Chapter 96: The Duke & Realms return. (1/2)
”Are you sure we really killed two of them? Two nobles?!” The corps executive asked.
”Is this information true?” The president added.
The one who stood ahead of them, was a man who worked in the management and communication department. He had come in alongside the secretary.
”That is correct. 'She' not only aided in rescuing the refugees but also took out a noble. His rank in the hierarchy hasn't been confirmed by her yet.”
”So for all he know it could have been the lowest.” Said the president.
”I'd rather not think of that as she's arguably the strongest member we have right now.”
”You said two, who killed the other?” The corps executive added.
”A new recruit known as Realm. His sister and mother are currently residing with us.”
”Realm?” They simultaneously repeated.
”Yes, that is correct. We suspect that Delta was heavily injured during her fight so we've currently sent him towards her. Although he's just joined, he's extremely gifted and used to work for the government.”

”Who are you?” Delta asked, as she heard a set of footsteps approach.
”Someone who was sent here to back you up. But… Unlike what the report said, you don't look injured at all.” Said the voice.
Delta hastily tried to stand up, but her body just wouldn't respond. Not only did she overexert herself but she also risked losing herself to the flames.
Fortunately, she was able to keep it under control, but if this person was an enemy, she doesn't know what could happen.
”Stay back… Tell me who you are!” She demanded as she sent him a glare.
Or at least tried. It failed as she could only see his feet.
”Rookie Fallen Angel Opposition Corps member ranked 5th, the lowest of the low. Realm reporting for duty. The code is FAOCP” He declared as he saluted.
Her eyes widened.
'They sent a rookie to come help me…? How we've fallen…' She thought to herself before chuckling.
”Help me up, recruit. We've got to get out of here.” She said as the groans resounded throughout the field.
Realm crouched down, wrapped her arm around his shoulder before lifting her up.
”Understood.” He said with a bright smile.

Inside one of the refugees inside of the city which had successfully been taken over. A handsome man could be seen sat on top of a mountain of corpses.
Short slick black hair, and deep black eyes with a shredded figure, highlighted from beneath his armour.
The bizarre thing about the corpses were that they were all missing their heads.
His expression remained still and unamused.
”So that guy's gone and bit the dust, huh… To think his explosions failed to do one simple task and as for the other noble who died... It's understandable for the commoners to die but to think they've taken two of ours...” He muttered.
After saying so, his eyes landed upon the people ahead of him.
He placed his palm on his face and sighed.
”What are you still doing here? I've spared you did I not?” He asked.
