Bird's View

"So you meant that the Peerless Awakener inside talks to the boss for 20 minutes straight?" The Man asked with his eyebrow arcing upward.

"It indeed happened." The General nodded his head.

"What are the other things that you noticed besides that strange occurrence?" The man asked.

He decided not to dwell more on the possible topic they talked about. If the Peerless Awakener inside was still alive when the milky white wall emerged, then he could ask about it. Furthermore, his instinct tells him there was more to this than meets the eye.

"Strange occurrence…" The General contemplated.

"I think it was the Peerless Awakener's reaction when the boss used the power, which eventually made the wall appear," said the General after brainstorming.

"Oh? What expression he made?" The man felt he hit a bullseye.

"I think instead of fear… It was like... excited?" The General was still not sure before his eyes lit up.

"I think instead of despair, his face was full of hope!"

The moment that sentence entered his ears. The man's eyebrows furrowed. Why did he give a hopeful expression when the boss used his domain attacks? Although I'm positive that the Peerless Awakener was still alive, given that the boss did not kill him under the soldier's eye. It was still unnatural for him to show that kind of expression, thought the Man.

His facial expression was concealed by the black helmet, which made anyone did not saw his confused expression. However, the people beside him feel it, but they only keep quiet.

"I see," said the Man.

He walked past them with his comrade following behind him. The pile of bodies, who were asleep lying on the ground, made their path bumpy. However, it did not become trouble for them, as they stepped over the bodies and walked in a casual manner. The General felt vexed in his mind and thought, 'That's my soldiers, for fucking sake!'

However, he could only complain in his mind but showed a forced smile. When the Leo troops finally stood before the milky white, the man leading the group opened his mouth and said, "Stand by on your position. If something unusual occurs, don't forget to report it to us when we will come back. If push comes to shove, call the Government headquarters and ask for assistance."

The man wanted to be cautious and always look at the broader perspective. No one knows what would happen to them when they entered the Dimensional zone, but one thing was for sure. Was that they must not underestimate an S-Grade Dimensional zone even if it was not confirmed. After all, what made the Peerless Awakener than to be helpless against the boss from the General report?

"Leave it to me!" The General responded with a stern expression.

If this group, who had the power to topple every awakener on their path, and of course except for those Saint Stage Awakeners, made them wary about the Dimensional zone. How could he slack off of his job?

"Men!" The General shouted and garnered everyone who was still awake attention.

"Look out for the Dimensional zone surrounding diameter, and don't hesitate to report if something unusual happens through the communicator device.

Please bear in mind not to close the distance between yourselves and that gigantic wall by less than five kilometers. Do not forget not to stare at it too much!" The General strictly reminded them.

He then suggested, "It's better to use the vision equipment for the better resistance of letting your mind be affected by that wall.

"That's all!"

The soldiers immediately dispersed and scattered over to their respective position. They listened to their General's reminders and did not close to the surrounding milky white wall for ten kilometers just in case. They each used their Awakened supernatural powers, while some used trucks to surround the seven miles diameter Dimensional Zone.

"Fuck! Why do we need to cover ourselves with this useless protective equipment? Did they really think that this is of use to us?!" One of the people in Leon's troop complained.

He was at the furthest back in the group when he entered. Hence, when he fully entered the Dimensional zone, he did not hesitate first to take out the helmet while puffing some breath. His face was covered with sweat, as one look on his face. Anyone would already outline his figure. He seemed to spend much time in a gym, for how bulky he was.

"With that small amount of intelligence in your bulky brain. You will not and cannot understand why they insisted on covering our body so much," said another, in which the voice appeared to be feminine.

She took out her black helmet, and her silky, smooth, blonde hair fluttered as they came out of the cage. It gently settles down on her back after a few twists and turns, and the fragrance emitted from her hair slithered and entered the nose of the people near her.

The bulky man, which was enraged earlier, immediately calmed down and savored the scent of the girl's hair, and he was not the only exemption except to the leader, who appeared indifferent about it.

"Settle down Denzel and Faye. Please bear in mind that we are not in a mood to play around," said the Man sternly while he stopped. "Look around you. Can you all see over half a kilometers distance? Or did the milky white fog obscure your vision more than that distance?" he asked.

"Now that you mention it. It indeed hard to see more than half kilometers," said the man beside him. "Why don't you use your bird's eye, Kestrel?" he suggested.

"Soul Power, first stage First phase, Bird's view," muttered the man. His name was Kestrel, which was a name similar to the bird from the genus Falco.

His eyes, which were the color white with black at the center suddenly changed. The black iris suddenly expanded, almost devouring the white part of the eye. It almost made the black iris occupy the eye, for almost 80% alongside the other eye. With his eyelids, it was hard to find the white Sclera.

"Did you see anything?"

"Calm down, Kiran. I had just activated my soul power. I'm still yet exploring all the areas," replied Kestrel, and a sigh came out of his mouth. "I can only see two kilometers in a distance but not enough yet. I see nothing." He shook his head.

"I see. What should we do?" Kiran asked.

The final say was always to the Kestrel, which was the leader of the group. However, Kiran was close to him and was always casual with Kestrel, which the latter did not mind. After all, the bond between the leader and the members, the superior and inferior must not exist to them.

"Let's walk then. The radius of the dimensional zone should have not surpassed three or four miles." Kestrel replied.

The other members nodded in agreement. They have no problem with that. After Kestrel saw them agreeing with his suggestions, he took a step forward and walked over a distance. While Kestrel being meticulous with his bird's view was still functioning, the other members were hushing each other.

It did not long before Kestrel saw something from his perspective, and he could not help but stop while startled.

"What's wrong?" Faye asked, concerned.
