God-Hunter Mage

The Sun was shining. No cloud protected Amantha City from the heat of the sun. Amantha people’s activities were the same as normal, except for some reason there was a commotion that happened.

"Catch him! Don't let him run away!"

"Step aside, don't impede us."

"Someone who could stop him will grant a prize from Snakehead Gang!"

Kieran was running as fast as possible. He could beat them but it will take time, at worst, one of the three chiefs of the snakehead gang will catch him. Kieran didn't take the alleyway but he ran on the main road. His purpose was to get out of this city. There was no safe place in Amantha City.

Many people filled the main road. As an effect, Snakehead Gangsters were hampered to chase Kieran. Kieran passed through the crowd by running between the gap of people.

"I'm sorry," Mio apologized.

Kieran knew Mio was regretting. but the situation was already screwed up, Mio’s regret will not change the situation.

"We will go out of this city. The fastest person in Snakehead Gang is Ryx. He could create a pair of wings from the wind. It means soon or later he will catch up with us."

"May I know where we will go?"

"In the Southern of Hecrotus Kingdom, there is a place called The Freedom City, Deborah. We will go there through the forest."

The gangsters were left behind. Kieran couldn't find any gangster behind him. After which, Kieran saw the gate.

The armored man intended to stop Kieran, but Kieran was avoiding him, while he ran past him, Kieran threw 10 shallons at the armored man.

"I am sorry, but I must go."

The armored man caught the money and waved his hand toward Kieran, "Be careful, and thank you for the money!"

Kieran felt lucky that the armored man wasn't realized the problem yet. Kieran and Mio will easily find out by Ryx if he ran on the main road like this. It was different if Kieran went to the forest. The dense forest will make it difficult for Ryx to find them.

After going through the forest for 15 minutes, Kieran stopped. He needed a break. He sat under a big and wide tree. He rested his back toward the tree. His chest was ups and downs with rapid breaths.

Mio peeked at Kieran, "Why you don't give me to the Snakehead Gang? I think they would leave you alone if you give me to them."

Kieran silenced. He looked at Mio, Kieran tapped her forehead with his finger. "I do this not because of you alone. I am Asmodeus Believer, live in this kingdom will restrain me."

Kieran added, "Soon or later I will go out of this Kingdom to The Freedom City, Deborah. I had heard Deborah allowed the evil believer mage as long as they are following their rule. So, I hope I could find Asmodeus Priest."

A priest had the power to give a quest to other believers. A priest also could teach other believers another skill. Yes, three skill was basic skill, but you could learn more from the priest. The last, to upgrade your class you must need the priest's help. So, finding the Asmodeus community in Deborah City was Kieran’s purpose.

"I know Deborah, my father goes there every year," Mio said.

"Deborah is an international trading center, it is located near to Strait of Chetorah which connected the Eura Ocean and the Cavisic Ocean. Every year there will be an auction that was run by Xiao Family. That auction is the number one auction in the world. I think your father go to that auction," Kieran explained.

A flapping sound was disturbing Kieran. He looked up to the sky. Suddenly, a rough wind was messing with the place around him and Mio. They covered their eyes with their hand due to dust which flew following wind flows. The trees were slopping, and its leaf was falling.

A deep voice and thunderous was echoing from the sky.

"Do you think you could hide from my vision?"

That person was slowly going down. A black spike hair with a scar that forms an X shape on his left cheek. His eyes were blue and shining. The most drawn attention was a pair of blue transparent wings on his back.

"Ryx," Kieran set up his stance. Kieran didn't expect Ryx will be able to find them quickly. Kieran knew that he couldn't beat Ryx with his power, so he chose to run.

[Asmodeus Bless: Activated]

Kieran gave Mio pickaback quickly. A wave of wind went toward him, and Kieran jumped. The wave was cutting the tree beside him. Kieran quickly ran away from Ryx.

"Hmph, useless effort, you couldn't run from me," Ryx flew and chased Kieran.

Ryx pointed his forefinger to Kieran. He was grinning. This was one of his best skills to kill others.

A round of wind was compressing in front of his finger. Slowly, his finger trembled.

[Wind Bullet: Shot]

The wind bullet was gliding toward Kieran silently. Without great sense, someone wouldn't realize a wind bullet was flying toward them.

Mio fox ears were moved slightly, and she bawled, "Jump aside!"

Kieran reflectively moved aside. Second later, a big stone exploded due to being shot by a wind bullet. Kieran's eyes opened widely. He couldn't believe a dangerous attack almost took his life.

"Thank you!"

"You could save that after we are safe from that guy."

Ryx hissed, "Gzz, Kitsune." The space between the tree was too tight, it made him have trouble in caught up with Kieran and Mio. But he could match his speed to Kieran’s speed.

Kieran knew he should do something or Ryx would catch him.

"Hey Mio, stretch your hands," Kieran said.

Mio couldn't understand Kieran’s purpose, "Why?"

"Just do it."

"Ok!" Mio gave her hands to Kieran. Kieran was grabbing the chains which bound Mio’s hands. He was cracking the chains. After that, the chains broke, and Mio was completely free from the seal.

Kieran chose to believe Mio wasn't dangerous as he thought.
