Dark Breeds on the move

Swish! Bang!

Rumble!

Ban bounced back from the giant wall of his sect from the impact. The tremor caused a commotion in the whole Sect. Everyone panicked thinking there was a militart activity in their area.

Fortunately, Ban lessen the impact by a notch using his sheer strength. It was a moment of adrenaline since Ariana restricted his body until he was a few meters away from the sect wall.

After assuring the sect guards where he stood from the crater, he planned to head in another direction.

His face showed a little gloom. Not because of what Ariana did to him or anything related to the sect.

"Dark Breeds..."

Ban muttered under his breath as he floated in the air. Looking to every direction, his expression got annoyed.

When he was blasted by Ariana back to his sect, Ban sensed some familiar auras within his country. After confirming they were indeed Dark Breed minions, he became alerted again.

That is because, these minions were scattered in the dark in every city he passed by. That includes his city.

"Who!?"

Just as about to investigate, his body went alert as he sensed someone dangerous watching at him in the dark.

Ban immediately scanned the surroundings for potential enemies. Then, he saw an old man wearing a standard guard uniform standing outside of the sect gate. Under the invisible formation, the old man seemed to view every part of the sect. His aged face still showed indifference and sleepiness as if he wasn't intimidated by the clashing dragon and phoenix at the gate.

The bald old man stared at Ban for a second before glancing back at the gate again as if he was pondering about the engravings of the gate.

"Senior... You're here.."

Ban showed a respectful attitude when he approached the old man. He knew the old man named Sven was out of ordinary since he first met him. He was wondering why the old man was in front of his sect so soon though.

"The Capital is a little bit.... well, too noisy... because of your doing..." The bald old man muttered lazily as he squinted his eyes at Ban.

"*Cough! That... I apologize for my deed, senior. I never expected that event caused much commotion in the Capital." Ban scratched the back of his head sensing the irritation of the old man's tone.

The commotion he caused from the capital led the government into disarray. Even Special Abilities Bureau are no exception. It especially involves the missing family members of the prominent families during the demon beasts event.

Now, nearby cities are on total lockdown after the executive order of the highest government for fearing another similar accidents might happen again

After all, the Capital got attacked twice in a row that made the higher ups of the government alarmed. Destroying the Capital city is as good as breaking down the strongest pillar of the country that leads to immediate fall of the nation.

"Senior can stay in my sect if senior wants to. There are many facilities around that senior may take a fancy to. Like a guard of an apartment building?"

Ban knew the old man went to his place for a long term visit. That is also his goal but, he knew nothing about the latter's aim.

Maybe only for experiencing a commoner's life or something. Ban never knows at the moment. He only knew that the bald old man have no ill intent towards him or everyone.

At least he could befriend a old man with mysterious origin.

"I don't like too much noise.." Old Sven pondered for a while before he squinted his eyes at Ban and continued, "Go do your business, kid. Don't mind me. I'll just look around."

With that, old Sven disappeared after saying his piece.

Ban already knew that old Sven was touring inside his sect. Sensing the old man showing interest in his library building, he was a bit in relief and prepared to go away.

After reminding Annie and her colleagues about the new visitor, Ban headed to the South where Fern city was located.

Ban found out that the attack on Capital was just the beginning. He sensed that all the cities surrounding Capital was also infiltrated by Dark Breed minions and was brewing the same method of attack.

Floating in the bustling Fern city, Ban found it odd that the city hadn't been invaded by those cannibal monsters. So he decided to scan again thoroughly to make sure nothing abnormal to this city.

As for getting rid of them, Ban already noticed their ploy, so it will be easy for him to stop their attacks before something bad will happen to every city.

Those Dark Breeds were in passive. It was as if they are waiting for something, maybe a cue from their higher ups or something else.

Juat then, Ban noticed a shadowy figure he guessed to be a Dark Breed member entering the vicinity of Fern city at the speed that surpasses every member he encountered before.

Ban eyes' light up and figured that this person is the one he's been looking for. Judging by the target's speed and power, he should be one of the higher ups of the Dark Breed organization.

Just as he was about to subdue the target, he sensed another figure was chasing the Dark Breed member since the pursuer was chasing openly.

"A guy from Eru continent?"

Ban concluded that the pursuer was a foreigner judging by his barbarian looking stature from another country. Especially the man wasn't wearing any top just like a gladiator warrior with buffed muscles.

This man picked the interest of Ban. That's because the gladiator like person was at 19th Order of Enchant, almost at the very peak of Divergent class.

...

Swish!

"Hey! Wait up!" Shouted the gladiator man with his loud voice.

"..."

The black hooded figure grunted before stopping in a land full of sugar cane crops. He glanced at the gladiator man in annoyance with his blood crimson eyes. Even though the man who chased him was dangerous, he remained indifferent nonetheless as he remained on guard.

"You.. I'm having the vibes that you are like those people I've encountered before."

The gladiator man noticed something familiar from the way the black hooded figure stared back at him.

His eyes showed excitement as if he was meeting an old friend. He grinned and said,

"Finally, I could use a good warm up before meeting those people."

*End of chapter*

Hello Mina-san! Moonbang here!

My apologies for not posting chapters these past few months.

It happens that my motivation on writing chapters was lost due to a certain reason.

Yeah. Unfortunate happens in my family due to covid and I'm trying to recover from these sad days for a year now.

That is why I paused the status of this novel. Believing that I can continue it someday.

I'm pretty much in good condition to write now, but in slow pace. It will eventually catch up to the previous fast pace.

P.S. Please don't expect my novel to be a good one. It's only a hobby. There are many errors and the plots are poor.

Cheers!
