Shawn left from the South exit of the town in the direction of Jacksonville Florida without looking back. He was determined to find his home even if it meant searching the whole city.He was unaware that a few minutes after he left, three helicopters infiltrated the sky, flying in from the north. The helicopters stopped near the restaurant and remained stable in the air, fifteen feet above the ground.The helicopter's doors swung open as around twenty people jumped out without any harnesses, sticking to a flawless landing. The way they did it showed that it was a daily routine for them to jump out like that. One of them stood a few steps ahead of the others, facing the restaurant. From the aura he emitted, it signified him as the leader.The man seemed to be in his late twenties. His head was full of short flaming red wavy hair that scattered around his forehead. They made him stand out amongst the crowd because of his unique colour.Wearing a long black coat on top of his black pants
Ratatatata!Zip! Poof!Gunshots rang in the air as my team and I engaged in a firefight against the Somalia militia troops. Someone must have leaked out information as it seems these guys were waiting for us, and we walked right into an ambush.“I fucken knew this will happen! Never trust the Nigerian government! Bunch of saboteurs!” Risky cursed as he swooped down beside me to dodge a bullet. I had a hunch something like this would turn up, but I didn't expect it to reach such an extent. These Somalians brought a battalion to deal with just seven people... Who the hell comes with three hundred soldiers with seven ex-soldiers?“Father! Shall we retreat!?” Erik's voice sounded via the airpod we use.“Negative! Proceed as planned. I will draw their fire, Starlet you do the same, the rest of you plant those bombs in the places we've marked.” I said and moved towards a few soldiers who were busy with setting up for the mortar attack.“I will start by taking out that mortar! you lot better
Vin Fuery's red eyes were fixed on the restaurant all the time as if he was trying to scan inside the restaurant through the concrete walls.“Let's not waste any more time. Time to get to work. We have a rogue variant to catch.” he commanded as he pushed the door before stepping inside the restaurant. The others followed suit.“Looks like we are already late.” a man mumbled. He was in his late twenties and also next in line in command after Vin Fuery.“Florence, we have to do a clean sweep of this area.” Vin Fuery said to the man who had mumbled earlier. Vin Fuery had also noticed the bodies and his eyes turned dark, followed by an unreadable expression on his face.“There seems to be no one alive in here.” Vin Fuery muttered under his breath.Sigh!He walked over to one of the bodies and examined it closely.“As expected. This is the work of a variant and a strong one at that.” Fuery said as he pointed at the man's broken ribcage.“But why would a strong variant cause such a massacre
While the ARV was focusing more on the town, keeping their entire focus on locating Shawn, Shawn was moving towards Jacksonville where his home was.He had awakened the power of Wind that he received from his mother. This power allowed a person to be able to do many things, but for now, Shawn was only able to use it to run like the wind. His entire body felt as light as a feather as he sprinted through the woods. Shawn knew that the people who awakened the power of wind were even able to fly, but that was only possible if their abilities were at the same level as his mother. His mother was the only elemental wind sorceress who could utilize the complete power of wind and fly. Other awakened ones could fly, but they all had different magic than her. Not a single person was able to fly after getting the power of Wind except for his mother since her power of the wind was A-rank. Unfortunately, her power of wind was overshadowed by her power of Decay which was an S-rank ability. Most peop
The dark-haired man's eyes fell on Shawn. Shawn was dressed in a long coat which seemed somewhat funny as the coat was a tad too big for him. It's like wearing grandpa's clothes.“Hey Joker! Come here!” the man called out to Shawn. Fortunately for him, Shawn ignored his words and kept on walking. He had no reason to patronize this bully.As the dark-haired man saw that Shawn had ignored him, his anger boiled inside of him. He lost control of his words which was going to be his biggest regret soon.“You! Little bastard! I'm talking to you! Listen to me you son of a bit-” he had not even finished his sentence when a black lightning bolted his skull, creating a sizzling hole in between his brows. His body dropped to the ground right away as he died. But it was not enough for Shawn. What the man had said was intolerable! He had dared talk bad about Shawn's mother, which was his red line.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Shawn ran towards the dead man who was lying dead on the ground. His skull wa
He once again aimed his gun at Shawn's head before he started firing. One after another, all the bullets were emptied inside Shawn. Marlon did not stop this time until his gun was empty. Unfortunately for him, Shawn still did not fall. Not only that; but the way Shawn was taking the bullets so easily made Marlon feel he was in a nightmare where the Devil had taken the shape of a teenager to scare them.“Why don't you just die!?” Marlon roared as he threw the gun towards Shawn. Shawn waved his hand gently, tossing the gun aside without letting it hit him.Marlon felt like he was going crazy. He started running towards Shawn as he punched out. Since guns were useless, he was going to let his hands do the job to knock Shawn out. His bad luck did not leave him this time either, as his hand was caught easily.Shawn caught the fist of Marlon which was coming to his face.“Why do you squirm and resist? Gladly accept your fate and be punished for your sins.” Shawn said with a stoic expression
Shawn had only taken a few steps when his stomach started growling. He had run out of food some time ago already. Moreover, using his abilities had made him hungry again. In his hunger, he decided to find something to eat. It was a house, so he had a feeling that there must be things to eat.He stepped inside the kitchen, where surprisingly, he found rubber gloves lying on top of a fridge. He touched the rubber gloves to test something. A smile appeared on Shawn's face as he realized that these were decaying slowly. They did decay as well, but their speed was much slower.He instantly wore the gloves before he opened the fridge. He could see that the fridge was mostly empty. There was a bottle of water along with a few apples that were inside the fruit basket in the refrigerator. He picked up the water bottle and drank a mouthful of water before he picked the fruits. He started eating the fruits and only left after finishing them all. His hunger was somewhat satiated, which made him f
Even though the rubber gloves did not stop his decaying powers entirely, they did decay the slowest. It allowed him to still touch things when he wore them. There was also something incomprehensible about his power which he could not understand; even though everything he touched did decay, some things decayed unusually fast, while others decayed a little slowly. It was as if something subconscious was at play which he could not control.. perhaps it was just the system.Shawn picked up the bowl and started drinking the soup without using the spoon.He wasn't given the knife and other cutleries when he was at the facility, and he had to eat things with his hands, so this had become his habit not to use such things.He finished the soup in an instant. His hunger was satiated. He turned back and started leaving without saying anything to the ones that had fed him. He was curious if they would ask him for something in return. Was it that they helped him because they were good? That wasn't
IT ENDS HERE"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The
“Hey you! Get out of here before I do something nasty!” the toy salesman shouted at Lucifer when he saw the teenage boy staring at the glass case. Lucifer paid him no heed and the man's face twisted in a grimace."Guards! This kid is not listening. Take this useless kid and throw him out!" The salesman said as he looked towards the guards."I am not useless!" Lucifer suddenly roared as he was again called useless. Black Thunder started cracking around him, shocking even the salesman. His voice seemed to contain a mysterious power that made it as intimidating as the roar of a lion. Not only the salesman but even the red-haired man was shocked as he looked back."Get back! He is an Awakened One! Move back; he is losing..." The red-haired man let out in warning, but it was too late. Before he could even complete his sentence, he saw Lucifer holding the neck of the man and crushing it entirely.The guards were horrified as they saw the salesman being killed. They raised their guns and aim
"Don't laugh at him. He might be homeless orphan who found some old clothes of someone in a dumpster or something, the woman replied to her son."There are many like him. Just ignore him." She continued walking holding her son's arm. while Lucifer heard the child's words and gazed at his clothes. It was right. He did think he looked odd. He once again shifted his blank gaze towards the child- sİzed mannequin that had clothed that was going to fit him perfectly. He started walking towards the shop instead. Just as he was walking towards the doors, another person was walking in his direction.It was a young red-haired man who was wearing a green t-shirt and black pants. He had donned a black coat over his clothes that had a Red Eagle Symbol on the chest. The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties only.Lucifer stepped closer to the shop and reached out his hand to open the door, but to his surprise, the doors slid to the side on their own as soon as he got near. Tilting his head slightly,
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, giving the world some warmth. Refreshing winds were flowing through the city of Ikrego, brushing against Lucifer's face as he reached the new city. The city seemed a bit bigger than anything he had seen before. In fact, it happened to be even biggerbthan the Legion City, which was the largest city he had seen before.There were beautiful houses everywhere. Even though Lucifer hadn't stepped inside the city, he could still see the beautifulbstructures of the city. There were also two tall statues placed at the entrance of the city of Ikrego, which seemed to look like humans. Lucifer didn't know about this, but the statues belonged to the previous heads of the Red Eagles Guild, which had its headquarters inside the city.Red Eagles was a guild that consisted of Hunters who went inside Dungeons to keep the Monster Index in control. Even though it was a big group and part of the Hunter Association, it hadn't always been an organization. In fact, it
Xander and Flourance were shocked when they saw the footage of the inhumane torture on a fifteen-year-old kid. They could see the boy's body twisting and turning in pain before he ultimately stopped moving.Xander was clenching his fist uncontrollably. Flourance was also shocked."This is torture! How can they be so inhumane to a little child?" Flourance commented."So they killed the boy, and now he's back for revenge. There is no Dark Variant Uprising angle in this anymore. It's all a tragedy made by humans." he further added, still enraged."Because of their stupidity, they put the whole world in danger." Xander hadn't spoken anything. But his face was saying everything. He seemed enraged, as if he wanted to destroy something.However, something happened. All his anger disappeared as a calm and serene emotion overtook him. His other ability had started acting. It was his Emotion Control that kept his emotion in control and prevented him from losing emotions whenever he was about t
Drak instantly opened his eyes and looked at Xander as he heard the words. It was as if his pained nerves were pressed. He also noticed a picture in Xander's hands was that of his sister and his mother."Are you threatening me?" Drak asked, frowning."How low can you fall? Going after my family?""You said you don't care if the world is destroyed. I'm just reminding you. If the world is destroyed, then don't forget, your family is a part of this world too. It would not only affect you and me but millions of people like her too." Xander replied calmly."I read your file, and I know about your family. The Beta team had also managed to locate your family when they were trying to find you," he further continued, ignoring the question as he walked closer to Drak to help him better see the image.Drak reached out his hand to hold the image, but before his hand could touch the picture, it was burned to ashes in the flames that appeared in Xander's hand out of nowhere."Do you want to know ab
The silence in Ayn's office was ultimately broken by her sigh itself."Alright. I'Il allow you to meet him. I won't let him leave the cell, though. You can take a laptop to his cell and have him help you." She stopped using her powers. Xander also stopped at the same time."He would not help you for no reason, though," She muttered as she placed her fingers on her chin."Leave that to me. I'll handle that. All you need to do is let me enter his cell and turn off the cameras for as long as I'm inside, " Xander said with a subtle smile on hisface."Alright. " Ayn tapped a button that was on her table while she simultaneously opened a drawer, bringing a laptop out of it."One of my men will take you to the cell. I will turn off the cameras from here after you get in the cell. Here, you can use this laptop. It has a masked ID; the Military won't be able to track it even if they find the hack, " She said as she gave Xander the laptop."I appreciate it. " Suddenly, there was a knock on the
After a few minutes, Lucifer picked up the last piece as he finally moved. He started walking towards the man who had been trying to drag his frail and injured body away from Lucifer. Unfortunately, despite Lucifer giving him so much time, he wasn't able to get much farther. He could only drag himself for a few meters. Lucifer easily closed in on the distance."Forgive me! Please forgive me! I'll be a good man. I won't do it again. I swear on my life."Gazing down at the man who was holding his hands, begging Lucifer to free him. Seeing no change in Lucifer's expression despite his begging, he changed his approach.'He's a kid. AlI kids love their parents,' he thought as he decided what to do."Think about your parents. What would they think if they knew their son was a murderer? Let me go. Walk on the righteous path and make your parents proud! "Albeit, his words fell on deaf ears, it seemed. Lucifer wanted to do it the same way since the man wanted to use his feet to show his crude
Even though he had S-Rank abilities, it wasn't as easy. Despite having the same S-Rank Super Strength, his strength was nowhere near the level of his father. He didn't even have one percent strength of his father just because his control and experience were lacking. It was a newly gained power.Generally, he shouldn't have been able to use even a fraction of this power without training, but surprisingly he could. It was unclear why it was that way. Maybe because he had seen his parents use their powers previously when they trained. Or perhaps it was something else.Despite only having the fractional strength of his father, his Super Strength was way stronger than any normal human can hope to comprehend, which only showed how strong his Father must have been. That was why his father was called the Strongest Warlock. He was just in a different realm altogether.Shawn was still sitting in a forest, cooking a beast that he had hunted. There was still half a day of distance between him and
