Chapter 23 - Part 24: A Fight to the Death

....From Alex Arshid's Perspective....

Huff

What was I really left to do?

I had no books to read, no letters of recommendation (mentioned in Part 1), and no other activities, and Karen was completely unknown these days.

After the incident of the wild wolf attack, I realized that the wolf's power had come from my eyes, and Karen was planning to make clothes for me from her skin and teeth.

I was very upset, but I had to because I had to become a wild person, just like Karen wanted.

That wild doctor was also one of Karen's old friends, trusted by Karen and had played a key role In saving me.

During these two weeks, I was still in a state of survival until my wounds and stitches healed and then I could start training again.

And this had driven me crazy. I couldn't do anything, not even a simple walk like the time in Nikolai's village.

I was counting down the minutes so that the training could start as soon as possible. He had gone crazy. Who would like to do training that would kill him?

But first, I had an activity and I could spend the day, and the important reason was that...

I was distracted by thoughts of Nikolai's village, what had happened to the people, Sara, Ara's mother, and most importantly, my father. What had happened to my father?

That damned night kept appearing before my eyes, causing me to suffer, seeing my loved ones and innocent people suffer because of our family!

I was beginning to believe that our family was cursed and cursed, and that I had to sacrifice myself to pay for my sins and those of my ancestors, and that the world would be free from the Arshid family forever!

But my father was right, if we didn't exist, someone worse than us would have come who had no mercy on anyone, and I just wanted to find out?

I knew who was behind the Nikolai incident, the church, but who and with what backing and importance were they? I would have to prove all this in the future, and my father was completely innocent in that incident, not only in that, but also in the story of the great ancestor, Arshid.

A feeling told me that the great ancestor, Arshid, had been distorted and another story, so that is the incident that I have to prove to all the people, not only me and my father, but also the great ancestor, is innocent, and all these years we were wrongly judged, insulted, humiliated, cursed.

These made me endure these hard exercises, proving my innocence and my father's, and taking revenge on all the people of the village of Nikolai and the capital.

I was in my mood when suddenly it suddenly opened and Karen entered, and something reached out to me.

Karen: Finally, Alex, after your first fight with a wolf, you have to dress like a real savage, and this Is your outfit.

And I looked at the outfit made of wolf skin, along with its teeth.

For the war, or rather, Nora fought more,// and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive, and why should I wear this?

... Don't get me wrong Alex, you fought him first and he did it with his bare hands. This proves that you just have to learn the lessons of a savage. With your courage and intelligence, no one can compete with you.

And second, when a savage has his first fight with an animal, he wears the skin of that animal to prove his victory.

Put it on now.

.. First, you are wrong and I fought not out of courage, but out of necessity and the instinct of survival. And second, I will not wear this, even if you kill yourself.

... My dear, I will never make a mistake. You have the ability to become a brave and intelligent savage. And second, put this on now, because I did not force you.

.. I will not wear it!

... Put it on!

.. No!

... Yes!

.. Absolutely not!

... Of course!

.. Absolutely not!

... This will happen!

And it all started with me getting dressed

To the point where he started forcing me to get dressed and of course I resisted

When the door slammed shut!

Karen and I looked at each other in surprise, who was it? And why was he here? And what had happened that he was banging on the door so hard?

When Karen went and opened the door,

Another savage was there who didn't even let Karen speak and said with fear and worry.

A worried savage: Karen, a very important matter has arrived from the human country. News has come that very important people have come and are planning to go to the capital, but Marjo, the Moss soldier, is planning to rob and kill them, which will cause a war between us and the humans and innocent people will be killed.

To Karen's surprise, she didn't ask any questions, she just asked where those humans were coming from.

Now I was riding Nora and Karen was riding her horse, heading towards the main road.

As we got closer, we saw a broken-down carriage. A group of humans were fighting some savages. Of course, they were on the verge of defeat and most of them were dead.

... Alex, I have to do something. I want to warm up those savages. You have to go very secretly and save that important human inside the carriage. Do you understand?

.. But what about you?

... I'm not that important, that person is important, if something happens to him, it will cause a war and innocent people will be killed and you will live because my most important intention is to protect you until the last moment.

And he got off his horse and started attacking and killed two savages with one blow and went towards the other savages.

... From Leah Hyera's perspective....

I was going to the capital of the savages with my servant, Martha, on an important mission!

After my father agreed, we were supposed to convince the savages not to attack us and even to help us in the upcoming battle, which seemed impossible to me.

But since Mr. Gersh said it was definitely possible, I convinced them to help anyway.

I looked at Martha who kept looking around and was worried.

.. What's the worry?

... Do you think I shouldn't worry? Where are we now?

.. The land of the savages!

... Well, as the name suggests, the land of the savages means a land where there is no mercy and only killing and killing is important to them, like the Arshid family.

And I'm worried every moment that they will attack us.

... I'm not too worried about them attacking us because no one knows our identity and they won't attack us and we have the best soldiers to protect us.

Well, you're right, don't worry, you have magic, if they come, you will deceive them with your magic.

I was answering him that...

There was a scream and a shout and then a hard blow to the carriage that caused it to overturn.

I looked carefully and from the corner where the curtain had been pulled aside and the savages had attacked!

And Martha also fainted from the force of the blow.

The guards were no match for them and they were easily killed and few In number.

I had prepared myself for death and was sending my regards to my mother.

I prepared the poison I had hidden in my ring to eat. Death was better than being captured by the attacking savages.

I was taking the poison when I heard another scream.

And the carriage door opened with a loud bang.

... From Alex Arshid's perspective...

I was near the scene of the battle, lying down, waiting for the right opportunity to go to the carriage and save the man's life.

I was saying, "man, I thought I was going wild!"

I looked at Karen, who was destroying her enemies with her professional blows.

No one was her match, everyone was finished.

Could I one day be like Karen, someone everyone counted on, trusted, and feared?

But that didn't matter, the carriage was what mattered.

Karen had very skillfully moved the scene of the battle a few meters ahead of the carriage, and using what I had learned from hunting, which was to go very stealthily to the overturned carriage and with difficulty open the carriage door.

Inside the carriage were a girl and a woman. A very beautiful girl who had a special beauty, skin as white as snow, eyes as clear as ice, pride like an eagle in her gaze, and hair as white as the clouds in the sky, and incredibly beautiful.

I was lost in her beauty, but these things didn't matter.

I stretched out my hand towards her.

.. Hurry, we have to go.

She did nothing and just looked.

.. I say hurry, we have to go. Now the savages are attacking us and we're done!

Why should I trust you?

.. (shouting) Because you have to, because you have no other choice, because if I wanted to, Alan, you would be killed easily, and a thousand other reasons. Hurry, we have to go, or I'll leave you here and you'll still be this savage thirsty for human blood.

After thinking for a while, he agreed to go.

... But on one condition, that you save my servant!

.. What? Huh?

And so I had to knock that damn servant down and go to Nora.

What had made it so heavy, even heavier than those big rocks?

I barely put the woman and the girl on Nora and was leaving...

Alex!!!!

...from Marjo's point of view...

Everything was going well, my plan, which meant that we would also have that girl, the girl I had seen with Gersh.

That was why she had occupied my mind and made me lust!

And on the other hand, she was obviously someone important and we could get a good ransom for her once we caught her.

And on the other hand, this game was very profitable for us.

But with the arrival of damned Karen, everything went wrong.

From the very beginning, because of her forbidden love for a weak person, I doubted that she was a real savage.

Her ridiculous beliefs, like not killing innocent and weak people, made no sense, should you kill everyone or be killed?

And now, when I had achieved significant successes after breaking up with Moss, she was standing in my way.

But we must not forget one thing: she was very strong.

And none of the soldiers, not even me, could talk to him, that was clear. There was another nobleman.

There was only one way to stab him in the back!

I approached him very slowly. He was finishing off my last soldier and was effectively winning. All he had to do was kill that soldier so he would notice me and finish me off.

I raised my sword and that was it...

Karen fell to the ground but she was still alive and I had to finish her off now.

When I saw a human boy walking towards a Nora with my trump card!

I could feel Karen saying something and as I got closer I realized he was saying Alex, run.

So the human boy was Karen's familiar.

The only way to stop him was to provoke his human emotions.

I lifted Karen up and put my sword at her throat.

Alex!!!!

.... From Alex Arshid's perspective ....

I was taking Nora to go with that unconscious girl and woman when .....

Alex!!!

I turned around and saw in disbelief that two other savages had survived and Karen had also been captured by one of them when...

He, he, that cursed one, that cursed one, the same one who was there on the night of the attack on Nikolai's village, the one who caused Ara's death, the one who caused the hatred of all the people of Nikolai's village, the one who caused my torment.

Now that savage had Karen captive in his hands. Once again, a loved one, another of my friends, was being killed before my eyes, most importantly, by that savage.

Wilde: Listen Alex, I'm giving you a chance to escape with Karen and stay alive. Either you force that girl on me or I'll kill Karen and then I'll come for you and then I'll kill you.

And he pressed the sword harder against Karen's throat.

Karen: You're lying, Alex, run away. Don't let my damn curse take you again. Don't kill innocent people for me.

The savage hit Karen again and… hit her again, so hard that Karen's face was covered in blood and she fell silent.

But I could still see the despair in her eyes, the feeling that I was going to go and sacrifice myself for myself.

Heh.

What a cursed creature I was, everyone who was with me, my friend, was being killed before my eyes.

Again those whispers, again the same situation, and again another person dying before my eyes because of me and my inaction.

But this time, no, either I save Karen, this damned curse will end, or I will be killed, saved from a life of misery.

I looked at the girl who was waiting for my decision, worried that I would hand her over to the savage for Karen's sake.

But no, this time, no one would be captured or killed for me. This time, I would die so that no one would leave.

I descended from the light.

For the last time, I looked at the sky and the earth, and most importantly, at Karen, who was looking at me In surprise.

I turned and said goodbye to the girl.

I drew my sword and charged with a loud cry.

This time I would fight to the death, to the point of sacrificing my life.

The wild one that was free also attacked me, but this time, instead of being afraid or attacking out of mere survival instinct, I attacked for others, for myself.

I attacked with my true feelings.

The wild one came quickly, and so did I.

I raised my sword and made my attack, ignoring Karen's screams.

.....

I fell to the ground and looked at the savage who was lying behind me.

I felt a sharp burning sensation in my body. I looked and saw that the savage's sword was stuck in my stomach and I was bleeding profusely.

I looked at the savage who was looking at me with impunity and asked him how I had killed the savage.

At Karen, whose tears had completely soaked her face.

Heh, so this cruel woman can cry too.

But my work was not over yet. My battle was not over yet. Karen was still captive of the savage.

Using the savage's astonishment, I pulled out one of the wolf's teeth that was on my clothes and threw it at the savage with all my strength and power.

It hit him In the eyes.

And I fell unconscious on the ground and all I heard was a scream and then nothing.

To be continued...
