章節 2: Cold Funerals Sonata
They immediately began to move to eradicate the hordes of violent monsters that were terrorizing Helberg.
The boy immediately hid behind a large tree not far from him and peeked at the actions of the four of them.
With their expertise in using various kinds of weaponry, they quite easily overcame the brutal onslaught of the monster hordes without looking overwhelmed in the slightest.
The speed and skill of their extraordinary fighting techniques seemed to be able to make the hordes of monsters even more helpless, not once giving the creatures a chance to counterattack the four of them.
With dual blade slashes, long dagger-edged chain slashes, knife throws and arrows, the four managed to keep the monsters cornered.
Finally all the monsters that ravaged Helberg had been successfully slaughtered without leaving a single survivor, but sadly now the tragic feel was felt in every corner of the village.
There were so many corpses lying scattered around the courtyard of the village plus bloodstains that had frozen staining the entire land that was previously white and the fishy smell of blood that immediately spread through the cold air throughout the village.
The sound of wailing and crying from the villagers who had survived the tragedy seemed to complete the poignant elegy of the night.
A look of deep guilt appeared on the faces of the four unknown people who had managed to stop the bloody terror.
The child immediately ran to the four of them to ask for help to save his mother who was in danger.
"Sir, madam! Follow me! Please save my mom!", pleaded the child briefly in a very anxious tone.
The child then ran very hurriedly to return to his house, immediately the four of them followed where the child went.
Until they arrived in the courtyard of a house, the boy said that his mother was currently in danger there. The boy rushed to enter the house but a young woman from the herd immediately tried to prevent him from entering the place.
Then one of the men from the gang decided to go into the house alone to check on the situation inside.He asked his three comrades to look after the boy while he checked on the situation inside.
During the few moments of checking every corner of the room in the ruined house, the man did not find any danger in there.
Then the man arrived at a room located in the corner of the boy's house, what he saw was a woman who was drooping weakly on the floor just a few feet from where he was standing at that time.
As soon as he rushed over to the woman to check and confirm her condition, there were so many bloodstains on the white dress worn by the poor woman.
For some reason the man suddenly fell silent for a moment, he then uncovered the long blonde hair that covered her face that was turned limply to the floor.
Instantly the man's face looked so stunned when he saw the face of the woman he was about to save.
"Elea..., Eleanor...", the man said stammeringly as if he knew the woman well.
After a few moments of pensiveness he moved the woman's body to a bed, then left her there to tell his three colleagues who were waiting outside.
Meanwhile, outside, the child who was still waiting in anxiety had several times tried to force his way inside and confirm the condition of the mother himself.
But again the three people prevented and convinced him to wait until their comrades who were checking the situation inside returned.
Moments later the man appeared to step out of the house, walking slowly towards the four of them and stroking the child's head.
"What about my mom?" the boy asked.
"We'll take you to see your mom but please give the four of us a moment to talk," the man said, trying to smile.
The man also invited his three other comrades to talk about something in secret in a corner of the boy's yard.
Feeling so curious about what the four were talking about, the boy approached them and repeatedly asked them about what had actually happened and how his mother was in there.
The four of them who did not know how to explain it said that his mother was currently asleep in a room in there.Hearing their answers he tried to enter the house, but the man who had checked the situation there had held him back.
Sitting on his knees in front of the boy he placed his hands on the boy's shoulders, the man told the boy not to make any noise because doing so would disturb the peace of the sleeping mother.
The man also asked the boy's name and the whereabouts of his father at this time, the boy only answered casually, mentioning that his name was Victor.
The boy briefly explained that his father had long left him and his mother alone for a reason neither of them knew.
In fact, his father never once sent them news and never once returned to see them again until the fateful events of that night.
Sensing the increasingly unstoppable anxiety in the boy's mind, the four of them finally decided to accompany him inside.
The child hurriedly ran to the place they had mentioned in order to immediately reunite with his beloved mother.
A few steps away from where his mother was, a smile of happiness was painted on the child's face, his eyes looked teary, he immediately ran to his mother and hugged her body tightly who was lying on a bed.
But a few moments later the child suddenly began to feel an irregularity, for some reason he felt that his mother's skin felt so cold, even her heartbeat could not be heard and felt.
Instantly his face began to change, he called his mother repeatedly but she never woke up from sleep.
Tears flowed down his cheeks again, he repeatedly shook his mother's body which was lying limp in the hope that his mother would wake up quickly.
One of the four men approached him and placed his palm on the child's shoulder.
Finally he realized that his beloved mother was gone and he had to face a harsh reality that he could not help but accept.
"Mom...no! Mom..., Don't leave me, please! Wake up! Mom....", wailed the child.
His cries broke out even more, and immediately the woman of the four herds approached and hugged his body tightly.
Throughout the rest of the heartbreaking night, the three men from the unknown herd were assisted by the surviving residents to collect and bury the bodies of the countless victims.
But in the midst of the funeral procession, they were faced with a big trouble of lack of time and manpower.
A deliberation was held in the middle of the procession and with a heavy heart they finally agreed to bury the bodies of the victims directly without being put into a coffin first.
It was almost impossible to make a large number of coffins in such a short time, considering the number of fatalities from the ill-fated tragedy reached dozens.
As for cleaning up the rest of the mess that was still scattered around, they had to work together again to find the corpses and body parts of the monsters that had been killed to be collected in an open field at the end of the village far from the settlement and burn it to nothing.
Elsewhere in one of the cemeteries where the mass funeral procession of the victims was carried out, Victor, who was accompanied by the woman who had been from a group of people who had saved him, could only surrender when watching the body of his mother who would soon be immersed in the silence and coldness of the frozen grave.
While tightly hugging the woman's body his tears flowed so heavily that they rained down on the surface of the mourning courtyard that night.
The woman was touched to see Victor who was suffering from the pain of loss, she tirelessly tried to strengthen Victor's heart who was holding his body tightly.
"Victor, you have to be strong, because your mom does not want to see you continue to drift in your grief like this.", persuaded the woman.
The emotional funeral procession passed, Victor, who was still reluctant to move from his mother's grave, was painstakingly convinced by the woman to go home and calm himself down.
"Let's go home, you need to rest so you can be a little calmer,come on Victor..." persuaded the woman while holding Victor's hand.
Slowly the moonlight dimmed, a sign that tomorrow which was still filled with hidden mysteries would soon come to them.
