CRIMSON GUARD

Harry sneezed heavily after entering back into the cave. He quickly cleaned his nose with the back of his hand whie slowly approaching his squad. Mina had rushed to him since he had walked out on them during their discussions.

Harry had a smile on his face when he saw Mina approaching from a distance. "I really like that smile of yours so try your best to always keep it on your face.", she advised with a smile.

"What say you on the scout matter? Give me a nod if yes and an index finger if no."

*Nods*

Harry nodded immediately after he had taken his squad's leader's instructions into consideration. This was a bit hard for him but it was something he had to do if he wanted to be on the team.

People tend to despise those who step into the spotlight without contributing a dime towards the creation of that spotlight. Harry didn't want to that kind of a person. He cherished teamwork even though situations didn't allow him to participate in one.

Mina smiled gently since her plan to keep her classmate out off trouble had finally succeeded. She felt that it was her task to protect Harry no matter what. Maybe it was her feminine intuitions that might have ignited such a feeling but all the same, it wouldn't hurt to keep a friend safe, such a spooky feeling though.

Holding his hand, she had dragged him towards where the rest of the squad members were located. Harry looked away when his conscience had finally reminded him that he had walked out on these persons.

The shady looking guy from Sodom noticed his actions and had bursted into laughter after recognizing what they meant. "Are you shy?", he asked in between giggles. This had made it had for Harry to decipher his words but he knew what he was rattling about with the way he was laughing.

'That isn't funny, bro', he had wanted to say but once again he lacked the voice to do so. He only shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he had indeed accepted defeat to a higher degree.

The rest of the squad members: the other girl and the boy were siblings. They weren't ready to let go of each other which was a very wonderful sight to behold for Harry. His brother was a pain in the ass after all. So witnessing such a thing had warmed his ice-cold heart.

All over the place were groups of five just as how the angel had instructed the people. They were so afraid to go against the being who had taken the lives of ten people within an instant. Such a feat would have been fearful and abysmal to achieve in the human world.

That is why when these people had witnessed that one-sided massacre they had been fear stricken within an instant.

The stopwatch on the giant screen close to the angel continued to countdown as the time progressed. It was now left with a quarter of an hour on the clock. By this time though, most of the people had already chosen their groups and were already waiting for new others from the angel.

Though most of the people had finished with their selections, one person stood within the multitude of people with her arms folded since none of those around her could get closer to her.

The ground beneath her feet melted away after coming into contact with the energy emanating from her legs. Apart from the angel's presence, her's was one which was also generating fear and anxiety in the cave.

The boots she had received as a reward from the angel for asking a question was nothing normal. Its ferociousness was felt as heat radiated uncontrollably from it. The lion's fur on top of the knee guard shook and wavered effortlessly as the heat crawled over it.

What was surprising enough was that, they weren't getting burnt like how the rocks within the cave were melting away. This caused most of the people to gulp down their own saliva while showing expression of disdain and admiration at the same time.

"I don't even know what to say, she is just amazing", someone from the crowd had commented immediately when her eyes had met with his.

"Marry me miss!", another had shouted immediately with a perverted smile on his face.

This comment had caused the girl to smile a little with her cheeks turning red as if they were tomatoes.

"Awwwwn, she even smiles. Look at that smile, so perfect and immaculate. Like that of a princess …"

Her blonde hair wavered effortlessly when she had swung her head from side to side gently. This act of her's had revealed her green eyes which shown and sparkled like emerald and green flames in the dark. It's glow had totally melted the hearts of most of the men within the cave.

Her eyes weren't the only thing that have made men gone head over heels in love with her though. It was the what laid beneath her abdomen; a place where a man's future children could rest nicely while thinking about their entry into this world.

It was her curves to be precise. They were like those of a succubus, that was what her whole body was like. This had gotten the angel smiling since she had an idea of the gods who will be after her beauty.

'Zeus, I think he would be able to silence all the others', she said to herself while reminiscing about some things.

In a brightly lit throne room, a man was seen sitting on a crystal throne. His hair and beard were all white as snow. He constantly rubbed his beard with his right hand.

In his left hand though was a huge lightning bolt whose energy danced in and out of his body as if his body was one with it.

His eyes glowed brightly each time the energy entered and left his body, making his presence a bit more menacing and superior than that of all of those within the throne room.

He slowly exited his throne when he had been bored enough. He needed to stretch after all.

Ahacheew!

The powerful sneeze had immediately left his nose after exiting his throne.

"I guess I'm getting popular by the second", he said while rubbing his beard again.

——-

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

Beeps were heard as the numbers on the screen had been downgraded to nothing but zeros, signaling the end of the countdown time the angel had given. The whole place was filled with chatters as people prepared for whatever was to come in the near future.

As if she had been knocked out of her trance, the angel opened her lips to speak.

"Nice, the test will now proceed. You will be teleported to different areas within this place which have been inhabited by the orcs. You have a period of 5 days to complete this.

If you are not able to complete it within the accustomed time you will be killed on the spot by the gods. Also, if you're killed during the mission then your death will be registered as a permanent one even in the real world."

After her speech, she had waited for the people to bid their farewells to one another but they never did since those who had their loved ones present had formed groups with them.

The angel bit her lip in disdain while a white glow covered her hand. Immediately after the glow though, the chatter within the room had slowly died down as people got zapped into oblivion. Two groups at a time, it was done in such a manner just as how she had preached.
