WAR-Destiny Of Future 89 Chapter 84 - Blood And Disaster 2

Ai is still waiting for Sky outside the cave, her clothes are slightly torn and near her leg is a dead body of a beheaded minotaur. Worried of Sky, Ai decided to enter the cave despite of Sky's command.

Inside the cave, Sky is standing in the middle of a big pile of dead bodies of minotaurs, in front of him is another dead body that has its chest pierced through directly by Sky's right hand. There's blood smeared on his face, and his clothes, not sure if it's the minotaur's blood or his own blood, but his left arm is badly injured. His face expression is still as cold as how he was just now, except for the tiredness in his eyes.

"Sky - san, are you alright?" said Ai, concerned about Sky's injury.

"I'm alright... Eh? Ai, what are you doing in here?" said Sky who is a bit surprised to see Ai enter the cave, but then he noticed her clothes.

"Ah! What happened to you? Are you hurt?" said Sky, extremely worried about her.

"I'm okay, was a.s.saulted by some minotaurs just now." said Ai in a rather casual manner.

"What? Did they hurt you or do anything weird to you?"

"Uhm... No... Hmm?" Then she spots a survived minotaur slowly getting near to Sky, ready to a.s.sault him from behind, without any emotional changes she pulled out a dagger and pierced through its neck in a light speed, then she slashed through its neck, its head fall off as she retreated her weapon.

"Mmm... Nope, they haven't done anything to me yet." said Ai with the blood of minotaur splashed on her face. The Immortal looks at this girl in front of him and wonder if her pretty and delicate appearance is only for decoration. Then he saw a sparkle on the wall of the cave...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Sky and Ai are now back in Null Dimension, Ben's hospital. Ever since they were back from the mythical dimension, Sky just remained silent without saying a single word. His injuries are treated by Ben however it seems like his self healing mechanism isn't working well. Ai who is worried about him decided to ask Ben about the truth behind this minotaur thing.

"Well, how should I started it... Hey, Chris, some help here?" said Ben to Chris who is examining a unique looking gem.

"Oh... Okay... Many might not know about this, but Sky use to have a younger sister that he cared so much, he loved her more than his own life. But unfortunately she was targeted by minotaurs as a perfect medium for the breeding of young minotaurs." said Chris, still examining the crystal.

"Medium... for breeding?" Ai is confused or rather she had some clue about it but refused to accept it.

"What Chris said is that due to Minotaur's special trait, they needed a female from other races to help them reproduce the next generation." said Ben.

"Special trait?"

"Yes, you probably don't know, but Minotaurs are actually unis.e.xual, there aren't any female minotaurs for them to reproduce, or even there are some, it will be very rare and usually will be tormented to death due to the 'overloaded activities' from the male. This is why they will usually seek for suitable females from other races and impregnate them to reproduce. However, that wasn't the only problem, the biggest problem here is that, the fetuses feed on their host's body to grow and grow at a scary speed. Most of the time, the fetuses will end up killing their 'mother' inside out while feeding on their flesh." said Ben, and Ai is a bit shock and disgusted, she finally understands why Sky reacted that way when he found that she was a.s.saulted by the minotaurs just now.

"So, like what Ben said. I believe you probably had guessed what happened to his sister." said Chris while finally putting down the gem, Ai nodded.

"It was a really gruesome memory... She was missing for less than a week, and when we found her, she was half-eaten by three calves of minotaurs, in a semi rotten state. At that time, we are still too weak to fight against the Minotaurs, so we cannot do anything about it. And Sky had stayed silent like right now for a month." said Chris with a rather sad look.

"Ah... Can't we do anything about it?" Ai said.

"No... But there is something we need to do. I wonder why is this gem appear in the cave of Minotaurs? It's supposed to be only been found in the Holy Land of High Elf. Ben... Can you call Terrance? I have some quest for him." said Chris.

"Mmm... But before that, what should we do about these two." said Ben while pointing at the two boys, one with white hair and rebellious look and another with black hair, looks like a cute shota, mhm... It's the Ganbus.

"Ah... Hahaha. That's a good question." said Chris.
