Chapter 26 - A Powerful Soul Meets Another Powerful Soul Pt.3

≤Author-kun Here~ Lets just do a quick recap of the story so far! Its been a while, so lets see... Originally, Mike was a white coat desk worker. Due to an unfortunate street sweeper accident, he got killed, and reincarnated as Deja Vos. His mother and father loved him very much, even going on to say he's a prodigy when he speaks at less than one, and walks around 2. Unbeknownst to them, Deja had a secret, or should I say, a [System]! His skill creation [System] is unmatched in terms of raw power, getting his souls stats up to that of a U rank adventurer before he's even born. However, that power came with a price, which is never having normalcy. He wants to live a quiet life, but trouble always seems to find him. With this, he decided to grow strong enough to protect everyone he loves so that he can be at peace. He met a dragon, by the name of Ku'lthar, who gifted him an Orb that doubles his mana pool daily. He gets caught by a Shadow devil, and sent too a lower realm, in which he escapes, but popped out in another book. What will happen next? I'll see you all once again at the end of Volume 1, A Powerful Soul. Author out, toodles~≥

The dust that rose with the hit of the Qi waves obscured the battle field, creating a visual barrier between those flying above, and Deja, Alex, and company. A lung blue haired woman, dressed in an elegant gold embroidered gown, turned to the man next to her, a brunette in a military garb, and asked quietly "Did we... do it?" In a hushed whisper, the man next to her said "It's too soon to tell."

°°°°°°°°°°°

Back on the ground, Deja and the others were faced with a dilemma. Do they: A. Fly up through the clouds and face off against the crowd above, B. Run away, or C. Wait and see what happens. Deja activated his skill {Aura Sense}, to check what the group above them was doing. His eyes widened in shock. "Alex, We have a problem!" "What?" Alex faced Deja, both of them speaking in their lowest possible tones. "All of those people up there are at or near this worlds peak, and harbor ill intention towards us!" Alex's eyes widened as well. "Shit! Why didn't I think of this. Of course 'those' people would come after us, especially with the auras we were releasing during our fight," He stared Deja in the eyes, blank faced. "Especially yours." Deja sighed and sat down onto the ground, head between his hands. To calm himself, he slowed his breathing down, and lay on the ground, eyes closed, just... thinking. Alex started to get impatient, but he knew just how much hot-headedness can harm someone. Deja's eyes flung open, and he glared into the sky. Wordlessly, he jumped, flying past the dust barrier. Alex and the others stared up in shock.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE STAYING DOWN HERE!"

°°°°°°°°°°°

The group of people above the cloud of dust floated there, staring, not willing to move away in fear that their attack failed. When nobody came out of the dust after about half an hour, some of the more hot headed members of the group moved away from their position and left, heading back to wherever they came from. The group continued to stare into the abyss of dust, waiting, and hoping not to see any movement. Just then...

"BASTARDS!!!!!" Deja flew out of the dust, speeding towards one of the many men and women hovering above. Seeing his approach, they all prepared their most powerful skills, ready to take him out. Suddenly, from the midst of the group, people started falling unconscious, and then falling to their deaths on the ground. A commotion arose, and everyone, including Deja, looked towards the center. Alex flew up, gently stretching from side to side. He turned to Deja and a horrific smile appeared on his face. "Hey Deja~ You won't take all the fun now, WILL YOU?" With that last burst of volume, Alex's killing intent radiated out of him, suffocating all those at the top. Even Deja couldn't help but be scared. Deja weekly nodded his head, his mouth dry. "Y-Yep! Go ahead and have some fun, Alex." Alex's menacing grin widened, and all the beings around him started to drop like flies. Deja got ahold of himself and joined in on the fight as well. With both of them slashing through the group, it didn't last much longer. In the end, only the blue haired woman and the brunette man remained, both trembling in fear. In their eyes, these two weren't human! To be able to mow through that many high tiered cultivators of this realm, only a Devil would be capable of that. The women started to hyperventilate, then she rushed over to the two boys, and needed in front of them.

"W-Wait! Don't kill me, please! I-I can give you any information you need!"

Deja turned to Alex. "What do ya' think, Alex?" Alex grinned maliciously. "I think she should tell us everything we need to know, Deja!" Their smiles widened as they advanced on the woman. Her eyes widened in fear. "S-STOP!"
