Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos-Chapter 150 - 149: Shocking Discovery Inside the Village

The communication rune beeped, connecting with the association. A female voice came through, asking for the caller to provide information. However, the boy couldn't even bring himself to utter a word. His lips trembled, not a single sound escaping.

His trembling hands went up over the rune, operating it once more to cut the call, turning on a button that blinked red. It was a button that sent a signal for help, and with the rune, it was possible to track the Humanity Savior's location.

The boy's hands fell limp by his sides, his breath shallow as they heaved his chest up and down—silently waiting for the association to arrive.

Inside the village, Kaeliyus raised the barrier, encasing the entire settlement in a vast, translucent sphere tinged with a soft blue hue, stretching seamlessly from one boundary to the other.

The villagers all bowed in gratitude toward Kaeliyus. "Thank you, Sir…" they paused, unaware what to call Kaeliyus as neither Seiya nor Kaeliyus had introduced themselves.

For Seiya, his name mattered little, for they had embraced him without question as their new Lord.

With a faint smile gracing his lips, Kaeliyus answered. "Kaeliyus. I am Kaeliyus. The humble servant of my young Lord," he announced with pride.

"Then, Sir Kaeliyus, thank you for the great help you've offered us," they said in one voice.

"It is all according to the wishes of my Lord. So, you need not thank me." Kaeliyus turned to Seiya, bowing as he extended his hand.

"Then my Lord, if you'd let this servant of yours have the honor of holding your hand once more."

Without a word, Seiya extended his hand, and Kaeliyus gently grasped it. To the villagers, he said, "then please, do well to maintain this life because it's been returned to you all by no one other than my Lord."

With that, Kaeliyus vanished along with Seiya in a flash. The villagers took deep breaths of relief, some slumping to the ground, while some stood—letting the melancholy wash over them in the cold breeze.

Knowing they had so much to do to get the village back and lively, they resolved not to dwell too much in the past. Those burdened with sorrow hurried first to the shrine to mourn their fallen sons, while the rest began tending to the village.

"The demons shall be burned. For the others, we offer a proper burial," an elder declared, and none voiced dissent.

Seiya and Kaeliyus reappeared in their house, in the living room. As Seiya legs buckled, threatening to fall, Kaeliyus head onto him, firm but gentle.

"My Lord, you've gone through a lot today. I'll prepare a hot bath immediately and clean you up."

"Mn."

Kaeliyus led Seiya to the couch for a seat but he instead, sat on the bare floor as his entire body was covered in blood and dirt. Kaeliyus then laid Ibyu gently on the couch, rushing to the room and returning with a small piece of clothing with which he covered Ibyu before rushing to prepare Seiya's bath.

Back at the village, precisely, outside the village, the young boy still remained with his dead companion, his state not any better.

A moment later, a black mini van pulled up, and three boys appearing to be in their early 20s, alighted. Two among them had black hair while the other who alighted from the backseat, had gray hair. They were clad in casual clothings.

As the one who had driven the van slammed shut his door, he spoke. "If it isn't the village we're all finding a solution for day and nigh—" his words caught in his throat the moment he met the sight before him.

The other one who had seated in the front passenger seat had already been frozen in place as he was the first to have seen it.

The third, however, remained oblivious. He moved sluggishly, like one roused from deep slumber. As he shut the car door with a heavy thud, a wide yawn escaped him, the sound lingering in the air. His eyes watered, blinking rapidly as he gazed at his subordinates, puzzled by their rigid stillness.

He stepped forward, stopping just beside one of his companions, the one who had driven the van. As he peered ahead, meeting the gruesome sight that laid ahead, he rubbed his eyes.

"Am I still seeing things despite being awake or is that really a severed head I see over there?" He asked, wiping his eyes to see clearer. "And no one else's head but Iena's?"

"Jerk! You aren't seeing things if we're all seeing the same thing," his companion beside him, replied—gaze fixed ahead.

"Damn! She was really meeting her end out here while I was having the best sleep of my life?!" He quipped, his voice laced with playful amusement.

"And is that the village I see up ahead?" He added, peering farther. "Why can we actually see inside it? Where's the barrier? Am I perhaps sick in the eyes?"

"Me and you both," his companion chimed. "Probably," he added with a swift tilt of his head toward him.

"I bet a week's sleep that we were called here because of the strange changings with the village," the gray haired one said.

"And I bet a month's salary that we were called to transport her corpse," the other replied, referring to their dead fellow HS.

As the two exchanged playful remarks while observing the village's changes, the boy on the other side of the car—the first to witness the sight of his fallen fellow HS—broke free from his stunned stillness and rushed forward.

He dropped to a squat before them, his eyes darting frantically between the boy and the lifeless body of the female HS, flickering back and forth in disbelief.

"What happened here? How did this happen?" He asked, voice heavy with confusion and concern.

"As soon as we were summoned and asked to come here after receiving your signal, we hurried over. Though we hadn't received any signal of a gate opening, we had doubts," he said. "Did a gate really open?"

The boy to whom he posed all the questions said not a single word back in response, seemingly in a traumatized state. His chest only heaved up and down, body quivering with gaze stuck wide.

"Hey Beni! I'm talking to you, get a hold of yourself and explain the situation," he shook the boy with a firm grip around his arms. "What happened to Iena?"

The other two boys stepped forward, going past their companion to approach closer to the village.

"The villagers seem lively," the gray-haired boy remarked. "They're bustling about, busy with things. I can't see clearly since it's not dawn yet, but what happened? Is the barrier gone? Did the demons finally choose to free the villagers?" he asked.

"I'm not sure if it's the same but there's still a barrier—one we can't cross," his companion replied. He turned back to his other companion who was focused with their fellow HS and the deceased comrade. "Oi Yenni, set aside THAT for a minute and come use your ability to peer into the village."

Though worry gnawed at Yenni for his comrades, duty came first. Resolute, he rose and approached his two companions.

Pressing his fingers together, he lifted his palm to his face, positioning it vertically to cover one eye. With the other, he invoked his ability and peered into the village.

As his sight swept across the scene, Yenni's expression darkened, dread and horror creeping over him with every passing moment.
