Chapter 194 The City Under Attack (Part 2)
“Tring…Tring…” The dean’s phone rang.
“What happened?” the dean picked the phone and asked. He was one the phone for a few seconds but within those few seconds, his expression suffered extreme changes. From a normal expression to one of shock and then as his face paled slightly, anger took over him as he cut the call and threw his phone on the ground.
“How dare they,” He roared in anger as the mana around him became unstable.
“What happened Prometheus,” Silent Sword asked.
“The attack started,” The dean answered.
“What? How can they attack now? Even the portals haven’t appeared nor has the merge begun,” Silent Sword asked, a bit confused but the anger on his face was apparent as a strange aura formed around him. Looking at him, he seemed to have had a drastic changed as his conserved aura changed into an aura of an unsheathed sword.
Unbridled and angered, Silent Sword turned and looked at the dean as he spoke, “Prometheus, I don’t know much but tell me where they are. I will make sure to take care of them,”
“Don’t go on your own. I will come along with you, so will everyone else. It’s our city and we can’t lose it to some invaders list like that,” As the dean spoke, he waved his hands as the training grounds changed.
The roof opened while the walls turned around and revealed a myriad of weapons lined upon them. From swords to spears, there were bows, hammers, axes and scythes. You name a weapon and it was there, “Kids, pick up a weapon or two. We got some alien a*s to kick,” The dean said.
The others understood the situation and complied with the dean’s orders while the dean took out another phone called Ray,
“Tringg…Tringg…” As Ray picked up the call, the dean spoke, “Ray! Where are you?”
“At main New York City. The city is under attack. I am going to confront them for the meanwhile and kill as many as possible but from what I can sense, there are some bigger forces at hand,” Ray told the dean.
“Okay. We are coming. Take care and don’t act too hastily, you are our hope,” The dean spoke as he cut the call.

Ray put his phone back and turned to Aella, “Lets have some fun,” He spoke and kicked the ground as he disappeared.
“Sure,” She replied back as the wind blew, kicking the ground; she jumped in the air and then walking on air, she followed behind Ray.
In the streets of the city, various silhouettes ran by the shadows and observed the situation. Slowly, the silhouettes spread out through the whole city.
“We are in position,” A silhouette spoke into his ear piece.
“Same for team alpha,” Another silhouette spoke,
“Team Beta is in position too,” At another corner, a silhouette spoke.
“Yeah…Yeah, the others are also in position,” the team leader for team gamma spoke as he gazed at the midnight sky that was illuminated by the countless lights that shone in the city.
“Good work everyone. Attack at once when I signal,” A female voice sounded in their ear piece as they all nodded and affirmed to her order.
Meanwhile,
Ray had reached the Time’s Square as he felt the strongest aura coming from there. Right behind him, Aella also appeared as she stood besides him and spoke, “Could you sense it?” She asked.
“Yeah, I can. A lot of strong presences at that,” he spoke as arcs of lightning crackled all around his body.
“Let’s start,” He muttered as he swung his arm around and threw a thick bolt of lightning at one of the buildings.
“Bang…” The lightning bolt hit the building as the advertisement playing upon it flickered while the electrical discharge traveled through the whole building.
“Hmm…Still not appearing. Guess I will have to up the game,” Ray thought as he stretched his body and pushed both of his hands forward. Then gathering mana into his palms, he formed it into two thick balls of lightning and hurled them at the building.
As he did, the lightning balls flew in the air as they expanded and exploded the moment they hit the building.
“Bang…” The lightning balls exploded as they sent shocks through the building while the whole building short-circuited. Due to this, a fire was caught in the building as it spread through the building.
Since the building was emptied out beforehand, Ray had no qualms in lighting up the whole building. After all, his objective was to get the invaders out of hiding and finish them.
“Whoosh,” As the electrical discharge spread through the building, a silhouette rushed out and landed on the ground.
“So you finally decided to show yourself,” Ray spoke as he spread his legs and took a fighting stance.
“Go home kid. I have no interest in fighting against children,” The figure spat on the ground as he spoke nonchalantly. Then walking forward, it walked out of the shadows and showed its face.
It had purplish skin with black lines engraved all over it while two three horns protruded out of it’s head. In it’s hand was a huge broad sword that gleamed a blueish light.
As Ray looked at the figure, he noticed that not only did it resemble humans but also talked in English. Then, glancing at it’s eyes; he noticed that the figure’s eyes were blood red while a sharp glint occasionally passed through them.
“Oh! Are you sure? Because I think that I am more than enough for you,” Ray spoke as he equipped the Void Gauntlets and clenched his hands in a fist.
“Although I appreciate your enthusiasm to fight. Let me tell you, you won’t walk back alive,” The figure spoke as he stood a couple of meters away from Ray and readied its sword.
“We will see,” He spoke as lightning converged around his Gauntlets, “Aella, keep an eye on that building. I am afraid that the one in front of us is nothing but a small fry,” He communicated to her through a mental transference note and disappeared as he attacked the alien in front of him.
Meanwhile,
The Commander-General’s office,
The commander-general sat on his chair as his secretary came near him and whispered in his ear.
“So it has started,” he muttered as he scratched his chin and spoke, “Keep the battle units on stand-by and send escape teams to evacuate the city. Also, tell my student that he has full authority. Since it’s not a full-on attack, I am sure that he and a couple more would be enough for them,”
As the commander-general ordered, he rubbed his temples in frustration and thought,
“To think that those traitors would let the invaders come in through such a way. I guess we will have to capture them all and abandon the other plans,” He thought to himself and pushed the big red button in front of him.
