Devil Sea

Arc 4

==========

~~~Granny Bai's home~~~

The half destroyed kingdom was in a state of chaos and the news quickly spread throughout the continent.

The rulers of Estil kingdom were furiously searching for the cause or for the people who were behind the destruction.

In a wooden house , a beautiful woman lays under the blanket as a granny sat beside her.

GBai-"Dear Leila... why won't you wake up.."

Granny Bai held Leila hands as she shed tears

~~~Whal Station~~~

Booooooooom

??-"Haaaa , run!"

??-"Mommy! Daddy!"

The Accual citizen were screaming and running as the explosion shook the Whal station.

Neo looked at Sven and nodded.

Sven held Yeevia by her clothes with his teeth and ran toward the other end of the station.

Yeevia-"Huh , Neo , aren't you coming? Waiiiiiiit!"

Yeevia screamed for Neo as Sven got further away.

??-"We are the Noctune pirates! Run away now or die , get in our way and die!"

The loud voice echoed through the hall.

Neo look back at the crowd and ran to the explosion area.

Upon arriving , he notice a group of green hooded robes that were carrying a wooden box onto a weird looking dark wooden boat with some hostage right below the boat.

??-"Move the crates faster , we have to return before grand master wakes up!"

The Accuals pick up pace as they stole some supplies from the Whal station.

Neo was hiding behind a wall and as soon he was about to go help the hostage , a man wielding a big cleaver pats his head.

??-"Huf...huff... teacher.. you don't have to safe them.. we can just take our ride and leave now.."

Said the fellow who was running out of breath behind the cleaver wielding man.

??-"Kid , it's dangerous , let me take care of this"

Neo slowly nodded as he look at the big cleaver.

The man quickly ran toward the green hooded robes as he held out his cleaver in his right hand.

The Accual who stood on the boat noticed him right away and as soon he open his mouth , the cleaver sent flying , split his head into half.

The blood rain down on the other criminals as they load the boat.

The man quickly jumps really high and held out his hand to grab his cleaver.

??-"Huh... what is this?"

The green hooded Accuals look up and notice a man wielding a cleaver , falling coming down on them.

Zinnng

The man slash his cleaver so fast that the hooded people couldn't feel any pain.

??-"What the.. did he miss?"

The robe man took a step and suddenly his body felt apart , pieces by pieces.

The others green robes started to run away from the cleaver man , most of them ran toward their boat that was filling the hole.

??-"Hurry , hurry back to the boat!"

The 16 remaining green robes quickly climbed on their boat while the cleaver man gave no chase and walks away slowly.

Neo-"Wooah.."

??-"Mhmm mhmm , that's my teacher for you"

Neo turns around as he remember that a young fellow was running behind the cleaver man.

Neo stared at him with a weird expression

??-"Ah , excuse my rudeness , my name is Alax Kohn , son of the duke Kohn of Baoluo"

Alax said in a kind manner as he bowed his head slightly.

Neo did the same and said

Neo-"Nice to meet you Mr.Alax , my name is Neo , Neo Ange"

Neo addressed Alax as Mr because he is obviously older than him , roughly between 17 or 19.

Alax-"Mhmm nice to meet you Neo , you can just call me Alax and that"

Alax pointed at the cleaver man

Alax-"It's my teacher Jae , he is the best swordsman in Baoluo hmmp"

Jae freed the hostages and walks toward Neo

As Alax brags about his teacher , Jae did not bother paying attention to the praises and look at Neo

Jae-"Kid , it's good to be brave but , it's also good to know when to retreat"

As Jae spoke , he walks away , followed by his student , Alax.

Alax-"Teacher , who were those people?"

Jae-"They were the Noctune pirates "

Alax nodded and replied

Alax-"Noctune..? I was sure that they only attack during the dark times"

Jae-"Probably because they have a new organization backing them up now"

Alax surprised as he listened

Alax-"A new organization!? Who are they?"

Jae-"I don't know but...I hope it's not the Slayers...I will have to report this to your father"

Alax-"Slayers?..*Who are they*"

As Jae and Alax spoke , Neo was following them from the behind since they had the same destination.

Neo-"*The Slayers....? How?*"

Alax look back and notice Neo looking at the ground as he walk

Alax-"Hehe Neo , are you following teacher because of his amazing skills? Just so you know , teacher doesn't take any disciple , only the skilled ones , like me hehe"

Neo shook his head and then suddenly , many soldiers arrived at the explosion scenes , running past Neo and Alax

Soldiers-"We have arrived !Everyone ! you are now safe"

The soldiers shout as they ran while the green hooded ones had hard times pulling away their boat because of the suction force created by the water and the empty space.

??-"Damn it! At this rate we will be caught!"

??-"Those Slayers... we shouldn't of listened to them"

Jae-"Hmmp.. they sure took their times"

As Neo arrived close to the blue coral gate , Sven stood there beside Haleen , Phalem and Yeevia.

Yeevia-"Neo!!!"

Yeevia who waited with her family , ran toward Neo as she cries and hugs him.

Yeevia-"Sniff Neo... why did you stay behind... it was dangerous"

Neo pats her hair as she cried on his neck.

Phalem and Haleen bowed slightly as a greeting as Alax and Jae walk pass by them.

Phalem and Haleen than quickly ran toward Neo as they were worried for him.

Phalem-"Neo.. I know you are strong but... please try not to get in danger... if you are exposed to the Depth water , it would be bad for you.."

Haleen nodded as she held Yeevia and Neo.

Neo-"Mhmm.. sorry to worry you all * Slayers..my key to the surface!*"
