Chapter 5 Nonexistent

"Let go of her." Hina voiced out, she grabbed Sato's hands and pulled them away from Akari's arms.

"I'm sorry." Sato uttered with a sad expression on his face before moving away from them.

He looked to the ground as he struggled to make sense of what he heard, 'Hey, voice what's going on?' He asked.

<Notice, During Reincarnation, host's origin was not recorded in the world>

'What the hell do you mean by that? If I'm not human then what am I then?'

<Unknown…>

'What the hell!'

Benihime suddenly stomped the ground with her foot to silence the murmuring that was going on in the room.

They all kept quiet instantly before changing their focus to Benihime who still had a calm expression on her face.

"Lady Hime.. this is strange I've never heard of something like this happening before, we shouldn't take it so lightly." Akari uttered before walking toward Benihime, "He's nonexistent… that shouldn't be possible!".

Benihime stared at Sato for a while before sighing, she twitched her eye brown as she also tried compose herself, "Hey boy!" She called out.

Sato slowly turned to look at Benihime, his expression was weak, he didn't even try to add any life to the way turned.

He was finally accepting the fact that he died and now he has been reincarnated as another thing, but this thing is exactly what he wants to find out.

"How did you arrive here?" Benihime asked.

"I said it before, I don't remember." Sato answered.

Benihime paused for a while, "Isla I want you to guard him of the village and he is never to be seen around here again,".

"Lady Hime, what do you-"

Isla tried to convince her but Benihime wasn't looking to reason, "Don't try to change my mind Isla, escort him out of here and return immediately." Benihime uttered before grabbing her sword from the ground and walking away.

Leaving Isla and the rest wondering what was going on. Once Benihime had gone the remaining warriors began walking toward Sato.

"Better start talking, what the hell are you?" One of the women said, drawing her sword and aiming it at Sato

She wore a black outfit and had multi-colored hair mixed with black and a hint of white.

Sato looked at the sword with a raging eye before glaring at the woman, he was about to release his magic when Isla suddenly interfered.

"Ladies back off." Isla ordered, walking in the middle of Sato and the woman, "Put down your sword".

"Lady Isla, the same thing must not happen again, we better kill him here before he becomes a threat".

"Put down... your sword." Isla repeated work her body oozing with light energy and her sword liting the place.

They all started moving away from her and sheeting their sword before looking away in embarrassment.

Right after Benihime, she was considered the second most powerful, hence her status as the second in command.

"Come on." Isla muttered to Sato before walking out the door.

. . . . . . . .

Rizaha, also known as the home of the Valkyries, is a small village located in Orion which is in the Demon nation.

The natin had many other Kingdoms and towns, Rizaha was located in one of the Kingdom (Orion) next to the Dragon rocks.

There are multiple different species located in the Demon nation, from demi humans to fairies and the likes.

But Rizaha was considered an independent village, it was located somewhere in the forest of witches close to the Dragon rocks.

As the name suggested, the forest was home to witches, words had it that the whole forest was filled with magic which was meant to seal a certain celestial being in the forest.

And as luck would have it, Sato managed to land in the forest of witches. Isla directed him away from the village until she made up her mind that it was far enough.

"This is as far as I can take you." Isla voiced out, she held her sword in her hand while keeping a calm expression.

Sato didn't bother looking at her face, throughout the entire time, his face had been focused in front of him and he didn't look back once.

"Thank you".

Sato muttered, he began walking forward leaving Isla standing with her hand on her hips.

'Hey, voice, how do I make my way around here?' Sato asked.

<Question confirmed, there is a nearby city outside the forest, it's called Namruk, the population is high and filled supernatural species>

"I see." Sato muttered, from behind him came footsteps, he turned to check and saw Isla walking past him.

She was walking so fast, for a second there he thought she was someone else.

"What are you doing here?" Sato asked.

Isla stopped walking and turned to aim her sword at Sato, "Listen! You said you don't remember anything right? Which means finding your way around will be tough, monsters are lurking in every corner." She voiced out.

"Even if you are shady, I feel helping you is the right thing to do, so shut up and follow me," She said before pushing her sword down.

"You're helping me?"

"Yeah, I am, got a problem with that?"

"No, whatever you say, I'm cool with it".

Isla sighed, "Better, then let's go".

"Sure…"

She kept escorting him to the path that lead out of the forest, and throughout their walks, neither of them said anything to the other.

'Hey, voice? Do you know where she's taking me?' Sato asked.

<Question confirmed, She took a left route, patterns indicate you are currently on the path to the Kingdom of Kilons>

'I see, that should be a perfect place to practice some of the skills you've been mentioning,'.

<Affirmative>

'I should give you a name,' Shiro uttered, using his hand to move the leaf away from his face as he entered another path.

<....>

"How about… Oh, I know Helix?" Sato smiled.

<Does host want me to save the name Helix as my name?>

'Yeah'.

<Name saved, Artificial core now named Helix>

<Notice, The skill Record has been obtained>

"The hell? I got a new skill again!" Sato thought out loud.

"What are you saying?" Isla asked, looking back at him with a questionable face.

"Nothing… please carry on".

"Weirdo.. anyway." Isla emitted before giving Sato a disgusted look.

"We're here." Isla said, charging her focus away from Sato and to the leaf covering their path.

<Notice, I detect multiple live forms moving in at an alarming rate>.

Isla was about to open the leaf when Sato suddenly yelled before dashing toward her.

"Wait! Step back!"

Sato yelled, he pulled Isla back with her cloth while moving his own body forward.

Elves dashed through the leaves and fired a long arrow at Sato.

As soon as his feet touched the ground Sato held the arrow before it could damage his face.

Isla was shocked, she immediately pulled out her sword and took a defensive stance, "Elves? What are elves doing here?" She questioned.

Multiple elves surrounded the entrance, each of them holding a bow and arrow that was aimed at Sato.

"Well well well, I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not… the Valkyries, fallen warriors." A dark elf wearing brown trousers with no top came out of the leaves.

He had a sinister smile on his face as he stared at Isla, "What are you doing so far in here?".

Sato threw the arrow on the ground, "Are you guys by chance… elf?" He asked, keeping his facial expression completely stern.

"Dark elf! Are you blind?" The dark elf shouted.

"My name is Orlon Bewask, and my friend, you just stepped into the wrong territory and I'm afraid that can't be overlooked" Orlon smiled before pulling a knife.

Isla rested her back on Sato's, "Listen to me.. when I give the signal I want you to run." She whispered.

"You want to run?" Sato asked, "Aren't you supposed to be some kind of warrior?".

"Just shut up and do as I say".

"Sure… your move".
