Capítulo 10: CHAPTER - 10 { Evil Cult }
Two months in the OPM world and I had already gained noticeable respect from the people.
Even the staff members and workers in the Hero Association were the same.
"Sir Thor, please."
Jake stood patiently before the door and gestured to me. I went ahead and was greeted by the sight of hundreds of people.
They all were giving the physical test to become a hero and get registered in the hero list.
This time, I was asked by the staff to attain the exam and oversee if any problem were to arise.
Some won't be able to pass the test and might cause ruckus for the workers so he had to deal with them.
But just seeing my figure, the rowdy batch of wannabe heroes went quiet.
"Woh! Sir, you are truly admiring."
Jake walked behind me and said with great joy. I was kind of pleased with this situation but maintained a stern expression.
Amongst these participants, I recognized a few familiar faces seen in the anime season one.
Spring Mustachio, Biting Snake Fist Sneck, Feather, and a few more lower rankers.
…
The examination finished and the results were passed on to the participants.
I had nothing else to do so I joined Darkshine in the gym to train though there wasn't any need.
Still, it was just to bring calm in my mind.
"Sir Thor, we need you at the control room."
Jake came into the gym and informed me. Since I was free anyways, I excused myself and left the gym with him.
As soon as I entered the room, Busho and Jinzuren were looking hesitant. Puzzled, I asked.
"Is it monsters again?"
"... No. Actually, we wouldn't have troubled sir Thor for this but Zombieman is already on his own mission. We can't contact him."
Busho answered. I nodded and stepped beside him to look at the details of the mission on the monitor screen.
"You want me to… find something?"
I scrolled through the information. After two months they all believed that I learned their language.
"Yes. There's a suspicious group of people conducting rituals in the mountains near City N. We just want you to find out what kind of ritual they are doing."
"Why me? I barely know much about this world."
"That's because others have refused saying that they have work. Only you and Darkshine were left. One S-Class hero is needed to protect the Headquarters."
"Then why did you not have Darkshine do it?"
"You both are strong but compared to Darkshine, we guessed you might be interested in this. We heard that you are very bored these days."
"That… is true."
I thought about it for a moment and accepted the mission.
Like Busho said, I was bored. This mission was a way for me to do something fun.
Evil cult, here I come.
* * *
Mountain range, near City N.
Several figures dressed in black cloaks stood in a wide round circle. There were patterns drawn in the middle.
"It's time! Our prayers have been heard!"
The cult leader, an elderly man, extended his arms wide and said out loudly so everyone could hear.
"Finally! She heard us!"
"Now it's our time to rule the world!"
Men and women in the black cloaks all rejoiced. They couldn't express the happiness they were feeling.
Years, it took them years to get to this day.
The leader closed his head and shouted.
"Now! Let us call her to this world! Say her name!"
"Alice! The Queen of Blood!"
"Alice! The Queen of Blood!"
"Alice! The Queen of Blood!"
In union, they shouted. The night sky filled with clouds, cleared as the clouds dispersed and let the moonlight fall on the drawn pattern.
"Queen of Blood! Please bestow your grace upon this world! Let the damn be your slaves and us, your followers and worshipers, be the nobles!"
WOOSH!
Strong blows of wind blew on the mountains. The silver moon in the sky was slowly getting dyed red.
The pattern drawn in the middle started to glow in a bright light. All the cult members were super excited.
"Haha! Come to this world! Alice!"
The elderly leader clenched his fists and shouted. His voice was still somewhat youthful and vigorous.
"Not so fast."
A deep voice resonated in the area. The cult members were surprised as they found a silhouette approaching them from within the woods.
Once in the red light of the red moon, they saw that it was a tall man with long hair and a gigantic hammer resting on his shoulder.
His eyes were like abyss, completely black and only coloured pupils.
"Who are you, bastard! How dare you interrupt this wonderful welcome of our queen!"
The leader roared at Thor from his position, not willing to move from there.
"Are you calling a demon?"
"You! You dare dirty our queen's image by calling her a demon! She is beautiful! The true owner of all the worlds!"
He was stunned and turned furious. Thor's words were like sharp knives cutting his heart.
Unfortunately they can't move or else the ceremony might be canceled and their queen won't be able to enter this world.
'We have to buy time.'
The cult members knew how vulnerable they were currently.
If this ceremony was gone, they might never be able to perform again. And their queen would also never listen to them.
"Hahah! Let me tell you about our queen! She is the most precious gift born for any living being!"
Thor put his mind not on the cult leader's speech but on the patterns.
He was not sure but something about that made him believe that he was going to see a strong foe.
Alice, the Queen of Blood.
Why does this name sound familiar to me? Have I heard it before? I can't remember well enough.
"That's why she is our queen! Now bow down before me, your senior and soon to become noble!"
The elderly leader concluded his mesmerizing speech and smiled broadly.
The patterns on the ground glowed even brighter and started pulsating like blood vessels on the ground.
Under the red mood, these patterns also turned into red color.
SQUIRM!
These patterns wriggled and moved towards the center of the circle. Everyone's eyes were focused on what the next thing was going to be.
Thor placed Mjolnir on the ground and crossed his arms over his chest. With a curious face, he also watched in silence.
The blood vessels like patterns collided together and formed a ball of red fluid.
Inside that ball, weird movements occurred. The ball of red darkened and floated a few inches above the ground.
BOOM!
With a burst, the ball of dark red fluid exploded and splashed around.
THUD!
A body fell on the ground from that ball, it was a human-like creature with long black hair.
"Weak… I am weak… I need food… Food!"
Thor heard the low growls from that creature. It looked dried and weak, so thin that if he lay a finger it might break.
'Demon… Demon! Kill! Kill her!'
Suddenly, Mjolnir's voices filled with disgust and rage rang in his mind.
This reminded him about his mission. They asked him to just get more information about the evil cult but here he was, on the verge of a new battle.
"Isn't it a great mission? I should go on more missions like this."
Unknowingly, Thor was excited and prepared to fight against the unknown demon before his eyes.
