[Rosalyn's POV:]
.
" Are we sure we can trust him?" Tia asked as she looked at Mia.
" I don't know. We are just following him because Master Rosalyn is following him," Mia answered, making all of them look at .
Though I didn't turn to answer them as I simply kept walking behind Wesker until we reached closer to the outer gate of Border Town.
Not that I trusted him, but more like he seed to know a little too much about us. How should I put this… like he already knew what we needed and what we wanted.
'And by the ti we realized, we were already in his palms, doing whatever he was asking of us,' I sighed as I recalled the eting I had with the elder witches.
" All right. Since we are about to start, let's have a brief recall of what we are going to do in the next 10 minutes," and then he began narrating the entire plan to us as fast as he could.
Didn't take more than a few minutes before he took out a strange device from his dinsional storage and placed it in front of us. And then as he placed another array there… the device began-
"?!!!"
Shocked and terrified, most of us jumped back.
Ominous would be an understatent. This energy was… too dark. Too sinister.
Chills ran down our spines just by looking at it, while we stood there watching that energy spiraling out of the device. It was way worse than we expected it to be.
" Is this hell's energy?" I asked Wesker while he turned with a smile and nodded. His smile made relieved and anxious at the sa ti.
Though his next words wiped all my anxiety and gave pure stress.
" It's actually worse inside there. And a lot more if we, by chance, end up eting a Hell Guardian or sothing."
I gulped as I asked," Hell's Guardian? Sounds powerful… but hopefully we won't be eting anything like that… right?"
And he turned around and smiled as he answered," I wonder about that."
The dark mana was now all over the sky, and was slowly covering the entire area around us. Didn't take much ti before the sky, which was bright blue, was pure dark now.
And a strange silence covered the entire area as we stood there watching the 'fresh' atmosphere that we just ca across.
" Are you gonna keep looking?" Wesker spoke as he looked deep within the forest, making us all turn in that direction.
'Is there sothing?' I questioned as I tried to use my mana sense, but… it didn't work.
'What?!' A bit taken aback, I tried again, but it didn't work. This ca as more of a surprise to , since my senses were one of the most polished skills of mine.
" Don't bother. He is just that strong," Wesker chuckled as he looked at , trying and failing a couple of tis.
" What… is that thing?!!!" Shouted one of the dark mages, pointing at sothing coming out of the forest.
The silhouette of a man coming towards us appeared, whose features beca more apparent as he walked towards us.
It was a bony being, or more like a man wearing bones on his entire body, except his eyes and mouth.
He had this strange presence that was very faint… as if he didn't exist… which made stand on my guard even more.
" How did you sense ? I am pretty sure I was hiding well," he spoke in an eerie voice that seed to co out of a rotten undead.
All of us stepped back a little, as our body subconsciously recognized that the being is dangerous.
'We might die without knowing how and why.'
I knew.
Not just , but everyone else here knew that.
The only one currently capable of moving quite freely were Wesker and the Crazy Manipulator. I could do it sohow, but I won't exactly call it freely moving.
The Crazy Manipulator was on total guard, as he should be. His eyes seed way too serious than what I have heard of him.
As for Wesker,
" I am good at hide and seek," that maniac was calm even in this situation.
Is he that strong or has he lost his mind due to all this pressure? I don't know.
" You seem to know ," the bony guy seed intrigued by his behavior, while Wesker answered with a friendly smile,
" The 11th Inspector under the Shadow Being. The one with sub authority of passive emptiness. It would be odd if I did not know about it and ca here on a whim."
This ti, the bony guy's eyes widened as he was genuinely surprised to hear that. His smile widened as he looked at Wesker and spoke up.
" Am I that famous?!! Wow! That's so good news in a millennium."
It was a strange situation.
At one point, we were having this feeling that our heads would drop in the nick of the second. We were having difficulty in doing almost anything. To the point where so of us were trying not to breathe so as to not get noticed.
And then there was this warm and friendly conversation they were having, as if old friends were eting after a long ti.
" Kind of. Were you patrolling here?" Wesker asked, making him shake his head as he answered,
" Nah! I was just taking a stroll here. It was a coincidence to be caught up in whatever you guys just did."
" I guess so. How are things back at the station?" Wesker asked.
" Dull." The bony guy raised his both hands as if it was a stupid question.
Wesker then laughed before that bony guy's eyes turned serious, making us tighten our grip a little more.
" Now. Before we get even more chummy and friendly. May I ask what is the purpose of your visit here in hell? And obviously… who the hell are you?"
He asked as his voice took a threatening turn from the previously friendly one.
