Chapter 113: The Trip [2]



***

Amon stepped out of his home. It was finally the day of the trip.

He bid farewell to Katherine and Lily for the last time.

The next time he would see them would be one week later.

He was wearing a pitch-black overcoat with a black turtleneck right now.

Along with blue jeans and white sneakers. Though he was wearing too much black, he didn't mind it.

It was his favorite color. And black was also a good absorber of heat so that was good for him. Heading to the entrance gates, Amon found his whole class assembled at the gates.

He looked at his watch. It was early 8 in the morning.

The students rushed here and there, trying to find their pair.

Amon looked at his watch, confirming his pair one last time.

They had already confirmed a meeting point so Amon was currently waiting for her to arrive.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before she came.

"Good Morning." He heard a crisp, elegant voice from behind.

Turning around, Amon saw Alya standing with a slight smile.

She was dressed in a thick brown coat with a white turtleneck and brown winter boots. He nodded.

"Greetings, Alya." He greeted in a casual tone.

Yes, over the week, except Liliana, all of them had gotten along well and started to converse casually with each other.

They still weren't at the point of being close friends but it was a good in their friendship.

Ren and Liliana could often be seen beefing with each other.

Nevertheless, all of them were getting along well.

Amon was satisfied. This was his main goal all along and the only reason he was following the plot.

He had to unite the back two quickly with the front four. The faster he did, the better.

And fortunately, he did it long before they actually got together.

The person who had asked Arthur to do this was actually him.

He asked for this favor for beating Daniel and the man easily agreed.

He didn't care about rules or ranks so there wasn't any problem on his part.

A cold wind passed through their area, making Amon's hair fly.

It was early September and the start of Autumn.

The cold was starting to kick in, even at the academy.

He looked at the clear grey sky.

'I still miss her, if only she was here...' It had been 2 weeks since Zephyra ever appeared.

He felt nostalgic looking at this clear grey sky.

He almost used to see this with her when heading out of home with her.

Amon really missed her.

Focusing his attention back to Alya, he suggested.

"Shall we go?" He asked and she nodded.

Yes, she was his partner for this trip.

Though it was someone else in the novel, he didn't particularly care.

Fuck the plotline now. If he didn't intend to follow it before, he couldn't even do it now. Amon literally remembered nothing about what would happen in this arc.

He shrugged internally, He would just make his own plot now that they were all together.

They arrived in a large space near the entrance gates, they were all standing there. Murmurs and talks kept breaking out between kids.

"Hey!"

In the next moment, all of them disappeared.

***

Amon opened his eyes, and found himself standing at the end of the crowd which was now

standing in front of large medieval gates.

They were the gates of the town nearby the research institute.

A chilling wind passed through the area, making everyone shudder.

The whole area was blanketed in snow, showing how cold it was.

Inside, the town was bustling with activity as everyone headed to their daily jobs with some

of them welcoming the students.

Everyone started to move forward, following Athena.

Alya also moved forward, throwing him a glance with a smile.

"Let's go." She reminded him.

Nodding, he stepped forward.

However, suddenly, his vision blurred and glitched.

The purple cracks shone through his bandages.

Fortunately, they weren't seen by Alya because of the overcoat sleeves.

Amon massaged his temples as his head throbbed with a terrifying pain.

His vision blurred and his surroundings changed as they turned completely dark.

Fast visions started to pass through his eyes as he heard various voices inside his head.

"Re-surr-ect the great god-"

He saw a group of people clad in cloaks, chanting something.

The vision changed.

"Run!"

The same cloaked people started to run from something.

Though he couldn't see what it was.

Horrifying, glitched, and muffled deep voices entered his ear as he saw flesh being torn apart

and crunched down.

It made his whole body shudder and sweat with a terrifying intensity.

An echoing and harrowing chuckle entered his ear as every hair on his body stood up.

And then, a blurring and horrifying voice entered his ears.

"I'll t-tear t-hat smile off of your face!"

His eyes widened as his body started to convulse with fear at the voice.

Before suddenly, the dark surroundings faded away and he found himself back in the area.

He was sweating buckets with his turtleneck and overcoat fully drenched in sweat.

He saw Alya looking at him with confusion and a tinge of worriedness.

However, he couldn't worry about that right now.

"Amon.." She pointed out, gesturing at his body.

"Your body..."

His eyes widened and he looked at his body.

"It's trembling."

It was. His body shivered fast and he couldn't even control it.

The voice kept echoing inside his head and he shivered more.

Amon shivered from fear.
