Now, i was heading to Uncle Turin cafes to deliver his large bulk of ground coffee.His cafe were pretty crowded as it was the time for lunch, thankfuly there's a wide space that leads right to the stockroom, of course i've got to contact Uncle Turin but he doesn't seem to answer my phone calls.So i've got no choice but comes in first then check for him myself by asking some of the employee at the cafe, there's a girl on the cashier, i probably should try asking her.
"Um.. Excuse me, i'm from Nyarlathotep Logistic.Uncle Turin was ordering 45kg of ground coffee, But i can't really reach him through phone call, is he here?"
"Ah it's Sylvester isn't it? I'm sorry but Uncle Turin is sick and he doesn't come to work today"
"I see, but i was wondering If he's sick then who orders the coffee?"
"That is-"
"Ah i'm sorry for nudging in Mary, but i will take this over.You can continue doing your stuff"
"Did you use the Uncle Turin account to order it Lambda?"
"Well of course, as his niece i've got to help him run the store right?"
"That's a pretty good reason for an undergraduate that has no money"
"O-oi! it's not like that! I mean it's the best for both world isn't it?!"
"Haha! Sorry that was a joke, i would do the same thing if i was in your position"
"But that's not the way to talk to your senior right? I was pretty chill about it, but i don't think everyone would behave the same as me"
"Yeah yeah, i was just doing this only to you"
"Is that so.."
"So, should i take the ground coffee in? I only got 1 packages left to deliver"
"Sure thing, take the good stuff in"
"Yes ma'am"
...
"Well, how is it Sylvester?"
"About what?"
"Your job of course, how does it feels like?"
"I don't know, i guess.. neutral?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean, it doesn't feel nice or bad.It depends on how you look at it"
"Then how you look at your job?"
"It's kind of cool actually, having to deal with otherworldly being that came from the skies every month and delivering packages? That's really cool"
"Oh that's kind of cool, i mean seeing that the 'Fallen Skies' could be both a imminence and a safeguard for us-"
"But it doesn't pay much unless you are dealing with those 'transported to another world' things"
"I see, it causes alot of problem when i came to this world right?"
"Of course! Do you think getting chased by a fucking pack of murder birdies is fun?"
"You call Avenex murder birdies?"
"Whatever you call that things"
She laugh carelessly for no absolute reason, i mean the birdies almost shred me to pieces when i tried to retrieve him at the Wind Turbine Plains.
"Ah, about the Fallen Skies, are you able to use your blood sorcery?"
"I thought you said that I'm going to be able to use it next month when the Fallen Skies happens again?"
"Oh right, i forget that heh?"
She cheked the coffee sack from all directions as we speak. Remythia is a world where we lived in right now, if you looked outside on the street you may see alot of people walking by right? Well, most of em are probably not even humans.Devil, Nymph, Goblin and other mythical creatures were roaming this world since the dawn of time, but how are they not in their true form? It's because the world itself allows them to have a human form, they can turns back into their original form but it's very unlikely because they prefer this form instead.
The Fallen Skies brought those 'People' here, well not just 'People" but monsters, building, books, gods and the sorcery i mentioned earlier, it happened every month, and when it happens, it's going to be really busy and kind of chaotic. And you might ask : What about you? Well, I'm just your regular human, a mortals as the god say, i don't have any special ability like flying or any kind of stuff but i at least i still had my Blood Sorcery.
"Albany's brand, 45 kg of ground coffee and it's a coarse grind, yeah that's correct"
"Well then please sign here"
I pulled out a 6 inch tablet that acts like a task thingies i guess? It's a device to manage the deliveries and signatures.
"Alright, we're done here"
"I guess so"
"Do you want to order anything? I'll pay for it"
"I mean who would decline that offer right? I'm in!"
"That's what i expected from you"
And i ended up with 2 lunch meal, it consists of a lunch burrito, a fries and a cola.As i walked to the parking the jazz tunes echoes through the hallways of the arcade, this arcade came from the another world and people called it Earth, i guess they called it Burlington Arcade before the renovation.The arcade stands beside the courthouse of Shynef, a fairly large city at Theophilus that is one of the four regions at Remythia.
Well, i'm sorry for explaining all of this all of sudden, it's just weird if i didn't say anything during this delivery right?
"Oh look, you're talking with yourself again.Why did it took so long idiot? Did you came accross a thief?"
"So i got 2 Lunch Meal, deliver the last package and i'll give you this for free"
"Deal, wait for me at the truck.Give me the trolleys"
"Damn, you're so easy to bribe Cael Cael"
"Shut up, help me unload it now"
"Alright, i guess"
...
"Thank you for your service boy"
"Don't mention it sir, just doing my works"
"Take care"
And with that i can finally get my free lunch. As i was on my way go get back to the truck, the arcade was kind of cramped and i see people running around and screaming, it was kind of rare.. Now i see exactly why they are running to the opposite direction, A light pillar appeared at the east side of the arcade.
...
"Hmhm, that's scrumptious"
As i was munching on my burrito, my phone rings, i wonder who's that?
"Sylvester here"
"Hey man, i fucked up"
"Why is that?"
"Look outside"
As i turned my head to the left, i saw a a alot of people running and decided to peek at the sky and then i saw the light pillar, it was huge, probably 8m in diameter.
"Have you called the union yet Cael?"
"Not yet, i can't do it right now"
"Why is that? Use video call please"
The video footage shows a huge lion-like creature and a wings, it looks like a Sphinx but it has a hyena head with no eyes, ear and a wide jaw, there's another head at the end of the tails, it looked pretty similar in shape with the front head and it covered the whole perimeter of it's body, I don't think we can melee it.
But the thing is, how can it see and hear something if it doesn't have an ear and eyes? It still remains a mistery until we found it out.
"Holy shit Cael, I'm sending this to the union"
[Image sent to The Union]
[You : "Please send reinforcement, we're at the Shynef Arcade"]
[Union : "Alright, we're 6 minutes away"]
With that out of the way..
[Image sent to your group : Subdivision Treeeeeee]
[You : "Cael and i was at the Shynef Arcade when we encountered this wacky thing, any idea on what's this creature was?"]
[Keith : "Damn Cael is going to die, i have no idea about that creature"]
[Maya : "Same"]
[Pon : "Shall i buy him a coffin maybe?"]
[You : "For fuck sake, be serious plz"]
[Belial : "It kind of looks like Sphinx with that gold crown thingies, but any more information to the creature Sylvester?"]
[You : "Nothing more than that"]
[Norisuke : "Well then, anyone near the Shynef Arcade? I was at the Morana right now"]
[Pon : "I was at the Office right now, pretty far from Shynef"]
[Keith : "Me either"]
[You : "Ah shit, ok thanks"]
[Maya : "Good luck idiot have fun out there"]
[You : "Thanks Maya"]
Dammit, it looks like we're going to figure it out by ourself then.
...
"Yo Sylvester! What took you so long!?"
"Shut up, i'm trying to gather some information and ended up with nothing"
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"That's great, you're so reliable"
"Okay, so until we figured out that thing ability, you're going to search for someone with a long range and imprisoning ability"
"Where the fuck am i going to find that people!?"
"If there's someone that hid inside the store, you go there and collaborate with them.Ah, to be honest just walk pass through the monster as it doesn't even have an ear and eyes"
"Easy for you to say that but i'll do it anyway, there are some people at the cafe right now.I'll try to go there"
"Just do it man, you know that you can get a alot of delivery points from this right?"
Let's see.. i'll try throwing a soda can besides me to the creature to test its senses, there's still some of the soda left.So i'll throw the can and run across to the cafe, that's my plan.
"Sylvester, i'm turning off the video"
"Wait, just put it in your pocket or something.I can't lose track of you"
"Oh right that's a good idea"
"Wait, what are you gonna do?"
"Just watch me do it"
I throwed the can and sprint across the hallway, why the fuck is the hallway so wide!? And then that thing just charges at me but misses, i guess that thing can only sense touch stimulation.Then taking him down is going to be a breeze if i found someone with the blood sorcery Sylvester talking about.
"Whoa! What was that?"
"That creature was sensitive to the touch, and it's accuracy is scary, I almost got mauled by it!"
"Yeah i can definitely see that Cael-"
"Oh it's Sylvester voice!"
"What? Who're you?"
"My name is Lambda, i'm Sylvester friends"
"Oi Lambda! Get out of there! You got no chance of surviving without your blood sorcery!"
"Well, i just figured that out"
A matchlock just appeared out of thin air on her right hand, there are a lot of water particle around them, that looks like a long ranged blood sorcery- Wait, why are you aiming it? Don't tell me-
"I'll call this Aqua Serpentine"
"Idiot! Don't shoot it yet!"
I grabbed both of her hand and redirect her right hand to the ceiling.As the Matchlock fired, i suddenly pushes her and we fell down with me on top of her, she's surprised.
'Woooo! Cliche moments baby!"
"Shut up Sloth! You better come here ASAP or we're gonna die because of you!"
"You two take down the head on it's tail first and i'll come!"
"Is he always been like this umm...Cael?"
"He may seems good and all but if you get to know him for a while, you will start to see him behave the opposite"
"I see.. and can you get off from me for a bit? I think that creature is going to do something" She pointed her finger at the creatures that is shaking its body, what was it trying to do-
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump.
"Cael! Did you feel it?"
"Of course-"
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
"Does it came from the Creature?" I helped Lambda gets up
The thumping of it's heart can be heard all the way to Sylvester location, the creature started to move more naturally, rather than reacting on something that hits it and it started to look around.
Thump
Thump
Thump
"Lambda, shot the creature tail head as i give you a signal"
"Alright-"
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump-
"Now!"
The Serpentine appeared on her right hand, she holds it with both of her hand and she shot it, a large splash of water particles appeared as a water jet cutter came out from the barrel, then i picked her up and ran to the second floor.
"What the hell! You never told me that you would pick me up!"
"That thing can definitely see and feel us right now! Do you the monster would just leave us alone if we just stand there!?"
The monster let's out a loud scream and started running at us, the head tail is still moving but it looks like it's going to dies out any moments now, maybe another shot would make it.
As we reached the 2nd floor with a ladder, the creature stop chasing us, it just stands there.
"What's it doing?"
"Shit, i think i know what is it going to do Cael"
"What?"
"If you see a glowing sphere or stuff from his mouth, you should immeditely-"
Is Sylvester secretly had a clairvoyance or something? But that might be a case as i never get to see him use his Blood Sorcery.. Now, let's focus on that bright gold sphere that creatures create from his mouth.
The sphere gets bigger in an instant, then the creatures backs off for a second and shot it into us, it looks super dangerous but i think i can still block it.
"Oi! Do you hear me Cael?!"
A pair of mechanical wings appeared with a lightning striking Cael's back, shielding Cael and Lambda from the glowing sphere, the wings was beautiful with it's blue, green and white steel feathers and a blue glows around it.
The sphere hits the wings and incinerated, the wings remain unscathed and it starts to fades away.
"Idiot! I told you to summons the wing on top of the creatures head and not on yourself!"
"How's that gonna work!?"
"It's going to hurt itself! It would be effecient"
"Huh...?"
Lambda shot the the creatures tail head i'm arguing with Sylvester, the tail head is down!
"It's really dangerous to argue in this situation right? Sylvester, come here and do what you want"
"Certainly big sister!"
"What did he just call me!?"
"He hangs up"
...
"Heck yeah! It's my turn!"
I'm glad that i brought my Kriegmesser to the truck, i've never used this sword as i just bought it 2 days ago, the seller said that it would certainly beat katana in terms of power and i can see why is that the case.
"This hilt!"
'This thick blade!"
"Truly a steal for 1299 Theia!"
As i ran through the arcade i stumbled upon a white haired girl just outside of one of the broken store on the arcade, what is she doing here!?
"Hey, what are you doing here-"
There's a weird rise on my way and it makes me trip and hit the ground!
"Ouch!"
"Ah! Are you okay?"
Upon closer looks, i realised that her hair fades from white to red at the end, a beautiful amber eyes and there's also some a red fins that resembles Axolotl on the side of her head.. That means she's an Axolotl Demi-human.
"I'm okay.. Most of all, what are you doing here?"
"When there's a ruckus in the arcade, i decided to hide on the one of the store. And i heard that someone needs a imprisoning blood sorcery so i waited there until there's someone i can talk to"
Ah, so she heard my screams that time huh.
"Well, i was the one saying that you know"
"I see, are we going to help them now?"
"Of course, Let's go!"
...
That creatures have been chasing and shooting us after that first strike! I can't even cast the shield into his face in this rapid movement, where is Sylvester now!?
"Yeah, let's go!"
"Cael! Cast it now!"
He came with someone? I thought everyone had escaped from the arcade! Did he call for backup that time? Alright, now's the time!
As the sphere has manifested, Cael casts the shield on the creature and the sphere incinerated at the creature faces.
Then, out of nowhere the creatures tried to fly away from the arcade through the roof.
"As if!"
A thousand black strings that shrouded in a dark miasma came from the ground and wrap itself to the creatures, bringing it back to the ground.
Sylvester leapt to the creatures body and the walls at a blinding speed, he immediately changes his guard to the high guard of the lady while positioning himself to the neck of the creatures in the air.
Here we go, I definitely can't miss this slash!
Blood splatters, the creatures has fallen down and it's head was decapitated by Sylvester swords, the creature has been subdued completely!
