Chapter 50

'Human Blood' Jack thought almost instantly as he swerved his head to look in the direction from which the smell was coming from.

Just a moment before, Jack had been enjoying the breeze as he ran through the forest, even enjoying its beauty.

And now, merely a second later, it had all vanished.

The once pleasant forest now exuded an eerie aura as the smell of fresh blood permeated throughout its entirety.

'Do I go ahead and check it out or do I simply leave' Jack questioned himself, the decision was made quickly however and Jack started heading towards the source of the bloody smell.

Trying to be as silent as possible, Jack stopped breathing, as a cold one he had never needed to breathe but it had been something ingrained into him from when he was a human.

Jack stepped carefully each time, trying not to make the slightest of noises.

Even with all these precautions, Jack's movement speed wasn't affected much and he was heading towards the smell's source at a quick pace.

The closer he got, the more he smelled the blood, until finally, Jack stopped right behind a tree.

In front of said tree was a small clearing of sorts.

Peeking out of it, Jack tried to maintain stealth however the sight before him made it much harder.

The clearing was small and only had grass on it however that was only on normal days it seemed as if the sight that greeted Jack was grass completely drenched in blood and human arms and legs strewn across the clearing.

Counting each appendage quickly, Jack came to a horrifying realization.

'Twenty-seven people, at least twenty-seven' Jack thought as he looked at the macabre scene, if he had a heart Jack knew for a fact that it would have been hammering hard in his chest.

'I have to get out of here' Jack thought immediately after before taking a few quick steps behind him.

It was at this moment that Jack heard sounds from the other side of the small clearing causing Jack to stop his actions immediately and enter a frozen state.

Two sets of footsteps were coming closer and closer.

Finally, Jack heard one of the two people, Monsters? he didn't know what they were but they sounded humanlike as they voiced their thoughts.

"Why the hell did Captain send us, he could have just sent Charlotte." One of the voices said, finally appearing in the clearing.

Looking at the person, Jack quickly tried to memorize the image in his head.

However, he didn't use observation.

'Observe can fail and cause the person to know that they're being observed. I don't know just how strong these guys are, it's best not to take any chances' Jack thought as he looked at the man.

With white hair that went down to his shoulders, pulled up in a ponytail, and eyes as black as the abyss, with sharp features and wearing a white classical shirt and black suit pants held up by a belt, the man looked otherwordly.

'He's not human' Jack thought almost immediately after he finished observing the man's appearance.

A moment later, another person appeared in the clearing.

This time it was a woman with long luscious black hair that went all the way to her knees, with completely white eyes that made her look as if she was blind and similarly sharp features on her face, the woman looked similarly otherworldly just as the man did.

In fact, she looked even weirder, her beauty was unquestionable as she wore a long black dress that suited her looks well but didn't suit the location at all.

'Just who are these guys' Jack thought as he looked at the two strangers.

"Don't talk like that about the captains, we are just here to follow the orders of Adam." The woman said, her voice sounding almost ethereal as she shifted her head toward the man slightly.

After a moment, the man nodded, not saying another word before both of them raised their hands toward the carnage of blood before them.

'What are they doing?' Jack thought before his brain quickly came up with many possible reasons.

'A blood ritual? Some other kind of magic or maybe a sacrifice to an evil deity?' Jack thought however he couldn't come to a conclusion with the little amount of information that he had.

Finally, the two mysterious people started chanting under their breaths.

Jack with his super senses could hear everything however the strangeness didn't seem to stop at the two appearances.

'I can hear everything but I can't comprehend a single word' Jack thought as he stood behind a tree, his arms faintly shaking every so often.

Waiting there, Jack heard the chanting for minutes on end until it stopped abruptly.

Turning his head slowly, Jack looked back toward the clearing.

'What!' Jack's mind shook as his eyes widened whilst looking at the clearing.

The grass had regained its green color and the soil underneath it had also turned brown once more, losing the viscous blood that had permeated it.

The human limbs had similarly disappeared without a single trace just like the two otherworldly beings had.

'What the fuck was that?' Jack thought to himself however he didn't move a single inch from where he stood, in fact, he stood there silent for more than an hour, simply looking at the clearing.

Finally, Jack moved, however, he didn't come close to the clearing, instead, he moved away in a hurry, running with his entire supernatural speed, trying to get as far away and as fast as he could from the location.

Meanwhile, back at the clearing, the air seemed to glitch out as it started distorting and the very space started converging upon itself.

A moment later, the green grass and brown soil were once more replaced by the macabre scene.

The man had a smile on his face as he looked at the tree where Jack had been hidden.

"He was quite cautious." 

"He was, however, his presence is ultimately unimportant, we must carry on with our task." The woman said, still holding her hands up toward the middle of the clearing.

"Right, should I get rid of him after we're finished here?" The man said before asking the woman.

The ethereal-looking woman didn't respond vocally, merely shaking her head.
