Chapter 128 Flight!
A hand appeared out of blue and caught the broadsword. "Big guy, I can\'t let you kill him. I still have some business left with Loki." Bobby said with a grin.
Both Hunk and Loki, the youth who was currently grunting and groaning in pain, glanced at the new person.
"You-you-you…. a human!" exclaimed Hunk in surprise. He tried to retrieve his weapon, which was caught between his index and forefinger. But he failed to even budge a bit and then he used more strength to pull the broadsword, which still failed.
"Yeah, surprise….. I\'m the human survivor you all have been looking for." Bobby made a goofy smile and further added, saying. "So now, hey, Big Guy, can you shut up and stay still like a good boy? I have some important matters to discuss with Loki."
Bobby ignored him and picked up Loki\'s head with his right hand and asked, "Loki, I\'ll stop beating around the bush here….. Hmm, you don\'t look really good, bro. But before you pass, I need your Angelic Soul Core."
"Shut up, you filthy human scum! Whatever you want to say, keep to yourself. I know my body condition." Loki shouted as red blood flowed out of his mouth.
"Ahh, bro, listen carefully before you yelp again…. I\'m the only shot you have left for your revenge. And believe me. If you happen to have any ideas of pinning your hope on Captain Shiko, you are truly naïve. It would be hard to save his skin." Bobby said.
Hearing his words, Loki seemed to be interested in his suggestion.
"Okay, I\'m a bit of a pickle here too; a human in an angel world…. And I have decided to steal your identity and to live disguised as you. So, I need your Angelic Soul core to do that. In return, I will do a huge favor for you. What do you think?" Bobby said.
He then added. "Forget about any nonsense hypocrites preaching you get about your angels. You don\'t need that."
"Hah, it\'s funny. In the end, it comes to this. Alright, but first show me some action that you can do as you say." Loki said as he chuckled lightly and he groaned in pain.
"Yes, what do I need to prove to you?" asked Bobby.
"Alright, I\'ll believe you on this one as I don\'t have to lose anything whether or not you avenge my mother…. But, first, kill this dog." Loki said, looking at Hunk, who was currently listening and trying to retrieve his weapon.
"Oh, dog, you mean this hunky guy?... Hee-hee-hee, it\'ll be my pleasure to butcher him." Bobby said, and then he placed his head carefully on the ground.
In the meantime, Hunk knew Bobby was way over his league in terms of strength from the brief exchange. So he left his weapon, spread out his wings, and started flying upward as his inner voice screamed inside his head, saying: \'Run, run, run…. This human is way stronger than me.\'
He soared up high in the air at his best speed and his lips curled up as he passed the tallest tree lines, thinking that he was safe.
Meanwhile, Bobby stood up with a straight back and shouted, "Ninja Movement Technique, 1st Law, Racing Against The Wind!"
In the next instance, he vanished, and a shadow moved quickly, stepping on multiple trees, and then the shadow jumped high in the air.
And Bobby reappeared just beside Loki, who was on his deathbed, lying over the ground with a head in his hands, dripping blood over the ground.
He then tossed it next to Loki and at the same time, the head hit the ground, and the headless body of Hunk free fell from the air and hit the ground, making a thud.
Thud!!
"It\'s done! So, are you going to keep your word?" said Bobby.
Without saying a word, Loki started chanting a strange spell in an ancient, angelic tongue.
In the next second, a white dazzling ball of light came out of Loki\'s forehead and fell on his hand.
He then raised his hand and said, "Take it."
Bobby reached for it and picked it up from his hand. "Good, since you choose to trust me, then I\'ll give you my words. I\'m going to kill the last one of your enemies to help me."
"Thank you, human," Loki said, and he stopped breathing, losing the light in his eyes.
Bobby reached out his hand and closed his eyes and said telepathically in his mind. "Cynthia, I get his Angelic Soul Core. What now?"
"Well, good job. Now, you can leave everything to me," replied Cynthia.
She wiggled her supple fingers and then suddenly a powerful suction force appeared, coming out from Bobby\'s forehead.
It sort of looked like a spatial vortex.
The strange unearthly force levitated the two body parts of Loki in the air and was devoured into the spatial vortex and then it returned inside through Bobby\'s forehead again.
Bobby used his consciousness and saw two half corpses of Loki next to Cynthia in his mind.
"Are you ready to use the spell I taught you earlier?" Cynthia asked as she rejoined the two separate body parts into a complete corpse.
"Yeah, let\'s do it." Bobby then placed the white dazzling Angelic Soul ball, touching his forehead, and then he began chanting a spell at the same time. Cynthia also chanted another spell in rhythm to his chant.
Then suddenly, the white energy from the Angelic soul ball sipped through his forehead.
Loki\'s corpse levitated in the air inside his mind and the white energy sipped inside appeared just above Cynthia\'s hands and started transforming into a tiny white flame.
The flame ball just above her hands gradually increased in size.
After half an hour later, the white Angelic Soul ball was exhausted, turning into the gigantic flame ball just above Cynthia\'s hands and Bobby finally stopped chanting the spell.
"Are we good?" He asked.
"Yeah, now, you can leave everything to my excellent hands," Cynthia answered.
She flicked the gigantic white flame ball, which then drifted toward the corpse and started covering the entire corpse.
She then sat cross-legged and then touched her forehead and began chanting a new spell.
Next, the white started refining the corpse and started burning it.
The process kept going on and finally, all the flesh and bone were burned, turning into fifty-five greenish liquid drops and a pair of wings.
Cynthia made a gesture toward the pair of black wings and the next instant, the fifty-five greenish drops were floated toward and got absorbed into the pair of wings.
"Huh, finally," Cynthia said with a smile drawn over her face. "Now, may I present to you, your Angelic Armament!" She then snapped her fingers.
Plop!
A pair of black wings with multiple white spots appeared in the air in front of Bobby.
He then caught it in the air and scrutinized it while he even scanned it, activating his ocular skill.
"Are you simply going to stay looking like that?" Cynthia said.
Bobby then removed his shirt and brought it to his back, touching his body. He chanted a spell and shouted, "Angelic Armament, Activate!"
The pair of black wings glowed suddenly, and it attached to Bobby\'s back.
After that, he felt that the pair of wings were like his other pair of hands.
"What are you waiting for? Don\'t you like to try it?" Cynthia nagged at him.
"Hey, stop egging on me. I\'m about to do that." Bobby replied.
His brain instructed, and the pair of wings started flapping, making him lift gradually in the air. And he fell to his feet on the ground as he lost balance.
"Hahaha… What a lousy flight?" Cynthia burst into peals of laughter.
"Laugh all you like. There\'s nothing to feel embarrassed about…. This is my first time trying this, anyway." Bobby said with a straight face and he continued trying to fly up, flapping his wings again and again, which repeatedly failed after a few seconds in the air.
"Hah, what are you, 18? Even a four-year-old kid can fly better than you on their first flight. You even failed to reach five feet above the ground." Cynthia further teased him.
"Whatever, damn it. Why is this so hard? " He started complaining after failing several more times. "Cynthia, can you give me some tips?" He asked, after swallowing his pride.
"Oh, boy! Alright, sweetheart, have you ever learned how to swim before?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah, I\'m pretty good at swimming," Bobby replied.
"So, how should I put this?....um… Yes, in your human perspective, you can simply swim without drawing using the buoyancy force to float." Cynthia explained patiently.
She added. "Likewise, swimming in the water, assume yourself swimming while you take your flight in the air. Only this time, you need to flap your wings at the same time and use the wind to your advantage. Now, try it."
Bobby took a deep breath and then he jumped up in the air and he focused on his wings and started flapping them at the same time. Finally, he was gradually lifted above in the air, higher and higher as he flapped his wings.
