The Rescue Mission

"Sh!t, Behind us!!!!" Liam Screamed at the top of his lungs.

There was a huge monster just behind. Monster lifts its arm in the air. Its claws were quite terrifying. My body literally froze at that point. Its claws were about to hit me but suddenly a black beam of light suddenly appeared for a split second and the entire monster got split into two halves.

"What...WHAT THE HELL" I shouted.

"What was that thing and what just happened here? Liam. Liam where... sh!t don't tell me" A shiver ran down my spine. Suddenly someone who was beside me disappeared without a trace.

"That was crazy! " It was Liam's voice.

I looked around and found out that he was on a rooftop. He would have teleported there via sensing danger.

"Hay what are you doing there? " I asked.

"I opened a portal instinctively to save my butt obviously, I don't wanna get crushed in such a horrible way, You know what I mean" He replied.

"I already knew that much, what I am asking is. Why didn't you take me with you? I would have just died right now." I asked the obvious.

"I don't know maybe I forgot about you. As I said I acted on my instinct." He justified himself.

"Hay quit chatting and get to safety already. I just risked my life to save your butts and now you are risking it again. Who do you think I am? A God or your mother who is going to protect you all the time." A woman full of complaints marched toward me from the same direction as the monster.

She came close to me and I noticed that the left side of her armour was completely destroyed. Her arm was covered in wounds and scratches. The left side of her chest plate was almost destroyed as well.

"We are reinforcements. Didn't you recognise us Akari" It Looked like Liam knew her.

"I am here to retreat Dohyun's squad do you know where they are exactly," Liam asked.

Akari pointed her figure towards a far-off building.

"Thanks, and he is your caretaker by the way." Liam laughed and disappeared.

"Tsk... whatever " Akari looked disappointed.

"Hay Mister, are you a rookie? I have seen anyone like you so far in the Kamakshi." She asked rudely.

"Well yes. I think so." I replied. ("Geez.. are what's with the attitude little miss.") I thought.

Liam came out of a portal near the building Akari pointed at.

"Is everyone alive...." Liam stopped mid-way through his sentence.

"Well, I would prefer if you don't point those guns at me. I am your superior. I hope you understand what I mean" Liam completed his sentence.

"Sorry about that." Everyone pulled back their guns.

"I am here to retreat you all. I hope you guys are not badly injured." Liam asked.

"No, not at all. But Iqbal has used up almost all of his mana reserves. We are almost out of ammunition as well " Dohyun replied.

"Good now let's regroup with the others," Liam suggested.

"Right!" All three of them agreed.

Liam opend a portal and one by one all three of them entered and came out the other side. On the other side, Rakesh was doing some minimum first aid to Akari. Her entire left side of the body was covered in her own blood but now it was covered all over with the bandages. Rakesh was cleaning her left knee injury with come clean cloth and disinfectant.

"Ouch... Ouch... Hay, you said it will only hurt a little." Akari shouted. No, it was more like a scream.

"Yeah, it was supposed to but I also said to have patience and no matter what happens don't move. Did you follow any of that?" I asked with an annoyed tone.

"Then please don't be quick. It hurts like hell. How strong is that disinfectant of yours ?" Akari asked.

"Normal I guess, I mean this is what we usually use in our country" I replied.

"Tsujo wa (Normally) ?" Akari asked.

"Haan... what ?" I was confused because I didn't know Japanese.

"Nothing I was just surprised after hearing that this abnormally strong disinfectant is most commonly used in your country," Akari replied.

"Looks like you got beaten up pretty badly. Sorry, we were useless out there." A Korean man spoke to Akari.

"Mention not. If this is what you call Nemesis then it is a huge pain in the a$$" Akari replied.

"Wait was this phase 2 of nemesis? Bioweapons? If she would have said so I am sure I would have never believed it kind of bullish*t. I mean look at them they look alien themselves. Wait if they are not aliens then are those humans?" I thought to myself and a shiver ran down my spine. The shock was such that I froze at the point where I was supposed to wrap the bandages around her knee.

"Hay...Hay... what the hell are you doing.... Stop you baka...." Akari cried in pain.

"Wait what is happening here? Everything was fine just now." Liam spoke from behind.

"Haan... what ooh I am sorry I wrapped it a little too tight" Liam's voice brings me back to my senses.

Apparently, the whole time I was in shock I warped the bandage so hard that her veins got choked. Everyone was thinking that I was a doctor because of the entire treatment I have done on her whole upper body and therefore didn't say a word even tho they saw what happened.

"What do you mean by a little? Is this look little to you." Akari complained.

"I am sorry," I replied.

"Now then that's that, have you guys completed the task you suppose to do," Liam asked those three guys.

"Yes, we have. " One of them replied. He looked like their leader. so I assumed that he was Dohyun. He gave his bag to Liam.

"Good" Liam looked inside are replied. His face was filled with joy as soon as he opened the bag. Like he found a treasure.

"Let's head back now," Liam ordered.

"Right" Dohyun replied.

"Hay Rakesh catch" Liam threw a book towards me.

"woh.." I lean forward to catch the book.

"What is this? "I asked.

"It's just an ordinary book can't you tell " He chuckled a bit.

" Just a book haan. I highly doubt that. I mean there is nothing ordinary these days. " I look at the book and then toward the corpses.

I was in the middle of MBBS. Maybe therefore I was not vomiting otherwise any ordinary man would have vomited at this horrifying sight.

"I have done multiple operations during my practice section with bodies so I am used to it but these guys are not even showing any weakness. Are there guys used to this? or am I the only one like this" I thought to myself?

While thinking about all this I subconsciously opened the book. Suddenly the letters of the book started glowing and started peeling off the book. They all created a circle on my head like a crown. Then suddenly my head started to hurt. The letters disappear from my head and the book as well.

"Aah... What the hell.... What have you done to me..." I was on my knees shouting.

"This is a grimoire. A low-grade grimoire. The spell it contains. I mean was containing was [TRANSLATE]" Liam said.

The headache soon wore off.

"Ok, so what's the big idea? I mean what are you trying to accomplish here ?" I stood up and asked.

"Well, I thought that you should breathe some open air," Liam said.

"And what do you mean by that,?" I asked.

"What I mean is you are supposed to take care of Akari until she recovers," Liam said.

"But why? Can't we take her to base?" I asked

"No, I have some work to do. Liam sends me to my hometown." Akari asked.

"Heard her, she is having a lot going on in her life you better follow your superior" A man spoke up (He was Iqbal).

"Ooh, I think you don't know who they are right? So this Guy is Iqbal, these two are Dohyun and Donghyun. " Liam said.

"Guess my guess was right. That man is indeed Dohyun. I mean both brothers look the same. it's hard to differentiate." I thought to myself.

"Let me tell you one thing kid. The women you are in charge of is quite reckless. She would jump in action even if she is outnumbered. The best example you see is here." Iqbal said.

"Hay I know what I am capable of. If I was not here then all 3 of you would have killed in action." Akari replied.

"Why do you think she was the only one who arrived in the name of reinforcement? " Liam supported Akari.

"Wait, I am not sure but if she was the one who saved their butts then she soloed all the nemesis here. If I have to count the exact number if the corpses then it would definitely be more than 100. Who strong is she exactly?" I thought to myself.

"Now that concludes it. Now Rakesh go with Akari and ensure her health. Meanwhile, all three of you are coming with me." Liam ordered.

"Wait that's it. I mean this was our rescue mission was this much only " I asked.

"Well yes, what did you expect that your first mission would be full of action." Liam laughed and said.

"Well, I would have gone that way if we have arrive a few minutes earlier. This could have been a good experience for him." Liam thought to himself.

"Ok, time to move out," Liam ordered and opened a portal.

"Are you able to walk by yourself?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. There is no problem." Akari replied

"Ok, let's get going," I said and helped her stand up.

"Seems like the grimoire is working," Dohyun spoke.

"What ?" I asked.

"Well she replied in Japanese and you didn't seam confused " Donghyun spoke.

"Really?" I asked in surprise.

"Hay I won't be able to open this portal for forever now my mana is draining away as crazy" Liam shouted.

After hearing that we both entered the portal and came out the other side.

"Came out inside my apparent haan, " Akari said.

"Wait this is your place ?" I asked.

"Well yes, welcome to Japan." Akari sat on the sofa and said.
