477 The Systems History: Their second encounter (1/2)

”Let me go! Let me go!” Churu screamed at the top of her lungs as she aggressively shook the man off of her. However, no matter how she struggled, it was all for naught. She wasn't as strong as before. She doesn't have her divine powers. Just what kind of problem did she put herself to?

”Let me—”

”Silence!” Before Churu could even scream her nth shout for help, her vision went black as a strong impact landed on her nape. She was certain that he never intended to kill her, but that moment, Churu died. Or rather, her host's body died for the second time.

”Oy, did you kill her?” Just then, two men riding on their horses appeared behind the man who silenced Churu.

”I didn't. I just silenced her — she's too loud.” Confident that he held his strength back so to not kill her, the man was unaware that although he held himself back, it killed Churu's frail body.

”Be sure not to kill the good, that was what the master ordered.” The other man from behind muttered as he sped towards the deepest part of the forest.

”That steed was tailing us — kill it!” Still hearing the noise Kaze was making not far away from them, the man who held Churu captive emotionlessly uttered. The other man executed his order as he made a turn to kill the horse that was tailing them even without a rider.

Little did they know, a monster was on her way to wreak havoc.

”Churu, wait for me,” Tora whispered as she hopped from one tree to another at lightning speed. Although she doesn't have her steed Kaze with her, Tora's pace wasn't any less slow than the men as her adrenaline rush kicked in.

Aside from an unexplainable rage that overwhelmed her heart that slightly made her vision turn red, her worries towards the little girl overlay every other emotion in her heart. There's only one thing she has in mind, retrieve Churu in one piece — alive.

”I'll certainly send these vermin forth to the other world!” Tora swore, made an oath which she would surely do. How dare they try to harm Churu, not to mention, under her watch? She would kill them, exterminate every single one of them and make them regret it for the rest of their lives.

Tora continued on her pace to where the elderly man instructed. However, as she followed Churu's abductor, she saw Kaze's figure lying on its own pool of blood. Hence, she immediately jumped from the tree and landed near Kaze.
