Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Penance
" Chicago’s currently a wasteland, thousands of civilian casualties have recorded and our soldiers and marines are victims of the gatebreak, we are yet to confirm the identity of the trespasser "
A calm voice echoed.
Standing before the multiple screens before him, the radiating light coming from the holographic screens floating before him overshadowed the darkness, his eyes were covered with black shades.
Dressed in a jet black suit with a symbol of angel wings imbued on his suit, his attention were focused on the six entities displayed on the screens, each gazes were fixed on his direction.
They’re the directors of the secret society owned by the government.
{E-C-H-O}
Known as the intelligence society which governs the country’s supernatural order, America’s special intelligence agency.
" Special agent Miller, you were granted the necessary access to the regional fields, despite the hundreds of millions given to support your research, no result has been tabled before us, how do you explain this failure? "
The first of the six Directors questioned from the screen.
The agent recognized as special agent Miller let’s out a sigh, tilting his gaze.....he slowly took off his shade, staring directly into the eyes of the directors before him.
" We weren’t able to get the identity of the trespasser but it doesn’t mean our research program was a failure, we have confirmed that there isn’t just a single trespasser but three, lucky for us only one is stronger "
" I don’t know what they are but the other two are quite lesser, but they all possess a unique form of mana, mana radiations which we refer to is X-23 " He explained, he brought out a remote from his pocket.
He clicked a button and an holographic image appeared before them.
Showing them different images he had on display.
" X-23 is a unique form of radiation focused on the mana sensitivity, It moves on a quantum aspect, focusing directly on the negativity, that’s why it’s original color is black, an uncultured power "
" Its origin remains unknown but we are certain it’s from other dimensions, we have used our inter dimensional satellite network in hopes of finding the traces which would lead to their home world "
" And besides we were able to confirm another thing, they are here for someone " Agent Miller explained.
" They’re here for someone? I thought they simply trespassed to destroy and create mayhem, do you have any idea who they might be here for? " The second Director questioned.
" Not yet, Chicago’s currently a war zone but it’s a third rate city so it doesn’t deserve much attention I guess, not complicate enough for E-C-H-O to make a move " Agent Miller answered with a grin.
" But I suspect what they came here for may be within that city "
" That’s why one way or the other, I’ll be getting involved in this incident, the Guardians and the Anzerath agencies are currently on the first tier listed agencies within the government, they have quite the solid unit deployed "
" But I doubt it’s enough to take out this trespassers, if my calculations are correct.....what they came here to hunt is capable of killing them "
Agent Miller explained.
" I see, well that’s pretty much understandable, the command unit of the Chicago incident is under the US Marine Corp isn’t it? what’s the name again? " the voice of the third director was heard.
" The J-T center, I believe that’s their name, that center is currently regulated by a top marine officer, Commander Serjio.....if it’s him, he’s capable of doing anything just to put an end to this incident "
" Including decimating an entire city to purge them out "
------------
[Meanwhile]
The fervent wind blew, with ashes scattered across space itself, fast approaching footsteps drew closer every second, emerging out of the clouded smokes were soldiers of the Anzerath agency.
Their blue colored battle suits gave them out.
Chicago was swallowed by the curtain of darkness, they had to switch to night vision to see properly, Anzerath soldiers were the first to advance forward, they had a scattered formation, speeding out.
Tracking down any nearby heat signal they could find.
Their search came to an abrupt end when they walked into the scene to see a figure sitted before them, sitted on a shattered block with corpses of marines littering the ground, the bloods stained the ground of the city.
The wind blew his curly hair, revealing his crimsoned eyes.
A smirk escaped his lips, all the soldiers present were all ready, with their weapons firmly within their grip, ready to crush everything and everyone within seconds, the air was twisted by the presence of death.
" Identify yourself, who are you? " One of Anzerath soldiers questioned, his voice echoed throughout the scene.
" Identify myself huh? do I really need to do that? why would I need to identify myself to mere livestocks " His red eyed glowed brightly, he shifted his body.....
The soldiers wasted no time, enraged by the monster referring to them as livestocks.
They charged against him, enhancing their weapons with mana, they attacked from all directions but it easily deflected them, evading the consecutive attacks without straining itself.
It appeared right behind them, a giggle escaped it’s lips afterwards.
" Quite interesting, sorry but you pests are weak " It’s voice was heard, stretching it’s right hand forward, dark mana surged into the atmosphere, the ground quaked, the intense noises of screeches erupted.
Zuptures charged down from every direction, attacking the soldiers from every direction, but their reaction speed was on a different level, ripping through the charging Zuptures with ease, only two died.
But in exchange, all the Zuptures were massacred.
Their attention drifted towards the grinning Mogorth, he patiently waited from the sidelines, using the Zuptures to test out their strengths, he took his time checking every one of them out while it went on.
The minute they were done.
Three soldiers were slaughtered within seconds, the red eyed Mogorth took a step forward, generating pressure from it’s existence, creating a blade from its radiations with ease.
The soldiers came charging forward, they ran as far as their legs could carry them, brimming with power to slaughter the Mogorth, but it ended swiftly.....
The Mogorth manifested hundreds of blades out of its radiations, releasing the floating spears against them, corpses fell, limbs were torn apart.....the numbers of Anzerath soldiers were reduced in seconds.
The red eyed Mogorth advanced forward with a grin.
" Humans are strong willed, those whose wills are strong will surely create a path for themselves, to stand above all who opposes them, a strong will to kill that thing which took the one they loved "
" But in the end.....humans will always be humans, a weak little race "
Screams filled the air as more soldiers kept falling, the numbers kept reducing every second, not a single one of them could even get close to the red eyed Mogorth, the difference in power was vast.
The Red eyed Mogorth halted, turning his gaze.
" More are still coming huh? more feasts for me, this will be..."
[Thirty Minutes Earlier]
Riley landed on a rooftop of a building few hundred metres away from the scene, he approached the cliff, he watched the rooftop, staring down....he noticed the presence of curly haired red eyed Mogorth.
" So that’s the thing huh? with just a single glance.....I can tell it’s strong, it needs to be killed " Riley voiced out.
" Yh it surely does but how do you intend to kill it? from this distance? or should I do it again? " Myzel asked.
" Myzel, you have already fought enough.....I asked you to kill that Mogorth because I had to recover, now that I’m fully recovered.....It’s my duty to take this one down myself " Riley stated.
He caused his mana enhanced Rifle to appear on his hand.
He positioned himself from the cliff, pointing the Rifle at the direction of the red eyed Mogorth, he waited, he waited for the perfect time to strike.
[Now]
The red eyed Mogorth scanned the vicinity, it had successfully taken out all the Anzerath soldiers, their corpses were scattered the scene.....it took a step forward when it noticed something.
A rushing power in the air, charging directly against it.
The red eyed Mogorth quickly took a step backward, evading the bullet fired against it, but a second later, another bullet was fired.... hitting him directly on the forehead, the Mogorth staggered back.
Its forehead bled from the mana bullet..
The bullet was enhanced with blood manipulation, causing the head of the Mogorth to swell rapidly, dark veins spread across it’s body....
Seconds later.....the Mogorth’s head exploded.
