I was bored so I made a secret organization

Chapter 196: Prelude to War 12

Chapter 196: Prelude to War 12

Naomi flew rather slowly when she made her way to Mount Everest.

After flying for a while, Naomis holo phone had now connected to the internet again. She pulled out her holo phone and read Mount Everests description on the website.

Known as the highest mountain 80 years ago, but was destroyed in the Esper War. Now, Mount Everest only has half of its original size.

It was proof of how destructive the Esper War was. Even the highest mountain was destroyed and only left half of its glory.

In the picture that she saw on the internet, Mount Everest had a big crater on the previous location of the summit.

Before the Esper War, a lot of hikers tried to reach the summit. Unfortunately, it had now become a big crater filled with dangerous materials and was now restricting the entry of ordinary people.

Yes, Mount Everest now had no visitors. The Esper Association now restricted the mountain. That was the reason why Naomi went to the mountain in the first place.

She thought that such a place would be suspicious, and at least one Executive of the Esper Association would stand by in that place.

Hmm, there is no description of what destroyed Mount Everest and created the big crater.

She had scrolled to the bottom of the web, but she found no further information. It was normal as a lot of information regarding the Esper War was either lost or kept hidden from civilians by the Esper Association.

As she was about to put her holo phone away, she got a new message.

Huh?

Naomi saw the senders name and sighed. It was from someone that she knew, but she couldnt help but sigh.

Hyun-Woo? Why did he message me?

She had a lot of unread messages on her holo phone, mainly from scams or someone who had somehow found her phone number.

Because of those, she often deleted a message without reading them. The only message that she read was from someone that she knew. So she opened Hyun-Woos message, but the content made her furrowed her brows.

What?

The message was short; it was Hyun-Woo asking about her current location. She double-checked whether it was really from Hyun-Woo, and it was indeed from him.

Did he lose his phone?

The message asking her location was similar to the spam messages that she got. That was why she immediately deleted the message and changed Hyun-Woos name to Scammer before putting her phone away.

Not only that, knowing Hyun-Woos personality,

Well, I will at least buy him a new phone when I meet him. Poor man, even SS-Ranked Esper got his phone stolen.

She then sped up toward Mount Everest.

Meanwhile, Melaine fought Andrew without the help of Mischa or Rekka. She was adamant about taking care of Andrew by herself and asked them to stand a bit away.

Their battle was a bit absurd.

Andrew, who was powered up after taking the doping, was attacking the area around him fiercely with the giant sand demon that he controlled.

The sand demon swung his sword at a barely visible speed to naked eyes and gave no room to move. The sand around him created big waves that stopped Melaine from attacking him.

Melaine, on the other hand, was calm. She tried to breach Andrews defense and managed to appear near him a few times to throw a punch.

However, her attack was futile. As soon as she resumed the time and appeared near Andrew, sands quickly rose up to block her attack and forced her to go back.

Their battle had lasted for 30 minutes; the spectators sat on the sands while watching Melaine worriedly.

Will she be okay? I can help her with my power to end the battle quickly. Mischa stated worriedly.

Rekka nodded at Mischa, She will be okay. Its better if you dont get in her way Its her battle, and I can understand why she wants to stop him herself.

Why? Asked Mischa confusedly.

Hmm, I cant explain it, but That guy said that Melaine is his former friend, right? So then, you can somehow guess what happened.

Ah! Mischa understood what happened. She then looked at Melaine, who was still attacking fiercely.

The exchanges had gone too long for a battle between two high-ranked Esper.

Usually, the battle between high-ranked Esper would end in less than ten minutes, as both had a high chance to end the fight with their ability.

However, the back and forth between Melaine and Andrew had lasted for a while. Thirty minutes to be exact.

Andrew began to have a hard time controlling the sand. His breath began to turn rough, and Melaine appeared in the distance before smiling.

It seems the doping cant last forever, huh? Not only that you dont look too good. Melaine put her hands on her hip as she mocked Andrew, whose face had paled from the side-effects of the doping.

Shut up. Andrew snarled. I I will not lose to the likes of you.

He had a hard time to even talk now.

The sand demon began to crumble slowly, and Melaine sighed.

Look your power level has begun to revert back to SS-Ranked. Are you sure you can still fight in that condition, Andrew?

Even though they had parted ways a few decades ago, Melaine still saw Andrew as one of her friends.

He was a comrade that fought with her. They had gone through a lot together. So she hesitated a bit when she fought Andrew and didnt use all her ability to end the fight.

I dont care I am only trying to stall time for the reinforcement to arrive. Andrew had a small smile. It was a faint smile as he looked at the distance.

A cloud of dust was spotted in the distance, possibly from vehicles used by the reinforcement that he called.

Melaine sighed when she heard what he said. It seems you forgot about something.

She raised her hand, and Rekka stood calmly as fire appeared from his hand.

He then flicked his hand, and a high firewall engulfed the area around them.

The people from the Moon of Akasha are strong. Stated Melaine with a confident smile as she appeared right in front of Andrew.

Andrews smile fell from his face, then his face twisted in anger. Melaine!! You! You will regret this!

Blame Avos for this, Andrew. Replied Melaine as she struck Andrews chin.
