บท 400: I Miss You
"Hey, guide mind giving us a hand?" Haru looked at Lycaon who has been silently just sitting in the corner.
But hearing him being called Lycaon opened his eyes and looked at Dok-ja, he was basically asking for permission and…
'Don't look at me you are making me the center of attention, and why are you looking at me to complete your duty anyway?' Dok-ja just silently nodded and the reason for Lycaon's current behavior was that he respected Dok-ja a lot.
One of the reasons was that Dok-ja had the protection symbol of the Imyuntar that he got after killing the dragon in An-guk Station, and the second reason was that Dok-ja guided him to enlightenment unexpectedly without any planning.
Leaving all of that aside…
"That I can," Lycaon said as wind wrapped around the meteorite and it was lifted up.
"Oh, so easy," Jin-ah was just happy that she didn't have to do any work now, yes, another reason for the backup team was to have them help in bringing the Meteorite back.
Jin-ah's job would've been to freeze the ground to make it slippery so that they can pull the meteorite, what were they gonna use to pull on it?
"Yes, I thought it would take a while before we would be able to get it back to the base, but this was easier and we were able to put more attention to the defense as well," Sang-ah smiled but currently she was having many complicated thoughts.
But there was no time for that as they needed to move, and that is what they did.
The journey back to Zenobia's base was smooth, with Gil-young keeping an eye out for monsters and announcing their arrival the fighters were able to handle them easily not to mention that….
'Since when were they this good?' Dok-ja couldn't help but think looking at Gil-young and Sang-ah, both of them were performing way better than he thought they would.
"You find her suspicious as well right?" It was then that Soo-young spoke to Dok-ja, her eyes were fixed on Sang-ah since earlier and…
"What do you mean?" Dok-ja asked and Soo-young scoffed.
"Don't act, I noticed her back in Chung-muro, she was like a scared little mouse back then, but look at her now, something is definitely up with her," Soo-young said as…
"What do you think Dok-ja? Didn't I get stronger?" Gil-young spoke to Dok-ja proudly, he wanted to impress him with how much he has grown.
"Ah, yes, you've grown strong," Dok-ja said patting Gil-young's head, he would need to think about what Soo-young said later since he had the same thought, not to mention that…
"You shouldn't use multiple stigmas at the same time," Haru said to Sang-ah as she was constantly running across the air while using her threads to capture the monsters so that others could kill them easily.
"Well, are they stigmas? Hmm, I may have said something dumb?" Haru laughed as Sang-ah shook her head.
"They are Stigmas, I'll use them less often now," Sang-ah said with a weak smile, she could understand why he said that since she was also feeling a lot of physical strain on her body.
"Use them without any hesitation when you are in danger though," Haru said and Sang-ah nodded seriously since that was when Stigmas were supposed to be used as they were similar to trump cards.
But for Sang-ah who lacked any form of combat experience and such they were her only cards that was until…
'I need to get better, I'll train more after I get back,' Sang-ah also had her reason for being so active, just that it was different from Gil-youngs's, or was it the same? It was a complicated situation.
Well, a good distance away from them someone else was also in a complicated situation. And that was….
'Bastards!!! I'll kill them, no first I will kill that infuriating bastard!!' It was none other than Antinus who was currently inside the body of a human she found a dead monster from nearby before she crossed the river by controlling an ichthyosaur by allowing it to eat the monster and then she entered into the body of another monster after crossing the river, Her goal right now was...
'I need to find the other meteorites before they reach there and release them, I will drive these humans to extinction no matter what!!' Antinus wasn't going to give up on her plans, she wouldn't settle unless she sees the end of Earth.
'A woman? Perfect, I'll take over her,' Antinus thought as she saw a voluptuous woman with black hair wearing an office suit walking towards her with a flat look.
Even then Antinus didn't care, all she wanted to do now was take over this woman's body and move on with her plans.
"It is no wonder I felt something disgusting was crawling around here," But with a calm voice the woman spoke as her red eyes gleamed with some anger.
'W-What?' Antinus suddenly felt cold as the body of the monster froze in place, it shouldn't be possible since she had complete control over it, the only way this should be possible is…
'Am I scared of her? No, I am the queen of Insects! Why would I be scared of this human?!' Antinus questioned looking at the human in front of her. No, the way those eyes gleamed and the way this woman's presence made her feel was like…
'….l-like I am in the presence of a god, How is this possible? She is just a human!!' Antinus shouted in her head but the person in front of her didn't like her existence.
"A vile being like you should be purged," The woman spoke coldly and she was about attack Antinus but….
"What?" The woman jumped back as she suddenly felt mana surge up in the sky and soon a hand constructed of mana swooped down striking the monster.
'It passed through it?' The woman thought as suddenly…
GRRRRRR*
The black wolf rushed towards her immediately because…
'Where did that thing go?' The woman thought as she sent a wind blade towards the wolf but suddenly the wolf vanished as soon as it entered the shadow cast by the building nearby, and the fact that it was night with the moon being the only source of light, there was barely any brightness around here.
So, paired with that and along with the wolf's skill, this was his playground, and using the shadows he arrived behind the woman and just as he was about to slash at her defenseless back with his sharp claws.
"It vanished," The woman said flatly as the wolf was suspended in the air unable to budge even a little, and that was because of the black chains that caught him.
"But the sudden appearance of that hand… It was like…" The woman muttered as she killed the wolf with a wind blade effortlessly without even turning to look at it.
Her eyes were still fixed on the place where the hand passed through.
But even if she wanted to figure out what was going on, the woman couldn't focus on it for long since…
"A message?" She quickly took out her phone as soon as the special notification she had set for someone when off.
Haru – Queresha, We reached Zenobia's base with the meteorite and will cross the bridge tomorrow if everything is ready.
The woman was none other than Queresha and the one who sent her the message was Haru.
Queresha was the type to get so lost in her work that she'd often ignore her phone and only look at it after she was done and that is why she set a special notification sound for Haru, she didn't want to miss anything from him no matter how trivial it was because to her it was something she needed to do before anything else.
-Everything is ready here, Alea will be arriving tomorrow morning so we could start at any time you want.
Haru- I see, then we'll start at 12 in the afternoon, there won't be a lot of ichthyosaurs since it would be midday and Alea would also get her rest.
-I understand.
Queresha smiled slightly looking at the screen that illuminated her face, normally the conversation would've ended here but…
-Haru, come back quickly.
Haru- Hmm, did something happen?
Queresha hesitated for a bit before typing and sending her message.
-It is just that I miss you.
Haru - …
Haru - I am coming over right now.
