head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing back, I touched its body, and the ice around it started to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crack slowly covered the entire body of the monster before a crumbling sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mist of ice moved along with the wind as the monster's body turned into nothing but dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked through the crowd, who now looked at me with fearful eyes, before I reached Nella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go,\" I said while she passed the child to his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where?\" she asked, tilting her head. \"...Didn't we kill the monster already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't change much,\" I replied, walking while she followed. \"Killing the monster is nothing but a temporary solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You think there are more—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I do,\" I cut her off, glancing back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a thoughtful look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know about that monster?\" she asked as we once again arrived at the barren part of the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Redom,\" I replied, thinking about them. \"...They are the bastard offspring of a mystical beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hunt alone, and because they kill their birth mother when they become adults, there are only a small number of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they common here?\" she asked, walking beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the problem,\" I replied, looking at her. \"They are native to Alfheim—the lands of elves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are they doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....It's weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire thing with the kidnapping doesn't make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Redom are some of the rare beings who don't like eating humans because of their lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a monster like that kidnapping people for food doesn't sit well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Are they being controlled?\" I mumbled, rubbing my chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then who is controlling them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone from the town?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't do that,\" Nella grumbled, making me turn my head to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting like you're onto something,\" she replied with a cheeky grin. \"That doesn't suit your face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You know what doesn't suit you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at me, blinking innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing,\" I replied as we arrived at the temple. \"And yeah, Princess Arianell is a bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does she have to do with anything?\" her grumbling voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just stating facts,\" I replied with a light shrug. \"She is such a low—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is your stamina?\" she cut in. \"Can you walk more than ten steps?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, very funny,\" I replied, glaring at her as we entered the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was still the same, but unlike before, that creepy old lady wasn't present here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood was still there, so what I saw wasn't an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...She just vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remind me, why are we here now?\" Nella asked as I crouched down in front of the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I noticed something last time.\" Taking out my handkerchief, I whispered as I started wiping the dust away, \"...The patterns on the wall are actually drawings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drawings cleared up, but they were nothing but some random naked woman flying in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I call you a lucky pervert—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, I turned around to move towards a different wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I observed the wall for a while, just to make sure it wasn't another naked woman before cleaning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...And there it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman sitting on a throne with people kneeling in front of her as if worshipping her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is she?\" Nella, standing beside me, asked, squinting her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Primordial demoness,\" I replied softly as I sidestepped a little before cleaning the wall again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one the townsfolk worshipped?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep,\" I replied, observing the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, her image was clear, showing her three heads and pairs of six arms on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what caught my interest was how she was holding a single spear with all her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....A Primordial weapon,\" I mumbled as I recognized the weapon belonging to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's on the same level as the one my mother has.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know about it?\" Nella asked, her curiosity clear in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, I do,\" I replied as I sidestepped again. \"Every Primordial being has a weapon associated with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I've never heard about primordial evils having them,\" she mumbled, rubbing her chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because their weapons were scattered,\" I replied, looking at her. \"Broken into three pieces and hidden in different places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied, walking towards a different wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Do you have any idea, El?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...I don't.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I see.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So their weapons become worthless?\" Nella asked curiously, skipping steps to stand beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, if one could find all the parts, they could rebuild it,\" I replied, shaking my head. \"...Or one could use those broken parts for their divinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Come to think of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't there a quest related to it in the second game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save the new vessel of Taishareth from the Valentine Highbloods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Was she more suitable than the current one?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...She awakened faster than Shyamal.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[.....]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...What?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Just remember, Shyamal is like a time bomb. She isn't entirely safe, and neither are you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...I know.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, don't these weapons become weaker after rebuilding?\" I turned to look at Nella as she mumbled, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, each one of them grows stronger separately,\" I replied, shaking my head. \"I've also heard about some gods splitting into multiple demigods to heal faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still worth it,\" I replied, shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shifting to another wall, I cleaned it, only to find nothing in particular except the headless bodies of children and their blood getting collected in a large bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a step back as I tried to analyze everything that I had collected till now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weapon, worshipers, and sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A picture slowly started to form in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something doesn't add up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....Redom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is that monster related to all of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what now?\" I turned to look at Nella as she asked, her hands in her pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Now, we wait,\" I replied, glancing up at the sky. \"...For night to arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanna eat something?\" I asked, looking back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're paying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Akasha shone brightly in the sky, its light illuminating the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilly breeze rushed past us from the south, making me flinch a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the windows of the surrounding houses were clung shut, and the square pathway street was utterly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...People really do fear the night,\" Nella, who walked beside me, mumbled, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head in response as I glanced at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you want to be here?\" I calmly asked. \"Things can go wrong real quick—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I'm scared?\" she grinned as she replied, \"And knowing your stamina, I can always outrun you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words trailed off as I glared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really gets on my nerves sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any plans, or are we just patrolling today?\" she asked as I stopped and leaned against a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my guess is right, people will get kidnapped tonight,\" I replied, looking around the town. \"...And in large numbers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded while she leaned on the wall just beside me, her lips parting as she whispered, \"...So, evil mother, huh? Never thought of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to talk about it,\" I said sternly, ending the conversation before it started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I am sorry,\" she whispered softly, looking up at me. \"...For saying all those things—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need your pity,\" I cut in, looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not pitying you,\" she replied, her voice soothing. \"...I mea– just...
