Chapter 209 Yeolen

The Archenst, An ace group composed of only elites. All the members in this group are strictly chosen and nurtured with care. They were the backbone of the Republic of Threkert.

After finishing the battle in the eastern province, the Archenst returned to their homeland, but an order to investigate the sudden disturbance of spacial movement was sent to them right after.

Discovering the incident to be caused by a human, a thorough investigation was supposed to be carried out. Or at least it was supposed to be like that.

Yeolen, the captain of the Archenst, had cold sweat running down her back, looking at the person before.

A conspicuous man with a rather young look, his heterogeneous eyes gave a sense of terror to anyone who saw it, with one being blood red and the other black and red.

Another woman the same age as the man, and could even vanish in thin air. And finally, a child seeming between 7 to 8 years old.

As this was not enough bewildering, Yeolen could not sense even one of their presence, not even Arianel's!

'Is my senses screwing with me? A child is stronger than me?' Yeolen's hand shook a little, she put down her handgun. She was able to become a middle-rank knight even in such horrible conditions, her talent was apparent from this.

There were not many people who could escape her senses. Nevertheless, here they are, three people who she could not sense even while they stood right before her.

Seeing Zick's vertical eyes, Yeolen had an idea: 'Is he a hybrid?'

That would explain many things, she had fought some in the past. Hybrids could destroy medium-quality Xespic with their bare hands.

However, this was not proven yet, as Zick had no characteristics of a hybrid at all. He didn't even seem to have lost his mind like them, he appeared exactly the opposite.

"This way." Yeolen showed the way by using her hands, with communication being similar to a broken bridge, only actions could be used to convey the meaning.

Yeolen was truthfully a very cautious person, betraying her fierce appearance. To begin with, her job was on the battlefield, not something like this.

Zick shook his head internally: 'Her loyalty to this nation is very shallow. I wonder what her next action would be.'

A siren began ringing from the building below, they found out quite fast, within a few seconds. This showed that the dragon egg was kept under tight security.

Zick sighed and transmitted to Yeolen using magic, it took quite a lot of concentration even for him.

"Convey to your superior my intentions to have a conference." Zick's directly sent this message to her head, causing Yeolen to stare blankly.

Zick was not able to use this magic before as the mana around the Xespic disturbed him.

Understanding what just happened, Yeolen's eyes widened: 'Telepathic ability?! Or no...How was I able to understand him?'

Yeolen for now nodded her head, keeping a solemn look on her face. She began transmitting to the headquarters.

Yeolen kept her guard up, she was not scared out of wits yet, as she had the Xespic behind her to move in case Zick did anything funny.

In her mind, no one could go against the best Xespic in the republic of Threkert with their body.

Soon, Yeolen led Zick and the others to the ground floor using the Xespic, where hundreds of guards seemed to be moving hectically.

Yeolen looked at the golden egg from the corner of her eyes, she was more than capable enough to connect the dots.

Still, seeing Zick's calm demeanor, she was lost for words. He appeared like he had nothing to do with this at all.

Yeolen's eyes widened seeing that the golden egg had vanished. She had not even noticed when it had left Yuriel's hands.

The citizens kept their distance from the area, while the guards moved aside seeing the Xespic landed on the sidewalk. The police and guards stood straight after giving a salute filled with respect.

"Glory to the republic!"

Yeolen nodded her head seriously: " Continue performing your duties."

"Yes!"

Instantly, an order was distributed to all the guards at that moment — "Look for anyone with an item similar to an egg around a meter in size."

Immediately, almost all the guard's eyes moved around looking for anything suspicious.

A Xespic landed beside Yuriel: "Hey, I remember seeing an item similar to an egg with you. Where did it go?!"

Such action of course gathered many eyes on them.

Yeolen held her forehead with a frown, she was planning on finishing this assignment without any trouble, but it was not possible anymore.

"...If you are telling the truth, we will need to investigate this person thoroughly. Miss Yeolen, can you please hand them over to the Kortec research group?" A thin person with a lab coat moved forward, he was the executive of the research team, which was looking into the dragon egg.

And as Zick expected, they found out that it was nothing simple extremely quick. They wanted to further research it and it was a very important object, rated to be the only one in the world — irreplaceable.

Yeolen opened her mouth with a solemn look: "That is not possible, as of this instant, they are being taken to the headquarters of the Glazier Rex. All their responsibility would belong to them, please contact the chairman later on."

Seeing Yeonel speaking with a glib tongue, Zick turned to the head researcher. He had been counting all his resources as all of this was transpiring.

"The chairman? No problem, he is one of the biggest sponsors of this research, I will get his acceptance in a second." The head researcher, Huisel, conducted himself in a professional manner. Taking out a mobile from his coat's pocket.

"Sigh...Hey, look here now, stick-like bastard." Along with Zick's cold voice, some of his dragon fear wafted into the air, making everyone freeze in their position.

"Huh..." Surprise passed by Zick's eyes, just now he actually lost control over his mouth.

The source of such abnormalities was immediately identified by him.

It was the red energy that gave him the regenerative ability. He had not used it even once as it did not give any boost like his other ability.

'How can this be.....' Zick had thought that the negative effect of this strange power was removed, but that didn't seem like the case.

This ability was something that gave immense advantage to Zick, and everything in this world, there was a prize to pay. This strange power also tended to turn its wielder crazy with bloodlust.

Zick found the reason behind this immediately, it was because he lost the regretful necklace.

After finding it to be useless against Reikel, Zick put it within a space ring. However, it was lost during the fight.

It had either been destroyed or below some debris in the demon continent.

'To think that it was not fully erased, and now it erupted like this.' The mental pressure Zick felt increased by many folds.

Even an indistinct voice appeared in his head, increasing his headache by another level.

"It's alright, just let the bloodlust take over you."

"Being consumed in it would give you the greatest pleasure."

"Kill them!"

Zick's eyes turned hollow as he heard them, the future seemed filled with an unknown riddle once again.

Arianell's eyes got filled with concern, she felt something weird with Zick just now. Yuriel kept a straight face, not saying anything.

Zick looked at Yeolen and transmitted: "When will my ride be here?"

Yeolen jolted out of her frozen state of mind. The instinctual fear that was rising from her body made her feel her skin was crawling. Sweat formed on her face rapidly, and she was not able to think properly at all.

"F-five minutes....!" Just speaking these words made Yeolen feel a sense of breathlessness.

Zick did not stop releasing his dragon fear and waited for whoever was coming to pick him up.

'From the look of things, this woman isn't someone who does this kind of work. Normally, they would try to at least shackle my hands.' The inexperienced feeling coming from these people did not go unnoticed by Zick.

The people who controlled the Xespic might give out an experienced feeling to others, but their action was not at all professional.

Soon a long black car moved near the area, and Zick suppressed his dragon fear. It might lead to an accident if he didn't stop.

Many people took a deep breath, while some common folks held their chests in perspiration.

The pilot of Xespic had fear still etched into their heart. They were the people who braved even the hardest of the ordeal, but before Zick's dragon fear, they couldn't even move an inch.

The door of the car opened on its own, exposing the comfy seat within. More than picking up Zick, this car was sent to welcome the captain of the Archenst squad.

With no further ado, Zick and Yutiel entered the car. Putting Arianell on his lap, Zick sat as if he owned the car.

"What are you waiting for, enter." Zick transmitted while ignoring the voices in his head.

Yeolen had a strong urge to reject Zick's offer, nevertheless, seeing his cold eyes, she crawled into the car and sat with bowed head.

The driver felt something was out of place, but he still began driving without a word.

While the Xespic followed them from behind, Yeolen felt nothing but pressure, sitting before Zick, who looked like he could eat her in a single gulp.

Yeolen's Xespic moved on its own, being in autopilot mode.

Looking at the familiar scene outside the window, Zick closed his eyes and breathed out sharply, making Yeolen tremble.

Zick concentrated on his soul, after becoming a grandmaster, the presence of his soul was hidden from him.

Zick felt that his soul was still strong as ever, but he felt a sense of corruption coming from it. He began resisting corruption with all his energy.

'I didn't even notice such changes, I was truly walking on a thin rope. It has been suppressed for now, but it still affects my soul slowly. I need to find a way to solve this problem now.....'
