Chapter 86 Captured
As Ray trotted towards where Emma was captured, the wolves finally started turning.
This naturally caused a commotion and hence, gave Ray a chance to increase his pace and hurry.
On the other hand,
Hidden within the crown of multiple trees,
Ray's teammates recorded all the events happening in front of them. They recorded as the human propagators tortured the wolves to the point some couldn't hold any longer and give into their bestial side.
They didn't record it whole, just enough for it to be considered a legitimate reason for the dean to take action.
After that, all the videos were sent to Ray because only Ray had the dean's contract.
Meanwhile,
Ray crouched as he watched Emma being held in chains.
Being wary of the people around him, Ray stepped forward as he approached Emma to free her. However, just as he stepped out,
"Trinngg… Tringg… Tringg",
15 minutes ago,
Emma turned her head in panic as she fell from the tree. Knowing that the invisibility wouldn't last much longer, she knew she had to hide before time runs out.
Not to mention that someone might have noticed the voice that came from her fall.
Placing a hand on her aching back, she stood up and tried to find a suitable place to hide.
Seeing that there were only trees and bushes around her while there was no time to climb a tree, she chose the next best option.
To hide in the bushes,
After Finding a big and suitable bush to hide in, she seized all her actions and stayed there.
Not long later,
Footsteps were heard as someone approached,
At the same time, Ray continued to watch what happened from where he was,
As he concentrated on the directions the footsteps came from,
His mind went blank for a second as warning bells started to ring in his mind.
"Aurora, who is that person approaching? I could feel showers down my spine just from concentrating in his direction", Ray asked Aurora in fear as his hands trembled all over and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"I hate to break it to you, but the person approaching gives off power levels that only someone in the magical realm could give. I advise you to contract and hide your presence as much as you could", Aurora advised Ray in a solemn voice.
"But what about Emma? Even if she is at the boundary of crossing the mortal realm and entering the magical realm, she is no fighter. Not only that, she can't even run away if she wanted to as she holds purely a supporting role", Ray asked in concern as he looked where Emma currently hid.
"Let's hope that some miracle happens and Emma doesn't get detected", Aurora sighed in regret as she cut the connection between their consciousness.
She didn't know what would happen if Emma got caught nor did she want to wait and observe what would happen. Hence, she cut her connection as she didn't have the heart to see it.
In the bushes,
Emma's expression changed as she sensed the frightening aura moving towards where she hid.
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to do anything if she got caught, she decreased her presence to the bare minimum and hoped not to get caught.
However, she also steeled her resolve that if she still got caught, she wouldn't let that compromise their mission and willingly oblige with the one who caught her.
Slowly, the footsteps got even closer and Emma's heart started to beat faster in fear. In fear that it would be because of her that the whole plan would go down the drain and many lives would be lost.
"If only I hadn't fallen off that tree", She thought in regret as the footsteps finally caught up and stopped only a few meters away from the bush where Emma hid.
"Now who was it that caused that loud voice?", the slightly older student called out as he looked around.
However, the student kept looking around but found no one, not even any signs that someone would have been there.
As for why? Emma had previously cleverly concealed her steps and presence.
"Hmph, you are forcing me to use my system", the student grunted as he spoke.
Having got no answer, the student raised both of his hands as his eyes glowed briefly. His actions caused Ray and Emma both to feel their heart palpate in fear of what the student might attempt to do.
However, nothing much happened and the only effect caused by his actions was his body gaining a strange bronze sheen.
Yet, what happened afterward terrified Ray to the extent that he almost fell from his position.
Without any warning, a shockwave emerged from within the student's body and spread outwards, blowing away anything in its path.
That wasn't even the whole of it, as the worst thing was that just before the shockwave died down, it reached the bush where Emma hid.
Hence, blowing away the bush along with Emma. The force caused by the shockwave made Emma fly five meters in the air as she hit a tree and fell to the ground.
"Bhamm, Thudd",
Emma's eyes rolled back to her whites as she fainted from the sheer force caused by it. Not only that, the shockwave hit her so hard that her internal organs were shaken to the point that blood seeped from the corner of her lips.
"There you are, little mice. Thinking you could hide from me with that petty strength of yours", the student spoke as he ridiculed Emma for being weak, not that she could hear anything.
"Still, you are beautiful. That would make a good plaything of you, the director wouldn't mind it, would he?", the student spoke his thoughts out loud as he approached Emma and caressed her face.
He traced her forehead as he touched her rosy lips. As his hand made way to her neck, a walkie-talkie that was tied to his waist belt made a sound as someone's voice sounded out loud,
"Fin, do you copy?",
"I do Van, what happened? Why did you contact me now?", Fin spoke in annoyance as he got interrupted by his colleague.
"What happened you ask? The hell got loose over here. We have our first turned and you have all the information and orders on what to do. That's why I contacted you", Van's sarcastic voice sounded.
On the other hand, when fin heard the word 'turned', his countenance changed as he turned serious.
He looked at the fainted Emma and spoke,
"I will take you and have fun with you later on", with that he pulled her on his shoulder and went away from the route he came from.
Leaving behind a bewildered Ray who had recorded the whole scene from the start.
Current Time,
Ray's face turned ugly as his phone rang upon the arrival of important messages.
Although he had kept his phone silent, someone had sent him a message labeled as important, upon its arrival Ray's phone rang.
Though the timing couldn't have been worse as he heard countless footsteps hurrying to his location.
Knowing that he had little time left before being captured and that he might not get the chance later on,
He checked the messages and found that those were the evidence sent to him, forwarding all that and the previously recorded video of Fin to the dean. He texted his team members to stay put before he burned his phone to ashes.
That was done to leave behind no evidence, and just as he burned his phone to ashes, he heard a voice as countless presences surrounded him,
"Hold your hands in the air and bend down on one knee".
