Absolute Soul
55. Commemorative

Thanks to a brief fight between Haikal and Heru against the cloaked figure, several local Blazers immediately came considering the number of knives controlled by the cloaked figure was not something that could be seen every day.

The roof of the building that was the scene of the fight also suffered damage that was severe enough that Haikal and Heru were detained by the building owner to be responsible, he said, fortunately Veindal came at the right time and assumed the responsibilities of the two young men.

"I'm sorry, principal, we're overreacting" Haikal said, feeling bad about letting Veindal cover the cost of the building repairs alone. Heru also looked just as guilty despite not saying a word.

Veindal gave a small smile looking at the two, then rubbed Haikal and Heru's heads for a moment before glancing at the cloaked figure who had come to a realization and was being handcuffed by the several Blazers behind, "No need to think, no need to think about it, I should be the one to thank you for taking this guy down."

Veindal then explains that the cloaked figure that Haikal and Heru defeated was one of the Blackout members who managed to infiltrate the city of Adele and may also be one of the attackers of students of Skymaze Academy.

He also said that the cloaked figure would be held in a prison reserved exclusively for Blazers and be interrogated on various matters.

"So, there's nothing for you to worry about." Veindal patted Haikal and Heru's shoulders as he finished his words, making the two look at each other and sigh in relief.

When Haikal and Heru were calmer, the cloaked figure who had been silent and handcuffed suddenly laughed so loudly that it attracted the attention of everyone present at the place, not least Veindal.

"Nothing you need to worry about? Are you sure about what you said, Mr Blazer Cardinal?" The cloaked figure looked at Viendal with a wide, sinister smile.

Veindal's forehead shriveled hard enough to hear the figure's words, "What do you mean?" Without hesitation Veindal exerted a pressure of soul energy strong enough to make all the Blazers there affected, including Haikal and Heru.

Surprisingly although all the Blazers in that place felt the impact of Veindal's soul energy pressure, the cloaked figure seemed to be completely unaffected, instead he laughed. It made Veindal's forehead shrivel deeper.

"Oh, so this is the soul energy pressure belonging to a Cardinal-level Blazer? Perhaps, too," said the cloaked figure giggling unencumbered by the pressure Veindal generated, "Unfortunately Blazers like you can't topple us, Blackout."

Haikal and Heru's expressions changed immediately upon hearing the name 'Blackout', but they already suspected that this cloaked figure was indeed from the forbidden organization so it wasn't too surprising.

The cloaked figure suddenly stopped his laughter and looked at Veindal for a moment, then turned his gaze to Haikal and Heru, "Prepare yourself as best you can so as not to die, damn children."

Veindal was no longer so kind, she immediately came up to the cloaked figure and thrust a crushing blow on her stomach, "No need to remind them they already know what they might face later."

The cloaked figure instantly lost his consciousness after Veindal finished his words, then was transported into the car that was going to Blazer's special prison, while Haikal and Heru looked a little confused.

Veindal sighed at the reaction of the two and then stepped towards a black car waiting with the door open, "You want to see Salvia, right? Then let's just talk about it on the way."

Haikal and Heru looked at each other for a moment then nodded in agreement, but before that Veindal threw a glass bottle containing a certain red liquid that Haikal immediately caught.

Haikal's widened eyes looked at the bottle, "School head, isn't this Red Liquid? Why did you give it to me?"

"You think I don't know the condition of your right arm?" Veindal raised his eyebrows glancing at Haikal's right arm which at first glance looked normal but to Blazer's observations experienced as Veindal, Haikal's right arm looked like it had exploded on a small scale.

It was no surprise considering using the same technique when destroying Edward's Glacial Atlas in the semi-finals then in one strike, Air Smash: Overload.

This technique emphasizes the manipulation of air pressure around the same as ordinary Air Smash, but in the version of Haikal's 'Overload' uses soul energy beyond the limit that his body can accommodate so as to inflict a devastating blow.

In this case some of his arm muscles are broken accompanied by pain that is not small.

Haikal scratched his head while smiling wryly not expecting Veindal to know the state of his arm, he then drank the red liquid Veindal gave him called Red Liquid until it ran out without hesitation.

The injury and pain Haikal suffered in his right arm slowly disappeared, but did not fully heal. The pain of the injury can still be felt but at least much reduced than before.

Haikal looked at his right arm in astonishment, "Heh, so this is what Red Liquid is like. It's amazing."

Heru who only looked at it was astonished to see the efficacy of Red Liquid which was undoubtedly a special healing herb produced using soul energy.

"Well, it's just Low-Red Liquid. You'd better check it out at the hospital later," Veindal said, nodding softly in response to Haikal and Heru's reaction before taking the two into the car intending to go to the hospital.

***

When the car used Veindal, Haikal, and Heru was quite far from the scene, suddenly above the sky appeared a small vortex the size of a plate that slowly enlarged until it reached the size of a simple house door.

The center of the vortex was pitch-black which confirmed as if even light could not penetrate it, but two mysterious figures suddenly burst out from the vortex. Both of them set their feet in the air as if they had an invisible footing on the soles of their feet.

The vortex immediately disappeared when the two figures had fully appeared.

"Oh, I can't believe Shear was really defeated." One of the figures chirped when he saw the cloaked figure defeated by Haikal and Heru sitting unconscious in one of the security forces cars below, "Who beat him?"

"If they don't get their names wrong, it's Heru Hartanto and Haikal Alendra, two first-graders of Skymaze Academy" the other person replied in a heavy voice but sounded disguised as the sound of a machine.

The figure of the questioner raised his eyebrows for a moment looking at the car mount Veindal, Haikal, and Heru who were moving in a direction. A smile expands so wide on her lips that it looks creepy, "Heh, it looks like the surgery will be fun."

The answering figure was quite disturbed by the smile of his colleague until he raised his voice, "Dematora, focus on your work now. You'll be scolded by the chairman later if you fail."

"Oh, right too. I almost forgot." Dematora patted her two hands in front of her chest and remembered what she had to do. He then raised his right arm up to the level of his head and formed a whirlwind that immediately took the form of a two-meter-long javelin, "They were so attractive that I almost forgot my current job."

After saying so, Dematora swung her hand and at once the whirlwind javelin shot rapidly towards the scene and caused a wind*****pick that messed up the surrounding environment in an instant.

The figure other than Dematora sighed at the chaotic scene below, "Are you unable to hold back? Shear could also die from your attack."

"Then save him quickly. That's your job, Nigel," Dematora said casually, not thinking about the fate of Shear who was likely killed thanks to the whirlwind javelin he threw.

Nigel growled in annoyance but could not reply to Dematora's words. In the end Nigel clucked for a moment as a black vortex appeared right before him, then he entered the vortex and disappeared without a trace.

Dematora smiled triumphantly at the fate of both Blazer and the adult victimised by his manager just below him, "Take it easy, the entire population of this city will also catch up with you in a few days."

The news of the criminal Blazer attack in Adele spread so quickly that all corners of Wulodhasia learned that soon there was a certain event that shook the world per-Blazeran in the near future.
