Escape

Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds came after the terrible thing happened.

Jonathan could hear ambulance sirens and police cars around his house.

Of course, the mysterious shock wave explosion that occurred a moment ago, the explosion that managed to make many lives gone at once, was assumed to be a natural phenomenon.

Because, indeed, in that city, nature was unpredictable.

"Open your eyes, Nessie. It's over." Jonathan lifted the little girl's body and hugged her tightly.

It felt as if he hadn't touched her for a long time, and he felt the warmth from her petite body.

Not knowing what was really hidden inside her small body, Jonathan had only one thing bothering him at this time, the house was no longer safe.

Although he loved the house where he grew up since childhood,... at this time, the house seemed to have been marked by otherworldly creatures.

Jonathan looked at the pair of beautiful brown eyes of the girl questioningly.

He was curious about what the creatures wanted from the little girl.

Was it because of her hidden mysterious power? But what power was that?

"Arghhh …"

Black Rose groaned and tried to get up from where she lay unconscious.

Jonathan immediately brought Nerissa to the woman and helped her to sit down.

Slowly but surely, Black Rose opened her eyes. And at the same time... A miracle happened.

The wounds she got over her body slowly closed back to normal without leaving a mark. Her body seemed to regenerate.

"What happened?" asked Black Rose hoarsely. But from the way she spoke, Jonathan was sure that she was already fine.

Black Rose has made it through the critical period of remaining energy weakness due to appearing to Morting for too long.

At this time, her energy has returned to normal. Although she missed a lot of things that happened in the backyard of the house, at least now she can go back to using her magic power.

Starting from the magic of healing her injuries. Jonathan told what happened to Black Rose, and summarized everything in one story.

Just saying the name of the fairy queen in the incident that caused severe damage to the place, Black Rose stiffened.

Her pupils trembled again as if in disbelief.

"There must be something wrong. The Holy Queenie is an independent queen. She has no connection whatsoever with The Absolute Evil." Black Rose said as if trying to deny reality.

However, Jonathan was not stupid.

He knew that the woman with the sweetest blood he had ever tasted wanted his beautiful daughter.

And he also remembered that the Holy Queenie had muttered something related to The Absolute Evil.

"Your queen has betrayed. It seems that she has become one of his followers," Jonathan said, disagreeing with Black Rose's assumption.

Black Rose looked at him with an unhappy look.

The word Jonathan said offended her.

However, before she said anything... Nerissa stretched out her two tiny hands and quietly touched Black Rose's face.

The little girl's warm hands made Black Rose seem hypnotized and didn't know what to say.

"Do you know why they want Nessie?" asked Jonathan, genuinely curious.

Slowly... The pain all over his body seemed to disappear.

Although he didn't use the costly Body Regeneration skill, however... His body seemed to be self-medicating from within.

Black Rose shook her head. She was not lying. Actually, she began to wonder why the Immortals were after Nerissa.

Especially those followers of The Absolute Evil.

"We should leave this place soon," Jonathan said at the end.

He could hear the siren sound of the police car getting closer and closer.

He didn't want to explain what really happened to the police.

Because after all, even though Jonathan spoke honestly in his story...

Those policemen couldn't possibly believe it. They would probably take Jonathan to a psychiatrist and get a mental examination.

"Where are we going?" asked Black Rose, looking a little objected. "why?"

At this time, Nerissa also looked at Jonathan with her head tilted slightly as if waiting for an answer from him.

Jonathan exhaled a long breath.

The one name that came to mind was only his brother. However, what if those mythical creatures were after him too? What if his brother and his brother's family were in danger because of him?

Jonathan clenched both fists.

"They will come again soon. We'd better not stay longer here. What if the one who comes next is much stronger?" Jonathan looked at Black Rose's shiny green eyes.

Black Rose was just silent.

"Nessie is in danger. Do you have any acquaintances of fairies or other immortals who can provide information about why they want Nessie?" Jonathan asked expectantly.

"Or... Do you have any mortal, immortal, or anyone else we can stay with for a while?" he asked, trying to be specific so that Black Rose could understand him.

Black Rose looked speechless.

But it was obvious that she was thinking as if trying to remember.

Jonathan could hear the noise from the police, who started walking around his neighbor's house. And that made him uneasy.

He got up to his feet and put Nerissa down.

Walking back and forth before making decisions that he might regret in the future.

"We should go now." He said in the end.

Black Rose tilted her head, but Jonathan left the woman and Nerissa behind.

He went inside the house and ran to get three of his best raincoats before running into the house's shade.

Looking for something that can be used as a weapon, just in case.

Although this time he could make weapons with his own blood, but... Weapons that did not require sacrifice were still necessary.

Jonathan collected golf clubs, kitchen knives, machetes, broken and slightly rusty iron poles, hurl sticks, and last one was a box of matches.

After all, some immortals could not be killed easily. He remembered that killing vampires required fire.

Jonathan put aside his revenge for a while and focused on the current time.

"We are leaving now."

In a hurry, Jonathan picked up Nerissa and carried all his luggage in one go.

Black Rose decided to transform into a raven and pecked on Jonathan's shoulder.

Just as Jonathan was about to walk to the front of his house to pick up his car... He saw three men in police uniforms on their way to his house.

"Damn."

Jonathan turned around and decided to take the back road. He gave up his car for the good of himself and his daughter.

Behind Jonathan's house... Ten meters away was a natural forest.

And Jonathan had no other idea but to run and hide in that forest for a while.

"Dadda." Nerissa whined as if she didn't like Jonathan's idea.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. I'll get stronger for you, Nessie. We have no choice."
