Chapter 46: Dark Millenium (2/2)

"Riley!"

And as the group was having a conversation, a shrilling screah their ears They all quickly turned their heads towards the noise, only to see Riley's hand on No 19's protruding bones

"Who is your leader, No 19?" Riley once again repeated his question, his voice coe grabbed Riley's shoulder and tried to pull hie him

"It can't be Darkday," Riley then whispered, "Darkday is in retirement, No 19 He proa Wo live the Dark Milleniu to say that Darkday is a liar, No 19?"

"Kh!"

No 19 once again groaned in pain as Riley slightly pulled on his exposed bone However, after a few seconds, he raised one of his hands and s live Darkday!"

"Hm?"

Riley then looked at the man's hand, only to see some sort of mechanism on it as well as No 19's thumb on a red button

"Suicide boe then roared as she quickly rushed towards No 19, "Everyone, find cover!"

"No… brother!" Hannah tried to reach her hand towards Riley, but halfway through it, she found her hand stuck in the air… as if an invisible as blocking her path

"This is…" Scarlet Mage was in the same situation She was about to shi+eld everyone fro her path And it wasn't only thehtly pressed even though there was nothing in front of her; same with Gary and the unnamed schoolmate

"B… brother…" Hannah's chest started to move erratically as she looked at Riley, her fettered breaths al the entire air around her, "What… What are you--"

And before she could even finish her words, her vieas filled with nothing but white

"No!" Her wailing screa the loud thunder that erupted next

"No… no… no!" And as the blinding light slowly faded froain drowning thehtly stu that the invisible wall blocking her path was gone

"Brother!?" She then screamed

"Is everyone okay!?" The dust around theain coain clear, the sight of blood and guts welcomed them

"F… fuck," Gary muttered, "Riley, bro? Where are you!?"

Silvie covered her asp that wanted to burst out froround as she looked at the blood The explosion was strong enough to make a crater and even paint whatever was left of No 19 in it If Riley wasn't able to shi+eld himself then he… he was probably…

"Calm down, Nuclear… Baby"

And before she could finish her terrifying thoughts, she felt Scarlet Mage's hand on her shoulder

"That… wouldn't be enough to kill your brother," Scarlet Mage then said before leaping towards the crater, "He was probably just bloay somewhere due to the force of the explosion, but he should be fine"

"W… what? What are you…"

"I… I believe Miss Scarlet Mage, Nuclear Baby," Silvie sat behind Hannah, holding her hand to co Please… you have to believe he's alive"

"T… that's…" Hannah was going to say so of Silvie's hand, the only thing she could do was nod

Scarlet Mage, on the other hand, could only let out a sigh Of course, Riley is fine, she thought If he wanted to, he could have stopped the explosion fro so? Wasn't she soht-handso that she could--

Scarlet Mage quickly shook her head of the thoughts she was having Right-handlike that Never!

"Interesting"

Riley found hi at the dark sky, his arms completely stretched to the sides as his whole body was planted on the ground Right at the moment of the explosion, he used his abilities to increase the momentum and blast himself away even further

What he did not expect, however, was that the initial blast was already too strong, causing him to fly further than he planned to For a snitude, it would seeroup was not as siht

"Are… you alive?"

"Hm?"

"You are, aren't you? Then please stand up, you are going to revealspot"

Riley then blinked a couple of times as he turned his head towards the feminine voice that suddenly whispered to his left, only to find another Darkday copycat see

"Are you also part of the Dark Milleniuround, "What nuain whispered loudly, "No, ants to be in that fake group? It's me
