Chereads / Attack On The Ackerman / Chapter 23 - The Beginning of Revian's Demise

Chapter 23 - The Beginning of Revian's Demise

Growing up as a young child the youngest of 5 siblings Revian was overlooked most of his childhood, first was his paleness, no matter the amount of sunlight he got from playing outside he still looked pale and white this scared the children in the little town he grew up in making human outcast.

Even his own family nobody cared about him because of how different he was. The thing is Revian was a dreamer, a very big dreamer but all his life he had only seen poverty and mediocrity everywhere he went. Growing up as a child he never held back from telling his siblings and parents of the big dreams he had for his life, he knew he was going to do great things but nobody ever believed in him.

Uncountable times Revian was told to his as a young boy "Arg?! Go do something else you'll never become that!" "You better settle for this or you'll suffer out there!" "You'll never amount to anything! Never!"

Revian with time grew cold towards his family and the people of the town forgetting all about his dreams and goals to be someone great in the world.

As he grew older around 13 years of age Ackermans started appearing in his town, They were the first gen of Ackermans, that protected the town from arms and attacks from neighboring enemies,

News quickly spread about the appearances of this new awakening and soon they started getting the recognition and fame of "heroes" across the world.

Silently, Revian watched this new set of humans and studied them soon he realized that these were not so fun or amazing powers

In his eyes, they were pretty useless and there was some truth to that, that was the first gen of Ackermans had no free will, literally speaking. They didn't do anything unless told to, eat sleep, fight, talk. So, Revian had a good reason for not being amazed by the Ackermanian power that was until he became one.

Revian became an Ackerman at the age of 19, during the times of the awakening of the second gen of Ackermans, he was shocked at the difference in power and strength he had compared with the Ackermans back home.

Living in the city now on his way to a conventional life, Revian meets Eledia whom he falls in love with instantly but is afraid to confess his love to her, the reason being that everyone so far in his life was against him and cut him at the knees every time but that didn't stop him because he was a man now, he eventually confesses his love to her and Eledia accepts him for who he is,

She was the only one who created a safe space for him to be himself and to receive love but his heart only grew warm towards her and only her, for the rest of the world his heart had completely turned cold after years of being together Revian decides to step away from the path of the status quo life and enter into the path of revenge.

When he became an Ackerman, like the heavens were for him, Eledia was his Head,

Eventually, they started this journey they've been on for the past 6 years, taking everything it away from humanity and turning their backs against it just like how the world turned its back against them.

But their journey was soon to come to an end and the week started with the death of Eledia and her child.

...

During the first week of the raid after the three months break, the army of Ackermans attacked one of the villages in one of the countries of Neda, in the dead of the night an entire village was wiped out, and also neighboring villages, which were 12 villages in total.

Just vampires, they attacked the whole country from the outer walls, the towns, small villages, and other residents and within three days the army of Revian was closing on the central part of the country, which at the time was like the city of the country, but Revian made the mistake of attacking the city.

The night before the attack, Revian had a word with Eledia who had been fighting all this while with other Ackermans unknowingly while being pregnant.

"I'm going to need to ask you to stay back here tomorrow," Revian said to Eledia who was wrapped in his arms tightly and resting on his chest,

"Why? Don't you want me to join your raid tomorrow?"

"No, it's not that, It's not going to be safe tomorrow the first gens are on to us and they might take you away" Revian explained and kissed her on the head

Eledia rolls her eyes at him and agrees, "Fine, I won't Besides I've been feeling quite unwell for the past hour so I might need a break "

"Haha, I thought you might argue with me like last time" Revian laughed.

But Eledia didn't respond, she had fallen asleep on the bed with him, Revian got up from the bed and put out the lights before going back to sleep.

The next day, Revian leaves the villa-like home that he and Eledia lived in together and ventures out to the city he was to raid later that evening.

He sent some guards over to the house to protect Eledia from any enemy that might attack her to kill him.

Revian arrives at the underground meeting where he meets with his subordinates and plans out the attack on the city.

He sent some guards over to the house to protect Eledia from any enemy that might attack her to kill him.

Revian arrives at the underground meeting where he meets with his subordinates and plans out the attack on the city. There in the underground bunker, 8 of the men and women that were assumed the strongest including Revian sat around a circular wooden table with a close ceiling to their heads, A lantern hung above their heads and a huge map was spread on the table. The map had diagrams of

trails, seaports, airways, and countries highlighted in red and blue, several black chess pawns were placed on conquered lands, and lands to be conquered were circled in red marker. There at the center of the continent of Neda X marks the spot of the city they were to raid later that evening.

"Tonight we have to be extremely careful, the first Ackermans are onto us like never before" Revian begins. "As we all know we have to stay away from these three Ackermans, Roda, King, and Yasmine they are the strongest in the first gen Any, any attack from them and we're done for" Revian pulls out a picture of each of the three persons he warns his subordinates of.

"Each of you has 5 teams of 3 members each under your watch, wherever I designate you, make sure to completely annihilate the whole area"

"Chris, Wain, and Sahara you guys should start heading south in the city and progress towards the center of the town and meet us and the top of the center clock tower, Fesha, and Gemma you guys take your troop to the East and meet and the center clock tower as well, Suga and Huber, you guys should proceed from the west and do like the rest, while I shall raid the entire Northern hemisphere of the city"

"Any questions?"

"I have a question!" Sahara raised her hand,

"You can speak"

"Why are you raiding the entire Northern Hemisphere by yourself? Isn't that a bit selfish"

Revian raised an eyebrow at the question, he shook his head slowly and replied as if to say, 'You haven't learned a lesson', "Aren't I the strongest in this room?" Chills went down the spine of Sahara, and a deafening silence echoed across the room, no one dared to question Revian's strength. He looks pale, skinny, and bony but he is extremely strong killing him won't be easy even for a first gen Ackerman.

"That's What I thought"

The meeting was adjourned immediately after that and just as planned the 7 Ackerman with their teams went out to the city.

Each Ackerman had 15 members allocated to them, so if there were two Ackermans leading there would be 30 members in their troop, if there were three Ackermans leading there would be 45 members in their troop, so in total there were 105 Ackermans that were going to raid the city, if the seven strongest Ackerman were to be added there would be 112 Ackermans attacking the city.

The North Parth of the City would be taken down by Revian alone, the south would be taken down by 45 Ackermans including Chris, Wain, and Sahara, 30 Ackermans including Fesha and Gemma would be taken down the east, the west would be take down by 30 Ackermans including Suga and Huber.

It was their grand master plan.

Little did they know they were in for a big surprise.

...

7 O'clock in the evening, the sun was setting and clouds were gathering up in the night sky, the street lights of the city began to switch on, and little carriages driven by horses were being driven on the concrete roads of the city,

"It's going to be a rainy night isn't it Gemma?" Fesha turned to his subordinate to express his complaint, they were at the rooftop of one of the houses on the eastern side of the city, Gemma sat down on the roof close to the edge, she rested her chin on her palm as if to be bothered by something. "Gemma?" Fesha raised an eyebrow at his subordinate, Gemma let out a sigh and shook her head, "Let's just get this over with before the first gens come" Then, she jumped down from the roof to the ground, "Oh...okay... " Fesha hurriedly jumps down after her.

But when he gets down he does not see her, he looks left and right and still does not see her, "Gemma!" Fesha ran towards a dark alley with brick walls, and he saw trails of blood, Getting on one knee he sniffed the blood and took a taste, His eyes got wide open, and Fesha's hands began to tremble in fear that the worst might have happened to her. "No...no no no no we've not even started yet" Fesha jumped up to a roof and began to chase the scent of Gemma whilst thinking to himself, 'How strong must that Ackerman be to have taken Gemma down so fast, gosh I'm not even as strong as she is"

Fesha continued running on the roofs of buildings until he came across a particular alley, there he saw the pink rose pin that belonged to Gemma "That's..." Fesha jumps down right in front of the pin, Slowly he gets on his two knees and picks up the pin, as he stands back up he looks ahead of him and sees a dead end "What? where did she go then?"

CRASH! A huge hole had formed where Fesha was standing it was a defense move to protect himself from an incoming attack that was coming from two people.

"shit! two vs. one? Can't you be a bit fair?!" Fesha jumps out of the hole with veins growing on his arms, Fesh dashes toward the two people with an incoming punch CRASH! When the dust of the impact cleared up there was a huge hole in the wall and the two people that attacked were not even scarred! "Huh?" Fesha blinked his eyes open to realize that he was not on the ground "Kulgh!" Fesha coughs out a huge amount of blood whilst falling from the air, CRASH! Fesha falls to the ground with so much force that the ground around him shakes!

One of the people who had attacked him walks slowly towards his weakened body, but before Fesha could pick up his step and attack back, the dark figure grabs him by the hair and crushes his face against the concrete ground, the first time didn't do much damage to Fresha's face since his facial muscles and bones were extremely tough, but his face was smashed to the ground 20 times!

At that point, Fesha's face was disfigured, he practically bleeding from his forehead and chin, and his skin was scrapped off with so much force his jaw bones were sticking out, Fesha was out of breath, and he couldn't feel much pain but he knew he was going struggle to survive to get out this crazy fight.

"King... I think he's gone now" A childish voice spoke up, It was the second person, a boy of about age 11, with short curly brown hair and dark brown eyes, his eyes were teary at the scene he had just witnessed, "Master... shall I continue?".

'Wait... that's... a kid?' Fesha thought, coming from the sound of the voice of the two people speaking, they were not adults, it seemed there was a kid of about age 11 and another of 16, "No King, tie him up and bring him back to the others, make sure he doesn't run away" "Understood"

"And if he tries or does flee, kill him immediately"

The person who attacked Fesha was a first gen, Ackerman, his name was King, and his head was his younger brother, Momoh, Apparently, they were part of the group who also came to attack them on the east side and were successful in taking the leader of the troop at the east which Fesha and Gemma.

"Hey, tell me... who are you?" Fesha said in a defeated voice

"Huh?" The little turned his face around to look at Fesha and smiled

"I'm a hero you dummy haha, come on King we got to catch up with the others" The little boy continued to walk ahead of them whilst jumping and laughing, Fesha was carried by King could only look at the little kid and cry. "Hero... pathetic," Fesha said under his breath.

...

SPLASH! TAP TAP TAP! "Revian! Revian!" A voice came running across the street, It was Sahara, and a fellow Ackerman came running towards Revian who was just coming out of a neighborhood he had just raided, was stunned to see Sahara and another Ackerman running towards him with worried faces, he looked up at the sky and sees smoke and flames up ahead, thinking they might have succeeded in their raid he was a bit confused when he saw their worried faces.

"What's wrong?" He asks calmly, Sahara tries to speak up but she is taken aback by the pain in her side, she has been stabbed with poison. Revian flinched at the sight of that and was even more terrified at the news of the other Ackerman, "My lord, Fesh, and Gemma have been kidnapped!" "What?!" Revian exclaimed in anger, "How is that possible?" Just then another fellow Ackerman came running towards Revian but this time with horrible news.

"What is it this time?!" Revian was pissed off by another person coming to tell him, what seems to be another plan falling apart but it was far from what he expected, just then Revian noticed that it was the guard from home, now his heart was shaken at the thought of something might have happened to Eledia

"Sir! It's Eledia! She's bleeding heavily!"

"She's dying!"
