[BONUS]

Emi’s POV

“Can we not run?” Sheryl whined.

At this level, I had misplaced depend of what number of instances she had complained. “This crimson water factor on my face feels gross, however I would reasonably not die of exhaustion. In any case, we’re already moist even when we do not run.”

I betted my eyelids at her, however we did decelerate our tempo.

“Let’s simply hurry and rapidly discover shelter within the village,” mentioned Brago.

We would been repeatedly working for nearly an hour now, and my stamina was reaching its restrict. To not point out that my abdomen was growling continuous.

“We want meals and relaxation, or our HP will drop,” I reminded our chief. “Our stamina is already reaching its restrict.”

“That is why we have to hurry again into the village. There may be an inn and meals there,” Brago retorted.

Megu’s baby was speaking gibberish once more, and the noise wasn’t humorous when paired with the splashing rain. The child was all cooped up inside her mom’s loving embrace in her gown, protected against the rain.

I took a deep breath.

“That is why we have to stroll, so our stamina would not undergo a lot,” Sheryl shouted on the again.

At the very least she and I agreed on one thing.

Although Brago did not like the thought, our progress nonetheless slowed in comparison with earlier than, and never earlier than lengthy we lastly reached the gates of Euclid Village.

Or what appeared like a village.

“Did they renovated or one thing?” Edgar requested, and nobody paid him any thoughts. He would possibly as effectively be invisible.

The as soon as damaged items of picket gates had been now fabricated from robust lumber, and there have been even towers each three meters or so.

“Hey, look! Is that an inhabitant?!”

We shifted our consideration to the weird-looking creatures who had been coming and going via the gates.

“What are they?” I squinted my eyes to take a greater look however failed. They had been nonetheless a bit of too far.

“Who cares?” Edgar growled. “Let’s go contained in the village. It is freezing right here!”

Brago was fast on his ft, although. Earlier than we knew it, he was already in entrance of the bizarre creature who was standing like a human however had canine ears and tails. It seemed like a Halfling, just like the earlier inhabitants of this village.

May they nonetheless be the identical and simply occurred to renovate their village? However these lazy bunch did not strike me as a hard-working citizen. What’s extra, I have not seen this explicit creature earlier than.

“Hey, what occurred right here?” Brago requested.

The creature merely seemed over on the Brago and mentioned, “You are at present inside my Lord’s territory. Return.”

Brago’s eyebrow rose. “My Lord? Is that the brand new title of the mayor now?”

“What number of days have we been gone that this place is all of the sudden inhabited by some lord?” I requested.

That might clarify why the village seemed new. Possibly some high-ranking official from one other city went right here and determined to renovate the place.

“Return. That is your final warning,” the creature mentioned earlier than going again to the forest.

“Hey, wait! I am nonetheless speaking to you!”

The creature wasn’t bothered, and neither waited nor stopped at Brago’s voice.

We did not push the creature both, fearing that our relationship degree with them would lower to the purpose they may kill us on the spot.

Such occurrences had been too typically right here.

“Now what?”

Everybody stared on the towering picket gates earlier than taking a look at one another, discussing our destiny with silent stares.

“Let’s go and enter.” Brago stepped forwards in the direction of the doorway.

“B-but what if the lord is a scary monster?” Stan stuttered.

And earlier than anybody might reply, a loud shriek from Sheryl startled us.

“W-what is it?” Stan jumped to his toes.

“What’s it now?!” I growled at her, however after I seemed, what I noticed had me dumbfounded.

There have been all of the sudden all sizes of puss-filled warts throughout Sheryl’s youthful face. The uncovered pores and skin on her arms was additionally crimson, and there have been tiny little rashes scattered throughout her limbs.

“W-what occurred to you?!” I screamed at her.

“To me?! What occurred to your face?!”

With our questions, the each of us rapidly took a take a look at the closest puddle we might discover. The rain continued to pitter-patter, inflicting the puddle to ripple, however I nonetheless managed to see some bits of reflection of myself.

My eyes bulged out from their sockets after I noticed zits throughout my face! My pores and skin had at all times been flawless, and I took pleasure that I by no means had one zits earlier than.

However now . . . Zits in all sizes stored popping on my pores and skin, and I shrieked the loudest.

Quickly, the night time was full of our cries as all of us suffered some form of pores and skin illness in a method or one other. To not point out that this stuff had been itchy as hell!

I bit my lip till it bled, attempting to cease myself from scratching my pores and skin. Stan and Edgar could not resist the temptation and scratched to their coronary heart’s content material. Their pores and skin peeled off, and blood rapidly poured out, which did nothing however add to our hysteria.

“Settle down! Settle down, everybody!” Brago shouted and tried to pacify the state of affairs.

“Cease!” I screamed at them. “We have now to get out of right here earlier than we die!” This was in all probability the Blood Rain’s doing.

A loud thwack on the mud, as if somebody had simply fallen down with out warning, made us flip towards the supply of that sound.

Stan was useless. He laid on his again, eyes closed and mouth open in a silent scream. His face had became a pale white masks with crimson veins popping throughout it. His wrist seemed like that they had been devoured by wild little animals, however I knew that they had been scratches.

Stan had scratched so deep into his wrist that he suffered blood loss and finally died.

One other spherical of cries percolated within the air, however all I might consider was that the remainder of us weren’t far behind him.

“Let’s get out of right here!” Brago and Ford pounded onerous on the doorway, and I ran to them and did the identical whereas shouting on the prime of my lungs.

“Allow us to in!”

We should escape this rain! I had a sense that this was the reason for all of the pores and skin illnesses that we had been having.

Megu joined as effectively whereas Sheryl was too shocked that she froze on her spot, nonetheless observing Stan’s corpse that was now turning into particles.

Edgar was shedding it, and he repeatedly paced forwards and backwards, eyes crimson and bulging and holding his head with an expression that seemed prefer it was the tip of the world.

I might be the identical if we did not get out of right here quickly. The itchiness was turning into extra insufferable by the second.
