Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Morgoths

Against the three Battle Instructors, he knew his chances were slim, he could never stand against entities whose levels are far above what he could even contend with, twice his level...they are different.

The Battle Instructor's spatial type Talent controlled Gravity itself.

Adding pressure to the force he exerted, pinning Riley into the hardened metallic wall, Riley gritted his teeths, he struggled intensely with the intense pain, the grueling pressure he felt was out of this world.

The other subjects who witnessed this were frightened, scared of what might happened to them if this was directed at them, the groans of Riley caused their hearts to race, overwhlemed by fear.

Riley gnashed his teeths.

He felt his muscles tightened, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes glowed brightly, everyone witnessing this was stunned by the sudden movements of Riley, Riley pushed off the twisted gravity.

Struggling to break free but he was slammed back into the wall, with 2x the gravity increased.

And the timer was reaching it's end.

5...4...3...2...1.....0

\You have adapted to the Graviton Talent/

\You have gained resistance to the Talent/

Riley could feel his muscles expanding, his eyes squinted when he vanished without a single trace, waves of shock was unleashed, shocking everyone present before him, not even the Battle Instructors were exploded.

Riley not only escaped bypassed the effects of the Graviton Talent but he became more faster than before.

The Battle Instructor was swift, his reaction speed wasn't something to be joked with, easily evading the bone breaking punch thrown against him by Riley, he moved back, staring at directly at Riley.

Riley's spotted panting heavily, trying to catch his breath.

The other Battle Instructors tried making their moves but they were swiftly blocked by the first Battle Instructor, he redrew his mana, slowly approaching Riley, Riley remained were he stood, not moving an inch.

" Impressive, to think you not only bypassed my Talent.....you only reached out to attack me, atleast you're not so useless after all....I'll forgive your manners but the next time you try attacking me "

" You won't live to see another day " the Battle Instructor warned.

" You will forgive my manners? bullshit, I don't need forgiveness, I saw myself dying and I retaliated, do you think I will sit back and watch you kill me? that ain't gonna work " Riley raged out.

Shocking everyone within the room.

The first Battle Instructor remained quiet for a few seconds, not uttering a single word, he walked passed Riley with the two Battle Instructors following him from behind, they approached the exit door.

" A mission has been appointed to you subjects, you tools will be participating in a subjugation mission alongside soldiers from other agencies, and you will be hunting down a particular target "

" All informations will be given to you tonight, for now....you will train with eachother, prepare your mind for your fate, I cannot guarantee any of you will survive this mission so say your goodbyes "

" A leader will be appointed to you toys on the day of deployment, I wish you luck " the first Battle Instructor uttered, the door opened up and they advanced out of the room, the door was locked.

With the infantry subjects still within the walls of the room.

The Battle Instructor let's out a sigh, slowly taking off his mask..... revealing his face, he had a scar on his left cheek, the rest did the same as they were seen walking across the hallway.

" Captain Sky, Why did you spare that kid? he attacked you, you should have killed him " One of the two Battle Instructors voiced out, the first Battle Instructor sighed, he expected that question to be asked, he maintained himself.

" I expected that question but there was no need to kill such instrument "

" If he's going to die then he should die on the war front and besides I spared him because he achieved a near impossible feat, to think a child of his level was able to bypass my graviton Talent "

" Not even those on my level is capable of doing that, it makes me wonder what exactly is his Talent? till now....no one has figured it out yet " the first Battle Instructor, Captain Sky calmly explained.

" True tho, but it doesn't matter "

" Whether we killed him or he dies on the warfront, his death has been sanctioned already, we have all been groomed to die, as long as we are forces of IPac, we will surely die soon " the second Battle Instructor stated.

" We must report the current situation to the Zonal Co-ordinator "

**********

Riley rested his back on the wall, he breathed in fresh air into his lungs, his lungs and the rest of his organs were compressed by the intense gravity, but now they're returning back to their normal shapes.

" That was so cool mehn, you shocked those assholes " A voice was heard.

Riley raised to see a boy his age standing before him, his face laced with smiles, beside him stood a boy, shy looking, half of his face were covered by his long hair, meanwhile his friend is smiling sheepishly.

" Jackson stop, do you want to die? how can you call the Slavers assholes? " The shy looking kid queried, fearing for his friend's life but he shrugged it off without care.

" I don't care what happens to me, have you forgotten we are being prepared to be sent off to our deaths? we are in the IPac so we will be dying soon.....if they kill me, it doesn't matter " the boy named Jackson said.

Slowly approaching Riley..... Riley's eyes squinted in response.

" Who are you? " Riley questioned.

" Me? I'm nobody, just an ordinary human being, a future friend of yours, what you did was cool, not only did you bypass that gravity Talent, you also attacked him, not many could even dare do that " Jackson said.

" Hmph, I know.....I merely did it because I was instinctively in danger, had to defend myself in anyway possible, I got lucky with it..... don't try it " Riley warned.

" Hmph, does it matter if I tried it and got killed in process? we will be going to die in three days and It's rumored that the forces of IPac participating in the subjugation mission are mere foot soldiers "

" This means we will be discarded " Jackson explained.

" So? this world isn't fair....live with it, it doesn't matter if we live or if we die, we can loot them for being humans, the weak are worthless, since we are weak....we are only useful as foot soldiers " Riley said.

" Hmph, it looks like you have accepted your death.....I haven't, I still have a reason to live " Jackson bragged.

" Don't give a fuck about it, now if you don't mind....can you get out of my face? " Riley asked.

" Nah, not only after we introduce ourselves, my name is Jackson and this is my friend Shilo, we're friends because our Talents are kinda related " Jackson said, Riley turned his gaze, staring at the shy kid.

The shy kid whose name is Shilo bent his head down.

" Related huh? what kind of Talents do you both possess? " Riley asked, he noticed the change in the atmosphere, the eyes of Jackson glowed, with claws sprouted out of his fingers, fangs grew out of his teeths.

His body was covered in brown colored hairs, suprising Riley.

" My Talent grants me the ability to harness animalistic spirits, which means I could possess the abilities of animals, I could be the fastest using the spirit of a cheetah and many more " Jackson bragged.

He returned back to his normal state, still smiling.

" I see, that's cool and what about your friend? " Riley asked.

" Shilo, can't you introduce yourself? " Jackson asked.

" Ummm...well my Talent is simply shape shifting but only focused to anything that deals with animals and monsters " Shilo explained, Riley couldn't help but smile.....they both had similar types of Talents.

" Well good for you guys, I should be going now " Riley said.

" Umm aren't you going to tell us your name? since we will be dying together in a few days, atleast I should get to know your name " Jackson said, Riley let's out a sigh, gently tilting his gaze.

" The name is Riley.....not that it matters in the first place and besides I don't do friends so don't expect me to die together with you two, If I'm to die.....I prefer dying alone " Riley stated.

He quickly made his way out of the scene, with his hands tucked in his pocket.

The eyes of every Subjects were fixed on him as they watched him leave, everyone continued what they were doing, training, mentally preparing themselves for their incoming deaths, many more.

Riley walked into a darkened area within the training hall, the arms of Zaine were wrapped around his chest from behind, gently massaging him, a giggle escaped her lips.

" Zaine? " Riley called out.

" Yes my husband, you did well restraining yourself from those humans, not even Myzel could restrain herself, Alpha had to calm her down " Zaine reported.

" I was aware of that already, have you forgotten I'm your husbands? I know everything that's happening "

" But there's something I need to know, I will be deployed in three days to hunt down something which trespassed during a double gate break, I want to know what I will be dealing with "

" Can you find it out for me? " Riley asked.

" Already done that, you should be thanking your stars you awakened before it came " the voice of Alpha echoed, she made her way into the scene.... standing before Riley.

Riley had a confounded look on his face.

" Huh? what are you talking about? " Riley asked.

" That's a Mogorth, dimensional lifeforms, they are entities who are the opposites of my race, creatures who were birthed from the dark ages, and they're the enemies of the Bloodnight Household "

" A Mogorth trespassing into this world means one thing, it has come to devour the last of the Bloodnights, It's here to feast on you, Riley Bloodnight! "
