Chapter 127- The Archangels (Part 2)
*CRACK* *CRACK*
Mikayla cracked his neck tiredly as he looked at the stacks of papers in front of him. He sighed loudly as he closed his eyes.
"Tsk, instead of training or going on missions, I'm stuck here signing some shitty papers. Dammit." He grumbled angrily before he stood up and walked toward his coffee machine. Mikayla was addicted to coffee almost as much as he was addicted to his sword.
As he poured his ninth or tenth cup for the day, he felt an aura appear behind him. Closing his eyes, he put the cup down and said.
"You're right on time." He said without looking back.
"We have an agreement," Kai said as he walked toward Mikayla. "So, I presume you did your part?" He asked coldly.
"I sure did. But… Sigh, some of them couldn't make it to the meeting. They were on a mission somewhere far away." He said.
'It's already a huge mess with this new monster thing that Kaya told me about. It will probably get more hectic when this information reaches the Archangels.' The old man mused as he turned around to look at Kai.
"Well, unless you want me to invite you over for a cup of coffee, we can go?" He said.
Kai nodded his head before he allowed Mikayla to move. The two then left his office. The corridors of the Divinity HQ were as beautiful as Kai expected. The floor was carpeted with a high-quality material and the walls were decorated with beautiful pieces of art and masterpieces that could cost millions.
Luckily, they didn't pass by anyone. Eventually, they reached a two-door room that seemed to be for meetings.
"They're inside. There are exactly 5 that were able to attend. Anyway, go ahead. I won't try to convince them. It's all on you."
Kai nodded his head before he pushed the door open.
*Swish*
"The Black Phantom's head is mine!! Hahahahaha! I wanna beat him up so bad!!"
Before Kai could even finish opening the door, he found himself about to get kicked in the face. However, he already sensed this person's aura and his body moved. Grabbing the attacker's leg, he violently smashed them down on the ground.
"Woah!! Amazing!" Looking down at this attacker, Kai's eyes squinted.
The one who attacked him was by far the most bizarre-looking person he had ever seen. He was rather short and scrawny with a shrill voice. However, what he was wearing was what caught Kai's attention.
He was completely covered in metallic chains from head to toe. They were wrapped tightly around his body except for his eyes and mouth. It was perturbing to look at as it invoked a sense of chaos and madness.
"Hahahahahaha! You really beat me with one move! What the hell is wrong with you, bro?!" The chained man asked as he stood up as if he was unharmed.
'That should've broken one of his bones at least. Did he use his talent?' Kai thought to himself silently.
"I'm not here to fight," Kai said.
"Hahahahahahaha! I don't care! I want to fight you! When I heard that the legendary Black Phantom wanted to meet me! I fucking ran here! So, let's fight to the death!!" With a maniacal grin, the chained man punched Kai with a monstrous speed.
*Swish*
Finding no other way to stop this fool, Kai decided to make him an example. With a swift move, he grabbed the man's fist before his palm struck him in the chest. The move was so elegant and fast that no one, not even Mikayla could see it.
"BLURGH!!" Blood spurted out of the chained man's mouth. But, Kai didn't stop as he grabbed his face and smashed it against his knee. Then, he jumped in the air and punched him into the ground, destroying it easily.
*BOOOOM*
Cracks spread in the room as the man's head was planted into the floor like an ostrich.
"I didn't come here to meet you. I came here to meet the archangels. Don't think too highly of yourself." Kai said coldly as he looked away from the man.
But, much to his surprise, the man suddenly rose from the ground as if nothing happened.
"AMAZING!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! You're the real deal, bro!! I love it!! The damage you dealt with such a few attacks is beyond crazy!! Did you even use your abilities?! Did you?!" Rushing toward Kai to grab him, the latter sighed and then turned around.
This time, he had his revolver in his hand and it was aimed at the chained man's skull.
"Using your talent to not take damage. That's not that new. But, can your ability stop a bullet to the skull?" He asked.
"..."
The chained man was silent for a second which allowed Kai to continue.
"I came here to talk with the archangels. I'm not here to humor your stupid games. Now, sit down before I make your number go down from 10 to 9." He said as he unleashed his bloodlust, making the whole room completely freeze.
'What a monstrous bloodlust. I'm feeling as if someone is trying to choke me.' Mikayla thought with a cold expression.
"There he went and did it. That idiot." A voice suddenly penetrated the suffocating silence of the room.
Looking back, Kai finally saw the other four people in the room. The one that spoke was a dark-skinned man with white hair that was put in a weird, spiky hairstyle. He had a weird tattoo on his left eye that made it basically unusable. His clothes were wild and pointy.
"He is cool, isn't he? Omg, that's so hilarious, lol. I wanna take a selfie with him and a video for my social media~" The second person sitting next to the punk-looking man was a girl. She was as frivolous as they could get with excessive makeup and revealing clothes. Her hands were moving rhythmically as she typed something into her phone like a machine.
*Slam*
Suddenly, someone slammed the frivolous girl on the head.
"Moron, you can't post that shit on your social media." The third person in order was wearing a complete opposite of the girl. The young woman had a depressed aura around him and emo-style clothes. Her gloomy face was covered by a normal mask and had a cross earring on her left ear.
"WTF! I fixed my hair this morning! That's not funny!" The woman instantly moved as she pulled a blade out of nowhere and aimed it at the girl's throat.
"Last time, I didn't kill you. This time, I will, on god."
"Hey, hey, you two, stop it." Last but not least and the person that caught Kai's attention the most was a handsome, normal-looking man with a nice aura around him.
He had a troubled smile on his face as he tried to calm down the two girls.
"Sir Black Phantom came here to meet us. We must show some respect, guys." He said in a respectful tone.
He really seemed to be a normal and kind person. However, Kai didn't buy that facade. He knew that the worst malice isn't the one that comes at you with a knife, but the one that comes at you with a smile.
"Please, excuse their behavior, sir. It's my deepest honor to finally meet you. I'm Arthur."
