Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 3: The Nomos

In the middle of the wilderness, a young man was seen walking behind a girl. The young man glanced upwards for a moment, but then exhaled a long breath while forcing himself to step up.

“Why is the temperature in this desert so inconsistent?!” lamented the young man. “At night here it is very cold, but once the sun rises, the temperature is hotter than a campfire!”

“Don't complain much, Atlas,” said the girl in front of the young man, kept walking without much talking.

“Ya ..” The young man named Atlas was also forced to agree with the girl's words.

Continuing to walk, Atlas briefly recalled the incident last night, where he was acquainted with this long-haired girl in front of him. The girl's name is Irene Cyne—the girl from the Air Kingdom. In addition, Atlas also remembered that this desert called Thanatos— Desert is still an Air Kingdom region.

From his conversation with Irene, now Atlas understood a little about the state of this world. Thanatos Desert is often a battlefield so that the authority of this region is directly regulated by the central government of the Air Kingdom. In fact, just before the rise of Atlas, the war between the Air Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom had just finished without a winning side. All those who fought in the battle were killed on the battlefield.

“A ..” Atlas tried to say something, but the sentence was stuck in the throat. Finally, he decided to shut his mouth, walking silently behind Irene.

A few moments later, Atlas's breath became shorter as his entire body was soaked in sweat. As she was aware of Atlas' condition, Irene glanced back for a moment, then said, “We will soon arrive at Erato Satir. Hang on.”

“Really?!” Immediately Atlas sped up the footsteps, walking right to Irene's right. He can't wait to get into the residential area.

Irene exhaled a long breath while shaking her head. “You are really weak. Is it true that you are an Air Kingdom Nomos?”

Atlas knew that Nomos was the name for the warrior war in the Air Kingdom, but he paid little heed to Irene's insinuations, but answered curiously, “I myself do not know. It's possible that I'm not an Air Kingdom Nomos!”

“You said that when wearing Air Kingdom Nomos uniform.” Once again Irene glanced at Atlas, then turned her head away immediately. “Are you an amateur spy?”

“AAAAA. THIS DESERT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!” Atlas deliberately shouted in order to shift the subject.

“Do not waste your energy!”

They then walked back without talking about anything. Then, Atlas's hopes were soon reached. He saw a row of houses in front of him, standing on the desert.

“That's what I'm looking for!” Atlas was about to accelerate, but Irene pulled the young man's shirt to make him lose his balance and fall. He glanced at Irene while eye-catching. “What are you doing?”

“Start from here I will help you move.” Irene immediately pulled Atlas who was still unable to stand.

“Hei!” Atlas tried to escape. “Let me go! I can walk on my own.”

“Cannot!”

“Haah ..” After the situation, Atlas finally let Irene pull him into Erato Satir.

Although unlike Atlas's wishes, the two of them ended up getting into Erato Satir. Surely some guards immediately stopped these two right while at the entrance gate. However, Irene looked so calm looking at the three sword-wielding men standing before them.

“Show your identity!” said the sword-clad man standing in the middle, resolute.

Of course, the guards here are strict, because Thanatos Desert is a battle arena, not just an ordinary desert. Atlas wanted to know what his fate would be if he entered Erato Satir without an insider like Irene.

However, not wanting to think too much about anything bad, Atlas shook his head. He watched Irene for a moment.

Irene pulled out a identification board from behind the clothes. “I'm Irene Cyne, a Nomos.” He gave his identification to the man in the middle. “Check.”

“That is your duty Herakles,” replied Irene as she walked into Erato Satir while pulling Atlas.

“Thank you, Miss,” say three guard men called Heracles.

After a while, Atlas and Irene arrived at a crowded street. From here Irene released Atlas right in the middle of the crowd, making them very noticed.

“Hei ...,” says Atlas, turn your face away, “you should choose another place to do this.”

“What's wrong?” Irene raised her next to the eyebrows.

“Haah ..” Slowly Atlas got up while exhaling a long breath. “You don't seem to care much about people's views on you.”

“Not to think about.” Irene walked back, this time redeeming a row of people while pulling Atlas' hand. “I'll take you to Zelos to check your identity!”

“Slight down!”

“Do not complain much!”

After penetrating the solid road, Atlas and Irene arrived in front of a large building with sturdy bricks. Irene then pulled Atlas up the stairs, walking until she arrived at the entrance of the large building. Here they were again stopped by three men with swords.

Before the three men said anything, suddenly a short-haired youth called out to Irene, “Nona Irene!” The young man immediately walked out from inside the building, ignoring the three men in swords. “Thank God you came back safely.”

“Ah, Kaysen,” says Irene on short-haired youth with brown shirt. “I'm back.” This girl smiled thinly.

Meanwhile, Atlas glanced at Irene for a moment, like asking, ‘You know this boy?’

Irene glanced at Atlas for a moment, immediately knowing the contents of the young man's mind. “ She is Kaysen Lex, a talented Nomos.”

This time, the young man named Kaysen glanced at Atlas for a moment, then extended his hand forward. “I Kaysen.” She smiles. “Happy to meet you.”

Atlas received Kaysen's handshake. “I Atlas, nice to meet you too, Kaysen.”

Kaysen removed his handshake, then watched Atlas from head to toe. “It looks like I've seen you somewhere.”

Where would I know? think Atlas, no wonder you know too, right? You're a Nomos! And Atlas Hiromasa is also a Nomos!

“It seems because we are both Nomos,” replied Atlas with a faint smile.

“It ...” One of the three men in the sword interrupted the conversation.

Not yet the man continued his words, Kaysen said, “It's okay. Let me take care of them.”

“Good ...” The man immediately brought the other two men to leave without asking much.

On the other hand, Irene took out a purple-colored mask from behind her clothes. “Kaysen, take him to Zelos.” Irene was wearing a purple mask, the girl instantly turned into two people. “My thoughts will come with you too.”

“Good, Miss Irene!” answer Kaysen.
