Beast Monster System

"You probably had this vision when you stepped on those Bigfoots' heads and shattered them. I think this was just a reflection of what actually happened in reality since you had no idea of what you did in real life," Jade said, she broke the awkward silence between all of them.

"That actually makes sense," Cheryl added and supported Jade's words.

"I don't know … I mean, I don't think that was … what happened, it makes sense though, but-"

"You haven't finished the story, don't you?" Jake asked Aksel and made him turn his head towards the captain immediately after.

"Y-yeah …" Aksel responded while looking at Blake.

"What?" Blake spoke to Aksel a moment later, he could easily realize that someone was looking at him although he wasn't looking at that person. Blake was focused on the potatoes before, but he turned his head towards Aksel afterwards.

"I … I also saw your father in that place, he stood next to a middle-aged woman and a young adult guy who looked a lot like you. I'm pretty sure they were your mother and your brother, even though I've never seen their faces before," Aksel told Blake. He looked doubtful to tell him that, but he couldn't help but tell him about it.

Blake frowned just shortly after. "What?" He said.

"Yeah … at the same moment as I somehow remembered that I was the one who severed those people's heads, I also realized that I recognized some of their faces. They were the mysteriously disappeared Martians, their disappearances happened in the last ten years, including my mom's case and your family's case," Aksel added.

"Wait, Blake's family disappeared?" Curtis asked confusedly and so casually.

Blake's gaze turned to Curt immediately after, there was some kind of confusion on his look. He looked at Aksel again afterwards.

"How could you know about my family's case? I thought it was the most secretive case ever on Mars," Blake talked to Aksel 2 seconds later since he couldn't find the answer by himself.

"Captain told me about it to make me understand why you seem to hate us, I'm so sorry for what happened to them, Blake," Aksel explained. Blake turned his gaze again, this time towards Jake who also looked at him less than a second later.

'For someone who is basically nobody, he seems to know so many things. This guy … he really has lots of mystery,' Blake wondered about Jake in his mind.

"What happened next?" Blake then changed the topic of the conversation, he clearly didn't want to talk about such a thing any longer. 

"U-uh … I could sense some kind of heat afterwards … like … there was a blazing fire behind me," Aksel continued the story. He understood that Blake didn't want to talk about it, although everyone's attention was already distracted from him to Blake.

"I turned around … and I saw a lot of strange creatures … they blended into one with the fire, I swear there were so many of them. Their appearances made the place become brighter, it was mostly because of the fire, I also couldn't see any of those people and their heads after that, including my mom, as well as the blood flood," Aksel stated.

"What kind of creatures were they?" Chandler asked the boy a moment later.

"Uh … probably creatures from hell would describe them very well," Aksel answered.

"They were scary … they all grinned like devils, well they themselves were probably devils, you know," he continued.

"How were their forms?" Shawn asked Aksel too afterwards.

"Ugh, absolutely scary and totally strange. Most of them were huge, had multiple hands, had weird faces … I don't know, they all looked like monsters, although some of them had much smaller weight than the others, none of them looked like humans. I would say … it feels like I was in hell, with devils around me," Aksel said dramatically.

"Then … what happened?" Curt asked again a moment later.

"Then I woke up," Aksel replied briefly, he was distracted by the deer, he found it hard to find the meat from the deer's body, no one realized that the boy had already that far with the deer until his brief response towards Curt.

'So fast, he literally has finished all the meat part of this deer. His appetite is unbelievably huge,' Jake thought as he saw the deer.

"How could you wake up? You just woke up like … nothing happened?" Cheryl asked Aksel so confusedly.

"Hmmph, nah," Aksel answered while chewing the deer meat. "Actually, a moment before I woke up, one of many of them said 'welcome, you're now part of us' to me, then a super bright light appeared above me. I raised my head, I couldn't see anything else afterwards, it was like I was blinded by that light, and when my vision was back, it was me … awoken," he continued, he was still chewing the meat while explaining it.

"So … in conclusion … you are a devil now?" Curtis said while scratching his chin, he seemed to wasn't sure of his own words, but he succeeded to make everyone else surprised.

"Wait- what??" Even Aksel stopped chewing the raw meat after he heard what Curt had just said.

'Huh?!' Aksel thought afterwards in shock, but it was because of something else.

BOOM!!!

Unexpectedly, The Saviors got a surprise and mysterious attack. The attack came from behind Aksel, Curt, and Chandler, it was a super fireball that would explode once it hit an object. The fireball was intentionally directed to the tree that was right behind Aksel, and Aksel could already sense it before it hit the tree. But eventually, it changed nothing, the super fireball hit the tree and made an extremely huge explosion.

This fatal explosion dealt the same amount of damage as Aksel's Super Energy, but the fire caused by it made the damage even worse.

Less than a second later, from a distance, a Bigfoot smirked after seeing this, the monster looked happy to see all of this. "Not gonna lie, I had a big expectation towards them, so killing them this easy is a disappointment and a happiness at the same time for me," the Bigfoot said a moment later. There were another 2 Bigfoots behind the first one.

"Huft … what can I say? Once losers, forever losers," continued the first Bigfoot as another Bigfoot came with Nala in its hands.

Surprisingly, this new Bigfoot had something unexpected on its back: wings.

"Hmph, I like your words," the Bigfoot with wings told the first Bigfoot with a smirk as well. It also laid down Nala on the ground afterwards.

"Yeah, to be honest, those were nice words, you've done a great job by saying them," Jake stated while smiling widely at them, showing his crystal clear teeth.

"U-uh?!" The four Bigfoots were all shocked by Jake's sudden appearance near them, they immediately turned to him, but it was too late because the captain of The Saviors took back Nala and then flew away with the girl from these 4 Bigfoots in just 1 second.

"No way!"

"So fast!"

"What the f*ck?!"

3 of the 4 Bigfoots showed how shocked they were with words too, while the other one could only freeze because of the fact Jake survived and how fast he moved.

"Oi oi …" the Bigfoot that stood next to the silent Bigfoot became speechless after it saw back to the other Saviors. Its friends also did the same after they heard its words.

As the black smoke slowly went away, those Bigfoots could see The Saviors (including Jake) and Nala, were all there, were all totally okay, and they were all looking at them.

'That kid …' the first Bigfoot thought as it saw Aksel with his hand in the air. The two of them made eye contact, the long-distance between them didn't block them from doing it since this area was completely free from the trees at the moment, it was empty.

'He held my attack with one palm and saved them all?' the first Bigfoot continued.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! I'm still alive! I'm still alive! Thank you, Aksel! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You saved my first kiss and me!" Curt said emotionally in disbelief.

Aksel then turned to Curtis after making intense eye contact with the first Bigfoot which was also the one who attacked The Saviors with that super fireball. "No worries," he replied to Curtis after nodding, he also smiled while saying it.

"Great job, Aksel, you did it so fastly," Jake praised Aksel afterwards.

"Mhm, but you also took back that girl so fastly, Captain, you also did a great job," Aksel responded to Jake a moment later, he looked happy. Jake then smiled at him too.

"H-how could you do all of that …?" Rosemarie asked Aksel less than a second later. Just like Curt's, her facial expression also showed that she couldn't believe she just survived a huge explosion that none of them except Aksel was aware of before it really happened.

"Wait- you've leveled up?! How come-?! The last piece of meat is on your hand and you haven't even eaten it yet!" Cheryl added with the same facial expression.

"N-no … I haven't leveled up yet … I still don't have mana points …" Aksel told them while still chewing the same meat before he became silent because of something in his mind. He looked confused just like them though.

"Hey! Answer us!" Cheryl scolded Aksel just shortly after.

"I … I have no idea either …" Aksel stated a moment later. The boy was holding the last meat in his hand while saying it and was about to put it in his mouth, but suddenly Nala got up and immediately jumped to Aksel.

KRATAK!

Nala bit Aksel's right hand which was the hand that was holding the last meat, she did it as she transformed into her perfect Bigfoot form very quickly starting from her head.

'You all let your guard down!' Nala thought as she really bites Aksel's hand just to sever it from his body so that his hand and that last meat would go to her stomach.

Aksel tried to release himself from Nala even though the bones on his right hand had immediately been broken. Unfortunately, his energy was too little, he was still too weak to be able to release himself and made sure that his right hand and the last meat were safe.

TAS!!

And that was the moment when Aksel's right hand finally severed from his body. His blood poured out from the severed part of his right hand, and the boy fell afterwards.

"Goddammit! Aksel!" Curtis exclaimed, it was very shocking and happened so fastly, only in 3 seconds, giving anyone no time to help Aksel.

'Sh*t!' Blake thought. Each member of The Saviors was shocked to see Nala's unexpected and quick action, each of them, except Jake. The captain looked casually at Nala and Aksel.
