Prove that you have the value to stay alive!
Wrapped in a wide black robe, Gu A'san felt his scalp tingle slightly when he heard this clear and lovely female voice. He could clearly feel the terror of the pair of men and women before him, which was a kind of extreme danger and an existence that could dominate his life and death.
Gu A'san secretly wiped the sweat flowing down from the top of his head, while also feeling relieved in his heart; the fact that the other party could say this proved that his crisis at the moment was gone, or at least that there was no crisis to his life for the time being.
"No, what is it that you want to... know?" Gu A'san asked tentatively.
The moment the woman standing by the large millstone in the central area of the village finished speaking, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, her palm lifted, and she made an empty grab toward Gu A'san.
"Ah—"
Gu A'san let out a miserable scream that resounded across the fields. Just then, the air outside his body, which had been completely unremarkable and without any anomalies, underwent a mutation.
That ubiquitous air instantly transformed into an invisible hand, slamming down fiercely toward his left leg.
"Plop!"
Under the squeeze of this invisible hand, the flesh and blood attached to his shinbone were forcefully mashed into bloody mud and splattered away, exposing that shinbone emitting a faint luster.
"Ah—spare my life!!!! No... n-no... no—" Gu A'san looked at the woman controlling the invisible hand, her gaze as cold as ice, and looked at the leg of his that was being grabbed, an ominous prehension instantly rising in his heart.
"Crack!"
There was not the slightest hesitation or pity on the face
