Dohert''s POV

    I look up and stare at the clear sky in front of me.

    -I... (Dohert)

    I can''t help but utter my last strength to shout out.

    -I am...alive! Ahahahahahah! (Dohert)

    I am alive! After all those hardships, I finally made it out alive.

    -Hahaha! Haha... (Dohert)

    I should be happy since I could escape from that hell. But somehow, tears keep coming out of my eyes. I look at my hands, which have been wounded to the level I couldn''t recognize these things as my hands.

    -Ahahaha! (Dohert)

    There are no single nails on those hands. And they look so tattered because of wounds and dirt.

    -But at least I can escape... (Dohert)

    All thanks to the goddess who gave me that skill. With that skill, I could keep my presence to a minimum. If I didn''t have that skill in the first place, I would die in that hell with others.

    -Urghh... (Dohert)

    I feel a little dizzy since I spend most of the time escaping those monsters.

    -A...bit tired! (Dohert)

    I just want to lay my body in this place and take a nap.

    -But I need to escape now. (Dohert)

    The barrier is right behind. I need to move far from this place.

    -... (Dohert)

    I mutter strength in those shaking legs to stand up again.

    -Go... (Dohert)

    I try to run at a fast speed. But my body couldn''t do that. Every single muscle inside my body keeps screaming and desires me to take a break.

    -Just a little more... (Dohert)

    Those Sins'' servants must have some plan with this city. I must get back soon to tell the goddess the news.

    -Graghhhh!

    -Huh! (Dohert)

    I thought I would escape from hell.

    -What... (Dohert)

    Many monsters have wolf''s form rushing in front of me.

    -Move!!!! (Dohert)

    I must run away! But where? To go back to that hell? I turn over and try to head toward the barrier again.

    -Let''s get information from him... (Mia)

    -Yeah. (Ay)

    I suddenly hear the sounds of some kid from above. But not to let me react, I can feel a sharp pain come from my chest. I look down and find a hall with a ball shape on it.

    -Uwaaaaa! (Dohert)

    I can''t stand the sharp pain and fall to the ground.

    -If you killed him right away, I won''t be able to extract the information, Amy. (Mia)

    -He is still alive, so do it fast. (Amy)

    -Alright, you stop those monsters in the meantime then. (Mia)

    -Okay. (Amy)

    Then I could hear a whistling sound as if something was moving at a fast speed. One of the voice owners must go out to deal with those monsters.

    -Let''s see... (Mia)

    I could hear the sounds of the other one walking toward me.

    -You... (Mia)

    A soft hand reaches out and grabs my face. I try to direct the line of sight to the opponent.

    -Huh! (Dohert)

    The one in front of me looks no different from a kid.

    -Don''t look at me, or I will pierce through those eyes of yours. (Mia)

    The kid is not only beautiful but also has a spite tongue. She looks at me as if I am some kind of trash.

    -Devour. (Mia)

    I don''t know what she will do to me, but I have a bad feeling about this. I try to struggle.

    -It will finish soon... (Mia)

    From her hand, a purple snake comes out.

    -Huh! (Dohert)

    -Get the information I needed. (Mia)

    The snakehead toward my head.

    -What? (Dohert)

    Then I could feel a terrible pain in my head. I feel something is being taken from inside me.

    -Hmmm... (Mia)

    After a while, the snake comes out of my head. It immediately comes back inside the little girl again.

    -So, there is nothing under the barrier. This one barely escapes by digging through under it. (Mia)

    Then the girl turns to me and looks at me with cold eyes.

    -You should die here. I can''t let you go back and report to your goddess. I don''t want them to notice this incident that soon. (Mia)

    I could feel terrible murderous intent come from that girl.

    -... (Dohert)

    I have no choice...but to accept the death. With the current wound, I will die anyway.

    The little girl reaches her hand toward me.

    -Good... (Mia)

    -Mia! (Amy)

    Someone suddenly interrupts the little girl.

    -Amy, what''s wrong? (Mia)

    -Many wolves are coming our way. At this rate, our existence would become noticeable to that betrayer. It''s better to move now. (Amy)

    -Uhm, let me finish this one off first. (Mia)

    -Huh, just leave him. He would die to either my wound or those wolves, anyway. (Amy)

    The little girl nods and seems to agree with the other one.

    -Alright, let''s go... (Mia)

    Then the two in front of me suddenly disappear and leave me behind. I let out a dry laugh in this situation. I close my eyes and accept my fate.

    -Ahahaha... (Dohert)

    At the same time, I could hear many loud steps coming in my direction. They probably belong to those monsters.

    -Then... (Dohert)

    A loud explosion interrupts my monologue.

    -Are you alright? (???)

    This time, I could hear a young and innocent voice calling out to me. I open my eyes and...

    -Goddess... (Dohert)

    -Ehh? (???_

    This time, it''s a little girl with pink hair standing in front of me. She is not a stunning beauty. I feel she leans more on the cute side. She gave me some kind of unique aura that I had never felt before.

    -Oh... (Dohert)

    I feel a terrible urge to stand by her side and protect her. And I could feel a loud throbbing inside my chest just by looking at her.

    -I... (Dohert)

    The girl reaches out to me and asks me.

    -Are you alright? (Dohert)

    What a crazy day! I was just being pushed to hell, but now I am being pulled up by an angel. I lost the ability to replay and just stare at her eyes.
