Humanity Return

Ch. 160 – ??? and the Opening Movement

“Really?”

“Yes, he looks fine every time I see him in Mission Center. He helped us a lot the last two weeks”

“Good then”

A young man and a middle-aged man could be seen standing leaning against the city wall, looking at the night view of the already very quiet city.

The two of them were Leinn and Barnum who could magically chat very well because they already had one topic in common.

“Isla has rarely sent messages to us who are here, he has also rarely returned here during the holidays though. Sometimes I think he already doesn't like me as his father”

“What do you mean? He mentioned a few times about you when he explained what he was doing as receptionist”

“Haha... is that so?”.

Damian had just left them to look at the condition of the injured when he realized the discussion of the two of them had become very personal.

Eventually the two of them were in this place without any disturbance, seeing the other Hunter feel no need to patrol that part of the wall.

“Yes, I also feel confused why I didn't realize your identity sooner. You two really look like”

“Oh...! Of course!”

Barnum let out a laugh after hearing that, not expecting the young man in front of him to think that way. He was actually slightly injured whenever someone saw the two of them next to each other and said that if they were not similar, seeing Isla taking most of his apparently from his wife.

Leinn looked oblivious to that and just swung his left hand.

“The feelings you're showing are completely identical. Maybe I didn't realize it because it was a little sidetracked by-hm?”

“What's up..?”

...

Leinn did not reply and continued to stare towards the stack of Beasts in the distance with a serious expression, precisely staring at what was far behind those thousands of Beasts. The expression on his face turned extremely cold when he realized what he had just seen at this moment, who was also aware of Leinn's gaze.

An extremely tall giant robed silhouette, which was up to being able to fill the night sky with his body. Standing up while showing the two long claws coming out from behind his purple robe, which had already extended to meet the horizon line like wanting to tear apart the surrounding meadows and mountains.

“Leinn...?”

Barnum looking in the same direction seemed to show no reaction, as if the giant creature was completely invisible to him.

Leinn only turned his head for a moment to look at Barnum's expression before looking back at the silhouette in the distance, which had already obtained a face behind his cloak.

The face is formed by a long crescent-shaped piece with a gray light as its mouth, which extends to the side of the two pitch-black holes where the eyeball should be.

The creature was seen starting to tremble like it was laughing while staring at Leinn who had already started to twist the Mana in his body.

“Hah..”.

Leinn let out a tired sigh before finally closing his eyes, as well as relaxing his body. After a few seconds had passed, he had just opened his eyes and the creature had already disappeared without a trace.

Barnum who saw the behavior immediately realized there was something strange and began to ask the condition of the young man in front of him.

“It's okay..”

Leinn finally shook his head and asked Barnum to leave him alone, which the man finally granted after he realized something had changed from the young man's atmosphere.

The night finally passed without any problems, at least in the eyes of all the residents of the city.

...

The city wall, the next day.

“So what is the situation?”

“Why did you come so fast!”

Two young men could be seen standing face to face, with one of them looking extremely displeased.

“Aren't you supposed to come in the last seconds and give a state-of-the-art reversing attack.”.

“Stop your bullshit. Situation, now”

The two of them were none other than Leinn who looked still unhappy, and Roland who had just arrived with the sunrise. The two of them managed to come to the attention of everyone in the city, considering that they both already had a reputation that was not small.

“Hah... so look at..”.

Leinn began to explain what she had done the day before to Roland who was listening to her seriously. He also explains about his brilliant plan-His

“Cannot”

“What do you mean ‘cannot’! Are you hurt?”

“No, but I had a little distraction yesterday.”.

This time it was Roland who told her what happened the day before.

The two of them were the last two people of their Party who had indeed obtained the two farthest cities as their part, but it turned out that an emergency situation had occurred in their first city.

A large number of Frog Beasts and Fish Beasts that were not included in the second wave suddenly came out of the large lake near the city and were already attacking the city wall, which was already, making Roland who had the element of lightning become more suitable to overcome it.

After Leinn parted ways with him, Roland immediately slid down and gave one big strike to the center of that group of Frog Beasts, burning hundreds of them at once. With a few follow-up attacks and help from the Hunter on the wall, the Frog Beast's attack was successfully halted.

Before they could celebrate, a second wave could instantly be seen in the distance and Roland immediately flew there without further ado. He gathered his manpower and launched his great attack once again to the leading Beast in the group.

This was the mistake Roland had made.

“Hm..”

Although Roland managed to finish off 500 to 600 Beasts at once, it caused the other Beasts to instantly flee in all directions other than that city. Some of those directions are villages that should be safe because the second wave only focused their attention on 8 cities.

So he spent even more energy chasing and clearing all those Beasts until they reached a harmless size.

“So now, I'm running out of power”

“Yang is right..”.

Leinn scratched his head for a while before finally sighing tiredly, then looking towards the Beast batch in the distance. He could see the movements of those who had already become much more powerful than the night before.

“Means we can only survive for now”

“Ya”

“Leinn, Azure” Young Master

Barnum suddenly appeared near them after climbing the stairs along with several others wearing the same uniform, who were seen hugging several different objects.

They then placed all the items they were carrying in front of Leinn and Roland, who began to check on his condition.

“This is everything?”

“Yes, this is all you ask from this city. Some of them are from Hunter who still can not join the fight.” One of the men in uniform nodded his head and gave a clear answer.

Leinn lifted his gaze from the items and looked at the face of the person in front of him.

“They know their weapons might not come back?”

“Ya”

Leinn saw the man in uniform nod his head again and smiled slightly, then turned his head towards Roland who also nodded his head.

“It's quite”

Roland grabbed the weapon beside him and saw what Leinn was looking at right now.

The sight was none other than some Beasts of the greatest size who were starting to wake up and were looking towards them with extremely savage gazes.

“Welp”

Leinn also grabbed the weapon beside him, then began to calculate the distance between them and the frontmost Beast with Roland beside him who had already started to emit lightning sparks.

Whoongs...

The two young men started to give off a very different atmosphere than before, forcing everyone around them to gulp and hold their breath.

The two weapons in their hands reflected the morning sunlight, then began to be enveloped with a thin Mana layer...

“We time..”.

“...slightly serious”

The purple mana that coated the great arc and the golden Mana that coated the long spear.

Both look pretty gripping.
