Chapter 361 - Strike Two
[ Warning! Warning! ]
[ Sudden Decrease in Luck! ]
'What the hell is going on all of a sudden?' William thought.
'Anne'
'Yeahh'
'A little explanation please.'
'Welllll… We might have a small problem in our hands.' Anne said with a bit of hesitation in her tone.
William suddenly felt a headache from long before coming to his head as a new notification sprang up in front of him.
[ WARNING! Luck is approaching the negative limit! ]
"WHAT!"
'Scratch the 'small' part.'
[ Luck has gone below the negative limit! ]
'I think you should wear your seatbelt… tightly.'
William listened to Anne's words as he saw his luck going down the drain.
[Luck: 54]
[Luck: 25]
[Luck: 02]
[Luck: - 01]
[Luck: - 70]
When the sudden spike of negative 70 appeared in his status, William's eyes shot up in surprise and mild curiosity. He was surprised yes, still couldn't help but knowing what the thing would bring.
It seems that his surprise didn't go unnoticed as Delmar and Naomi looked at him with worry.
"Boss, is something wrong?"
"William, is everything okay?"
William heard their words but couldn't answer them right now as he was talking with Anne at the moment.
'What the fu*k is happening all of a sudden ANNE!'
'I don't know!' Anne said, 'I'm sorry but I truly don't know what is causing this phenomenon.'
'I haven't seen a case where someone's good luck suddenly takes a dive like that.'
'It surely is not a coincidence and something like this doesn't happen unless…'
'Unless what?' William asked but already felt that he knew what the answer would be.
'Unless someone or something deliberately interferes with someone's fate.'
'Ahh fuc*… It's Baphomet.' William spoke out in his inner mind and felt the headache suddenly increasing to high decrees.
'you REally DidN't THink YOu WoUld BE FreE FRom Me JuSt LiKe THat DId YoU??!!!'
Your next journey awaits at empire
A voice sprangs up from all around William's senses. A voice that seems as melodic as it was chaotic. He couldn't decipher whether the voice belonged to a male or female.
But knew that the being didn't matter about such simple meanings, for it was true and all.
Delmar and Naomi who were originally looking at William, now turned to the pilot as it announced some words.
[ We are getting a sudden increase in the atmosphere and are likely to get a strong airflow in the next moments. ]
[ Please tighten your seatbelts and hold on to them, until we knew it has passed. ]
'I DOn't TakE My EYes FrOm ANytHing THat I KnOw IS To bE MIne.'
The air became heavy as the white clouds quickly took a turn to its color and turned dark. The darkness seemed to encompass everything as it quickly spread around hundreds of miles.
'StiLl I HOpe YoU ENjoyed ThE LiTtle VAcation I GavE. You DefinitEly WOUld Be IN NEed Of MaNy AFtEr I GeT My CLawS ON YOu.'
The clouds cracked with lightning shimmering to be brought down upon it's foes and blew air so hard that the pilot of the black jet was having trouble maneuvering the jet.
William held on to his head with both hands as the headache brought on pain that was on an another level.
'Don't worry William, Just Give me a moment to take care of that thing.'
'It'll be all over within a few moments.'
[ The system is asking permission to use 'Chaos Authority' for temporary extractment ]
William nodded excessively to any and all the notifications that came to his face. The pain was becoming approaching such a high state that William felt like his head would burst open the next moment.
[ The system has been given permission to use Chaos Authority ]
[ Extracting the foreign force and wiping off any anomalies that are approaching the User's mind of state, physical body and soul circuit ]
'It SEEms THe LIttle PeSt HAs BEen BRouGht BaCk AGain ANd Is TrOubling Us IN OUr UniOn OnCe MorE'
'No MaTter… THe Pest CAn Do AS It PLeases… But REMEMBER'
Lightning bolts apart lightning bolts suddenly strikes upon the small black jet in its vicinity. The attack seemed so aggressive and constant that the Jets protective shield around it's body was quickly taking a nosedive and was approaching the 0 number.
'I Will Be Back'
[ Chaos Authority Is Upon Complete Completion Of Wiping The Anomaly ]
[ Anomaly Erased and all of its remains has been extracted ]
[ The Extracted Liquids has been stored in the systems storage temporarily ]
The air that was bristling with thunderstorms and dark clouds, went away without a trace as the attack on the small jet on the horizon stopped for the time being.
The pilot gave a heavy sigh of relief as he saw the jets protective shield slowly beginning to rise. After checking the crappy weather report once more and seeing that there wouldn't be another sudden barrage of lightning bolts striking them again he turned on the intercom.
[ Ladies and Gentlemen, This is your pilot speaking. ]
[ The Thunderstorm is now gone and all that is left is a small speck of rain from its sudden attac- Interuption. ]
[ Feel at ease everyone. The worst is over and now a big sunny sun awaits us in the horizon. Feel free to loosen your seatbelts and enjoy the view with me. ]
Hearing the pilot's words made almost everyone in the jet sigh out in relief too. They too had felt the sudden barrages from mother darkness and didn't know what to do.
They knew that they couldn't do anything against such attacks and were only waiting to be fried… or burned. But now seeing the large sun slowly drop down and give a orangish red glow like that fulfilled everyone's hearts from the worries and fear of death a moment ago.
Alas… they didn't know that the worst still isn't over.
Delmar and Naomi didn't have the sigh of relief or relaxed look on their faces as they looked at William who was breathing heavily as his head hung low.
Naomi tried to touch his shoulder and ask him about his health but was stopped by a loosely hovering hand.
"Jus… Just give me a moment."
Naomi backed away as William took a few moments of rest. When he finally felt the pain wash away and a cooling sensation permeating his brain, he gave a sigh
"I'm sorry for that… it's just a headache I seen to have since long ago that comes and goes without any warning."
Naomi instead of being satisfied was even more worried, "Is it something serious?"
"Well… Its-"
'William… your luck… it's still the same.'
Hearing Anne, William again opened up his stats.
[Luck: - 70]
Seeing the negative still there, he knew that it wasn't over yet.
Naomi misunderstood his anxious look and took that as an answer. But as she was about to ask him some more question, a roar sounded out.
"RAAAAAARHHHHH!!!!!"
The roar was from far away, but its intensity so swift and strong that the jet vibrated as the roar passed through it. The roar felt primal, monstrous even with how large and intent it was.
The pilot quickly typed a few things that opened up the side camera of the jet and showed some footage.
The pilots face was the first to dimorph into paleness as he saw what it was.
