Crown Series #1: The Dark Era of Diadem

Part 2: Chapter 101

Natulala ako at naestatwa sa aking kinatatayuan. Akmang tatalunan na ako nito nang bigla itong napatigil at lumapit sa akin.

Nanginig ang buo kong katawan at hindi pa rin makagalaw. Para bang inaamoy ako nito. Mas lalo pa nitong nilapit ang mukha sa akin, kaya mas lalo kong napagmasdan ang nanlilisik nitong pulang mata.

My breath hitched, heart's beating faster, my nerves are shaking to the core.

Then suddenly, the beast hissed at me and immediately backed away.

'Strong monster!'

I heard her saying it. Kumunot ang noo ko at dahan-dahang umaatras habang nakatitig pa rin sa akin. She keeps on hissing but I can say that her guard is up.

Tila ba nag-iingat sa akin. Eh 'di ba dapat ako pa ang nag-iingat sa kaniya. And wait, did she just call me... strong monster? Monster? Excuse me?

"Did you just labeled me as a monster?" may bahid na inis kong saad dito habang binabantayan ang kaniyang kilos.

Dahan-dahan kasi itong pumapa-ikot sa akin. Nang sabihin ko iyon ay napatigil siya at nag-growl.

"You understands me?" naguguluhang tanong niya.

Buti na lamang ay hawak ko pa ang pana kaya mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang pagkakakapit doon.

"Of course. It surprises me that you, a type 2 level beast has the ability to communicate."

It's my first time encountering beasts and it's kind of incredible that I met a beast who can talk.

She growled at me and walked towards me but in a slow way. Tila ba tinatantya niya kung may gagawin ako sa kaniya.

"You're not normal," she said.

I'm starting to get an idea that I am able to communicate with her because of the black magic that I have.

"So are you," I replied and position myself as I formed in an archer position to aim at her heart.

The arrow flew fast to her direction as soon as I released it. It got her taken aback and all I could hear was her loud growl and tries to attack me but the arrow struck on her heart already.

Within just seconds, her ash become one with the air. Thank goodness that she can only communicate with me intellectually. Wala akong ideya kung naririnig ba ang mga sinasabi rito sa labas. Pero sure akong nakikita nila kung ano ang mga kilos namin. Kaya naman dapat hindi sila maghinala kung anong meron sa akin.

Tumingin ako sa palapulsuhan ko at kaagad na nag-reflect ang score sa aking pulso.

250 score; 7 minutes and 40 seconds had pass.

They can't know that I am not normal, that I am not like them. I can't risk myself to that. Dahil alam ko, kapag may nakaalam, hindi lang ako ang mapapahamak. Marami ang madadamay nang dahil sa akin at baka ang nanyari noong past life ko ay mas malala pa, kung sakali.

Besides, alam kong may plano si Yana sa akin para maalis na ito nang tuluyan. Hindi dahil sa ayaw ko, kung hindi dahil, alam kong sa ikabubuti ito ng lahat. Maaaring may mapahamak nang dahil sa akin dahil mayroon akong kakaibang kapangyarihan at halata namang napakadelikado nito. Based on the events that happened to me.

I even had a killing spree when my grandfather died. I can't risk anymore.

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad para maghanap ng iha-hunt ko. May mga nakita akong usa, kaya naman pinapana ko rin at nadadagdagan ang score ko.

So far, wala pa akong nakikitang beast ulit. Hindi ko alam kung nasaang lupalop ba si Izabel, at wala na rin naman akong pakielam kung anong mangyari sa kaniya. Karmahin sana siya.
