[Adam's POV]
.
.
A FEW MINUTES BEFORE
.
.
After eting with Herath, I hastened my step towards the Array Shop.
While I was pretty much sure nothing life threatening will happen to the sisters in this town, I can't make a promise for anything that is trauma inducing.
It does not matter the powers of the sister, this town is pretty crazy in its own sense. Oftentis, even the weaker ones could kill you using cheap tricks. Fairness never existed in this town to begin with.
Walking with haste, I reached near the place as I sense soone coming towards . And the number of people who were coming towards were two.
"Hmmm?" I was surprised, as their presence was sothing that didn't belong to this town.
'The dark mages? Or perhaps the Witch hunters?'
The presence reached closer to , and I could sense the killing intent oozing out from it. It was way too easy to guess the direction of the guy as he reached closer to .
And taking out an array filled with air under pressure, I then positioned it properly before pointing it towards that man.
-Slash!
A strong slash ca out of the array and cut down the neck of that man as his appearance finally ca into light.
[You have killed the Lvl 34 Bronze Witch Hunter Alrea!]
[ 12,000 Exp Received!!]
And montarily after, I saw the other man stopping as his appearance beca clear as well. Either he was too scared to maintain the mana or perhaps he ran out of it.
But his fear was pretty much written all over his face as he looked at his dead comrade.
"How?" He looked at with fear, his legs shaking as he asked again," how did you see?"
"Trust pal. You wouldn't wanna know," I spoke as I moved closer to him at a rapid speed. He too prepared his crossbow and pointed at before shooting a couple of shots.
Taking out another array in which an extrely dense amount of air was concentrated, I created a wall of air that ford in front of . Because of how I created it, it seed like I created an invisible wall in front of .
The crossbows hit that wall before pausing in the air because of the air pressure.
And the witch hunter looked at that before looking at the evil smirk that had on my face. He felt fear once more, taking a step back. I saw him preparing to run away from there.
Though I reached out my hand towards the wall and poured a tiny bit of mana into it, disturbing the air pressure accordingly.
And within the limits of my calculations, the crossbows turned around and hit that hunter 10 tis faster than before, destroying his left arm and right leg.
'Was aiming for the head but this is fine too,' I thought as I moved closer to him one step at a ti.
"Please let…. …-" he was speaking, but I cut his head just like I did with the other one and picked them both up. Humans' heads, especially witch hunter's is precious.
They are filled with Gray silver to grant them protection.
And picking them, I then moved towards the array shop. While I was a tad bit late, I guess it still wasn't too late.
'Seems like Mrs. Thompson found the kids again… is it a coincidence at this point?' I asked myself as I spoke in a loud voice.
"Mrs. Thompson. This one is under my protection."
Moving closer, I saw Leena standing there looking at . While Mrs. Thompson didn't seem like, she heard as she continued towards Anna.
"Mrs. Thompson…. They are both under my protection," I spoke as I activated [Eyes of Mana], and then prepared for a heavy fight.
1…. 2… 4… 5.
'A total of 5, huh? Should take a few minutes if I only use Array,' I thought as I counted the number of guards around us.
"Wesker," Mrs. Thomspon turned to , her eyes dissatisfied with what I just said. But her words were different from her expressions.
"I ca here to tell you a couple of things that are happening around. Also, I was thinking if you could pass a ssage to Morpheus as well," she spoke as she looked at .
Mrs. Thompson was one of the high level people in this city. So, I let the information that 'Morpheus and Wesker are connected' out to her.
Not in the sense we are the sa, but more like we are in the sa organization.
"Sure. But could you let Anna go?" I spoke as I took out a couple of arrays.
-Whoosh!
-Whoosh!
-Whoosh!!
-Whoosh!
-Whoosh!!
All 5 guards appeared around as they pointed their weapons at my vital points.
"Children! Behave!!" Mrs. Thompson shouted in anger making the guards shake as they took a step back each.
She herself stepped away from Anna and let Leena go off the charm. While she observed with an apologetic look as she spoke,
"Apologies Wesker. Seems like i didn't teach my children properly enough. I will make sure they won't do it again."
Shivers ran down everyone's spine around except as they looked at Mrs. Thompson. anwhile, I spoke in a calm voice to her,
"It's fine. Nothing enough to make sweat. I might have had fun playing with them as well."
Hearing my voice she chuckled as she spoke,
"Oh you. That is what I like about you and your friend. Not a trace of fear as if you already know what is going to happen."
"Part of being a businessman," I answered lightly as I moved closer to Leena and then put an array on her head.
"Cough…. Cough… cough cough… blergh… blergh… cough," she coughed a lot before vomiting as her senses began to return. Falling on her knees, I could see her eyes bloodshot in fear.
"It's fine. I am here," I spoke as I patted her head before wiping a bit of tears and then moving towards Anna.
"Please let's get back into the shop. The night is getting colder by the minute," I said, making her nod at .
anwhile, I helped Anna with another type of array that would help her calm down. It will also erase bits of her mories of whatever happened right now.
And then I helped her into the shop, while I saw Leena still coughing on the floor. Turning back to the 5 guards who seed to be standing still in fear, I then paused for a mont before speaking,
"Make sure nothing happens to her while she is like that. You do that and I will make sure Mrs. Thomspon forgets whatever happened today."
Their eyes, which seed half dead, were now lit up as they observed . They saw as if I were their ssiah or sothing before they nodded and vanished again.
Inside the shop, Mrs. Thompson took a seat herself, while I helped Anna to the blanket placed on the floor. I cast an array that would help her sleep before I moved to bring another chair and a small table.
Taking the chair and the table, I then placed them in front of Mrs. Thompson, and then poured tea and biscuits before sitting down.
"Aren't you a gentleman?" She smiled as she looked at before taking the cup and then drinking the tea. I nodded before asking,
"So. What news got the Duke's wife to the Array Maker in the middle of the night?"
She took a small bite and then began tasting it properly before eating it. And another sip of the tea, as she seed to enjoy the llow flavor.
"How much do you know about the Book of Array?" She asked as I looked back at the information that I had from my previous life.
The Book of Array.
It was quite a famous artifact that the Lost God of Knowledge from the ancient tis possessed.
While only temporarily, the Goddess of Water had it in the War of the Gods, showing its impressive might. It was a book that contained an insane number of magic arrays stored in it.
Kind of a wish fulfillnt array.
Though it had its own surprising drawback. It ended up capturing the Goddess of Knowledge into the book and transforming her into an Array itself.
Power at the cost of life kind of thing.
Another thing that needs to be pointed out is that the array was said to be alive… however that was more of a speculation than a proven point
As of right now, only 7 people know its location, unfortunately that doesn't include . I only know bits about it and nothing that would be ga changing.
After formulating my thoughts, I looked at Mrs. Thomspon making the most innocent yet curious face I had made yet and asked,
"What Book of Array?"
