'Fuck.' Acht cursed as he put Sali down gently and unleashed him from the silk that was covering his body. That was when he saw what was wrong with him and why he was not breathing.

There were two big holes in his stomach the size of a fist. The two holes were purple in color exuding a weird miasma in the air.

He immediately knew that the snake bit him, deeply too.

'He ain't going to live for long. I need to extract the poison from him now.' He thought as he put his hand on his stomach, making sure to not touch the injury.

He knew how sensitive that part was and that any small touch could make him feel excruciating pain.

Then, he used gravity to start extracting poison from the hole. The process was very hard because unfortunately, the poison spread to his whole body. Acht needed to work on every cell of his body to disintegrate the poison and then get it out.

However, as he was working, a loud screech reached his ear and made his face turn extremely serious.

'Fuck, not now.' He thought as he looked behind him.

There, a giant snake was hissing angrily as it looked at him with its slitted eyes. Its long tongue moved ominously, dripping with lethal poison.

"How long has it been since you two got caught?" He asked Mia who was pale with fear and worry over her dad.

She didn't respond as she shook violently. He didn't blame her since this was way too much for a young girl like her.

So, he touched his cheek and smiled slightly to make her calm down.

"Don't worry, I got this. Your father is also going to be fine too. Just help a little bit and then we will get out of here, ok?" He said with a gentle tone.

Mia finally snapped from her state and nodded quietly. Then, she said with a meek voice.

"5 hours….I think it has been 5 hours."

"Hmm, I see. You must've been really scared. It's ok, just rest now. I will deal with everything else."

"Mm, thank you."

"Leave that for later. Hold your father tightly." He said and stood up.

The snake felt threatened by the boy's aura as he eyed it with a very cold gaze. He could kill this snake easily, however, protecting these two at the same time was a whole other matter.

This golden-scaled snake was an extremely smart beast. It could understand that attacking Mia and Sali instead would make it even harder for Acht.

So, without wasting time, he dashed toward the snake. The snake saw his silhouette blurred from one place to another.

It didn't wait either and moved toward him. The two approached each other at the same time but Acht was the first to attack. He jumped high in the air and aimed his punch toward the snake's skull.

*Bang*

He didn't wait for gravity to make him land on the snake and instead pushed himself down in the air, creating even more strength in his punch.

"SSSSSSSSS!!!" The snake hissed in pain as it hit the ground violently.

Acht used that moment and landed on its face. He looked at it straight in its emotionless eyes and smirked slightly.

*Poke* f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"SSSSSSSSS!!"

He poked its eye blowing it up like a balloon. Blood flooded the ground like a river and the snake started moving frantically as if it lost its mind.

Acht was thrown away but he reduced the impact and hit the wall with his legs before landing.

He then pulled Ooze out and created many sharp bullets.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

He shot 4 of them, poking 4 holes in the snake's body.

Blood exploded from every pore endlessly and made it lose its strength even faster than it was anticipated.

The snake finally fell down motionless. It had died just like that. Acht had basically one-sidedly massacred the snake. The animal couldn't even put up a fight.

'That was easier than I thought. Anyway, Sali is still in grave danger.' He thought.

He breathed out and immediately moved to the two people that were in the corner.

However, before he could even make one single step.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

********************************

Meanwhile, Leislet and Scarlett met in the middle of the forest.

"Did Acht send you anything?" Leislet asked with a worried tone.

"Nothing. He said that we shouldn't follow him but I am feeling worried. I tried to call him but he didn't answer." Scarlett said.

Leislet pondered over the matter for a moment before nodding her head and saying decisively.

"We will go there."

"What about what Acht said?"

"We already searched the whole forest but we didn't find anything so the only thing we can do now is to go there."

Scarlett nodded in agreement. She also didn't have a good feeling about the situation and so she wanted to go check herself.

The two then ran to the hole where the snake's den was located. It didn't take them long to reach there.

After that, they jumped inside without a single moment of hesitation. There was no time for hesitation.

"As I expected it's a very long tunnel. Search for Acht's aura." Scarlett said.

A moment later, they located him and sighed in relief. He was alive and was indeed inside the den.

With that in mind, they ran through the complex tunnels directly toward him. A few moments later, they reached the place where he should've been.

However, what they saw there made them stop in their place. The whole place was dyed in purple mixed with red.

The walls, the ceiling, the ground, and everything else. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m

"What…happened?" Leislet muttered as she shook her head and searched for Acht.

She saw the boy crouched near the end of the tunnel with his back facing them.

"Ach-"

She wanted to call for him but stopped when she sensed something weird.

Acht was basically covered from head to toe in the purple liquid, his clothes were shredded and many pointy scales punctured his body and spilled out his blood.

"Acht!!!" They both screamed in fright and approached him quickly.

When they were beside him, Acht finally stood up and breathed out a long sigh.

"You two came? Didn't I tell you not to?" He said with a calm voice.

When he turned around, they both gasped in shock. His whole face was covered in blood and poison. His eyes were also pure as they seemed to have been affected by the poison.

"What happened?!! Are you ok?!" Leislet tried to touch him but he shook his head.

"There is someone in a more dire situation than me at the moment. Take these two out. I had already extracted as much poison as I could."

He said as he tried to walk past them. However, the moment he took his second step, his body started falling down to the ground.

"Acht!!!" Scarlett screamed and tried to support him. But, he shook his head and balanced himself before he fell down.

"I am fine. That snake exploded for some reason after I killed it. I don't know why but all of the poison inside its body also splashed everywhere. I only had a split second to protect Mia and Sali. Now I was rendered to this state." He muttered.

He then looked back at the two women who were rendered speechless and smiled slightly as he wiped the blood and poison from his face casually.

"Unlucky I guess." He said.

Leislet couldn't know how to react. She had never thought Acht would actually do something like that.

It was shocking for her and also for Scarlett who knew Acht very well. He was never someone to protect other people with his own body. He was always someone who prioritized his own safety first and that was totally fine.

Acht was not a hero after all. He was just a selfish person like any other person out there.

He had his life and he cherished it, so why should he put it in danger for other people?

However, what he did now contradicted everything they knew about him. It almost made them question whether he was actually Acht or not.

'Did he change?' Leislet pondered to herself as she gazed deeply into his serene eyes.

"What are you two waiting for? We need to get out." He said.

"O-Ok." They both said at the same time and lifted the unconscious Sali and Mia.

"Tsk. This is kinda painful." Acht muttered as he pulled out one of the many scales that stuck to his body.

"We need to treat your wounds as fast as possible when we come back," Scarlett said.

"No, take care of these two first."

"Acht!!! Shut up. You will also get treated quickly. Look at yourself, you are in a very bad condition!" Leislet rebuked with a very angry tone.

Only she knew how much she was worried over Acht.
