Chapter 52 - Arena! (1/2)

...

With a sigh, Will brought Letty's ice sheet to his and grabbed her in his arms. Then immediately after that, he jumped and they both dove straight into the ocean. This action stupefied the Warthog as it was expecting a battle. Its nostrils flared and steamed as it stomped in anger.

As it was stomping, a blood red light suddenly came from the ocean. It encompassed the Warthog's entire line of sight. The light itself was not blinding, but it was still bright. After a few more moments the light dimmed and disappeared. This gave the Warthog a foreboding feeling and it stopped its stomping. The beast carefully observed the water to see what would happen next.

Plop.

All of a sudden a corpse appeared on the surface of the water near the shore. It was covered in cuts and it was barely recognizable.

Plop

Plop

Plop

Plop

This action repeated itself all across the shore as countless corpses started appearing, first one by one, then in their tens, then hundreds, till the entire shore was a grave of aquatic demonic beasts. Blood flowed like rivers as it lined the beach and dyed the sands red.

The stench of blood was one that usually motivated the Warthog, but this was a very strange situation.

'It's the human, he must have done this.'

With a snort, the Warthog concluded that Will was responsible. At first, it assumed him a weak coward and was regretting issuing him a challenge, but now it seemed things were not quite like that.

The final body to rise from the red sea was that of Will, one hundred percent intact. Letty had not risen with him, which made the Warthog come to a conclusion.

'He left to place her in a safe place. So that means he is not a coward, nor is he weak...Excellent!'

The Warthog squealed in joy as it saw Will rise from the bloody waters. ”Sorry about that, I had to take care of something. Now let's battle. I accept the boss challenge.”

The moment Will finished speaking, a feeling of disturbance washed over him. Will looked around, only to see that his surroundings had not changed much. The only thing different was that the corpses and the surrounding weaker demonic beasts had disappeared.

'No, it's us who have moved.'
