The World's Ego (Book 2)

Game of Tag

Third Person POV

When Feldway first arrived on the other side of the portal, he never thought that he would be thrown into the middle of a civilization. The tall buildings irritate him, and it was harder to navigate with this many life signs around him.

"Spread out and find her!"

At his order, the Elite Angels he brought with him scattered to look for Feiyun's presence. She could hide her presence, so it wasn't going to be an easy feat.

He gritted his teeth in mild anger, "I have no time for your stupid game."

And yet, he remained calm. If this was another world as he suspected, there will no doubt be some kind of military force that will start to target him. There was a brief commotion below him as he heard people running around, screaming as they saw unknown entities, his Elites, flying about, in search of Feiyun. Seeing this, only one thought crossed his mind. His hatred for humanity.

"Kill them all." He ordered again and the carnage began, "Let's see how long you'll take. If you don't come out now, I will eliminate everyone."

The streets were covered in red by now and there were still humans running about but there were still no signs of the girl. Maybe she was more heartless than he gave her credit for, and the civilization here was being used to keep herself hidden. How selfish.

"In the end, you are the same as me."

But before he could continue thinking like this, he sensed a presence and brought out his Ark, slicing away a bullet that was shot at him. Backup had arrived, even though they were already too late.

"Who are you?!" Kira demanded with her sniper gun raised at him, standing on a rooftop

How she managed to sneak past his detection and the Angels was something on the back of his mind. After all, she was a simple human.

"I don't have to tell you." Feldway said coldly, "Now get out of my sight."

She shot another bullet, which he sliced again, and he closed the gap between them. But before he could land a fatal blow, arrows rained down on him from above, forcing him to dodge. Wasting his energy for a shield would be bothersome.

"Flocking in one after another." Feldway scoffed mockingly, "Humans only know how to struggle."

Raven landed on the same rooftop, "Let's retreat, Kira. This enemy is someone we've never faced before. We can't do this alone."

Kira gave her a glance before nodding, "Okay."

"You think I will let you get away?" Feldway said as the Angels flew up to the two, "This is what happens if you try to go against me."

Raven looked around and clicked her tongue once she noticed the Angels, "Shit!"

Suddenly, lightning zips past the Angels and in an instant, Kira and Raven disappear from sight. Feldway's eyes narrowed and glanced at where the lightning dissipated.

"... Follow them."

Listening to his orders, the Angels flew after the flash of lightning but just as Feldway was about to follow, his mind flashed back to Kira.

"That woman..." He muttered under his breath, "Where have I...?"

He frowned at this. There was a feeling on the back of his mind that he had seen Kira's face before but he couldn't put a finger as to when and where.

"... Doesn't matter." Feldway scoffed, "They're insignificant but if they know Feiyun..."

With these thoughts, Feldway flew after the flash of lightning with the other Angels, only to see that they had been crashed to the ground by other figures with one man holding a familiar greatsword.
