Deranged Writer's Afterword

Chapter 77 Descent To The End (4)



Dina had promised herself that she would only watch.

Revealing herself wasn't an option....but yet here she was trying to protect the boy.

Why did she step into his fight ?

Dina didn't know...her legs just started moving on their own when the boy was in danger.

She thought that saving the boy was detrimental since she still had many things to ask him, she made herself believe that was the only reason why she stepped up.

" Show yourself...", said the man in the ragged cloak.

Looking at the man in the ragged cloak, Dina felt strange.

The aura around him felt strange... but ignoring the red bells, she revealed herself. It was a relief that she was wearing a mask.

" Who are you ?", Dina asked.

The man remained silent.

Sighing, Dina strengthened her grip on her sword.

' Swhing'

' Chisng'

The sounds of a scythe and a sword clashing against each other rang out inside the silent room.

Dina was surprised.

While Dina was the weakest angel on a physical scale...she was still an angel. The man before wasn't that strong but he managed to barely block all of her attack even though she was holding back a lot.

" I have no ill will against you...all I want is the anomaly.", the man finally spoke.

" What anomaly ?", Dina asked confused.

" That on-", the man stops speaking midway after he turns around to find that Adam was no longer present inside the room.

The man lets out a sigh and closes his eyes.

Dina watches as the man disappears in front of her, she couldn't feel the man's presence in the room.

'Is it a skill ?', Dina thought searching for the man.

A FEW MINUTES EARLIER

Adam's POV

_______________________

I watch as the both of them fight.

Dina might be one of the weaker angels but still she was an angel...so victory was assured for her. I don't want to be here after she's done with him.

I need to get out of here....now.

Just as I was about to bolt, a whimper reached my ear...

[ Please...help her.], a voice rang inside my head startling me.

I look back to meet the emerald eyes of the dying panther, somehow I knew that the voice belonged to the panther.

It had been shot with that laser beam right in the head, but it seemed to have deflected some of the power of the shot with it's mana.

[ Please....my child.]

It's kind of weird to call me that...since it didn't look that old, it takes me some time to understand that she wasn't talking about me. There were two baby panthers lying behind her covered in blood and other fluids.

The fat panther was pregnant ?

Now, I feel bad for calling her fat.

[ Please save her...]

I assume she was talking about her children, but they looked pretty dead to me.

I inspect them a little closer and find that one of them was crying but no sound came out....was it a skill or--

[ Hurry..there's not much time.]

So it's a skill...

I'm sorry but I can't do anything about your children...I'm not even sure I can survive on my own...add in a baby panther-

I'll be dead within minutes..

[ Please...help]

........

~~~~

I look at both the bloodied baby panthers in my hand.

I had broken the bars of cage using my power...silently. It's a miracle that the 'anomaly' guy didn't notice me.

I start running the fuck out of there, I need to get back to the VIP room.

[Thank you....], I hear the voice of the panther one last time.

~~~~

I knew where to keep the panthers, I could hide them in my sub-space.

Sub-space was a pretty common skill that came in all ranks. I don't know which rank my sub-space is but I'm sure that it can contain the two of them. Sub-space was a skill that allowed a person to store things in another dimensional space.

I'm sure living things can survive there.... probably...

Just as I was going to use the skill on them, I run past the bathroom.

~~~~

I put the both of them in one of the stalls in the bathroom.

It's better than leaving them in my sub-space...I don't think they'll survive there.

I get out of the bathroom and start running towards the VIP room.

~~~~

I reached the VIP room...but there's a small problem.

The man was waiting for me outside the door to the VIP room.

I try running back....but the man catches up with me.

He hurls me at the wall, which breaks making me fall into the VIP room either way.

Mission accomplished....I guess.

I struggle to stand up...but before I can, the man grabs me by the neck and throws me...again.

This time I land into a group of people who had their hands tied....

Of course...it's Max and the others.

They look at me surprised.

In the novel, Max and the others escape from the mana resistant chains and start fighting with the Enchantress but now....with all these shitheads here that's not what will happen.

Maybe I can use this situation in my favor.....

" Who are you ?", Max asks

Instead of answering him, I cough out blood which just splatters all over my face since I was wearing a mask.

Tasting my own blood was a rather interesting experience.

It's a miracle my mask is still intact after all that.

" It's time to stop this charade.", the man said while walking towards me.

I hide behind Max and wait for him to do his thing...but he's not breaking free.....

The man was only a few steps away from us when it happened.

A pressure of unparalleled strength fell upon us, making it hard for me to even breathe.

Along with that a woman's voice also reaches our ears,

" Who are you ?"

It was a simple question...yet the authority behind that single question was absolute.

I look at the Enchantress who still sat in that corner reading her book.

This is perfect....

Since I was wearing Half-moon's outfit, she'll think the man was hurting her ally and she'll help m-

" Who are you ?", she asks yet again.

She was not looking at the man....but me.

She was asking me....

...

...

I'm fucked.
