"Feauv... Sorry to keep you waiting for an hour," the leader of the guild said to Nixxin.
Nixxin stared at them at the table. "It's fine... It's just an hour." It feels really awkward because he never imagined himself being looked at as an angel.
The man in front, a middle-aged man, is tall and muscular. He is looking at Feauv in total confusion. "So... Is that real?"
Nixxin glances at his wings. Nixxin moves his wings, and the man nods at him. "So... You're an investigator? That's impossible."
Nixxin looks at him. "I'm sorry... But I stopped investigating after I grew wings, but I also have experience of area clearing."
Nixxin picks up a pen. The man stands up and whispers something to Util, the old man, the owner of the graveyard, garden, library, or underground facility, whatever you want to call it, smiles at him... Nixxin smiles back at the old man...
The man approaches again, "I am Lando, and I would like to accept you at our guild."
Nixxin stands up and shakes the man's hand. "Thank you, Sir Lando?"
The man smiles and says, "I will give you your hero card and change it... You can leave now or you can stay at the graveyard."
Nixxin smiles back, damn... That's kinda rude, but why is everyone smiling? Nixxin stepped out of the graveyard since he left it, and it changed so much; it got larger, and it now has a cafe... And the guild has its own house and tavern... Nixxin didn't expect any of this; it feels like he is the problem in the graveyard.
Nixxin stands outside Wia's house; the barricade isn't that high, but he can't just break into someone's house. Nixxin also can't fly; even with his wings, it can only cost a little bit of movement in his body... Nixxin tried to fly and flap his wings, damn. Are these wings just for the weather? Nixxin walks past the house, and look again, Nixxin stares at the pavement and sighs... I didn't notice it; it's already night.
Nixxin came back to his apartment, opened the TV, and watched the news... "We have a big problem in Bridhy-T; a rising villain named 'Rebel' was tracked down and is now going to Bridhy-T. We suggest that the people of the whole continent in Bridhy evacuate, as the villain has a very strong destructive capability that caused him to rise to the top easily. He will soon arrive at the shore at an estimated eleven forty-six PM. This is a warning... He has an 8.87 tier... This is a warning."
Nixxin dropped the mug he was holding; it fell on the floor and caused a leak through the floor. He looked outside the window; people are rushing outside. Damn... It makes sense... My neighbors didn't shout at me at the leak... They might already be outside, so they're at the Bridhy-T; I have to get back... Nixxin looked at his watch; it's already 10:40. Crossing a continent? If I were to run, it would take me roughly about twelve hours of non-stop running, but the train station is already full...
Nixxin jumps out of the window and runs to the nearest train station; as expected, it's already full. Nixxin looked at everyone running, yelling, panicking... He doesn't... He doesn't understand why... Why does he have to go to that place? As if Wia won't just go to the train stations with his family, as if other heroes need him... As if he could do something to fight someone who's a thousand times stronger, faster, and better than him... A sudden burst of air hit everyone.
Nixxin looks above; he sees someone flying... I wished my wings were just as useful as that... "Feauv!"
Nixxin is shocked to hear his name; it's from the man flying. Nixxin's body starts flying with the air around it; it's Aeolous... He is smiling at the sky. "You're Feauv, right?"
Nixxin looked at Aeolous, and he laughs... "Hey... Don't be rude... Or I'll cry,"
Nixxin smiles. "You're not a kid, you know."
The air start guiding them at the sky, Aeolous is saying something, but Nixxin can't hear anything... Nixxin just laughs because it seems like Aeolous is joking. Nixxin and Aeolous start accelerating at the sky... Nixxin covered his eyes. Is this mach speed? A mile per hour? No, it's not... It's faster... How did they become this strong? With this speed, he is already a star hero... Well, as expected, he was always the strongest between us.
After fifty minutes, they're already at the Bridhy-T... They looked at the ground; everything is safe, except for the dome... The hero association might have already caught the rebel, because there's already a battle dome to keep everyone safe outside the dome. But the problem is the dome is perfect for the rebel to spam his ability.
While flying, they got hit by a massive wall of air. "What was that?" Nixxin looks at the dome.
The rebel's ability comes from an entity, Depraved Eye Gate "Ira"; his Ira can cause his body to explode at a nuclear level whenever he wants to, and this something about him makes his free will fuel be at a massive level... "That smoke is inside... It isn't just smoke,"
Nixxin looked at Aeolous. "Should we enter it."
Aeolous looked at him and just smiled. "Of course!"
Nixxin and Aeolous enter thrust mode with the air. They hit the ground and clear the smoke inside; there are already many heroes inside, and there's one standing in the middle; his body is glitching... He doesn't wear a shirt; he is jacked... The man looked back.
Nixxin stared at his black eyes; they were empty, with just a stare, and it already made Nixxin freeze... It's like seeing a demon king; there's something that makes him want to flee. It feels like the same way as the first time he met a demon king, and then his key instantly summoned him, and he heard a voice: "Emperor, you're in danger!"
Nixxin snapped out of his fear and started gasping for air. "Don't worry, Ardent... I got this."
The gate of Datora opened uncontrollably. Ardent and a giant with a shield went out of the gate. Ardent looked at Nixxin. "Hone, keep the emperor safe."
Ardent drew his sword and looked at the rebel. Ardent jumped to the rebel, trying to strike the rebel at his chest, but the rebel held the sword instantly. Nixxin jumped beside the rebel and punched the rebel's arm, then he soon kicked...
The Rebel flies off, and then someone throws a karambit at the Rebel, and it explodes. A robed man appears and cuts the Rebel's hand, but it's not working...
The Rebel catches the robed man by its neck, and Londo kicks the Rebel at its back. The Rebel looks at Londo. The robed man jumps near Hone. "Nixxin... What are you doing here?"
Nixxin looks at the robed man. "Who are you?"
The robed man throws fifteen karambits at the back of the Rebel, and Londo kicks the Rebel with his two feet. All the karambits hit the Rebel; all of them explode, and Ardent looks at it, a man teleporting while slashing the enemy... Is this my technique? This is stupid; it won't work. Then the rebel suddenly started to glow.
Ardent pulled Nixxin behind Hone's gigantic shield. A barrier appeared around them, and then the robed man appeared out of nowhere and knocked desperately. Nixxin saw his face; the robed man, it's Johan. After the explosion, Nixxin looks at Johan with Londo right behind him. Londo's back is burning; all of the muscle behind his body is destroyed.
Hone quickly launched forward, but he stopped as soon as he floated in the air; he never imagined himself being lifted by air. Hone is trying to grab anything on the ground, and he soon just struck his shield in the ground.
Nixxin looks at the top, where he sees Aeolous; he is using so much blood... Is that his own blood or from the donated blood? And then he sees many slashes at the sky; it is Aeolus's favorite ability, but Johan already tried this; it just won't work. And then Nixxin looks at his hand. "I'm starting to feel useless with my ability again."
Ardent opened the gate again. "We can't just risk our lives here." Johan lifts Londo to the gate. Ardent expands the gate for Johan, and Johan falls inside the gate with Londo.
Nixxin looks around. "There's no backup? It's literally just almost two minutes since I entered the dome; many things already happened."
Ardent stepped forward near Nixxin. "I have a better plan."
Nixxin looks at Ardent. "What is it?"
Ardent stares at the sky, full of deadly air and explosions. "We should trap him in a trap I planned inside the Datora; I created it a year ago, and I planned it out to be completely secure."
Nixxin sees Ardent smile; he already knew what would happen. Ardent never intended to kill anyone; he's created for survival, for winning, and for safety. Nixxin wanted to ask, but he already knew what the answer was.
