16 Sulcan part 3

Previously...

Ariock blinked once then twice then three times, before saying a single sentence.

"Well there goes my day of relaxing."

......................................

(Ariock pov)

I stared at the screen in front of me for a minute before sighing.

'what the hell man I was planning to relax and chill for today. But nooo my first quest in five years just had to happen today. '

The system rarely gives me quests, when it does there normally pretty high in difficulty and, sadly don't give xp more often than not.

'even so I shouldn't complain. Not only is it giving me a new divinity but it's giving me the chance to save the home I care for. '

So with that thought in mind I got up from my bed and got dressed.

'I wonder were I should start? It didn't give me any specifics only I had to find the reason and 'purge' it.'

I was going to continue thinking, but the magic communication device (his earing) on my ear went off.

Letting the call through I heard the familiar rough voice of the chief of police Walter Morgan.

"Ariock can you hear me?" said Walter  clearly in a panicked tone.

I rose an eyebrow at that as Walter was not the type to get scared or panicked easily. "Yeah, what do you need?"

"I need you to come to district 2 asap."

"District two" I said confused.

'That place is relatively peaceful with little to no crime in it at all.  The only thing that isn't peaceful is the insain asylum in the middle of it, but even then that place is heavily guarded by some of our best soldiers.'

I shook my head clearing those thoughts as I decided I would know more when I got there.

"Alright be there within a couple minutes."

"Good just hurry up our situation is getting worse by the second." with that he cut himself off.

I sighed as I realized I most likely won't catch a break today.

........................................

Alright before we continue with the story let me explain the districts.

A District if you didn't know is a area of a city or country that has a unique characteristic that warrants it's own area.

Moving on I'll give a quick summary of each district.

1. Filled with normal low class citizens. The housing isn't anything special.(little to no crime)

2. Mid-tier citizens. nice good houses. ( some crime not much)

3. High class citizens. Mansions, penthouses,  etc. ( average amount of crime levels)

4.  Low Ranking adventures. Same housing as citizens of low rank.( average crime)

5.Mid-class adventures. Same housing as citizens of mid rank.( little crime)

6. High-class adventures. Same housing as high ranking citizens.(no crime)

7. VIP people. Very big mansions and even castles.( never any crime)

8. The slums. Shacks and huts for housing.( High amounts of crime)

(Ariock  3rd person pov)

When Ariock arrived at the normally peaceful district two, via teleportation, he quickly understood the reason for Walters panicked state.  

The once beautiful streets were now gaping wholes at least 30ft wide each, and the houses that towered over those before now laid in ruin. The cause of it being the clearly magically enhanced mentally deranged people that came from the asylum, who also curiously  emitted an aura of crimsion.

A couple questions ran through Ariock's mind when he processed this.

1.  How did they escape, the guards there were no pushover, they were easily high B rank to Low A rank one even being low S rank . Even if they did take them by surprise they still wouldn't have been able to get past them, enhanced or not

2. Who enhanced them and why? Whoever did had to be at least High S rank or stronger. He figured this out because he could gauge people's strength fairly easily. Normally these inmates were E rank - low B rank, they didn't go higher than that because if they were any stronger it would cause problems. But now because of whatever enhancements are on them, easily high B Rank - borderline S Rank.

3. That crimson aura why does it feel so familiar, yet at the same time so different, almost as if he's seen, no more like felt before?

However his questions would for now remain unanswered, for he was snapped out of thought by the berserker like scream coming from an inmate who spotted him.

When his head snapped towards the direction of the screamer his eyes widened when he saw who it was. The screamer was in fact not an inmate but someone he knew fairly well.

With black messy hair and blood red eyes that screamed bloodlust and animalistic rage, along with a decent figure Standing at 5"10 stood Walter chief of police. Currently  he wore what seemed to have been a captains uniform of the black and white color,  but now was nothing but cloth and tatters.

Walter's Normally friendly and calm demeanor was instead replaced with a look of pure hatred and rage. He visibly shook with how much of it was coursing through him.

Looking at his now feral looking friend Ariock could only look in shock as the currently beseker mode Walter charged him in a burst of speed far faster than what Ariock saw him previously capable of.

When Ariock regained his composure he scowled, pissed that someone dared to brain wash his friend into what looked like a mindless beast.

Shoving those thoughts away temporarily he looked at Walter, who while had an boost in power still looked like he was going a snail pace to him.  Looking around slightly he started compared his friend to the other inmates.

Only to have to duck under a Punch from Walter whome of which teleported in front of a surprised Ariock. That surprise didn't last long though.

Going into a more serious state of mind Ariock countered with "light" punch to the gut. When it landed Walter doubled over in pain before being kicked by Ariock faster than he could see sending him flying backwards into a ruin of a building.

Ariock waited for Walter to get back up patiently since he wanted to test the limits of the enhancement. He needed to know what he was dealing with so that he wouldn't be surprised like when Walter teleported.

'Before now Walter had shown zero aptitude for magic of any kind, so for him to be able to teleport all the sudden doesn't make sense. Therefore it's quite plausible that this enhancement or what ever it is giving the ability to use magic, high tier magic too since teleportation isn't a low level spell.'

Taking all that into consideration Ariock frowned.

' If that's the case then this might be a bigger issue than I thought. The only beings I've know to be able to do anything similar are Very high ranking monsters like demon lords, or higher being, Gods. '

Looking at his hands Ariocks thoughts continued.

' I know for a fact I can do something similar through blessings and other God miracles, however something doesn't match up.'

Staring at the slowly standing Walter, Ariock watched  the crimson aura around Walter before realizing something , making  his eyes go wide.

'That's it! I think I know what I have to do now.'

Ariock Disappeared for a split second before reappearing in front of Walter, and before the former could react Ariock quickly put his hand on the feral Chief of police's chest.

Then with no hesitation he yanked his hand backwards, pulling the crimson aura with it.

Slowly the aura was apsorbed into our protagonist, when it was done Ariock smirked while catching the now passed out Police Chief
