Whoooo. When their swords clashed, a gust of sand rose. As the sound of grains scraping against metal echoed, Draik leaped into the air. Clang! Instead of charging straight ahead as Zed expected, Draik landed on the shafts of the spears stuck all around. He moved across them as if performing acrobatics, and then used the recoil of a bending spear to launch himself toward Zed. The crash of steel meeting steel split the dry air. Sand scattered in every direction from the impact between the…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
- ‘What should I do… I can’t use my strength properly…’ Harto tried to create a sand barrier to help Zed, but before it could even take form, the wind scattered it or the sand collapsed. His chest tightened more and more. It seemed that he had already reached his limit from the battle the night before. Whoosh! At that moment, Draik swung his long tail through the air again. “…Ugh!” “Zed!” Zed barely avoided the strike, but one of his knees was torn open and blood…

- “Zed can make elixirs. How do you make them?” At the innocent question, Zed smiled softly. “Well. I just… decide to do it?” “You just decide to do it?” “Yes, I’ve been like that since I was born.” “Since you were born? Wow, that’s amazing! Zed, you’re really amazing. You know so much, you fight well, you make elixirs, and when you put your hand on someone’s head, you can even see what you want to see…” He stopped. While Harto was murmuring to himself…

- Harto was startled by Allen’s words and quickly shook his head. “N-no. Something just got in my eye.” “Hmm? Maybe, but it’s not your eye. You’ve got something on your face.” There was a black smudge near his cheek, probably from touching his face with the hand that was holding the potato. “Really? Where?” Harto gasped and moved to rub his cheek with the back of his hand, but Allen looked unconcerned. “Well, you can wash it off easily with your ability.” “Now…

- Gulp. Unlike what he had feared, Harto was relieved when he heard the sound of the medicine sliding down Zed’s throat. But just in case, he kept his lips against Zed’s and held his neck tightly. “Harto…” A low voice brushed his ear, calling his name. Harto immediately pulled his lips away and looked at Zed’s face. “Zed…? Are, you… ha, ha… are you alright? Ha, ha…” Maybe he had focused too much on the kiss. Harto spoke between rough breaths. In contrast, Zed looked…

- Harto changed into human form to check if his companions were safe. Allen and Leon were still lying inside the sand cocoons, but fortunately, both of them were breathing properly. Swish. Zed seemed to have regained his senses and tore open the cracked sand cocoon himself to come out. “Zed…!” Harto ran toward him. He checked all over to see if Zed was hurt, then let out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness… I thought it was going to be serious.” When Harto lifted his head and…

- The red petals fluttered, and thick leaves dripped with sticky liquid. In the center of the flower, yellow stamens twitched like the antennae of an insect. Its form was grotesque, but what was more horrifying were the teeth visible between the stamens. Sharp fangs, fit for a shark, were lined up in rows. When he saw it, Harto did not feel fear at first, but his mind went blank at the unreal shape of the monstrous flower. Flap, flap. The monstrous flower flapped its petals like wings to catch his…

- Leon’s sudden, ridiculous shout startled him for a moment, but he quickly realized why. It was because of the fragrant oil he had rubbed all over his body the night before. The golden powder mixed into the oil made his black slime body shine like the stars in the night sky. “It’s an oasis! Look! I told you there was one!” Meanwhile, Allen started jumping up and down when he saw the water rising on the ground. With a bright, childlike smile, he lay flat on the floor and began waving his arms…

- “As expected, Harto isn’t a monster, he’s an angel!” Allen, delighted after gulping down the water, reached out to hug Harto. Zed grabbed the back of his neck in an instant and threw him aside. It was as if he were throwing away a piece of trash. “W-what’s that for, Zed…!” Allen fell flat on the sand and shouted in protest, but Zed only said shortly, “It’s hot,” and lifted his own water pouch to pour him a share. Only then did Allen’s angry expression soften. “Don’t…

- They hadn’t rested enough, but before the sun completely set, the group started walking south. Harto’s body felt heavy and weak, but he kept his human form and walked silently across the desert. The temperature gradually lowered, and the red sunset spread wide across the sky. Warm wind brushed softly over the sand dunes, and the surface rippled like waves. The sight was so beautiful that Harto wished he had a camera to capture it in a picture. This world had so many beautiful places. The mountain…
