DEATH

CHAPTER THIRTY 6TH

"The core must be our aim."

I didn't move any bit but I let her to shed a tears along with the two kids who were also crying. For her to come across such an inebriated dickhead must be traumatic, especially for the kids.

"T-thank you.. for helping me a-again." After giving me a hug, she wipes her tears from her cheeks.

Having questioned her earlier, she just hug me in a sudden as a response and I can't blame her for doing that despite the fact that we've only met twice,

"Death, what ought should we do about this?" Tumalikod ako upang makita si Kae. Hawak hawak nito sa buhok 'yong lalaki kanina.

He had a lot of bleeding and bruises, his clothes are also torn but I am confident that he's still alive. My friends won't kill him anyway. If they do that, that would be our loss.

I took a peek behind me before answering him, "Let Yun to use her barrier." Yun's barrier is quite handy.

With her gourmet magic, she can cast any sort of food and bring it to life so that it can be used to bind someone using the barrier spell.

"Oteey! Lemme handle that man!" She said with glee as she moved in front of the man. "The eight-tentacles barrier!"

She raised her hand as Kae released the man's hair, which now resembled to be a tiny rat being clutched by a blue-ringed octopus created by Yun's magic. You read that right—a Blue-ringed octopus, one of the ocean's most dangerous creatures. It bites to transmit the venom. Regardless of the fact that they don't have teeth, yet they bite since they could inflict poisonous bites with their keen beaks.

Any person or item can be reduced in size by Yun's barrier, while the octopus wraps around in order to seal in its eight tentacles.

No one has been able to break through her barrier yet, so her barrier is the best to use, especially because the people trapped in the barrier can be easily transported due to its small size. Hindi katulad sa fire chain barrier ni Kae o water rope barrier ni Yeji because it does not shrink the person in its barrier even though it's an effective spell.

"Food la!" Nabalik ako sa reyalidad dahil kay Yun nang sumigaw itong muli habang nakalutang sa palad nito ang barrier kung nasaan ang lalaki.

"Yun, you can't eat him; that would be cannibalism." Ice said in response.

Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Yun habang nakatitig sa hawak niya. "But he's a monster.."

"WAKHAHAHAHAHAJAHAH"

True enough.

Napailing nalang ako nang magtawanan silang lahat, do'n ko lang din napansin ang mga matang kanina pa siguro kami pinagmamasdan. Mula ito sa mga residente na nagtitinda.

Nakalimutan kong napapalibutan pala kami ng ibang tao rito.

I simply disregarded it before turning back to face the woman again na nakaupo ngayon habang malamyos na kausap ang batang babaeng kasama niya.

"Uwi na po t-tayo.."

"Hahanapin pa natin si Kuya at Ate 'di ba?" Rinig kong saad ng babae habang pinupunasan ang luha nung isa.

"Where are they?" The woman turned to me right away as I joined their conversation.

Tumayo ito upang makapantay ako. "They have been missing for approximately three days at this point." Saad nito habang inuugoy ang bata na ngayon ay nakatulog na ulit. "Ang paalam nila sa akin ay dito sila pupunta, so we are here today to look for them."
