Gabriel had thought that the world didn't know magic. However, that's where he made a mistake. Even though rare, this world also had something called the Wizards. However, the wizards were something that were considered taboo.
The government had banned all magic, and all the wizards who were discovered, were to be shot down, along with their allies.
Most people didn't even know about the wizards in this world since they were so rare, and the government kept their existence a secret from most ordinary people, killing one whenever one was discovered.
In fact, most of the time, only a small accusation was enough and people were killed without any investigation. That's how scared people were of Wizards, especially the government.
According to them, it was better to kill a thousand innocent humans than to let a Wizard escape!
The only reason the guards didn't shoot Ezekiel yet was because they wanted the information about the whereabouts of the so-called Wizard.
As soon as they got the information, the Cops didn't hesitate in taking out the person who was simply standing there, eating the fruit he received from Gabriel.
Bang~
Five continued shooting sounds were heard, followed by another five which came from inside the jewelry shop.
The cops shot Ezekiel. However, to their surprise, the bullets didn't harm Ezekiel in the least. The bullets hit him, and passed through his body. However, the wounds closed on their own, leaving no traces! Even the clothes of Ezekiel healed itself.
Unfortunately for them, Ezekiel didn't take this attack and the murderous intent of these people kindly. It was especially so since their bullet destroyed the last fruit that he had received, before he could even eat.
The illusion around him disappeared. His ordinary eyes returned to their pitch black color. His horns slowly became visible.
As soon as the cops watched how Ezekiel looked in reality, they were monetarily frozen. The man before him... He wasn't a Wizard! He was something that they hadn't seen before.
In fear, they started shooting recklessly at Ezekiel. However, this time, their bullets didn't even reach the man.
The playfulness in Ezekiel's eyes had disappeared, returning to the coldness that he possessed when he was in the Abyss.
He raised his right hand, giving birth to the abyssal energy around him. However, this time, he didn't hold back his strength.
The cops felt true fear, feeling as if they couldn't breathe at all! It was as if the air itself had turned into poison! The Abyssal Energy kept destroying their body from inside, and outside.
They held their throats, struggling for a single gasp of oxygen. However, they weren't the only ones who were suffering from this.
It was the same for the entire city.
In the meanwhile, some bullets were also fired at Gabriel, who was just collecting silver coins. In fact, the cops didn't even call him out, before they shot him from behind.
However, unlike Ezekiel, Gabriel wasn't hit. His black robe, made from his element, acted like a barrier, which made it impossible for the bullets to pass through.
However, as Gabriel turned around, he noticed the Vendor, who was hiding behind the cops now.
"S-see?! I told you he does evil magic!" He exclaimed, telling the cops to keep shooting until they killed this evil man.
However, to his surprise, Gabriel's figure disappeared the next moment. He appeared right behind the vendor, grabbing him by his throat.
The next moment, he disappeared again. He appeared high in the sky, as if he had simply teleported. However, he was still holding onto the middle aged vendor.
"I told you, don't test your luck!" Gabriel told the man. "However, since you're so interested, let me test your luck as well. Let's see if you can survive the fall, my dear friend..."
"N-no!" The Vendor struggled, almost begging. However, right before his eyes, Gabriel released his grasp. He had given this man so many chances, but he still didn't let them have a peaceful time!
As Gabriel released his grip, the man's heavy body fell down the ground. His screams echoed loud.
Gabriel appeared back inside the shop. However, to his surprise, all the people inside the shop were dead by now. He should also feel the Abyssal Energy everywhere, which was poisonous to the humans.
Frowning, he rushed out the ship. Just as he expected, there were more dead cops outside, and in the middle stood Ezekiel, simply looking in the distance at all the destruction he caused.
"Are you alright?" Gabriel asked, stepping closer to Ezekiel.
"It was my fault for trying to know these insects... They can never change..." Ezekiel coldly stated. His curiosity for the unknown new world, his happiness for freedom, and the endless entrapment, all of that had made him forget a lot of things related to the past.
However, slowly, he was remembering a lot...
"I've wasted enough time!" He spoke, raising his right hand. "It's time I give the Gods a visit!"
Following the movement of his hand, the entire space before him was cracked open. The man calmly stepped inside the portal.
Gabriel took a glance at all the destruction around him, before he also stepped inside the portal
After the two entered the spatial crack, the portal closed on its own. The surroundings returned to normal, but an entire city has become barren for years to come.
For the next few years, the government tried to find out just what had happened, yet they couldn't find anything. They could only blame the unknown into the wizards, increasing their forces that were made to hunt the wizards. The information about the Wizards was also made public.
A new war was on the horizon for the humans and the Wizards, that had the potential to change the entire landscape of this World, yet no one actually knew just what happened in the city that started it...
And the man who started it, had already left on his own journey, to get revenge for everything he was forced to go through!
