“Oliver, are you all right?”All three of the youngster rush to his side, helping him to sit, as he was still trying to catch his breath.He could not believe his luck that he’d survive that, since he didn’t think that the military would mobilize their men that quickly.The soldiers that were there were all fully equipped and at the ready, there were even tanks and heavy machineries moving around. They had mobilized everything, which made all of them curious.“Yeah, it wasn’t that bad. The sergeant packs a harder punch than that guy.”He tried to laugh it off, but ended up coughing from the sting and twisting of his nerves. His muscles were cramping from receiving the man’s beating head on.It was taking a while for his natural healing to work, cause he had used up much of his energy reinforcing his armor.He was so happy that his efforts paid, seeing as he was alive and still breathing.Arnold leans on his shoulder, pretending to weep, together with the two others the minute they saw
Both officials ended in a staring match, as Oliver’s father would not back down. Yet, it seems the fellow had a score to settle with the man, as he grinned, already having a comeback for that excuse.“He’s a soldier, is he not? Surely he was trained to endure something like this.”Everyone turned quiet, as the two officials continued glaring at each other, leaving the youngster to turn to look at his friends.The tension brewing up between the men was so thin that none dared to intervene, fearing that they might get pulled into the conflict. It felt as if at any given moment, a fight would break. Even their personal guards were on edge, ready to take on the other group out of grudge.“That will be not be a problem, sir.”Oliver intervened before anything else happened, lifting his head up high, assuming the same form as the soldiers.That received a frown from his dad, a grin from the other official, and a shocked expression from his friends at the sudden change.Since it had already
Same as before, the way the soldiers marching in sequence were like robots, all well armed and equipped. They trek to the side of the main building.There was an enormous double gate there. The platoon stopped, as one of the high-ranking officials had to call onto his radio.Oliver braced himself, hearing the large doors opened up, clanking from its pulling motion, each gear making a ruckus of its own as it moved. A loud thud almost made him flinch. If it wasn’t for him being alert, he would have jolted.He took in a deep breath, seeing the trail downward. It looked like it was leading straight into an underground tunnel.From there, they began separating per army, as each general had his own men. They were in the fourth row, so it was going to take some time for them to move, giving them a chance for a bit of chat.His dad nudges him with an arm over his shoulder, pulling him closer.“I’m proud of you, son.”The man says, finally putting on a smile. He could do the same, seeing that
Both Oliver and his father could not believe their eyes. While the younger gently gaped in shock, the older one hid his surprise behind twitching brows and clench jaw.The two look at each other before the young man put on a stern face, gaze narrowing at the person who stood smirking in front of them.“They said you were dead.”Oliver’s expression turned murderous, gritting his teeth with a clenched fist hidden in his back.That only made the geezer sneer, snorting at how he was being looked at. It also induced the others behind him to chuckle, shaking their head like the idea was humorous.“A minor tactic to remove the prying eyes of other nation on my work.”The person states, flickering his fingers into the air in a jest.It only caused the soldiers’ blood to boil, seeing how they were being ridiculed by the guy.It took almost all of their restraints, just to keep themselves steady, though they were itching to throw a punch at the fellow’s smug face.“You’re still a wanted man, do
Both Oliver and the doctor ended up in a staring match, as the young officer could not put aside the thought of what he had accomplished.“And what can a soldier know about something as complicated as this?”Steinz scoffs, lifting a brow at the youngster’s retaliation and hostility.“Because I’m familiar with what you’ve done to them.”Oliver’s jaw clench, teeth gritting as he glared at the old guy.With the use of his special eyes, he saw the energy swirling in each person’s body. It was like they were raging around in search of somewhere to stop. And the lack of that was causing it to become restless.Of course, none of them could notice this, since all of them relied on their machinery, only able to detect and gauge the power, nothing more.“Nonsense. This procedure is more safe and reliant than the previous ones. As you can see with our earlier volunteers.”With a snap of his fingers, several individuals came out of hiding, leaving their posts around the perimeter to show themselv
Strong winds continued blowing, waves rising to unbelievable heights. Lightning rage together with the roaring thunder in the skies. The earth rumbled and break, shifting its plates.Despair was taking over Chris at that point, seeing as the world was crumbling before his very eyes.“Matriarch, are you sure about this?”Harold asks.Behind them was the majority of their army of golems and beast, ranging from different types and sizes, all armed for the battle. They covered an entire hill and parts of the city, shrouding the areas like a shadow.He and the other leaders stood on top of the tallest building that was facing the last base on their list. There, they got a good view of the entire place, giving him a grasp of its entirety.“We have no more time to lose. If we continue to wait, the damages to the world is going to be massive.”From how the rampaging weather to the uncontrolled earthquakes, he was certain that this was all an aftereffect of the convergence.Though he did not w
“Their back.”The two men ended their conversation when they noticed the additional people heading towards them.From afar they were sure it was the sergeant, seeing his flames jumping from one building to another.“That was fast.”Harold states, furrowing upon checking his watch. It had only been about ten minutes since they left, and they were already returning there.“And they seem to have brought some stow aways.”Chris’s gaze narrowed in on them.His face creasing the moment he took notice of the people following the man. It caught his attention, as the individuals were blinking from one location to the next. An ability which he was certain was limited to a few in the gang.Both men heaved a sigh the minute the group appeared before them. They ended up pressing a finger to their temples, suddenly having that pounding sensation in their heads.“Sir Chris, we’ve got the soldiers to surrender, and we also found these three posing as evacuees.”Raynald’s face was dark, sterns while t
About several thousand of the golems surrounded the base, facing both in and out of the place. Beast scattered across the city in search of any remaining civilians, all the while patrolling.They continued on with the evacuation, making sure that every person got accounted as they entered the sanctum.The only thing that remained a struggle to them was finding the infernal machine. As neither the power users, nor his summons, could locate where it was.They’d been searching the place for hours, having discovered several secret hideouts, but not a single room contained any useful information.“Matriarch, I think you ought to get down here and take a look at what we found.”Finny’s voice sounded on their receiver, causing both of them to frown. The two have not yet come up, which could only mean that the place underneath that base was deep.“Tell Raynald we’re heading down. He’s in charge now. And have Selena assist him.”He did not waste any minutes, calling forth some of the reserve g
