Chapter 88: Humans
CLANG!
"UGH!.... Where do you think you're going?" Ella grinned, blocking two goblin attacks with her massive shield.
CLANG!
Their rusty daggers clashed against the metal surface of the shield. The goblins were snarling, their eyes filled with rage. They were tiny creatures the size of a child, with green skin, pointy ears, big yellow eyes, and a pair of small fangs.
BRRR...I hate goblins. In fact, no one likes goblins, especially female hunters, because you know... they always jump on girls, trying to do all those... N-Naughty things.
FUSHHHH!
"Ella NOW!" When Sarah gave the signal, Ella slammed the two goblins with her shield, pushing them back and giving Alex the room to use his flashy flame sword to slice off one of the goblin's heads.
QUEEIKK!
The other goblin froze for a moment before quickly shifting its focus to Alex, trying to stab him from behind with its rusty dagger.
Sadly for the goblin, we always protect each other's backs.
WHOOSHH!
"Ugh!..." An ice arrow pierced the goblin's chest, freezing its heart.
"I got one," Sarah grinned, staring down at the corpse.
"Yeah," Alex replied with a weak smile. He wasn't used to killing yet. I don't blame him; there was a big difference between the monsters in the virtual training room and the real ones.
"Well done!" Olivia applauded, clapping her hands. "Your teamwork was great."
"Thank you, Miss Harper," We bowed our heads, feeling proud of ourselves. Yet I felt a little sad that I hadn't gotten the chance to use my skills. I'm a healer, and I understand the importance of a healer in a party, but doing nothing at all was boring.
"Don't worry, Jane. Everyone has a role, and yours is the most important one," Miss Harper said as if reading my mind. "Without a healer, a party can't stay alive."
"Oh... Okay," I blushed a little. I still had a long way to go and a lot to learn.
"Hey... guys, look at this," Ella called, kneeling beside the dead goblin and pointing at something on the ground—a small yellow stone.
"Is that... a goblin core?" Alex asked, leaning in for a closer look.
"Yes, it is," Olivia said, picking up the core. "A low-level one, too," she added, handing the core to Sarah.
"Is that so?" Ella said with a hint of disappointment in her voice. "I was hoping for more"
"Hahaha... Don't worry; you'll find better ones in the future," Miss Harper chuckled. "Cores are a great way to boost your strength, and of course..." She leaned in, placing her arm around Ella's shoulder, and whispered, "Making money... Hehehe."
"Oh... I like how you think, teacher," Ella smiled, giving the woman a thumbs up.
"Hahaha..."
We were having fun and joking around. This part of the forest didn't seem too dangerous; we had only encountered four goblins and one small brown boar—nothing we couldn't handle.
However, something felt off. I sensed that someone was breathing down my neck or that I was being watched.
"Something is not right," I said, drawing everyone's attention.
!!!" No one asked if I was right or wrong, and no one demanded further explanation. Ella, Sarah, and Alex immediately formed a circle around me. They knew me well enough to trust that my hunches were rarely wrong.
"What did you see?" Ella asked, holding her shield tightly and scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger.
"Nothing..." I replied, shaking my head. "Just a feeling."
"Alright, stay alert," Sarah said, summoning more ice arrows. "I got that feeling, too."
"..."
There was a moment of tension between us and the surrounding area; we stayed quiet, listening carefully.
Crack!
"THERE!" Alex and Sarah exclaimed simultaneously, turning to my left. Without hesitation, Sarah launched her ice arrows at a bush.
WHOOSHH!
We heard the ice arrows making contact with something, but we couldn't see what it was thanks to the thick leaves. However, Sarah always has a solution to every problem.
SNAP!
She snapped her fingers, causing the ice arrows to explode, sending frost shards in all directions and freezing the area.
"Ugh!..." We heard a growl of pain, and soon after, the body of a wolf fell from the bushes. Its body was covered with ice shards.
"A wolf?" Ella asked, not lowering her guard.
"Yes... A low-level one," Miss Harper replied, walking towards the wolf's corpse.
The wolf was about the size of a large dog, with white fur, black eyes, and sharp fangs. However, it looked skinny, as if it had been starving.
"Phew... you guys were lucky," Miss Harper sighed, looking up at us. "Typically, wolves move in packs, but this one was alone and weak."
"Phew… that's good," Ella breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now let's go. We still need to find a place to camp," Sarah ordered, taking the lead.
==========
"HUMANS!" I exclaimed, watching a group of young men and women in black and dark-blue bodysuits slaying monsters inside the forest.
With the help of my spiders, I found ten out of the fifteen. Two groups in two separate locations; four young men and women with an adult accompanying them. As for the last five, I still haven't found them. Yet.
This was my first time seeing a human since I got reborn into this world, and instead of getting excited at meeting my fellow humans, my feelings were the opposite.
Hatred.
An uncontrollable hatred toward them for some reason. I don't know why, and I didn't care. I wanted to rip, tear, devour, and consume everything about them.
"Kill..." I muttered under my breath, watching them slay the monsters inside the dungeon. My desire to kill grew stronger with each passing second.
I have to kill them! I want to kill them! I must kill them!
[MORGANA!]
A loud voice rang inside my head, snapping me back to reality.
"Lilith?" I wondered, looking up at the sky as a reaction.
[Calm down, Morgana,] Lilith said with a serious tone. [Don't do anything stupid.]
"I..." I was stunned. I didn't know how to react.
What happened? Why did I have such an intense reaction to them? Why did I want to kill them so badly?
"What's happening to me?" I asked, trying to get a grip. Soon, her voice was replaced with a golden system window.
[Sorry, honey, this is just a recording. I can't answer your questions, but it's not hard to guess them.]
"Sigh... just a recording," I sighed, hoping for another chance to speak with Lilith. The last time I spoke with her on a soul level, her voice had a strange effect on me—calming me.
[So... Morgi... you met humans, right?]
"Oh..." It hit me. "So this is what triggered the recording; meeting humans."
Lilith probably knew that I hate humans, so she recorded this just in case.
"I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner." I chuckled softly. "You know me too well."
[Look, Morgi, I have a couple of things to tell you about humans.]
"Okay," I nodded, waiting patiently for the golden words to change.
[First of all, humans are the only race that you can't breed with.]
"WHAT?!" My eyes went wide with shock. "Why?"
[While you can impregnate other humans, they can't impregnate you.]
[You asked me specifically for this, Morgana. I'm not going to tell you why since you lost your memory, but you really hated the idea of a human baby inside you.]
"Oh..." I see. Well, I guess my past self had her reasons; something must have happened to me in the past to the point that the hatred toward humans remained even though I don't have any memories.
[However, Morgana, as a gift from me, in case you change your mind, I allowed impregnation to happen using skills. I only blocked the natural way of you becoming pregnant.]
"I see," I nodded in understanding. "So I could use something like my 'Egg Transfer' skill with 'Seed and Egg Sack' to get myself pregnant with a human offspring."
[Anyway, the second thing that you must know about humans is that humans aren't native to my world.]
"What do you mean?"
[It happened when I was creating this world and its races. My former friend suggested that we transport some humans from her own worlds to mine. I saw no harm in doing that, so I agreed, but that was a mistake.]
"I don't like the sound of that." I got the chills down my spine.
[You see, the humans we transported to my world got the misunderstanding that we brought them here to save the world or something, so they declared a holy war on all the races.]
"Well... that's not good."
[The last time I checked on them was before I left my world. They had their own village with a religious tone to it, like churches that worshiped my former friend.]
"Oh... they created a zealot cult around her," I said. "I hope the rest of the races didn't go extinct, or my goal of breeding every race will fail."
YES! That's the most important thing to me—fucking every pussy and getting fucked by every dick. The more unique, the better.
[Anyway, that's all you need to know about humans. You can do whatever you want to them; they don't count toward my resurrection, so if you like, you can exterminate them all.]
"Wow... this shit turned dark fast!."
[Bye~ Morgi, Love you, I hope you're having a nice fuck, see you later.]
"..."
Sigh... Now I really want to meet this lovely entity and fuck her brains out.
