alone for the time.
“Outsider!!!” The white-robed giant rushed towards me with heavy steps. His golden beard was full of blue blood. As he ran, he grabbed the aborigines beside him and stuffed it under his invisible robe. The aborigine was cut into shredded shadows like being put into a paper shredder.
“Saber-toothed tiger, I won’t necessarily avenge you, but I will not watch you die and do nothing. Even if you are not a living life, you have won the respect of Dante Reeves.”
I stood up with an arrow in my hand supporting myself, watching the saber-toothed tiger that was cut in half. I nodded solemnly, turned, and walked towards the ruins. My speed was very slow, limping, but I still struggled for my life.
“For the great Alomitsu!” The damn words came from behind me. I couldn’t look back at the aborigines and giants. Now, I was racing against time.
But before I took a few steps, an old man in a red robe holding a blue oil lamp appeared in front of me. Behind him were hundreds of blue figures in shabby clothes. They were holding hoes and shovels for weapons. It was the figure I saw in the first half of the road.
I was caught in the middle again. This time, without the help of any human or animal. The red-robed monster in front and the white-robed giant in the back.
I let go of the arrow that supported me, and I couldn’t stand steady. I knelt on the ground. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the arrow and moved back to the saber-toothed tiger. If I were to die, let me die with the saber-toothed tiger. I didn’t have anything to face such a dilemma.
Tender. That’s right, I gently stretched out my hand and stroked the fur of the saber-toothed tiger. Even though it was light and shadow, its body was like a real existence.
The next moment, the red-robed old man stretched out his vine-like arm and pointed at me. The blue figure behind him rushed towards me shouting, and behind me came the roar of the giant and the roar of the aborigines.
“Come on!!!
“I, Reeves Dante, am so heroic that I am going to die.” I raised the arrow and planned to fight to the death. I opened my mouth desperately and screamed out all the air in my lungs. This was the loudest shout I made since childhood.
