Chapter 1569: Surrounded



All lights in the ceiling were off during the night and even the stores around the place had been shut down, their lights shutting down along with them.

The streets lacked people as only a couple at most walked this late at night. This was the time when the entire city shut down.

The leader was used to such a time. He had done this a hundred different times, coming out late enough that there were not many people, but early enough that their presence wouldn't be questioned.

The place where they made Dust and where they took it to other locations were different places, so they had to walk all the way there.

As soon as they walked past just a single house, multiple people came running out from all sides, each one holding a long wooden staff, and wearing a military uniform.

The leader and everyone else immediately got scared and nervous. Many of them immediately took out Sparks, ready to consume them.

"Swini Milios! Do not make any sudden move or our soldiers will attack you," a woman's voice came from the group that had suddenly surrounded them.

The leader's face was a mask of anger and confusion as he stared at the many people that surrounded him. He stared in the direction of the voice and saw a woman appear from that direction.

It was a woman wearing a military uniform with the badge 'Captain' prominently showing onT/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

it.

'Fuck!' he thought. He had been surrounded by a Captain and her army. He looked around, trying to see a way out, but there was none. At least, not on his own.

The woman walked toward him, and he knew that he needed to act quickly. He could already feel people trying to probe into his mind, trying to read his thoughts.

'Get out of my damn head!' he screamed, as well as one could scream in their mind.

He tried his best to not think about what he was going to do next, waiting for the final moment when he would do so.

"How did you locate me?" he asked Redaime. "Who gave me up?"

"There's no point," Nirun said. "You can't get away from him. Just give up."

"What the fuck are you saying?" the leader demanded. "Get us the fuck out of here."

Nirun did nothing. That angered the leader.

He had consumed so much Spark and it flowed through him, like fire flowing through his veins. In anger, he reached out to Nirun to turn him into stone.

However, before he could touch Nirun, a hand grabbed his wrist, stopping him just a sliver away from Nirun's skin.

The leader looked to the side and saw Ning, thinking that he was no one important but just some soldier who had managed to slip through. He twisted his palm and touched Ning's arm, using the power on him.

The power of Spark flowed out of him and into the hand that touched him. He didn't make him stone like he did everyone though. He wanted to be more violent.

He made the hand turn into air, both to make the man disappear from here and to get his hands free.

However, to the man's surprise, that didn't happen at all. Ning did not turn into air at all.

"What? How could that—"

"Did you really forget me that easily?" Ning asked. "After I threw the equivalent of a wrecking ball into your world?"

The leader looked at Ning. "Who are y-"

His eyes widened. The uniform had made it hard to recognize him, but hearing his voice made him remember. This was the man who had come to them with the power to turn anything into

Dust.

He was the man that he had killed just a week ago.

So... how was he still alive?
