"( There's no mistaking it, that's a Demonic Monster. )"

"( But why didn't I see it earlier, in front of my eyes, it just appeared out of nowhere...? )"

"( Does it have some sort of camouflage? )" Ragna asks while his mechanic armor emits a beeping sound, showing Ragna that it has already been fixed.

" Gaah, gahh! " Miles screams and grunts as he is stabbed by the Demonic Monsters' blades, he is so terrified for he also witnessed the monster's face with his own eyes. The monster itself, looks at him with its very demonic grin and teeth, while also its tongue licks around, slurping as if Miles was its meal for today.

" No, no! " Miles cries, he begs while trying to use his Gift Powers to free himself from it, shooting the monster rapidly while he still struggles.

"( No, I can't end like this... )"

"( I'm a Gifted human from the Goddess Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt! )"

"( I'm also part of the 'Blue Blood Royal Families', the very first families who were given the very powers of the Highest Tiers of the gods. )"

"( I still have many things to do, many scores to settle...! )"

"( Especially with her, that Maiden who were Gifted by Athena. )"

"( Why!? Why? What went wrong!? )" Miles cries while still struggling, as he struggles he sees that Ragna has already touched the sword in front of him.

* Ragna pulls the sword. *

As he pulls it, Miles sees one of Ragna's fingers that drolls blood and remembers that blood was on his clothes earlier but he didn't think too much of it.

" It was you!!! " Miles screams while Ragna tries his best to pull the sword from the rock.

"( 'Sacrifice Lamb Blood'..., a human blood variant that attracts monsters more than the normal ones. )"

"( Since I knew there would be monsters here, I decided to put some on Miles's body so he could be targeted first. )" Ragna thinks to himself as he pulls it, he tries as best as he can which somehow makes the sword gets pulled bit-by-bit.

"{ Pull it }" a voice talks to Ragna's head, telling him to pull it even harder than before. As Ragna pulls it the sword immediately gets pulled as Ragna then waves it in the air. "

" I..., I did it? " Ragna was confused, he didn't know how to process this moment, but suddenly.

* Stab *

" Kuokkh! " Ragna sees the very thing that stabs him in the stomach and immediately looks back, recognizing that the thing that stabs him is also a Demonic Monster, the same species as the one that stabs Miles.
" Help me! " Miles screams as the Demonic Monster slowly devours him while Ragna grunts and gets disgusted seeing the Demonic Monster lick his tongue and says in its very demonic language.

"[ Are you the one that will end the Lord? ]" the monster asks as Ragna listens to it, somehow yet unknowingly managed to translate what it means.

"( How do I... )" Ragna asks but at that moment, he hears the same voice as earlier.

"{ Stab yourself with the sword, now! }" the voice tells Ragna and suddenly, he is shown a vision of an old man silhouette, stabbing himself with a sword which immediately makes him do the thing the vision shows him.

* Ragna stabs himself. *

Extra:

Very advised not to do the stabbing thing unless you're Ragna.

Pic for today:
Desc: Ragna Orion 'Miraikuru' Kent stabs himself with the sword.

P.S. I forgot to mention Ragna wears glasses due to his bad eyesight, and also has a left arm, please remember this if I will mention it in the next chapters. Don't say I don't remind you.
