Chapter 33 - THE FIRST ONE

My consciousness returned to me as my back collided with the earth at the speed of some hundred meters per second. Blood trickled down from the back of my head and dropped on the ground, my fall caused a few cracks on the ground, if my body was the same as it was back in my world then there would have been a dead body lying on the ground with brain matter oozing out. Fortunately, my body is as hard as a comic character now. 

But still, I should have used a different achievement than the one I used. 

PWOK!  

I puked out some blood, and spread my arms, started to think about what just happened to us. 

Where the hell that fire projectile came from and how did it cause me to faint even though I used fire resistant achievement. 

PANT! PANT! 

I breathed heavily as I struggled to catch some air. My head was still spinning around in all directions; I raised my head and glanced downwards to see if my holy arm was still with me. My devil's fault was still attached to me, seeing it gave me a little bit of confidence and raised my beliefs about my chances of survival. 

The back of my head was again touching the ground when I had confirmed my safety, I would have preferred close eyes if the sun was not as scorching as it was, well in this planet's case it would be Artelis. 

"Ha, oh come on! Can't I just close my eyes for a little bit?" I complained to particularly no one. 

As my condition was not as bad as I had thought, I groaned heavily and separated the earth from my back. Now I was sitting on my butt and was still struggling to breath as my lungs still couldn't catch the air well. 

PANT! SPIT! 

I threw some dust that was accumulated in my mouth. I turned my head around to see if anyone fell with me, but there was no one to find neither on left and nor on right. 

"Shit, I was really hoping for somebody to be with me! Even Andre would have been fine!" I grunted. 

PHEW! 

I exhaled and tilted my body backwards and supported it through my palms, looked up at the sky and then down on the ground. 

Slowly the spinning world started to appear still in my eyes, when I confirmed that my eyes were alright, I folded my knees and stood upward with unfolding them. 

"Here we... go!!" I said to boost my spirit. 

I fell on a destroyed commercial area; there were debris of many destroyed buildings with no life to be found in the radius of at least a kilometer. I had gripped the handle of my devil's fault to calm my tensed heart. I still don't know what could come at my face catching me off guard because our peaceful mission was disturbed successfully because of the actions of evil. 

'Wait a minute! Could the evil Chloeir was talking about is also behind these whole spontaneous explosions? If she was then only thing I am left to do is to think how did that 'evil' pulled this off?' I presumed. 

I commenced to walk as I immerged myself in thinking about the cause. 

...... 

Two cadets were lying with one on top of another, the blonde hairs of the boy was the only thing protruding through the long golden hairs of the girl lying on top of him. 

"Uhmm, uhmmm!" The boy struggled as he tried to breath. 

He pushed the girl from top so that he could breathe to continue his life. 

PANT! PANT! PANT! 

"You! Do you want to suffocate me? Your bicep was gripping my mouth with an orc's strength!" 

Boy sat up and screamed at the girl who was lying with her face on the ground. 

"Uhm... what is it?" Girl also raised her head, "Oh, Albert! It's just you! So, why the hell were you screaming?" 

Girl said in low tone of voice as she poked her ear with her pinky finger. 

"Don't say, 'it's just you'. Answer me Charlotte, did you wanted to suffocate me just now!?" Albert again posed a question with a high and screeching voice. 

"Don't act to be embarrassed! You are acting like being suffocated by a girl is not every boy's dream!" Charlotte shrugged nonchalantly. Then she stood up and turned her head in all directions, after doing so she eyed the sitting Albert with crossing her arms with both hands touching her elbows, "So... where are we? And first of all, tell me how you ended up with me?" She asked with furrowed eyes. 

"I don't know! Is my answer to the first question and 'you fell on me' is answer to your second question!" Albert yelled during answering the second question. 

"Oh, why are you yelling?" Charlotte again poked her ear with eyes saying she doesn't care about anything related with Albert. 

"You seriously...!" 

Albert did not seem to have any problem after felling from the immense height, so he also stood up with brushing something that wasn't visible to Charlotte. 

"What are you trying to brush off, is there some invisible dirt on your suit?" Charlotte frowned. 

"It's nothing! I am just trying to make your smell disappear from my gear, that's all!" 

"You bastard.." 

Charlotte tried to answer Albert's mockery but her words stayed in her mouth when she caught the sight of the figure standing behind Albert. It was some feet away from him. 

"What? Too slow to come with an answering taunt?" Albert again mocked Charlotte, but he soon dropped the smile on his face when he saw the non-blinking and widely opened eyes of Charlotte with stern expression on her face. 

He ever so slowly turned his head backwards with some hesitation caused by the fear welling inside him, in front of his eyes, approximately thirty feet away from him there was a humanoid figure with body completely black in color that resembled the night sky and cracks were visible on his whole body, covering its face, its upper and lower torso. 

"Fuck!" 

Albert could only blurt out a curse after seeing a spectacle class deathodd.
