“Run!” Lekan echoed out again. He knew fear. He always knew fear. But this time, it was on a whole different level than usual. This time, he had the lives of three people in his hand. Four if you counted Keder, although he was not sure what her affiliation was at the moment. Though, one thing was clear. Keder was scared. Just like him. He could use that. He sighed, his legs pumping out on maximum energy. He had to get out of here. He knew they had to get out of here. The thoughts in his head were not more different from the thoughts in the head of the others. Judging from how the lawyer ran and Keder, it was easy to see that they all had one mind. Which was good. Until the table turned again. “Ack!: Lekan cried out. The sudden shearing of pain ripping through his limbs stalled him. He paused, coughing out blood. His stomach hurt terribly as his body bent over, his entire insides howling from the intense pain that overtook him. “Run..” He panicked. The whips caught hi
However, Lekan had other thoughts. ‘ It was his fault. And it was up to him to fix it. The pain that dug at his arms and his legs are enough motivation for him. He gritted his teeth, flinching at the effort he placed in doing that. He locked eyes with the pot bellied bully, ignoring the hapless expression of Keder and the desperate silent plea for him to break camp and escape. This would not be over, until he made it so. The man who effortlessly took care of the Returning Man was out for him. And that enough was clear. “AMIHANNNNN!” Lekan roared out, throwing out his arms to the side. The Pot bellied man tilted his head, his pupils dilating in excitement at this. He was curious about what happened next. And made no effort to hide it. Lekan didn't care much about it. There was only one trump card which he had. And although he did not like using it, it was clear that this was the only option he had at this moment. Letting Amihan take over. His desperate roar split his foc
He had no reason to stay but he stayed. His mind was lit ablaze by the tenacity of the mind of his prey. Or the mind of the one person who he was grooming. The fact that Lekan would want to undergo the most tasking of challenges was fun for him to witness. And although it irked him in some way, he knew it would not be long, Soon enough, he would have the pound of flesh that he was after. And this game he played would be gone. If only Lekan had been strong when he met him. Perhaps, this would have been over soon. Void thought these thoughts with a smile on his face. As usual, his face was calm, despite the little smile playing on it. He had patience. He definitely had a lot of it. And soon enough, it would pay out all too well for him. The only thing he had to make sure to happen was prevent Lekan from getting extinguished before then. “Ah! Are you not going to do something now?” Void mentioned to Lekan with concern in his voice, Even though he could not wait for Lekan to g
“We have a situation. Mobile officers on duty report to the Radjo Warehouse in immediate effect. Multiple casualties and strange occurrences happening over there.” The radio button on the mobile unit police man’s bike boomed out just then. The man riding it stopped, frowning lightly as he lifted the visor of his helmet up. One look at the radio button showed how very puzzled he was on the subject matter. “Radjo Warehouse?” He frowned even deeper now. “But that place has been dressed for some time now. What would be there now?” He asked nobody else. Officer Charles was a very meticulous man. He never liked to leave things to chance and at the same time, he ;ie to be very thorough with what he was assigned to. It was one of the reasons why he was everywhere as a mobile police officer on a motor bike.It was indeed a rare occurrence to see policemen on bikes in this part of the country being that the bikes are not highly valued by the force men. That is, the rate of preserving mo
“Call me doom.the unifier of all systems.” the pot bellied man said with a smile on his face the first words he had ever spoken in this place. Beattie paused on this. Leslie and Frank didn't share the same thoughts with her “And so what?” Leslie yelled at him. Her body started to glow just then as purple markings grew out on the fingers and her neck. She had a maddened look on her face as she glared at the man with despisement in her eyes. She’d had enough of this man and the guts he had in dealing with Lekan this way. Her what throbbed with the pain in seeing him in this state. It reminds her so bitterly of Frank and the fact that he and Lee had been involved in a nearly death match some days back. A memory which she did not want to recall now. All the same it was annoying for her. she had not seen Lekan in so long a time and this was the first sight of him she was coming to? Certainly not the one she approved of. It was infuriating to see him in this state. The same L
“So is it time you thought about my offer, boy?’ The loud voice of Amihan in Lekan’s Subspace boomed just then. It was loud and clear. Telling him with a distinct voice to take action. An action on which he had been clearly advised not to take. He bit down on his lower lip, his vision shaky. His eyes set forward. With trembling limbs and wobbly arms, he considered the odds before him. The odds of him getting out there to get a hold of Keder. Right before any of this went messy. It was sure going to be. There was the boy who he had seen with Leslie. And there was Leslie. Plus this new woman in this place. Even if he did not know what the man in the brown suit was capable of, he had a fair idea of what was going to happen here. Unless this doom man was way stronger than the lots of them, he was going to be out down. And in the midst of this. There would be for sure collateral damage. Which he could not afford. Keder could not be one, neither could Favor or May or even the inheri
“Ah!” Keder gasped for breath now She didn't believe her eyes. She could not believe her eyes. She was shocked but at the same time,she was happy. Excited for the fact that she had been taken out of the danger zone. It Was all about them, nonetheless. That much was clear enough for anyone to see that. Yet,the excitement which bustled within her was immeasurable. She has given up hope. He meant her leg stopped working, that was when she was done for. At the mercy and the whims of the man who so easily killed the Retuning man and took the life of Whip just like that. However, what she did not bargain for was the fact that he would be the one to come to save her. That is, Lekan himself even when the people from the System Bureau were all around. In the New Age Foundation, she had been taught to hate whatever the Bureau had to offer. And when she had come on this mission, the briefing she did receive back then was that Lekan was a part of them. The earlier she had to hate him, the
And the other, from the ground, blitzing forward in haste. Shockwaves rolled out in continuous waves as they hurtled onward, each of them having one thing in their mind. off each other. each other, one from the sky and one from the ground , each of them having the thoughts of one thing in their mind. The thoughts of taking over the other and subduing him down to the ground. Thought of total domination, thoughts of which only one of them would come out as the victor from this. The closer they got, the more the thoughts dominated their mind, hatred for the other surging to insurmountable amounts. It was the deciding moment. However, they were not the only ones. For beneath them, fingers pointed. Eager faces of Leslie and Frank watching with narrowed eyes. The man with the suit pointing and saying somethings to which Beatrice continued to agree with nods, despite how tensed she was. Something was about to happen, the air was full and thick and nervous anticipation as they watch
His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink. In this time, he saw himself on the ground and a council which held over his head. They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand
Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he
Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor
She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would
Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face. This
His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir
The moment he got to know about the invasion of demons in this place; the first thing he did was to find a way to reach Leslie. He pretty much was trying to find his way about things in this place. And the only one who had shown the willingness to show his way around was none other than Leslie. Frank heaved as he held his right arm. It has healed over the time since the last time he had to get physical with anybody. And thankfully, there had been no cause for him to get involved with any fight. That is, he assumed Lee Min must have learnt his humility and then stayed to himself afterwards. He smiled to himself over this thought now. In the time past, he never did see himself as someone who would have to avenge anybody but now, it was becoming sort of his motto. Not like he was complaining about it. After all, the responsibilities of a King were numerous. And he had to exact them with the proper justice that was needed for each situation he found himself in. “What do we do?” HE
Power in the hands of chaotic beings is just a lower sample of hell. The demons surged about, numerous in their numbers as they screeched and roared. The unlucky humans who got up in their paths were gobbled up, eaten and then regurgitated as pieces of bones and blood. Fear gripped the ranks of the Bureau. In all their times of weidling systems, they never did expect to run into something like this. It has always been about fighting humans. Humans who would go against the way of things of the Bureau. Those who would flaunt the order of things. Those who would would want to thwart the general agenda of the Bureau. Never about things of this proportion. Never about misshapen beings that looked like a hybrid of several creatures. Black with wings, baleful eyes of red with poor patchwork of muscles over long bones for the ones who walked. Those ones measured several meters high, even as much as 8ft tall. The ones who flew were the smaller ones. Having the likelihood to apes, flying
Helen sighed, patting the black crop top she had on. The action brought focus to her belly button,the size of a water drop, externally. . It was slightly larger than normal. A phenomenon which was referred to as ‘dodo’ by his country's people. Oftentimes it was used as a term for light hearted mockery. But sighting it on her, the confidence at which she exuded even with it being exposed, it triggered him sexually. He loved her personality. The way she carried herself even though she knew she was not the best. But still had some air of confidence, as well as a bit of empathy. The fact that instead of leaving outrightly with him, she stayed behind to let him clear his head was lovable. Unlike someone who knew. The person of Lady Beatrice. She cared very less whether you’re anted to be teleported or not. As long as she had you in mind to transport, that was what she carried out. Consent or not. “You.” A raspy voice sounded now. It had a tone that spoke of humor and at the same time m
