204 Chapter 196 - Itsuki’s Frustration.

"I thought I told you that you could do anything you want to those shadow punishers, why did you suddenly become so kind?" Chris asked while moved his pawn.

"Well, who told you I didn't do anything to them? Check." said Ben while moving his rook, checking Chris's king.

Chris stared at Ben, a bit curious about what he had done.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quill Town. Somewhere on the street.

The whole group of Shadow Punishers is surrounding a cute little puppy.

"Aww... Don't you think it's cute?"

"Ahh~ I want to snuggle it so badly!"

"Ah... The ears are soft~"

The lady leader of the Punishers stared at that whole group of macho men in black robe, while holding the weird desire that slowly oozed out from her cold heart, someone had activated a weird side of them that they tried very hard to hide it in order to maintain the stern manner of the Punishers...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secret base.

"But don't worry, it's nothing bad." said Ben.

"As if I will believe you... Tsk... What's wrong with Byako? Why hasn't he reply to my messages? It had passed five minutes in Null Dimension, he never took this long to reply me." said Chris while anxiously looking at his phone.

"Hmm... Checkmate." Ben mercilessly checkmated Chris.

"Ah... You are just lucky that I'm distracted by other issues." said Chris.

"Yeah right." said Ben, rather sarcastic.

"I trusted Byako's efficiency but Dominic doesn't seem to be lying as well... Tsk... I wonder if my message did not reach Byako? If only I could get the confirmation from him." said Chris, obviously ignore Ben's 'victorious moment'.

"If you are concerned about that area, I suggest that we investigate that place first, since it's just a small area." said Ben, while rearranged the chessboard.

"Hmm... Good idea, we will depart on tomorrow morning." said Chris.

"Ah... What a rush..." Ben is a bit surprised at Chris's decision that he makes all of the sudden.

Meanwhile, Seito's room.

"But seriously, don't you think that angel is kind of cool? Especially when he easily deactivated those devices while exterminating that weird creature?" said Seito, rather excited.

"Hate to admit it, but it's really kind of amusing. But don't you think he is kind of arrogant, especially with his polite yet sarcastic manner." said Itsuki.

"Ah... Now you mentioned it. I felt it as well." said Seito.

"Hey, Brother Kenji, can you help me with some try of these curved swords in the training room? As I don't know when will we be departing again." said Itsuki.

"Yes, of course." said Seito.

Quill Town, Dominic room.

"Ha~chiu... Hmm? I thought I closed all the windows, wait, I had indeed closed all the windows. Could it be some tiny pollens that snuck into through the windows?" As expected, Dominic sneezed.

"Oh my! Uncle Dominic, are you alright? Did you catch a cold?" Maria asked, rather concerned, like how you will concern about your elder.

"No... Don't worry, I'm alright." said Dominic who is trying hard to stay a distant from Maria.

"Aww... Don't be shy... Hmm? You are viewing that map too? And that's surely are a really long and complicated reports you need to read, just like Chris-chan. Is there anything I could help?" said Maria.

"Well... I don't know if Chris had told you about this or not, but I'm actually suspecting people from my place are secretly doing some sinful deeds, that included meddling with the rules of Heavenly Realm that prohibited any form of bodily connection of angels and other creatures. So I'm analyzing all the data I could to see if I could found out any suspicious in it." said Dominic.

"I see, if you trust me enough, I could help you to read through some of the reports... If that would help." said Maria.

Dominic stared at Maria for a while before handed him a stack of reports from the other town...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, secret base, training room. Itsuki waved one of the curve swords to the air, but the sword doesn't give any reaction as that day when Chris let him tried the sword. However it's not totally useless, each movement of the sword can create a five meters range of visible cut marks on the ground around.

"Itsu, this is actually quite amazing already, I can't even do a single thing with it." said Seito, trying to convince Itsuki that he is doing well.

"This is not enough, it's not even half of the power it has for that attack I did to Sky's armor..." said Itsuki, a bit frustrated.

"Yeah... But..."

"And we are unable to do a single thing when we were in the angel's town, while the three of them are risking their lives almost every single moment in there." said Itsuki while swinging the sword even more aggressive than before.

However, the effect gets even worse as his frustration level increased.

"Itsu, stop it! You might hurt yourself by doing that." said Seito, while stopped Itsuki.

"It's useless, I can't do it after all." said Itsuki while sat onto the ground.

"Actually what's the reason you wanted to grow strong so eagerly?" Seito asked.

"It's not that I wanted to but I need to... That damn bloodline of mine is slowly replacing and taking over me... If I didn't grow strong, I'll eventually lose myself to it." said Itsuki.

Hearing these words, Seito couldn't help but remembering that awful past again. Then he sat next to Itsuki, without saying anything...

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
