Chapter 144 - A Fight In The Air (1/2)

(Tom's PoV)

I was stunned as I heard it shouted. He? Who was 'he'? Twenty souls? Did they plan to kill us?

To extract twenty souls was not a trivial matter. My mind couldn't help but think that they might do something to this plane.

F*ck, I've just awaken from comma now they want me to go through that incident again? Hell no!

I suppressed my rage as I closed my eyes and tried to apply what I had learned these couple of days. After the incident in the Death Volcano, I realized that I could come out from my body anywhere and anytime I wanted. My soul remained inside of my body, protecting my body with the shield I managed to create after the Soul Endurance test, while my spirit came out and fought. After several times of practicing before I headed back to Indonesia, I could feel myself improved by leaps and bounds.

Those ghosts from the hospital that day said that it was because I had a special type of soul and body, as well as my bond with the Death Volcano, that I managed to master the technique in no time.

Clutching the chain in my hands, I stood up and headed towards the c.o.c.kpit. I looked back at my body and smiled in satisfaction as no shadows could get near me with my shield on. I also expanded my shield so it covered Uncle Ben inside. Seeing that they could not get near my body, they growled as they pounced on me. I could see the one who talked to me just now were looking at me in surprise. It might not think that I could come out from my body like that.

”Don't let him go into the c.o.c.kpit!” It shouted loudly and at the same time the plane shook.

I took a peek at the situation outside. There were countless of them outside, creating a light turbulence to the plane. Thankfully it only shook a bit, so many of passengers didn't take it too serious and there was only an apologize announcement for the slight disturbance and to assure the people that everything was going to be okay.

In a minute, it won't be okay anymore, I thought.

The chains in my hands glowed slightly as I smashed the nearest shadow to me with the chain. Howl of pain filled the entire cabin but somehow I was the only one who could hear it. The howling didn't stop as my hands kept punching those shadows that were trying to block my way into the c.o.c.kpit. I practically punched my way through it.

As I reached the door to the c.o.c.kpit, I was startled when I heard a shout from my back. Turning back, I saw the one from before charged towards me in a flash. Its eyes showed its rage and its claw was extended towards me.

Fortunately, I managed to dodge it, but I failed to notice its other hand moved fast and hit me in my right shoulder.

I gasped as I could feel the pain from my right shoulder. I was thrown back several steps before I managed to balance my own self. While holding onto my right shoulder, I looked up and my gaze met with the shadow's creepy eyes. It was still in a full-alert stance, ready to pounce at me anytime.

But, I straightened my back, showing to it that its punch didn't affect me. Sure, I was caught off guard, but compared with how I was tortured with those knives in variant sizes and shapes during the test, this was nothing.

With that horrible experience as a comparison, I felt better.

”Human, don't push your luck.” It growled.

I arched my eyebrow at it, but didn't say anything. Turning around, I found out that I was actually in the c.o.c.kpit already. Heh, it must be a very stupid shadow. How could it hit me right into the place I wanted to visit?

But, what was that? I squinted my eyes to properly the thing in front of the plane. Things, actually, since there were more than one.

The biggest one was standing -floating, I mean -in front of the plane, creating a very dark cloud in front of them. If I didn't have this ability, I was sure I would think that we had entered a very dark place in the sky. Even the darkest cloud before heavy rain was not as dark as this one.

Then, there were two mischievous creatures standing in the side, blowing towards the pilot and co-pilot's eyes. I was sure they were not shadows, but what creature they were, I had no idea.

The pilot and co-pilot looked drowsy. No matter how people saw it, the fact that both of them got super drowsy at the same time was not a usual matter. I bet all of the accidents where the drivers or pilots were suddenly feeling drowsy had something to do with these two creatures.
