Beep!
Beep!
The resounding noise of the holter monitor kept blarring, his eyes twitched, his head rested on the hospital pillow, covered in a blue patient outfit, his half lidded eyes widened in shock!
Letting out a groan when he turned his gaze, he scanned the vicinity!
The closed curtains blocked the lights of the scorched sun from hitting him, protected by the shades!
Stunned to see himself sitted on an hospital bed, he checked himself, shocked to see a drip adminstered to him, with no signs of injuries on his body, his limbs remained fixed!
His bones were unbroken, he couldn't believe his eyes!
He remembered everything visibly, that evening....the chaos he experienced, the terror of being ripped apart by Zutures, the memories of that event kept playing in his mind over and over again!
He sat still for minutes, unmoved from the bed!
Clang!
The door leading into his wardroom opened up, shocked to see Riley sitted on the bed, the nurse quickly shut the door, leaving the scene to report to the higher authorities!
" Rude, she couldn't even wait until I said hi, tch " Riley uttered!
Few minutes later, the door opened up and three officers walked into the room, cladded in their military uniforms, Riley gazed at them, recognizing the entities present before him!
He was left in a state of shock, sweating profusely as he struggled to get up his bed, saluting Major Tennor and Captain Morgan, standing at the center of the two officers was IPac's chief commanding officer!
Fourth Division Commander Tory Sannon!
His hands remained behind his back, glaring directly into the eyes of Riley, Riley's legs shivered in fear, his sweats covered his body, recognizing the rank of the division commander standing before him.
" I pay my greetings to the fourth division commander sir " Riley saluted once again!
Commander Tory wore a grin!
" It seems you were well thought on everything regarding the military, to think you were able to recognize I'm a division commander, child....can you feel it? " Commander Tory questioned, his gaze became sterned!
" Huh? feel what? "
Riley asked!
" Three days ago, I received a report that the delta squad sent to take out a selected few of the Rafarge terrorist organization were trapped and the Major over here sent a rescue troop against to bring them back "
" Afterwards we figured out it was all a trap, the delta squad weren't trapped or in need of rescue because they were all slaughtered "
" Killed by a gifted terrorist who goes by the name Black Spear "
" I sent a battalion to bring back the corpses of my soldiers who died in the battlefield, they found you, the rest were all devoured....feasted by the hungry apex predators, but you were different "
" You were found unconcious "
" Covered in intense bruises, your flesh were torn apart, your chest was torn open and your organs feasted, but what we found was rather different, you were still breathing, still alive after such attacks "
" Its quite impossible to believe but what suprised me the most was the fact that a total of twenty Zurtures were found, corpses of Zurtures surrounded your unconcious body "
" All massacred in a rather brutal manner, my soldiers believed you were the cause of their deaths so I had them test you out "
Commander Tory explained!
" Test me out? " Riley asked.
" Yes, I wanted to know if you were truly a non awakened as the report says but I guess I was disappointed, congratulations on awakening.....gifted soldier Riley " Commander Tory answered.
Riley stood frozen, shocked by the words of the Commander!
" Gifted? " He asked, still not believing the Commander's words!
" Yes, we confirmed your mana output through our advanced techologies, a non awakened holds not even a single drop of mana, although low....your body is flowing with mana, once you are fully healed "
" You will be tested out by our training experts, to determine what your talent is all about " Commander Tory stated!
" But....but...."
" That will be all sergeant Riley, from the doctor's words, you have only a few days to recover, I hope you return back to headquarters as soon as possible, goodbye " Commander Tory stated!
He walked out the room with Major Tennor followed him, leaving Captain Morgan with Riley, silence reigned in the hall!
Without uttering another word, Captain Morgan left the ward room, a loud sigh escaped the lips of Riley, he remained standing on his feet, still not believing what he just heard!
The fact that the supreme commander of IPac personally visited him is something he could never believe if he was told, nor the fact that he is still alive!
He felt it, he was sure of it...Death had taken him that evening!!
Still drowned in his thoughts, his eyes widened.... noticing something strange, he turned his gaze to see a young brunette resting her back on the wall with her arms folded, a grin escaped her lips.
Cladded in a purple armor with her hands covered in black gloves, a sword was hunged on her back!
Her presence alone is far more intimidating!
" I know what you're about to say, didn't they see me standing right? " She asked.
" Yes, how did you evade their detection? " He asked!
" Hmmmm, well that's easily done when I'm here through the summoning contract, no one except my summoner can see me, I don't need to do anything to prevent them from seeing me " She explained.
" Summoning contract? what are you talking about? " He asked.
" Huh? you don't know? I did all those hardwork, aiming to earn the praise of my summoner, how the fuck don't you know that my presence here is your creation? " She questioned, her eyes squinted!
" You still haven't answered my question " Riley said.
" Tch, to think my summoner is this dumb huh? I guess I should properly introduce myself then, the name is Alpha, an ex battle queen, I once served as the strongest swordsmater of the amazon world "
" Cutting down enemies upon enemies until no one was left to stand against me, I ruled for thousands of years until....."
" Tsk, I didn't ask you to yap.....I only wanted to know how you are here with me and what the summoning contract truly is about " Riley said, his words got her more enraged!
" Stubborn brat "
" Instead of thanking me for decimating those monsters and helping you take down those mortals who were against you, especially that spear bastard, this is what I get huh? " She complained.
Riley's was stunned by her words, turning his gaze towards her!
" Spear bastard? are you talking about the Black Spear? " He asked.
" Is that his name? his name is quite powerful, although he proved to be quite strong but even in my lowest form, I easily took care of him " She bragged, chuckling softly.....
" So did you kill him? " He asked.
" Nope, I took one of his hands, before I could kill him, he used a trick and escape my presence, disappearing completely before I could even track him down " She answered!
" So you couldn't even kill him huh? Why brag? " He asked!
" Hey, I told you he used a trick against me, maybe it was some teleportation magic or something like that, It could even be one of those spatial type Talents as well " She said!
Riley sighed out loud!
Gently careesing his hair, he noticed a sudden difference in his body, his hair which was originally black was colored crimson red, he had grown taller, from being five foot and seven inches tall.
He became six foot and two inches tall!!
" Red hair? how's that possible? " He asked himself!
" That's the effects of you awakening your Talents, it's fitting of you, after all the seeds of the Bloodnight is germinating " She uttered, a smirk appeared on her lips!
Riley's eyes widened, he recalled something!
" Bloodnight? those were her words " He spoke out!
" Her? " She asked!
" Yh, a mysterious lady like figure, covered in brightness, sitted on her throne, her eyes were beautiful and....." Riley was interuppted by his summon, he noticed the ferocity in her eyes!
" What's wrong? " He asked!
" Describing the Keeper is forbidden, the fact that you saw her is a confirmation of your awakening, you are a candidate.....but I doubt you're capable of becoming the Celestial Hunter " She said.
" What did you say your name was again? " He asked.
" Alpha, instead of seeing me as a summon, I prefer to be seen as a guardian instead, I'm your guardian Alpha " She said, Riley stared at her for a few minutes before facing the window!
" Although I have no idea what's going on but thank you, because of you.....I'm alive " Riley uttered!
" You don't need to thank me, I only did what I had to do as your summon, being summon into this world with this crappy level of yours, my powers were sealed....for me to properly use my powers "
" You must level up "
" So it benefits me if I tell you the truth " She uttered.
" Huh? the truth about what? " He asked.
" The truth about your true origin, you are a Bloodnight.....known for their ruthless traits, a family of hunters and you are the last of them "
" Riley Bloodnight!! "
--------------------
[Meanwhile]
A loud groan erupted, panting intensely as he struggled to pass through jungles, he lost his left arm, lost his army of Zurtures just because of that thing existed!
A female armored warrior who spawned into existence!
Bringing chaos and slaughtering his own men, the Black Spear sat on the ground, resting his back on a tree, he tried catching his breath, a chuckle escaped his lips!
" Instead of standing there, why don't you come here and help "
He voiced out!
Emerging from the shadows were six entities, cladded in black cloaks, with their faces covered in raven shaped masks, they emitted dark mana, with a demonic symbol imbued on their masks and shirt!
" Ethan Reeves, you were loaned to Rafarge for a few weeks, to think you're this fucked, what happened? " One of the six figures questioned!
" What did ya think? some powerful bitch interfered and fucked me off, although I escaped but I lost this fucking arm, return me back and have me fixed already " He's enraged by their arrogant question.
While he wallowed in this intense pains!
" Very well then but what should be done about Rafarge? " Another asked!
" Dunno, kill them or something..... without me they're fucked at the hands of IPac, we have no use of them now, I'll get that bitch later, for now....fix me "
