Chapter 146: [In a world filled with Chaos!]
[Leena’s POV!]
.
.
“Are you Raven?” I asked as I looked at the girl that Mr. Wesker said that we would find at this time in this place.
“She fits the description.” Anna looked at Raven from top to bottom, while Raven, who was alarmed, looked at us with her guard up.
“Who are you people? And how do you know about me?” She asked, alarmed. She already had her knives in both her hands, ready.
‘Isn’t she a witch? Why carry a melee weapon? And why can’t I sense any mana coming from her?’ I questioned as I looked at her, a bit confused.
But then again, that was not why we were here.
” The entire city is in chaos. We are here to escort you to Rosalyn.” I said what Mr. Wesker had asked us to speak, but that only made her guard up.
” And why should-”
She was about to argue, but something happened. Her eyes widened as she looked behind us, and pure terror took over her face.
A chill ran down my spine, as I turned around immediately but found nobody there.
“What was that?” I questioned as I tried finding something… anything there. Because what I felt… was far scarier than anything I have felt. It seemed as if death itself appeared behind me and then vanished.
“Two people fighting… a dark mage and… a bony monster… that’s what I saw for a brief moment before they vanished,” Raven spoke out, and my heart skipped a beat as I turned to see her fear filled look.
“ARRAY MAGIC: A CALMED SOUL AND THE VIRTUE OF LIFE!”
A voice resounded in the air, calming our nerves, that slowly seemed to succumb to this unknown fear.
Especially Raven, who had actually seen what appeared behind me.
” Mr. Wesker,” Anna said as she looked into the sky. Though she was actually looking out for the direction of the voice where it came from.
“Is that the guy… who just chanted that spell right now?” Raven asked, much calmer than before. And I nodded at her.
“Monsters,” Anna spoke out as she pointed at the black goo all over the streets from where the monsters were coming out.
“Just like he predicted,” I spoke out before turning to Raven and speaking,
“Listen. It’s either you follow us. Or you die. Your choice.”
And then I began focusing on the monsters in front of me.
” [Burn]”
” [Ashes!]”
” [Breathing Flame!]”
” [Discoloured Ruby!]”
And one by one we began chanting as Anna and I moved outside the area we were, towards the town center, where we could have a better opening to fight.
“Rawr!!!”
A monster spawned out of nowhere right beside me.
-BOOOM!!!!!
And it got punched away by Raven before it could even touch me.
“Thanks!” I smiled at her. At least she wasn’t that useless as she seemed.
” Yeah…?” She spoke in a little daze as she looked at her fist, confused at something.
I was getting irritated at her lack of a sense of surroundings, but it was only brief since I saw an illusion made of mana.
An illusion where three monsters had attacked Anna and killed her within a moment.
Scared, I created three flames and shot at the place where they were going to come from.
“[Mana Arrows!]”
-BOOM! X3
And immediately they killed the monster that spawned at the exact spot. Anna, who was dead in the illusion, was now alive, while the monster kept coming at us.
Though this time, I saw another illusion of me killing a bunch of monsters before running in the opposite direction from the center of the town.
“It’s Mr. Wesker. He is doing this,” Anna spoke as her eyes also concentrated in the same direction where I was looking.
“Let’s follow the illusions for now,” Anna added as she began running forward without waiting for me.
I stood there dazed for a moment before I saw Raven grabbing my hand, and taking me towards Anna while there was slight panic in her eyes.
“What-”
And once again, I felt the presence of that being behind me. This time, I turned immediately.
There was a bony figure standing, whose mere gaze was enough to make me hold my breath. And in front of him stood Morpheus, with a rather calm smile on his face.
‘How is he so calm?’ I questioned, while Raven pulled me away from there.
-BOOM!!
And all I could hear were empty noises as I saw the two of them exchanging blows before they disappeared from there.
‘Just what…’ I lacked words to describe my emotions.
” ARE YOU GOING TO RUN OR NOT?!!!” Shouted Raven in frustration, as I turned around to see her tearing, while she kept moving. She was terrified. Scared… it seemed she was losing hope or something.
” I don’t know what you are trying to do or not… but I want to run away from them… Please… run…” she cried as she looked at me, but she didn’t leave my hand.
And that illusion of me running by itself was presented in front of me, showing me that I should run by myself now. It was guiding me.
Perhaps it was within my mind, but I knew it was Mr. Wesker who was responsible for this illusion. And because it was like this… I was going to trust it.
Because… even I want to run away from that bony monster.
And I too began running as fast as I could, reaching behind Anna within a few moments.
” Any idea where we are going?” I asked in between, but none of them answered. We weren’t killing any monsters or anything, but simply running through the slightest of the pathway present in front of us.
‘Just where are we going?’ I questioned this over and over… until the answer came in front of us.
A man in a dark cloak. Someone Anna and I could never forget in our entire life. Someone who we had been searching for ages… he was there in front of us. Fighting against monsters with Master Rosalyn.
Our father… The Crazy Manipulator, Yemir, was standing in front of us.
