Chapter 2: Whispers of Tragedy Part -2
They both took a battle stance, one with a sword and the other with an arrow ready to shoot at any moment.
"Grrrr".
"Grrrr..grrrr".
Low growling sounds of creatures could be heard from the forest, and the solitude of two separate creatures was gradually building within it.
They emerged from the forest's shadow after a few minutes.
On the left was a massive tiger standing on fours but still standing taller than three meters; he had razor-sharp nails and teeth; his canines had grown out of his mouth at a length of 10 inches, just like his ancestors; and he had large spikes growing out of his back that moved around like a living organism.
which was indeed a living parasite, the "deathworm".
On the right side stood a tall rhinoceros, as tall as a tiger; his body was all metallic black, and his horn on his face was razor sharp, powerful enough to destroy an entire bull. The parasites were likewise present on his body, but they entered and exited through numerous holes.
They appeared to be waiting for someone to arrive before attacking.
"How the fuck do they even communicate?"
As the young man assessed his opponent, his partner asked an out-of-the-box question.
"I don't know and don't care; concentrate here; I'll take on the tiger; you watch the rhinoceros; don't let them gang up on me".
As he approached the tiger, the young man began to issue orders.
"I've got it."
The girl replied, then walked quickly upward, climbing a nearby tree.
"Always keep in mind that if the host dies, so does the parasite."
The young man said this while glancing back at the girl, who had positioned herself so that she could see the entire battlefield. Updated from
When their gazes connected, the girl nodded, and the young guy turned his gaze to his adversary.
"Come on, you little bitch, I will kill you the same way I killed that wolf".
The young man shouted as he started to pick up the pace, covering the entire edge of the sword with a pink hue, "Parna." Upon noticing the arrival of the man, the tiger also bent down his knees and, with a swift movement, started to run towards the young man with his mouth wide open.
When the distance between them lessened considerably, he moved his sword, clashing with the outstretched palm of the tiger and meeting with the razor-sharp nails of the tiger, but due to the difference in strength, the young man was the one who took the step back.
Seeing an opportunity for an early victory, the tiger pressed harder as he moved forward, putting his mouth closer to the young man's neck, which the young guy dodged with his superb footwork, stepping back just enough to be in range for a counterattack.
He thrust his sword into the tiger's forelegs, causing a deep incision that made the creature immobilized. In a single second, the young guy drove his sword even deeper, meeting his objective, the tiger's neck.
The tiger tried to flee, sensing the impending danger, but it was too late.
'Calm the fuck down. Calm the fuck down'.
He repeated the words in his mind, trying to keep himself calm so he could think of a solution.
As the Python swallowed him whole, his desperate attempt to steady his mind dissolved into the chaos of his battle.
After a few seconds of battle, his moments slowed considerably, and the Python, sensing this, reduced his guard as it shifted its eyes to the easier prey, the girl who was beginning to regain her composure.
However, the Python's confidence proved to be its demise.
A sharp tremor interrupted its concentration, followed by a searing agony in its gut.
It writhed in agony, desperately striving to free itself from the source of its agony.
The creature's convulsions stopped a few moments later, and it died.
"stab....".
The young man panted heavily as he emerged through the Python's carcass, his physique damaged but unbowed.
"NEIL".
When the girl regained consciousness, she hurried towards him, seeing his condition. She quickly got down on her knees and began hugging him.
"Hey, NEIL, stay with me."
She anxiously tried to contact him, but he stayed silent. His body was becoming cold, but she was unable to intervene.
The young man remembered the things he treasured: the incomplete game, the person he cared about, and his mother's final wish.
Regrets mixed with thoughtfulness as the tapestry of his life unfolded in front of him.
"Nealah".
He said his voice was as low as a whisper, but the girl was able to hear it.
" NEIL, don't leave me. Please don't leave me. I promise to be a good girl. I will pay close attention to anything you say. Please don't leave me."
Her eyes went fuzzy as she anxiously attempted to think of anything that could persuade him to stay. She attempted to draw him closer so that his body could warm up.
"I'll keep an eye on you. I wish you a happy life."
He claimed that as he gently closed his eyes, his barely beating heart stopped, indicating he was no longer alive.
The small girl continued to clutch his chilly body, unsure what to do in her condition of shock. She was unable to cry until
"Nealah".
Someone approached her from behind and called her name.
