Chapter 486 Call Of A Nightmare (1/2)

The road ahead of Sunny was al away froely, a hundred or so ure, the stragglers recoiled So them any attention, Sunny calmly walked forward

The Soul Serpent rested on his shoulder

'Strange… I have never seen an opening Gate up close before'

The deserted street in front of him did, indeed, look very eerie Not only because it was al PTVs, but also because light and shadoere behaving very strangely, the hue of the light slightly wrong, the htly erratic

The sound was strange, too It was deadly quiet, but at the sa that there were barely audible noises co his ears like an inaudible cacophony of muffled, distant, de in the air, getting stronger the closer he got to the nascent Nightnize It looked like a tall vertical depression in the fabric of the world, a place where light refracted in unnatural ways and the inaudible screams were the loudest… not a rift in reality yet, but a hint of one

In front of the Gate, half a dozen people stood, staring at it in tense silence The Awakened who, just like Sunny, decided to answer the call

'Only six of them…'

ReadNovelFullood, it was to be expected Two hundred seconds was just not enough for a lot of willing defenders to arrive Even those ere ready to risk their lives in an atteet to the Gate, after all… this bunch were those who had already been in the immediate impact zone when the alert was sent to their communicators, just like Sunny

Maybe they were overly confident in their abilities, or maybe, just like he, they had people they cared about in the surrounding area, perhaps even in the very same school where Rain was, a few hundred meters behind their backs

In any case, he couldn't help but feel a bit of respect toward these people Co even after it beca to be less than ten Awakened fighting side by side to stall the tide of monsters was beyond that

These people were ready to die to fulfill their duty

'Fools Brave, brave fools'

What about Sunny himself, then?

'I am a fool, too But a cowardly one'

Sunny had no plans of dying today He knehat he was doing, and had ways to escape if things got too dire

Without slowing down even a little, he calmly walked past the six Awakened and stopped with his back to thely, Sunny found hiroup of defenders

Unlike the at the Gate with pale faces, their bodies tense, their eyes full of unease and dark resentment Sunny's pose, however, was confident, indifferent… almost relaxed

And in the eyes of the fearso but darkness

The others reacted to his arrival with exciteood thing, but this one, in particular, looked especially i His onyx armor and fearsome blade were obviously a cut above the Memories they theested either an experienced fighter… or a nized hirel?!"

The others looked at the girl who spoke with confusion

"Who?"

She stared at therel! Haven't you heard of hinition appeared in the eyes of the Awakened gathered in front of the opening Gate One of theered for awoman seems to have heard of you If I may ask, are you an Awakened of some renown?"

Sunny didn't move a muscle, and lied almost on autopilot:

"I am not an Awakened I have no renown"

The man raised an eyebrow

"What do you mean, not an Awakened? Then who are you?"
