Chapter 166: Beginning of Devastating



Chapter 166: Beginning of Devastating

"What?"

Rob can't believe what he just heard. 

"How did you..."

Rob drop his weapon. Then holding his head which started to hurt.

"That girl, is-"

"No!"  

The red-haired Bounty Hunter again tried to manipulate his mind.

"This girl-this is the subject of our freedom! This is the price that we have to pay for our freedom!"

Rob tries hard to defend his statement. But at that, the red-haired Bounty Hunter looks at Rob with a regret, and disappointment face. 

"Long ago, a woman sacrificed her soul to give birth to that girl, and you are the father of her."

Those words sparked something in Rob's head, which made him feel dizzy and his vision began to blur.

----//----

"Come here, you!"

Someone brings him by force to a certain room. 

In the room, he could see there is one Priest who just done taken care of a woman who gave birth.

"So he is the father!"

The Priest surprised because he was the man who was promised to be brought in to see the birth of his child.

There he looks to the only bed in the room, where there is a woman sitting with a baby in her arms. 

He didn't dare to look at the woman's face, but from the shape of her mouth, she seems angry at him.

"Come on in! The baby is a girl!"

The Priest told him to enter the room. But his feet told him to don't. 

"Come on!"

There, he being pushed again to enter the room. 

Entering the room, he only looked at the sleeping baby.

A baby, female genital. A sentient being who has just been born into the world. At such a young age, she still doesn't have the consciousness. She only lives to grow herself up. But after a certain age, she will begin to have awareness in thinking, and there she will see the world in which she lives.

A dark, full of misery world. 

----//----

"Guh!"

Rob just saw a strange memory. Memory where he attended a birth of his daughter.

"What is-"

Something suddenly came crashing into the building, startling both of them.

"Fuuuck! I hate this!"

That is the voice of a man that turned into a demon, Jared.

The demon man lost his left hand, but still looked fine. 

Jared realized that Rob and the Bounty Hunter were looking at him.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?! Why is the atmosphere so quiet?!"

Rob got back to reality because of Jared's anger. Without saying a word, he boarded the jet which finally functioning again.

"Robert-!"

Arlene wants to approach the jet plane, but got intercepted by Jared.

"I won't go any further if I were you."

Jared is a Demon. Arlene is the holder of the Black Sky Spine. They are both strong individuals. 

But Arlene wasn't holding the Black Sky Spine. Jared also lost a lot of steam. Neither of them wanted to take the risk of starting a hand-to-hand battle.

The jet plane is finally functional and ready to fly.

"Let's go!"

Jared boarded the jet. The two of them once again flew up and shot forward.

Arlene could only watch them silently. But not after [Abyssal Armor: Jet Motorbike mode] came to pick him up. He immediately stepped on the gas to chase Rob again.

Above in the jet plane, Jared witnessed the Bounty Hunter not giving up on pursuing them.

"Tch! Hey, that fucker is chasing us again! Do you have anything to-"

Jared is talking to his client. But for some reason, his client turned silent. So silent that Jared didn't recognize the man known as a mad scientist.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

In that case, Jared didn't want to care and left the mad scientist in his world.

"Now, how do I have to deal with you?"

Jared tried to think. The opponent still had the Black Sky Spine, one of the Seven Color Weapons. But for some reason, he didn't shoot their jet which he should have been able to do earlier.

Jared is badly injured and doesn't have much dark mana supply for him to use. Even if he tried to attack, that might would trigger the Bounty Hunter to shoot them with the Black Sky Spine and they wouldn't be able to do anything but accept the reality.

"Oh yeah, I still have the troops I have stored at the entrance to this region!"

Jared immediately took his war horn. A pitch-black horn that made Jared tremble every time he wanted to blow it.

"Oh yeah, I remember. Lady Constance also said to sound this horn right in front of the Subject of the Pure Birth Demon when things are urgent."

Even though it was an order from the master, Jared somehow had a bad feeling.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to try. This kid locked up in a tight box after all."

Jared took a deep breath. His troops were hiding behind a mountain at the entrance to the Ruins of Ancient Cognity. So he blew the horn hard so his troops could hear.

___________

A while before Jared blew his war horn /

Hydra has completely come out of hell. A wingless dragon. He is not as big as the Green Boy, but he is very long, and had nine heads.

Green Tree Family is trying to fight it. 

"Watch out for that one head!"

"Which one?!"

"That one looks like it wants to breathe fire!"

"Supporter!"

One Hydra head, no, there are three in total who want to breathe fire in different directions.

Jade controls the Green Tree to create three trunks shaped like shields. On each trunk, there is a Support that will strengthen the trunk.

They will face Hydra's fire breath with that. Until a horn sounds and stops the Hydra's movement.

Jade and her group also stopped moving, waiting for what would happen.

"What is happening?!" asked Hwang. 

Jade took the opportunity to take a breath. "That horn just now, is Jared's doing, right?"

Nobody else has a war horn besides the Black Hunter. 

A member, a Tank who previously come down to take care of Jared, came to Jade with an apology.

"I'm sorry to inform you, boss. But previously, we failed to execute that bastard."

"So he actually managed to escape."

Even though they had let go of the leader of the Black Hunter group, Jade didn't feel angry or disappointed.

"That's okay. For now, we just focus on dealing with this Catastrophe."

The catastrophe being silent. Jade didn't want to take the risk of making an attack.

Then suddenly, the Catastrophe, Hydra, walked forward by shifting Green boy.

That certainly shook all the members and almost made them all fall.

Jade shifts the Green Boy to let the Catastrophe through.

"What is happening?!" Hwang hugged his branch tightly to prevent from falling.

Jade doesn't understand. They got hit by [debuff: Catastrophe omen], but the Catastrophe instead went past them.

"Lady Jade!"

Someone calls Jade from above.

Jade looked up and found Elisa flying with Ars.

"There is something going on in the back!"

Elisa pointed at Jade's back. Elisa pointed at Jade's back.

Jade controlled all of Green Boy's branches, bringing all of her underlings to head backwards.

There, they found the Hydra on alert. All of its heads were making a fuss caused by a black ball floating in the air.

Close to the black ball, the pieces from the jet plane fell to the ground. There are two men fell as well to the ground.

Because of that shocking thing, Jared doesn't want to save his client. He just wanted to get ready to hit the surface.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Rob fell down at high speed. He doesn't have any special abilities or a strong body. So it was very likely that he would die immediately if he fell to the ground. But not when he's saved by someone.

Far behind, Elisa afraid to see the floating black ball.

"Hey, Ars, what is that?"

She tried to ask the man who seemed to know what was going on.

"Well-well." Not answering Elisa's question, Ars pointed his right hand forward. "It seems all these things have turned into very complicated matters."

Ars perform [Dragonoid Scale: Five Layer, Red Flower]. For one reason protecting both of them from something going to come.

Jade saw Ars's response and did the same.

"Supporter! Ready your barrier!"

Jade brought together all the supporters to recite an Art.

The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet. Likewise, the Hydra who were previously busy because of the appearance of the floating dark ball.

For one reason, the existence of the wind was lost. All that was heard is the sound of the dark floating ball that sounded dreadful.

"Aina?"

Arlene looked up, at the dark floating ball that contained a little girl inside.

When the atmosphere felt like it was piercing, everyone held their breath, waiting. 

Until a dark wind wave exploded and spread very wide. 

"BARRIER!"

All those who are in refuge in whatever they have. Because the great dark wind wave is devastating.
