A Mysterious Existence

While the leader was still processing and trying to recover, a killing intent emerged and instantly killed two of his followers.

The most scary thing was that, it had no intention of stopping and was moving towards him only.

The leader could see a line of red light moving rapidly in his direction. Whatever came in its way, was destroyed by the red line into pieces.

He shuddered and started running after turning back. Unknown to him, the red line thickened as he neared Stefan's house. Just when the leader wanted to turn his head to take a glimpse of the situation, he felt a sharp pain in his ankles and fell to the ground heavily, sending out a cloud of dust.

...

Realizing that someone was present around five hundred meters from his house, Stefan quickly stepped out and hid behind a thick tree.

There was no other way, Heli said, that the protection of the house was only free for twenty-four hours. Now that it was about to expire, he could only come out to stop the danger from reaching his house.

After all, Li was still there in his house, and if he still insisted on staying, the invisibility function would only expire earlier. Stefan, just like any elder brother, wanted his younger brother to be away from any kind of danger.

  ''Ahhh!!!!!'', the leader shouted in pain. After gaining some consciousness, he realized that the red line of light stood just a few meters ahead of him. It has stopped moving now as if everything earlier was his illusion.

But the leader knew it could not be an illusion because he still felt a terrifying pressure and, excluding this, the thick red line never disappeared, if his eyes were not deceiving him, his toes were missing and dripping with blood.

He looked back, only to see no one in sight. Not even his companions were visible, as far as his eyes could see. The leader stopped his unnecessary thoughts and focused on his current situation.

The thick line of red moved again, and before the leader could chant any spell for protection, the speed suddenly increased and the line got divided into two, cutting straight through the leader's body.

After the line achieved its goal by killing the leader, it continued to move forward.

Just as it passed through the tree where Stefan was hiding, a miracle took place. The tree was cut into three even pieces, but Stefan stood there unscathed.

Before the red line appeared near him, Stefan vaguely felt that this thing would not be able to injure him. In fact, he felt a sense of nostalgia seeing the red line, as if he knew what it was and who was behind this.

When the tree was cut, Stefan was ready to be unscathed but, when the line really came near him, he did not know that on the back of his neck appeared a symbol of a cheetah shining with golden light. The golden light flashed, and a transparent bubble appeared around Stefan for some time, which he naturally couldn't see.

When the danger passed, it disappeared just like that.

Heli was aware of this anomaly, but he did not take any action, because he knew what the situation was. The cheetah is the symbol of a higher system, and he knows that to perform 'that' task, the main system must have activated protection for his host.

After all, no matter, what happens, Stefan's background is so deep that even the main god was unwilling to meddle in his affairs.

....

On the other side, Esha was moving forward in the totally opposite direction of Stefan. She had no idea that the people she was going to teach a lesson, were not even alive anymore. It took only ten minutes for her to reach the vicinity of her kingdom, but she was confused for some time, as she did not intend to arrive here first at all.

.....

Stefan was unaware of the bubble present around him, all his attention was present in front of him on the red line.

At this moment, the red line, probably realizing that it has missed something, stopped and gradually converged into a red misty figure.

The misty figure floated toward Stefan, stopped a few centimetres away from him and observed Stefan from its not so obvious eyes.

After seeing Stefan, the figure stretched out his hand and tried to touch Stefan's face. Just as his hand was about to touch his face, Stefan took a step backwards in surprise.

'Who is this? Why do I feel that we have some connection?'

'Impossible... After all, I just arrived in this world not too long ago, so how is it possible for me to have any connection to this shadow', Stefan thought in surprise.

Even he was surprised on how he didn't get scared from this red misty figure...

The figure paused his hands in the midair and left a red ball of haze towards Stefan, which instantly turned golden after Stefan touched it.

The moment Stefan touched the haze, the mark appeared for the second time on the back of his neck. Instantly, the red haze changed its color to golden.

The misty figure, after processing the change, 'looked' towards Stefan and stroked Stefan's head, which he did not avoid this time.

Stefan... he still felt absurdly. He felt that the figure was showing 'affection' towards him.

Once again a voice full of authority sounded, ''Bring him back to his existence.....''

Heli was surprised to find that the moment the hazy figure gave this instruction, the main mission was generated for him!

Heli knew very well that the main mission bought dangers and opportunities together with it. So, although he felt scared, there was a secret excitement in his voice.

''Yes'', he whispered, and the red hazy figure disappeared.

Heli was very excited to accept this mission. As, he knew that only few systems could chance upon this type of mission, because they were very rare.

...

DING! DING! DING!
