Chapter 6

Since ancient times the night has been something people are afraid of. It’s a pretty common thought but it’s also one of the world’s biggest misconceptions. You see the night is when those who have no place for it are afraid. However there are those who aren’t. There are those who bathe in the night live in the night and those are who I’m looking for.

While I leave the apartment I change my face to have brown eyes, a round face, and brown long hair. After I leave the apartment I spread my wings out and fly over the city increasing my eyesight I look down trying to spot what I’m looking for. It takes me a while but I find it in another section of the city which I’ve decided to call it since its way too big to be a town, are a group of people ganging on some random guy in a back street where no one can see them.

There were about four of them and three had him preyed against a wall while another was standing a god five feet way presumably on lookout. Landing I decided to test out how sharp my wings are by twirling them at their necks while I land. They don’t even notice me till my wings connect with their bodies but by then it’s too late and their heads hit the floor.

The lookout finally notices me but I stretch my hand over to him and enlarge it to the size of his body crushing him but careful so I don’t kill him. Then I leave a piece of skin on his moth hardening it so he can’t scream. After all I’m going to need him alive to question him.

Looking at the guy I rescued he has a horrified but grateful look on his face. Honestly nothing stands out on him at first glance average face, average eyes, and nothing at all to remember. Something seems off though using my sixth sense I discover something else entirely.

The puny weak person is nowhere to be seen and instead I see a chiseled guy with green eyes and long brown hair. On his back is what looks like a sword and his expression isn’t what it was before but instead is annoyed. Looking back in forth between my regular sight and my sixth sense I’m sure of it.

“An Illusionist right?”

“Oh you even knew that but you still killed them you’re a pretty interesting guy.”

In reality I didn’t know what was going on but I could guess this guy want in any real danger. That however isn’t what I killed them for. I simply need to know who control the thugs in this territory. I’d ask Claire but from what I can gather they were probably an independent group from a higher world.

“So why were you pretending to be scared of them?”

“I’m looking for the boss of this territory I figured if I let these guys take me to him then I would be on the fast track to meeting him” he says dropping the illusion

“Well then it seems for now our goals align.”

“Is that so? Then I’m guessing you got a way to bring back the dead otherwise we are royally fucked.”

“I left the one over there alive so we can get the information from him.”

“You think hell talk.”

“Yeah I can be pretty persuasive.”

First I remove the hardened kin from his mouth.

“Listen I’m going to ask you some questions and you’re going to answer them.”

“I ain’t telling you nothing and if you think you’re getting away with your wrong, the boss is gonna kill you.”

Honestly I’d rather just go in his brain and take the information but then the illusionist would see. I could kill him but his ability could come in useful. So proceeding directly to the torture I put one hand over his mouth sealing it and use the other to make a cut in chest with my nail. Then I put my finger in his cut and kept pushing in until I reached his heart.

I concentrated on the heat in his blood flowing from his heart and started increasing it letting the heart take it to every part of his body. After ten minutes of what probably felt like burning alive I stopped. Removing the hardened skin from his mouth I asked my question.

“So where’s your hideout.”

Ten minutes later we were in front of a brown warehouse.

“So illusionist you take one half I take the other.”

“Sure but call me Ren.”

“Sure and you can call me Zion.”

“Well then let’s kick some ass.”

Kicking down the door I saw twenty people wearing suits guarding a staircase. Using my sixth sense I could feel there were three floors and around thirty people on the second floor and fifty people on the third.

Too bad that the guards weren’t going to wait for me to be done checking and started attacking… the spot next to me.

“Get your ass going why the hell are you zoning out!”

Ah so he casted an illusion. Recovering I took out the ball of blood and materialized it as a shield in front of me just in time to block a ball of fire.

I separated the ball into ten thin lances of blood and shot them though their heads. Looking over to my right I saw ten Rens attacking his opponents. Sometimes the attacks would hit him just to go straight through him. He would thin slash his sword through there throat.

Instead of helping him I gathered the blood of the people I killed into a giant ball and started walking up the stairs. It didn’t take long for Ren to catch up though.

“You could’ve helped me out.”

“It looked like you had everything under control.”

“Did it now? By the way that’s a nice ability you got there” he says looking at the giant floating ball of blood.

“I know right“ and with that I harden the ball of blood put it into my pocket and spread out my wings.

“Bet you I can kill more” I said flying away.

“Hmph will see about that.”

The people on the next floor were ready though and as soon as I emerged blades of winds flew straight towards me, dodging the blades I flew straight at the woman who shot them cutting her straight in half with my wings.

Retracting my wings I ran towards them but before I could make it a bolt of lightning blasted me off my feet. In midair I turned landing on my feet. Then I was knocked off my feet again this time by a person going faster than I could see. Getting angry I turned on my sixth sense.

When he ran at me this time I extended my elbow bone out and turned around plunging it into his chest right when he ran at my back. Then I turned toward the biggest group of people. Sharpening my arm bone until it was sharper than a sword I cut a giant wall of earth coming towards me in half. Then I extended it until it was thirty feet long and whipped it at them faster than a bullet cutting fourteen people in half.

Looking at Ren group he had already taken out ten people and was still going hard. There were still three people on my side left and they seemed to be the stronger ones.

To prove my point a laser beam shot at my head and if it wasn’t for my sixth sense I would’ve had a hole through my head. I guess I’m going to take them seriously. I concentrated on their bodies and after a minute of two of dodging laser beams and ice blades I could feel their hearts and of course I instantly crushed them. It was actually pretty interesting watching there shocked faces as they coughed out blood.

“You got a weird ability don’t you?”

“Yea but there is still fifty left so could you let me handle the last ones.”

“Sure but don’t kill the boss.”

“I wasn’t planning to I got some questions for him.”

As soon as I got to the top of the stairs I tighten my bones like a spring shot all my bones out of my body and out at the crowd. Humans have a lot of bones and everyone on the floor either instantly died or was injured. Of course I made sure to avoid killing the blond blue eyed girl in a fancy suit sitting at the desk in back.

After waiting a few seconds all my bones regenerated and I got back up. Then I walked straight towards the back and sat on her desk.

“Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Which one do you want?”

Looking over at all the dead bodies littered across the room and Ren who was walking toward us she made up her mind.

“I surrender.”

“Good Ren what did you want with her.”

“My guild wanted me to report back who the leader was of the people making trouble on the first world but being as though you decimated the entire place. I was just going to give her to the higher ups. Why’d you want to find them?”

“I was bored.”

They both looked at me incredulously.

“Could you guys do me a favor and spread my name as the one who did this but only in the underworld of course it would increase my reputation that’s all really wanted to get done. I was going to ask you who could do it but being as though you had so many people under your control. I’m guessing you’re more than qualified to do it.”

“Wait who are you the blond ask?”

After changing my face back right in front of them I respond.

“I’m Zion.”

After that I fly back to Claire’s place and before they can respond I lay on her floor and go to sleep disregarding all the blood on my clothes.
