" What the fuck is going on? Are you alright!? Answer me!" The first thing that Milo heard after the dust settled was his radio blaring excessively with Cyra screaming into it like a madman.
" Answer the radio Kid." Suddenly Milo heard Noah's voice from behind didn't even noticing when he got behind him.
" Uh, huh?" Milo was too awestruck seeing Noah's sleek apperance up close to resister what he said to him but he soon recovered because Cyra was relentless.
She was even threatening to abandoned the mission and come look for him, if he didn't give her a signal. It seemed seeing the huge explosion put her over the edge as only they had something so big that could explode.
She didn't know what Milo did but it had to be his doing there was no other explanation even when Milo didn't have that amount of explosives on him. It was physically impossible!
" Miss C-Cyra, I am fine. The explosion was something unplanned because Mr Noah came to save me annihilating the whole settlement in the process."
" That bastard is awake? How?" Cyra was shocked to hear such a news. From his injuries, it was her who gave a timeline of two to three days factoring in his weird rapid healing.
" I don't know what I deserved to be curse like this but please be careful for the next leg of your mission. From what I can tell the enemies that you were sent to spy have already started moving upstream. They might slow down after such a show but this time they have couple of special people with them." Noah snatched the radio and gave Cyra a warning.
When he scanned, he did it for several kilometres. It was a fraction of a fraction of his orginal power but when it woke up, it needed to asses the situation which seriously took a toll on both their souls.
That's when he found out most of the things about the mountain bit sadly Noah wasn't awake so it couldn't say anything to him.
" What the hell are you saying? And why do I find you are speaking in a weird tone? Milo are you serious with this?"
Milo screamed telling her it was really him. Nova sighed and said," Just follow my advice. Try to contain them but retreat when they reach this area. They would need to inspect what really happened here which would give us some valuable days."
Nova didn't say anything else and simply turned off Milo's radio. It lifted the kid in it's arm in a princess carry and began ascending into the air making it way back to the base camp
Cyra on the other hand found there was no answer, she tried and tried again only to see she wasn't receiving any signals meaning they were already out of range!
" I will show him what it means like to give orders to me!" Cyra gritted her teeth in anger but she still remembered his advance and slowed down her speed to better hear for any sounds of marching enemies.
Sure enough within couple of minutes, she saw a trail of bushes and vegetations being overturned and the loud thumping of what seemed like hundreds of people moving briskly.
Special people in Noah's eyes must mean that this time they would be fighting against their own kind, sorcerers. Knights were also powerful but there weren't many of them and those that were wouldn't lower their prestige enough to follow a town lord's son.
She was well travelled and her master had told her many things about how the factions operated. There were many underworld guilds that would hire sorcerers that have committed a crime and would pay them handsomely for missions.
Maybe it was one of them, nonetheless, Cyra needed to be careful because she didn't know what type of powers the enemy would have.
Since there was more than one of them, she might not be able to face them since she too relied on Bijan to besiege her enemies.
He might be dumb and ignorant but he was a very skilled fighter perfectly coordinating with her speed and suppressing any heavy attack with his earth element. They were a dynamic duo no matter how much she would tey to deny it in public!
" Since they are already here, I could just follow them from behind and see their real strengths." She thought. Her original mission was to reach the enemy stronghold at the base of the mountain but the situation had changed now. She was careful with her movement and always stayed one step behind the enemy.
Meanwhile, Nova had already reached the cliff carrying Milo in his arms. They left the remaining traps as it could be disrupt enemy forces but it could also hurt Cyra on her way back.
Milo wanted to warn her but Nova only gave hima shrug and bestowed him with some 'high' level knowledge like how everyone and everything have their own destiny and fate. If she was foolish enough to trip such primitive traps set uo by a kid the. she might not deserve to be called a human!
Milo thought it was insane but Nova had this weird charm about him giving him historical depiction of people that he had never heard off. In the end the kid had to shut up and accept it only to find Nova grinning beneath his smile.
Maybe it didn't notice that the visor was extra transperant in direct sunlight but Milo was sure he saw right!
That's when he realized that Nova was just being petty because she talked rudely to him earlier on the radio. If he wasn't sure earlier, he was sure now that Noah he knew wasn't that kind of person!
The Noah infront of him reminded him more like when he was dealing with Tang, the most stuck up from their team! For some reason he was thankful that she was injured enough so that she couldn't come with them or else he was sure she would have sacrificed herself for the 'greater' good while facing those monsters!
