Arnold, on the other hand, was extremely exhausted as he hadn\'t eaten or drank anything in two days. 

Not only that, he was still injured by the fall, and his body was aching all over. He couldn\'t sit straight or move his body properly.

During the night they spent together, Arnold told Rosemary how he found her covered in snow and how he helped her. 

He also mentioned the monster he saw in the forest\'s mist and how he fell off the cliff when an enormous snowball hit him.

Rosemary had realized that one way or another, she was responsible for Arnold\'s current condition.

She glanced at Arnold, who was having a hard time staying awake, and bit her lips in frustration.

\'Alchemy only hurts others,\' she uttered to herself.

After a few minutes, Arnold closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, Rosemary was nowhere to be seen.

Arnold slowly sat up and glanced around to have a proper look at his surroundings, but he still couldn\'t see Rosemary anywhere in sight.

\'Did she ditch me when I was sleeping?\' Arnold thought.

"Well…" Arnold sighed and muttered, "I can\'t blame her. No girl would want to spend time with an abnormal, old man like me."

He forcefully stood up and dragged his body out of the cave.

"I need to go back. If master Zeus leaves, then I won\'t be able to meet him until his wedding— which is next month."

Arnold walked to the nearest tree and chopped one of its branches to use it as a stick to walk.

He used the stick as support and walked through the unknown forest.

He had no idea where he was going; he simply followed the path.

After walking for a while, that looked like hours to Arnold, but he had only walked for a few minutes.

He found a giant tree and stopped there to take a rest.

"Even though this forest has a lot of trees, none of them have any fruits."

GROWL~

"I am starving. I need food."

\'Who would have thought this would happen.\'

"Everything was calm and perfect when I left. Even the forest had no sign of the blizzard. And then suddenly, it came from everywhere, as though someone had turned on the switch."

GROWL! 

Arnold\'s stomach growled again.

He closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "I think… I will die from starvation…"

ROAR!

"Even my stomach growl sounds like a road to me," he tittered.

ROAR!

"...."

Arnold got up and followed the voice.

"What am I doing? Why am I going towards the voice instead of running from it?" He questioned himself.

After following the voice, he reached the hill, and down the mountain was the same monster he had seen before in the blizzard.

"What the hell is that thing?" 

It was an enormous— five times the size of an adult human, shaggy, ape-like creature with huge feet, and its body was covered with long white fur. Its eyes were red as blood, and it had long-sharp claws. Its fangs were reaching to its eyes, and its horns were assymetrical.

However, what left Arnold baffled was seeing Rosemary fighting the monster alone.

"What is she doing?!"

Rosemary was fighting with the monsters using rocks.

"I have to do something—" Arnold stopped and thought, \'Maybe she is strong? Like master Zeus is?\'

The monster swung its fists and punched Rosemary. Her body flew and got slammed into the mountain.

"....!" Arnold quickly rushed to Rosemary, but he struggled to walk straight.

\'She is not strong!\'

Arnold ignored the pain he was experiencing in his body and slid down the cliff. He reached Rosemary and asked, "Are you okay?"

Rosemary turned to Arnold with a horrified look on her face and yelled, "Why are you here?!"

"I saw you and—"

"I drove this monster here to keep it away from you, and you…" Rosemary gritted her teeth and yelled, "You idiot!"

"But… I thought you ran away…" Arnold stammered, feeling rather emotional.

"What?!" Rosemary exclaimed. "This monster came looking for you, so to save you, I acted as bait to drive him away."

\'I truly have a self-centered mindset,\' Arnold uttered to himself.

"Now, go away! I will handle this monster," Rosemary suggested.

"And how will you do that? I just saw you fighting with the rocks, and you don\'t even have any weapons. Can you use magic?" Arnold asked curiously.

"I am a sorceress, and I use alchemy to survive," Rosemary asserted.

SIGH!

Arnold Let out a weary sigh and got up. He walked towards the monster and used the stick as a sword as he wasn\'t carrying any weapon with him.

"What are you doing?" Rosemary shouted with an anxious look on her face.

"I once had a party member who was also a sorceress. But she couldn\'t use offensive attacks and only acted as a support," Arnold uttered without looking back at Rosemary.

"I don\'t know if all the sorceresses are like that, but if there is someone ready to die to protect me, then I can\'t just watch them die."

He was talking about Rhea, who happened to be Rosemary\'s sister, but he wasn\'t aware of that.

Arnold increased his pace and ran to the monster with his uneven steps. He couldn\'t even stand straight, but he was ready to fight the monster.

He knew he stood no chance against the monster in his current condition, but he would rather die protecting someone rather than let someone else die.

ROAR!

"Old man!" Rosemary screamed as she rushed to Arnold to save him.

The monster roared as he enraged and dashed at Arnold.

\'It\'s so fast for a big monster!\' 

Before Arnold could even think of what to do, the monster was standing in front of him.

It raised its hands in the air and smashed Arnold to the ground.

 The monster banged its fists repeatedly on Arnold as his bones shattered with each punch.

\'Dying while protecting someone… feels nice…\' Arnold smiled.

ROAR!

The monster roared loudly and jumped in the air to land a final blow on Arnold.

Arnold accepted his fate and closed his eyes. He waited for the final punch, but he couldn\'t feel it.

Confused, he opened his eyes and saw someone standing in front of him.

It was a black-haired teenage boy, wearing clean clothes and a bracelet on his left hand.

He was holding the monster\'s fists and crushing them with his bare hands.

"Yo Arnold! Why is it that whenever I find you, you are always in trouble, and I see you quivering on the ground?"

"Master… Zeus…"
