《Strongest Protagonist's Aura》Vol2 Chapter 8 - Thing of the Past
Advertisement
I instantly activated {Ghost Emperor's Voyage} and void form, phasing out to avoid the arrows. I hurriedly backed away from my current location, to where the Fatty was standing with a gaping mouth, before void form ended. Then, I watched the arrows rain down for more than thirty seconds while landing and bouncing around on the ground as they could not pierce through the metallic ground.
When I finally had a chance for a breather, I finally felt pain from the arrow that pierced me. Even though I had {Indestructible Body}, it still pierced through me, yet it didn't pierce through the floor. Although I was surprised, I had no time to worry about that as I needed to get the arrow out fast. It was a bit difficult to pull it out by myself, unlike how those heroes do it in movies. Especially since I only had one arm that pretty much went numb due to pain from the arrow, I couldn't really pull it out myself. Hence, I could only look to the Fatty for help.
"Errr ... Fatty, do you mind helping a bit over here?" I asked the Fatty while directing my eyesight at the arrow.
"Hahaha! Why should I help you? This is what is known as retribution! You deserve it for daring to take this young master's treasures! Now return my stuff before this young master truly gets mad. At that point, I'll ... you'll see what's coming when it comes!" the Fatty retorted brightly with a cheeky grin that caused his face to jiggle.
The fata**'s ugly face made me want to cave it in. The pain from the arrow didn't help either as it simply enhanced my anger because my mind can't help but declare that all of this was this Fatty's fault. So, I pulled out my sword in my numb hand, but when I stepped forward with a contorted face of anger, the Fatty instantly dashed backwards, all the way into the pile of arrows.

"T-that, d-don't think I'm afraid of you! Real men don't resort to violence! W-we can talk it out! I-I saved your life, so you shouldn't be this ungrateful right?!" the Fatty hollered while glancing at my sword.
My head cleared a bit with his declaration, so I could only put away my sword with a huff. Now, I had to think about how to pull this arrow out. Although arrows are powerful, they are a weapon of the past that shouldn't stop this modern protagonist from pulling it out; however, before I could even start to think of ideas, the arrow began to glow a whitish color and I could feel a searing hot pain in my flesh. Oi. That doesn't follow the script of how an arrow works! Then, before I could react-
*BOOM*
I was knocked to the ground as the arrow exploded. I felt searing pain as a part of my flesh was burnt thoroughly. Fortunately, the explosion wasn't big enough to damage my organs as my {Invincible Body} blocked out some damage. Also, my regeneration slowly recovered the injury. Another plus was that I don't have to think about how to get the arrow out.
I slowly sat up to a sight of a frozen Fatty in the midst of piles of glowing arrow. Although one arrow's explosion might not be a lot, but I can't have any guarantees for piles of them. It's like if you stack enough TNT in Minecraft, the resulting damage would be crazy.
(A/N: I don't own Minecraft or any related content!)
So, I could only wake up the idiotic Fatty with a yell, "RUN!"
With the Fatty's speed, there should be no danger of him dying from this. I watched as the Fatty zoomed away as the explosion was set off. Although the explosion didn't reach far, but a cloud of black soot quickly dashed out, blinding me from seeing for a bit. Then, I heard some vacuum like noise before the soot gradually vanished, leaving a bit of residues on the ground.

When I reopened my eyes, I sighed in relief when I noticed that I was fine, albeit covered in black soot. I looked over to the side where a large lump of black meat stood. Yup, the Fatty's okay.
"Ahahaha! Trying to assassinate this young master?! In your dreams! This young master's a trap master, dodging traps is this young master's forte!" the Fatty boasted cheerfully while dancing in joy as if he's the main character of this world.
"Oi, Fatty, quit being shameless. Be happy that you even actually got out unscathed because you can't always rely on your speed to get out unsc-" I retorted in attempt to shut up the Fatty's annoying voice, but my speech froze when the Fatty showed me his backside when he was dancing.
There, I noticed that there was a yellowish flame slowly burning on his buttocks, and it was actually spreading pretty quickly. I guess he didn't escape unscathed. Although I wanted to laugh, I knew I had to warn him sooner or later, but before I could, the Fatty suddenly froze in the middle of his dance.
"Hmm? Why does my butt feel so hot? Are there ladies admiring it right now?" the Fatty said as he tried to strain his neck to see his butt, but failed to do so.
Hence, he reached his hands over, and lord n' behold, his hands got burned.
"AHhhhh! I'm on fire!" the Fatty howled while I broke out into laughter, but I couldn't laugh for long as I watched the Fatty dashed away down the tunnel.
"Hold on! Don't reckless run or you'll set off traps-" I tried to remind the idiotic Fatty, but I was too late.
I heard a large clunk which caused me to freeze in place. I hurriedly looked around, preparing myself to dodge whatever that is to come. I slowly looked around as I heard the Fatty's howl fade into the distance. However, even after a minute, there was nothing.
I slowly relaxed myself as I believed it to be a false alarm. Maybe some traps are faulty after many years of rusting. After all, traps are a thing of the past aren't they? I looked back in the direction that the Fatty ran and noticed that he was already long gone, leaving only darkness. I sighed, and decided to just chill while slowly catching up to him.
However, not long after walking in his direction, I could hear the Fatty's howl once more, this time even more pitiful. I squinted to try to see in the darkness as I saw a bulky silhouette dashing back in my direction. Huh? The Fatty's back?
Then, I heard clunking noises from the same direction, as if some heavy object was knocking against metal. I had an ominous feeling.
The Fatty quickly came into view as he howled in fear, but I had no time to pay attention to him as I was shocked by the object that followed him.
There was an enormous, black, metallic ball rolling behind the Fatty. It took up nearly the entire tunnel size, leaving no space to sneak pass or dodge it. It was rolling at an insane speed, but it seems that its size proved as an obstacle as it kept crashing into the walls, slowing it down. The queer thing was that the tunnel's ground was flat, so I had no clue how that ball is rolling; however, I did not have to worry about that because there is one thought in my mind, and that was to run!

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.

THE WHISPERS IN THIS DARK, CRUEL, AND GHOSTLY WORLD
(Vampires & Humans Vs. Werewolves & Ghosts???)It is the year 2201, and the human race is at war with not only the next evolution of the human race, werewolves, but also against Nature itself. An Ancient race of underground dwellers called vampires live and tries to protect humanity by bringing the human population underground in their habitat. The humans and Vampires live in fear of the werewolves, but that is not all, If this was the worst of it all, then it would have been a rather nice end for a good bedtime story about humans and vampires leaving in harmony underground, but this was not the end and neither is this a bedtime story. Nature (planet) still had big plans for the world, even with the creation of its henchmen, the werewolves (who have no control over themselves at all, merely acting based solely on their biological instincts), that was still not enough for nature. Nature still needed one last thing, something that could give those werewolves orders, tell them what to do, guide them, something that would be a personification of nature itself, something that would be nature's full power, with its wisdom and knowledge, something that would be its symbol. Ghosts.
