18 - Emergency call

~Dark Opt army dorm~

"Do you have everything you need?" Josaline asked as Rosalia packed up some necessities in her backpack ready to set off back to her and her brother's resident. "Yes, that's about it, I'll be going now" Rosalia replied as she got out of the dorm room, closing the door behind her and headed down towards her bike before driving her way back home.

As soon as Rosalia parked her bike, she got off and made her way towards the front door, opening it and going inside and seeing how it was early morning, she headed upstairs towards Mickaila's room believing he was still asleep like the usual and creaked open the door, wanting to give her brother a little surprise.

As soon as the door was wide enough she quickly shouted, "surprise!" But there was no sound or an inch of movement, the whole room was empty, furthermore cold and tidy. [did he go out already?] she questioned herself as she exited the room, closing the door behind her and headed downstairs, "oh well, I might as well make some breakfast for him so he won't be hungry when he comes back." She said optimistically as she headed towards the kitchen to prepare the food.

~2 hours later~

[why isn't he back yet? Never knew it took him that long to do his daily quest huh.] she said as she finished her plate before putting it in the sink to clean it up whilst putting his brother's portion into the fridge so he could warm it up later to eat.

[I wonder what he's up to?]

~back in the boss room!~

"This is getting interesting!" Mickaila smirked as he spat out the blood in his mouth whilst standing up onto his two feet, staring at the three-headed creature in front of him, "you look like a tough opponent despite being a rank 2..." Mickaila probed, "And I thought I gotten stronger..." he carried on saying as he dusted off his trousers that was full of dust when he took the impact of the fall.

As his eyes looked back up, he was faced with an aggravated three-headed wolf growling at him menacingly whilst Mickaila just nonchalantly stood there as if not phased, maybe due to the fact he almost died twice since he got the system and since he had nothing to fear more than death, he has nothing to concern himself with especially when facing his fears, [I mean what can be more scarier than experiencing death].

With all the things he's experienced in the past, he was able to face his fears and stand up tall.

"Come on you scaredy cat, I mean dog..." he probed once again with a smirk on his face which angered the wolf (or should I say wolves).

And with that last gensture, it broke the three-headed wolf's last thread and he started to attack. [Oops I might have aggravated him too much] Mickaila said to himself as he ran to the opposite direction to where he was previously standing to not get injured once again.

Looking over at the gigantic creature before him that seeks to rip out Mickaila's body and quickly stampeding its way over in attempt to catch the insignificant looking human before it.

"Is that really all you got?" Mickaila laughed out loud. " Grrrrr..." the wolf menacingly sounded and once again circled Mickaila trying to find a weak spot to attack. But this time instead of the usual, the easily manipulated three-headed wolf was much more calmer and composed compared to before with a strategical method implanted into its mind.

The expression that was on Mickaila's smiling exterior soon turned sinister with his composure being more focused and serious as he held on to the the two daggers, one in each hand along with a handgun and his secret weapon safely hidden in his back pocket.

Copying the wolf's action, Mickaila started circling the wolf in return, both attempting to find each other's weak point and awaiting for one another to slip and leave an opening for attack.

With both being completely focused on one another, there were no opportunities to attack, Mickaila slid a rock down his sleeve and chucked it on the left wall in attempt to migrate the enemy's attention and luckily for Mickaila, it was successful.

Just as the wolf' attention was moved, slowly facing to the left hand side, Mickaila took that opportunity to make his first move. Dashing forward towards the wolf however with this small movement it caught the wolf's attention back.

Just before Mickaila could make a hit, the wolf turned around with its red ruby eyes staring down at Mickaila with distaste, [damn, I've been found out!] He swore unhappily as he clicked his tongue. Aggressively the wolf swiped his large tail directly coming into contact with Mickaila who moved his hands forward blocking most of the blow leaving the fragile part of his body intact.

As Mickaila took the blow, his body was swung a few feet backwards hitting the cold dirty wall. Clenching his teeth as he took the damage to his body and stood up once again.

But instead of being depressed or scared, or even afraid, the sad expression that would normally appear on someone's expression when they know they have no chance in winning was something that wasn't on Mickaila's face but instead a 180 degrees turn, instead of a sad expression, he faced the creature Infront of him with a smirking smile, "you know I kind of like you..." He said menacingly, " but how sad, you won't survive beyond today." He spat as he charged forward towards the three-headed wolf with extreme speed.

|Encase, status: active|

In that instant, Mickaila held his daggers out and slashed at the wolf at a high speed, "as thought, you are not a easy opponent." Mickaila said excitedly as his adrenaline began to increase, the blooded three-headed wolf standing Infront of him stood up high angrily as it howled once again.

And within an instant, dark shadows appeared in front of him, as the shape started to slowly form, now standing before Mickaila was a herd of shadow wolves with red bloody eyes seeking for blood and Mickaila was their prey.

"Now this is how I like it!" As Mickaila got more excited, knowing that the battle hasn't ended, knowing how this is the sort of opponent he needed to gain more stats and and experience.

"Shall we begin!" As both side began to charge at each other....

~back at Mickaila and Rosalia's resident~

[What should I do, it's nearly 24 hours since I came back and Mickaila isn't back yet] Rosalia thought to herself worriedly as she charged backwards and forwards in the living room.

And for precautions, she checked her phone but there was no messages from Mickaila about him staying out, Rosalia tried phoning but it never got through to him, she even checked the household cameras which showed he went out the day before she arrived home meaning it's nearly 2 days that he has been missing.

Several different scenarios popped through Rosalia's mind and none of them were helping her to calm down, "should I call the police?" She questioned herself, "yes, that would be the best thing to do" as she scavaged her way towards the living room table to get her phone.

With wobbly fingers she typed in the digits to phone the police, "this is the police department, how can I help you." A lady said through the phone, "yes, my brother is miss...." But just before Rosalia could finish her speech, the front door swung open revealing a bloodied and exhausted Mickaila.

Dropping her phone and quickly running towards the door, hugging Mickaila tightly, "where were you?" Rosalia asked desperately but quite angered at the same time.

"Hi... Sis." He said tiredly with a soft smile on his expression before collapsing onto Rosalia and falling into unconsciousness.

"Mickaila? Brother?" Rosalia urged as she began to shake Mickaila that was lying on top of her.

But just as she heard him snore, she gave a relieved sigh, "Sheesh... At least you are fine." She said hugging her brother tightly in her arms, "I don't want to lose another family member again." She whispered as she closed her eyes with her breathing calming down.

~few minutes later~

"Damn, you are heavy." Rosalia said as she dragged Mickaila up the stairs and into his room where he was dumped onto the bed."

After taking off his shoes, she placed him on the bed, she could clearly see his whole body sweating along with his features becoming more pale, and from the looks of the blood and scratches in his clothes, she could tell that there were several inflicted injuries on him.

She sighed, " what happened to make you become in such a state?" Rosalia asked worriedly as tears were about to come out of her eyes and just then she remembered something.

"I hope this works." As she looked at the object within her hands and looking back at Mickaila who was laying on the bed.

"If you die then I would never forgive you!"
