CHAPTER 46***IN THE MIDDLE!***Roshan ran straight heading for the wall blocking him and the rescue of his father.Meanwhile in a large tall buildings. A young looking sat on his chair facing the window.“You say he is in your hands?”“Yes Sir… we have him down under”“Good very good, Glass!” The young man said turning his chair to face the man, his arms resting on the table and supporting his chin. His head bowed low and a faint smile surfaced from his lips.A smile that would send chills down the spine of a grown man.Glass shuddered when he felt the blood lust coming from that little gesture.He did not understand why his boss wanted to kill someone so bad. What had the person done to offend him.He felt a great deal of sadness and pity for the unfortunate person.Even as a level 39 human, Glass was still afraid of his bossHe knew Heath since when he wa
“Hey Bahr, Have you seen Roshan?” Kade walked up to a one of the student who was constantly pulling at his shirt. “This thing is really uncomfortable!” Bahr grumbled as he tugged at the shirt. He would prefer going shirtless as before. “Have you seen Roshan?” Kade asked him again “Who? Roshan? No! Yeah that’s right, I haven’t seen him” Bahr said with his hand on his chin. ‘I hope he has not gone anywhere' Bahr thought. “I didn’t see him during breakfast and Miss Hera asked for him.” Kade said with a furrowed brow “She asked? What did you tell her?” Bahr raised a brow “Calm down, I didn’t say anything out of the usual..” “Everything is unusual for you” Bahr rolled his eyes “I only said he was down with a fever” Kade shrugged. “I’m surprised” Bahr glanced at him and started walking “Where are you going to?” Kade caught up to him and asked. “I am hungry” Bahr answered without looking at him. Kade sighed and moved along. “Hey guys! Wait for me” a voice called to them. Bahr w
The hollow pathway was wide enough for a group of ten people to walk through. The sound caused by the drop of a pin would be able to travel to the other end of the room as a result of the echo system. The wall were covered with a type of material, Roshan felt the material as he walked through the pathway carefully to avoid any sound that would obviously draw unwanted attention to him.If he was found out, he would no doubt be expelled ending both the dream of his parents and his.“It’s a good thing I didn’t tell them anything, they would have tried to follow me especially that friendly nuisance. Was I a bit harsh? Never mind, I will apologize when I return.” Roshan heaved a sigh of relief and continued moving forwardMeanwhile…“…Guys, this is definitely a bad idea, a very bad one” Bahr said as he crawled on the ground, some specks of dust immediately found their way into his mouth“Damn you, Kade!” He spatKade who was in front of him smiled and kept crawling “You should try to keep
****His neck hurt, what had happened?. He tried opening his eyes but they felt heavy. Then he faintly heard some voices.“This is a good place to hide”“It just doesn’t feel right, what if we get caught?”“If you keep asking questions with that annoying voice of yours, we surely will” Bahr glared at KadeKade scoffed at him but kept quiet.Siera looked over at where Roshan laid. She almost swore she had seen him move but his body remained still.Roshan kept his eyes shut partly because he couldn’t open them and partly because he was trying to recollect what had happened.*Host will come online in 30 minutes**00:29:09*The familiar ring resounded in his head.“Oh you are active now. What happened?”*System is unable to function until Host is fully online*“I’m starting think the only thing you can do is make annoying sounds in my head” Roshan frowned.Suddenly He felt a change in the air. Like he was forcefully being pushed into the ground“Where the hell am I?” Roshan coul
******Roshan’s mind raced as he tried to recall what had led him to this state. He felt his head throbbing with pain, as if someone had hit him with a sledgehammer. But all he could remember was the loud bang and then darkness. He tried to open his eyes, but they felt heavy and he could barely manage to blink them open. The room around him was dimly lit, and he noticed he was in a kind of enclosed space, surrounded by metal walls.Roshan’s heart began to race as he tried to piece together what had happened. Had he been kidnapped, or was he being held captive for some other reason? His thoughts were interrupted by a whisper close to his ear.“Yo! Guys, he’s up,” a voice whispered.“Shush, keep it down,” another person answered. Roshan recognized the voices and realized that he was not alone. He tried to turn his head to see who it was, but the pain in his head was too much to bear.Roshan slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the white floor in what appeared to be a small
****Back in the Academy where the moon shone through the dark clouds, a boy with white hair sat in his room with a communication device opposite him. He was dressed in a plain white shirt, and his dark trousers were crumpled from sitting cross-legged for hours. His room was simple, almost ascetic, with white walls and his single bed pushed against the corner and the other bed situated ag the other corner Xaden’s fingers played with the communication device, his mind wandering as he waited for his sister’s call. Bibi was the only family he felt he had left even if his father was still alive, and they were incredibly close, despite the distance. They shared everything with each other and made promises that they knew they could keep.A sudden beep from the device snapped him out of his reverie. He tapped the screen, and Bibi’s face appeared on the screen. Her hair had been packed into two ponytails, and she had white hair just like him, but her eyes were dark brown unlike his. Xaden a
The aircraft shook violently as it made contact with the ground. Seira held onto Roshan’s arm tightly for comfort, her eyes closed as she waited for the shaking to stop. She was relieved when the aircraft finally came to a halt. It was still dark outside, with just a hint of light on the horizon. They had landed safely, but the mission was far from over.Seira peeked outside the window, scanning the area for any signs of danger. She saw nothing but the greeny landscape of the strang part of the planet they had just landed on. She turned to her team and shook Roshan’s arm. He slowly opened his eyes, still groggy from the long flight.“We need to leave,” Seira whispered urgently.Roshan nodded, slowly standing up and stretching. Kade and Bahr, who had decided to catch some shut-eye, were now awake and alert. They knew what they had to do – find a way to sneak out of the storage room and out of the aircraft without being caught by the guards.Getting caught would mean immediate expulsion
*********** The refreshing energy came over him again as soon as he finished the last squat. It wasn’t the first time he had felt like this and he was starting to enjoy it. The feeling kept hitting him like a drug. He knew that very soon, he'd be addicted to it. His eyes also didn't hurt anymore and he wasn’t even tired. He stared at the sky above him, it was oddly calm and now he suddenly developed the urge to take out Element and play with him but he soon realized his high mana leakage would attract the attention of one of the mana sensitive soldiers. He had been a bad pet owner, he hadn't fed Element in a while, maybe he could use his own mana or health points. Then his mind started to wander. Roshan started to think what if he had to face some of the soldiers in that group. Would his arsenal be enough to take them down?He still had his gauntlet, and at the thought of the gauntlet, a white light materialized on his hands and when the light dissappeared, the gauntlet was in place.
Hera realised she would not reach the boy in time and he could be slapped to a paste by the Daegi.“Wake up, Roshan!” She said to the boy, as she saw him plummeting into the ground but he didn’t move.She knew she couldn’t wait anymore. She had to activate judgement now.“Sacred Sword Projection: Judgement!” Hera cried with a loud voice and the light long sword in her hand grew bigger, its edges blazing with a loud amount of holy light.The sword moved towards the Daegi in an attempt to slice in two from the top.The Daegi felt a tingling sensation, and it turned around, ignoring its target on Roshan’s body.It immediately blinked away from the area of contact trying to move from the attack but Hera persisted turning her body and the sword.It was time to give this Daegi a piece of her mind.Something at the back of her mind told her that she wouldn’t be able to fully destroy this monster just like she did to the Tre-ant but it was worth it.“At least these people can escape with me
[Opponent detected] [System Quest: Obliterate Opponent] [Quest Reward: Evolution] Roshan’s sword glowed brightly with fire as he stood with his back against Hera, holding her own bright light longsword. They both had to face different opponents, and their opponents weren’t giving them a breathing space. “Let’s go, Roshan.” Hera said, and at the sound of her voice. She activated her spells “Light element: Judgemental Rods.” At the sound of Hera’s voice. A dozen thick rods formed in front of her, ready to launch at the Daegi. “Would you need any help?” Hera said, directing her question to Roshan. “I don’t know yet.” Roshan replied calmly. He really didn’t know if he would be able to kill this thing but he definitely wanted to kill it. ------ He just wanted to get the satisfaction of killing it, the one thing that was the cause of his parents’ death. Roshan knew that this was not the exact creature that killed his parents. This was a human who was trapped in the body of this m
“Welcome.” Heath uttered with a wry smileRoshan only stared at him with boiling anger powering the intensity of his fire.“Shut your mouth, Heath. We aren’t done yet.” Roshan yelled furiously.“I’m done with you, Roshan. Weren’t you meant to be leaving? You had your chance to go and now you returned because of your selfishness. You neglected your friends and family to come back here, Roshan.” Heath cried out, and laughed.“Roshan, you fool. You have been blinded. This is what I like. A hero who thinks only about himself. I’m so happy that you are finally true to yourself.” Heath grinned widely. His face contorting into one of pure madness.“I said, Shut up!” Roshan moved swiftly, putting his attributes to use. A sword made of fire immediately appeared in his hand, burning fiercely as it mirrored the raging emotions of its wielder.Roshan brought the sword with full force but Heath had already moved away. He had simply vanished just like the way he had vanished from the laboratory the
“We need to get out of here immediately.” Roshan blurted out in a rush. He straightened his body but he still couldn’t get rid of the pain. “What do you mean, Roshan?” Hera looked at him. She had picked up Siera who had just woken up, and placed her on her shoulders. “A Daegi is out there.” Roshan uttered, a look of worry etched on his face. This was something that would kill them. “A Daegi? “ Hera’s eyes shook. She clenched her fist, she didn’t know if she could face an actual Daegi while she had to protect these kids. The last time she held off a Daegi was because she summoned him, but would she be able to do with the current amount of mana she had left. “How many rings did you see?” Lans asked, he didn’t know why but he just couldn’t get rid of the suspicions he had for this kid. “I… I don’t know. We have to go see it ourselves.” Roshan spoke, and he moved to his father. “I’m so happy you are saved.” Roshan said with a smile and he placed his arms around Old man Fyi, giving
Hera turned around in an instant, grabbing Lans’ collar, and she slammed his back onto the cold hard wall. Lans looked at her directly in his eyes before bringing his head low. It was his responsibility to take care of them but he had done a terrible job. He couldn’t bring himself to say it to Hera’s face. “Answer me, Lans.” Hera growled at him. “Heath took them away. He had taken away Siera as a ransom and a bet saying that if we found Roshan’s father here, he would release her.” Lans replied her. “And you let him?” Hera’s hold on Lan’s collar tightened, and cracks started to surface on the wall.She felt a touch on her hand, and looked up, it was Read. “Give him a break. We had no choice.” Read said with a low voice. Hera sighed and released Lans. “Where is Roshan?” She asked, her eyes moving towards Lans.“The coward was taken after we lost consciousness due to a gas.” A soldier muttered but Hera heard the words. “Coward?” Heath questioned, looking at the soldier that had sp
“My father?” Roshan looked at Heath as the boy in white paced around the laboratory, holding the bloodied scalpel in his hand. “Your father was a killer.” Heath’s voice rang out. His eyes held no emotion as he spoke.“I know.” Roshan replied back to him. His teeth was clenched as he struggled to keep his focus on Siena and calculate how much time she had left.Roshan’s father being a killer wasn’t new to his son. He was a war veteran, he would gotten rid of the head on the neck of the enemies and Roshan as his son had grown to accept it. “...” Heath was silent before he let out a low chuckle. The sound of the scalpel hitting the ground echoed in the laboratory.“So you know he killed my parents?” Heath’s eyes grew cold, and for the first time, Roshan was sure he saw a strange emotion on Heath’s face before it quickly switched back to normal. “My father would never do such a thing.” Roshan replied. He had trust in his father. The man was too simple to harm his fellow human unless h
Roshan opened his eyes and he saw a wide blanket of darkness surrounding every corner of his vision. There was a heavy feeling on his chest, one that brought about a feeling of weakness.He felt suspended, causing him to glance around, only to realize that he was alone in this void space.Eventually, his memory clicked, and an image was painted in the centre of his head. He had visited this place before, but he wasn't placed in such a position.The last time he came here was when his system had shut down after the Arkon's tournament fight with Siera.Looking back now, he realized that he had truly come a long way, and he was a lot stronger than before.However, last time, his parents had visited him, but why weren't they here now?"Wake up, Hero." A deep reverberating sound resonated in the space of his void causing him to want to cover his ears but he couldn't move his limbs.His bones were stiff and he could barely do a thing.Roshan tried to picture the last fragment of his memory
Everyone turned their heads to Roshan waiting for him to say something to them. He couldn’t possibly be the coward that Heath was talking about. He had saved them a lot of times. Heath quietly watched the scene from where he sat. It was just as he planned.He wouldn’t even have to do anything, he would just watch them destroy each other from the inside.It was quite hilarious to see the little faith that they lacked. “Roshan, if you have a way for us to get out. It’d be much better for you to do it now. It’s your father we are after.” Roshan listened as Lans spoke, but he couldn’t tell them about his powers. He would have to explain a lot, and they would not even understand him. How could he explain his abilities when he couldn’t even absorb mana. “I have nothing to say.” Heath smiled when he heard Roshan’s words. Why was the boy so adamant on keeping his powers secret?Well he didn’t have much time to waste. They would find out sooner or later. Lans was about to say something
The team decided to wait till the next morning. Roshan wasn’t able to fall asleep, he kept thinking of what he would do to make sure they found Master Fyi.Roshan knew that these were the people who had killed his parents because the clothes worn by the men who had taken Siera away had a Night Wing logo etched on the back. It had taken a lot of effort for Roshan to calm but that was after his rage made him tear of someone’s limb. He just had to wait for Lans to give the order, and he would go to kill Heath himself.His parents didn’t deserve to die. “Roshan? You up?” Roshan turned his head when he heard Kade calling out to him. “Yeah?” Roshan answered with an expressionless face.“Do you like Siera?” Kade’s voice was low but what he has said had almost made Roshan choke on his spit. “She’s my friend. Of course I like her.” Roshan furrowed his brows trying to understand what Kade was thinking. “That... I know that, but it’s not what I meant.” “What do you mean then?” Roshan tur
