Chapter 316 - The Ark Of The Beast That Save A Child (1/2)

”I am not like the others. I will make you into my lab rat to test out all the poisons of the world. And when I finally get to my goal of making the Corrupt Element into a virus, I will destroy Earth as well. So, I will give you hell for the next few years,” threatened the man as he tightened his grip.

”As if! My whole life is already hell, you won't be able to beat that!” spat the child, with a grin.

”Why you...”

Suddenly, a roar rang throughout the area. The man stopped and released the child from his grasp. He had forgotten, the two of them had run out of the town that they were in. He looked around frantically, trying to figure out where they were.

The place looked barren like they were somewhere foreign. There weren't any signs of life around, nor any greenery. All, except for the roar they had heard earlier. He then shook his head and grabbed the child once more, trying to head back.

”Release that child. NOW.”

Now, the voice sounded directly above him. He looked up and was met with the giant underbelly of the beast. The famed Bahamut that Alice had been talking about. The man was fearful as he refused to let the child go.

”And let you eat her? No way!” shouted the man, trying to shield the child.

But at this point, it was clear that the kid wanted to get away from the area. The Bahamut was fearsome, with its wings conjuring up a storm. Its roar could definitely be heard from the next continent away. It struck fear into the child but she was hopeful that the beast was better.

”Release her at once. That is my final order.”

”No.”

”Then you leave me with no choice.”

The Bahamut landed onto the ground, kicking up a dust storm. The ground shook as it landed, with her claws digging into the dirt. It let out a final roar before baring its fangs at the hooded figure. The child had already lost her balance and was on sitting on her backside on the ground.

She then looked around and saw the terrifying beast in front of her, who was busy scaring the man. But there was something awfully familiar with this creature. Especially the creature's eyes and wings. She then recalled the people next door.
