Oscar and Edward, this duo moves like a fish in the water when walking in the city of Jane where the battle took place. The independent space didn't impede their movement. They move towards the west.
"The net already caught the fish." Oscar jumping into another independent space.
"Hold yourself. We must be careful less he notices our advance."
"Edward, that creature is not that strong. He can't even prevent himself from being locked in the space. I suspect he must be using some sort of forbidden magic to increase his magic."
"The first rule in battle, never underestimate your opponent." Edward slaps Oscar's back as a reminder.
Oscar grimaces with pain. Edward uses his talisman to pave way for them to travel. He also holds a small mirror where inside the mirror it shows the location that is pointed by the dust of aura.
Oscar shut his mouth and follow Edward silently. Edward suddenly stops and stare in front of him.
His intuition tells him it is highly dangerous to keep moving.
"What is wrong? Edward?"
Edward grabs Oscar and jumps into another independent space. Right after the duo jump out, a ghoul comes in. He sniffs the air and grin.
"Grade S. Delicious. Thomas didn't deceive me. "
The ghoul jumps at the same route Oscar and Edward jump. Oscar senses the danger a bit late and he quickly conjures rain to wash away their odour and Edward paste talisman that able to hide their aura. It happens quickly and after a few jumps from one independent space to another, the ghoul lost track of the duo.
The duo keeps jumping until they are sure they are not being chased.
"Who the hell is chasing us? Such a strong aura. He didn't even try to hide his presence."
"Probably Grade SS night creature. We mobilise our Grade SS expert, do you think the night creature will sit and watch our expert rampaging in their land."
"I don't understand why we need the Grade SS expert for a night creature. What are they so scared about? They scared that the night creature has many expert hidden and want to kill all of them?"
"It is true that it just a single creature but our expert determines that it is a sign that the night creatures are on the rise. If a single creature can kill a whole base then what happens if they manage to create two or more of this kind of creature. That is why we need to get that creature in our hand dead or alive."
Oscar doesn't want to think all those things. All night creature just needs to be killed. Their existence is not needed. Edward observes the mirror when the pointer vanishes from the mirror. The enemy has fled. Too angry, Edward smashes the mirror.
Outside the city, Mikayla looking up to see the huge barrier around the city.
"Little Master, you are safe now but they seem to lock on your aura so I have created a barrier to prevent your aura be detected by them. The barrier will last for a month. It will be enough for you to hide from those hunters. It's time for me to go."
Lord Bai go back as fast as he came. Mikayla didn't even manage to utter a single word. His face is red holding his anger.
"Tell me the truth, Amory." Deep in his heart, he knew the answer but he does not want to accept it.
"Master, they don't accept you. They know you are the owner of the world but to have their service it is not that easy. I manage to persuade Lord Bai by permitting him to travel into another land for three days. It already breaches the rule of the world. They are your people but..."
"I'm not strong enough for them to give any respect to me." Mikayla sits on the ground. He needs to calm his anger.
Amory also sits but he sits on Mikayla's shoulder.
"We can't get what we want easily. Sigh!"
"Master, one day you will earn their respect." Amory tug Mikayla's hair a bit.
"You're right. One day! Amory, will you fight with me?"
"Of course! It is my pleasure to fight with you." Amory flies and took out his small spear. He looks like a little fireball. The little fire lift Mikayla's spirit and his confidence.
"We need to help others. But, how? I can't even protect myself."
"Master, start helping others by helping yourself. You are their target so save yourselves."
"Save me... Let's go to the safe point. Sitting here is not safe. Yes!"
Mikayla's wings turn black and he flies towards the north where the nearest safe point located based on the compass. During his flight, Mikayla stops because there is a battle in front of him. Amory protects him from any residue magic from the battle. Mikayla hides behind a big rock and observes the fight.
It's not that Mikayla didn't want to turn back but they didn't fight at the same place, he just blinks his eyes when they already fighting at the back and then in a second they are fighting above his head. If he moves recklessly then his head might be flying.
The battle is between a zombie and a hunter. Amory has said that both of them are Grade SS magician. Zombies are a natural battle magician. Their strong body is their biggest asset. Their intuition during battle is the top. The human magician seems like to be a beast tamer. He rode a gryphon and three flying monkeys are fighting with him. Even though the monkey is small they are fast as lightning. The zombie is having a bad time to counter the monkeys.
Time to time the human will take advantage and attack the zombie from his blind point. If it not because of the zombie experience and great intuition he likely to perish. One swing of his club has made the monkeys fly a few miles.
Zombie rush towards the human and he attacks the human but a few inches before the club land on the human head the zombie change the club direction and directly smash his club to the gryphon right wing. The human did not expect that and he is falling.
The human abandons the gryphon and fly using his magic power. They continue their battle until the monkeys come back and aid their master. The monkeys change their appearance to look alike like their master. From fighting three monkeys and one human, the zombie now facing four humans.
