Chapter 275 Escape & Everything I Had [1]

"I'm so glad you're fine. No, that shouldn't be it. Why are you here in the first place? This is dangerous, you could've lost your life," mother said after releasing me from her hug. "And where is your sister?"

"So many questions at once, that's no unlike but. Anyway, I am here because I want to get the two of you out of here safely. Yes, I know I can lose my life in this but the goes for father and mother as well," I said. "Regarding Anya, by now she should be already in a safe place out of danger."

"You left your sister alone, that's not a very good thing to do," Ron added from the side.

"I left her because I know will be safe, and that she is with people who can protect her far better than I could," I replied.

"Oh? I see that's the case, huh? I'd want to talk to you about him later," he mumbled.

'So now he's assuming that the "people" I'm referring to is a "he". Well, nothing out of ordinary I guess.'

"Saving you two is my up most priority right now, and even you yourself can't stop me from doing that," I said, with quite a determination in my voice. Though I knew it came off pretty bad; adding emotions in my voice was so much of a bother and I never really did that. Therefore I was unexperienced.

"Sigh. You are my son, alight," father said as he stretched his body. "Fine, we'll go with you."

"But dear, how can we—"

"We've already seen that he can beat these monsters, haven't we? And he is our son, I think we should trust him with this," father said, interrupting her in the middle.

She looked down, but eventually seemed to have come to an agreement. Even I have to realize that so I'm sure she must know that arguing with father wasn't much of a use. He was going to do whatever he says once he has set his mind on it. There was no convincing him.

"Fine," she said at last.

"Okay! We're getting out of here!" father said in a cheerful tone with a smile on his face.

Thus it was decided. I first used elemental magic and with the help of the fire element I melted the frost that had been starting to grow on the skins of my hands.  It was a result of the overuse of ice magic.

I did the same with my legs and my whole body too, since I was going to use a lot of more ice magic. Once I was done, I prepared to take my parents out of the city; I had already tracked the shortest path out of the city while coming here so it was not a problem.

"Let's go," I said and created a slope of ice that led straight down to the ground.

I intended to take them back to the academy and then use the teleportaion circle—which the students used—and transport them to the safe place that had been built for this situation.

Also, I was not going to use the ice bride and take them back through air like I came here. The reasons for that were pretty clear. I had only been able to pull off that stun because of my C rank agility, and because I was alone.

For carrying three people I'll have to create a longer and wider bridge and of course, movement speed will be much slower. Thus the chances of a demon beast jumping right on top of them and the possibility of the bridge itself falling apart will be high, very high in fact.

Therefore I was going to take them back through the land. I knew the risks will not be lower here either, as we'll have to go through the demon beasts. But that I could handle. All I had to do was protect them and not let a single beast get near them.

I had to kill them all, that's it.

There was no second guessing it. We all get down from the slope I'd created and stepped out of our property and onto the streets.

"This way," I said and guided them toward the path I'd decided on.

I made sure to walk close to them, and told them to walk close to each other. I didn't want to be careless, after all.

We walked onto an empty street, then took a few turns. I had been trying to avoid it for as long as I could, but eventually we came on one of the main roads.

These were the places where the density of demon beasts were the highest along with the rush of people who were trying to save their own live someow, and I had to cross two before leaving the city—and this was the shortest and safest route I could manage to locate.

As we traveled on the roads, running but making sure to not let out guard down. The horrific scene of death was revealed. There were dead bodies lying around in compete open, some of them were intact and still in one piece while some were beyond recognition.

Mother wasn't able to bear the view and leaned close to father, he also quenched his eyes and avoided to look at the corpses directly.

I didn't really want them to see and notice this, but I wasn't disturbed by the scene around us. In fact, I was looking at severed heads lying on the roads without hesitation.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

And no matter what one would say, this was important too. I just couldn't close or turn away my eyes when there were beasts wandering around in the city and could attack us from anywhere at any time.

Unfortunately, my horrors came true. Soon we were out of the empty part of the city and now the roads were filled—both with people and hundreds of demon beasts.

It didn't took much time for them to notice us, and two of them ran toward me at the same time.

I came to a halt and gestured my parents to stop behind me.

"Please stand behind me and close to each other. I wouldn't want you to be attacked while I'm occupied," I said.

They were adults, of course, and there was no need for me to inform them of that. They stood close to each other, and once I'd taken note of their location I turned my attention toward the beasts and slid out the Requiem sword from its sheath.
