Eltera Core

(Ch. 3) Life Struggle, Part 2

(Ch. 3) Life Struggle, Part 2

Aug 18, 2024

On the way to look for the ax man, Erga felt pain all over his body. His body shook and his vision blurred. Erga continued to endure the pain.

After walking for a long time, the ax man appeared in front of Erga.

"Who are you? Why do you have great power without eltera?” The man asked.

"I am Erga Nagara. You don't need to know much about me. I will spare you on one condition, give me information about the person named Eirin Kokutsa!" Erga answered with a cynical look.

"Haha... I don't need your forgiveness because I can kill you easily. It's just that I'm curious about your power. Before I kill you, I'm willing to rest with you. Follow me!" Said the man while inviting Erga to go somewhere.

Erga didn't say anything and followed the ax man's steps.

***

A few moments later...

Erga arrived at a place full of large logs. There is also a house and several chairs made of wood.

Erga and the ax man sat on different wooden chairs.

"Before we fight seriously, I will introduce myself first."

His name is Terza Argandio. He had no home to return to and always isolated himself from others. The reason is, Terza has no family and has lived in the forest since childhood. He always moved from forest to forest.

Terza Argandio is Seyga Geni. Terza can use the seyga technique on his axe.

Terza is also a wood craftsman. He likes to make tools from the wood he needs. He also often sells his wood to the city through middlemen.

"Seyga Geni? You gained eltera power through a process of meditation and hard training, right?" Erga asked seriously.

“Haha… You're right… The results of training make me invincible… Be aware of your position!” Terza answered while raising his axe.

Erga is very curious about the power that Seyga Geni has. Erga didn't intend to ask him directly.

"Hey, can you explain what happened to your eltera power?"

"What do you mean?"

“Come on, a Seyga can't possibly have something like that. I didn't feel any eltera power on you, but your attack caused a huge impact as if it had eltera power. Who are you and where are you from?” Terza asked while brandishing his axe.

Erga was confused by Terza's question. He's not Seyga, but seems to have eltera powers. Since all of this was still a mystery, Erga decided to introduce himself.

"I'm Erga Nagara from another world. In my previous life, I died. I don't know what happened, but I came to this world. Regarding the power I have, I really don't understand."

"Another world? Hey, I've heard rumors of creatures from another world, you know!"

"What are the rumors like?"

Terza explained the rumors. There was a fortune teller who said that there would be creatures from another world entering this world. The creature didn't have much power. It's just that he has a very strong will. He can also be good or evil, depending on what he thinks.

These rumors began to spread to several leaders. Like the leader Beriun, Versila and even several bandit leaders. 

There are also leaders who give missions to their subordinates to find and kill these otherworldly creatures, such as leader Denvi.

Erga gaped and asked, "Me? You mean I'm being hunted? Even though I haven't committed any crime, so what?"

Terza laughed while pointing at Erga.

"Hey, why are you laughing? Was that just a lie?" Erga asked with an angry expression.

Terza said, "No, this is real! You need to know, your life is in danger. It seems like you have no one and no place to go home to. You have a lot of injuries, rest at my house!"

Terza stood up and hurried away.

"Where are you going?" Erga asked, starting to realize Terza's kindness.

"I want to find food!" He answered while leaving Erga.

Erga's heart was very touched because he still met people who were kind and cared about him. To appreciate his kindness, Erga entered Terza's house.

Once inside the house, Erga felt excruciating pain all over his body. His eyes started to flutter, and finally he fell unconscious.

At night, Erga woke up. Curious about what was happening, Erga came out.

"Are you awake? Let's eat!" Said Terza who was sitting while burning the meat he had hunted.

Erga approached Terza and asked, "I don't feel the slightest pain. Are you the one taking care of me?"

"Sit down and eat first. Don't talk too much when preparing food and while eating. Respect these living creatures, they were created for us to eat."

"Umm... OK, I'm sorry." Erga sat down and helped Terza grill the meat.

After the food was ready, Erga and Terza ate together.

Erga said in his heart, "Delicious... This food is really delicious. I didn't expect to be able to eat together with someone I just met. He is good at making food. Thankfully, there are still many good people."

After finishing eating, Terza and Erga continued their conversation.

"Terza, what happened to me?"

"That was the impact of Grera Nin's attack. If a human were without eltera power, he would die. Now, I know why you are still alive."

"Why?"

Terza explained several things.

Terza is knowledgeable about injuries and illnesses. Terza has no family and was raised by a healer. Thanks to the healer, Terza learned about wounds, illnesses and how to deal with them.

When Terza finished hunting, he saw Erga unconscious. Erga's body experienced a high fever. To be sure, Terza opened Erga's clothes to check his condition. When Erga's clothes were opened, there was a large black mark on his back. Because Terza knew the mark, Terza put his clothes back on and let his recover on his own.

The mark on Erga's back is the mark of artiga. Terza made a wild assumption that when Erga's body was disturbed, Erga's artiga could restore it automatically.

Artiga is an heirloom left by our ancestors. It is said that before the ancestors died, they gave a quarter of their eltera power to an object called artiga. Artiga managed to hide it somewhere and seal it.

Now, artiga is considered an heirloom. Artiga has different shapes and powers.

"Artiga? Yuga gave me the artiga ring when I was at Vajava Hill. He said it could read something I didn't understand." Erga said while looking at his hands.

When he saw his hand, Erga fell silent and immediately remembered the time he wore the ring. At that time, there was a mark on his hand. The mark disappeared and moved to his back.

"Haha... That's it! You're very lucky... That artiga ring you're wearing is one of many artiga. I'm assuming wildly, you're using a regeneration type artiga. That's why you're still alive from Grera Nin's attack!" Said Terza who was so excited about Erga.

"Okay... Terza, thank you for all your kindness."

"It doesn't matter... My father used to say... Yes, even though he is not my real father. He gave me the task of finding and guarding one of the artiga users."

"Really? What's the purpose?"

"I don't know... But he has cared for and raised me. To appreciate his kindness, I have to grant his wish. Now, what is your goal?"

"Is that so? Um... Maybe my goal now is to find Eirin Kokutsa's residence in the Merya region."

"Eirin? Merya? Are you kidding me?" Terza asked seriously.

"No, I really want to meet her. Who is Eirin Kokutsa?"

Terza was silent and sweaty.

"What's wrong with you, Terza?"

"Okay, if that's what you want. We'll leave tomorrow. Now get some rest."

Terza went into the house to rest. Erga was confused by Terza's attitude. Like it or not, Erga had to rest so he could leave tomorrow.
