In the afternoon, Erga and Yuga walked in the forest without carrying anything, heading to Eirin Kokutsa's place.
"Sorry if I'm being presumptuous, why do you want to meet Eirin Kokutsa?"
"I want to hug her."
"Huh? Is she your girlfriend?"
"Haha... I don't need to explain, you will know it yourself. Walk and don't talk too much!"
"Um... OK."
Suddenly, Yuga told Erga to stop walking.
“Stop and hide behind me, now!”
"Oh... Okay, but what is this?" Erga said as he hurried to hide behind Yuga.
Yuga swung both hands forward to cast a 'Seyga Technique: Light Barrier'.
An attack of light arrows at high speed attacked Yuga. Yuga can withstand the attack with seyga techniques. However, the light arrow gradually penetrated Yuga's light barrier.
As Yuga continues to block the attacks, his seyga technique is destroyed and light arrows hit both of Yuga's hands.
"Yuga...!" Erga screamed as he watched both of Yuga's hands disintegrate in the blink of an eye.
The light arrow did not stick like a normal arrow. The light arrow exploded when something touched it.
“Erga, stay alive!” Yuga said his last words, then fell down covered in blood.
"No... Why is this era more cruel!?" Erga shouted while shedding tears.
Because of that incident, Erga was desperate because he didn't have the eltera power to fight someone.
"Why? Why do these sadistic deaths always happen in front of me? Is this my punishment!?" Erga fell while screaming and crying hysterically.
Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard behind Erga and asked, "Who are you and what is your purpose here?"
Erga didn't want to turn around to see who was talking behind him.
"I'm just a kid who came from another world. I never want to fight with anyone. If you want to kill me, just kill me!"
The atmosphere became silent.
Feeling something strange, Erga opened his eyes and looked behind him. It turns out there was no one there.
"Who? is she a ghost?" Erga said while wiping his tears. Erga stood up then looked back at Yuga who was already lifeless.
"You are indeed a great figure. I am just trash, but you are willing to risk your life for me. I will bury you like a warrior."
Erga walked towards a small tree and broke its branch. He immediately tried to dig the ground using his hands and tree branches.
A few moments later.
It was midnight, Erga finished burying Yuga.
"I don't know your true face yet. But, I don't dare take off that mask. Whoever you are, I really respect you as a hero."
When Erga finished speaking, he fell and collapsed on Yuga's grave due to exhaustion.
The next day, Erga woke up next to Yuga's grave and continued to stare at the grave.
"Rest in peace. I will continue your wish to meet Eirin Kokutsa. Goodbye."
Erga walked away from Yuga's grave and continued his journey looking for Eirin Kokutsa.
During his journey, Erga was able to survive by eating raw meat from his hunt. If he does not find prey, he can eat leaves and grass. All that was on his mind was survival.
Apparently, the journey did not go smoothly. Grera Nin appeared in front of Erga.
Grera takes the form of a snake with a wolf's head and has two arms with long claws. Grera also has a big and tall body.
"Grera Nin, Yuga once spoke about beings like you. I will destroy you!" Erga said angrily while looking at Grera.
Grera attacks with its claws. But with the intention to kill, Erga managed to dodge it.
"Come on, damn creature!"
Erga ran towards Grera with clenched fists. When he was about to hit, Grera turned its body around and quickly threw Erga away using its tail. Unexpectedly, Grera's tail turned out to be very hard.
Erga flew far away and hit a large rock. Blood came out of his mouth.
As he felt the pain from the attack, Erga shouted, "Damn it! I've already tasted death, there's no reason to fear another death!"
Erga got up again and ran again to fight. Erga didn't care about the pain, he just wanted to fight against Grera.
As Erga ran, Grera roared like a wolf and launched an attack. This attack releases a large wind from its body, then attacks Erga who is running.
Erga really took a heavy hit from Grera's attack. Erga bounced and hit a large rock again very hard. As a result, Erga fell with many wounds on his body and continued to bleed from his mouth.
Grera wanted to end the fight immediately by using strongest attack. Grera opened its mouth, releasing aura from its mouth and directing it towards its two claws.
Erga is still conscious. However, he couldn't do anything because of the attack. His eyes started to blur and he lost consciousness.
When Grera was about to attack Erga, suddenly a spinning ax appeared from behind Grera. Grera's head was chopped off by an ax covered in black aura.
A few moments later.
Erga woke up from his stupor. His body was covered in many wounds. He looked around and thought about what happened to him. Then, Erga found an ax in front of him.
Erga can remember the bad incident that happened to him. Previously he lost when fighting with Grera Nin.
Erga tried to get up and take the axe.
"Is this ax the one that killed Grera Nin? Then, who owns it?" Erga said confused.
Suddenly.
A man (22 years old) quickly approached Erga and took an axe.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Erga asked.
The man smiled and said, “This is my axe. Weak humans like you will only die in vain.”
Sensing a threat, Erga pointed his hand at the man and asked, "What do you want? Do you want to fight with me?"
The man laughed out loud after hearing Erga's question. "Are you kidding me? You're just an ordinary human. I'll just watch your attack, hit me if you can, sucker!" Said the man while laughing.
Without saying a word, Erga ran towards the man and hit him hard in the face.
After receiving the attack, the man was thrown far away. Shocked by the impact he received, he felt pain like he had never felt before. His eltera was draining quickly. Even that attack was much stronger than Grera Nin.
The man was still able to stand, because he felt there was a big risk, he ran away from the place.
"I don't need to chase someone like that. I have to immediately meet Eirin Kokutsa. Now where should I go? Looks like I'm lost." Erga said confused.
The forest was very quiet, he decided to go towards the man. He felt like the ax man knew where Eirin Kokutsa was.
