Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Lily and Grace were sitting on the bench enjoying the view while waiting for Max to bring the ice cream.

They would giggle now and then if they saw something funny happening, after all, with so many people in their surroundings, something funny was bound to happen.

But that happy atmosphere was shattered like a fragile glass smashed by a rock when they heard the screech of a group of beasts.

They were stunned just like others, but they broke out of their stunned state when they heard someone shout, "RUN!!!".

All hell broke loose after that shout, people running over others, stepping over others, crushing them, and killing them in the process.

The ones who had the worst situation were children as they were shorter, and they ran slowly.

No one knew how many children were crushed to death, but the toll was at least higher than one digit.

Lily watched this all unfold with horror-filled eyes.

She could see the children she found doing funny dying under the feat of so many people that no one could tell which leg belonged to whom.

If not for Grace pulling Lily to the side together with herself as she stood up on the bench gaining a high ground, then Lily might not have survived.

Just then Lily saw a guy she saw picking his nose a while ago getting crushed to death by the crowd.

She could see how his brain matter splashed as his head was stepped by many people.

His small chubby body started thinning down as the things inside came out.

But then her eyes were covered by a soft and gentle hand.

"It's all right, princess, it's all right. Daddy must be on his way, he will take us out of here." Grace spoke with a smile trying to cheer Lily up.

Grace could feel warm liquid on her palm, and she could tell that Lily was crying but she wasn't in a situation to focus on Lily as the bench they were standing on suddenly got pushed by a lot of people.

"Nooo!!" She Screamed as she fell towards the incoming crowd, but she hurriedly covered Lily with her body, shielding Lily from any harm.

"Mommy!!" Lily shouted as she saw herself falling to the ground with her mother, but then she felt herself being enveloped by a pair of soft and gentle hands.

Grace hugged Lily as she sat like a stone with her back towards the crowd.

Many people ran over her, and she could feel some of her bones cracking.

Although she was a C-ranked raider, she was still not immune to physical damage, that too when there were many pow-rank raiders that ran over her.

"Ugh…' Grace grunted as someone stepped over her head and ran.

"Mommy!! Stop!! Please stop!! You are hurting my mommy!! Stop!!....."

Lily kept shouting as she saw Grace being injured and in just a few seconds the crowd passed over them.

Grace finally let Lily go as she sat on the ground with the bench supporting her back.

'Thank you….' She thanked the bench as she touched it.

She knew if the bench was not there, and if she didn't hide behind the bench, then her injuries would've been much more serious than they were right now.

"It's all right, princess…. ugh…... I'm fine, see?" Grace spoke with the best smile she could give, despite the pain she felt.

She lifted her hand as she tried to flex her non-existent biceps.

But as if the god thought that they had not suffered enough, Grace saw a Drakfire running toward them.

The oppressive pressure from the beast and the bloodthirsty eyes of the beast froze her on the spot.

'Where are you, Max....?' Grace struggled even to sit straight as she looked at the beast running toward them.

The beast was moving toward them at a low speed as if it knew that they were not going to run away.

Lily who saw the beast also froze.

'Am I going to die…...?' This was the only thing she could think of but suddenly there was a glint in her eyes as a voice reverberated in her mind.

But Lily couldn't hear it, nor did she know anything about it.

{I'm in danger...?} The voice inside Lily sounded confused.

{But if I unlock my memories now....} The voice didn't get to complete its words as Lily's eyes met with Alex right at that moment.

{Ah...} That was all that was heard before the voice completely vanished as it ran away or simply didn't want to be detected.

'Help us, please...' Lily who saw Alex looking at her didn't know why she found him familiar, nor did she know why she believed that he would save her, but she still called out for Alex.

"GRACE!!! LILY!!!!"

Both Lily and Grace heard a shout, but Grace was frozen to even look at the source of the voice while Lily was looking at Alex who was standing quite far a moment ago, but now he was standing in front of them.

"It's all right now."

They both heard a gentle and calming voice which somehow assured them that they would really be fine, but they still looked at Alex who was standing between them and the beast as he held the beast by its long neck.

Alex was still thinking about who he saw when he looked at Lily so the fact that the beast in front of him was an S-ranked beast and he was an SS-ranked raider right now, slipped his mind.

The beast could feel the iron grip on its neck, and it knew that it wouldn't be able to get out of the grip, so it lifted its leg and slashed its claw at Alex.

Things happened so fast that Lily and Grace couldn't see anything but Alex who saw the claw right in front of his chest at the last moment quickly tilted his body, avoiding the claw.

The claw did pass out without giving him a scratch but...

*RIPPPPP*

The claw took his shirt which was loose and hanging out along with it.

'Tsk….' Alex clicked his tongue inwardly before he snapped the Darkfire's neck like a twig.

*Crack*

With a crack sound, the Darkfire died without much action.

However, Alex's body was a bit too good to be shown out like that.

'Hot!!' Grace thought as she looked at Alex's perfect muscular cuts and streamlined body.

"What are you doing, Grace!! You are married!'

Grace quickly shook her head as she started recalling her time with her husband, just to distract her mind, and it helped, after all, she loved her husband unconditionally just like he loved her.

Grace was still stealing glances at Alex, but she was not having any impure thoughts, she was just looking at a piece of art that God created with intense focus.

Lily was just a small child so she didn't know the difference between a normal guy's body and Alex's, but she was still staring at Alex as she felt like he was a good person.

She felt like he was a family, and his importance was elevated to the same as her father and mother's in an instant.

"Grace!!! Lily!!" By then Max who was not far away and was running toward them also arrived.

He directly crouched down and pulled both Grace and Lily into a hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...." He kept repeating the same line.

.............................................….

Alice and Ann who were quite far also paused as they saw Alex standing there bare-chested.

They had seen him half naked many times as they lived together, and accidents were bound to happen.

But no matter how many times they see him like that, they would feel all tingly over their bodies.

They looked at each other and nodded their heads before they decided to quickly take care of the beast and move closer to Alex.

They could see Max running toward Alex, Lily, and Grace, so they decided to move there as well.

It was not because they wanted to take a closer look at Alex before he took something out from his storage ring and wore it.

It was NOT because of that, all right?
