Chereads / Darkness takes over : The wings unfurl / Chapter 3 - He appeared again

Chapter 3 - He appeared again

On the streets of the city of beginnings, core area, floor 1,

A seven and a half foot figure wearing a red coloured hoodie skimmed through the streets leisurely.

He did not stop once, Even though weird gazes fell on his terrifying mask (pic).

He walked through the main roads, small, unimportant roads and even the narrow alleyways. His venture showed his knowledge of the city as if he knew every nook and corner. On his way, never once did he meet a soldier. Patrol routes and checkpoints, he knew it all.

At the end of his three-hour long path, he stood at a place, waiting for someone. He was sure that someone would come.

...

Green willow forest,

" Captain, the criminal had a strong murky aura of death around him,"

The captain looked at the B-rank scout, " You already mentioned this, Mr Archillius,"

" Yes, until now, I could not trace this aura, but now I can sense it, 124 kilometres away from here, in the city," he stated. (Pic)

" You can sense it that far?" The captain asked, dumbfounded.

" I won't lie. I am not that skilled. I was able to do this only because of a device given by the Nexus family, particularly for this mission,"

' What? Is this boy favoured so much by the Nexus family?' The captain's face could not hide the shock.

" Hurry up, let's go, get the wagons ready," The captain shouted.

" No, that will take a lot of time," Archillius injected some arcane energy into his storage ring and took out a bike.

It was a black bike that hovered in the air. (Pic)

" This is just a prototype, but, we can use it for now, I guess," he said.

" I cannot guarantee your life, though," He added softly at the end.

The captain had no choice.

" Let's go,"

" It will take three minutes. Hold on tight,"

๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ

๐˜™๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ณ

๐˜™๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ณ

The start of the bike's engine almost gave the captain a heart attack.

" The fuck is... put me dow-"

๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ

He was not able to speak after that. The bike flew at an unimaginable speed.

The cold breeze touching the skin felt like ice crystals were piercing.

It flew at an altitude of 500-600 feet above the ground.

They skipped the treacherous forest path and arrived at the city within minutes.

While they were still in the air, Archillius told the captain, " He has been at the exact location for a long time. I think it is safer to tail him from the sky,"

After getting the captain's approval, Archillius steered the bike to the location at a slow speed

" Is that him? The red hoodie guy? He is tall, as per the boy's report,"

" Yeah, I think it is him,"

The suspected culprit was chilling, leaning on a wall, reading a magazine.

Then, suddenly, he looked up and waved his hands.

" What? Did he find us? Impossible," Archillius freaked.

" A picture... fast," Archillius rushed the captain, making him take his camera.

The guy who wore the red hoodie was under no pressure. He even had the nerve to show his middle finger and pose for the camera.

" Fucking Arrogant Bastard," Archillius cursed.

The next moment, the red hoodie submerged into the ground, disappearing right in front of watching eyes.

" How did he do it?" The captain shouted.

" More than that, why did he do it? After a long time, I could sense him, but suddenly I could, and now I can't again," Archillius tried to analyse the situation but did not get any idea.

" He purposefully revealed his position to lure us out. It might be a trap. Let us escape from here for now,"

...

" Alvis-Sama, it is time," She said.

An elegant young man faced a mirror, adjusting his silky clear white hair. His gleaming light blue eyes were fierce as ever,

his black hoodie and golden earrings made his Beaty stand out even more.

He approached the woman, running his hands through her soft purple hair and looked straight into her eyes, " Am I beautiful, sweetie," he asked. (Pic)

๐˜‰๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ

" Alvis-Sama is always a delight to my eyes," she meekly answered.

She regained her composure and said, " Alvis-Sama wanted to go to the first floor a week before the test, right? It's time now." (pic)

" Let's go,"

They stepped out of an enormous white palace, the residence of one of the direct descendants of the Axel family, Alvis Axel.

" Status," Alvis and Anne said together.

Out of thin air, a blue screen appeared in their vision.

" Teleport us to the first floor,"

Their body slowly withered, and there was no sign of their existence on floor 50.

...

A girl rushed forward, searching for a particular clinic. Her eyes overflowed with emotions as she neared it.

" Girl, why are you in a hurry. Is it an emergency?" The receptionist queried on her entry.

" No,"

๐˜๐˜ถ๐˜ง๐˜ง

๐˜๐˜ถ๐˜ง๐˜ง

" An eighteen-year-old boy with pitch black eyes, long eyelashes and a pretty face, is he here?"

" Oh, him, he just got discharged,"

The girl banged her fist against the receptionist's table,

๐˜Š๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฌ

๐˜Š๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ

Breaking it in the process.

" I, I am sorry," the girl sprinted outside in the hopes of finding Zeus if he was nearby.

" He might have gone to the market," the receptionist shouted.

" Thank you,"

" Zeus! Zeus!" At the top of her voice, she screamed. Every person in the market stared at her, but she did not care. All she wanted was to find him.

๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ด

A shrill voice resonated through the loud marketplace. It was very familiar.

It made Zeus's memories resurface.

He heard that voice again.

" Zeus! Are you here?"

' No way! No fucking way!' Zeus did not expect this.

He turned back swiftly, " Jenny?"

Zeus saw her, a woman with white hair and blood red eyes. (pic)

" Jenny?"

" Is that you, bookworm?"

Zeus lowered his head and had mixed feelings.

' Out of all of them, she survived?'

' This sick woman,'

Jenny approached him, " Big sis won't bully you anymore. You don't need to worry, Zeus,"

' Oh Lord, have mercy on me,' Zeus gulped.
