Year 3395. - The Fierce God - 1

A man on the driving seat turned around to check situations behind of his carriage.  Monsters which had been following his carriage, started to attack all at once.  He speeded up his auto- horse; however, the distance between them gets shortened each time he looked back.  He shook his head to get rid of a bad image. Then he turned back his head forward to find the way to escape.  Suddenly he sees a man, with blond hair and blue eyes just like the sky, standing on the way. Unlike his orderly face, his body seemed to be well trained as one of the ancient warrior statue.  “Hey! You!! It's dangerous here!! Monsters are attacking me!!!”  Driver shouted has hard as he could.  Even though driver's shout had been muted by sound of rolling weal, a mysterious man responded to it.  He pulled out his sword with heavy sound, and he rushed into the carriage.  Then he jumped on the roof of fast running carriage. After landing, he kept going on the roof, then raged into group of monsters. It happened in very short period of the time so the driver could not figure out what exactly happened.  When driver looked back, mysterious man was fighting against group of monsters by himself.  There were 5 of monster corpse already.  “Oh, boy! Killed that many monsters already?”  A plan came up in driver's head when he said that.     A mysterious man named Abel, slayed the first monster by using the momentum of jumping off from carriage roof. Then he made a high- speed turn with sword sticking out. That movement blew couple of monsters off.  Then he crushed head of monster which was trying to jump on to him.  Now monsters stated wincing for a moment.     Those monsters had the shapes of both lizard and wolf. Yet it is carnivorous monster, they would only eat smaller monsters or animals. Humans had barely attacked by them.  Disappearance of chaotic whirlpool [Profound] caused decreasing numbers of monsters. It means the food source of that monster was decreasing also. That might be a reason why that monster attacked carriage. They were longing for food.     “Maybe we have something in common, huh?”  Abel showed some sympathy towards those chaotic monsters eaten away by parallel world.  “However!”  Monsters started to attack again. Survival instinct of those monsters made them to attack from both sides.  --Right one is bit faster!  The sharpened five senses of Abel gave himself incredible response to avoid that attack. He twisted his body to dodge the attack from the right side. By keeping that momentum, he slayed two monsters at the same time.  Unintentional smile showed on his face. Adrenalin in his brain gave him enhancement. His sight became all in white. Only [Himself] and [Enemy] was in there.  Now the wasteland turned into a battle field.  And Abel turned as “The Fierce God.”     “Wow! Look at the mess here. Can't you be a little nicer?”  That voice brought Abel back from trance.  Abel turns around to direction that voice came from.  There was driver of carriage, ride on auto- horse, coming closer. He would be slayed by Abel if he gets any closer when Abel was on trance.  Abel started to look around to make sure every single monster is dead using his sharpened senses.  When he made sure nothing is moving around, he asked to that driver,  “What you want?”  Driver started to laugh loudly.  “HA-HA. What I want? Huh? That's the funny one. Well I'm here to hire you.”  “You......hire me?”  “Well, yeah. I want have someone can fight like that as guard of our caravan. Oh I can't pay you right now, but don't worry. I'll pay you good when we arrived to Meriguadia.”  Meriguadia Kingdom, ruled by [Over Lord] Batista, is located far away from here, Abel thought. Why would the caravans of Meriguadia wondering around this place near the Imperroda? Abel started to think in deeply.  “Oh. I guess you are thinking why we're wondering around here, huh? Well you know Meriguadia and Imperroda allied couple month ago, right? And new trading route had set up. We are on the way back of our first trade. Then I attacked by monster and you helped me! Well, I was amazed by how strong you are! Nice fight! Nice fight there!!”  Abel knew that guy did not see that battle at all. This trader just flatters Abel to make him feel good to be caravan guard.  However, that did not work with Abel.  “Shut your mouth for a bit, will you?”  “Oops sorry, sorry. My mouth flatters by itself. Sucks to be a dealer, huh? OK, how about this. I'll give you a lot of food. We have enough storage for you to get stuffed every day. How is that sound? ”  Able noticed that remaining of his food is almost empty. He thought for a moment, and made up his mind.  “OK. I'm on.”  “There you go! Get on the horse!”  When Abel put his foot on the step, he asked,  “What you are going to do if I decided to attack you guys.”  “Nope. That's not going to be happened”  Trader grins.  “You are not the kind of guy who commits robbery. You are kind of guy just longing for a fight. Am I right?”  An analysis of trader surprised Abel. That trader seems to have sharp observant eye.  “Never underrate traders, huh?”  Abel smiled in a different way than the smile during the battle.     A couple of the day passed after meeting of Meriguadian caravan.  Travel was safe. They had been attacked by some monsters, but Able killed them all.  The only complain Abel had is the bed. The bed in carriage was awful. He slept during a day because he was guarding caravan during a night. He tried to sleep in running carriage; however, it was hard for him to sleep on that awful bed.  Maybe that was the reason why Abel had a nightmare today...  He is dreaming of his past, the past which he would never want to bring back.     [In the Night mare]  “What are you doing? Kill him! Now!”  The bloodshot eye, the eyes of insanity which is seeking for absolute might, was staring at Abel.  He pulled his sword down and said,  “I have already defeated him. Also Nicolas will be a good fighter if we continue to train him”  “You still do not understand”  Father of Abel, Oswald Townsend was walking close to him.  “What is the swords man? What is the might?”  Before this duel against little brother Nicholas, Oswald said this is the formal duel. It meant as the duel to decide formal successor of [Instructor of Swordplay] for Lubiana Kingdom. That is what Oswald wanted to mention.  “I will ask you again! What is the swords man? What is the might?”  Oswald pulled out Abel's sword and handed to Abel's hand.  “Now this is the answer!”  “No! Father!!!”  Abel forced to swing his sword downward in to Nicolas.  “Agh!”  Blood of Nicolas splashed. It was obvious to anyone that it was the life ending stroke.  “Please!! Please stop! Father! My little brother is going to die!!”  “That's right! Nicolas was weak swords man! That is why he is dying now!! Now Abel! You are the winner! You will be my successor!!”  Abel felt the end of Nicholas in his hand. However, Oswald did not release Abel. Then body of Nicholas stopped twitching.  “Nicholas!!!!!!!!!!!”  Something in Abel had exploded. Unexpected force came out from the bottom of his body. He released himself from Oswald and swung his sword to his own father.  It was a fast powerful stroke. Even the trained swords man will not be able to dodge. However, the number one swords man of the Kingdom avoided Abel's deadly blow.  “Ha-ha. That was a nice stroke. Become much stronger. That is what the swords man is all about.”  “AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGUH”  Abel's did not care about anything.  I will kill this man--  That was the only thing he could think of. Only the [enemy] was in his sight.  Everything turned in to white in his sight.     When Abel realized, his whole body was covered by blood. He had scars everywhere in his body.  Then he found his father lay down in the pound of blood.  Dead body of Nicolas lay down beside of Abel.  “Oh I killed them....”  That is what Able was thinking at the end of this tragedy.        Abel woke up slowly.  “What happened? Had a nightmare or something?”  A trader who brought Abel to this caravan said.  “Yup....Really bad one”  Abel jumps off from carriage.  “Hey! Where are you going?”  “It's my work time.”  Abel said shortly, and pulled out his sword.  A group of monster was outraging to caravan.
