Chapter 137: Chapter 136:A New Story: Responsibilities
It’s been over a week now yet there have been no sight of the First union leader, not even glimpse, yet the butler keeps saying they will see him soon, they all seem to be hiding sothing for other student they weren’t concerned but it bothered Jon even when he didn’t want to think about it, Zearus to Jon looked like he’s hiding sothing. Jon couldn’t let it pass, it was a curiosity that could put him in trouble yet he was so restless.
He sprang up from the chair he was sitting in his room and said to himself, "whatever I’ll find the first leader myself"
He went out and began to walk, the first leader’s fortress was filled with tech-machines, and they seed to be used for nial works, none of the soldiers had machines on them except from their high powered guns with large burst output, Jon enjoyed the scenery of machines doing work humans should do as he walked around trying to figure which building could belong to the first leader in all of the buildings that was stationed in the fortress, he checked and checked but seems to be moving in circle for over the past three hours, Jon stood in the middle of the large buildings lost in confusion, he looked up and suddenly saw a large bird fly over, he instinctively followed, being blocked by a building he shot himself higher with an ice shot and began to run on the buildings, following the bird.
While on still jumping and running on the rooftops he jumped thinking there was more buildings but fell to the floor, he quickly stood up as he didn’t sustain much injury and looked at the flying bird fly into the barren lands far ahead, Jon looked back and was surprised how there was still so much free land upon the city being so spacious and filled with land. As he stepped forward two steps soone else fell down to the ground, the person seems to have made the sa mistake he did. Jon looked as the person stood up, he was surprised to see who it was.
"...what are you doing ...?"
"Sa question I was about to ask you, you do seem like you have lost sothing" Dugnis dusted his clothes as he replied Jon.
"Well whatever I’m training" Jon answered.
"Of course, do your training and I’ll do whatever I was doing"
Jon looked away and imdiately began to run, ’dammit I can’t afford to loose ti because of that nuthead’
"Oh we seem to be heading towards the sa direction..."
Dugnis was effortlessly matching up to Jon’s speed, his eyes turned red as he pointed to them, "I’m a vampire" He disappeared from Jon’s line of sight.
After a little while Jon saw a small building up ahead, he smiled, ’that is it, that is where the first leader is hiding’ but he hurriedly stopped as he got nearer, he fell to his knees and began to pant and struggled for breathe, he struggled to look ahead and saw Dugnis standing and grabbing his neck, he also seems to have been lost of breathe. Then a man with white hair stood afar, where the large bird seems to have just landed on a lifeless small tree.
"Who are you?" A soft yet loud voice rang out in the wilderness. "And why are you here"
’Dammit, I can’t even lift a single finger, he must be the first... such power... Jon was totally helpless, even when he tried talking all he did was drool, the first leader’s presence was so large that it gave room for no more. Dugnis struggled to mutter, ’stu...de...nts’
The first leader read his lips and suddenly they were relieved. Jon finally began to breathe and Dugnis fell to the floor in relieve.
"Are you the students from Mancraa?"
"Yes sir" Jon responded from afar, ’so he knows we should be around
"Follow " He turned to go inside.
As Jon tried to lift his leg to stand up, the whole surrounding transfigured and he found himself seated beside Dugnis and in front of the first leader, he could now take a closer look at the first. He was handso Jon admitted that, he had a very young face, looking like his in his thirties, his chin was clean and his eyes were dull, and he reeked of illness.
"Are you sick?" Dugnis was the first to ask without manners.
"...you this nuthead he’s the first !" Jon tried to murmur it to him but just arrogantly ignored.
"let him be, he seems like an interesting vampire, besides you too seem to have good senses, though I’m now at a stage it cannot be hidden"
Jon talked politely, "we ... I was unsatisfied with your absence... you seem very sick"
"You all look like good kids, well my ti is short, but there seems to be trouble looming around yet again"
"What do you an?" Jon asked.
He pulled down his clothing imdiately Jon and Dugnis covered their nose in irritation, his left chest down to the end of his arm was rotting and emitting a black vapor.
"What is...."
"This is Faust illness, a disease that you get from coming in frequent contacts with demons"
Jon and Dugnis dropped open their mouth.
’Demons...’ Jon in his whole life had never thought he would hear that word.
"Listen well, not all demons will cause this disease, their are so specific demons whose souls have corroded because of their greed to surpass the world, thise are the ones that give you Fausti illness, especially when their swords pierce your skin" the first leader ran his hands towards a small blade mark, a little above his armpit.
"But...how did you co in contacts with demons, I thought they have been extinguished"
"That is what the world thinks, the demons were not extinguished, there was no way they could be extinguished not with the 43 governing demons lords."
Jon exclaid, "forty-three?"
"Yes, during the war seven of them was killed but the rest were luckily locked away."
"...locked away..." Jon’s head could hardly fill all he was being told. Demons were a subject he had never thought about throughout his whole life. "Why are you telling us this?" He couldn’t help but be scared of all that was happening, he felt chills run through his body as the first leader spoke.
"Isn’t that what you ca to find out, besides sooner or later the whole world must know that the fate of the entire world is at risk, ten years from now the five of us won’t be able to protect the world, we will not have the strength to stop th-- arrrggghhh-" he cried out all of a sudden. The black vapor that ca out of it began to get thicker, and the first leader continued to groan in agony.
"Do sothing about it" Dugnis lost his cool and shouted.
"What the hell am I suppose to do?!!" Jon also, both of them lost their cool.
"Well think of sothing, aren’t you suppose to be a genius!"
Jon stretched his right hand forth hand began to freeze the rotting part of his body, after awhile the black vapors had disappeared, the first leader panted and smiled at both of them, "I’m sorry I had to freak you guys out like that" he moved the affected arm around, "but this is the most comfortable I have been since this disease started, what did you do?"
"I freezed it"
"...but that should be impossible because no mana would want to co here"
"Well since I’m a Glazier, I don’t always need mana to do my bidders, I can use my internal energy as a dium"
"Beautiful..." he looks at Dugnis.
"Well I’m a silverblade"
The first leader opened his mouth in awe then smiled, "a silverblade huh... do you guys want
to be your sponsors?"
Jon did not fully grabbed what the first leader ant, "I’m sorry but what is..."
"If I beco your sponsor, then you have a sure spot here, either of you could beco the first union leader"
Dugnis face was filled with joy but Jon humbly refused,
"I’m sorry but I must refuse"
The first leader was surprised, "why?"
"Well I have a path laid out for
and being a union leader is not amidst it"
"Waow..." the first leader was lost for words. "Do you know jobs that overrule the use of mana such as your jobs, Glazier and silverblades are called God god killers and demon slayers, especially the job silverblade, its specifically a demon slayers unique job."
"And why are you saying this...?" Jon answered, involving a bit of rudeness in his tone.
"For the past hundreds of years it has been the responsibility of the first five seat that the gateway does not break as it wasn’t built perfect, so we were tasked with fight the ones that leak out and reinforcing the gate with our life-force, however if the gate fully breaks, the entire world starting from the central artic would eventually have to fight, this is not sothing to run from, instead it is an honor that I can fight and lay my life for the sake of the world".
’Is he trying to say I’m running away...this dude knows nothing!’ Jon answered with pretentious humility, "I understand your point sir"
Just then Zearus barged in and angrily spoke at the first leader, "Ellifis, what have you done?!!"
The first elder stared up at him with anger also in his eyes, "what i should have done"
Jon and Dugnis was lost in between because they don’t seem to understand the next episode that was about to unfold before them.
