Chapter 70: Fate They Can't Avoid



Chapter 70: Fate They Can't Avoid

It was so bright outside, Elisa couldn't see who was coming. From that person's shadow, he was a man.

For a man to enter through the back door, that means he has important business. Maybe a janitor or a doctor.

If possible Elisa don't want to get involved with that person. But who would have thought. Suddenly the man sprang up and hugged Elisa.

This, of course, was shocking. Elisa reflexively prepared a fist to attack the man. But the man's familiar scent stopped Elisa.

His hair, appearance, and also the feelings that came from that man brought out longing in the heart.

"Ars?"

The Greedy Young Master. Elisa couldn't possibly mistake that cold man. But what happened to him? Why did he suddenly hug Elisa?

'Hugging?'

It was a tight hug that almost drowned Elisa. She realized that it wasn't a hug a stranger would do, but an intimate hug that only people who are close to you were allowed.

Elisa got so nervous, her head turning red with embarrassment and confusion.

"H-hey! What are you doing all of a sudden?! This is a public place, at least e-e-eehh, that's not what I meant!"

Elisa confused herself. At the time, Ars's hug was not an intimate hug that meant to be dirty. It's a begging hug, as he really needs that hug.

Elisa finally realized this and stopped being nervous. Feelings of worry began to appear as Ars's hug grew tighter.

"What happened?"

She started hugging Ars back in response.

That man had been missing for two weeks since he was last seen on Silver Steel Mountain. Now he has returned, but brought rough feelings with him.

"Did something happen?"

Elisa had known this man for half a year. She had seen with her own eyes that this man is so strong. The man can achieve whatever he wants.

He didn't seem to have any wounds on his body. His scent still smelled fresh. Randi, his best friend, is still not recovering but is not diagnosed with death that will take him away.

Then what could make the man so depressed like this?

Whatever it is, Elisa doesn't want to underestimate it.

The hug didn't seem like it would last a moment. But Elisa couldn't let them continue there.

"Hey, let's go somewhere empty."

Elisa touched Ars's two hands, asked him to stretch them. She then took the man's right hand, led them to a nearby unused patient room.

During the trip, Elisa just stared ahead, not wanting to see what expression Ars made. Because that is a shame, and Elisa doesn't want to violate that privacy.

When they got to the room, Elisa locked the door, then walked to the bed. There they both sat, then Ars immediately hugged Elisa back.

Elisa once again accepted the embrace with love.

"Don't worry, I'll always be with you if you need me."

Elisa stroked Ars's head. In that moment, she forgot all the doubts she had. Just focus on being with the guy she seems destined for.

"Gods will not remain silent on this cruelty."

The wizard leader spoke his last words before dying.

Ars took a deep breath. His chest trembled from the pressure he had received during that brief battle.

But somehow, the battle was not over yet.

"They are in there!"

"Catch them and kill them!"

Outside, Dark Invaders are busy with something. Ars walked out and saw what those despicable creatures were doing.

They all looked like they wanted to break into Father Tree golem's body. When they succeeded, many of them entered. After a while, they came out with humans: men, women, and children in their hands.

They must be refugees who cannot join the fight.

The poor humans screamed in fear. Many of them shouted the name of someone who seemed to be the Wizard leader.

All Dark Invaders look the same. They are all like goblins. After going through a chaotic war, it seemed that their numbers had decreased considerably. For whatever reason, they started cutting the refugees into many pieces.

The parts of the body that got cut were thrown randomly.

Ars focus on one part of the body. That part of the body began to be enveloped in black ashes. The black ashes began to form a body. The body became a single Dark Invaders soldier ready to fight.

Like a parasite, all the refugee's body parts that got cut became new Dark Invaders soldiers. They are all ready to move on to the next fight.

"Taproot of Father Tree is one of the spices that can be used as ingredients for making potions."

Ars finally feels that he finally will be back to Terra. But in the process of returning, he still witnessed the mass slaughter to multiply Dark Invaders numbers.

Everyone who was still conscious looked where Ars was in agony. They ask for help, but no one will help them.

It is all in God's plan.
