BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 23 . RESOLVE
A FEW MINUTES AGO.
In a moving carriage , a little girl named Gloria ,who was the daughter of a small merchant in Vonol. She sat with her head rested on the window of the carriage ,there were 15 men around the carriage and she seemed to be taking to one.
"I wish dad was here" Gloria said to the leader of the guards Benos .
"I am sure he would have wanted to young lady, But you know he is very busy" Benos said In a respectful tone.
"But he is always busy he never has time for me, ever since Mom died, all he does is work" She pouted.
Not knowing what to say ,Benos was about to reply ,when one of the guards shouted " We are under attack"
Immediately the guard said that , a group of men dressed in black jumped out of the forest each one of them holding a weapon.
Benos knew about the existence of bandits, but he had no choice this road was one of the safest, though also riddled with bandits, it wasn\'t everytime they appeared, but it seemed that luck was not on their side.
" Tight formation ,do not let them get to the young lady" Benos shouted.
Immediately Gloria heard about the bandits ,fear griped her, she had heard about the horrible things bandits did, and the fact that they were being attacked made her freeze.
She was so scared that, she did not hear Benos shouting out orders, or when he was telling her to hide inside the carriage.
Though she still did that on instincts, immediately she crouched inside the carriage, an explosion resounded, followed by the screams of the guards that were hit by the fire ball.
Hearing the screams Gloria began to sob, she liked Benos ,he was kind and always listened to her, he was her best friend, since after her mother died ,her so called friends left her saying that she was cursed.
She looked out the window to check whether Benos was okay, and immediately she did that an orange colour flashed and she found herself inside the forest.
Widening her eyes she screamed in fear. This was supposed to be journey to go visit her cousins but it was going south.
She immediately began to navigate her way through the trees, following the sound of metal striking metal,and explosions that resounded.
After a minute or so she heard a loud explosion and froze.
Though she was just eleven years old ,she knew the power spells held, and an explosion that big had to have killed everyone. Her heart began to race even faster, the thought of Benos dying and being left stranded moved her body, running with all her might.
She eventually came out of the forest all for her to see Benos and some of the guards surrounding a man, he was probably the most handsome person she had ever seen, she stood there not knowing what to do, and after a few seconds she saw orange Sparks flickering around the man, and in the blink of an eye he was gone, leaving orange colour streaks.
Immediately that event happened, Gloria\'s eye\'s lost their lustre, then a purple rune flashed in her eyes, though just for a second. And immediately they went back to normal.
###
IN AN UNKNOWN LOCATION.
A figure sat crossed leg ,floating in an extremely dark place ,only illuminated by the blinding purple light the figure radiated, and coming from the figure ,an oppressive aura of power leaked out ,space itself seemed to bend due to that heavy aura.
Immediately Gloria\'s eye flashed, the scenes of Noah leaving played out on a panel that manifested floating in front of the figure.
There was a disturbance in the environment as the figure said in a surprised tone "Is that what I think it is, though he feels incredibly weak compared to what I remember. He seems to be on his way Vonol, very well then I will send someone to watch him just to be sure". The voice that sounded like a females , radiated an ancientness that didn\'t belong in that era, an ancientness that could only belong to IMMORTALS.

Zooming through the forest , Noah\'s mind was in turmoil, he ran because he needed to think. Running made him calm and collected, enough to sort out his feelings.
\' I just killed a person. But he was going to kill me\' Noah thought to himself.
\'I did the right thing, didn\'t I? \'.
\' He was a bandit ,and he was probably going to kill that girl. If I hadn\'t been there he would have escaped unpunished \' .
\' It\'s just like killing a beast, he needed to be eradicated, thrash like him shouldn\'t be allowed to walk around\' Noah thought to himself, his eye growing cold at the last sentence.
\' No, I shouldn\'t have killed him, I should have disarmed him, Probably break both arms or legs but not kill\' Noah\'s mind was in a tug war, and both side were currently equally matched.
Actually Noah knew that the whole conversation in his head hypocritical, he had killed many magical breasts, so why should killing a human worry him. But actually it wasn\'t killing the man that worried him, no it was the fact that it reminded him of his brother.
When he punched the man\'s head , something broke in him, and he knew it.
It was as though he always had the potential to do it, and finally doing it he felt a tinge of pleasure.
Coming to an abrupt stop, Noah ignored the ground cracking, and the wind rushing past his figure, he walked towards a tree, and punched it.
Smashing the tree, Noah looked at it with anger then a second later he calmed down.
Raising his head up, Noah stared at the sky and said to himself , " This is totally unreasonable, sooner or later I would have had to do it, this is a new world , people have powers , monsters exist, and besides people don\'t stop existing ,at least there soul doesn\'t. I am an example of that. DEATH IS NOT THE END".
With that Noah concluded on the matter, he would kill if he needed to and nothing else.
With that thought Noah\'s eyes turned cold. He wasn\'t sure why he was able to adapt so fast, probably due to he speed learning and the fact that the speed force helped his mental faculties ,but he knew it wasn\'t normal.
Heaving a deep sigh ,Noah decided to check the system notifications that had popped up.
[You have killed your first human]
[You have gained exp]
[You have levelled up ]
[You have levelled up ]
[You have levelled up ]
[You have gained 5 points to all stats]
[You have gained 5 points to all stats]
[You have gained 5 points to all stats]
[You have 10 points to distribute]
[You have 10 points to distribute]
[You have 10 points to distribute]
Raising his eyebrows in surprise ,he had actually levelled up thrice ,"It seems like humans contain more exp than magical Beast" Noah said to himself.
"Maybe I should go on a killing spree" Noah laughed .
With the three levels he was now level 30, though he had leveled up thrice he knew that the higher his level the lower the exp he would get. Sighing at that ,Noah postponed the distribution of stats to later dates.
Taking a deep breath, Noah\'s body began to emit thick orange Sparks, he was going to cover as much ground as he could until daybreak.
Then he moved. Shattering the sound barrier multiple times, Noah ran at Mach 10, crossing large distances ever second.
###
Noah ran for five hours straight, his stamina was really unholy. He only stopped when the \'sun\' rose (he had decided to call it that) for him to sleep.
At that point he was already very close to the city ,but he needed to sleep really bad.
Choosing a random tree, Noah climbed it sitting on a branch he slept off immediately his eyes closed.
Waking up, Noah felt like a new person, he had really been mentally stressed due to last night\'s event.
Jumping down, Noah removed the last piece of meat from his inventory, eating it and drinking water. He seriously needed supplies.
Resuming his run ,Noah ran for about two hours, checking the map to check how close he was, so when he was about the exit the forest he stopped running ,and started walking.
Exiting the forest, a massive stone wall about of 35 meters in height entered his sight ,and on the wall he counted about 50 men, the most striking thing was that about 10 of them radiated tier 2 power !!!.
He knew that the city would be very protected but this was a lot!.
Though during his run he had sensed a lot of tier 2 magical beast, so the protection was reasonable.
It was time for his entry into \'Vonol\' .
