Not a bad guy but not a good guy either. What does that even mean? Andrew was unable to understand what Sammy was saying. There was a look of confusion on his face.
Sammy looked at the confused Andrew and said," I know you are not getting it right now but I think you will be able to understand it in the near future."
Andrew still did not look that much convinced.
"You are the one who wanted to follow me. It's not like I forced you or something. Infact your grandmother was the one who forced me to bring you with me." Sammy said.
Andrew was silent.
Sammy sighed and said," Don't worry, I am not doing anything bad. I am doing what I have to do. You don't have to follow me. Infact you should not follow me. I might not be doing something bad but still what I am doing is dangerous and you are just a kid. Even I don't want to be held responsible for the death of an innocent kid." Just as Sammy finished his sentence a thought came into his mind.
When I first warned him about the danger, he said something about him being lucky. And come to think of it, there were some lucky things that happened to me ever since I met him. Could it be....
"Hey, what's your family name?" Sammy asked Andrew.
"Huh? My family name? It's Howler. I am Andrew Howler."
God damn it! Howlers really do exist. I thought they were just a mysth. This explains why Simon did not dismantle the village earlier. And also why we met Louisa. All of it would be very useful to us if I hadn't gained my memories. It was like an insurance. If my memories had not came back, then I would have still met Louisa. And by telling her the incident that happened to us in the village, I could have reached Simon. All of this happened because of this guy's luck! Damn, Howlers are pretty scary.It's such a shame that I will have to leave this kid.
"Howler is kind of a badass name." Sammy complimented him.
"Tomorrow I will again be gone somewhere and it might be for three to four days. Louisa told you where she was going, didn't she? You should go to her fir that time period."
"Are you going to do something to Simon Roads?" Andrew asks.
"Well, I can't leave the matter unsolved."
"But what can you possibly do alone? I know that you are pretty strong, but you are still fighting an organisation. You cannot beat them alone. I think we should take the help of miss." Andrew said, worried.
"Who said I was going to fight the whole organisation? Why would I wanna put so much effort into it? I will just fight Simon, not the whole organisation."
"But wouldn't there be other people with him?" Andrew asked.
Sammy smiled, put his hand over Andre's head and said," You need swords to fight a battle, but to win a battle, you need a brain.
Don't worry I have a plan. And if you are still worried about me, then take this." Sammy takes a pocket watch out from the packet of his coat.
"Here take this. I have fused it with my spirit force. Give it to Louisa. With this she will be able to tell wheather I am okay or not." Sammy hands the watch to Andrew.
"Hew will she be able to tell?"
"If anything bad happens to me then the spirit force in this watch will weaken. She will be able to sense it. And then you can come to my rescue. She can find me with this too."
"Okay, I hope nothing bad happens to you."
"Hahahaha, you should hope nothing bad happens to the enemies." Sammy said in a humorous way.
...
Inside some house in Manstoul city.
A man after finishing his dinner opened the door to his bedroom and entered inside. The room was very dark and anything was hardly visible. He went to his bed and lay down on it. He closed his eyes was ready to sleep. But after a few seconds he sensed something was unsusual. He got up and looked at the right corner of the room beside his bed. A chair was there. And on that chair was a man sitting on it. He was first very confused but he calmed himself down in just a fraction of milliseconds and tried to looks closely at the guy sitting on that chair. That guy's face came in his view. Suddenly a chill ran down his spine. He was terrified.
In fear and confusion, he said,"Youuu!?"
"What!? That's it! That is your reaction after seeing me. I have been sitting here for like half an hour, just to look like a badass and that is what your reaction is. That lame 'youuu!?' I thought your reaction would be like Louisa." Sitting on the chair, Sammy said.
"How are you still alive? I killed you myself. This is not possible." Jason said.
"I don't know how did this thought even came into your mind that you could kill me.
You shouldn't even dream about such things."
"No, this is impossi... cough cough cough!" Before even finishing his sentence, Jason stated coughing. He covered his mouth with his hand. When he removed it, he could feel some kind of fluid on his hand. Soon the same fluid stared to come out of his mouth, his eyes, his nose, his ears and every orifice of his body. Blood, yes, it was blood, his own blood.
"What'd this? What is happening to me?" Jason said in panic.
"Guess the poison has finally started to show its effects. Before you came into this room, I filled the air here with poison. And ofcourse, it was personaly made by me, just fur the purpose of killing you. Apothecary domain doesn't just provide you healing powers you know. It is very good for making poisons too. This is my first time trying it on someone. But if everything goes as it should, then soon your blood would stop carrying your oxygen to the different parts of your body. You wouldn't be able to breathe even after breathing. Your whole body's temperature will rise rapidly. You will feel your insides burning, like acid is being thrown at them. Your whole body will start to rot right in front of you. You will feel pain in your muscles like they are being crushed."
After hearing this, Jason lifted his hand. His hand turned into a sword, he got out from the bead and rushed towards Sammy to strike him down. But he collapsed one the floor before he could even reach Sammy. Just as he collapsed, a spherical shaped thing fell from his his head. It was his eye. He touched the place where his right eye used to be and found that it was not longer there. Before he could even process what had happened with him, his left eye fell too.
"Woah! That's something I didn't know would happen." Sammy said.
*Aaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!" Jason screamed loudly. The poison has starttef to show its full effect. His whole body was in pain. Soon he felt something moving on his mouth, his teeth. His teeth had broken. Soon they fell outside from his mouth. Even his nails were no longer at the tip of his fingers. They had fallen off with leaving only blood behind. His whole face was covered with blood too. Soon he felt something coming out from the inside of his body. He puked. But the food he ate was not the only thing that came outside. He had puked hai internal organs. His lungs were lungs were right there in front of him, but he couldn't see them, as never again in his life will be see something.
Sammy gabed his mouth with his right hand, in which he was wearing a black leather glove. He looked at Jason with his cold bksck eyes and said," Trying to kill me was fine. But trying to kill me while underestimatig me was not." He let go of his mouth with a sudden jerk and then left him there to die in pain.
