Chapter 85 Other humans

Alex continued forth. His recent chat with that pale skinned boy had been quite fruitful. It supplied him with huge confidence to continue on his journey.

While walking the whole journey, Alex also made a mental note of his surroundings.

One good thing was that past a certain point, there was actually a faint light source lighting up the surroundings of the cave!

All over the ceiling and walls of the cave there was a strange orange glowing moss, faintly showering the cave in an orange hue.

So far he had spent 4 hours walking in the direction he had deduced the village to be in. He had started to doubt his judgement after spending so long with nothing to show for himself, but the moment he spotted the blue orange moss lighting up the cave, he decided to continue in this direction regardless of if he found the village or not.

But the fact there was light meant that it was more likely to be in this direction.

Assuming the people living down here were normal humans, they'd prefer to live near a light source over living in total darkness like that kid.

He didn't know what was up with that kid living in such a remote place, all alone with no adult in sight, but he didn't press too much on the issue.

Everyone had their own uniqueness to them, he wasn't going to judge some random kid.

Besides, he had more important things to tend to.

Like finding a way out of this place.

And making his way to the village was his best bet.

'What's that?'

As he was walking, Alex felt a sudden influx of energy in the atmosphere surrounding him.

'Finally some more traces of life!' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Alex sensed the battle a few dozen kilometres ahead of himself and picked up his pace.

But as they ran, the two of them tripped on something and fell down — despair taking over their faces.

The remaining man showed a look of reluctance and internal strife as he glanced at the two female archers' plight, and the escape route in the opposite direction.

Eventually, he couldn't take the guilt and turned around, displaying chivalrous bravery and stepping in front of the two women with a firm resolve. He shouted some incomprehensible words before lifting his sword, ready to receive the incoming boar.

Thud!

Thud!

The boar inched closer and closer, and the three awakened could clearly see the blood red eyes staring them down with a manic look.

Of course, they knew the man wouldn't be able to defend against the boar's attacks.

'Impressive, but the level difference meant you were destined to lose this fight from the beginning.'

Alex was watching from the side lines the whole time.

The moment he saw the boar ready to charge towards the three awakened in the final showdown between the two parties, he decided to intervene.

At that moment, Alex suddenly made his appearance, with a simple fireball hovering above his hand and launching towards the stomach of the boar, exploding underneath it.

Boooom!

As if a small earthquake struck, the boar which had just started its charge, suddenly found itself launched high into the air while squealing, half of its lower body missing from the initial impact of the explosion.

But it was only a second before it fell back down again, hitting the ground.

Thud!

Now came the aftershocks of the earthquake, as the body of the boar came to a full stop when it slammed into the ground.

Alex dismissed the notification from the system and turned towards the three awakened, and their unconscious and injured friend.
