The Search for Freedom 64 The Pursuing
I walked towards Alicia and shouted on her ear to wake her up from being dead to the world. She opened her eyes and looked at me. I didn't know what happened to her. She might had fallen into reverie and hadn't noticed what was happening. It would become difficult for me if she'd always be like this; she couldn't help me when I'd be in danger.I should practice magic to become powerful, so that I wouldn't rely on this demon, and I would be more powerful than her. After that, I didn't care about her anymore and I would let her do everything she'd wanted."Kaila! Where's the speedy man now?" Alicia asked."Good to know that you came back to the real world," I replied. "Can I know where you had been that you were just standing there?""Sorry, uh, I did not saw what happened a while ago, I had just remembered something about my past. So, can you tell me what happened and where's the speedy man now?""He already eluded." I sighed."Eluded? But why did not you stopped him? Why you let him e
The Search for Freedom 65 The Hesitation
LilSitting on the ground while waiting for Cain to come back and say something about the second person who was destined to fight me, I didn't know why we needed to search for that person here, though there were too many places in the world where there was no danger. Perhaps Cain thought that the people who were destined to fight with me were living in dangerous places. It wasn't my mistake if I could not assist him in his search for that person, because he was the one who chose to come here, not me.After a few moments of waiting, Cain eventually came back. I knew it wasn't his mistake if I waited too long, but my mistake for I did not help myself searching for the second person. I could admit, I was a bit lazy, but there was no use talking about it. Perhaps Cain was right that I was destined to have a curse and to fight with a hundred people to make me realize my laziness, and it could not help me solve my problem. I didn't know why I was born like this though we were poor and I nee
The Search for Freedom 66 The Bamboo Woman
"If you want, then tell me, what is it?" I queried."She has an attractive appearance, so you should fight against your lust if you want to kill her." Cain sighed as if he were really worried about me."Just that? Don't worry man, that's just a little thing. And we're not the same, because I'm not as lascivious as you.""You! You have a lot of debt to me. Let's see what will happen if you see her." Cain started walking away.I stood up and asked, "Hey! Where are you going?""I will search for the third person who was destined to fight you while you're doing your task here, so that we won't need to waste our time in searching again, and we won't need to fight anymore because of it!""Kay, then take care!" I half-shouted."They will take care of me, because I'm untouchable!"I didn't care if Cain would not help me in killing the second person. Perhaps it was the right time to do something alone, for my own sake. I didn't really care because I'm used to being alone. It was time to stop re
The Search for Freedom 67 The Weird Demon
KailaThe breeze whispered throughout the treetops; the tall grasses around them were dancing with them too. Counting dust, Alicia and I were sitting on the bench by the endless road."We've been waiting here for over an hour. Do you really think that the speedy man will go back here?" Alicia asked."Of course, I'm sure everyone wants to go back to where they came from, and even you. Have more patience because nothing will happen if you only complain there," I replied."Maybe nothing will happen also if we will just sat down here and won't move, we might caught the speedy man if we'd pursued him.""Still nothing will happen if we pursued that man, we'll just make ourselves fools of pursuing something we cannot catch.""But can't you see that it's more better to try and failed than not trying at all? Look, there's nothing happening, because we're sitting and loitering here for an hour, we will be bored, so if not now, when?""Alice, can't you just calm? Can't you see that even we're jus
The Search for Freedom 68 The Fan Girl
After killing the speedy man, I realized that being quick in every movement could make my mission be done quickly too. That kind of power was what I was attempting to master in the days that followed. With the help of my vision, it became easier than I thought. I could then move quickly like a speedy man. But it didn't mean that I could easily master this technique, as if I couldn't control this power, it might bring me into danger.I and Alicia were currently strolling anywhere, taking the road, which seemed endless. We seemed to be free from the curses, because we didn't mind anything. Meanwhile, I was also practicing some dark magic while taking a quiet road, as I used to grow a hundred plants around."Are you not tired of spreading plants anywhere?" Alicia asked."Of course I'm not, look! I cannot be tired anymore!" I replied."I know you cannot be tired easily, but I also know that your patience won't last longer. I noticed you can now move faster like the speedy man. I just want
The Search for Freedom 69 The Squashed Head
LilAs I expected, the bamboo woman attempted to prick me with her pointed bamboo hands. It was so dangerous if she could prick me. I was sure that her hands could inflict some wounds on me, though they didn't look that sharp in my eyes.I was doing everything I could to avoid her angry attacks. She was determined to prick me somewhere around my body, and she was so fast, but no one was faster than me; even her fastest moves were just a warm up for me, but she tried to prick me many times.Minutes elapsed, and she was panting right then. Her wet hair and body had turned sweaty. Unlike me, I wasn't panting. I knew I could not be tired easily as a normal human. I had the capability to not become tired, no matter what kind of fight I would be going through.I was glad and lucky that she hadn't pricked me; I had avoided all of her attacks. Then she stopped for a while and looked down at the ground filled with dead leaves of huge trees. Perhaps she was confused and wondering why she was was
The Search for Freedom 70 The Talkative Demon
It had been twenty-four hours since I had been here in a place where I expected to be with the third person who was destined to fight me. A weird and scary place, because of the prevailing silence and emptiness. Though I was used to living in silence, I felt something odd there. It was the emptiness, and I was scared for so many reasons. It had been two days of being here, in a place where there wasn't even a tiny ant, not even an air bubble, and I was curious if I could breathe.A question, "How did I get here?" was messing my mind. I only remembered that I was trying to teleport to the place of the third person who I needed to kill in order to get rid of the curse, and I brought myself here. I seemed to fail in controlling myself from transporting, and it brought me into nothingness. There were only three words I could say: I WAS LOST, and I didn't know how to get back to the real world.Right there, I realized: it was my mistake. I was thinking about the void while teleporting. At t
The Search for Freedom 71 The Debt
KailaI was interested in what Alicia wanted to tell me, but she was also right; we needed to do something in order to kill the fan girl. That girl was more important than anything else in this kind of situation. I should not let her escape; otherwise we would need to search for and fight her. I didn't want her to know there was someone going to kill her, or else she would have prepared for it and it would be difficult for me.There was nothing else we could do but wait for the fan girl to drop her fan and give up. This kind of fight was like the Cold War, in which we didn't need or use swords and strength. This fight mightn't have to come into ardor because if the fan girl dropped her fan, I didn't need to exert force in order to kill her. But I could not judge someone by their appearance. I should be prepared for the possibility that it will turn out differently than I expected.After a few moments of waiting, the fan girl stood up and walked again. Along the quiet, lonely road witho
