Chapter 3:

The sacred location

Pierro volume 6


CHYOU POV

I couldn't explain what happened to Yoo.Mr Mamoru was angry with himself for not being to protect Yui or find the source of her infection.This is what happened to my home country,people got infected or some people got lost to a mysterious fog and never came back.

I tried to complete the puzzle.There was a legend which said a beast hidden in the fog devoured people or even gave them a slow death by poisoning them.That beast was sealed away for many years.

I asked mr Mamoru to give me permission to go alone in a certain location.Mr Mamoru hesitated but he ageed.I went to the temple of the four beasts.The beast was sealed deep down in the ground.

I could sense negative energy.The same feeling.Until a guy with a mask appeared.

"You really are sharp."

"You released the beast,didn't you?"

"I guess I got caught."

Until that guy showed me his face.

"Commander Min from Chen clan!"

Commander Min was famous and the strongest in our country's army."The beast appeared.It was a giant serpent.

"I present you Sheguai.I studied the ancient arts and finally I was able to release it.Now I can start by killing the emperor.My only purpose in life was to serve him.But this will change.Now that you know my little secret,I should kill you."

I had to be careful.Even with a little scratch I could get poisoned.I used my physical skills.Of course they were nothing.

"Why you killed those people?"

"Some of them were eaten since he was hungry.Some others were killed because they were with emperor's side.And your friends were his food but escaped.People I consider threats I order him to poison them."

I tried to attack but Sheguai caught and wrapped around me.I felt my bones were cracking.He was just toying with me.I couldn't move.Then Sheguai just threw me to the ground.Min came to me and stabbed my hands with stake.

He grabbed me by my hair and tossed me away.
