Chapter 9 - Danger Island (3)

Day 2

The orange sun had just begun to creep over the horizon and birds could be heard

chirping to calm sounds of the trees rustling in the wind.

Mia jolted awake and immediately activated her gravity sphere when she noticed that

no one was there which included her comrades. She scanned the area around her and

tried to stand up but she was hit with a sharp needle like pain in her abdomen and a

slight dizziness.

She struggled to get up and huddled towards the rotting wooden door which had been

closed, using the wall as a crutch to stabilize her.

When she reached the door a pure radiant calming dusk washed over her body. She

looked to her left and saw that her party had already woken up and mostly recovered

from their injuries.

There was a deathly silence as they sat around the lit campfire with skewers holding

what seemed to be a bit a processed meat from a supply cache Mia had saw when she

dragged them here in the rain.

Just then Mia realized that her wounds were sterilized and also bandaged really well.

Mia walked over and sat down then all looked at her and let out a sigh of relief. Mia

being the team captain decided to break the silence and asked "Are you all ok?"

The first to respond was Melissa who was on the verge of tears knowing that Mia was

ok. "Yeah Mia were ok."

The Ivy cursed and said "How could me someone of royal blood lose to those weaklings

and then have our team captain get credit for taking down an entire team by herself?"

Ivy continued to swear under her breath and then Lana who had been quiet since the

beginning expressed her opinion "We lost because we didn't work as a team you guy

immediately leapt into battle and left me out on your plan when you know I can't open

my eyes."

Ivy confused as to how such a weakling like her ended up in the advanced class asked

"Why can't you open your eyes?"

Lana looked in Ivy's general direction and said "I can't open them because I see thing I'm

not supposed to see when their open"

Ivy seeming come to an understanding "Oh you're a Visionary."

Mellissa whose knowledge was lacking in the Blessings that weren't flame based asked

"What is a Visionary?"

Mia who heard it about them from Gabi said "There the most valuable people in

exploring high level tombs. Their eyes can see things that normal humans wouldn't see

like the traces of blessings. Objects which are imbued with special powers like a sword

with a flame rune attached made by a blacksmith or curses from a Necromancer. Some

even have abilities to see vital point on human bodies"

Mellissa who decided to come up with her own definition "So there basically a walking

surgeon metal detector for valuable objects. Nice."

Lana who felt excluded because her abilities were only useful inside a Ruin felt a lot

better sighed and let out a relieved smile.

Ivy who saw this realized something. Ivy thought herself to be to high class to be in a

party with these people realized that these people were very respectable in their own

ways.

Mia was the student of at least 2 high rankers.

Lana was a Visionary which was someone that even a Guild like Royalty would pay large

sums of money to recruit.

Even though Mellissa's family wasn't royalty anymore she still had royal blood and her

blessing seemed to more than she let on.

Ivy looked at her teammates with a newfound respect and let out a slight smirk.

Mellissa saw this and smiled Mia seeing that a large chuck of the party's issues had been

resolved stood up with a slight delay and said "let's head for the center of the ruin now

the other classes are there fighting for it already"

They all stood up stretched and started running in the direction of the heart of the Main

ruin where the Vase was being kept.

Outer Park

In Outer park which was bought out by Royalty for the leisure of its employees and

Guild members a deadly meeting was about to occur.

On a bench a man with some black shorts with a red and black Jacket covering his upper

body was seemingly sleeping with a straight white cap which seemed to blend well with

his jet black dreads.

The area was quiet because it was close to midnight and most workers and guild

member would have already left except for a few people.

A blonde girl who was wearing a pink Fashion Nova crop top and legging was jogging

through the park at the pace of an Olympic Sprinter running at full speed stopped and

looked at the 'civilian' and who was asleep and tapped his shoulder to wake him up

She pulled out her headphone and put her phone in her pocket after she didn't get a

response from him the first time then asked him "Excuse me sir no civilians are allowed

in this park anymore this is official property of Royalty."

The man seemed to wake up he sat up with his eyes still shut. He then stood up to the

woman in front of him and looked down at her gaze and opened his blood red eyes his

pupils seemed to cast images of death and destruction through her mind.

She looked into his eyes as if this was a common occurrence that she had seen before

seeing that his gaze had no effect on her he scoffed and began to take his shirt off and

tied it around his waist and clipped his hat onto his belt that he got from a store.

(He technically stole all this he's wearing. He walked into a store picked up these clothes

and walked out.)

She immediately saw his chiseled body and looked at his beautiful face which was a dark

caramel and watched his dreads sway in the wind and had no reaction.

But then he turned around and she saw it the demonic tattoo the tattoo on the back of

a man who could almost kill King without batting an eye she indistinctly reacted by

pulling a weapon out of a void and getting into position.

The man who was just about of walk off without any conflict sighed and turned around.

The woman who released a disgusting amount of aura looked as if she was just below

the level of King.

She asked "Who are you?"

He replied "You humans and your questions shouldn't you at least ask how I am before

you disturb me any further?"

She sensed an unfathomable amount of aura emanate from the man standing before

her and was actually surprised that King was able to withstand blows from this thing.

She shifted her blade which was a rapier and leaped forward and a split second before it

was about to pierce the center of his forehead. Her blade stopped dead in its tracks and

she looked at her arm which was being held with his middle and index finger of his right

hand.

She pulled back and collected her thoughts that attack was just to gauge his strength.

He was able to stop and attack that was able to tear down a building with 2 fingers and

was even able to react in time. She was the fastest high Ranker in the world

She put away the blade and bowed and apologized and introduced herself

"I'm Ashley turner a High ranker who's placed 12 th and the Vice President of the Royalty

Guild its nice to mean you."

He smiled and decided to play along

"Im whatever you want to call me, but most call me Death If I was a High ranker I would

be 1 st by a long shot and Im the Vice president of the Universe"

Ashley thought he was being unrealistic but he didn't seem to one to bluff so she just

went with it but as she was about to continue a flash of lightning appeared in the Sky

A Figure holding a hammer appeared.
