Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 12 11. The Punishment Area
The bald man continued to stare at that area without any expression on his face. He felt someone tugging his shirt as he glanced back.
The young robot looked up with an innocent-looking expression on his face, "Did you just throw them into the punishment center?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that too much? I mean, they're still young and new to this world….."
"Shut it. You're my robot, not their lawyer."
Dirt said nothing as he walked back and sat in the comfort of his cough, not saying anything. His expression looked like that of a pouting child who was wronged. He crossed his arms on his chest as he stared at the TV screen without saying another word.
The bald man ignored his stupid robot and walked out as he glanced at the scene outside the window. Even though it was excessive, he still needed to ensure that these two were truly humans.
Demons also had the ability to mess with memories. So he didn't want to believe anyone so easily. But there was a situation where the demons would show their true personality— when they were in a drastic position.
The bald man wanted to see what these people were and what they could do when cornered. Of course, he wouldn't let them die so quickly. If they were demons, he would torture them with his own hands.
But if they turned out to be humans…..
The bald man frowned. He didn't know how to deal with this situation, but if the young man were someone who was wronged somehow because of the dark cosmic energy, he would definitely extend a hand and help find a solution.
It all depended on how the youth would react to the situation.
The two youths didn't know what the instructor was thinking. They didn't even get another chance to think anymore as they fell from the first floor directly to the ground filled with grass and trees. When they fell with a thud, their bodies were covered with scratches, twigs, branches, and even leaves on their bodies.
Despite this, neither of them felt a trace of pain in their bodies. Shane touched a scratch on his face and flinched. It only pained when he touched it. If he had fallen off from such a height in his world, he would have surely broken his bones.
He looked at Tess, and only after making sure that she was still alright did he relax his shoulders, "Where are we?"
"The heck I know! I was doing just fine until you came along!" 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
"Hah, says the girl who can't even properly cover her chest in my absence."
Tess glared at her brother and fixed her clothes, "That's just because we fell in an awkward position."
Shane didn't bother arguing with her anymore. Getting out of here was more of a crucial point.
Tess also realized that they weren't in a good situation. So she didn't bother anymore with her brother as she looked around with a cautious gaze. Then she opened her mouth, "I don't know many things about this world, but here's the thing you should know. This place is called the Orient continent, and we have three more. The one we came from was called Septo, the continent full of darkness and abyss. No one is allowed there without a special permit from the government, and monsters are also very powerful. They say the monsters are of the third level."
"Let me guess, third is the highest?"
"Yes, the monsters we witnessed back then during our trials were all babies."
Babies? Shane's lips twitched. If those were babies, he wondered what the parents would look like. It was good that he didn't end up witnessing a group of huge parents rushing after their kids.
"So, what do we have here?"
"All I have heard about Orient is that it's the most backward of all with all poor systems living here having a low level. There are indeed people who don't want to continue to level up. They can find odd jobs such as opening a shop, cleaning duties, becoming soldiers, etc. You have seen many such people, even our instructor."
Shane's face had a trace of anger at the last word, "Don't remind me of that bald guy."
Just as Tess was about to open her mouth, the two heard a roar echoing in the background. The two of them froze as they stared in the direction from where the sound was coming. It didn't seem like the monster that made the noise just now was far away.
Another roar sounded.
It was closer!
Shane rushed toward Tess and pushed the girl behind him as he glanced around. The girl became even more confused after seeing such action as she voiced her thoughts in a complaining tone, "Brother, I can fight too."
"Shh. Silence," Shane put his finger on his lips, "Did you hear that?"
"You mean the roar?"
"No. The footsteps."
When Tess focused on the background, she could feel the ground shaking beneath her feet as the low sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Her eyes widened as she felt cold sweat on her back. She opened her mouth and asked, "What should we do?"
"Hide behind me."
"But I can really fight."
"I said no!"
"Brother!"
"Tess! Do as I say!" Shane yelled at the girl and pushed her behind a tree. Then he turned toward the sound as he stared at the scene in front of his eyes with a cautious gaze.
Even though he was scared, he had someone to protect. He couldn't care less about his emotions. He firmly slapped his cheeks and took a deep breath.
What did the bald man say after the fight? He had dark cosmic energy inside him that only the demons could access. He wondered if he could use his power to intimidate the monsters since these monsters should have a trace of the same energy running through their veins.
Soon enough, the monster arrived. It was as big as the height of an average-looking tree. That was why when it was stomping its feet toward Shane, many trees fell on the ground, making its way clear.
When the monster finally stood in front of Shane, the latter realized how naive he had been, to think that he could intimidate a beast like this.
It had the mouth of a goblin with sharp canines poking out of his lips. Its huge eyes filled with red lines made the monster look even more horrible. A blood and mucus stench was coming out of the beast that made Shane wrinkle his nose. The entire green body was covered with mud, blood, and mucus as it walked on its two feet.
The monster raised its hand filled with dirty and sharp nails toward Shane and rushed at the young man with the fastest speed possible!
