Chapter 321 - The Wrath Of The Heavens (1/2)
”The promise, huh… So he hasn't forgot… A strange one he is…” She muttered to herself, still smiling. However, the smile disappeared from her face as she remembered how truly grave his situation was.
”I'm sure he'll be able to survive the retribution, but… There are angels and even gods who absolutely mustn't find out about his existence. I doubt that at this stage he'd be able to even put up a fight…” She muttered
But at the same time, she wasn't sure. John was getting stronger at an incredibly fast rate. Even his new form was something not to be reckoned with.
”*Sigh* He's always giving me so much work.” She complained
——————————————
”H-Hey!? What happened to him?!”
”I-I cushioned his fall using wind magic and a water pool but… He hasn't woken up.”
”Did he drown?!”
”No, the moment he landed I got him out of there with a water bubble.”
”So then why isn't he waking up?!”
”Calm down, Hexo. We don't know.”
As the young man stood silently in complete darkness. He found himself paralyzed, being unable to move and only hear the muffled voices of his comrades.
'Wake up…' John thought to himself
However, he still couldn't move. He could feel the darkness within him, creeping in the back, as it enjoyed holding him down.
Upon noticing this, John took in a deep breath in the darkness and said the words again. This time, more resolved.
'Wake up'
John suddenly opened his eyes as he sat up before coughing out all the remaining water in his system.
”*Cough* *Cough*”
For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Confused, John gave a quick look around him and noticed that a surprised look on everyone's face.
The first to speak was Hexo who even stuttered on his words.
”H-He's awake! He's awake!!!” He shouted
Satire and Shera both breathed a sigh of relief while a big smile was formed on the guild master's face.
”I told you he'd pull through!” Said Hexo
”Weren't you the one literally panicking a while ago?” Satire asked as she gave him the stare
”N-No…” Hexo muttered slightly embarrassed
”As expected of our Hero, even drowning is no match for him!” Said the guild master
”He didn't drown!” Satire responded
The party was filled with Joy the moment they saw that John was still alive.
”Hey John, tell them that you didn't-”
Once Satire had turned to John for help, she was taken aback and completely forgot about finishing her sentence.
The same happened for the others who noticed this. Once they saw the look on John's face, they were all taken aback.
Long spiky dark and white hair, and sharp eyes with glowing irises which resembled the sunrise and a pupil which resembled the night sky. They could see his eyes now that the blindfold was off, but that wasn't what had taken them aback.
A smile could be seen formed on his face as a tear flowed down it. Never could they have ever imagined seeing such an expression on John's face.
John had only noticed this now, quickly wiped his eyes before muttering.
”Sorry… I just remembered something…”
However they still remained speechless. The one to first break the silence was Satire.
”John, you… You're-”
Before she could finish, Satire was interrupted by John who shouted.
”GET BACK!”
As this happened, golden electrical currents could be seen flowing through and around him.
”Eh-”
Yellow lighting, struck right where John was standing, electrifying John as it did so. The clouds in the sky had turned dark and began to circle in the sky above John.
