[Vladmir's POV Continued!]
.
How long have I been searching for her? How much time has passed? I do not know.
And was it a coincidence that I ended up seeing her here? Or was it fate? I do not know.
But one thing that I do know for sure is...
'I am gonna roast that bitch alive!'
Fury entered my eyes as I took a deeper look at her. My eyes didn't leave the sight of that black-haired bitch even once. I do not know what she was doing here, and I don't understand why she would appear here now of all time. But it doesn't matter... All that matters is that I get to kill her today... or die trying to kill her.
-Step!
-Step!
-Step!
With heavy steps, I walked towards her. The crowd in between was getting denser, but I couldn't lose my focus. With my steps hastening, I observed her talking with someone, a certain guy wearing a black cloak and a white mask, just like Adrian had described.
'Huh?'
The moment I looked at that guy, he turned towards me. Even though there were no holes in the mask for eyes, I could see that he was looking at me. And smiling at me through the mask.
My hurried steps halted, and my breath became heavy. My heartbeat, which was ringing like an alarm, was now loud enough to be heard by those around me.
"Uh... that. Actually..." I then tried to formulate my thoughts, wondering what should relay first. About the angel or about Luciana? Given the-
"Calm down kid," he put his hand on my head as a strange energy filled in my mind. My eyes opened up in shock as I looked at him in disbelief.
'Death Energy? How...?!!!'
I was shocked as I saw him using a healing spell comprising death energy. Forget about the contradicting nature. How could anyone who can use holy energy be capable of using death energy as well?!!
"Now that you are better, tell me. What happened? Did you find something interesting?" He asked, but my mind was still on what had just happened. Just.. What is he?
"Are you really a Heaven's Guardian?" I asked, as I now doubted that. Given what he just did.
He looked at me and thought for a moment before speaking," all I can answer is that I am the solution to your answer. If you want to meet and talk with Luciana Wiregia, I could be your most probable bet."
'I don't trust him,' was the first thought that crossed my mind.
'But I don't have a choice but to trust him,' was the second one.
I sighed in the end as I put my faith in this strange guy who can use both Holy and Death Energy with no complications. I felt like my entire world was turning upside down.
"It's a big world, huh?" I laughed. A little at my misery, a little at the absurdity of the situation that was around me. Even so, I was calmer than a few minutes ago. Looking at the guy who promised to help me out, I once again created a false hope in my mind that everything will work out. Just like I have always done.
"It sure is," he answered me as he smiled and then looked around as well. He tried to find something amidst the crowd but then sighed before looking at me," so. What happened?"
And looking at him, I then proceeded to tell him what I just witnessed earlier,
"I think I saw Luciana Wiregia a few moments ago."
