Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 244 Fly

"Talia… Missile!"

Talia, who was already inside the helicopter, did not even hesitate to quickly step out of the aircraft — as soon as she heard her name being called, she already left.

And as she heard the word 'missile', her first response was to look at the sky. And as soon as she saw something that didn't belong there; just a small dot, really, but she quickly waved her hands and released a barrage of invisible blades.

"!!!"

The cenleons who saw the clouds split up could not help but just widen their eyes. Although they were completely unaware of how far the clouds were, they knew what Talia just did was extremely impressive… and powerful.

Soon, however, they all lowered their heads and bodies as a large explosion erupted in the air as one of Talia's attacks made contact with the missile; the shockwave, enough to reach them in just a couple of seconds.

No, it did not just reach them; the shockwave was enough to also cause Typhon's Island to tremble. Whoever threw that missile at them… was planning to erase the entire island along with them.

"What was that!?" Dominique practically leaped out of the helicopter, "It almost felt like my brain bounced inside my head a million times!"

"That makes zense since it is so small," Talia scoffed as Dominique and the others all stepped out of the helicopter, all except for Hannah.

"Ah, fuck… this is why I should've stayed at home. Rhys!" Hannah just stood on the hatch as she screamed for Rhys, "Since we're all safe and shit now, let's go! Tell your goons to return to the helo!"

"...I don't think so," Rhys, however, just shook his head. Hannah was going to scream at him again, but as soon as she noticed Rhys looking at the sky again, she just let out a loud groan and finally joined the others.

"Don't you fucking tell me there's another one…?" Hannah looked up. And unfortunately for her, she was right — there were 3 dots getting closer and closer toward them, "Ah, for fuck's sake. Why can't anything with you be easy? What the fuck?"

"Why… are you hitting me?" Rhys could really only look at Hannah like she was crazy as she started punching Rhys's arm in frustration, "How is it even my fault that a missile is coming to us?"

"Why do you think!?" Hannah clicked her tongue before glaring at Rhys, "My dad's about to become the president because of you — I'm pretty sure some interested parties want you and these cenleons gone and out."

"...Right," Rhys sighed and shook his head, "Talia, can you do something about it?"

"Of course," Talia just nodded before focusing on the three missiles. But before she could do anything, however, Hannah suddenly stood in front of her, waving her hand at her face before gesturing to her to go away, "...Who do you think you are?"

"Ack," Hannah just rolled her eyes, not even bothering to look at Talia as she once again waved her off, "So ungraceful. I'll have you know that I just had my hair done, I'm not gonna have it ruined with all the gunpowder and the fucking blast — and my god, do you people even smell yourselves?"

"Can I kill this woman…?" Talia's eye started to twitch as she glanced at Rhys, who only let out a sigh in response.

"We have no choice, Hannah," Rhys breathed out, "It's getting closer and closer to us and—"

"Blah, blah, blah," Hannah once again groaned in frustration before raising her hand in the air and pointing it at the missiles, "I'm gonna deal with it already so just stop yapping. Just because you're so fucking handsome, you think everyone's gonna listen to you yap?"

And with those words, the veins in Hannah's neck and arm started to throb and show themselves through her skin.

Everyone could feel it — a pulse. A pulse rippled from Hannah's hand and through the entire prison; it made everyone feel as though there was a weight surrounding them.

And soon, everyone watched as the missiles, which were clearly heading right toward them, just suddenly switched directions, flying up straight into the sky.

"What the freak…" Dominique then started looking at Hannah from head to toe before licking her lips at her, "...Now, who is this sexy woman you've been hiding from us, Rhys Wi—"

"Sexy woman…?" And before Dominique could finish her words, her girlfriend suddenly stomped on her foot.

But while everyone was in awe of Hannah's talents, Rhys was extremely calm and even approached Hannah from behind, whispering something into her ear. Hannah squinted her eyes as she glanced at Rhys like he was some sort of madman. But after a few seconds, Hannah let out a small sigh before stretching her other hand toward the missiles which were already about to leave the stratosphere.

Nothing really changed, except for the fact that one of the missiles once again seemed to point toward Typhon's Island.

"That's… not good?" Dominique's eyes widened as she looked back and forth between Hannah and the incoming missile. Hannah, however, was completely focused on the missiles. And as soon as the two other missiles completely left Earth's gravity, she pointed her other hand toward Rhys.

"What are you doing!?" Talia raised her arm at Hannah.

"I will ask the same question." While Maria appeared right behind Hannah, placing a knife on her neck, "You better answer or this knife will slice through your neck like it's made of gelatin."

"Talia, Maria. Relax," Rhys quickly calmed the two down as his feet started to leave the ground.

"What the—You can fly!?"

"Nikki, please," Rhys could really only sigh as Dominique pointed at him and screamed, "I asked Hannah to lift me up."

"...I see," Talia quickly retracted her hand, while Maria also retreated back, "Are you at least going to tell us the reason why?"

"Once I'm back," Rhys shook his head, "Maria, let me borrow your tablet."

"Okay," Maria did not even question Rhys as she immediately gave her tablet to him.

And before anyone else could wonder what was going on, Rhys nodded at Hannah and was instantly thrown away into the air… toward the incoming missile.

"Hm…pft," and as he felt the air blowing across his face and saw Typhon's Island growing smaller and smaller, a small chuckle escaped Rhys's lips. It wasn't because he felt free, not at all — it was because perhaps for the very first time, he was actually flying up instead of falling down from high places.

Now, if only he wasn't actually heading straight toward a missile, this would have probably been even more fun. Well… it was still somewhat fun. And as the missile became larger and larger, the smile on Rhys's face also grew.

And soon, as it was probably only meters away from hitting him, he summoned a blast of wind to push himself out of the missile's path; not before, however, creating a net using his threads and latching himself onto the missile.

"F…" Rhys almost cursed as he felt himself being pulled, but he did not lose his calm as he pulled himself closer to it. Now that he was actually latching beside it, he finally realized how large it actually was

"What the fuck is he doing…?" Dominique and the others, who were watching him from the airstrip, could not help but just have their mouths opened as the missile flew above the prison, "That's… that's so fucking cool! Go, Rhys! I have no idea what's happening, but go!"

"Crazy…" Talia also smirked while shaking her head, "...As expected of the Fuhrer."

As for the cenleons, the only thing they could really do was look at each other — the Forbidden Land… was far more interesting than they could have ever thought.

And before the missile could completely leave Typhon's Island's airspace, Rhys let go of the missile and just let himself down, controlling his fall with his wind control and just landing straight back where he left off in the first place.

"Are you done?" Hannah asked.

"Yes."

"You owe me a couple of beers for this, tch," Hannah rolled her eyes before shifting her hand, making the remaining missile to finally fly up and out into the open sky.

And now, with the threat of the missiles completely gone, everyone could let out a breath of relief. Almost all of them except for Maria, impressed with how powerful Hannah actually is.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hannah then clicked her tongue as she noticed Rhys staring at her face.

"Thank you for indulging my weird request, Ma'am," Rhys smiled at her in response, causing Hannah to just stick out her tongue before waving Rhys off and returning back to the helicopter. As for Rhys, he remained staring at her, or more specifically, at the 5 Hearts finally floating above her head.

She did not initially have them, but now she has. Did… something change?

"Rhys Wilder," Maria then reached out her hand at Rhys, "Can I have my tablet back? I assume you took a photo of the missile? Did you…

…discover who they were from?"
