Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

When I appeared outside. A warm breeze brushes against my face. The sky looked bright. 

After appreciating nature for a moment, I turned toward my left side and started to move.

While flying, I recalled the information in my mind. The Faction Head told me about the gathering. But he didn't tell me the exact location.

He just gave me a direction to investigate. Shaking my head, I continued to fly. At the same time, I activated my perceptual ability.

Time passed,

After a few hours of flying over this barren land. I found someone lurking on the ground through my perception.

At first, I thought it must be some kind of pseudo-monster that lives here. But when I got closer, something changed.

It's not a monster but a warrior. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Someone is hiding in the trench. 

I paused my movements in mid-air for a moment. The current situation reminds me of an underground cellar. 

Through my perception, I spotted one more person.

The next second, I started to move towards the trench.

Meanwhile, two warriors are hiding in the trench. They are none other than spies working for Giant Tower. They both are Initial- Super Elite Warriors.

They are collecting information about the people leaving Viper City. Seeing someone coming in their direction.

Both of them were startled. But after a few seconds, they recovered their bearings. Since someone discovered their hiding. 

It's impossible to escape without closing the loose ends. So both of them decided to confront the enemy head-on.

A few seconds later,

When they saw someone standing above them in mid-air. Their expressions change drastically. But soon their faces lit up with joy. Because they recognize the person.

"Zack Lockwood,"

Both of their eyes flash with a hint of greed. They are working for the Giant Tower. And they know about the Giant Tower's operation. 

Nowadays, the Giant Tower mobilizes its efforts just to kill one person. And that person right in front of them.

Both of them are aware that Vik is located somewhere near them. And it's well-known among their circles. That Vik is responsible for taking down Zack Lockwood.

But the Giant Tower has never barred anyone from attempting the kill either.

At the same time, I saw two middle-aged warriors looking at me with shining eyes. Instead of fear and doubt, their eyes filled with unknown happiness.

Which creeps me out all of a sudden. 

"They know me," I mumbled under my breath. I also saw through their power level. But I wasn't able to tell whether they were friends or enemies.

Tud~

Then I slowly landed on the ground before walking up to them.

"Hello, I'm Zack Lockwood."

"Who are you guys?" I asked while raising my right hand to greet them.

The Super Elite Warriors nodded at each other. Signaling, they are on the same page. Hearing the question, the smile on their faces disappeared.

Their eyes flickered with killing intent.

Meanwhile,

Through perception, I immediately saw through their expression. "Enemy," I said in my heart. The next second, I mobilized the blood power from my redbones.

This all happened in a blink of an eye,

When the duo turned toward me and charged against me. The blood power already traveled through my forearm and gathered around my fist.

Seeing the smug smile on their face. My eyes grew cold. 

Instead of using an elemental attack, the duo used a brute punch to attack. 

Seeing that I sneered inside.

"Blood Fist"

My fist collided with one of them.

Argh~

The warrior let out a muffled groan. My punch tore through his right arm. Blowing off the fleshes and bones here and there. 

Seeing that the other one stopped his attack midway. The sudden turn around made him scared sh!t.

He saw his friend's body smashed on the ground. Seeing that, he turned around and tried to run away. 

"Harumph," 

I gave a cold snort before dashing toward him. I used the blood power again to attack him. As my blood fist touched his back.

Crack~

His backbone got broken. That guy was thrown forward like a broken kite and heavily smashed on the ground.

Pfff!

Blood and flesh splattered on the ground. Seeing that I retracted my fist. 

"F@ck," Recalling the earlier interaction, I cursed out loud.

I almost got caught. Fortunately, my powerful perception saved my life once again.

These two guys are Super Elite Warriors. Either they are sharp daggers, remnants, or spies. My eyes grew cold. 

Organizations behind them want my life. Certainly, I can't leave them without any interrogation. 

Then I turned around and walked to the 1st warrior. But when I saw his condition. My expression darkened. 

White foam is spewing from his mouth. Seeing that a look of understanding dawned upon me. 

Then I hurried toward the 2nd warrior and saw him taking up some pill. I arrived in front of him in an instant and snatched away his pill. 

The pill looked dark brown. But it smelled an extremely foul stench. 

"What kind of poisonous pill is this?" I mumbled under my breath. 

Then I placed it in my storage ring before turning toward the warrior. 

The warrior's face turned ugly. He thought about taking his life too. But he was a bit late. 

Seeing the warrior's reaction. I revealed a cold smile on his face.

I walked closer to him and stepped on his hand. "Now tell me. Who are you guys?"

"If you fail to answer my question. Then I'll skin you alive," I said in a cold tone.

The warrior shuddered. On one hand, he is bleeding heavily. On the other hand, he is facing the threat of torture.

The warrior closed his eyes for a moment before making the decision. 

"Alright, I'll tell you everything," He said.

Hearing that I nodded my head. 

"We have been ordered to monitor this place," The warrior uttered, coughing up blood.

Pfff~

A frown appeared on my face. I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Who?"

A hint of fear appeared in the warrior's eyes. He thought about his current state before replying, "Giant Tower."

"We are spies working for Giant Tower. They have asked us to form this gathering. And they wanted to create a small conflict by using this gathering." He added further.

My eyes grew cold. What gathering is he talking about? For a moment, my mind went blank. Giant Tower? What's their connection to the gathering?

"Hey, are you talking about sharp daggers remnants gathering?" I asked.

The warrior's eyes flickered with a slight glint. He is almost on the verge of death. Before closing his eyes for a moment, he replied," Yes."

The next moment, his eyes dimmed. He lost his life due to excessive bleeding. 

But I remained still in my position. The spy gave me a great deal of information. So the Giant Tower Academy is behind the gathering.

But I don't know whether the sharp daggers organization has anything to do with them.

A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. If Giant Tower is doing something behind the scenes, then the issue won't end well.

And above all, what is their purpose for creating conflict? What is their goal in achieving this? There are a lot of unanswered questions. 

Guess, I will know after reaching the gathering point. After gaining some clarity, I rose from the ground and started to move.

Right after, two people appeared from the shadows.

They are none other than Zack's guardians. Dean Rebecca was aware of Zack's departure. Especially after the Sharp Daggers incident. She had thought that she made the right decision by assigning guardians for Zack.

Because of that not only she was able to protect Zack's life. She can also get first-hand intelligence information. 

The two guardians had overheard Zack's conversation with the spy. They were shocked to the core. The information is too hard to believe. 

Since the warrior confessed himself as a Giant Tower's spy. They can't help but share the information with the dean directly. After sending the information, they started following Zack.

Meanwhile,

Dean Rebecca is busy with her work as usual. When she is operating the projection screen. She was disturbed by the sudden message. At first, she thought about avoiding it.

But when she saw the contact name, She paused her movements. She knows Zack left for a mission.

"Don't tell me there is another incident," She said in her heart. 

Her expression becomes serious for a moment. She opened her inbox and began to read the message.

After a few seconds, her face becomes cold. For a moment, powerful pressure emitted from her body. But Rebecca quickly controlled her emotions. 

"Giant Tower," She said in a solemn tone. She knows that information is yet to be verified. So immediately gave further orders to strictly monitor the situation. 

If the sharp daggers are pawns of the Giant Tower, then they are going to face serious charges during the year-end conference.

Any such attempt will cause a fallout with other academies. If the information is true, then the Giant Tower is digging its own grave.
