Chapter 2176 Mess
Alton came back to the Zeus Academy and by that time, the fifth pocket dimension has started.
Sam is once again nowhere to be seen. For him, these pocket dimensions are not interesting anymore. The flaming skulls are operating and they can s.n.a.t.c.h those legacy inheritances while leaving some to Dayus.
In short, only those two will get to hog these inheritances.
Since the flaming skulls are not being tracked, the focus will be on Zeus Academy.
However, at least on the surface, the focus on it has reduced a bit, except for the Norse region"s trials.
As soon as Alton came, he started working on the mission given by this new faith.
In process he realized one thing. More than a dozen people have died the day before. They are dead because they reached the end of the soul contract. The worst part is, they paid so much to delay their deaths, but finally they ended up dead anyway.
This made him gulp down hard and realize that his decision is indeed right.
Even he would have died the same way.
These deaths enveloped the whole region with gloomy expressions. Everyone is now scared and they are now plotting against the Hub.
Most of them wanted to just attack the hub and be done with it, however the news of what happened to the Shadow cavalry is still fresh in their minds. Of course, it is not deterrent for everyone.
As Alton roamed around in the city, he saw a group of Grade 4 students run towards the Hub. He followed them with a frown.
A young man who appeared to be in his thirties is leading the charge and from the second glance, it is obvious that the rest of the group are not actually following him to charge up. They are there to stop him, but failing.
"JOKER! JOKER!!! COME OUT YOU MOTHERf.u.c.kER. COME OUT RIGHT NOW. HOW DARE YOU KILL MY BROTHER?"
The young man yelled on top of his lungs. He took out a trident and threw it at the entrance.
*SWOOSH*
The trident is infused with wind energy and it moved as if a million storms were condensed into that one blow.
It flew through the air and hit the wall, but there is not even a scratch.
"Bro, let"s get out of here. There is no use. It is not like Joker has come and killed your brother with his own hands. It is the effect of soul contract. We should have checked well before we got deceived."
"SO? DO YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE HIM BE? HE KILLED MY BROTHER."
The young man rushed forward.
At the moment, the whole hub is empty. No one has visited with the sudden deaths over a dozen people in just Olympian region. They are yet to know the situation in other regions. But they are sure it is not much different.
As the young man walked in, Icarus walked out of the doorway. He looked at the young man who took out his trident.
"Long time no see. I didn"t realize that you are still in grade 4. I thought you would have graduated by now."
Icarus said nonchalantly.
If Sam is here, he would have recognized this person as well. He is one of the Demi G.o.ds, Sam wanted to kill for a long time.
His face is one of the few that were imprinted in Sam"s mind, because he spoke the most at that time.
"You f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Bring that dog Joker around, right now. Or I will f.u.c.king kill you."
He yelled at Icarus as well, but these are low shouts, he didn"t dare shout as loudly as before. Even though it is common consensus in the whole city that Joker is some hidden expert, some people just don"t believe it until they see it.
On the other hand, he has seen what Icarus can do. Not first hand, but he saw it. That is why, his volume reduced quite a bit.
"If you have come here to use the facilities, then come in. Or, you can f.u.c.k right off. No one can make a fuss in the hub."
As soon as he spoke, the young man is enraged. He infused his energy into the trident and got ready to attack, however, he suddenly saw a flash in front of his face and before he knew it, his body felt light.
And the next moment, pressure increased on his neck bones.
Finally, he saw it.
Icarus is standing in front of him, or rather Icarus came to his front, caught a hold of his neck and both of them are flying into the sky.
This action obviously caught the eyes of everyone that witnessed the whole fiasco with antic.i.p.ation.
Icarus is covered with spiritual energy that wrapped around him like some divine and holy smoky light.
After reaching a certain height, he looked at the young man dead in the eyes and pulled him by the neck.
The next moment, the energy condensed in his arm. An arm conjured up from pure spiritual energy as it grew bigger and bigger.
And in that giant arm was the young man, getting crushed under its weight and pressure. Several of his bones broke and he turned into a giant ball. He felt like dying would be better than that. However, that was just the beginning, because Icarus threw him like a baseball.
*SWOOSH8
The giant human sized ball was thrown directly at the Zeus Academy. Icarus used so much spiritual energy that the young man left a trial of white smoke behind while most of the energy was enveloped around it.
It almost looked like Icarus was not hitting the young man himself. Instead it felt like he is using the young man as the weapon to hit the city.
Not just the people who are witnessing, the formation that was protecting the Zeus academy also felt the same.
As soon as the body reached the vicinity of the academy, the formation was suddenly activated.
The young man, who was spinning his ball form, vaguely caught the sight of the formation activating. His face paled.
*BOOM*
Under everyone"s gazes, his body hit the formation dome.
His ball form opened up after the impact as he bounced up. He levitated in the air a bit before he came crashing down. The formation seemed to have detected his presence and it opened up.
He crashed into the academy grounds.
He fell in the open ground without doing any actual damage to the academy. Since most of the attack was actually absorbed by the barrier, there is not much force left behind his fall.
The young man lost his consciousness as people took him away.
The whole academy is in a mess. People who didn"t see the situation were scared witless.
That applied to the elders as well. After all, the formation of the academy was triggered and it was a big deal.
Meanwhile, the one who should have been alerted first didn"t even get to know that something like this has happened.
Because at the moment, he trying to investigate something in the City guard"s office.
It is b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot, he is in the city guard office, asking for details regarding a particular person.
He is talking to the guards that were placed near the exchange center.
"So, you are sure that you saw a person wearing hooded clothes and a mask?"
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot confirmed again as he looked at the city guard in front of him. The city guard gulped in nervousness.
It always has been them that interrogated others. Since when was it that the city guards could be interrogated as well?
It is clearly the privilege of the city guards and their status. However at the moment, b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot is using his status of being "strong as f.u.c.k" to interrogate the city guard and his target is the one person who blocked the exchange center.
As soon as he realized just how deep the debts of the academy students with the hub are, he got on track with this.
Within a day, he found out about the mysterious hooded figure that went to the exchange center, which also happened to be the last one that ever went to the exchange center in a long while.
After confirming it again and again, he stood up and went to The exchange center.
The attendant that was standing outside, immediately stood straight and said.
"Sir, the exchange center is not conducting an appraisal for a long while, please come back after the announcement for the reopening is made."
"I am not here to exchange, I am here to take a look at the contrributions."
As soon as he spoke, the attendant froze.
He paused for a moment and nodded before leading b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot to the wall of the exchange center. The attendant took out a token and placed it on the wall.
"I am sorry sir, it will take a couple of minutes, since the contribution board hasn"t been used for a long time, we shut it down."
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot just nodded and waited.
The wall soon glowed brightly before showcasing a large screen. b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot smiled.
