Novel Full Chapter 443 The Approaching Threat & The Three Agents
—–
After days of traveling across the skies of Canada and polluting everywhere he landed with his Corrupted Miasma and his Phantasmal Essence, Phantasmos, the Phantom General of the Demon King of Death, which had infiltrated inside of Earth for the sake of destroying the World Tree’s original body, was now closer to his goal than ever before.
“I can feel her presence, that wretched scent of pure and divine life and nature… Soon, soon!”
Phantasmos had already covered most of the path towards his target, and he couldn’t help but smile. His entire body had undergone several changes as he absorbed Mana and Hollows, and of course, the souls of countless living beings he had killed on his way here.
“Hmph, it seems that normal monsters are beginning to appear around these areas where humans are less common as well…” Phantasmos said. “Well, you all may join our endeavors, just as the many others behind us.”
He swung his phantasmal hands, as swarms of Infected Hollows and Undead Animals he had killed and transformed began attacking wild monsters, devouring their flesh and then swiftly turning them into stronger Undead.
It was quite obvious that the power of the Death Generals serving the Demon King of Death would be close to necromancy after all…
As Phantasmos drew closer to his destination, three figures kept chasing him from another side of the countryside, going through the harsh environment of the mountains to not be easily detected by his powerful magic.
“I-I can’t believe what I am seeing with my eyes…” One of the three spoke. A girl with pale as snow skin and sharp, red eyes, alongside blonde hair made into twin tails. Her eyes were shining brightly and granting her the ability to see long distances.
“What are you seeing, Rose?” Wondered one of the two males of the trio of special forces sent to deal with the Hollows, a young and tall man with average looks, brown hair and black eyes.
The young woman looked back at her team, her face distorting with a lot of disgust.
“That thing has risen a whole army of Undead…” She sighed. “That is certainly bad news. We better ask for part time payment at this point. I am not going to nasty my clothes if I’m not paid enough.”
“Undead?!” The second man in the team wondered. Unlike the other, he was Asian-looking, and one of his eyes was red-colored. “But that would only mean that a Yokai capable of summoning undead would emerge! Why did it appear out of nowhere? Don’t they usually show up when there’s a special event within the Underworld?”
“Yokai? Josuke we’re not in Japan, we don’t call them like that here, just a Specter is fine. Sheesh.” Sighed the brown-haired man.
“I’m not from Japan, my family is from America!” Josuke got angrier as he heard his companion make a rather harsh remark. “Do you want me to beat some sense in your thick Canadian skull?”
“Hoh? Wanna go bastard?” Asked the brown-haired man.
“Josuke, Albert, stop being so in love with one another for five seconds and listen! Whatever that thing is, it is surely AT LEAST, a C Rank Specter, it has the capacity of summoning more monsters as well! And it might arrive at his destination in a day or two… We need to prepare a barricade and stop him before he completely wipes out that town…” The girl sighed. Her eyes suddenly turned back to blue color.
“Is it even worth the effort? It is just a small town.” Sighed Albert. “I feel like the money won’t make for all our troubles, and we might even die. Imagine us dying and then turning into that dan ghost’s slaves…”
“It’s not like we even need you.” Josuke said. “I can burn them all into a crisp.”
“I don’t think that’ll work out completely, Josuke.” Sighed Rose. “Let’s concentrate on the mission for now. It has been a long while since I confronted a Necromancer, the last time was when I killed a crazed Vampire back in England that was turning people into Ghouls, tough guy, but still died to the Sunlight Cross.” ．
“You brought it with you?” Sighed Albert. “I am surprised you’re even allowed to go around with that thing, seeing you’re a Dhampir and all…”
“I was raised by the Vatican specifically to kill Undead and Vampires, do you think they would let a nobody like you handle it around then?” Sighed Rose.
“You damn old hag…” Albert gritted his teeth. “Alright, let’s go then, we’re wasting too much time here. We should land on the town earlier today to set everything up. Though, I fear we won’t be able to keep everything a secret anymore.”
“The boss knows we can’t, this is probably why he said we should do everything we can to stop them, no matter what.” Josuke pointed out. “And… have none of you felt it? The three masses of Mana that have suddenly grown so powerful even I am surprised back in that town?”
“I thought they were some wild monster, now that they’re showing up so frequently… But it is not?” Albert wondered.
“I felt them the most out of you two.” Sighed Rose. “The presences of three powerful magicians, who seem to only be growing stronger. Depending on the situation, we might be forced to either kill them or… well, receive their help, it all depends if they want to cooperate.”
“There hasn’t been a register of an agent or anybody within the Ancient Bloodlines living there either…” Albert sighed. “Do you think… That they could be Awakeners?”
“No, Awakeners are not this powerful, these three just go completely beyond a normal Awakener…” Rose said. “I hope they can help us instead of fighting us…”
“In the supernatural world that’s a hard bet to win.” Josuke laughed. “But we might see, the world’s changing so much already… Things are only going to get crazier. [Phoenix Flight]”
FLAAAASH!
Josuke quickly grabbed the other two with his arms as flames emerged out of his back and shaped as wings, flying into the skies at an incredible speed.
