By the time they were done setting up, more than five minutes had gone by.
"Their powers have returned" Yamato said
"How long until they go off again?" He asked
"It's better to just wait them out and move when they are powerless" he suggested but Orie disagreed with him.
"It's four hours until the next power shut down" he said
"If we wait that long, we risk failing the game"
"I forgot to tell you this but by the time the game began, the Metas already knew where source of their powerlessness was coming from"
"This game is not espionage"
"It's pure violence"
"But don't worry"
"It's not like bullets don't work on mages"
Before anyone could say anything, Shiro and Mia darted out of the house screaming "LET'S GOOO!!"
"Aren't you worried about them getting into trouble?" Natsumi asked, looking at Orie.
"No, not really" Orie answered as he made his way to the door
"This is a game"
"The fight doesn't start until we leave this street"
"and besides, Mia is already good with weapons and I personally trained Shiro"
"If you say so" Natsumi replied as she followed him.
On the other hand, Shiro and Mia were met with a great silence in the middle of the street. The only thing they could hear were their own voices.
"I was really expecting some immediate action" Shiro said to himself
"I know right?!!" Orie yelled from behind him
"Just don't forget that this is a game"
"No matter how heated the battle gets in the war zone, it will not reach here"
"And also," he said
"The war zone is just past this street and if we don't join the fight and win, we fail the first mission and the second mission becomes insanely harder than it's supposed to be"
"And oh yeah" he added
"There are only two missions so if things go well, we'll be out of here in few hours"
"By the way" he said again
"The hardest wave is the first wave so please... I said please... Follow my instructions. After that, you can do whatever you want"
Truly, the warzone was just past the street. As soon as they took the first step out of it, they were met with an ear ringing amount of noise and chaos. It was as if someone turned the volume from zero to a hundred in an instant.
Powerful Metas were dropping from the sky and attacking a large army of Revengers that was positioned in the distance.
Sounds out of destruction and death filled the air and bullets were being shot in every direction
"SO WHAT NOW?!!" Shiro yelled, try to speak to Orie amidst the noise.
"WHAT?!!" Orie replied, not hearing what Shiro said
"I SAID, WHAT NOW?" Shiro yelled much more loudly
"Oh" Orie said as he finally heard what Shiro was saying
"JUST DO AS I DO!!" he yelled. Then he positioned his hand in front of his face and yelled "SHIELD!!" and a round holographic blue shield appeared on his hand and he rushed forward. The others also did as he did and their shields also appeared and they rushed forward.
SHIN SEKAI SECRET: It is always cold in Fubuki island. Even during the summer time, snow sometimes falls in the morning.
As Orie and the others rushed forward, every Meta on the scene immediately turned their attention towards them. Majority of the Metas were fire elementals and they all had a simple pattern. First they would each shoot multiple small flames, then they would shoot big balls of flames, then they would raise their hands in unison and cause flames to rise from the ground everywhere. When the Metas fired the small flames, Orie blocked with his shield and kept running. When they shot the big balls of flames, he evaded and kept on advancing. When they caused flames to rise from the ground, he paid no attention to it and continued running until he got to one of the Metas. Then he immediately unpinned several grenades and dropped them on the floor. BOOM!!! Everyone also followed Orie and did as he did, but when they close to a Meta, they used their guns and swords to attack instead of dropping grenades at their feet and attempting suicide bombing. As they were unleashing their a
Even Orie was shocked and it was apparent on his face. "This wasn't how it went the last time" he thought He was sure that there was a few more waves before this dialogue but that wasn't the case at the moment. He looked back at the wave of Metas that were behind him and noticed something different; they had stopped advancing and were slowly backing away. This was a sign that their powers had gone off. Orie then turned to his companions and said "Alright let's go" and they all band together and started walking past the numerous identical looking revengers. Shiro wanted to ask a question about their looks but he could just picture Orie in his mind yelling "CLASSIC GAME SHI**!!" and he kept quiet. They hadn't walked from the army when the leader called Orie back saying "WAIT!!" "You'll need this" he added as he tossed a car key to Orie and ran back to join his army who had begun advancing on the powerless Metas. "He gave you the keys" Shiro said "Then whe
It was like a hangover after a raging night party. Their heads were aching and their eyes were heavy, so much that they couldn't make out were they were. It was as if they had too much of 'that good wine' and the choking smell in the room made things worse. "This smells like Nega" Orie groaned as he managed to get up "What's that?" Shiro asked as he also stood up "It's actually a 'who" Orie replied "And he's the king of Dahüd" Slowly, everyone recovered from the drowsiness and were able to see clearly. Before them was a man sitted on what could only be described as a throne. It's cushions were pure black and every other part of it was made of gold. The man sitting on it was just as magnificent. His skin was gleaming dark, the brown in his eyes were as the middle part of a sunflower, and his hair shot straight up and was flat at the top. There was no jewelry on him but the mere sight of him brought gold and diamonds into one's thought. Just by looking at him,
"I know that you are not one to lie to me but I'm finding it hard to believe that what you're telling me is true" Orie said "If a priest really died, I would've felt it and so would you and every other priest" "It's the one thing we share" "But that didn't happen, did it?" "That's what I'm trying to tell you" Nega replied "His death was confirmed yet I felt nothing" "But that's not even the worst part" he said "So what is the worst part?" Orie asked, then Nega stayed silent for a while before answering "His entire province" he said "Everywhere that received the blessing of his god is in great despair" "There has been drought from the southern borders of Dahüd down to the coastal areas of the continent and it is getting worse by the day" "It's quite normal" Orie replied "The drought will only last until a new priest succeeds him and that only takes a few days" he said as he placed his hand on Nega's shoulder. "Do you think I don't know
"Woe to those that make enemy of the priests of the mighty ones, for their fate is worse than death" "The damned shall mock them, and the hopeless shall look down on them with pity" "The sick will look healthy in comparison to them, and the shall look alive in their presence" "For they have made and enemy of the priest and in doing so, they have made an enemy of his god" These were the words spoken by Orie while he was held in chains in a small isolated room. There was barely enough light for someone to see around but there wasn't that much to see either. It was and quiet clean for a dark isolated room. There was no dirt, no bad odor, no rats. It was only him, some very strong chains and a guard who told him to shut up after he had just finished making a divine declaration. "One of the perks of being a priest..." Orie said as he stood up "...is that sometimes, we are required to make declarations before we take action" "This is so that whoever is making a m
"For a thousand years, I've waited" "For a thousand years, I've held on and anticipated" "For when this day shall come" "My plan is perfect" "There is no chance for failure" "On this day" "A Raiden shall fall" genji muttered as he looked down at Mia who was bound in chains before him. "You know I can hear everything you're saying, right?" Mia asked as she gave him a cold stare. There was nothing intimidating about his appearance, the sound of his voice was not one to strike fear in others. He looked like every other normal guy but his name was not one to be spoken in jest. 'Genji of the Order' was a name feared in the entire underground society. "Oh" Genji said in surprise "I thought you were still sleeping" he added "But it's not like you can do anything about it" "You're completely bound and weakened" "You can't oppose me in your current state" "How sure are you about that?" Mia asked "Very sur..." Before Genji could complet
Natsumi was kept in a much more spacious than the others. It appeared to be an emptied warehouse judging by how big it was. There were a lot of guards inside with her and they were all on high alert. Even though she was chained down, her power still had a little reach and any one that got close froze. "Do you know who she is?" One of the guards asked his colleague and the colleague answered "we are not paid to ask questions" his colleague replied "But you know..." The guard said "Considering her level of power she might be someone of high importance" "I'm just afraid that someone might come for her" "And that might be a bit of a problem" "You worry too much, soldier" his colleague replied "This job has been going smoothly and it will go smoothly" "She hasn't put up any form of resistance" "And I don't think anyone is coming for her" "This place is not easy to find" "And even if someone does find it, there's no way they can break through the
"These bitches must be out of their minds" "They think they got me in a bind" "But it won't be long till they find" "That they're dealing with one of a kind" "They laugh, they smile and they grin" "They don't know the trouble they're in" "But how can you expect things to end well?" "When try to mess with a king" "I say a word and the chain breaks" "I take a step and the ground quakes" "They come at me with their full strength" "But still I'm someone that they can't take" "Ain't no one that can catch me slipping" "I can't keep count of the a** I'm kicking" "If this was a game they'd say I'm cheating" "Cus they brought guns but their shots are missing" It didn't take long for Nega to break out of his own chains. He was kept in a similar place to Natsumi; an abandoned warehouse with enough space and many guards. His original plan was to wait for whoever Masterminded his and teach him a lesson but after waiting for a long time
