Qin kingdom is located in the eastern portion of the continent, unfortunately, they were one of the few kingdoms that were first destroyed during the breakout.
Now I am the soldier who first discovered the extreme abundance of demons at the northern river marsh.
This marsh had many species of magical beast and for an unknown reason, all of them became a demonic beast. It was a mysterious phenomenon that left the current researcher puzzled. Just what happened in the eastern part of the continent that turns all the magical beasts into demons. That up until now remains a mystery.
[Run!]
"I am already running!"
Why am I so slow?
[Could it be that you also possess the skills of the historical figure Yuan not just his appearance?]
"That's possible"
While I said that I made a sudden jump dodging a crocodile's bite.
"I need to get used to this body"
I made a side step and yet again dodged another bite.
[You are doing great despite not being used to this body]
"Thanks"
I kept running towards the place where the soldier Yuan ran when he first made his discovery.
"There is it! The watch tower!"
Qin kingdom had walls that served as the shield against demonic and magical beasts and at the corner of those walls were the watch towers.
Seeing those towers I immediately ran towards them while dodging and kicking the demonic crocodiles that relentlessly chased me.
[Creator Yuan has superb endurance and stamina!]
"Yeah, but he is so damn slow!"
I made another jump while three crocodiles bit the air as I lifted off.
...
"Hey is that your brother?"
A soldier asks seeing a familiar figure in his spyglass.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah here look through it"
The other soldier took the spyglass and immediately recognized the person who desperately ran for his life.
"It's Yuan.."
Then the spyglass moves and zooms into the group of demonic beasts chasing his brother.
"Those are!"
He panicked and moved his body towards the edge of the observation deck.
"Jun what are gonna do?"
His friend asked not liking his position.
"Wei you call reinforcement it seems we need to defend the wall again" After saying those words he jumped causing his friend to almost have a heart attack.
Opposite to Wei's reaction Jun fearlessly glided to the air before landing perfectly on the ground.
"Yuan!"
He shouted gaining his brother's response. However, as he gazed at him he could tell that somehow he was different.
"Did my eyes play with me"
He said a bit confused about the situation but despite his confusion, he rushed to aid his brother.
....
Apollo's Pov.
"Who is that?"
[He seems to know you, Creator]
"Yuan!"
[See he knows you!]
I couldn't help but shake my head but since I didn't have any other option I ran towards him.
"Help me!" I even added.
A man clad in the same outfit as me rushes to my side before lifting me.
[!?]
"What?"
[It seems she won't believe you, Creator]
"Well that would make my situation complicated"
I hope she believes me though the history books didn't say that he was first doubted.
"Where?"
She suddenly spoke making me look straight into her eyes.
"Right in the bottom of the marsh, I saw all the magical beasts turning into demons"
"Was the corruption fast?"
"It was different in other species some were slower while the others were faster"
"Then I suppose those saltwater iron crocodiles are corrupted fast"
All I could do was nod, why? I already said some lines from the books I don't know what else should I say. And I can't just give more since I would look suspicious.
"Jun"
"Yes mam"
"Go and inform the king we must report this"
"Yes, mam!"
"And you come with me and show me where exactly you saw the corruption"
I couldn't help but gulp does she want me to return there?
I hope not since my stats are not good enough to survive there.
Fortunately, she showed me a map instead.
"Where and how big was the radius of the corruption"
I did whatever she asked until the planning for evacuation started and finished. Some soldiers were meant to remain to buy time while the others joined the people providing protection along the way.
"Yuan!"
I heard Jun's calling so I reluctantly went to him.
"Don't go too far where I can't see you, stay where I can immediately find you okay?"
"Yes"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes I am"
I could see him looking frustrated probably with my behaviour change but there is no way I can act around with him. I don't even know how to show sibling love.
"Held on to me"
He said while pulling my arm to hold onto his sleeve.
Seriously both of us are members of the military but I am being treated like a kid. And why the hell do they keep looking at me as if this is a normal occurrence?
[He is treating you way kinder than I expected, how should I say this? He is very gentle. Like a calm breeze]
"Yes you are right, a calm and gentle breeze"
We walked for a couple of days until the demons caught up to us. That is when the tragedy started, one by one the soldiers and people started dying and sacrificing each other, and that includes him as well.
"Argh!"
"Jun!"
"That should be big brother you know!"
My body suddenly trembles while trying to med his lacerated arm. It was roughly removed when he saved me from an iron crocodile's death roll.
"Argh!"
"Hurry Yuan! We can't stay here!"
I heard Wei's voice forcing me to lift my brother on the back before running to join the others.
"This is funny"
"Don't speak you are wounded"
"You know I used to give piggyback rides on you when we were little, but now look at you, our position has been reversed"
I could feel his breath getting weaker making my legs move a lot faster.
"Help!" I started to shout, I started to beg because I could feel his life was about to end.
"Hey, can somebody please help me!" I beg even more lifting my legs to move even faster.
At that moment I forgot about the exam and only focused on saving the little spark of life he had left.
