Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Even If it costs me anything, I will protect you.

As the wolf-like creature with a pair of red horns walked, he was slow! Almost on his last breath.

Seeing this, Kaito's thoughts moved raptly, he was trying to find some way to block it. If he were to lure it away, that's not gonna work because of the blood rain outside.

That creature is huge, almost like a three-story house, with its paws having 3 sharp fangs covered in blood.

Seeing the looks of it, Kaito analyzes, "So, it loses its hiding spot, and the way he dropped from the sky, it's like he's been thrown by some other creature ."

A drop fell on its eye!

"Good! The other eye of it has a huge fresh scar, and now he was trying to look at us and send up, getting fully blind."

But the creature is fully committed to others' lives with his own. 

He lunges forward!

There was not much space in a cave for the doge Kaito to move his mom onto his back on the right side because the creature's fangs were bent towards the left.

He plans to push his fangs to the other side of the back of it. Before, they stood on the left side of the cave. So the creature is now blind and attacks with its fangs on the left side, thinking both of them were on the left.

It's Fang has reached and cave, then Kaito punches its fang, but with that, Kaito's other hand is also broken now. But managed to change the direction of its claw.

The crack in his bones was reaching his shoulder, and blood was flowing out of his nails. He was panting hard.

The creature is dead now, and the other side of the cave is covered with its dead body.

The good thing was that he broke the cave so that blood rain could come through it, but now its dead body is blocking it.

And his right hand is pointing forward, with his chest on the cave's broken side. Its body is still hot, making the cave warm.

The bad thing was that the thing between its legs was blocking the way out of the cave, and it was huge.

Kaito looked at his mom, who was hugging him from behind his back with her eyes closed.

"Mom, it' alright now."

Kaito patted his mom's head with his left hand.

He thought, "You were really lucky, Mom, because Dad and grandpa did their best as possible to protect you, and right now I am their only hope."

He knows his mom was a strong woman, but in this cruel and cold world, killing and slaughtering are the only methods to survive.

Funny thing is, both of them were in the same Green Pajamas.

Kaito then removes his top, making his mom somewhat confused and blush, and gives it to her to wear. Not because she does not have her own, but he has to dig into the core of this creature from its chest.

"Mom, can you cover your eyes with this?"

His mom nodded.

Then he picked up a nearby broken stone that hit his left hand. It did not hit him directly, but passed through his hand that had almost recovered now because of a 4 times better body.

Then he started to stab the creature's chest with that stone; the stone's edge was sharp like a sword.

"As expected, it did not even get deep enough," it was only nail-size deep into the creature's chest.

But Kaito pulls it out and stabs once again, with his broad shoulder.

Kaito's father disappeared from the earth when he was 7 years old. So he is never likely to be a coward who runs away and seeing his mom's hard work to raise him and manage the company alone as a woman. 

He started to feel pathetic child whose mom never even hit him in her life, yet he is like a rich pig who eats and sleeps.

But then he started to do home workouts, strength yoga, and breath work, making him handsome and a man whom you can rely on at the age of 16 years old.

But in the process, he ended up alone with no friends, and eventually he became a specter he is almost invisible in the eyes of others.

He had a pretty good experience of human nature.

After an hour and a half later he finally reached the heart of the creature. There was something red shining in the heart center.

It was a core!

He pierced through the heart that was almost his size and pulled out the core that was covered in warm red blood.

The core was his a fingernail size. He looked at it for a good second, thinking that if he ate it right now, there were pretty good chances he would get unconscious.

Because it was his first experience, it was himself rather than his dad's memories.

Then he calculated that the rain was going to continue for 4 more hours, and they had already had breakfast this morning, it had been 3 hours since the world had consumed the earth.

While he remembers things, in his dad's memories, when this world consumes the other world, it will grow, and there is a pretty good chance that 90% of the people will turn into this creature.

Others who have a strong will to live and be free appear in different parts of this world.

His dad has already made sure that his will is not strong enough; he will forcefully teleport to a safe location, but this was not the safe location, so his dad's arrangement is still in his body.

He looked at his mom, who was sitting in the corner of the cave with her head down on her knees.

"Does that mean Mom has a strong will to live and fight on?" He thought in his heart.

Then he decided to take a gamble and ate the core!

His vision started to become blurry, and intense pains arose in his body, and blood started to leak out of his six orifices.

He slowly walked towards his mom, seeing her son's condition, she hurriedly ran and grabbed him.

"Mom, take care of me for 2 or 3 hours." This was his last word before he went unconscious.

"I will even if it costs me anything, I will protect you," his mom said in a low voice.
