The After World Breaker

Chapter 40: The hut in the middle of the forest

"Stop there!" Shouted Allenz while chasing from the sky.

The three people ran through the city, passing by some people there who were panicking at the sight of the pursuit.

Allenz attacks from above, but their speed makes it difficult for him when his magic hits them. Several soldiers also came to try to help stop them, one of them who did not bring the schoolgirls to throw something at the soldiers in front of them.

The soldiers were shocked to learn of the object thrown by one of the men. "Bombs!"

The soldiers then dodged, along with the bomb being thrown exploding, making a loud noise at the place, smoke billowing in the place. With that smoke they tried to remove their tracks.

But, Allenz once again attacked them, and tried to get close. Along with the arrival of Zen, he brought a motorbike that he could find out where.

"I'm coming to help!"

Allenz then gives a plan to stop them, and do not let them out of the city. Zen by riding his motorbike, he pulled out his gun, while aiming at him saying. "I came when the prince told me there was chaos in the princess dormitory. He also said you were after these guys."

Allenz heard Zen's words, and asked them not to lose track of them. The pursuit of the two even almost to the city door. On passing through the city door, Allenz asked for them to hurry, at the same time, several monsters appeared that were blocking them.

Inevitably they had to engage with the monsters, making them lose track of those people.

"Damn! We lost them!"

"Give it to me." Zen uses access programs, he uses satellites to monitor from above. His headphones covered half his face, bringing up the screen, with a satellite camera he was able to see from above. "I found them, they were riding in a chariot."

"Where?"

Zen then pulled the motor gas, and followed by Allenz who took the bike. Entering deeper into the forest, while avoiding the trees, and the path they are not good, because sometimes there are tree roots or steep soil.

While they were chasing, Allenz asked Zen where he got this bike from. "Ras, where did you get this bike?"

"Oh this?  This is another transformation of my suitcase, I also just found out yesterday. Although, it can only be turned into a motor, most of these suitcases can only change their shape into a weapon." Obviously Zen.

"Good, with this we can go faster." Said Allenz, Zen then drove faster. They were aided by the program, Zen followed that direction. They even entered the forest deeper.

At a place in the middle of the forest, the mysterious people stopped at a hut, their carriage stopped there. Put down the two girls they got, and put them in a room to lock them up.

At the same time, another train also came carrying several village girls and children. They put the children in the same place with Isla. The children cried making Isla and the schoolgirl woke up to the sound of crying from the children.

Isla is surprised that she is in a place that is foreign to her. In front of her, the village girls tried to calm the little ones who kept crying.

The student who was carried away with Isla, she shouted to be released from there, she kept shouting. However, no one came to their place.

Outside the hut, mysterious people were gathering, counting how many people they could get and how many people returned. One of them said that while trying to bring students into the academy, they lost a number of members, due to the arrival of two students who attacked them.

One of them spoke to the other, "We must quickly bring all these girls and children."

"Wait for the others to come." Reply to another.

Before long, the last carriage came, carrying three small children, while trying to stop the horse. The driver who was carrying the car was shot in the neck, causing him to fall from the carriage.

People there became vigilant. "We're being followed!"

"There's attack!"

Another shot came, killing the others. They were confused, just the sounds they heard. However, the direction of the shooting was unknown to them. Whistling sounds appeared, filling their surroundings. The arrival of the sound confused them, with the still mysterious aftershots coming from nowhere.

Before long, the whistling sound was no longer heard, making them pay attention around. Because of the night, their visibility was difficult to see, only with the torches they brought to illuminate their view.

Suddenly the two people there split in two instantly, making them even more panicked. Someone else even lost his head and lost his leg.

The commotion outside made Isla realize, that outside the middle there was a commotion. He and the student who was carried with him shouted as loudly as they could, hoping that the person outside heard their voices.

From behind the bush, Zen calmly took aim, he was watching the panic of the people, refuting a sniper with a silencer to minimize the sound that came out when shooting.

Across Zen, Allenz also hid behind a tree, whistling softly, and giving a sudden attack by manipulating the wind around. They gave attacks in turn, leaving the people confused.

Until, they attack arbitrarily, hoping that the person who attacks them is exposed to the magic they shot. Until, some people split up and try to find who attacked them in the forest, and might just hide near them.

Newly searching, a huge wind pushed them not to enter the forest, making them only able to be in the middle in front of the hut. Not letting them go anywhere.

Not knowing the origin of the attack, one man there was about to go into the hut, and hide there. Zen looked at the person, he calmly pointed his scope at the person, and pulled the trigger, the bullet shot and penetrated at the back of the person's head, dropping it right in front of the door.

Where when the man came in, in front of them was the room where Isla and the others were locked up. The girl in front of the door screamed to see someone trying to get in and die at the door. Isla tried to see from the gap of the box-shaped door and the presence of bars. From there he saw someone sprawled with a big hole in the back of his head, and blood was pouring out there. But, at the same time he could see out the hut, panic was brewing outside.

Allenz and Zen continued to finish off the men by continuing to hide. Until one of them came to the horse carriage last came, he then tried to take one of the children in the carriage hostage.

Isla who was looking from behind bars just yelled to stop the action of the man. The child who was taken hostage could only cry, he was unable to shout as a result of his mouth being tied by a cloth.

Zen and Allenz were silent for a moment, they focused the person on their target. That person loudly shouted, asking who would dare to attack them to come out of their hiding. Otherwise, he would have pierced the child's head.

Zen and Allenz did not respond at all, angering the person. He raised his knife-wielding hand high, which was when Allenz and Zen attacked at the same time. Allenz looks for the man's hand, decides the man's hand, and Zen will aim for the man's head.

With hand-splitting wind magic and a precise bullet hitting the person's head simultaneously, it left the person dead on the spot. While the child who was held hostage just now was afraid to see the body of the person.

"Make protection magic!" Shouted one of them.

They cast a protection magic spell. Zen then did not let it happen, he shot two people who were chanting. Allenz also attacked with wind magic. Although they managed to kill four people, there were five people left who managed to create a protection magic that surrounded them.

One of the men mocked the Zen. "This way you won't be able to attack us."

Zen answered. "Maybe I can't attack you, then can you also attack us?" Challenge Zen.

One of them was lured. "Of course, you want to see~"

Not yet finished the ceremony, the other colleagues cut and asked him to continue to drain their magic to continue making protection magic. "Don't hear him! If anyone stopped flowing magic mana here, then this protection would be impenetrable."

Inevitably, they kept it that way surviving inside the dome.

Zen grinned. "In that case, we will wait until where you run out, how? This will be the event who's gonna last the longest."

 This made them furious, they could not possibly run away, if they were to fight also these two people like strong people.

Zen then ruled on Allenz to accelerate only. "Al, you kill them, I won't wait long." Zen then went towards the hut.

"What?! You sure you said that?!"

Zen stopped and looked back. "Of course." After saying so he continued towards the hut back.

Allenz whistled loudly, making the people inside the magic dome wary. Until a breeze inside the dome rages on making them shocked. Allenz says. "If you take refuge in that dome, it will be very impossible for you to breathe, right? And from your breath there produces air, which is why you are trapped by your own protector."

By manipulating the wind inside the dome, Allenz kills them and chops them up there with the wind magic Allenz created.

There was no sound from outside, only the sound of the night wind. This left Isla and the other prisoners confused by the silence. Isla who was still monitoring from the door, she looked out. Until Zen came and went there, making Isla relieved to see people he knew coming.

Zen then asked Isla away from the door, Zen quickly shot the lock that locked the door, making the prisoners there happily free and out.

"Sir Zen, thank you for setting us free." Isla

"No problem, I also then tracked you down when I learned of the commotion that occurred in the academy. And it'll be a long time to make plans until tomorrow." Zen. "Allenz, how's that outside?!"

"Everything's safe!" Sahut Allenz who is opening the bonds of the children on the train.

"A-Allenz?!" Isla is shocked at who Zen brings with her.

"Yep, I brought Allenz, why?"

"It's okay."

One of the girls there, only able to cry and sit down, he thought this was the end for him, he did not expect there would be any help this soon, Zen then calmed the student.

Soon, Zen takes the prisoners out of the hut, while meeting Allenz outside. Isla was surprised by the corpses that were there, they died in a terrible way. This made him nauseous for a moment.

Feeling the situation was good, Zen gathered the hostages, he ordered them to board the existing horse carriage, and return to the capital. He plans to bring the girls and children to the capital first, and will be returned to their village the next day, because it is already night time it will be very dangerous to return them at this time as well.

All agreed, before leaving, Zen burned the hut, he also brought the hand of the man, because of the existence of a symbol that was foreign to him, and would ask the emblem to Iza later.

Everyone got on the train, there were about two trains in use, and were carried by two village girls. As they left from there too, Zen shot a green flare into the sky.

Isla asked Zen. "What are you doing?"

"Hmm? just giving a message of our current state." Her speech.

From afar, the royal soldiers saw a green flare from two kilometers away, then they went to that point. And find some corpses of monsters that died while fighting Allenz and Zen earlier while chasing them.

Until not far from there, the second flare appears back, even its location appears close to them. The soldiers then went to that location, they quickly went there and met with Zen's entourage.

After meeting, the soldiers then guarded and surrounded the two trains, guarding them all the way to the gate of the capital.

People were gathered in front of the gate, they were confused about what was happening. Until they saw the third flare, the soldiers in front of the gate followed and found two horse carriages coming.

Before the gate, the train stopped. The soldiers took down the girls and children there, along with Allenz and Zen. Iza and some teachers came to Zen and Allenz who were down.

Grateful to see Zen and the others survived, Iza also asked Zen, who are these people. Zen replied, they were probably residents of a village near the capital who were also kidnapped by the mysterious people earlier.

Iza then spoke to the girls and the children involved, saying he would return them the next day, while they would be supervised in an inn first until the next day.

The incident spread throughout the city, even becoming a hot talk at the academy. Zen was even of great concern to the rumors, and the matter of the hut in the middle of the forest was being investigated by the soldiers sent there. Then Allenz? This was temporarily kept secret by some people in the academy, until it felt quite calm. Because the academy could get a bad response with the actions of a student who was allowed to attack a dangerous place alone.

Allenz's rumors are only told to chase until the front of the gate and not go into the hut, which is why Zen became the center of attention in this case.

In the headmaster's room, Zen was about to show Iza something, the old woman then met Zen in her room. There Zen showed the hand of one of the men he was fighting last night, opened the cloth that covered the hand, and on the palm was a symbol of the Order of Ouroboros.

"I just want to know from the emblem on the palm of this hand." He opened the cloth that covered his hand.

Iza's eyes opened wide, he took a step back to look at the emblem, he couldn't believe what he saw.

Looking at the emblem, proving the order still exists. And this hand that Zen carries is proof of it. Iza then told Zen to bring the hand and not to be lost. The two of them then left, Iza asked his assistant to write an official letter to make a meeting with the royal council along with the king as well.

In his mind, Iza was afraid that if for the last twenty years the order had been hiding and was planning something big ahead, he would not want to see anything terrible happen to this kingdom.

By waiting for half an hour, a letter was successfully made and sent directly with the pigeons to the kingdom, Iza and Zen also went by horse carriage and headed for the royal palace.
