Chapter 248 That’s English?

The fight between Orah and Silvia was about to start as the two stood opposite each other waiting for the countdown to begin.

It didn't take long before the countdown began and as soon as it was over, Silvia summoned her long sword.

'Now, how am I supposed to deal with someone like her without any ability?' Orah thought.

Luis had moved back to where he was standing and Sonia followed him to stand beside him.

Ella said hi expecting her to reply but she pretended like she didn't see her.

'What is wrong with her?' Ella thought.

'She's evil, that's what's wrong with her.' Jasmine said.

'Evil?'

'Yeah, didn't you see the way she looked at you?' Jasmine asked.

'Yeah,' Ella said, turning towards Sonia to catch her looking at her but she had quickly turned away.

She pretended like she didn't see her as she turned to Luis instead.

"So what did you go to check at the edge of the arena?" She asked.

"I wanted to find out what that girl's ability was called but she was just too far away," Luis said drawing closer to her to prevent Sonia from hearing their conversation.

"Ok," Ella said, turning her gaze back to the screen.

The fight in the arena had kicked off with Silvia being the aggressor.

She was trying everything possible to hit Orah with her normal speed but the young Demon was doing a good job of avoiding her sword swings with his mix of martial arts and acrobatic moves.

The reason Silvia wasn't using her abilities yet was that she wanted Orah to pull his big guns first, her fight against him in the martial arts class had ended in a draw and that was the reason why she wasn't going to underestimate him.

She had gotten fed up with missing as she cranked up the speed a little bit.

Orah managed to escape the slash but there was no way he could escape the kick that had followed afterward.

The kick was sent down his gut and he was immediately sent flying backward but he had managed to stop himself from hitting the wall.

"I thought you had an ability?" Silvia said. "Can't you make this fight more interesting?"

"I don't need an ability to make it more interesting," Orah said, striking his fighting pose.

"Ok," Silvia said as she quickly zoomed towards him.

If it was just punches he would be glad to take a lot of punches but despite being a demon he didn't like getting hurt by sharp objects.

One of the similarities between Angels and Demons was that neither of them could create soul weapons and Orah would have been really glad if he could get a weapon here.

He was trying his best to avoid the dangerous slashes but he was still getting cut by the ones too fast for him to avoid.

"I thought you said you could make this more interesting," Silvia said before slamming him into the wall with a kick.

Orah let out a groan as he fell flat on his face before picking himself up again.

"You know it's not fair if you have a sword and I don't." He said with one of his knees on the ground.

"You don't have a soul weapon?" Silvia said.

"I do, but I wouldn't want to ruin your beautiful skin with it," Orah said, looking at the small cuts on his skin.

"Beautiful skin." Silvia chuckled inwardly as her sword vanished in her hand. "Ok, we're even now."

She zoomed towards the young Demon and tried to punch him into the ground with both hands when the Demon raised his hands and caught both of her hands.

Silvia tried to push him down but he wasn't budging and looking at his face he could see that there was a wry smile on it.

Images of the fight at the martial arts class flashes through her memory as she knew the worst was about to come.

Silvia may have speed but Orah was far superior when it came to strength and right now he was using that strength against her.

She let out a loud moan as Orah began to compress her hand trying to pull her down but she was doing her best to hold her ground as her moans turned to growls and both of her hands began to take a blue glow with little sparks.

"Uh oh." Luis and Ella said in unison on seeing the blue glow.

"Another special skill, that's interesting." Lieutenant Kate said.

A horrid look had appeared on Orah's face on seeing the blue glow and sparks but it was already too late for him to escape as the blue explosion went off.

Silvia quickly used her telekinetic ability to create some kind of barrier to shield herself but the blast was just too much as she got blasted back.

The barrier wasn't all that useless as it had reduced the impact of the blast on her and although that fall had hurt badly she was still conscious.

Orah on the other hand wasn't close to being okay as the blue light cleared and he could be seen with his back against the wall and he wasn't moving.

"What was that?" Lieutenant Kate said as she had removed the earth walls she had raised at the edges of the arena just in case the explosion became something else.

"I'm not sure I have seen any of the few Wonder Warriors I've met use a skill like that."

Silvia got up and looked around to see that the explosion had created large dents in the middle of the walls all round.

"I need to ask mother about this." She said looking at her hands.

In the military base at Eukerion, Bryan was watching the footage of the falling scroll again with the scroll lying on top of the keyboard connected to the monitor.

"You know you have been watching that footage over and over again for the past one hour and you still haven't found anything," Layla said.

She had been sitting on the table at the side of the room watching him go through the footage expecting him to find something that may help them decipher the language but he still hadn't found anything.

The reason Bryan was going over the footage over and over again was to see if he could find anything like a portal where the scroll had fallen but after watching the footage countless times and still zooming in on every corner, he still couldn't find anything.

Just looking at the scroll he knew it had to be from another time just like Tania and Leo who said they had arrived here through some kind of portal.

'Maybe I should just ask Leo.' He thought.

It didn't take him long before he paused the video and quickly got up heading toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Layla asked quickly, going after him.

Bryan didn't reply until she had caught up with him outside and pulled him on his uniform.

"Don't you think you should let your fellow Lieutenant know where you're going before leaving?" Layla said.

"I think I know someone who can help us decipher this strange language," Bryan said.

"And you're going to meet him now," Layla said.

"Yeah, it's going to take just a few minutes before I'm back," Bryan said.

"Ok, let's go then," Layla said walking ahead of him towards his black Sports Utility Vehicle which was called SUV for short.

"No Layla, you know we both can't leave this base, a Lieutenant must be here," Bryan said.

"Rayo can take care of a few things for just a few minutes," Layla said, resting her back on the car and gesturing for Rayo, the male soldier who was standing near the entrance to come. "You did say it was going to take just a few minutes."

"Yes, ma," Rayo said as soon as he had stopped in front of her.

"We're both going somewhere to check out something important, you're in charge until we return," Layla said.

"Ok, ma," Rayo said with a nod.

"You can go now," Layla said before turning to Bryan who did not have a pleasant look on his face.

"Seriously I don't know why you're upset about this, it's not like we're going to get a visit from the head general or commander," Layla said.

Bryan stared at her for a while before letting out a sigh of defeat.

"Just don't mess anything up," Bryan said heading towards his car.

"Hey, when have I messed anything up?"

Bryan didn't say anything as he opened the door to the driver's seat and entered the car.

It didn't take them up to twenty minutes before they had arrived at Bryan's house as Bryan parked in his normal parking spot.

"You didn't tell the person was in your house," Layla said, looking around.

"Just keep quiet," Bryan said quickly going up the stairs.

"Ok," Layla said, quickly following him.

He opened the door to see Leo sitting on the couch in the living room watching something on the television.

"Hey, Leo," Bryan said.

"You're back early," Leo said, sitting up on the couch.

"I'm not done for the day," Bryan said.

"Then why are you here?" Leo asked as he saw Layla enter the room.

Layla wanted to say something but remembering what Bryan had told her last she decided to keep quiet for now.

"I wanted to show you something," Bryan said as he brought out the scroll, opened it, and dropped it on the table in front of him.

Leo's eyes brightened as he looked at the scroll and looking at his face Bryan knew he had an idea of what was written there.

"Do you know what language that is?" Bryan asked.

"Yeah, this is English," Leo said.

"English?" Bryan said.

"That's English?" Layla said with a confused look on her face.
