Nyx's Phantasma Act 1

Chapter 43: Junkyard Madness

Chapter 43: Junkyard Madness

Push Rayth huh, just what the hell are you thinking August... Why in such a hurry to find people to help him. What's his end goal, Xenia mentions about his life how there seems to be more to his goal of finding Nyx then just for a curious sake. He has another reason why...

Eloria looks at me, "Hey! Lyn! Are you focusing?"

"Huh? W-what?"

"Everytime you start blankly staring and not saying a word it means you are thinking about something too deep. So tell me, because that attitude ain't going to help us during the fights Zeke tells us we will have."

"F-fights...?" I turned to look at Rayth who seemed to be chatting with Jasper and Alina, "August, it seems like he sees potential in Rayth, so he says he will try to push him. But... I think August is thinking irrationally with this..."

"How so?"

"I think he should just let Rayth grow at his own pace, I just have this bad taste in my mouth about this pushing Rayth to make him reach his limit faster."

"Luyu definitely wanted me to practice at my own pace."

"Oh really? You never really talk about her."

"Too bothersome... But she told me that forcing someone to unlock their potential is dangerous in many ways. Unless the user is strong it can affect their mental and physical power."

I looked down looking at my hands, "Xenia told me my power had infinite potential, maybe to the point of limitless...But she also told me that achieving that potential will lead me to hurting you guys."

"Who the hell do you think I am? I am Eloria Mizuki, I can take you on."

"Haha, thanks Eloria..."

Once we entered the Junkyard we were looking at a place filled with broken houses and a lot of garbage on the ground...

Zeke proudly puffs himself up, "I manage this place, pretty good huh."

Eloria shakes her head, "Garbage, just garbage."

August looked around, "Where do you get to find the Ring?"

Zeke shows us a floor door as he gets in, "This way."

When we all jumped down it was a cave system similar to Tivia Cave.

Eloria took out her extra bread as she mucus on it, "Hm, I... Munch I think... Munch We Munch."

Zeke yells, "Shut it speed girl! We're on an important mission right now."

"Hey you won't get so far!"

We turned to see a worker with a shovel.

August points, "Who the hell is he?"

Zeke tilted his head, "Yeah who is he?"

The worker dashed towards us and hit my arm. Woah he's fast.

"Damn thieves, I keep telling you this is not the place where you belong!"

Alina yells, "Wait, there's some sort of misunderstanding."

"Shut it, I don't want excuses, this is where I will defeat you all!"

The worker had brown short hair with yellow gloves and goggles.

Eloria pulls out her dual sword, "Challenge accepted!"

The worker dashes forward towards us Eloria quickly zooms past me and August and directly interacts with him. "Tch, there was someone this skilled within the thieves? No matter."

Suddenly he throws a bottle. Pssssss smoke gas starts to leak out.

I instantly jumped back only to hit a wall, "I can't see."

Rayth shouts, "H-help! My eyes! It stings!"

August hits my face as he also steps back, "My bad."

"Its fine, but what happend to that guy?"

When the smoke cleared Rayth and Alina both were rubbing their eyes in pain as Jasper hid behind us. Zeke and Eloria were on the ground as she seemed to be shocked, "She was no match for my stun."

Eloria stands up, with a bit of trembling, "W-what petty tick was that?"
