Thirty minutes before Yana entered the fort. Ragha climbed down the stairs till he found another small corridor. Another smell of blood could be smelled, and he frowned his eyebrows.

"i don't understand.... how can human do such a thing.."

He moved closer at the entrance and saw another terrible scene. Several men surrounded one female elf and gave her some potions. Clearly, that's not a healing potion.

"kkk..uughh.. -cough-"

"hey! don't spill it!"

-plaak-

He slapped that poor elf while the others only looked and scratched their head.

"remind me again. What are we doing here?"

"seriously? we are already doing this for one week now"

"well.. my brain can't catch up with difficult alchemist stuff"

"it's not even that difficult... -sigh- whatever. We try to make them pregnant with this kind of fertilizer potion"

"err... would that be easy? we "use" them like.. all the time"

"idiot, only doing sex with them is not enough. That's why we are doing this"

"heee.. whatever. Should i bring another one?"

"yeah, this one already pass out. Those freak from alchemy division want us to do this to these elves, as much as we can"

"roger that"

He turned around and headed to a cell when he realized Ragha's presence in the entrance.

"what the... oi! there's a monster here.. i think?"

"what kind of rubbish that you're..." He turned around

Ragha moved forward and showed his claws. They became alerted and drew their sword.

"it's really a monster!! what's happened with our men up there?!"

"ready your sword human... you must pay with what you're doing to those elves.."

"wow, a monster defend another monster. Ahaha, ain't that surprising?!"

"careful.. he's different than these elves"

"relax, there are six of us here, and he's only alone"

[ZONE I]

"well, i don't want to die yet"

"men! prepare to fight!"

[EMPOWERED]

[TITAN ARM I]

After used their skill, they rushed into their enemy. One at the front was focused to read his enemy movement while the other tried to find a chance to attack.

"he still not move..."

Ragha just stood there and stared at them.

"i really don't understand...."

"huh? what the?"

-zraaash-

Ragha lifted one of his finger and his enemy fell to the floor just like that. In a split second, Ragha tore his neck with his claw.

"no way... even zone can't detect his move?"

"nah, it's simply because our reflexe is not fast enough"

"then how we will fight this monster..."

"..just let me think.."

Ragha walked towards them as if he didn't have any enemies in front of him.

"i really...don't understand.."

"why's he mumbling..."

"idiot! focus! he comes"

"like i let this monster kill me that easily!!"

-zrrub-

A very fast strike aimed at Ragha's head, yet he could dodge that easily. Just when the other soldier wanted to cover his friend, Ragha already lifted his finger...

-zraaash-

One nice cut to his neck. It didn't need long time before the other soldier met with the same fate.

-brugh-

Only three of them remained in there. They just couldn't believe their eyes for what's just happened now.

"oi oi! this monster killed them so easy.. should we called reinforcement?"

"how? every soldiers up there most likely is killed by this monster"

"... holy mother.. please give us your mercy"

Ragha stopped and stared at them. His expression showed how he's feeling right now.

"hey human... tell me.."

"wh...what?! what do you want to know?!"

"don't respond to it! let we just kill it!"

"shut up! maybe we can find some opportunities when he is off guard"

".....tell me"

Ragha took one step closer.

"why you're killing other races?... when you are this weak?"

"we..well.."

"the hell?! let you just a moment and you are saying whatever you like huh monster?!" the other soldier was angry

"just kill him, we waste our time here"

"agreed"

Only one of the soldier that was hesitated and took a step back.

"hyaa!!"

both of them dashed foward and gave their best.

-zraaash-

Fresh blood splattered on the floor. Of course, it's not Ragha's blood. Those two soldiers lay on the floor without showing any movement.

-glup-

Ragha approached the last soldier in front of him. His enemy already lost his fighting spirit.

"why?"

"it's... it's because we want to protect human kind!"

-zraaash-

"aaarggh"

Ragha slashed his enemy left shoulder. The soldier fell to the floor caused by the pain on his shoulder.

"I'm asking you.... why are you lying to me?"

"-kkgghh- it's... it's because we are ordered by our commander!! i swear!!"

-zraaash-

"aaaaarggggh!!!! my eyes!!!"

He curled up and held his eyes. Ragha grabbed him and pulled him up.

"why are you lying again? i really don't understand..."

"-kkgghh- haaargh!! you lowly monster!! how dare you do this to me!! WHY YOU ASK?! OF COURSE BECAUSE WE ARE THE HUMAN THAT IS BLESSED BY HOLY MOTHER HERSELF!! FILTHY CREATURE LIKE YOU AND THE OTHER ARE NOT WORTHY TO LIVE IN THIS LAND!! KILLING ALL OF YOU IS THE MERCY FROM OUR HOLY MO..!!"

-zrrub-

"kaaghh...."

-brugh-

He died. Ragha stabbed his heart with his claws. After he cleaned the blood at his claws, he ducked and looked at the soldier corpse.

"filthy? not worthy? our beast god ROGNIR never teach us to consider such a thing to another living being... such an arrogant god that holy mother of yours..."

Something arose inside of him. His perception about the world started to take a shape, slowly.... slowly....
