Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 128: Hero

A huge blast sound resonated throughout the whole vicinity and the monsters quelled and growled in pain. It was like a missile rained down on a particular location. The sand storm cleared up as the huge smoke mixed with the red tint spread throughout the area and reached the sky as everyone watched it from a far distance.

There was no time for them to rest as more monsters kept rushing forward. They were fortunate that almost seven hundred monsters were decimated by Nix and the two sages who already cleared two hundred.

Cinzia's pupils dilated at the sheer sight. She clearly understood that he just pulled a death stunt again and probably died.

Yet, there was no time to waste. Even Rebecca got goosebumps by the mere sight. she didn't think that he'd go to such an extent to save his possessions but, what made her more agitated was the fact he went to fight head-on enduring his fear of death which she lacked.

Suddenly a blinding light appeared near them.

Abruptly...

***

A few seconds ago,

Nix gritted his teeth and watched the box flying towards the Centipede.

"Kueek!"

Nix squealed and fell to the ground as five Intors pounced on him at once and tried to eat his body until a spear flew towards the Intor that tried to bite his neck.

In the next moment, a flash flickered and Kim soo young's afterimage appeared on the air for a millisecond and that's when he noticed he was already there clutching the spear and stabbing the Intor. It seemed as though he was teleported but what he did was move extremely fast that a normal person couldn't keep up with the vision.

Nix hadn't reached such a level yet, so he was bound to see what seems incomprehensible and Truth eyes possess different purposes so that didn't workout much. Even Doom prediction vision staggered and split into hundreds of probability making it unpredictable.

He began to swing his spear rhythmically to the squeals of the monsters in great speed as the red waves of the bomb began spreading towards them, decimating the monster's flesh to the core.

"You are cool."

He commented with a smile staring at the bloodied Nix and just slashed his spear towards the red sparkling thunderous waves that approached them. The waves of the blast just divided into two and spread wide without reaching them. 

Nix was just lying there witnessing the scene at daze though his vision was blurry. Abruptly a rift opened up out of nowhere in the place they were and obviously, it was Felishia that walked out of the portal. She was covered by barrier magic that was seemingly impenetrable.

"Hah, Again?"

She mumbled and walked towards Nix ignoring the two sages' gazes and abruptly embraced him and teleported him from that place in an instant.

"Who was she?"

Kim soo young asked Lui Wei.

"Don't know..."

Lui Wei shrugged walking towards him shaking off the blood that tainted his sword.

The people near the wall looked at the scene in shock as Felishia walked out of the portal supporting Nix by giving him her shoulder.

" "

Everyone looked at him in a Bewilderment with great respect and reverence. Would they pull such a move? Probably no? No one knew what he had in his mind go to such extend. But, Noticing him, they didn't waver and rushed towards the battle.

"What the fuck? He should have died..."

Jack muttered in a low voice.

Hearing it Gregory just smirked and said.

"If it was you, you'd have died."

"Well, I'd have done it easily too."

Jack said angrily.

"Piss off homie. Accept it. You are a pussy, Haha"

Gregory laughed.

Cinzia recapped a scene where a man walked before hundreds of people, receiving gazes of admiration. She turned and looked at Rafila with a strange emotion welled up in her eyes and Rafila was already looking at her as though she knew what she had in her mind.

Though they decimated the monsters the number was still huge. They'd have to fight more than a hundred monsters which they were prepared to deal with. The fifty to sixty monsters that slipped by in the other directions could be killed at ease but, West is the place that faces extreme loss.

The two arrow towers began shooting arrows for a few seconds until the monsters got close. as soon as they reached Tarok, Reegan and a few others went rushing to the ground.

"Rest for a while."

Cinzia said looking at him worriedly.

He just gave her a nod and walked towards his clan house's rooftop.

Well, the others were doing good for several minutes nevertheless the monsters entered the town. Nix just stood on top of his clan house and continuously shot mana arrows with his gauntlet.

Thanks to the two sages the monsters were reduced to a hundred. Some people recognized them and some people didn't but, sure they felt grateful towards them. No matter what, they too had a limit about how much they can handle. They also decently backed away and took rest in a nearby building just like Nix.

It was similar to war yet, entirely different. It was not an organized battle. The ones on Nix's side lost their lives. Indeed that was an unfortunate event but, the casualties were extremely low considering the monsters they faced.

Over fifty of them died in the west and the other direction lost around twenty. Well, it turned out to be the regular number of causality they'd face but, at the same time, the number was slightly huge.

Moreover, the monsters penetrated the walls. Cinzia and Rafila participated in the fight side by side and several people in his clan were injured other than the productive members like Yumeko, Daisy, Vikil, and a few others. If there was any good thing that'd be the moon turned back into its regular appearance and the rain stopped.

Over the few hours, the Town was in chaos and returned to peace again. The buildings and everything was in a mess. Dead monsters were left on the streets and reeked off a bad smell.

The few of them without clans to go back and those who chose to follow Nix and his clan members adding the other three clan members arrived before the Transgressors clan house. Even Rachael came to visit him after getting to know what had happened. Then there were two sages that also came to visit him.

He fell unconscious in the middle of the battle on his rooftop and he didn't know that so many people were waiting for him. He just taped his body with few bandages and walked down drinking five healing potions at one go.

The healing potions were extremely hard to make and they only possessed eight of them but, without giving a fuck about the clan members he drank all of them. He achieved what he wanted to. and he needn't give an explanation to others. 

As he descended he found Cinzia standing in the empty hall and the entrance door was locked.

"Where is everyone?"

He asked.

"Waiting for you out since your clan house couldn't handle the crowd."

Kim soo young who stood next to him said with a smile.  Nix was quite startled since he didn't notice his presence.

"Thanks for helping me out there."

Nix said earnestly.

"No...If it wasn't for you we'd have lost."

"You are quite the humble person."

"It's Kim soo young, They call me spear sage," He said, stretching his hand towards him.

"It's Nix, Well, there is no title for me."

"Well, how about giving you a Title?"

Lui Wei who was leaning to the wall said casually staring at him with his hands crossed.

'When did he get in?'

He thought.

Camila came running from the kitchen and hugged his back.

"My hero!"

"That's too cheesy Camila"

Nix uttered with a smile staring at Cinzia, who had an envious expression on her face. She angrily walked towards him and grabbed his hand and kicked the door speedily.

"You got a harem? Haha, Good for you..."

Kim soo young said with a smirk.

"From what I see. You seem like a person who has a Harem too."

Nix replied back with a smirk.

"Well, yes..."

He rolled his eyes.

As soon as Cinzia dragged him out. he stood in his place in Daze feeling hundreds of eyes on him.

"Why are there so many people?"

He asked Cinzia in an annoyed tone.

"Well, you are the hero who saved the town."

Lui Wei muttered indifferently.

At that moment Nix's lips arched up into an evil smile. It seems he had something in mind.

"Everyone here is the hero of intransigence!"

Kim soo young raised his hand and yelled.

Intransigence means immovable, an unshakeable view towards something. It was a title he truly deserved. 

The whole street was filled and dampened by the crowd that came to visit him. Everyone yelled the same sentence in the unison and cheered for him and swiftly a message appeared before him.

He looked at it with a smirk and drifted his eyes back to the two sages.

"Now you got a title didn't you?"

Lui Wei asked.
