Chapter 78 - The Bird Of Eternal Darkness

"Pffft, wahahaha wahahaha," laughed Sir Jean and said Aryan it's not only him but others too were getting the feeling that Howk was the antagonist there. 

Meanwhile, in the arena Zagan was screeching to his throat and with each passing minute, his wounds were getting healed. On the other hand, Howk, instead of attacking Zagan, was waiting for him to recover so that he could play with him again.

Just within a fraction of minutes Zagan's wound healed up completely and stood back on his four again. This time before Howk started his barrage of attack Zagan started his attack. He waved his hand in the air and materialized five arrows out of nowhere. Rather than arrows, it was a big feather made into an arrow with some modifications. 

He picked up one of them and threw it towards his enemy. Howk was thinking why did he throw that arrow without any force in it and soon he found out the answer. The feathered arrow thrown by Zagan didn't go straight instead the middle it went above, towards the sky. Howk, Aryan, Sir Jean, and the other spectators watching this had a confused expression on his face as to why did the arrow go upwards instead of moving towards.

While everyone was busy contemplating and running their brain horses the sky became bright all of a sudden, and the first one to observe this was none other than Aryan. The VIP zone was made at a high place, and it was night-time already. When the sky became bright the light rays first fell on Aryan eyes.

He drew Sir Jean and Yoshino's attention towards it and asked them for the source of light. Both of them stood up at once and scanned the source of light through their divine senses. Aryan could do the same too and more accurately than Sir Jean and Yohino but why do the work that you can make others do. (In simple terms he was getting infected by the laziness cancer of the Aizawa's.)

Before Yoshino completed her scanning, Sir Jean completed his and projected it out through the help of his Virtual Pad. Just for a second instead of knowing the result of the source of light, Aryan was more interested in how Sir Jean projected his divine sense's result onto his virtual pad.

So instead of asking about the result, he asked about the projection first, "Uncle Jean, how did you project it onto your virtual pad, is there any trick to it."

Sir Jean laughed and asked, "Ehhh…. You are more interested in the projection technique rather than the result of projection."

*Teehee*

"I am interested in that too, but before that give me a quick explanation on how you did it."

"Ok…. So listen, I used a Device Linker to project the result of the divine sense onto the virtual pad."

"Device linker?!! What's that?" asked Aryan with curiosity. In the beginning, he used to get heart attacks from the developments of the new era, each day was a hell for him, but God knows (By the way the god mentioned here is none other than Seven, XD) how some miracle happened and he started getting numb to such things.

He no longer receives any shock or astonishment from the underhanded plot. And thanks to the same god again he started enjoying the developments of the new era.

Sir Jean put his hand inside his coat and took out a small device from his pocket, "Here, this is a Device Linker. Used to project your thoughts onto your device." 

Aryan took the small gadget from his hand and examined it from all sides. After heart fully examining it from all sides, he asked Sir Jean on how to use that device.

Sir Jean fiddled on his virtual tab and showed Aryan the instruction manual on how to use it.

Aryan read through the short instruction and introduction manual and returned the virtual pad to Sir Jean.

"So anything else you wanna know, kiddo?"

"No, that article explained me everything that I ought to know," said Aryan and asked Sir Jean to show the result of their Divine Sense.

Sir Jean closed his eyes again and projected the result on the virtual pad. What he saw on the tab blew his mind. The source of that illumination was an eagle, a golden brown eagle!!!

After knowing the source of brightness Aryan didn't know how to react, an eagle!!! An eagle can produce that much light since when. It would be a different case if it was a phoenix or any other mythical creature but an eagle!!!! 

Aryan took some heavy breaths and sat down on the sofa beside him. All he can do now was to sit back and watch the show. He neither had a wish nor had an urge to predict the future event because he knew it very well that the result will always be completely different, something out of his expectations.

Even Sir Jean didn't bother to think about it and sat back in his place to enjoy the show. Only Yoshino was the only one who was sweating buckets there. 

"The corrupted god, the former guardian of the Heaven, the Bird Of Eternal Darkness…." Yoshino mumbled. But neither Aryan nor Sir Jean was listening to her mumbling. All of their attention was focused on the golden-brown eagle.

The eagle landed and perched on Zagan's shoulder, the eagle looked around the arena then to the person standing in front of him, "So, that kid is giving you trouble?" asked the eagle.

"Yes, and till now he is just playing with me. He can kill me anytime he wants, but judging from his behavior and speech, he is a sadistic type."

Eagle "..."

"What?!! He really is a sadist, I swear on your soft feathers." 

"Ewwww…. Don't swear on my feathers, they are innocent, you are not even eligible to swear on my poop, let alone my soft feathers." pouted the golden brown eagle.

Listening to their conversation, all the spectators started laughing, no matter how they see that eagle had arrogance and pride on his beak. Zagan waved his hand again and the remaining feather arrow on his hand vanished.

He looked towards Howk standing before him with a poker smile and said, "You damn mortal, now that the Guardian Eagle is here I dare you to hurt me again."

Krtchhhh!!

A wound appeared on Zagan's neck.

"Next time I won't miss, sorry for this time, my aim was a little off," shouted back Howk. The moment Zagan challenged him to hurt, he threw his disc without Zagan noticing him and gave him a wound on his neck.

Zagan looked at the eagle on his shoulder and asked him with rage, "O' the Guardian Eagle why didn't you protect me from that attack?"

"Hainnnn…. Why should I protect you?" asked the eagle in a daze.

Aryan "....."

Sir Jean "..."

Howk "..."

"Cough, aren't you the Guardian Eagle of Eternal Darkness, what did you mean by why should I protect you? And I am the one who summoned you to help me fight, isn't it your duty to protect your summoner??"

"Hehe kiddo, remember what you said to him," said the eagle with a mix of annoyance and pride.

"Ah… I said something like….. You damn mortal, now that the Guardian Eagle is here I dare you to hurt me again….."

Ha!!

"And where is the part, where you have mentioned that he will protect me?"

Zagan "...."

"And what did you tell me some minutes ago, remember, you have summoned me to aid you in a fight and if we take a logical approach to the meaning of fight, then it means offense and no defense. How can you expect a summoned deity to do the defense for you when you have called him for the offense?"

Zagan "....."

'This bird is telling the right thing actually, how can I expect him to do defense when I have called him for offense' Zagan pondered.

Meanwhile, Howk and the other spectators including Aryan, Sir Jean, and Yoshino were laughing hard on the standup comedy before them, they just couldn't get the feeling of terror and despair, from the last one hour they were trying to act serious but the events happening around them didn't allow them to follow the script and act serious like any other novel.

Meanwhile, Yoshino was fiddling with her virtual pad and searching for something that she had read long ago.
