Capítulo 4: Chapter 3 - Discovery
BOOM! BOOM!
With the powerful roar of an explosion, my eyes snapped open and I shot up out of bed. It takes me a few seconds to process what happened, before I get out of bed and run outside. "What the hell was that? Did a gas explode? No, that's impossible; there shouldn't be something like that in this day and age..."
My words trailed off at the sight. In the distance I could see a huge battle, between humanoid beings in white and silver armor and white dove-like wings sticking out from their backs... Other humanoid beings were facing them, but with darker and more aggressive armor. Dark, thin wings, like those of a bat, stuck out from their backs.
"What, what the fuck?! This, this is a hallucination? Angels vs. vampires? No, no matter how I look at it, this is too stupid; I'm supposed to be in the past, not in a fantasy world-"
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
I couldn't finish my words, nor continue my thoughts as more explosions sounded. Covering my face with my arms, I could see how strange circles appeared on the hands of the bat-winged beings, then lightning, fire, water, ice and everything… These kinds of things came out of those circles towards the white-winged beings, while they counterattacked with spears, white swords that appeared out of nowhere and even rays of light that hit the ground, causing explosions.
As if the sight of the supernatural battle raging in the skies wasn't enough, screams of men, women and even children began to be heard throughout the town. Looking down at the battle, my skin crawled at the carnage that was happening. Those bat-winged beings began to kill the town's citizens. Not even the men with their retarded weapons could last more than one attack from these beings.
"I have to escape, no, I don't want to die," staggering, I began to slowly back away, then turned around and began to run towards the town's exit, with all the strength I had acquired this whole month. "No, I shouldn't have left the forest, even those bears are more harmless than these monsters, what the fuck did I do?" Since the day I was born, for the first time in my entire life, I regretted a decision.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
The explosions were becoming more frequent, destructive, and even sounding closer. On the other hand, the screams of the citizens were the opposite: they were fewer and fewer, and at the same time heartbreaking. I could feel my legs starting to hurt, the shaking caused by the explosions, the long run I was running, plus the lack of exercise I had.
I could see how the guards who greeted me at the entrance approached; I could feel a tiny ray of hope being born deep in my heart, to be forcibly extinguished after a huge pillar of ice fell on top of them. I stopped dead when I witnessed such an atrocity and several drops of blood fell on my face and clothes; clenching my fists tightly, I had to run hard again. "I have to escape, I don't want to die, I want to go home."
BOOM!!!
In an instant I could feel a huge source of heat, before a huge shock wave sent me flying and crashing against the ground to start rolling on the dirt floor. With a loud bang against a stone wall, my body stopped; I could feel my whole body in pain, as well as feeling a strong sinking sound blocking my hearing. Just by opening my eyes and lifting my head, a huge pain ran through my body. My blurred vision slowly came into focus to see a huge crack a few meters from where I was.
"Du, it hurts, argh, it hurts like hell, not even when I fell from a floor it hurt this much... Huh? Ah, ahhhh!" As I tried to get up with the support of my arms, I noticed that my left arm was not responding. Turning my head I noticed the state of my arm; it was almost destroyed; the place where my flesh should be was covered by brown skin; there was shredded flesh, pieces of flesh were missing, high temperature burns surrounding the flesh, the bone of my arm could be seen through the lack of flesh and even some fingers were missing from my arm.
My cry of pain and horror filled the destroyed field that was once a peaceful town; I could not even observe the state of my arm, as I noticed how the beings with bat wings were approaching. I felt my body shudder as I felt the gaze of those beings; with stumbling and fighting against the strong pain that ran through my entire body, I managed to barely get up and start running again towards the exit of the village.
"Grrr! It hurts like hell, but at least I'm out of the village." Getting up with much effort from the ground, I began to limp towards the outskirts of the village. Falling to the ground several times and getting up with much effort, I continued trying to escape. After all those winged beings, they were chasing me, like a wolf to a rabbit or, more specifically, like a cat playing with a mouse.
"This is fun; I prefer killing and tormenting humans, than having to deal with those damn angels or fallen ones."
"You're right, it's good to have fun after a fight with those disgusting angels; we must thank Lucifer-sama for these diversions."
You can hear the words, the laughter, the mockery and the fun of those beings. I felt like my whole body was starting to give in to the pain; the adrenaline was slowly starting to disappear, but I refused to fall, I couldn't die, I wanted to go back to my family.
BOOM!!!
My thoughts were silenced as I felt something hot crash against my back, causing me to end up falling down a small cliff.
Crack!
I felt like some bone was breaking, amplifying the pain I was already feeling. Spitting blood, I began to crawl along the ground as laughter grew closer. Tears of helplessness fell down my face; all the pain only increased when I came before a huge stone wall, stopping any progress in getting away from those beings.
"No, no! I don't want to die, why, why is this happening to me? I want to see my family, at least, just once". I started hitting the wall that deprived me of any way to escape with the only arm I had left. My whole body was bristling at the footsteps that were getting closer and closer. Looking more closely at that wall with frustration, I could see a crack in the middle of the wall; getting closer to it, I noticed that it was a small crack only thirty centimeters high and twenty wide.
Whether it was because it was my only hope or my instinct to survive, I tried to get through that crack with effort, only getting wounds from the stones in my hand. The adrenaline, which was once weakening, suddenly increased after those laughs were heard closer and a fragment of ice was thrown centimeters from my head, getting stuck in the stone wall.
It was crazy to keep trying to get through that small crack, but the primitive instinct to survive kept pushing me towards my only chance to survive. Then, for no apparent reason, I felt the crack begin to grow larger and larger, until my entire body was able to fit through. When I tried to stand up, I felt as if my body was not used to standing, and a strong pain ran through my entire body, and worse when I fell on my injured left arm, well, what was left of it…
As I began to cross the small crack, I felt myself moving forward, but not with my knees and my arm; it was more like walking on all fours. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to process what was happening. Hearing voices coming from behind me, I quickly quickened my pace, hitting my body against the stone walls. Being close to completely crossing the tunnel and escaping, at the last moment I felt a strong, huge source of heat appear behind me, glancing sideways to notice a fireball behind me ready to completely char me…
With the last strength I had left I managed to jump to the end of the small crack, falling into a cave before the fireball passed quickly by the place where I was a few seconds ago and crashed into the wall with a loud bang. I could only watch in silence as my vision blurred and I staggered across the hard stone floor. "No, I want to die," blurting out those words, I collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Well, I've edited this chapter as much as I can. If there is a mistake in the words, blame the translator, since as I said in the description of the novel, I don't know English.
