Chapter 226 Weird Sensation



Agatha squinted her eyes to examine the ripples more closely. It didn't take her long to figure out that ripple was a bad thing.

The ripple was similar to the one created when those strange black creatures came out of the wall. But this time whatever was about to emerge of the wall was taking longer than it should have.

Agatha also felt this ominous feeling that she couldn't explain when she looked at the ripple.

She turned towards the Celestials who were observing their troops fighting against the black creatures. They were too focused on their troops to even notice the appearance of the strange ripple.

'Did they really not notice that?'

Agatha was starting to feel uneasy. She bit her lower lip and stared at the Celestials.

"Shit!"

Agatha jumped from the high rock where she stood. She landed on the sand and blew it around. Without waiting for too long, Agatha ran towards the group of Celestials.

She headed towards Uriel and Gabriel who she thought was closest to her current direction.

"Sorry to bother you," said Agatha.

Uriel and Gabriel both turned to her at the same time. Their gazes seemed to say that they were staring at something lower, far lower than them.

Especially Uriel, who looked at her while raising one of her eyebrows.

Agatha felt annoyance swelling in her heart. She always felt reluctant to speak directly to these Celestials. For reasons like this.

Agatha swallowed her feelings so that they would not surface. Or else it would be a troublesome matter for her.

"What do you want?" Uriel asked in a curt tone.

Agatha swallowed hard and calmed herself once more before speaking. "There's a ripple in that black wall. I think you should take a look at it."

Agatha said it to the point without wasting any time. She didn't want to talk too long with these arrogant beings.

Uriel and Gabriel exchanged glances. Then they turned toward the wall. But the scene of the battle prevented their vision from seeing the black wall more clearly.

So they put out their wings. A pair of white wings appeared accompanied by a blinding light, making Agatha can't help but narrow her eyes.

The two Archangels then shot upward simultaneously.

It was only when they were floating in the air that they could see that what Agatha said was the truth. They could see ripples on the black wall that looked abnormal.

"She's right," Gabriel said. "What is that?"

"I don't know. Maybe another wave of black creatures," Uriel said.

"But why suddenly there is another wave? Before this they only sent one wave and then waited for some more time to attack again," Gabriel said.

"How should I know, Gabe!" Uriel retorted. "Anyway, we just have to kill whatever comes out of those walls."

Gabriel paused for a few moments, then said. "You are right."

They descended back to the ground. When they got down, Agatha was not there. She immediately left as soon as she finished conveying what she had to say.

The other Celestials who saw what Uriel and Gabriel were doing also tried to see what was on the wall. Not long after, all the Celestials there had noticed the ripples on the wall.

Time passed until finally all the black creatures died at the hands of their warriors. But the problem doesn't seem to be over yet.

Several Celestials shouted orders to their warriors not to let their guard down and pay attention to the black wall. Some of the others conveyed the order through their minds.

The warriors turned towards the wall. And their hearts immediately sunken to realize that the threat would not end even though they had fought hard.

"Brace yourselves!" Uriel said to her warriors. Even though she didn't know what they would fight against yet, Uriel and all the Celestials present knew that whatever came out of there would be troublesome.

*WOOONGGGGHH!!!*

A strange pressure was rising from the ripples on the wall. The ripples grew bigger and let out black smoke that floated in the air, then headed toward the direction of the Celestials.

The warriors readied their weapons seeing the black smoke approaching.

"What is that?" Gabriel asked with a frown looking up at the black smoke in front of him.

"Perhaps a powerful monster will appear," Uriel replied uncertainly.

A moment later, the Celestials were surprised by the appearance of a strange figure stepping out from within the ripples on the wall.

The figure wore a black robe and walked on two legs. Its face was covered by a black cloak. Even though there was a lot of light in this place, all the light seemed to bow before the darkness of the figure's hooded shadow and could not penetrate it.

"Who are you?" one of the warriors asked.

And then, a voice that is difficult to describe, because as if it was uttered from various beings simultaneously, came. "Your doom!"

The black figure waved its hand forward sending a wave of black wind towards the warrior who had spoken. The warrior automatically put a lot of alert from the start so he was already prepared when the attack came.

Even so, he couldn't withstand that strange attack. The warrior was thrown back with such tremendous force that he flew a great distance and landed near the ranks of the Celestials.

After he fell, the warrior still groaned in pain. There is a thin black mist swirling around his body which is probably the source of the pain he is feeling.

That warrior was one of Gabriel's warriors, so the Archangel immediately shot toward him and stretched out his arms to the man. A soft white light shot out of Gabriel's hand and enveloped him.

Gradually, the black mist that was swirling on the warrior's body subsided and disappeared completely.

"ATTACK!"

A Celestial shouted his orders. So, the other Celestials followed suit and started giving orders to attack.

Gabriel also gave an attack order to his warriors. Even so, his thoughts were on his warrior who was still lying in front of him.

There was a suffocating feeling that Gabriel felt when removing the black mist. A suffocation and disturbance that feels... ancient.

Gabriel whipped his head towards the black wall. 'Could it be that the wall... No! That's not possible!'

"What's wrong, Gabe?" Uriel drew closer to him as soon as she saw the confused look on Gabriel's face.

"I don't know, Uriel," Gabriel answered in an agitated tone. Uriel could feel the anxiety in his voice.

"Then why is your face like that?"

Gabriel paused for a few seconds, then answered. "Maybe..."

He turned to Uriel. Then said something that made her eyes widen. The Archangel's face turned pale, and she too, stared at the black wall with an uneasy expression on her face.

The fight between Clyde and Samuel is still going on. They had rested for a few minutes, then resumed their sparring because they were still not satisfied.

Actually, Samuel was the one who felt not satisfied yet to test his strength. Clyde wasn't too eager to continue fighting but since Samuel asked him and he had no reason to refuse, Clyde did it anyway.

"HAAAA!!!" Samuel raised a Mana-coated fist towards Clyde's face.

Clyde crossed his arms in front of his face to block the punch.

*BUAGH!*

Clyde was pushed back. 'That fist feels stronger than before.'

Since earlier Clyde felt that Samuel's strength was increasing but he didn't know how it could happen.

Even so, Samuel's strength was still not comparable to his strength. Clyde only put on an act to show that he was having a hard time not dropping Samuel's excited mood.

Clyde was expecting Samuel to lunge after the punch. However, Samuel was still standing breathlessly in his place while staring at him.

Sweat was already flooding Samuel's entire body. Even so, Clyde could see from his eyes that Samuel still wanted to continue this fight.

"I think you've reached your limit," Clyde said.

Samuel wants to reply by saying that he is fine and can continue. Yet, his body told him otherwise.

His Mana has already been drained a lot and will run out soon. He would have passed out if he continued this and did not know what consequences he would have to bear if he pushed himself to such an extent.

So Samuel decided to end this. "I hate to admit it, but you're right."

Samuel fell down on the grass. 'He doesn't even look tired. Was all he did just now an act?'

Clyde approached Samuel and looked at him from above. "Why are you pushing yourself like this?"

"Because I want to catch up to you," replied Samuel.

"Why?"

Samuel paused. Clyde could see the flashes of red light in his eyes. Samuel said. "I must get revenge, Clyde. Those Celestials took the people I love from me."

Clyde blinked fast because he wasn't expecting that answer. It turned out that Samuel had basically the same motivation as him.

Samuel got up to sit. "You know, I've hated you these past few days because you got strong so quickly. Even though I was the one who saved your life first."

Clyde was surprised to hear that.

"But then I realized that my anger was not your fault." Samuel stood up and pointed towards a shady tree. "Let's go to that tree to talk more comfortably."

Clyde followed Samuel to the tree. He didn't know what Samuel would say. But Clyde felt that it would be a long conversation.
