Vhala(2)

Everyone was stunned at the statement made by Liora, One of the participants muttered, "V-Vhala, y-you mean, Vhala for 10 years ago", Liora heard this statement clearly and with a smirk and an evil-looking face, she responded, "Yes, Vhala, the Serpent of Disaster"

Vhala was serpent with the appearance of a dragon due to its massive dragon-like horns, and a massive one, its length stretched long enough to cover an entire city, Its size of Titanoba, the extinct snake, Vhala was regarded as a global threat as he ravaged through countless countries, destroying 1 and others barely defending against his attack, his scales where the toughest there ever was dismissing guns, missiles and even nukes like it was nothing, though nukes did cause a bit of damage to him. It 10 million hunters worldwide to kill Vhala with only 100 survivors, 5 which are ranked top in the world, Vhala was defeated by the chaos and Horror he caused was engraved in everyone's mind. The total deaths of hunters and Civilians outreached 100 million with no precise count even till this day.

Ares felt a wave of memories coming across him. Memories of his mother being devoured by Vhala in front of him, the last words from his mother as Vhala gripped unto her body with this sharp teeth gaping a hole in chest.

"A-Ares, live a good life"

Ares remembered and has always tried to forget but the word of Vhala was a trigger for all the memories to flood into him. He shakes uncontrollably, almost crying but holds himself, with little sounds of sniffs and sobs, The Guy in the left notices this, putting his hand on Ares back, he tries to calm him down.

Liora continues her explanation

"As you know in the disaster ten years ago caused by Vhala with the countless deaths and casualties sustained, Vhala was finally defeated by the top 5 in the world"

Everyone weren't surprised as they knew, some were still trembling not focusing on her talks.

"After Vhala's death, his Mana core was split apart and given to the top 5 with his corpse given to the government for safe-keeping". She paused and continued.

"Along researching Vhala, we were able to find quite some interesting things, his scales were ten times stronger than titanium, his venom could be classified as the most lethal and corrosive substance on planet earth and lastly, his heart core is what we like to call it", Liora pointed to the core.

"Unlike your regular mana core, Vhala's heart core was different. The power it had was different to our concept of mana with similar properties and highly unstable, we decided to call it Mana Force"

Light murmurs started forming.

"Mana force, what kind of name is th-"

AHEM!

Liora immediately silenced the murmurs.

"Mana force is concept that uses mana itself, Regular Mana produced in the body can only be usable if converted into elements (Fire, water, earth and wind) or be used with equipment"

"However, for Mana force, that isn't the case", She suddenly raises her hand forward in the direction of the participants with a simple chant.

Wind Flow.

Wind blew across the entire room, catching them off-guard, Ares slightly closed his eyes and pushed his hands against the oppressive wind, managing to create a barrier. He looked up and was astonished, Wind that would have been impossible to see and radiating a blue color. Many also saw this with the same expression and astonishment as he was.

Moments later, the Wind finally stopped, It messed up some people's hair and rumpled their white uniform, The Superiors at the back were not safe either, Kendrick rumpled hair along with his expression made him look like a mad scientist, Amelia hair had twists and turns.

"Hey, what was that", Kendrick complained angrily. Liora turned her head to Kendrick's direction, "Wanted to show them a little demonstration", the dark blue-haired superior also commented, "That little demonstration rumpled my hair".

Liora expression grew cold and with her eyes glowing, "Maybe I should go with a different type, Hmm"

Kendrick and the Dark-haired guy flinched at her statement, keeping their mouths shut but still pouted.

Liora sighed and turned to the participants, "You all will be inserted a fragment of the Heart Core into your heart as that is the only way to use this, if you reject, Of course you will be free to go". Her glowed once again, "Its just not the place where you would be going", at this point, everyone was getting used to this, even Ares almost died to one of them but still fear lingered in their heart, they knew any mistake made under their watch would result to an immediate death, no pleas, no forgiveness, Just Death.

"Now that we have already introduced this concept to you all", She snapped her fingers once again and gas released from every corner, blinding everyone.

"Damn it, not again", one of them said

'These Motherfuckers', Ares gritted his teeth as he slowly faded out of consciousness. His head fell onto the guy in the right who also fainted. Even the arrogant one snored peacefully, right next to the arrogant one, Nia sighed in relief as he looked towards the arrogant one.

'This idiot needs to be killed', Nia clenched her fists holding herself back from punching him in the face. "I wouldn't do that if I were you", Liora said as she appeared standing on one of the participants shoulders who was peacefully sleeping. She gazed down at Nia, filled with Hostility.

"It's been a long time, Old friend"

Nia glared back at her

"Hello, little Liora"

Liora hostility grew even further, "Its Superior Liora to you, why are you even here".

Nia rolled back her eyes and scoffed, "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say", Nia turned away from her trying to find Ares, Liora noticed this, "Hey, don't turn away from your superior". Suddenly hundreds of soldiers came into the hall standing at the back making multiple lines, they looked buffed and wore a grey and black military uniform with a red band strapped onto their right hand, they salute and all chant together, "Superior, waiting for your command", Liora's attention get diverted to the soldiers.

"Good, take them all to the ward room"

"Yes Superior Liora", they proceed, each of them carrying one and two carrying the fat guys. Liora stares at them for a while before turning to Nia who had already gone.

Huh

Liora frantically looks around but with hundreds of soldiers made it difficult, she spots Nia who was behind a soldier who was carrying Ares. The soldiers was trembling heavily as Nia cast a watchful gaze upon him. Liora immediately runs up to her.

"What the hell are you doing, you're scaring the soldier", the soldier immediately takes this opportunity and walks faster entering the massive door.

Nia immediately glares at Liora with a frightening yet neutral gaze, "What's your problem".

Liora glares back at her, "How dare you talk to your superior like that", Nia and Liora get heated up ready to battle, they both clench their fist, bring back their hand.

Suddenly, a pressure comes forward, they feel it and know what it was. Immediately, Liora goes down on one knee to a particular figure.

"Superior Liora greets General Brown", Brown walked and stopped In front of Liora with two soldiers behind him and the rest of the Superiors on another side, "It's good to see you again Liora".

She gives a light smile, "Yes sir, it's good". Feeling like this is good to answer her question, she asks brown, "Forgive me for saying this General Brown but-", she turns her head to Nia. "Why is she here?"

Brown face remains neutral and pauses, Liora gets nervous of the long pause, she thinks she shouldn't have spoken that, but Brown replies, "She's here because i asked her to", Liora was surprised by his statement.

Asked, Brown never asks, he order, she tries to bring a statement, but brown stops her as he says, "She'll be joining you throughout this experiment",

"But General Brown, She-", Brown's eye glowed intensifying the pressure in the room, all went on their knees, the Superiors, Kendrick, Nia and Liora, the soldiers already passed out.

"Liora, there are matters you shouldn't pry on, Understood"

"Y-Yes S-Sir, F-F-Forgive me"

The pressure stopped and brown turns around returning back, He looks at Nia and Nods, Nia does the same, Liora notices this and grits her teeth, clenching her fist and trembling uncontrollably.

One thought went into her head, Revenge, she wants payback on Nia.

'NIA'.
