BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146 145. Announcing Their Return (2).
[Announce the return of the 'UNCHARTED.']
***
In the underground facility.
Louie, Arngrim, Henry and Core sat in a semi-circle in front a couch with a leg rest in front of it, Core sat on Henry's lap, while Louie continued to sigh deeply in dejection, Arngrim stared at Louie in a stupefied expression while Henry simply stared at them and shook his head.
"Cheer up, it's not the first time we've seen the death of someone close." Henry decided to break the silence and spoke up.
"Well, we all lost someone close before coming here, I'm not worried about Quinn's death...." Arngrim snapped out of his trance at Henry's words and mumbled.
"Right, I'm worried about Eshwar because he thought of Quinn like a family...." Louie continued Arngrim's words.
"I don't think Eshwar that weak hearted, but...." Core mumbled, but....
[Announce the return of the 'UNCHARTED.'] They all abruptly flinched in unison when they heard Eshwar's voice in their head, it sounded cold and slightly melancholy.
".... We're back in business." Arngrim muttered and stood up.
"He sounded hurt, maybe because he lost Quinn...." Louie mumbled.
"Well, I'll go and announce our return, the Eshwar we know will get over it in a day or two." Core said with a smile and walked towards her room.
'No, he just holds a grudge that could burst out the second he gets a chance to strike back, he has never gotten over anything nor will he ever....' Henry thought and shook his head.
"'Mind Link' is one damn useful thing...." Henry mumbled with a chuckle.

VROOOM
VRO-VROOOM
I rode my bike until I reached sector two and continued until I reached the most inner zone of the sector two where the most Rank-S monsters reside, though they are slightly weaker than the Rank-AA monsters which spawn in sector one, they are still considered as 'strong' monsters from the 'normal' standards set by the human domain.
THROB
".... I'll have to walk from here..." I mumbled.
"How annoying." A Rank-S monster, a Orc warrior popped into in front of me with a giant club while hunting down the Rank-AA wolves.
"Rainfall." I mumbled and got off from my bike.
THROB
"Hmm..." A sudden idea popped up in my mind as thousands of ice needles formed above my head.
'I guess, I'll try, there's nothing wrong in trying something new....' I held out my right hand, and a twin axe head materialized above my hand, chilling the air around it and turning it visibly white.
"Next are the chains...." I raised my hand and turned it in a twisting manner, focusing on the ice needles and imagining the process and its appearance.
"Tsk." I clicked my tongue, drew my hand back along with the twin axe head, and threw it as hard as I could.
BOOM
WHOOOSH
CRA-CRACK
SPLURT
CRASH
BAM
Everything around me tore apart, up to ten steps on both sides, killing three monsters in the process, two Rank-AA wolves and a Orc warrior, things around me were simply raze to ground and the axe head which I threw flew until there was something strong enough to stop it, only after ripping apart fifteen trees from their roots continuously did it stop.
THROB
"Haa.... F**k." I crouched down and cursed.
THROB
"I can't focus, dammit."
"F**K!" I roared, dashed and got on my bike.
VROOOM

VROOOOMMM
THROB
"Stop!" I roared at my throbbing heart as I drove faster towards sector one.
There are simple gates connected to certain other sectors, this is what humans in the human domain use for going to the neighbouring sectors because not everybody can afford to travel long distances by using the portal areas.

VROOM
A scent that was all too familiar hit my nostrils: trees, mud, rotten bodies, and blood. I drove through sector one until any monsters were caught in my sight and fortunately, I didn't have to wait for long as a Ogre appeared in my right.
THROB
"F**king son of a bit*h! Come!" I roared and jumped off of my bike.
CRASH
My bike crashed into a nearby tree and bounced back once before collapsing to the side and stopped moving.
BAM
I jumped to the right where the Ogre was and instantly punched its face before it could even react to me.
THROB
"Where?" I looked around in search of more monsters and....
BOOM
Dark purple hue exploded out of body and reached to the centre parts of the sector one while I stood at the start of it.
BOOM
I lunged forward to the nearest monster I sensed, leaving behind a 5 feet wide crater beneath my foot.
THROB
WHOOSH (6x)
BAM
Another Ogre was caught and I lunged forward again, ignoring the blood that splattered on me, a swarm of goblins appeared in front of my sight, I dashed and halted five steps away from the goblins, raised my right leg and slammed it to the ground.
BAM
Again, a five-foot-wide crater appeared beneath my foot, and four small ice spikes protruded out in front my foot which multiplied thrice in both, numbers and size by the time it reached the goblins and skewering them before they could even face me, I could say that 'they died without knowing what killed them,' at the sight in front of me.
THROB
BOOM
I took a step forward, crouched down slightly and lunged forward before the other foot touched the ground, the werewolves started to appear which could only be found at the start of the inner parts of sector one...
Not that it mattered.
BAM
I punched at its stomach and killed it in one shot, and as soon as I killed that werewolf, four more popped out and dashed towards me, which made me happy cause they could react to my speed, which meant the monsters which are going to appear from now on, can react to my speed and what should I do about it? I just have to go....
Faster.
SWISH
THROB
I noticed the werewolves eyes go wide, which meant that either they could see me, but couldn't react or I completely disappeared from their sights which is more....Likely.
BAM (4x)
SPLURT
"!" Right after I killed the werewolves, I remembered that there was an Orc warrior's village in the inner parts of the sector one.
"Well, you better be prepared, cause....."
THROB
"An envoy of death is coming to visit."
