Chapter 46: Megumi Akira Fujiboma
Chapter 46
Megumi blinked a few times, staring at the runes that shimmered before him. He felt too tired to even try to mentally access the strange situation; everything was happening too fast. And more than that, he felt... strangely... a bit different, a rather out-of-touch sensation.
He didn’t know what it was that was different, or if it was just him going crazy after finally taking out the demon. But more than that, he was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to lie back on the dry field of grass and close his eyes.
And that was precisely what he did...
Without giving it much thought, he dismissed the runes, already knowing what messages his system would bring him since killing the demon. Some dark essence and nothing more... It was even starting to bore him at this point.
Leaning against one of the dead trees, he opened his eyes a few minutes later, glancing around the grove; his gaze momentarily fell on his comrades, who were just as exhausted as he was and were off to the sides resting as well.
Their innate energy was slowly restoring itself, revitalizing their bodies in the process, and for him, it was considerably faster, which was why, while they were still leaning back on the field of the grove, he was already getting back on his feet.
Night was upon them, and the world was washed in the graceful glow of moonlight, countless twinkling diamonds—stars splattered across the vast expanse of the dark sky.
He heaved a sigh and walked over to Rei, who was currently getting back on his feet as well, his entire body drenched in the blood of the slain demon. There was an intense rage lingering in the boy’s eyes as he gazed at the demon’s dead body.
After a while, though, he let out a loud gasp and chuckled slightly.
