Chapter 310 Rush To Save [2]



Roswell city was in sight, I could see the walls around it and was soon about to enter inside. By this time I was starting to feel tired, but it was less than before since my mana capacity has increased as well. 

I looked around in the sky and saw no signs of any portals, well, for now at least. This meant I was here on time, and that was a good thing. 

I kept up my speed and soon entered the boundaries of the city. After that, it didn't take me long to reach my home. However, since the portals had not appeared here yet and I didn't want to make a fuss if possible, I lowered the ice bridge and then jumped out of it. 

Making sure that no one noticed I landed on the outer part of the city. From here on out it was a journey on foot, however, I didn't take the usual way through the road. Since I wanted to reach there as soon as possible I made full use of my speed and took a different way. 

Jumping from roof to roof of different houses I made a run for it, and because I was going so fast and normally people don't sit staring at roofs, I moved without being seen. 

In the span of a few minutes and a long jump down to the road later, I was standing in front of my horse. 

"Finally here!" I said as I exhaled. I was out of breath, but there was no time to rest. 

I pushed open the outer gates and went inside, running and huffing. I stormed inside the house. I hoped from all my heart that my father and mother both were at home right now. 

Running through the corridor I made it to the main hall. There I saw both of them sitting on the couch around the table. 

Father was working on some of his documents, and Mother was reading the newspaper. 

"Mother! Father!" stopping before them, I screamed my lungs out. 

Both of them looked at me at the same time, and Mother stood up with a worried look on her face; probably because I was not looking in the best condition. 

"Zero?! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the academy right now? Did something happen?" Mother asked in a concerned tone. 

"Fuck that! Come with me, we need to get out of here fast!" I replied. 

"Stop right there! Since when did my son start using language like that?!" Father said as he put the documents on the table. 

"I'm sorry Father, but we don't have time for this," I said as I went and grabbed the wrist of both of them. "We have to go. RIGHT NOW!" 

I was trying to take them but they stood their ground. I could've easily dragged them out of here if I used force but I'd never do that. 

I wanted to get this done quickly, but I didn't know for how long I'd be able to stop myself from sitting here and talking with them while confirming that they were real since the last time I saw them they were dead. 

"What do you mean? Why do we need to go? And where are you taking us?" Mother asked.

"I don't have time to explain, we just… need to go," I said in all desperation. Once my parents were safe only then could I take a breath of relief.  I think you should take a look at

"Zero, will you explain what you are trying to say?" Father asked, he had a confused expression on his face. It was as if he was trying to believe my words but I couldn't give him enough reason to do that.

I paused there for a minute and looked at them. Then I simulated this situation from their perspective. They didn't know what was going to happen, or what would happen to them. I came out of nowhere and was asking them to come with me. 

Even though they were my parents it was no surprise that they were going to ask questions. It was weird of me to try and take them like this. 

I sighed and decided to give them. "I don't have to explain but—"

[Zero! To your left!]novℯ/o/?

Suddenly the wall on my left broke with an explosion, and in came a demon beast charging straight toward us. 

There was no thinking involved, my body moved on its own. My hand went to my waist on its own and grabbed the Requiem sword. I kicked off the ground at the same time as I pulled the sword out of its sheath. 

A battle cry left my mouth as I reached near the beast. The sword was swung, and all the rage in me was pushed inside the blade as it touched the side of the beast's neck. 

"Dark Edge!"

A black flash appeared and I spun around in the air and landed on the other side, blood covering the edge of my sword. Behind me, the head of the beast fell to the ground. 

"Begone," I said, and a pointed pillar of ice emerged from the ground and stabbed right through its chest, breaking through the core. 

I looked behind, and the beast was dead. Then I gazed out of the broken wall. From there I saw multiple portals opening in the sky, and thousands of demon beasts coming out of them. 

I spotted a ground of them coming toward me and my parents, and my eyes narrowed. Pointing my sword toward them I activated a spell. 

"Wrath of the Sky!" 

A magic circle opened before the tip of my sword, and soon a pillar of lighting fell from the sky and upon the demon beasts, burning them to a crisp.

Turning toward my parents I walked toward them with blood on my sword and my deep black cloak swaying back and forth. 

They had taken a defensive posture themselves by the time I reached there, and standing before them I offered my hand again. 

"Let's get out of here," I said.
