Chapter 56 - special events

*Start Special Chapter*

In the town square of Darion, Erika was bowing her head contemplating something in front of the four heroes of the 16 heroes summoned by this Othl kingdom.

Erika's complicated expression made the four heroes feel awkward with the disappearance of the black masked child earlier.

Asren who did not understand what was going on with Erika, and what it had to do with Zyden's sudden disappearance.

But, he did not think too much of her then started talking. "Erika, are you okay?" He spoke with curiosity and anxiety.

Erika was silent not answering which made Asren even more anxious. However, before long a gray-haired girl approached the two of them and pushed Asren aside.

"What are you saying, grass brain! That's not what you're saying." The girl's name was Eciela. "Hey Erika, what just happened? Where did the masked man go?" He asked Erika.

There was still no answer from Erika, she still lowered her head and was swept away in her daydream.

Eciela who could not bear to see Erika was silent, she tried to resuscitate Erika by shaking her body. "Erika's? Erika's? Wake up, hey hey, get up!" Eciela.

"..., Eh? Yeah, what's up?" Erika gasped in silence.

"What's wrong? That shouldn't be your answer. What happened to the masked man, where did he disappear to?" Excited Eciela asked with great curiosity.

Erika did not answer him immediately, she thought for a moment and gave a sad expression. "He's... Go." His murmur was soft but could be heard by the people around him.

"He didn't leave, but he disappeared! Do you know what just happened? And how could he just disappear!" Eciela. "Hey, answer me!" Continue with a high tone.

"Relax, Ecil. You're putting Erika under pressure." The voice of the blue-haired and bespectacled man calmed Eciela down, she was Lester.

"Yes! Relax, we haven't even heard Erika's explanation yet." Asren's calling him.

"How can I calm down." Eciela said fretfully. "Someone just disappeared right in front of my eyes. I can't even feel where she disappeared to?"

"And worse, I don't know how he disappeared? Then.., you want me to calm down. That's so!" He continued to lift up his last words.

"Yes, I need you to calm down. And listen to what Erika will say." Lester replied while looking at Erika.

The four of them simultaneously saw Erika. They asked for an explanation about the disappearance of the masked man who was thought to be the fiancee of the purple-haired girl.

"He's... She went. I don't know where he went, but for sure he went." Erika said in a low tone that sounded rather sad.

"Zyden is a special ability user. Likely as well, he used his special ability to disappear away from here." Erika explains what she knows about Zyden.

Erika was only told about the past, the mission and something that Zyden was in. Erika was not informed of the existence of the SKILL possessed by Zyden.

Instead, the god Asteria simply tells that Zyden is a special ability user, just as the god Cyan himself requested.

"Special abilities? What'sthat?" Ask Asren curiously.

"Special ability is a magic possessed by a person without using a spell." Lester replied. "A magic that can be used as much as possible by the user without any constraints unless it runs out of mana." Further.

"Magic without spells? Does it really exist in this world?" Stupid Asren.

"Haah, I told you. Read all the books I've recommended to you before!" Lester Exclamation. "This is what if you've never held a single book in your life." Mocking next.

"You know I'm not good at reading." Sahut Asren who made his three friends upset.

"Then Erika? Do you know what ability he has?" Eciela.

"I don't know! To be honest, I don't know anything about him." Erika replied with a heavy and sad tone.

"Whatchu mean? Isn't he your fiancee?" Ask Lester who made Asren twitch.

"I, I don't know anything about her." Erika exclaimed with a heavy tone. "If I knew what she'd been through, even though I knew what she was feeling."

The four heroes who saw that were very astonished by what Erika said. They were astonished by what had happened to Erika and Zyden.

Seeing the crying Erika, Eciela hugged Erika to calm her down. While the other three people just kept quiet and thought about the relationship of Erika and the masked child.

Meanwhile in the middle of the wilderness.

"Bombs!"

The sound of explosions rang out very loudly, leaving all the animals and monsters strewn everywhere. The cause of the explosion was a man who looked all black.

From black hair, black robes, black shoes, black masks, and even black irises visible behind the mask. He was Zyden, he teleported from the town square into the wilderness.

"Hah hah. THAT JA-LANG!" A stern voice sounded like he was holding back the anger from behind his mask.

"Damn!" Zyden took off the mask and threw it in front. "How could I be stuck with him, he's just an add-on. Fuck up!" he continued to bring out his anger.

"Huhoo... Calm down, calm down." His words held back emotions. "Tlck." But once again, Zyden recalled Erika's actions that ignited his anger.

A black fog crept out onto all parts of Zyden's body, a bright red spot lit right in the middle of his iris.

After holding back his enormous anger, Zyden was no longer strong and released it by hitting his side.

'Aaaa.... Boom..!'s...!'

The blow released by Zyden gave rise to a huge wind that resulted in the trees he passed through falling apart.

The birds flew, the monsters cried out in fear, the forest became very noisy. Not because of the explosion earlier, but because of the aura of the black-looking child.

The black fog continued to grow bigger covering all parts of Zyden's body.

It was an extremely frightening appearance, more precisely a terrifying monster.

And that was the thought of some demons who saw Zyden not far from there. The demonic devil heard an explosion and tried to investigate.

After arriving at the blast site, they surveyed the area and found a boy throwing a mask.

They watched the boy carefully before they killed him. But, when a fog appeared and began to envelop the child's entire body.

The demons who had already noticed the child instantly widened their eyes and shivered in fear. They saw something they had never seen before.

"Tu... The master! A. a. what is it? A... What is a human child?" One of the demons asked with a stutter and sweat splashing down his face.

"Well... Huh... Huh.., Ak, I don't know what it is. Better, we should report this to everyone." Said the demon who was asked with a heavy voice of fear. "Ki... We're leaving now!" Continue to give orders.

That demonic devil instantly twisted their bodies intending to leave that place. But just as they were about to leave, they felt a killing intent that made their bodies heavy and unable to move.

Some demons fell because they were not strong with the pressure they were under. The demon called master had also felt it, he tried to look back at the boy.

But when he saw her, the boy was no longer where he was standing. There were only a few black flashes as well as a few cracks on the ground that the boy was treading on. And suddenly...

'Kuhk.'

The demon was suffocated by the hand of a child filled with black fog all over its body. The boy choked her very tightly and lifted her up.

"I guess what, it turns out that only a lowly mouse has no wings." Exclaimed Zyden tightened his grip.
