Chapter 134: Countdown (10), Dark Hearts
The public murmured after hearing Aleron's words and saw him and the old man closing their
eyes.
"I wonder what she has done?"
"Do you believe in him?"
Suddenly, Xorgs arrived and started throwing people on the ground that they'd captured-all with red and black marks.
The public moved even more far away from the central square, making a space as people started forming a pile.
"Uncle!" a young man from the crowd shouted. "W-Why? He is just a normal worker in the guild...."
"He must have done something bad, humph."
"You believe in this?"
"It doesn't matter if we believe or not because he...he doesn't care about that."
As many people were looking at Aleron and the old man, they saw their expression changing.
The old man started turning pale while Aleron's aura turned volatile, his expression turning scarily wrathful.
"Damn! What is he seeing that causes him to make that face?"
"The old man...he looks like he might die anytime now."
Suddenly, Aleron also opened his eyes, bloodshot and angry while the old man fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes trembling as he muttered, "T-That time when she saved me in that forest...she..."
'Fucking psychopath!' Aleron took a deep breath before his eyes glinted and he checked his Monitor Dome. He focused on a particular forest near the city, the same one where the old man was saved by Amelia over sixty years ago.
Xorgs were still bringing in people from all over the city. Although this city was not as populous as Nailzim city, it still housed over twenty million people. Even if 1% of them were red and above marked, that still numbered over 20k, but unfortunately, the percentage was 4% of red and black marks.
Despite being the so-called holy place, it was still riddled with corruption and sins because ultimately....it was run by people and people's hearts had seven emotions and desires that if not reined in, would hurt the innocents.
"These people will be handled by the authority of this city," Aleron said as he floated up. "As of this moment, there is no one bad enough for me to punish anymore."
Aleron's lips curved into a smile, one that was not warm, but also not cold, "Let's make sure it stays that way right?"
After saying that, he floated up high in the sky and waved his hand, consuming Magilore unrestrainedly while creating a vast metal platform in the sky above the city to enact one last
grand move.
Looking at the countdown he nodded, 'We barely spent nine minutes here so far. Good.'
[3 hours 19 minutes...]
[Aleron: Rias, you are known in this city, so tell them about me and handle the church. I will talk in a bit more detail after I am done finishing this last work.]
While people were confused and wondered what Aleron was doing in the sky creating that huge platform, Rias and Roxen arrived in the square.
Powerhouses of Exceed-rank and two Primeval-rank of the Lightdusk Academy also arrived. They had departed after feeling the energy ripplings of the battle since the distance between Goddess Church and Academy was only fifty kilometers.
After meeting up with Rias, they handled the twenty-five thousand people that Aleron left in the city with the city enforcement.
At the square, Rias and Kadita floated a hundred meters above to oversee the city and direct
the workflow.
"What is he doing by creating such a vast platform?" Kadita asked with a frown as she looked at the platform above. She couldn't see Aleron anymore since he was above the platform. She could see the Xorgs though, as they floated at the borders of the platform.
"I don't know," Rias shook his head and sighed. "But all I know is that he is doing it for the good of all of us. Teacher, you don't know what kind of trouble he is going to face even though he almost died in the demonic continent some hours ago and just recovered." "But he is still relentless in the pursuit of his goals and his ambition that no other dare to have," Her eyes sparkled as she added, "We are fortunate to have him, you know?"
Kadita wryly smiled.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
