Chapter 12: Courage!

At midnight, the town, which had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by a sudden shout.

"The parasitic beast has appeared!!"

"Run!"

"The parasitic beast has appeared!"

Countless torches soon lit up the night in the town of Erie, and a large number of residents rushed out of their houses in rags.

"Where's the parasite?"

"Hurry up and call Luffy-sama!"

"It's over! Luffy-sama is gone! ”

"What?! No way! Luffy-sama! Luffy-sama! ”

"Luffy-sama, please help us!"

"Lord Awoken, please help us!"

"There are no more Awakened Ones! There are no more Awakened Ones!! ”

"Go to the next town! There's the Awakened there! Only the Awoken can save us! ”

"Run, run!"

The news that Luffy had left quickly spread with the appearance of a parasitic beast, further sparking panic among the residents of Erie Town.

People didn't care about their bags, and they rushed to the nearest town with their current attitude, only there is hope, only the awakened are hope!

However, the townspeople's nightmare is not over.

What is more desperate than a parasitic beast?

The answer is...... Ten parasitic beasts!

"Damn! Which idiot was exposed! ”

"Since it's exposed, let's kill it!"

"The straw hat boy is gone, and there is no need for labor and management to endure it!"

"Don't let anyone go! Otherwise, we will all be attacked by the Awakened! ”

The lurking parasitic beasts were stimulated by this change, and then suddenly burst out in the crowd! A storm of flesh and blood!

Killing Night, Hence the Killing!

——————

The scene goes back to where the event started.

At this time, in the guild hall, with the laughter of the black worm, its terrifying and ugly killing form also appeared in people's eyes.

The cracked head formed several flesh-like tentacles, human skin and flesh fibers intertwined, and at the top of it was a metal blade that shimmered with hideous light, looking cold and terrifying.

The black worm's split head formed four sharp blade tentacles, and in the center of the roots of the four tentacles were attached four eyeballs connected to the flesh line, and the eyes without emotion made the scalp tingle.

"Congratulations, you've found me...... Next, you'll be rewarded for it. A voice like an electronic synthesized voice said lightly.

"No, don't! Leave me alone...... Please let ......! The foreign man began to kowtow vigorously on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly, but his voice stopped abruptly.

"Boom"

As one of the black worm's tentacles danced a phantasm, a human head separated from its neck, and rolled out of the distance with its eyes staring.

"Ahh!!h

An even more panicked shout erupted from the crowd, upsetting the Black Worm. So he decided to reduce some of the noise sources...... It's best to restore calm here.

The bladed tentacles of soul chasing for life extended again, and the four tentacles began to harvest human lives one by one in the wild dance in the sky......

Killing at this point is no longer for predation, it is only for killing.

——————

Ye An witnessed the whole incident from the sidelines, like a pure bystander, did not do a thing, and did not say anything.

Even when the Black Worm started killing, he still couldn't do a thing and say a word.

He just followed the passers-by in his eyes to be frightened and scared together.

How is he like a savior at this time? He's just a guy who sees a dead man for the first time, a monster for the first time...... Passerby A.

Akuya beside Ye An was also stunned, she had seen too many "dead" people, but "dead" here was just an adjective, if it was a "dead" person who was replaced with a verb, she would also be the first time, and her reaction would not be much better than Ye An.

In her long work guiding the dead, she had seen all sorts of ways to die, some of which would even make her laugh...... However, until now, she had only witnessed death in the form of words, and when death was seen by her own eyes, she understood the weight and cruelty of the word.

So she was at a loss.

Not only are the two people who first know death at a loss, but Tian Dao, who has witnessed too much death, is also trembling all over!

He had experienced the scene of the giant eating people, and it was said that the scene at this time was much less cruel than then, but the shadow of the past enveloped Tian Dao's whole body at this time, making him cold to the bone and shivering.

Numbness or madness, in the two cases after the baptism of blood, the latter occupies the dominance of the field knife.

The people in the entire hall were running desperately, but these three people were stupid at the same time, losing the power to act, this should have become the three human heads that the black worm harvested in the slaughter, but unfortunately these three people were in the closest position to the door, so they obviously did not escape, but they also successfully escaped under the impact of the flow of people.

The crowd quickly dispersed as they burst out of the guild gates, leaving behind a floor littered with heavy weapons and leather armor. At this moment, these things are no longer their life-saving companions, but a burden that affects their speed.

Just like the Demon War, the chance of survival is only given to the fastest runner.

After leaving the guild, it was Akuya who recovered first, and she shook Ye An's shoulder frantically: "We're going back, we're going back!" I can save them! I can save them! "She was in tears, tears with sadness.

Ye An let Akya shake him, muttering, "You can't save them...... You can't save them...... I hurt them...... I'm the one who hurt them......"

What savior? If he hadn't helped Luffy get out of town, those people might not have died, right? He's not a savior, he's a murderer! It's a murderer who is about to kill everyone in the town!

Tears flowed from Ye An's dead eyes, and Ye An fell into boundless self-blame.

"Cheer up!" Suddenly, a voice exploded in Ye An's head!

"Cheer up, host! Think about it, you can save them, you can! ”

"Don't give up, don't give up!"

"System ......" Ye An raised his head in confusion, "I, can I still save them?" ”

System: "Yes! Think about it, think about it! ”

"Can I still save them? ...... By the way, I can still save them, I can still save them! ”

Ye An kept repeating that sentence, and then he slowly thought of something, the tone of doubt became more and more affirmative, and his eyes gradually brightened!

He jerked away from Akuya's hand and pressed her shoulder in turn: "Akua! We can save them too! You wait for me, wait for me to defeat that parasite! Until then, you have to hide and protect yourself! ”

After talking to Akuya, Ye An slapped Tian Dao, who was still trembling!

"We can save them!" He yelled at Tian Dao, "We can save them this time, Tian Dao!" Believe me! Believe in yourself! ”

After saying this, Ye An picked up the two swords dropped by others on the ground and ran out of town!

After he left, Tian Dao stopped trembling and muttered, "This time, can you save them this time......
