"Jenny!!!"
Elric's eyes were filled with warmth and distress, when looking at his daughter.
When has his beloved daughter suffered so much? One look at her, and you'll know she has been through hell and back over these last couple of days.
You have to know that the time they arrived here was when he saw the creature grab his baby girl and place it in its mouth.
Elric's legs instantly turned soft, as he subconsciously strangled Wiggins, while yelling at the top of his voice.
"You put my baby down, you lowly beast!"
[Wiggins who was suffocating]: (-_-)
At that moment, Elric cursed at his weakness as a human.
Dammit!
Had he been stronger, would such beings dare to mess with his previous daughter?
Elric, who had already reached a high position of power in the country, suddenly wanted to stand on top of these creatures and put his flag of victory on their skulls.
This was why he decided that after this matter was over, he would join whatever organization the Grandmaster came from.
No! It shouldn't be an organization. From the word 'disciple,' it seems to be a school, doesn't it?
If such a thing happens to his daughter again, should he always call on the people?
Eric wasn't one to solely rely on others over and over. That's why he preferred to enter deep waters and understand matters for himself.
Even if he had to work with them, at least it was better than his former clueless self who didn't even know these beings lurked around the human world.
Damn. He even wondered if there were any monsters hiding under his bed or in his closet.
The Boogie Man won't be real, right?
(!×!)
Jenny opened her eyes and had to take off her cracked glasses and wipe them again. This was to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. After all she witnessed, even she couldn't trust her eyes anymore.
"Da-- dad?... Daddy!!"
Jenny was about to rush over, but everyone grabbed her back vigilantly.
"Jenny! Remember! There are creatures in this place that take on the form of our most beloved people. So how are you sure he's real?"
[Elric]:... I get that you're trying to keep my daughter safe, so I will forgive you for now.
Elric gave Rudolf a fierce glare, but Rudolf didn't back down.
It was strange to say that none of them thought of why they suddenly escaped from death's claws.
Instead, they were too preoccupied by the emergence of these sudden strangers. After all, in the history of humanity's time in this place, no one has ever been able to enter space unless it was 100 years later. So they had every right to be suspicious.
Too bad Dorian didn't have time for their so-called vigilance.
With a few hand gestures, he made them fly and mingle with Elric's group.
Up, up, and away we go.
(0?0)
Chris's eyes burned with shock, seeing blue streaks leave Dorian's body.
Who am I? What am I? Are you sure humans have always had such abilities?
Was it real magic?
Now, Chris no longer believes in the God of Science. Facts are in front of you and you want to say it's a chemical phenomenon that occurs when x meets y in a Z-plane?
No way! You must be joking.
What do mathematical equations have to do with this?
For heaven's sake! The guy shot blue thunder out of his finger!
Whether it was Chris, Rudolf, Bassano, Merlin and the rest, everyone was dumbfounded.
"All questions will be answered at your base."
Elder Endo quenched their curiosity, while maintaining the flying formation.
How to put it?
The elders and Academy students formed a flying square formation, with Haru in the center.
Dorian flew alone, leaving them to transport the group. After all, it was part of their training.
Unless they were desperate, he wouldn't move a muscle while here.
The experience was akin to them flying on a magic carpet, except, there was no carpet at all, but an invisible floor helped by connecting talismans that glowed blue.
Of course, not everyone focused on the formation.
"Sonic Hammer!"
Bang!
One of the disciples slammed a creature that flew up into the air after them. But he wasn't the only one fighting.
The group was now floating sky high in the air. Even so, the creatures kept coming, hunting from the tree points and trying to grab them at every chance that came their way.
There were hundreds and even thousands of them with bloodshot eyes that spoke of their extreme hunger.
But why? Why did they suddenly go berserk?
Dorian floated lazily, watching the turmoil unfold.
'Loki.'
He created this place for his amusement, probably after dealing with his underworld friends.
The creatures here should also be restricted to some level, so as not to kill all humans at once. This was probably why the creatures attacked the humans in relatively fewer numbers along the journey for food hunting and information gathering.
This was all Dorian's speculation. Only after reaching the base can they understand how this ace truly works.
As for why the creatures became berserk, it was because of their sudden entry into the space.
You see... Unlike the other people who came once every 100 years, the scent on their bodies had a distinct smell.
This meant the creatures could eat their fill without the fear of any consequences. This was why they looked at Dorian's group like fat sheep.
Their eyes were so clouded by absolute hunger that they couldn't think right. But among the many creatures, only 3 remained calm within a cave located at the other end of the space.
One of them was the 'man' who spoke to Rudolf's team that fateful night before their disappearance.
"Who?... Who dares enter without my permission?"
The man slowly rose to his feet, as overly long horns suddenly popped out from his head.
Unlike the rest, he was a general in Prince Lucifer's camp.
Generals had more than 12 main ranks to climb, and a variety of sub ranks within each main rank to advance from.
It's true that he was at the lowest grade of the main rank, and even at the lowest sub-rank within his main rank... But that doesn't mean he isn't amazing.
He, General Bathalotio, had a legion of 2,000 underworld beings working for him. And they were all in this space, for the assignment of pleasing Loki to keep the relationship with their Prince good.
In here, he was the overseer, ensuring things ran smoothly as planned. So what was this? Why the sudden disturbance in the force?
The horned general sniffed deeply, allowing his bull-like horns to tear off his human disguise. And in another second, he was gone.
.
"Look! Look! What is that?"
Standing outside the mansion were several others who came out to understand why the many creatures had suddenly gone berserk.
It seems the group of people can't believe their eyes, also shocked by Jenny and the rest flying sky high.
(°π°)
They stared at the scene with dropped jaws, watching the flying crew enter their safe space and land with no flying technologies or even a carpet underneath their butts.
For a moment, they didn't know how to react.
"Vladimir, James..." Bassano called out, waking the other stupefied team leaders up. He didn't need to speak more because everyone silently followed the strangers into the mansion with a million questions in mind.
How did they come to this world when the 100 year period has already passed? F***!
Did you see the magic tricks they just pulled to get here?
Given their godly skills, are they even sure they are human at this point?
Entering the grand mansion, whether it was Henry, Wiggins, Berry, or everyone else, they were still in disbelief that Bassanoa and the others were people from several hundreds of years ago.
Unbelievable!
Who would've thought the famous Bassona, who was reported missing, had been suffering here for 200 years now?
"Since you're here to defeat these monsters on our behalf, it would be rude of us not to offer you refreshments." Bassano offered.
Food was running out, but with the help of these strangers, they should at least be able to find the Food hill and restock their goods before the deadline nears.
Food?
Dorian chuckled, staring at the juicy apple in his hands. And with a single breath from him the apple turned black.
Ahhhh!!!!!
The group's face turned deadly pale, seeing the black hideous apple wiggle and ooze green fluid from within.
Puff!
A slithering worm with a snack-head they had never seen before suddenly popped from the inside, and wiggled desperately towards the many humans around it.
"We... We ate these?"
Bassano's group couldn't wait to puke the hundred years of food out of their systems.
Seeing their reaction, Dorian chuckled, tilting his head lazily.
The food was the least of their worries because as he saw things right now... they were all dead.
