Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 45: 28 days before NGB

At 03:15 in the morning.

DUAARR...!!!

The sound of explosions echoed throughout the city, a bright red light near the mountain a few kilometers from the city of Tideo. The red light can be seen from a high place.

Commander Grafalt, who lived near the mountain, awoke to his surprise by the unexpected explosion. He immediately put on his battle uniform and checked what was happening.

With an ability that could make his body float, he flew up and checked the origin of the explosion sound.

"What is that red light?"

Commander Grafalt approached the red light, apparently the light came from the red of the flame. The area near the mountain was burning violently even some of the area was already a lava pool.

"Is this a monster attack?" his inner.

The fire raged in the area near the foot of the mountain, lucky that the area did not have dense trees so that the flame did not get bigger.

Commander Grafalt tried to inspect the area.

He found someone who was there, fire blazing in both hands of the figure he met. He flew closer towards the mysterious figure.

"Who is that guy? what's he doing here?" ask her in your heart.

The figure was becoming clearer and his face was beginning to be seen.

It was unexpected, that figure was Darius who was training his strength. Realizing the presence of another figure, Darius looked towards Commander Grafalt.

"Oh..., first commander, good morning. What are you doing here?" ask Darius, plain.

"I'm the one who should be asking" responded Commander Grafalt.

"I'm training for the competition at the beginning of next month, now I'm trying to manage my attack power expenditure" Darius said.

"That's not the case, look around you! everything is burning because of your actions" said Commander Grafalt.

Darius looked around while scratching his non-itchy head.

"Ehehe...., sorry, I honestly expected the impact would be like this," said Darius embarrassed at his carelessness.

"Why are you practicing here? didn't you live with the Director? is there no place to practice?" ask the length of Commander Grafalt.

"I think training there is a bad idea, I haven't fully mastered this power, so I don't dare to practice in a populated environment" Darius replied.

Seeing the impact of the Darius exercises so bad, the commander of Grafalt agreed with Darius' words.

Commander Grafalt activated his fire mastery power, he gathered all the flames that devoured the area into his right hand and eliminated it with a single flick.

The first commander of the Magic Division managed to steal the attention of Darius, Commander Grafalt's ability to manipulate fire is very unusual.

There is its own uniqueness in the ability of his fire manipulation, not just forming and throwing a fire.

"He's great, if it's not wrong Drake used to have this kind of magic" Darius said.

"I can only put out the fire, now we wait for the K.A.O side to come here to overcome the lava pool that you made," said the Commander, pointing to the overflowing lava pool.

Shortly after the Commander finished saying, Darius immediately approached the lava pool, he put his hand into the pool.

Commander Grafalt now knew why Darius was able to pass the beginning level test so quickly after witnessing this, he was chin-backed even though in his heart he was quite surprised.

"I think I've met someone who has this ability before" Commander Grafalt said.

Darius finished cleaning the lava pool, and then he approached Commander Grafalt, apologizing for his destructive actions. The commander also had a lot of questions to ask him.

At the beginning of the conversation, the commander immediately asked where and from Darius learned the power of absorption, this is where Darius was confused to answer.

"To be honest I myself question that as well, I don't know where this power comes from" Darius replied.

"What?" ask Commander.

"This power appeared unexpectedly, I don't know where it came from" Darius replied.

An unexpected answer, a little suspicion of Darius. It is surprising that the power user does not know the origin of his own power.

Commander Grafalt was less confident in the answer he got, but he thought long after seeing Darius's earnest expression say that.

"Any, but, yeah, look for another training ground. You'll bother me if you train here" Commander Grafalt said.

Darius nodded and was about to walk away, but......

From a distance, there are many vehicles coming towards him, ranging from motorcycles, cars to helicopters. Each of the vehicles has a different logo news studio, they flocked to the place that became the source of the explosion sound a few tens of minutes ago.

"Why are journalists here?"

Commander Grafalt patted the forehead.

While Darius was indifferent to the strange vehicles (according to him) coming towards him, he walked leisurely leaving his training area while waving it at Commander Grafalt.

"See you on the day of training, commander," said Darius as he walked away.

Within minutes, Darius disappeared from the sight of Commander Grafalt and now he has to take care of the news-hungry reporters who came so that they do not carelessly cover the news in the area where he lives.

"Oh, basic," lamented Commander Grafalt.

Unknowingly, from behind the tree that was about 200 meters away from him, the figure of a woman in black clothes seemed to be spying. She was there before Commander Grafalt approached Darius, smiling with red eyes.

"Did you see that horned man with the sword? his strength is incredible" said the woman, speaking to the creature inside her.

"Yes, the aura feels familiar, is it possible that this is just my feeling?"

"Your feeling is not wrong, this is indeed his aura. Finally we find it" said the woman, responding to the black aura that appeared on Darius during the exercise.

"To be honest I'm not completely sure if that man we've been looking for all this time, but we should keep reporting this, after that we investigate more about the man."

"Alright, let's report this," said the woman.

He too scrambled from his reconnaissance place and went somewhere, although only briefly their presence was felt by Commander Grafalt.

The commander immediately stared intently at the spot where the woman was lurking, so focused that his eyebrows met.

Increasingly, the presence of an unknown figure felt by Commander Grafalt increasingly disappeared, indicating that the lurking person had already stepped away from him.

Seriate.....
