Chapter 271- The Fate Sure Likes To Lick The Protagonist's Ass (Part 1)
Acht approached the building before flying inside one of the windows, he made sure no one saw him when he did that. It wasn't hard to do considering the fact that the place was empty of people and even the people that were close by didn't look by for fear of dying and kept running as fast as they could.
Inside, the place looked like a massive office of a company with many tables and chairs along with a shit ton of papers thrown everywhere.
"Help!!! Please, help!!"
Acht could already hear the screams and the desperate cries of the people stuck inside.
*Sway* *Bam*
The ceiling started to fall off as the building started swaying left and right again, the windows broke the tables and chairs started falling down.
'Even if I stop the building from falling, most of them will still be harmed. I have to get everyone out before doing anything.' He thought to himself as he went into action instantly.
Using his gravity manipulation, he navigated his way through the areas of the building quickly. Finally, he reached the first victim.
It was a middle-aged man stuck under a huge rock, his ankle was probably gone from the hit but he was still alive from his breathing. Acht lifted the rock and pulled him out.
After that, he delivered the man to the entrance of the building where many cops were standing and trying to infiltrate the place.
Acht then went back inside and continued getting the people to evacuate. A few minutes passed and the building now was basically a tick away from becoming rubble and falling down.
Unfortunately, Acht could still feel one presence inside the building and that person's place wasn't the best at all. In fact, if Acht doesn't reach them in the next 3 seconds, they are basically dead.
'I have to hurry, come on, faster.'
*Bang* *BOOOOOOMMM*
The building continued to crumble on Acht and he kept flying and dodging at an enormous speed. His eyes scanned the area and tried to locate the person.
Finally, he found them, hanging on the edge of the last floor with their fingers barely holding their weight. The problem with the situation was that there was a huge amount of rubble between them and he will take at least 4 seconds to take it all away and create a way for him to reach her.
"I'm here, just a moment."
'There is no other choice. Hopefully, this won't make the building totally crumble.' He prayed for the best and started working.
Acht reassured the woman as he pulled out ooze quickly and started making it push the rubble to the side. Then…
'Hah!" He punched a hole into the wall, throwing most of it into the air. When the huge rocks were close to the ground, he quickly used his powers and disintegrated the rocks, creating enough space for him to reach the woman.
"I'm… falling." The woman begged with tears in her eyes as she readied herself for imminent death.
*Swish*
Her fingers finally left the edge and she started free-falling to the ground with a loud scream. But, when she was mid-air, her falling suddenly stopped and she started floating in the air. She kept her eyes closed for a few moments thinking it was an illusion before finally opening them to see what happened.
"Are you ok?" He asked her.
"Y-Yes…" Her mind was still in a daze as she looked at the handsome man that saved her.
She genuinely thought this was a dream or something like that as she rubbed her eyes to make sure it was not.
When they finally landed, he put her down and asked again.
"Can you walk?"
"Yes… Mm, then-"
"Don't tell anyone about this ok? I will appreciate it if you kept it a secret." He winked at her with a smile as he put his indeed finger on her mouth.
Her face blushed furiously as she nodded continuously.
"Good girl."
Then, Acht flew back inside the building and stood in the middle of the building.
"Ok, the last time I lifted a heavy thing was years ago. Hopefully, I didn't go rusty because of that." He muttered and started spreading his soul force across the whole place.
He didn't find any difficulty doing so but the next part was the hard one.
He used gravity manipulation and started lifting the building, the weight of tons and tons of rocks fell on his body and made him frown slightly but nothing major happened to him.
Outside, however, the matter was very different. People from afar could see the building, which was barely a moment, away from falling starting to get fixed again as if it was getting pushed back into position.
"Ooze, ugh… You know what to do." He muttered with some difficulty as he kept the building motionless with his hands extended.
Ooze as if it understood its master's words moved at a quick speed to the basement of the building where the pillars that held the building should be. Then, it collected the remains of the pillars and fixed them back, and stuck them together with some of its liquid. Ooze was quite sticky and was strong enough to hold a building together.
Finally, the weight on Acht's body lessened considerably and he understood that the building was now way safer than before.
Sighing, he dusted off the dirt from his clothes and started leaving the building.
'These were my favorite clothes.' He thought to himself.
After leaving, he searched for Tania's location and he found her quickly. But, his face frowned as he sensed another presence near her.
So, with that in mind, he flew towards her at his fastest speed
'Whenever that bastard is close by, means trouble is around the fucking corner.'
It was something Acht was quite aware of, now that he recalled things from the past. This building explosion was not a coincidence but an actual scenario that led to Tania getting closer to him.
Acht for some reason didn't like the idea of leaving those two alone so he accelerated even further, crossing half of the city in mere seconds.
He never really used his full flying speed before but this was not a matter where he could act carelessly.
When he reached the place where they should be, he saw it, a sight that made him freeze for a moment.
The protagonist was pinning Tania to the ground, his hand didn't seem to be touching her nor was his body touching hers but he was still on top of her and that was more than enough to make something inside Acht switch.
He landed near them…
He then approached the protagonist and kicked him with his leg using a good chunk of his strength, sending him tumbling to the wall on the other side.
"AGGGH!!" The protagonist groaned loudly from the hit as he spat saliva out along with drops of blood.
"What were you doing?" He asked in his coldest and harshest tone. He looked calm on the outside but only he knew what was going on inside of him.
Acht was outraged.
