The hall was silent, still and dark. For a wolf like him, however, easily, the movement inside it could be detected. He was lucky to see it firsthand and pushed the rest of them outside of the door.The current situation is so dreadful. “You know it’s no use to use blackout tactics on people like me, right?” He delved his hand into the back pocket and tightened the grip on the dagger’s handler.Even after willingly exposing his position, the people inside stayed stagnant.He snorted at the ridiculous situation. “I can smell y’all and more importantly…” His nose raised in the air. “... my wife…” The glint of his eyes changed. If he was alone, the possibility of him staying alive was close to zero but if his wife was here… if Lily was here… it would be a game changer. If his calculation was correct, that’s it.He sniffed the air. Something was wrong. It was potent in the air. He hated it. Something dear to him. As to torment him, to torture him.Someone switched on the biggest lamp
“Indeed.” That friendly voice responded.“You… you…” Finn recognized him while gasping for air, head tremblingly raised to look closely at the snake. “I recognize… you.”The snake tilted his head. “Oh, you do? Interesting.” It stood on its tail before the snake-magma expanded and transformed into a fine man in his early 30s – wearing his formal attire and a beret on his head. “You…” Finn was lost for words, and the bulb inside his brain started to blink rapidly.The color of the snake was similar to the engraved statue on the gateway. His head snapped at the gateway 30 steps away from him. The craft-long snake that used to have been there ever since a couple of weeks ago disappeared.The only thing left was the burn area around it. “Mother… the snake craft…” A bucket of sweat trickled down his back body. “The engraving snake!!”The queen felt the dreadful lump inside her throat, blocking her airway, and choking her. She shook his head vehemently in denial.“This… this is not… I don’
The lightless building was filled with metal and blood smell everywhere. The silent killers marched forward, eyeing the prey everywhere they went, guns pointed to the front.(Mad, where art thou?)Captain’s voice penetrated his ears as soon as the gunfire ceased. He was still outside the building, waiting for any say from Mad who was already inside with the rebels.‘Still in the middle of the building. I’ve already marked my path. Can just find it once you enter. Oh, where are my babies? It’s been more than 15 minutes. Still can't find their beautiful eyes anywhere.’Mad, however, monologue and let Captain read his thoughts because it was easier that way. He couldn’t risk exposing his ass if he was talking into the intercom.(Ugh. They are in. A few minutes ago.) Mad literally heard the rolling eyes from Captain. The man was done with his demanding ass.‘Well, sorry to annoy you, ha ha ha. But, if you want to end this on a good note, better listen to my request, Captain.’(And, I did
“Oh, I will, my dear.” Hadi winked at him.Truth speaking, Mad was kind of blushing. Aside from Shadow, Hadi was the second one to call him dear. His wife called him my love. It was a little bit intimate and he liked it. Or, at least that was what he thought,“My retina’s color is Atomic Tangerine. Do you know what the eye color indicated it as?” He summoned his restored mana inside his heart.His heart started to glow, the eye soon followed before the entire body glowing beautifully following the color of his eyes.Mad, however, shook his head. “In my world, the unusual eye or hair color was due to the experiments. Like me. My red hair. I love blood.”Hadi visibly gasped, not because he witnessed the red hair – Mad still remained camouflage form – but because he was shocked at his tendency.“I’ll show you my hair later.” Mad coughed.“I’m not shocked about that but the other– anyway, my eye color indicates my cleverness.” He smirked at his own sentence and continued. “And my ability
“Thank you.” He proceeded almost instantly. “We are ready.”His power coated their bodies quickly.“Wow…” The purple-eyed lady blinked in astonishment while the brother next to her held both her and the other sister’s hands tightly.“We are ready.”“You know the drill, guys.” Mad revealed his body to Hadi. “Hadi!”In awe, he nodded his head. This wasn’t the time to be impressed. “I’m ready.”The brother proceeded to hug the two sisters tightly and protected their faces from any possible impact.He looked around and knocked on the wall. “This is the perfect place. Say, is this the center of the building?”“We’re not. But we are in the middle of the lower building, yes. If you want the center, we must rush two levels above.”Mad scoffed. “Doesn’t matter. As long as we are in the middle of the building. The impact will be covered at least a one-kilometer radius away.”“Yes, what?”He took outside the lighter that he brought along. “Now!” He commanded instead of answering him.Sweeping al
Captain squeezed his chest, waiting patiently even though his mind had played his trauma thousands of times in only three seconds he was on the terrace.Tap!Hisoka landed next to him, abandoning his original post. His long arms squished Captain’s wrist but his presence wasn’t acknowledged at all. Captain was too occupied with the situation his members were currently into care about others.“Captain… Minjoon.” Hisoka peeled off the leather glove and placed his warm palm on Captain’s eyes and brushed it from there to the back of his head. His action was to gather Captain’s thoughts back and snap him back to reality.“They will be okay.” He blew into his ear.Still, Captain didn’t respond. So, he wrapped his free hand around Captain’s body and enveloped him in the warmest hug that he deserved. He rubbed his head a few times and massaged his temple along the process.“They’ll be okay, they’ll be okay.”“What if they don’t?” His trauma started to kick in.‘Shit! Mad!’Hisoka knew how c
Mad shook his head, blinking his eyes rapidly to adjust to the dark atmosphere surrounding him. The pain wasn’t as intense as he thought but he still found himself under the ruin, still. Judging by the aura around them, Hadi was unconscious a few meters away from him.“Ugh!” He groaned.His hand quickly found the core of the walls above and pushed it to the side as he rose from the ground.Crack!He cracked his neck, his body full of dust everywhere. Then, something interesting happened. Hisoka made a long speech about something that he didn’t understand. Not to mention, the atmosphere inside the intercom was too gloomy.“Ugh! What’s going on? Why is everyone gloomy?” He strode toward Hadi.(Mad!)Everyone automatically scolded him by just calling his name.“What?” He pulled Hadi out from the piles of concrete, raising his brow in confusion.(You owe Mandrills an apology.)Hisoka’s authoritative voice left no room for him to argue.“What? Why?” He cringed at the thought alone.PAP!H
Malikul landed next to Hadi, extending his hand at the man. “Hello, I’m the crown prince of this damn kingdom.”Hadi’s jaw slacked open. His eyes fluttered in surprise before he shook his head and received that precious hand and shook it. “Ha– Hadi… the rebel leader…”“Of course.” Malikul nodded briefly. His eyes had traveled to the other side and a lazy smile latched on his face. “After years of searching, he is over there.” He said in a flat tone.The man with green eyes stood next to him, flexing his blue-ish wings coated with gold-ish lines at every edge of the wings. He rested his arm on Malikul’s shoulder.“The man in the picture!” He exclaimed.The man was a bit dashing but as handsome as Malikul. “Picture?” Hadi was instantly healed by the healer in Malikul’s party. Most of Hadi’s healers needed a self-recovery before they could even heal any of themselves. Ironically, most of them were also inside the building, so they also received the impact. None of them were dead, of co
