Chapter 62 Set

Within the sand dunes outside the city, an aircraft seemingly manifested from nowhere. Inside is Morgan, Amber, and finally, Celine.

Morgan swiftly grabbed a bag from underneath one of the seats, pulled out a shirt, and threw it at Celine.

Celine used her tanned, muscular arms, and caught the shirt mid-air before streching it out. She looked at white blouse in her grasp, and onto Morgan's shirt that seemed oddly reminiscent.

"Is there anything else?" Celine asked.

Morgan turned her head towards, and looked at her with her emotionless eyes and said. "Be thankful that I even lent you one of mine."

Celine placed the blouse on one of her hands, and pressed her other hand just below her neck which then travelled downwards onto her chest and into her abdomen.

The way her hands moved made it clear that underneath her cloak, lies a pair of large mountains and a beautifully shaped body.

Celine then said with an arrogant smile. "I don't know, but something tells me... some parts are lacking."

Celine then focused her eyes onto Morgan's modest chest. Celine then added. "If you don't eat well, those won't grow larger. And then, you'll die alone."

Morgan's blank face remained expressionless as she reached out for the blouse in Celine's grasp while saying. "Hand it back."

Celine's face formed a face of extreme distress as she pulled the blouse away from Morgan while yelling. "No! This is mine now!"

Morgan lowered her hand and said. "If you won't be grateful, then return it." Morgan then drew the bow, that is always in her hand, and pointed it at Celine fully drawn.

Celine slowly put the blouse into her cloak, raised both of her bare fist and entered her stance.

Celine then blew air out of her mouth, and just then, black translucent liquid that seemed to defy gravity, came out of her body and concentrated itself into her fists.

Morgan and Celine then squared off while on the sidelines, Amber could only watch as she was frozen in fear.

Before Morgan or Celine made their move, Amber took a deep breath, calmed her shaking legs, and ran in between Celine and Morgan.

"S-stop it! ...Please?" Amber shouted while still looking very scared.

The two grown women then stared down at Amber, making her feel very insignificant.

After three seconds of pure torture for Amber, Morgan and Celine withdrew. Morgan loosened her bow while the fluid on Celine's fists evaporated as she lowered her arms.

Morgan said mononously. "If things stay the same for longer, the people that protect you from receiving an arrow in the head, will eventually stop."

Celine formed an arrogant smirk before she said. "Heh, one of these days, no one will be there to stop me from punching through your abdomen."

The two women then stared at each once more, looking like they're about to fight for real.

Between them, Amber stood looking very intimidated.

Celine let out a snort and pointed at the door while saying. "Leave while I change. Since your heart won't be able to take it, when you see my body."

Morgan stared at Celine blankly for a couple of seconds before she said to Amber. "Come on, Amber."

Morgan then grabbed Amber's hand and began making their way out of the ship. Amber, who was following her sighed a sigh of relief.

Before completely leaving the ship, Morgan said with her back turned to Celine. "I'll camoflauged the ship and head for town immediately. Close the doors and your free to leave for wherever you want."

"Hmph...!" Celine replied only with a cold snort as Morgan and Amber left her alone.

Celine stood there silently for a couple of seconds, making sure Morgan and Amber left.

The arrogant feeling from Celine disappeared as her face turned neutral. She then unhinged her cloak, revealing her tanned, muscular yet feminine body.

On her body are tathered clothes that looks like they were sent through a great fire, the burned off parts reveal her the tan lines on her hourglass figure.

Celine looked at the blouse Morgan gave her before taking off her own shirt, revealing her topless body for the world to see.

The tanlines that outlined her body, her breasts that makes every man and woman turn their heads, her muscles that some degenerates might want to be crushed by, and her long, orange-brown, wavy hair rolling down her back.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the aircraft, blowing Celine's gorgeous hair to the side. With the hair out of the way, Celine's back is fully revealed.

On her muscular back are, two parallel scars that run on her upper back surrounded by odd looking tan lines that suggest that something was there.

Feeling the breeze on her back, Celine reached for her back and gently touched the scars on her back. While she did so, she looked extremely pained and looked like she's on the verge of breaking down.

Celine stayed this way for a while, looking like she was reliving some awful memories.

Inside the town, within the basement of a mansion, a man has every limb chained to the wall with his right arm completely encassed in metal.

The metal sheet covering his eyes prevented him from seeing the small lamp that illuminated the room.

The light from the lamp bounched off the man's pink braided hair, his bronze skin, and his muscular body that is wrapped in bandages and injuries.

Suddenly, the wall in the room the man was tied up slowly, and silently crumbled down.

After the dust slowly settled, a man stood before a tunnel that leads from the man's room to somewhere else.

The man from the tunnel silently entered the room, and stared at the chained up man with his golden eyes. The man from the tunnel was of course, Chrys.

Chrys just silently stood before the chained man as the man said. "I'll never surrender..."

To which Chrys replied. "It's me."

The man raised an eyebrow upon hearing Chrys' voice. The man then asked. "Goldie?"

Chrys let out a sigh and said. "You know my name."

The man calmly replied. "Yes, I do know your name. Now, let me out."

Chrys said nothing else and just casually freed the man from the chains that bound him by just touching the chains.

After he was done freeing the man, apart from the metal encasing his right arm. Chrys gave the metal sheet on the man's eyes a little tap.

The metal sheet then fell to the ground, revealing the man's red colored eyes. The man, who is a bit taller than Chrys, stared down at him with his calm, red eyes.

The man then moved his right arm, which is still encased in metal, infront of Chrys and calmly said. "Free me completely."

Chrys then quickly replied. "No, if I let you out completely, you'll go and attack the Immortals."

The man then calmly said. "I see... now then, who are those two supposed to be?" The man pointed at the tunnel where Chrys came from.

Chrys looked at the tunnel and said. "They're new. Miya, Rose, get out here."

From within the darkness of the tunnel emerged two young girls with guilty looking expressions.

The man, with his right arm still wrapped in metal, gave the girls a courtious bow and said. "Hello, my name is Set."

Somewhat shocked by Set's courtious behavior, Rose and Miya hurriedly introduced themselves.

"M-my name is Miya."

"And my name is Rose."

"I see... Miya... Rose..." Set calmly said while looking at the two girls with his red eyes.

Chrys walked towards the tunnel while saying. "We already met up with Celine. Let's go."

Set calmly looked at him and calmly said. "I see..."

As they walked down the tunnel with Chrys in front, as he was the one with a golden ball of light floating behind, while Miya, Rose and finally, Set followed silently from behind.

After a while of walking, Chrys, Miya, and Rose heard an noise coming from behind them. It sounded like metal hitting something hard.

Miya and Rose looked back to see what was happening, but Chrys said without turning around. "Stop trying to set yourself free, Set. The rocks around us aren't enough to break that metal they placed on you."

Set took his metal wrapped right arm away from the wall of the tunnel and said. "I see..."

Miya let out a little giggle before turning her head forwards and continued on walking.

Rose did the same, but in her head, she thought. "I guess everyone who joins this group has weird side to them... But does that make us?!"

After walking down the tunnel with Set occasionally hitting a rock on the side, the girls saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

The two girls ran ahead and reached for the end of the tunnel while Set calmly walked behind Chrys.

Chrys' eyebrow raised a bit. A second later, he furrowed his eyebrow, placed his hand on the wall beside him, and shouted down the tunnel. "Run away, Morgan!"

His echo travelled down the tunnel past Miya and Rose, who looked back at him in confusion, and up the staircase, that is situated inside a building.

Inside the building, Morgan and Amber, who was waiting patiently for their return, got startled after hearing Chrys' voice.

Almost immediately, Morgan grabbed Amber while holding her bow on the other. She immediately made a dash for the door, but when she opened it, someone was standing on the otherside.

It was a woman with a tanned and muscular body. Her figure was enough to make everyone turn their head. Her long, green hair complemented her beautiful face and outfit.

On her face, a pair of glasses hung infront of her eyes. Eyes with pupils the color of an amethyst and sclera, the white of the eye, the color of the night sky, pitch black. It was an Immortal.

Morgan let go of Amber, and drew her bow and pointed it at the woman. The woman released a confident smile, and raised her fist which is surrounded by a black translucent liquid that seem to defy gravity.

Before any of them could attack, a spike made from earth, shot towards the Immortal at an incredible speed.

The Immortal quickly blocked it with her fist that was covered with the liquid.

Upon coming into contact with each other, the liquid on the Immortal's fist emerged victorious as the earth spike crumbled due to the impact.

Even though the earth spike didn't manage to damage the Immortal, she was still sent to the said because of the impact.

With her vision cleared after the Immortal was sent away, Morgan looked out the door and saw a bunch of women, running on top of the rooftops and on the street, all heading towards them.

All of them had the same features like the others with them. Tanned skin, confident smiles, beautiful faces, muscular bodies, a black translucent liquid on their body, and scleras the color of the night sky.

Morgan simply gazed upon them with her emotionless expression.
