°°°°°
At the same time, another provocative sound resounded from the void of space.
Xiu! Wu wu!
The monster abruptly looked up, but the 'wu wu' sound had already disappeared, no matter what kind of clairvoyance it tried to use, it couldn't discover the other party.
A moment of silence.
From the void of space, a furious roar resounded: [Stop, I order you to stop.]
It threw Alex away.
Alex flew several dozen meters before landing without issues.
He was about to say something else, when the pair of spiky hands turned in mid-air, waved them towards the tombstones.
「 Slumbering seeds under the ground, it is time for you to awaken 」the monster recited with a highly raised voice.
Instantly, the entire vast graveyard began to move.
Even the largest tomb the size of a bell tower began to break in half.
Having seen this, Alex didn't say anything else and ran away.
The monster laughed in a low voice: 「 You won't escape, this entire world shall face the fate of destruction, let alone a mere mortal like yourself 」
Alex ignored that.
He was running as fast as he could back where he came.
Hurry!
I need to be quicker!
Even quicker!!!
The monsters are all about to be resurrected!
This thing was really strong to the point Alex thought maybe it was Bahamut's clone in disguise but he was not sure. He had to escape first. Not only he got a low rank in the army, somehow the rules of this world seemed to have been overwritten and his strength limited.
Previously, he had sent some part of the Heaven Soaring Shuttle, some shards in the sky, to hide in the clouds just in the case. It was what he used to make diversion upon getting caught. The shards flew while letting slip a bit of spiritual force (SE), the monster must have thought it was an enemy hiding and looking down on the latter because he hadn't felt his presence beforehand.
And as a powerful monster it couldn't tolerate this thus tossing the weak mortal to the side to focus on this unknown enemy, this give Alex the chance to escape.
〖Heh Alex, you're already running away before any reasonable amount of fighting?〗
"That's not it, just that before I act, I feel like——"
Alex's voice turned cold: "Someone should pay the price for the deaths of these cavalrymen.''
Using something he hadn't used for a while. The God's mask to transform into an ordinary soldier.
He activated Shadow Walk again and again while also flying forward at full speed to reach the border of the black fog.
Controlling the Heaven Soaring Shuttle, Alex provoked the monster, he also asked Silveria to provoke the monster while performing a specific task. He had to do something in order for the monster to think it was their leader's fault.
Alex then rushed forward again, traversing the distance of a thousand meters in a few seconds.
He left the black fog.
Three rolls.
Two rolls.
He had to be convincing so he went all out in his acting.
He finally stopped.
Alex sat crouched on the ground, spat up some blood, then shouted in utter panic: "General! General sir!!"
Everyone was still waiting in place, but heard the resounding voices from earlier.
While they were still unsure of what happened, this wounded cavalryman had already returned.
The General, Kade scowled and shouted: "What happened? What happened there?"
Alex cried out: "Everyone was killed, that monster was too powerful! It was too powerful! It said that if we're so weak; if even our leader doesn't have the courage to enter the black fog to fight it, then we should just surrender and become its slaves, this way we can at least survive!"
Complete silence.
Kade took a deep breath, trying to retain his calm.
'I'm currently the General, I'm currently the General, I can't do anything that violates my identity——–
Two of my subordinates who violated their identities have already vanished.'
Kade recited this a few times, then suddenly laughed.
"Such weak provocations, how could I be deceived——"
Suddenly, the monster's voice resounded from the black fog, overpowering Kade's voice.
「 AAARRrgggh! Human leader! 」
「 I shall be waiting for you in the black fog. If you're nothing but an utter coward, then silently wait for the black fog to spread. At that time, the entire world shall fall by my hands! 」
Everyone was stunned.
That really was the monster's voice!
It had issued an official challenge to the human leader!
Everyone turned to their General at once
At this point, the surviving cavalryman wiped his face, speaking in a grudgeful voice: "General sir, the brothers have all fallen, this subordinate begs you to take revenge for them!"
Revenge…
The General was caught in everyone's gaze, standing still with his mouth half-opened, completely speechless.
If I still refuse to go in now…
Apparently… it would violate… the identity of the General…
He silently thought, then confirmed this answer.
Meanwhile, Alex disguised as the soldier was bloody all over, his head still bleeding as he sat crouched on the snow, clearly someone who had just desperately returned to deliver news.
Kade was so mad that he was clenching his teeth, but in front of so many people, he couldn't do anything.
'This monster is extremely powerful. Should I go into the black fog confront this monster?
Nah! It's too dangerous to go without knowing anything about the enemy.
But if I don't go and violate my identity, I'm as good as dead.
How should I deal with the current situation?
Even if I am their leader, a leader who refuses to face the enemy even after being provoked is an unworthy leader.
Unless something unexpected happened…
Unexpected…
What kind of unexpected situation could occur at this point in time?
Do I say I have a stomachache?
——That will probably send me straight into the center of the Apocalypse by the rules of this world.'
Kade was lost in thoughts, unable to come to a decision.
Alex coldly watched while continuing playing pretend.
Suddenly, Kade's gaze quickly scanned through everyone here.
'All of these people are too weak, if my subordinates were here, I'd at least be able to attempt fighting…'
While he was thinking, a bit of commotion could be heard at the gate of the city.
"General! General!"
Someone called out.
Everyone turned back, only to see a group of 20 well-armed soldiers being led by an officer towards them.
They quickly arrived in front of Kade, saluted him, then loudly said: "General, please take us into combat with you!"
Kade was surprised. He observed this group and nodded inwardly. They could be used.
''Let's go.'' He decided to use them.
The soldiers were overjoyed.
At this point, the soldier who managed to escape the black fog had been carried onto a stretcher.
He suddenly raised his fist up high and shouted: "Praise the great General!"
Everyone followed suit: "Praise the great General!"
"Praise the great General!"
"Praise the great General!"
Kade nodded.
'There's only one choice right now.
Since I can't violate my identity, and now there are usable men under my command, there's nothing else to do but fight.'
Kade rode a horse in front, bringing 20 special soldiers with him.
They quickly disappeared into the black fog.
Other than them, the others remained around the vicinity of the black fog, preparing to face the enemy.
Only Alex was being carried away on a stretcher by two soldiers through the city gates.
As they reached the front of the city gates, a recruitment officer rode a horse alongside them.
He had his horse matched the pace of the stretcher and asked Alex.
''How bad are your wounds?" He asked.
"I'll survive" Alex replied.
The two of them nodded and said nothing else.
Silveria was back after completing her task.
〖I didn't think you'd be able to force him into a corner so well. You can pretty smart when you want.〗
Alex helplessly said: "He wanted to get rid of me first—— I'll be honest, originally I wanted to observe a bit before deciding on a game plan, but now I can see that these monsters had better be eliminated as soon as possible"
〖You are right. This world is complex then expected. This Bahamut is sure something. Let's follow and play by his rules for now. I'm curious about his ability, what kind of ability you'll get after killing him.〗Silveria declared.
Alex could imagine Silveria licking her lips when she uttered these words.
Like she had said, he was curious as well and couldn't wait to acquire this ability. It would not be easy but it was what make adventure thrilling.
''I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ability I'll acquire.''
Alex responded with a thin smile.
°°°°°
While chatting, time passed quickly.
After entering the city, Alex was brought to a rehabilitation ward while Kade was about to confront the powerful enemy in the black fog.
