A tanned skin male in the midst of several officers and weapons drawn tension able to repel the cold air, in the man's hand was another in perfect condition but his was in the other male's clutches and it felt like his head was about to exposed
The sound produced from the shoe stepping on the ground was heard from the rear directly facing the male's back since it was the entrance into the kragg city, gate made from mytril timber raise up to 15ft and two layers thick of about 24m
The green eyed man arrived at the scene his expression force as most of his energy had been spent earlier during the rush hour, the male turned facing the man the glow in his eyes was anything but friendly
He slightly raised his head showing hardened jaw muscles and the glow intensified as the two presence clash a slimy harmless breeze feel like needles pricking the skin as scratching sounds made solider slowly withdrawing
"I can let what happened a few days back go because of the respect I retained for you but if you keep this up I would have no choice and result to extreme measures" his tone stern ignoring the intensity of the atmosphere which actually intrigued Asher
"Good that you want to uphold the law and whatnot, but how can that order come when you have an enemy right under your nose?" his tone was vicious as he shot right back drawing the attention to the man in his hand his lifted him up and revealed his identity
"Alex!" his voice heavy and the air around turned sharp right on cue the officers pointed their weapons toward Asher ready to attack the moment the order was given meanwhile Asher shifted his gaze from one officer to another "it seem you all have been scammed if you want to protect him that bad"
His voice clam yet the weight felt like a mytril timber "you little Alex over here is part of the aberrant cult or to put it simply put korvusian" this new echoed making many widen their eyes and be appalled
Murmurs spread around the group many gasp, dropped guards, this news affected Arnold most of all because this particular lieutenant was closed to him and didn't feel anything suspicious about his attitude
"Can you be responsible for that accusation" his voice cracked but this didn't move Asher rather it was his turn to be shocked instead of taking immediate action he was asked if he could be responsible for his accusation he didn't understand
The Korvusian cult are a group of people who commit atrocities, ranging from kidnapping, trafficking, rituals summoning of otherworldly creatures of unholy origins, they were the first to bring an aberrant creature of a legendary rank resulting to loss of life and properties which some are still dealing with aftermaths
Asher gaze was taken aback, he tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes then he widen it again "what have you done to them?" his grip got tighter his glow sharper his tone vicious "let him go!" a voice lashed out from behind, Asher tilted his head and peered through the corner of his eyes and it was one of the sergeant
He looked around and a lot of angry faces stared right back he exhaled as a realization struck him "I suppose I better own up to the title of outcast" his tone sober weaved with sadness but his resolve cemented as his gaze
"This is you last warning let him go" Arnold voice echoed with anger bring a sinister grin on Alex's face "after your departure our foot slowly dug deeper into this region and we have started extending to other region soon we will control all the four region" his tone proud and smug he thought that he had the upper hand against the male only to be proven wrong
Alex felt the body of Asher shake or rather vibrate but he couldn't make out the cause since his head was lowered Alex narrowed his eyes as the vibration slowly increases and the a burst of sinister laugh resounded Asher was clutching his belly and tears flowed down his eyes then he lifted his gaze to Asher "to every successful plan there is a wall to cross I Asher le Mont shall be that wall"
That declaration hung in the air which caused a chain reaction of emotion to burst out as the sergeants to grip there and advance to attack but the instant they took the first step they immediately fell to the ground beads of sweat formed around their brows they try to resist only to be force down
The other men saw this and didn't even think of approaching but still it couldn't save them, their vision slowly blurred out, their insides started revolting and they couldn't hold and they threw up their food others began to stagger while holding on their weapons some went on their knees dropping their weapons and the rest fell face flat
"You have mastered Thy'ril" the words came out as a statement and question as Arnold's eyes widen "mastered is an overstatement Arnold but if you say properly handle then yes that I can do" his tone sympathetic yet jeering "I mean did you think I would remain that weak, come on that was like what five years ago" Asher tone casual then his eyes opened "today is making it the sixth year, happy outcast anniversary" his tone delighted but woven with rage "and as an anniversary surprise"
He lifted Alex in front of them, the sergeants close by couldn't move because it felt like the pillars holding the heaven where no longer there while those behind felt like the air was inadequate for consumption resulting to some of their organs being air deprived
Alex instantly knew what was going to happen and Asher could tell since he shuddered in his hand and gulped "release me a d you be rest assured that no one will come for your life but kill me you can be sure of a life full of perils"
Asher nodded in amazement "is that a threat or a promise" he grinned turning Alex face to his own making sure he got a good look "it doesn't matter donkey face, I will take my chances and if you are brought back tell your colleagues I said hi"
Alex trying to refute but it was to no avail swing both arm and feet none reached Asher, clutching his hand covering his face but his body was devoid of strength to resist, his chest bloated out his eyes ready to pop out his veins bulging out his body, his hand tightly gripping Asher's wrist until a pop sound was heard
Alex eyes opened as the white decolorized into red and taste of iron filled his mouth his hearing blocked his hands lost all motor functions his body heavy his vision blurred red his breathing nonfunctional finally his world turned dark, devoid of colors, sound, taste, and sensation all he felt was nothing.
