Chapter 140 - The Sorcerer (1/2)
Hao Xuan stood before the gate waiting for the owner of the voice to arrive.
A few minutes passed and the sound of the metal clicking came from the other side before the gate opened on its own.
On the other side stood tall man with a pale complexion. He had burn marks all over his face and looked like he had just come out a fight.
”Who are you? What do you want? Why are you creating trouble here?” he fired one questions after another while carefully analyzing Hao Xuan himself.
Hao Xuan didn't answer straight away and looked at the city behind him. Galena was a city of two Million people on its own and with the evacuation order, there must have been panic among the populace, yet right now the city looked like a ghost a town. There was not a single soul other than the tall man anywhere in sight.
The black haze that was surrounding the Castle was so dense just on the other side of the gate that it seemed like a different world.
”Are you the City Lord?” he asked coldly while tightening the grip on the glaive.
”I am Fel, the city lord is my foster father. Who are you to inquire about him?” the man answered with an annoyed expression.
The Guards were still standing on the sidelines with shaking legs and the commotion was big enough to attract the attention of every civilian outside the gate as well. They stood a few dozen meters behind Hao Xuan and looked at Fel aggressively. Some of the children were even making funny faces at him while one tried to throw rocks but his father stopped him.
Hao Xuan was starting to get a really bad feeling about this place. The Galena of right now reminded him of the mining village, minus the dark energy. And thinking about the village reminded him of the creatures and then Kanna, which only made him angrier and sadder.
”Where are the civilians? Where is everyone?” he asked lightly.
Fel furrowed his brow and backed up a few steps. The dark energy twisted and turned and coiled around him protectively.
”They are....not here anymore. Who are you?” he asked with a smirk.
Hao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. ”I knew it,” he thought inwardly and shook his head.
”Last time you people escaped, this time I won't allow it,” he mumbled. Fel looked at him confusedly, not knowing what he was mumbling about.
Instead of answering and explaining everything to him one by one, he simply took out his ID badge and inserted some Qi into it.
It flew up from his hand and floated above him. He looked at Fel and spoke solemnly.
”I am Deimos.”
*Bzzzt*
The space ripped open in the shape of an eye, a red eye.
”The Ninth head of the Red Legion.”
*Bzzzt*
The second eye opened.
”I am the Mad Saint.”
*Bzzzt*
The third eye appeared.
”I am the Mad Demon!”
