Using his falx, Azreal cut down any arrows that were shot at them
"To think they'd attack us directly at the hotel rooms, did they kill the hotel staff? Or are they in it too?'
Elijah asked, looking out the window.
Outside, the streets were bustling. people going about their daily lives.The only thing that could be considered strange was how most of the people walking around were carrying weapons,they were probably mecernaries
"Seeing as how there is no reaction from the locals, ots safe to say they are eother in or it, being threathened, or just dont know"
Azreal replied as he threw one of the arrows out of the door, into a guy's heart.
He then turned to Serena, who was dialing Mr Farrell on the phone
"Serena, has he replied yet?"
Serena shook her head
"He might still be busy with Zaire, either that or he put on 'don't be disturbed' and is doing something else right now"
Saoirse sighed
"Shall we just cut down these people then? They don't seem that strong"
Saoirse asked as she peeked out, deflecting one of the bullets shot with her blade
"I guess we could"
Elijah replied as he braced himself
Serena's hair glowed orange
"no need, i still have the becklace from earlier"
the 4 look at serena, anticipating what she would do
in her hands, appeared a ball
"…huh?"
"what are you going to do with that?"
she kevin muttered and elijah asked with confusion
serena simply winked
before throwing the ball out at the enemies
gunshots were heard as fhe ball rolled out and…
"boom!!!"
an explosion was heard
The four immediately poked their head up, and the hallway was now quiet
the men were all lying down on the geound and in unison, the four looked at serena, who simply shrugged while standing up
"what are you four waiting for? lets get out"
"wow… divinity is scary"
kevin mumbled under his breath as he stood up
the 3 followed suit
***
walking out of the hallway, serena lets go of the man she was holding
"so much mecernaries.. is this entire hotel owned by one?"
saoirse asked, wiping off the spit that had gotten on her.
"we should get to the entry desk then"
azreal walked in front, taking the lead
Elijah stared at kevin, who was emptying the unconscious man's pockets
kevin looked up
"what?"
"… its nothing"
As the five made it to the front door, they were greeted with a blood bathed- entrance
the front desk was empty, and the floor was decorated with corpses.
in the middle of it stood mr farreal.
Mr farreal looked them directly in the eye as he dropped one of the mens heads onto the floor
"your mission is done"
walking closer to the five, he continued
"as for this town, all residents will be under investigation, so go back to your rooms"
'he seems… tense'
elijah thinks to himself
"mr farreal.. is something wrong?"
azreal asked
currently, mr farreal seemed to be in quite a bad mood
Zaire was also nowhere to be found
"just…go back to your room and dont come out till i tell you to"
unable to defy his instructions, the five quietly headed back to the hotel room.
Elijah looked back, staring at mr farreal with a complicated expression. that mr farreal ignored
***
'He really abandoned me huh?'
i thought to myself as i walked forward
In the past, i was quite a bit faster than mr farreal, but now he seemed to be barely slower than me. did he train in running or something?
I walk forward, adjusting my pendant to be inside my shiet.
My jacket had been tainted with blood at this point, from earlier when i had stabbed that bald guy to death
Normally, i would've killed someone like that in a far worse ways, but as the hero was there, i'd have to settle with making his body look like something that would fit in a kebab stick.
As i walked into the plaza, many of the men were kneeling, some corpses and limbs fell along the wayside, the shops were all empty.
I walked torwards the hotel, ignoring the gazes from the mecernaries who were begging for help
As i walked into the hotel room, i only found mr farreal there, surronded by the people he had slain
He seemed lost in thought, simply staring up into the ceiling
"did you make the others go back to their rooms so they dont need to witness bloodshed?"
My voice seems to have broke him out of his thoughts and he stared directly at me
'his emotions are still as easy to tell as before'
"they're still young, there is no need for them to witness such scenes"
"is that so?"
i walked torwards him
"yes, even you feel disgusted by such a scene, don't you?"
he asked me, sheathing his sword
i stared at the corpses on the ground
though it did remind me of something, it didnt particulary disgust me.
After all, they attacked first, ddint they?
"seems like you dont, you're just as emotional as i remember you to be"
"do you mean emotionless?"
"no"
staring at his face which seemed to have slightly cheered up upon seeing me, i sighed
"since you dont want those kids to get heard, shall we go cleanse the problems ourselves then?"
"kids? they're older than you"
"i was born earlier than them"
"well, you havent lived as long, have you?"
my eyes twitched slightly
"lets just go"
ignoring him, i walked out of the hotel, my eyes glowing slightly as i scanned the surrondings
