In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair-Chapter 77

77 The Second wave

“Now tell us, what did you do to her? You little sh*t!”

Henry glared at Justice while Vale chuckled with a cup of aggrus in his hand.

Justice rolled his eyes. “I do nothing to her. Calm down.” He was obviously lying.

“We have our deal! We weren’t supposed to get in touch with her. How in Gods she was here? Even as your attending healer?!” As much as he and Vale love to see Anne, he also worries for her safety.

“Fine! It was because of the f*cking second exam, someone hurt her, and we thought it will be best for us to protect her if she were closer, and of course to tell her the truth.” Justice trying to explain everything to Henry and Vale as short as possible, but he exhausted to tell them the whole story where something peculiar happened to him, “We got the book from the Beyor cemetery, we got some interesting journey to get that bloody book.”

“What kind of interesting journey, Justice?” Asked Vale. Justice was disturbed by his sudden question, but he knows Vale was a meticulous man, unlike Henry.

“We met someone,” It was Xavier, talking to them after accompanying Anne back to her room, he walk and plunged himself onto the sofa, with his hands go behind his head he talks about the incident at Beyor cemetery, “Anne met with someone who turned out to be another being that separated us briefly at the cemetery,”

Henry and Vale shared a glance, Xavier knew immediately they are worried, “Nothing to worry about, she was safe, turned out when we were separated, Anne got propelled with the guards to another room, while I was with Andy a junior librarian.”

“What about you, Justice?” Asked Vale. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

.....

“I was alone...” His face briefly looks at Xavier, warning him not to talk further. “He got away though. We don’t know who he is.”

The room grew quieter for a while. Henry was obviously not very interested in the story as long as Anne was safe, and Xavier was being shut completely by Justice, Vale, however, grew suspicious. He could see that something happened in the Beyor cemetery, people know the legend of the Beyor cemetery, but no one wanted to go there, even the crown prince and a huntsman captain.

Standing up from his seat, Justice stretches his body and yawned, “How about we go to sleep now? All of us need some sleep.”

“Yes, I was exhausted. Horden trained me like a f*cking amateur every day.” Henry goes out from the rest area before the others.

Vale followed him from behind, but from his side eye, he saw Xavier having a serious confrontation with Justice. He close the door and walked back to his room. Vale was convinced that something terrible happened at Beyor’s cemetery.

Opening his door, he looks at Silver Hawk perched on the canopy of the bed.

“Silver Hawk, I need to ask you something.”

‘What is it, master?’

“When you were away to inform Justice, did something happen around him?” Asked Vale, while he put off his shirt and put it on the chair beside the fireplace.

‘Nothing happened around him, master.’

Frowning, he turned around to see his familiar, “Really? Nothing happened?”

‘Yes, nothing happened, master, because it was prince Jason who received your message. He told me that the crown prince was still resting in his bedchamber.’

Suddenly, Vale slammed the bedpost. “That’s it. Something happened to Justice at Beyor’s cemetery, but why does he need to cover it up?”

Silver Hawk comically tilted his head to Vale. ‘Truthfully, I don’t know, master.’

He smile at his familiar, “No, my question wasn’t intended for anyone. Thank you, Silver Hawk. You can go back to rest now.” Silver Hawk, although coming from the strongest bird species in the kingdom, he’s not the brightest one out there. His personality is almost childlike.

‘Alright, good night master.’

“Good night, Silver Hawk.” Said Vale. He was in the middle of adding more firewood to the fireplace.

Afterward, Vale’s mind was wandering around. He gets a restless sleep, thinking about his friend. Something was in the back of his mind when Justice mentioned Beyor cemetery. He remembered his late grandfather told him the legend back then, but his version of the legend differed from the others.

“If only I remembered.” Muttering Vale with his head on the pillow, not long after he felt his eyes getting heavier, and he fell asleep with Silver Hawk beside him.

In another room, Henry and Xavier not feeling tired at all, decide to continue their conversation in Henry’s room. They enjoy the aggrus, wallowing on the moon, and having a nice conversation. Hours went by when Henry suddenly wanted to ask him something.

“Now, you know what I’m about to ask you, right?” Said Henry to Xavier.

Xavier felt nervous all of a sudden, Justice already warned him about the incident at Beyor cemetery, he sips his drink and took a glance at Henry, “Fine, but I’m not going to tell you anything about Justice, he’s fine.”

“Wait, did something happen to Justice?” Asked Henry with a frown on his face.

Xavier rustled his hair in frustration. “F*ck, that wasn’t your question. Justice will kill me.”

“Xave... What happened?! Just tell me,” Henry practically begged Xavier to speak the truth. He could see the matter was more serious than he thought.

“Fine, I’ll tell you, remembered when he said that there was someone, he was something else, when we fought with him, he...”

Suddenly the sound of a siren blaring from outside, Xavier and Henry stand up immediately. They summon their weapon and look at each other.

“I’ll go fetch Anne.” Said, Henry.

Xavier nodded his head. “I’ll go fetch Vale and Justice.”

They separated in the middle of the hallway. The siren can’t be heard anymore, but the echoes of a resounding horn came from inside the portal. Xavier pounded at the door in all the rooms. When he reached Justice’s room, Vale was there with Justice beside him. Both of them look at Xavier, and he immediately knew what they were going to ask.

“Don’t worry, Henry’s with her. He will make sure she goes to the underground shelter,” Xavier tells them, and together they run into the portal.

The portal was already half open, and the small monster came out, scattering around, terrorizing the citizens who were trying to go inside the shelter. Justice and Xavier called their familiar to help. Kirara and Ageha came from their master’s calling. The pixikeep brought mayhem. They bite and scratch everyone around, even gouging some of their eyes, It was hard to kill the pixiekeep it’s because they are small and agile.

Xavier grab two from one lady that lose half of her hair and with scratches around her face, he slammed the pixiekeep together and stomped on it. They instantly dispersed into glittering ashes. Justice slashed so many of them with his fire sword, while Kirara gnawed on three of them.

Henry saw Kirara, and disgusted by it, “Oh God! She was a messy eater.” His hand skillfully pierced and slashed two of the pixiekeeps.

“Oh, shut up Henry, just waited until Sabrina matured. She will be messier than Kirara, I am sure of it! Where’s Anne?” Shouted Justice at Henry, while he was busy dodging two angry pixiekeeps.

“Safe inside the shelter, don’t worry.” Said, Henry.

As soon as the three of them heard she was safe, they were actively destroying the small size that keep coming. Vale uses the tornado and also the protection spell on all the soldiers, but when Xavier looks up into the portal and saw three Minotaurs and five Bog Yeti get out from the portal. He immediately informed the others, “The medium size is here!”

They cursed and prepare themselves to eight medium and even stronger sizes than the monster.

“Vale, you go with Xavier, while Henry, you assist me, the other captains, make a team and pick your opponent wisely, good luck everyone!” Justice shouts at the whole garrison, which makes them cheer and prepared for full combat.

All of them were already exhausted. The enemies don’t come as the first wave, but it’s already taken a toll on them. Jason came to his brother’s side, and together they rally the attack against the group of medium size monsters that came into them. The formation from the gallant knight, the magical circle that came from the magi, and also the battle cry from the huntsman.

The attack was brutal, as much as they tried to handle the monsters the soldiers were already losing so much stamina and magica, Justice looked around to see Vale, Henry and Xavier managed to kill three of the Bog yeti, he looks at his brother and together they charge into one minotaur that was in the middle of pounce a soldier into the ground. Justice succeeded in cutting one hand, and when the minotaur is in much pain, Jason came and impale the head of the minotaur using his spear.

The medium size was all being slain. They have destroyed the second wave. The soldiers were cheering. They were living in the moment until two humongous hands with claws appear from the portal.

A colossal monster appeared from the portal, dark scales all over the body, a huge head with a big elongated horn on each side, yellow eyes, and fangs all over the mouth.

Xavier looks at the monster and knew the species right away. “Sh*t, it’s a Bahamut.” He turned to Justice and said, with a horrified face, “We are doomed.”
