"Pleasehgg... pleasegg..."
Shin looked at Khun who had positioned himself to sleep.
"Did you hear it?" ask Shin.
"of course. He screamed like a dog's howl."
With an annoyed face Khun came down from the tree, followed by Shin. They looked for the direction of the screaming voice.
Shin led the way because Khun looked very lazy to do so.
Khun still looks upset. Maybe because his sleep had to be disturbed.
As Shin was about to pass through the bush, Khun spread his arms in front of Shin. Make him stop and observe around
"Submit and take a peek at what lies ahead. "
Shin according. He peeked out from behind the bush as Khun commanded.
Shin thought for a moment, how could he be so obedient and listen to all the words of Khun.
But it is undeniable that Khun has the charisma of a leader. He seemed destined to be very brave, smart and swift.
"You seen him?"
Khun's question managed to make Shin aware of his daydream. It's true he had to save someone first.
Shin tried to focus on the thing behind the bush. He saw someone trapped in a net above a tree and several undead waiting beneath.
This was the first time Shin had seen an undead form and what he was currently seeing was not a small amount. They don't look aggressive. But Shin wasn't so sure.
Shin thought about how to help that person. While he did not know the information to fight the undead. Do they have any weaknesses in order to be easily subverted?
"Hit his neck."
Shin looked at Khun who was also crouching next to him.
"Hit his neck with a sword so that they fall down and don't rise again" Khun explained.
"But where did I get the sword?"
Khun took out a sword from the pocket of his sleeve. Khun handed Shin a white sword with a dragon engraving on the scabbard.
"You have it now. Wait for my cue and we'll attack the undead together."
Shin nodded in agreement. He pulled the sword from its sheath. It sounded loud enough to make the undead run towards them.
"Now!"
The two of them leaped out of the bush and moved in attack before being surrounded by the undead who were running towards them.
Shin tried to keep up with Khun's movements. Who would have thought that he still had the power to master a soul sword. Shin felt a little happy about it.
After all these undead were uprooted. Khun threw his sword towards the net that was on top of the tree.
"Aaaaaakh.. duh... can't you help me in a softer way?" upset a young man who was screaming for help earlier.
"Shut your mouth if you don't want to invite the other undead here" Khun replied.
The young man snorted angrily and then ran to Shin with a smile, "thank you for helping me."
Shin looked at her confusedly. If seen and remembered again Khun actually helped this young man. Khun did more than Shin did.
The young man ran to retrieve his sword which had fallen under the tree while trapped by the net.
He turned back towards Shin. Swung in Shin's arms while smiling cheerfully.
"My name is Zayin."
Shin looked at Khun, seeing how Khun reacted about this young man. But Khun seemed indifferent and unconcerned.
"You can call me Shen, and you can call him Khun" Shin replied introducing himself.
Zayin's smile briefly disappeared, glancing at Khun for a while then smiling back at Shin.
"Well, I'll behead big brother with Kak Shen's call."
It sounded a little strange in Shin's ear as he had to be called big brother by someone who was already an adult.
Maybe because he was not used to the call. Shin again glanced at Khun who had just been silent and seemed to dislike the existence of Zayin. Shin guessed that maybe Khun didn't really like spoiled children.
"Can, right?" asked Zayin to make sure because Shin did not answer his question.
"Hmmm. Yeah please, I don't mind."
Zayin cheered happily hearing that. Khun walked away from where they were, followed by Shin.
Shin was a little confused as Zayin continued to walk after him. Shin glanced at Khun who did not seem to mind this. So he didn't bother about it either.
"Sister Shen is also a swordsman? hunting the undead?" ask Zayin enthusiastically.
"We would have gone to sleep if we had not heard the cry of a stupid pig caught in the net, "after a long silence Khun finally opened his voice.
Zayin crossed his arms in annoyance. Of course he knew who the pig was meant by Khun.
"Sister, he sneered at me, "sayin's fight to Shin.
"Sister she scoffs at me. "repeat Khun in a mocking tone makes Zayin more hardened towards Shin asking for a defense.
Shin could only smile at the behavior of the two men in front of him who were like children.
"Why don't you go? why follow us?" ask Khun annoyed.
"Keeping yourself alone is not becus. They may want to take care of others. You little boy."
"You're dueling? Let me show you my style."
"Don't dream. It's 100 years too soon for you to beat me. "
"You're a swordsman too?" ask Shin to Zayin.
Zayin nodded his head, "yes, and I'll go with brother to travel, is it okay?"
"I promise it won't be a problem. I'm quite good at the undead." added Zayin.
"It doesn't matter if you want to come."
Khun looked at Shin in disbelief. He allowed this noisy boy to come along. He could break his head hearing the boy's babble every day.
"You sure you're not just being a prankster?" khun asked scornfully at Zayin again.
"You still underestimated me? Let's fight then!"
"Have stopped arguing and rested immediately."
Shin immediately broke them before they actually fought.
Zayin according. He looked at the big tree in front of him. Up there are already two ropes tied in each branch.
They're gonna sleep on a rope? He couldn't believe Khun had let Shin sleep like that.
"Khun, can you lend the rope to Zayin too?"
Khun threw a rope at Zayin. Zayin interrupted his protest against Khun because Shin first stopped him from arguing.
With a heavy heart he tied the rope next to the branch where Shin was.
"Have you been a swordsman for a long time?" zayin asked while lying on the rope.
She felt uncomfortable but seeing Shin lying down without complaining made her not want to complain either.
"No. I'm not a swordsman, actually. I don't even know much about the undead."
"Sister don't know? Then why is sister with him? " Zayin pointed towards Khun who was opposite them.
"Have you known each other before?" shin asked Zayin and Khun.
The one pointed out only turned to position his sleep.
Don't they seem familiar to each other. Not to mention they were talking casually to each other.
"No! "
"Don't joke!"
Deny both at the same time. Shin only smiled looking at the two of them who looked so close.
"Did he force you to follow him?"
"No, Khun never forced me."
"I am not a warrior. But I have a goal to return the eight demons to where they should be."
Zayin shifted his gaze, glanced at Khun for a bit then whispered towards Shin. "Are you sure?"
"Can't you believe I can do it?"
"It's not so."
"No problem, I'm not even sure I can do it. But I have to try to do it."
Shin looked at Zayin who looked worried about him. He felt guilty that the young man should be worried about him.
Shin smiled towards Zayin, saying that everything would be fine then told her to get some rest.
...ooo...
Zayin was awakened by a moaning sound held back from behind a bush.
He stared worriedly at where Shin was. Thankful Shin was still sleeping peacefully. He then glanced at Khun's place and sure enough the man was no longer on the tree.
Zayin decided to go downstairs and check out what Khun was doing behind this midnight bush.
He peeked out from behind the bush and was a little surprised to see Khun finish off some of the undead with his bare hands. It turned out that the moans came from the sounds of the undead suffocating in Khun's hands.
Zayin could not believe what was happening before his eyes. How could Khun defeat the undead so easily and peacefully without letting out much noise.
"You awake? I tried as quietly as I could, " Khun said without looking at Zayin.
Zayin gasped in shock as Khun learned of his whereabouts. Already caught off guard, he came out from behind the bush and saw Khun cleaning up all the undead lying down with one hand movement.
Khun smiled happily to see Zayin was surprised by what he had just done.
"Why? Still dare to fight me?" Khun Scorn.
"Who is afraid. You're just a demon. I know you're one of the demons Shin wants to capture" Zayin explained.
"And I know you're a demon, too."
Khun smiled faintly at Zayin. Making Zayin even more fed up with this one arrogant demon.
