Chapter 245 The New (Intro)



"Well done. You fought well." Balam tapped Absalom's shoulder.

"Absalom, are you okay?" Ryou ran to him as he lay down in the tunnel where they were taking refuge.

"Yes...I will be fine." He responded.

Kaiser watched from behind and couldn't stop thinking about all that has been happening since he stepped into this place, he wondered if he will ever be able to forget.

"It seems they have gone. But here comes the worst part." Balam said looking down.

Absalom looked left and right at the sorry state of the heroes and humans all around him. All of them had lost their dust, when the archons retrieved them in order to fight the angels, although that was useless in the end as they still met their end.

"What will we do... now that what makes us heroes is gone, some of them have not even recovered from dealing with the situation but our world seems to be dying. What shall we do?" Amber Rose asked, walking up to Balam and Absalom.

"What about Mr. Raith?" She added to her questions.

Balam and Absalom exchanged glances at each other.

"Raith is definitely alive. I can feel his energy, but it is so minute, as though he is in a near-death state." Absalom spoke slowly. He was trying his best, it was a miracle that he could still speak.

"Then shouldn't we be going to rescue him right now?!!" Amber Rose interjected losing her composure.

"I can't..." Absalom heaved a heavy sigh, "I can't find his location. It's like he's here but I can't tell."

"What does that even mean?" She glared at him with a distorted face.

"I don't know..." Absalom replied, coughing black blood.

"Let him be, for now. We will focus on looking for a way to save your people."

Ssshhh

Balam swung his face back, towards the darkness of the tunnel.

'I feel a sinister but familiar aura...'

"It is I, Antares."

"The ant! You were with Mr. Raith, right?" She shouted at him.

Antares narrowed his eyes and glared at her. Ignoring her and facing Balam.

"For now, it will be safe to keep the human in the Necropolis world"

"Necropolis world?"

"We, the death soldiers have rebuilt the dark realm thay exists in the abyss and have named it the Necropolis world," Antares explained and stretched his hand.

A large black wormhole like a gate appeared.

"You can enter."

Balam moved closer to him, "what about him."

"My king is..." he paused and frowned, "I have no obligations to tell you." He said and walked forward, helping the humans into the Necropolis world.

All around the world of Therut, Raith's army distributed themselves and began to help every single human into the Necropolis world, as a means to preserve them while their world remained.

Crack

The space where Raith was put began to crack. Immediately, Kortopi who was standing guard there swung his face to the area. His eyes widened with joy and he darted to that point, falling to his knee with his head raised and eyes squirming as though he would cry any moment.

Crack

The Crack continued to expand and finally, a leg came out of the subspace gently touching the ground, Raith pulled himself out of it and stumbled like a baby trying to walk.

But Kortopi quickly rose and helped him. His body was slimy, as though he had bathed with the fluid of some slimy octopus but they were all waste extraction from the reconstruction process.

In fact, his face was shining and he seemed more handsome, taller, and more athletic than he already was, his hair was black too.

"I'll be in your care Kortopi."

Kortopi's eyes widened as he heard Raith say his name. His widened eyes narrowed immediately and piggyback Raith and ran into the black wormhole that was up ahead.

***

Meanwhile...

Cor-Ellion paused as he landed on the soil of his home, he looked back gritting his teeth. His face was adorned with fury, it was the angriest and the ugliest he had been since he was born.

Since he had never had someone break through his space-time loop ever since he was born.

He exhaled slowly getting rid of the anger and walked forward saying.

"We will meet again human."

Surely, he couldn't wait to destroy his hope once again.

***

Absalom's eyes widened and he shot up from his sleep–however, immediately a jolt of pain permeated his whole body and made him shout.

"Absalom!" Ryou yelled as he barged in upon hearing Absalom's scream.

Where they could be likened to a medieval-era inn that was ruled by eternal darkness.

"Raith, Raith, he's here." He said panting.

Kaiser who had also entered heard him clearly, he stormed out of the place looking for where Raith might be. But there was nothing he could find.

The place was filled with dark soldiers either in groups of one or two or, just doing normal walking in a particular direction.

"Damnit..."

"What is it human?" Balam asked, just arriving at the inn after he had finished helping with the rescue of humans in Therut.

"Absalom, he said hunter Raven is here?" Kaiser threw the demon a second glance, belatedly wondering if Balam knew he was talking about Raith. "Raith." He added.

Balam's eyes narrowed and he shot into the sky, Kaiser followed immediately.

The two of them arrived at a temple that was heavily guarded by the best of the death soldiers and wyverns.

Thud

Thud

Thud

Crimson, Antares and Jarvis arrived too and stormed into the golden temple but they were not allowed.

The soldiers looked at Balam and looked at each other, belatedly realizing the guy that fought Raith but paid allegiance to him they stepped away from the road but still stopped Kaiser from entering.
