Chapter 2 - Awakening II

Three awakened individuals appeared out of thin air and their swords were at the trio's neck. They froze in place, not daring to move a single muscle.

"Why are you running," The nun asked in a sincere tone but the trio could sense faint traces of malice in her voice

"You were going to kill us," Merlin answered her in a cold tone.

"And why would I kill you," she said as went in front of the trio and removed her blindfold and stared them down. She released her killing intent but to her surprise, the three were unfazed.

"Because that's what all you dragons and onis do," Keith said as he glared at the nun and his eyes glowed for a moment and four transparent hearts appeared out of thin air. Both of his hand held a heart and there was one in his mouth and the other was in Kayla's mouth.

Keith crushed the hearts in the head and his teeth sunk into the one in his mouth and Kayla did the same. The knights and the nun fell down to the ground with a resounding thud.

Unlike humans, beings like dragons and onis awaken a class along with a leveling system. This allows them to grow stronger unlike humans. Humans can grow stronger buy training but even the human body has it limits.

There have been a few humans who have awakened classes but they are killed as soon as they awaken. The dragons and onis fear if humans start awakening class, they would revolt against them. The reason for this fear was because the first human who awakened a class attacked a government official and almost succeeded in taking his life until he was apprehended and was sentenced to death.

This event caused the dragons and oni to become afraid so they issued a law that humans that awakens a class is to be killed before he or she grows any stronger. That was the reason Keith, Kayla and Suguru were almost killed even though they are not human but the nun thought they were humans because only humans go to church for their awakening.

Suguru went to the body of the nun and used his talent Spirit contract. His talent spirit contact allowed him to make a contract a soul in order for the soul to become one his soul army but the drawback of this talent is that the soul has to agree to the contract. If the soul refused to make the contract three times, then he can longer make a contract with that particular soul.

He tried to use it but it resulted in a failure. He used it the second time and it was a success this time. Merlin walked up to the other who were currently taking money from the dead dragon knights that there were going to use later.

"Let's go home show we," Keith said after he was done robbing the corpses of all their money. Kayla disposed of the bodies using flame manipulation and didn't have to worry about the cameras because their Celestial Talent: Celestial Secrecy erases every single trace of their existence in a person's memory or any electrical gadget that has a picture or video of them. They bolted out of the church and went to the nearest train station.

They boarded a train and sat down next to each other. They were silent for most of the trip, each one of them absorbed in their own thoughts. Kayla was the one who eventually broke the silence and asked, "How many years have since that day?"

"It's hard to tell since we are in a different universe but if I were to make a rough estimate. I guess about ten thousand years," Keith answered as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

The trio were once inhabitants of a different universe. A universe were humans, dragons and onis lived in peace and harmony due to their effort.

Through blood, sweat and tears, they were able to convince the three races to let go of their differences and live together in peace. After that they travelled to different universes in need of their help. When they returned to their original universe, they saw it in shamble.

The metallic scent of blood and the stench of rotten corpses filled the air. Cities, towns and villages were reduced to nothing but rubble. The whole planet was littered with the flesh of humans, dragons and onis alike. The sun was pitch black and the sky was crimson red.

The trio bolted around the whole planet to check if there were any survivors but they were none.

"Would did this?" Keith asked, gritting his teeth and clenched his fist in anger and frustration. Keith had a multitude of questions. Who would dare attack a universe protected by three Celestials? As if to answer his question, a man appeared out of thin air holding a katana in his right hand. The man wore dark clothes and a devil mask on his face.
