Dellon frowned, "Astral? Why did you ask about that?"
"If you ask my opinion, I can say that I believe that the Astral still exists today. The world outside the major cities has yet to be fully explored and there are still many unexplored places"
"Especially after the war in the past, I'm sure there are many souls of war soldiers"
"But, it's been centuries, I've lived for almost 40 years and I still have never seen that Astral figure directly. At least I've seen it in history books" Dellon shook his head.
Zach listened to Dellon's opinion carefully, then after a few moments, he gripped his hat tightly. "Tonight, Astral will appear at the gate" Zach announces.
Dellon frowned and lowered the corners of his lips. He was surprised to hear Zach's statement. "Astral appeared at the gate? Where did you get such false information?"
Zach held his head "I saw it with my own head.." Zach explained everything related to what he experienced except for the problem regarding Vilion.
After all, Vilion was his teammate. If you say everything then it will make Him alone the loss. Who can believe that?.
Astrals are shadow creatures created from the decaying souls of the dead, at least that's what the public knows. Zach also believed that until he saw the surviving Vilion instantly Astral.
After a long explanation given by Zach, Dellon leaned back and massaged his forehead. "Mmm, as you can see, I have a lot of work to do. Why are you telling me that joke..." Dellon complained.
"After all, if what you said is true, then isn't it impossible to stop it? You said that the Astral you saw massacred all the gatekeepers and even the police, How to stop that Astral if it really is..." Dellon couldn't help but wonder. take Zach's word for granted.
Zach just remembered, it's the right thing. Because of the many thoughts that were going through his head at the moment, Zach forgot about it. Astral massacred the entire gatekeepers and even the police who were the city's protectors.
If the gate guards and police alone couldn't stop the Astral Vilion then there was no way to stop it.
"Mmm, at least enjoy your last time with your wife if you think the Astral is really going to show up" Dellon picked up a small bag on the table and put on his hat while standing.
"I have a meeting, come back" Dellon tapped Zach's shoulder.
"Captain, this is serious. At least there must be something to do, otherwise the city will be in danger"
Dellon just sighed, "That might just be your dream. On the first night of our marriage, we often had nightmares," Dellon said leaving the room.
Zach fell silent, holding his head and grinding his teeth. "I can't convince the captain!" Zach clenched his fists. Walk out of the room.
Go down the stairs and reach the first floor. Zach walked with his head down while continuing to look for ways to prevent the terrible events he knew would happen.
As soon as he took a step, a familiar voice greeted him, "Zach?"
Zach turned his head, Ben and Kyle were seen waving, Ben walked quickly over to Zach. His black eyes were so excited, while Kyle do behind him walked more slowly.
Zach forced a smile. Seeing the faces of his two comrades always reminded him of the first terrible incident. After calming down, he said back, "Ben, Kyle, how are you?"
Ben patted Zach's shoulder while covering his mouth and whispered into Zach's ear, "Because you weren't there, all your work was delegated to me. You have to treat me for it"
Kyle looked at Ben suspiciously "Stop that, oh yeah, what are you doing here?" Kyle arrived in front of Zach.
Zach scratched his head, not knowing what to say. After a while, a familiar came from the direction Ben and Kyle had come from.
A blonde man with disheveled hair, He wears a gray shirt and black belt. His eyes were glazed and dark green. It's Vilion!
Zach was stunned for a few seconds, the terrible incident at his house just entered Zach's brain. Makes him feel like throwing up. Vilion greeted kindly "Zach... Aren't you on leave?"
Zach didn't know what expression to make. However from what his eyes saw, Vilion was acting more normally. Not wanting to create too much attention, Zach just smiled and said in an almost trembling voice "There's something I need to confirm with the captain"
Hearing Zach's words, Ben joked a bit, "Mmm, do you consult..." Ben slightly nudged Zach's arm.
"You guys, what are you doing here? Isn't your shift guarding at night?"
Zach tried to act normal.
"I don't know, the captain called us. Looks like there's a meeting going on" Ben sighed and relaxed his body as if he didn't want to move.
Due to running out of time, Ben, Kyle and Vilion soon separated from Zach. Zach who came out of the gatekeeper's office sighed occasionally glancing at Vilion and the others who were walking behind him up the stairs to the second floor.
"Convincing the captain didn't work, how is this?"
After walking for a long time, He suddenly thought of something, "How about leaving the city?" Zach looked serious.
Although it will also be difficult having to convince Emma and Zach's in-laws to get out of the city of Obsidia. a few kilometers west of Obsidia is a neutral city known as the city of Amethyst. The city which is commonly referred to as the city of flowers, is a place for young brides to spend their holiday time.
Considering that He just got married, it must be fine for Emma. But the problem was with her in-laws. "Mr and Mrs Franciss, they will definitely refuse if I invite them" Zach started to think about the nature of his in-laws.
Stone road, on the left and right side of the housing simple houses. On the street, some people do their usual activities. Zach reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a metal arrow necklace.
He stared at it as he walked straight, intending to return to the house. But suddenly from an alley, a young woman in a brown dress and a wide-brimmed hat bumped into Zach. The woman fell along with some of her belongings.
Zach was surprised and reflexively apologized, "I'm sorry young lady..." Zach sat down and helped the woman tidy up her things.
It was a cardboard box filled with old books. One of them is picked up by Zach and accidentally reads the title. "Astral Slayer Warrior"
Zach stared at the book stunned for a few moments. Until the young woman also apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't see when I ran." The woman saw Zach's expression, which seemed to be interested in the brown book that He was holding.
The woman glanced at her and excitedly said, "Did you like that book too? It's a book written by Dwayne Clourfuss. My favorite historian." The girl subconsciously took out another book written by the same author from the box she was carrying.
Zach looked at the books the girl took out and nothing caught his eye. He only stared at the cover of the brown book in his hand before opening it slowly.
Zach is shocked to read the first section of the book, "The Origin of Astral Beings!"
Zach turned the pages one by one and read the gist of the first chapter of the book.
"The fragrance of flowers, the sound of rain, the cool breeze. Everything is protected by guardians from the threat of shadow creatures that devour sanity. Raging and becoming the foremost human in the middle of a crazy world. Guardians subdue shadow creatures called astral with their limited abilities. What awe that is not limited!"
