A certain noise woke me up from my sleep,it was already morning ,perhaps i was still hangover by my injuries ,the same noise rang again behind the door ,wondering what it is i get up,my body is surprisingly light ,amaze by it i began to stretch ,then i noticed-
"eh where's my arm"
i rush to the door and opened it asking-
"Mr Goro have have you done to my arm"
The room was warm due to the burning furnice and mr Goro was there hammering and working on a particular item,he calmly replied-
"i smelt it"
I feel betrayed and confuse,it was the only thing i have ,the only chance ....the only thing left behind by by her,i head towards Mr Goro demanding an explaination-
"I though your gonna help me ,not rob me"
He replied calmy-
"Calm down kid"
And dipped the item he worked with in water ,what came out was a purple crystal about half the size of my arm.
"this is what i manage to dismental from your arm"
I looked in confusion ,as he put his equipment and sat down besides me on a table .
"You dont stand a chance against him"
He said with a serious face.I clench my fist and reply-
"I know but ill do it anyway"
He gave out a huge breath and put the magic crystal he recover from my arm in the table .
"Even if i build you a new arm ,i could tell by the look of it it wont be enough,also i dont think i can make it for you ,you wont have anything to power it "
Those hopeless words strike deep down my heart ,what am i suppose to do ,im basically a disabled person going up agains someone with magic.My heart ache due to my hopeless situation even Mr Goro could not bare to look me in my eyes .
"But-"
He said with a calm yet serious voice.
Those words were enough ,it was enough to give me hope.
"if only i have those items"
Mr Goro said with a fustraing voice.To me ,those word told me there was still a chance ,i ask quickly.
"What items,i am willing to do anything "
"crystalized magic stone"
"crystalized magic stone?"
"every living thing have magic in them and when they die ,those magic in their body have nowhere left to go so they crystalised into stone ,but the problem about them is that due to the magic being pure ,when its around another magic source ,its disrupt the flow of magic ,if that happen to a person or an animal ,they suffer great pain enough to make the mind go crazy and eventuall die ....thats how our king,Taikun Yoku The Second also known as The Sin Of Greed die at the trap made by traitors,eventually he was susceed by his son Shinsei Yuko The third"
Shocked by his words i thought to myself its even enough to kill one of the sins,how are we gonna get our hands on tha- A sudden words which use to give me rage came in my mind-
",from here on all your connection to magic will be cut off-"
"if i can get if for you,will you make a new arm?"
I ask smiling,he look at me with sencere eyes-
"didnt you hear what i just said? Its impossible for anybody to-"
I cut him off and told him about my story,his face was full of disbelief during that time.
"if what you said is true ,you might be able to pull it off "
He said with a calm calculative face but another noise got his attention,the same little girl from before run towards him with a bright smile -
"Dad ,i've bough the firewood you told me to collect"
He pat on her head with a bright smile and replied-
"Thats my girl "
She smiled happily while putting the wood she collected and ran back out .
"Is that your daughter ? Whats her name?
"Yuki"
"The same name as the human hero ?"
"The hero yuki saved me and my wife years ago so we decided to name her after the hero"
As he mention his wife i realize that i have not seen her-
"where is your wife ,is she out with her?
His face saddened and by the look of it realize i ask a question not to be asked .
"Im sorry"
"its fine ,lets just focus on your arm for now,we are gonna need materials ,we'll head to the town nearby ,you will need a mask ,they dont welcome human there"
We agreed on a plan and went to the town after breakfast,on our way to the town ,we encounter rabbits, squirrel and many more,bird chirping it was peacefull.....too peacefull .
"Is it ok to leave Yuki all alone ,wont she be in danger if any animals were to attack?"
Worried i ask.
"There is no wild animals or hostile demons around "
"Huh?"
"The duke took care of all of them"
I continue to walk quitely deep in though.A few more minutes later we entered the town ,everything surprises me-
"i never though i'd see them in real life"
bunny girls,half demon and even beastman were everywhere ,They were living peacefully as humans ,shops and everything ,Mr Goro and i went to different shops buying whatwe need and head back home ,on our way home i curiously said-
"The town was so peacefull,how are different species living together so peacefully?"
"Thats not how it used to be,every species have their very own village and land but was slaughtered by the fallen send by the rulers,everyday was hell for them not knowing when will they strike again"
"But it all changed when a new duke was assigned in this area"
"Dont tell me he's-"
"The man who was assigned was Valois Kaito "
"Why is a duke outside the kingdom and assigned to a mere village?"
"That i do not know,but when he arrive he exterminate all the fallen and beast and manage to pin-point the location where the fallen will be summoned"
I recalled our fight and his previous fight ,he does not seem kindhearted at all,infact he was enjoying it.
"all of this is hinting that he is a good guy but something is off"
He stops and look back to me-
"dont be fooled, he may kill those fallen and beast but its not out of justice or good will,he feeds on their blood ,he's a high tier vampire with a wicked way of thinking ,thats why i moved out of town and to the hills"
Vampire...that explains the colour of his eyes and hair and that blood weapons, Alice is stuck with that guy?I gotta move fast.
The two of us quickly went home and prepare for the upcoming day,Mr Goro atleast need a suit to company me so we began to work with it.
I spot Yuki just minding her on business with a wooden figure and thought to myself isn't that too manly?And recalled that she called me "Golem guy" before.
"Mr Goro,do you know why Yuki called me Golem guy?"
He smirk a bit and say-
"I used to make golem for the kingdom and Yuki was always fascinated by it ,hmmm maybe its becuse of your arm,its quite rare too see something like that afterall"
His face saddened a bit-
"About tomorrow, are you sure about doing it
"
He change the subject ,i thought to myself.
"Yeah im prepared ,I got no other choice anyway"
I laugh a bit and focus back on our work.The night flew by without much happening,the next day we finally decide to head out to the cave Mr Goro mention which is full of crystalised magic stone,we leave Yuki with her friends in the town and continue to the cave,as expected we did not encounter any problem on our way and eventually arrive there.The cave was in a huge mountain,Mr Goro told me that at the very top of the mountaim is a giant hole which connect to the cave ,thats where the corpses are thrown together for safty.
Even tho the crystals were deep inside the cave ,it still have little aura flowing arund the cave pathway ,thats the reason why we made the suit for him.
I hesitated a bit before entering the cave but collect all my courage and walk in,our theory was correct ,the aura has no effect on me ,happy at the sucess i look back ,but it was not a sight i was hopping for ,The suit was barely working ,Mr Goro was on his knees barely able to move.
"Mr Goro!"
