The Infinite Story Volume 1

10. The Hidden City

In this world, it's not just empty fields; somehow, from nothing, it managed to create life. And not just any type of life, but very powerful beings. Apart from these powerful beings, there are other humanoid-like creatures and monsters. These humans have built houses, cities, and even castles.

While Jay and Blue found themselves in an open field, other members were scattered across the capital city of this reality "Hartia". Floating roads, houses ranging from medieval to modern, and a variety of structures dotted every corner.Its located inside a massive cave.  At the end of the city stood a grand castle, looming over the eclectic landscape.

"We stick out like a sore thumb!" Mar commented as he walked alongside Amantii.

"Just give me 2 minutes, okay?" she replied, her annoyance tempered by a smile.

"Oh right, you're on cooldown."

"Shut up!"

"What abilities do you have now, anyway?"

"Hm, let's see, the one that I used to heal Ema, the nullifying one, and... I can summon my spear." Amantii summoned her spear into her hand.

"Yeah yeah, now we stick out even more, plus we are armed."

"Stop right there, weapons are not allowed to be drawn out from within the city!" a guard interjected, with a whole group of guards surrounding them.

"What do we do now?" Mar raised his hands and looked at the guards.

"Well," Amantii made her spear disappear. "Might as well."

"Alright." Mar, using his infinite reach, kicked one of the guards in the face, initiating an all-out fight. Amantii launched herself towards another guard, grabbed his spear, jumped in the air, landed behind him, and threw him away using his own weapon, stealing it in the process.

"One more minute," Amantii said while throwing her spear at another guard.

"Everyone fight! Show them no mercy!" The capitan of the guards said while charging at Mar.

"Sure, I'll fight," said Mar after dodging a spear aimed for his head. He then flickered his finger while using his ability, knocking the guard that attacked him a few feet back.

Amantii sprinted towards the guard she had thrown the spear at, landing on his body, she pulled the spear out of his flesh. With a swift motion, she jumped over to another guard, landing on his back, wrapping her legs around his neck, and began choking him to death. The guard stumbled backward, colliding with a wall, which allowed Amantii to use the wall as a platform to launch herself at more guards, swiftly killing 5 of them with her spear.

Mar leaped, grabbing onto the rooftop of a nearby building to gain a better vantage point. "More are coming," he warned, scanning the area.

"25 seconds," Amantii announced, swiftly dispatching another guard with her spear.

Suddenly, Amantii found herself cornered by a group of guards and a skinny boy clad in all-white armor, with half of his face concealed. "Ah, I see. So, you're the one causing the commotion in this part of the city," the boy remarked.

"Oh my god and who the fuck are you supposed to be?" Amantii asked, puzzled.

"My name is Camilo," the boy introduced himself. "I guess your luck ran out, because I happen to be in charge of maintaining this part of our fine capital."

Mar, growing impatient, began tossing aside the guards as if they were mere toys. However, when he attempted the same with the guard who had cornered Amantii, he found himself unable to move. Camilo had touched the ground, becoming stuck to it. "So, you're the second one!" he declared.

Mar's eyes widened as he realized what had happened.

"You are not the only one who can pull off that skill," Camilo declared, pointing his hand at Mar. A white energy enveloped his hand as he reached out toward Mar, who quickly tore off Camilo's leg and went to cover behind a nearby wall.

Camilo fell to the ground.

"And, ONE!" Amantii exclaimed with excitement.

We switch to Camilo's point of view as his vision began to blur and fog. "What's this ability? I have never seen something like this happen to me before," Camilo muttered in excitement, but by then, Amantii had vanished. "I hope I see you again, young woman," Camilo muttered, glancing in Mar's direction, though he couldn't sense his presence. "Next time, I'll deal with the guy who interrupted us first!"

"And remind me to remind you not to draw that much attention next time!" Mar grumbled, his annoyance evident.

"But I love attention. Besides, none of us died," Amantii retorted proudly.

"Who was that guy anyway?" Mar's mind was still racing with questions. "I think we should find the others before we attract more unwanted attention."

"Look who's using his brain for once," Amantii said as she pulled out her phone. "I'll text Ema."
