In a dark room Raphaella was sitting on the floor looking at a mirror, it seemed to be her room, and all the lights were turned off, except for the candle in her hand, she seemed to be contemplating something, he did not use the mask of his skeleton anymore, but the room was too dark to see his face, the light of the candle in his hand could not reach his face hidden in the black hood.
"...."
Raphaella looks in the mirror thinking is what she did right?, can the murder of Leonus Forde be prevented if he hands her over ?.
Raphaella takes her cell phone and looking at Ezra's phone number, she decides to call him.
not long after that was lifted.
"hey.... Ezra..."
"hm?, what's up Raphaella ?"
"have you heard of the murder of Leonus Forde ?"
"of course the news is where it is"
"say.... Is..... Do you know anything about this murder ?"
"....no..... It also surprised me"
"so yeah.... Hey Ezra you know the authorities are looking for you"
"well I know... They sent the order of holy flame to the middle city to look for me"
"well and they sent a raven guard to the middle city as well"
"that's what I don't know"
"and they also come to me if I know anything about you.... I choose to be quiet"
"the listen has covered me"
"no... It doesn't matter.., hey Ezra said... Who are you ?"
"hm ?"
"you came out of nowhere with incredible magic power and just disappeared,.... How do you shower your presence with magic power like that ?"
".... Excuse me..... L'm.... I can't answer that...."
"why not ?"
"don't get me wrong okay.... I still don't trust you"
"i. I get it.... Doesn't matter...."
"... I have to go okay... It's good to talk to you"
"yes... Good bye bye"
As soon as their conversation was over, Raphaella looked back at the mirror... He knew he liked Ezra, and he did not want Ezra to be the head of this murder if it were true, he would shame his ancestors and his family, and he did not want it.
On the other hand he was still curious as to who Ezra was, how strong he was in the fight, he said, but for now the question cannot be answered and he must be patient and earn Ezra's trust to get that answer.
...****************...
three people in armor and black robes covered them, sitting in a small room.... It seemed to be behind some sort of truck, which was walking, the back of the truck was dark, which shone only the eyes of the three-robed people and the black armor, which was, their eyes glowed red from their black helmets.
"i can't believe we failed to track our target..."
"yeah, this is the worst"
"how can we fail to track down a witch ?"
"yes we are specially trained to fight and search for witches"
"by eda this is embarrassing"
"you both calm down.... What we're looking for is no ordinary witch, she's said to be on top of Raphaella"
"above the Raphaella... Isn't that smothering it easier to track ?!, I mean the magic power is so great, even the surrounding air particles will be affected"
"mmm.... He's right this captain isn't going in"
"i don't know either... But this is our first failure in tracking down a witch"
"it's embarrassing !"
"Lonia calm yourself"
"what do you mean calm me down!, we failed !"
"i know we're failing, but that doesn't mean there won't be a tomorrow"
"Ixtal is right calm down you we may fail but there's still another chance"
"captain, did you hear about the ransom for any information regarding our targets?!, even our superiors lost their trust in us !"
"i know.... I-i know.... And it was indeed our fault in the first place now that the bounty hunters would be looking for the crow"
"Lonia calm down there is no way the bonty hunters will find the crow, we just care less them"
"right... Thatvs right... Huh..huh..."
"when we get back I want all the information about all the witches we've met and do a deep analysis of them"
""good""
...****************...
meanwhile Ezra was in his pocket dimension looking towards the shooting range while holding the m4 in his hand.
He was training his long-range shots, which are 500-600 m, he really struggled because he used an iron shot.
He was exhausted so he decided to come back, and when he went into the house he saw on tv that he was a bounty hunter with a bid of 100 jt aurum.
He looked at the window, and saw many groups of people with makeshift gears, and armed, many of them carrying a kind of blue crystal walking the street trying to find it.
Hehehe they know I'm a real witch right I'm not, I think I'm safe.
...****************...
meanwhile, in the white steel company, the CEO of the Whire steel, saw the photos of Leonus Forde who died yesterday, along with the bullet fragments in the phone.
And he looked at the bullet from the same rifle that the killer used.
It's not wrong that the rifle came from here.... But there is no record that this rifle was bought by anyone... There are only 5 guns like this.... With the killer now there are 6.... but how ?.
His head was really dizzy because of this incident, many parties blamed him for this incident as well, he had to clarify this as quickly as possible.
he then drank the wine on his table little by little, and slowly as if he enjoyed every second of it.
"haaah..... It's really troublesome"
...****************...
"uhuh.... At least Gruevar did his job"
"lady he didn't kill Arcturus Drakon"
"i know but he killed their military leader"
"but..."
"nothing but, he did what was on the contract"
".... Then how is it not so different from the previous one"
"who said ?"
"?.... IS.What do you mean "
"because of the murder of Leonus Forde yesterday many things happened, but the most unique thing that happened was the search for the crow man"
"i still don't understand"
"you see... They sent the order of holy flame, and the raven guard, but none of them managed to catch it or anything, either,....hehehe would be a good thing if we could make it work to us instead ?"
"what would you offer him ?"
"i will offer him salvation from the impending destruction of this hive city, and of course also with his family I am sure he will agree"
"what task will you give him ?"
"i'm going to ask him to destroy the X2-818 so that we can attack faster"
"then what if he refuses ?"
"all right, I'll set up your meeting place, and I'll ask the Gruevar girl to find the crow"
...****************...
to the next day Ezra mendapst nondification that he must do up date, of course Ezra immediately do the update, but up date it is very fast, up date it is called spirit of the past.
After finishing the update he saw that there was a new application called spirit summond, when he pressed it, there are many variations of soldiers that he can call but each individual has something called point control and Ezra only has 40 points control, the stronger the spirit is the more points needed, the more points needed, and also every spirit needs a rental time to eat Aurum from the lake depending on the price of the spirit every day.
Ezra was now in his pocket dimension looking at his spirit and the price.... They are not cheap, some need 1jt Aurum per day, and some need 100 Aurum per day, but of course the quality is in accordance with the price.
but he decided not to rent it at this time because it was not needed at this time, he continued to practice his sword arts.
As he decided to finish and return to the terra, he saw Chichiro with a black hood as if he were looking for Ezra.
Ezra just greeted him.
"hey Chichiro what are you doing here ?"
"ahs.... Ezra sukurlah I found you I think I will not be able to find you"
"what's up ?"
"you need to come with me... And wear your crow's clothes"
"...?"
After a brief explanation of what Chichiro's goal is in front of Ezra, Ezra seems calm, even though he is actually panicking.
"well.... Wait for me in the alley where we used to meet..."
"all right I'll wait for you there"
Ezra came home to bring his crow's clothes when he got near the alley he immediately changed clothes and this time he did not bring a gun, but an m4 rifle, and the new vest ter enchant armor, which he had, and also a one-handed sword on his left waist.
Along with a long black robe covering the sword he was carrying, he also decided to hire a spirit named, the lost knight, it had 30 control points, and had a price of 200jt Aurum, which he had, the spirit is in the form of a small light of light, not too bright, and it is resting under the cloak of Ezra, it can manifest into its original form if needed.
When Ezra reaches Chichiro is certainly surprised, seeing as strong and complete as Ezra is in this encounter, he is even a little worried because if he kills the Ombians then he, sister, is,and his friends won't be able to go to craftworld as promised.
"meng-.why are you so... So armed ?"
"just be on guard if this meeting turns sour"
Chichiro nods, now convinced that Ezra is not on the side of the Ombians, but not on the side of the humans, he is increasingly convinced that Ezra is part of Serpent's, perhaps his superior.
"so... Please lead the way"
"o-oh yeah sorry"
Chichiro also leads the way to a darker alley, the air is fairly cold, the smell of metal and steel is so pronounced, without them knowing the Ombians have been watching them from the right and left, they use spells that make them invisible.
Ezra stopped in the middle of the road, and Chichiro obviously bingunh mengaoa Ezra stopped.
"hm?, what's up ?"
"no... Just come on. Don't be so shy... I know you guys are there no point in hiding"
The Ombians who were hiding straight out, while pointing their magic wand, from their faces, they were clearly panicking and scared at Ezra's appearance, but the voice in their heads said to lower their weapons to Ezra was not a threat.
Chichiro was obviously shocked because he had not sensed the existence of them.
"let's continue"
"i-follow me"
They continue their journey and are also herded by some of the Ombians who are caught while the rest split up.
The reason Ezra knows the presence of Ombians is because he knows all their tactics and abilities, this is one tactic that is often used named stalk, and he knew because he and Chichiro were getting closer to the meeting location.
They finally arrived at the meeting place, where the captain of the 8th division was already sitting in front of him inviting him to sit in front of him, the room was very simple with minimal laxity.
The captain of the 8th division, he had blonde hair, his face was beautiful and looked young, he used a powersuit that had magic energy flowing throughout his body, he was using a power-suit that had magic energy flowing all over him, a spear with a purple crack pattern was leaning against the table by his side, his eyes were purple and he had taper ears as the hallmark of the Ombians.
Ezra sat down, he put his rifle on the table and took off his magazine and emptied the barrel, indicating that he was not there to threaten, seeing this the 8th division captain smiled happily because it seemed that Ezra did not come as a threat, and the discussion began with Chichiro and the 8th division captain's bodyguard on the side of the table.
"so sir... Um"
"Ezra, call me Ezra."
"ahs... Mr. Ezra... That's a good name"
"thank you"
"alright so... I'll give you a good offer, if you follow all my orders I'll make sure you and your family are safe.... You see our Ombians, will do-"
"big attack next month?, well I already know that"
The face of the 8th division captain was instantly moody how could Ezra know that information?, was there a traitor?, where was this information leaked ?.
"how you-"
"it doesn't matter that obviously I'm not interested in... Strategy or scenario you have prepared"
"do you really think you can turn down this offer ?"
"certain"
"all right let's see..."
What is ?!.
the captain of the 8th division used true sighs to Ezra... It was empty, there was nothing as if he was not a magician, the captain of the 8th Division began to break out in cold sweat.
"hey.... What is kaptern 8th division... Or should I call Annie ?"
annie's eyes immediately opened wide and she was clearly shocked.
"how are you !"
"that's not important.... Let's finish this meeting as soon as possible I don't have much time"
Annie had no idea what she should do, Chichiro only looked at the tip with confusion as to what was happening, while the bodyguard from Annie held tightly to her sword which was at her waist.
how the.... This man... is he even a human being?, his consciousness is not connected to the Cereblar conflux.
"listen if you just waste my time I'll go"
Annie's bodyguard who saw her parents cornered decided to take the action, namely by drawing her sword and trying to attack Ezra, in a spiky movement of the spirit hiding in her cloak Ezra came out and invested briefly, the sound of two steel clashing and the sword of Annie's bodyguard was broken and broken, he fell backwards leaning against the wall.
When he looked up he saw a knight with armor already torn apart, the bones of his left leg exposed, it pointed a rusty sword and also broke it towards his neck, his eyes were hidden behind a helmet that had many dents, his eyes were bright red.
"backward"
The knight's figure instantly turned into a small red light, yet everyone in the room did not see it as it quickly hid back, instead, Ezra then took his rifle and stood by the exit.
"listen to me all of you... If you want to play with fire, then don't be afraid to burn... Chichiro are you going to stay here ?"
Chichiro looked towards Annie whose sweat was so much, and Annie simply nodded.
"t-no a-ayo... Let's go"
"oh yeah... One more thing I don't care about your plans to do whatever you want to do to humanity I don't care, just don't bother me"
Chichiro and Ezra left the room, as they closed the door Annie breathed a sigh of relief...
"for the sake of his ancestors he was not human... Hey Eidolon are you okay ?"
Eidolon stood up and took out his broken sword.
"i'm fine, madam... What's... What was that"
"that's... It was a spirit and not a good one, in view of his wijud it was a tormented spirit"
"sorry I can't beat him"
"it is impossible for you to defeat him, his power is beneath me,.... Well I can beat him but if it's helped by Ezra I'll obviously lose"
"that man.... How strong do you think it is"
"i don't know... Her... Her... I'm not even sure that he's human"
"do we have to get rid of it ?"
"don't leave him alone, don't make any contact with him, and don't be hostile to him, we still don't know who or what he is"
"good mistress"
