16 WaterDrop 3 (1/2)

A man could be seen walking through the streets of the silent city, on his back, a huge felines corpse was hanged.

Chains coiled around his arms, and two worn-out blades attached to them, fresh blood was visible on the blades.

The man was of course link.

after yesterday's event, he tried questioning other members of the group, but all he got was stutters as replies and cries of children, these people were very afraid of him.

It wasn't that he looked scary or something like that, rather he had a very handsome visage coupled with blue eyes and dark hair, he was a true lady killer.

but him killing the knights so brutally had a very visible effect on the groups' mentality, some were even traumatized and would cry and start begging for mercy at the sight of him.

it was as if he had become a boogeyman.

honestly, it was an understandable reaction after all these were modern people, hardly did they witness any shedding of blood.

and links performance wasn't a simple show of just blood and Gore.

it was a massacre.

so he decided to put off, his questions until the group was truly ready to reply.

afterward, he secured a safe area for the group, he couldn't just abandon them after saving their lives, that would make no difference than leaving them at the hands of death, and he would rather finish what he had started.

so, early this morning, he went out hunting for prey.

when the presence of world energy came in contact with the being of the earth, several animals mutated, even some instinct animals came to existence once again.

but these beasts pose no challenge at all to the current link, their prowess were limited to F rank.

the feline beast on links back was actually but a domesticated cat once, but after its mutation, it grew to become something like a tiger, but slightly larger.

after walking for a while, link had made it to what seemed to be a high school.

this was the place that he had chose for the previously enslaved humans.

it was the closest place he had found that could host the group.

the children were very tired and so were the elders so he chose the nearest place possible.

stepping in, he walked through the empty hall towards one of the classrooms at the far right.

entering the classroom, the people present were all alarmed, but instantly dropped their guard when they recognized his figure.

at this sight, link concluded that the group was now in a better state of mind than yesterday.

well, the majority of them...

after checking in on their state, he walked out once again and started processing the huge cat.

he hanged the corpse to the roof through its legs using a rope that he took from one of the corpses of the knights.

and cut off the corpses head so that it would bleed out more easily.

as he was dismantling, he heard the shaky steps of a human walking towards him.

stopping his process he saw the women that he had tried to interact with the day before was the one approaching him.

he could see that her body was shaking, her eyes full of fear, but she didn't stop heading toward him.

at the sight of link turning around the woman stopped and slowly opened her mouth.

”t-t-thank y-y-you” she said while bowing all the way down.

'oh, she recovered faster than I thought she would'

mused link, then he brought out the most peaceful smile he could, in vigilance that the women would faint once again.

”Let me get you a seat”

and just like that, a chair appeared in the hands of link, that was what the middle-aged woman saw, she thought to herself that he might have some kind of telekinesis ability.

but in truth link just moved so fast that she couldn't even notice him leave his place.

the Middle-aged woman, seemingly slightly more at ease sat down near him and mustered whatever courage she had inside to speak again.

”I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are”

Link noticed how she was speaking in plural, meaning she had become the group's leader.
