45 Come out! (1/2)
”I got more visitors...”
Su Min stood up as he thought for a second. He couldn't die, so he didn't want to fight for no reason...
'Maybe I can avoid them?'
As he pondered, Su Min had already pushed open the hut's door as he stared out to take a closer look outside. Nobody was visible, but he had the clear feeling that somebody was closing in on him. It was a strange sensation, like an instinct.
However, Su Min decided to wait for a while and see whether he could sense that feeling more. Or as such, procure the strength of whoever was coming to, well,kill him.
”Hm?”
In no time at all his gold eye shook as a faint ripple emerged from the horizon, wafting a faint aura of blue. He could only catch a wisp of it, but this told him enough.
He felt their strength, their strength which although faint, was enough for him to know that dealing with whoever was coming would be troublesome. He could win, but to do so he may have to expend some strength, and he cannot do that.
'I need to stay at my peak until I find about who the top power is in this place. Dying isn't an option.'
Deciding on this, Su Min fled with a firm heart. His pace was that of a blur as he rushed out of the hut, nevertheless, he didn't emit any shockwaves nor any sounds. He was silent, but this required a scrutinous mind to repel any shockwave that came with golden strands.
Even with him trying his best, he couldn't stop a faint wind from emerging.
*woosh*
”W-what was that?”
A villager who was patting a trembling girl shook as he saw a sudden blur whistle out of the dilapidated hut that was now a forbidden zone from the corner of his sight. He rubbed his eyes but found nothing that would hint to anyone moving.
”Maybe that fiend left?”
He trembled as a thought emerged from his head, but he didn't have the courage to check whether such a being had left...
”Maybe...”
...
...
”Gheheh! It has been so long since I got fresh air!”
A single man draped in black giggled as he zoomed through the atmosphere like a blitzing bullet. The mountains on the ground and the clouds in the sky seemed like trivial things in his eyes as they passed by him at an everpresent blur.
However, he didn't make a sound nor did he induce a faint echo. He was silent, so silent that it was as if he was the wind himself.
”Hrmmm, Village 1023 right?”
The man's eyes glimmered with a bright blue as he scratched his frazzled blue hair that fluttered to his waist; though his forehead was covered by the robe. A strange air permeated him, and it made odd crystalline icicles form and flutter past him.
They dazzled the eye as they refracted the light, but within this light was a chilling coldness that spewed onto the air and froze it within seconds.
Thus, this man, with his chilling blue hair and eyes, left a trail of frozen ice in the air as if he were ice himself. Was he the wind, or ice? No clue.
”Found ya!”
He let out a wide grin that revealed his razor-sharp teeth as he saw a simple villager not too far away. Though, 'far' for him was vastly different compared to 'far' for a mortal.
Seconds passed, and with a sparkle of ice, the man tiptoed onto a patch of dirt as he stared at an absent sign a hundred meters away from him. He appeared like a ghost, and nobody saw such a ghost.
He breathed a deep whiff as the icy aura that surrounded him hid, making him seem ordinary. He looked around and saw the massive crater not too far away, and also the thunder that sizzled around it.
”Interesting...”
