Chapter 16 ****The Night Wings****
- The Arkon’s Tournament was held in different branches of the planet earth.
- Humans living in different planets would gather in earth just to watch the big event as it could likely determine the future of the offsprings.
- Roshan’s town was one of the branches of the Tournament so he didn’t need to pay any money for transportation.
- Now it was just a day to the Arkon’s Tournament.
- Roshan went through his previous notifications.
- He didn’t have time to go through them the day before because he was busy with getting foodstuffs and explaining to his caretaker how he got the money.
- It was pretty annoying as Master Fyi would ask him every question he thought of.
- “Where did you get the money?”
- “How did you get a level 3 beast Gem?”
- “Where did you even find it?”
- “That weapon seller is cunning, was it hard to defeat his son?”
- “What ability did his son use?”
- “Body Enhancement!!!, How did you manage to defeat him?”
- Thinking about everything gave him an headache.
- He thought of the system and a screen appeared in front of him.

- Roshan looked at the Rewards and smiled.
- It was much more better than he thought.
- He had where he could keep his equipments.
- The other skill was a little weird but he could live with it.
- Now the most exciting thing was the System shop, meaning that he could buy a lot of things.
- He got very excited as he couldn’t wait to use those things.
- He immediately remembered the notification that sounded during his fight and went to read its details.
- *New skill acquired*
- *Dash*
- *Dash allows host to go beyond normal speed attributes for ten minutes. Requires half an hour of cool down before timer can reset for another use.
- This was exciting and it made his blood boil at least he had a good chance of winning the tournament.
- He stood up immediately and went for his shower.
- He needed to begin his preparations.
- “Roshan, won’t you eat before you rush out” Master Fyi called as he looked at the boy running out through the door.
- “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll buy my breakfast and besides I’m not really hungry” Without waiting for a reply, he dashed out from the house.
- “This boy…….” He already knew that he wouldn't stay to eat.
- **************
- Roshan ran into the forest ready to test his new equipment and skills.
- He had figured out how to put the gauntlet into the infinity void with just a single thought.
- He thought of the gauntlet and immediately a faint light shone on his hands and it disappeared, replacing the light were the two gauntlets.
- Nice…
- He walked further into the forest searching for something to practice with.
- He walked deeper into the forest but he still didn’t see anything.
- “Where are they?” He frowned as he got deeper but still there was no sign of any beasts.
- “Crystal Iris!”
- His pupils glowed as he looked around searching for the signs of any beasts.
- But he still saw nothing.
- Few moments later, Roshan could see tiny specks of blood on the trees and a few drops on the ground.
- Crouching down, he dipped his finger into a drop of blood and rubbed it between his thumb and forefinger
- “Strange……judging from the texture and scent of the blood, a fight must have happened not long ago” He thought as he stood up.
- Before evolving, Roshan had a good sense of smell but now it was far better. Sniffing into the air, he followed the faint scent of blood.
- The scent grew stronger as he went deeper into the forest.
- Roshan thought
- “Something really bad must have happened here, why do I feel like I’ll get into a huge pile of trouble if I keep searching. Well….. I am actually getting used to it”
- He stopped as his ears picked up some noises.
- Walking closer, he hid behind the bushes as he watched four men talking together.
- “I don’t think the boss will be happy” one of them paced as he trembled
- “Well, I am tired. We have searched everywhere and we couldn’t find the Emperor Tier Beast” another answered as he crossed his arms along his body
- “The beasts I have seen today will torture me for the rest of my life” A dark haired guy shivered as he clutched his sword.
- So it was them killing all the beasts, then where were the corpses
- “Let’s pack up and head to the ship, this mission is futile”
- The person who spoke was covered in black and his voice had an air of authority to it.
- “Wait….I have seen those clothing before. They……they were in my house before my parents died. Was it their doing”
- Roshan thought as anger, grief and sorrow passed through his eyes
- But there was nothing he could do, the least there was at Level 30.
- He bit his lips as he saw them move. They were a lot faster than him.
- He stayed close by but not too close, he didn’t want to be spotted.
- “Is that their ship” his jaw dropped as he looked at the huge vehicle.
- The words, “Night Wings” were inscribed on the side of the ship.
- “Night Wings…” the word plastered at the back of his head. He knew who was responsible for his parents’ death.
- He gripped the locket around his neck “I will avenge you, mom and dad and I will get rid of all of them every single one”.
- Then he ran off
- One of the men looked behind.
- “Did you guys hear something” he asked as he looked around.
- “Nahh, must have been your imagination” another man answered.
- “I’m pretty sure I heard something” the man muttered to himself and kept on walking
