Chapter 39 - 39 Ghoul
'Found you, bastard.' I thought and shot off towards the large red aura. I deactivated my [Aura Vision] and my vision turned back to normal, allowing me to finally see what was attacking me. In front of me stood an extremely pale humanoid that stood around 2 meters with a lanky frame, with black lines running all over it's upper body which was all I could see since it wore pants, thank Heaven. It had two bone white wings on it's back and stared at me with it's red irises and black scleras.
"So you are the radiant creature I sensed." It spoke in deep voice.
'It can talk. Wait don't tell me….this things a bloody Ghoul isn't it. Fuck my luck.' I thought. Ghouls were tier 3 Undeads and if the books I read are accurate then they are a bloody pain to fight, and since it's tier 3 my flames will have a limited effect on it. It didn't help that they didn't feel pain since they were undead, and they had a good grasp on their skills thanks to their instincts. Which was practically the only thing driving them since they had no memories of their former lives as humans.
"Yes I guess so. So then Mr. Ghoul could you please tell me why you're attacking me." I asked
"You are as strong as I am, so I came here to kill you." The ghoul replied in a hate filled tone while bearing it's black fangs at me. I sighed, I knew it was going to say something like that since the books I read said that Ghouls are very territorial and they also have limited intelligence, which means they shouldn't be able to create complex strategies, which works in my favour.
Not wanting to continue this pointless conversation I conjured a ball of fire and sent it flying towards the Ghoul. Not to be outdone, the ghoul opened it's mouth and a dark gas spewed out of it's mouth and the fireball was reduced to nothing. I was surprised but I didn't let it affect me as I swooped down from the sky and slashed down my sword onto the monster, and it blocked my blade with it's hand but my blade was covered with a golden light and it cut right through it's hand and then it opened it's mouth again, but I flew out of the way just in time as another spew of dark gas escaped it's mouth.
I flew around it and threw another fireball and this time it connected hitting it in the back of the head.
*Raawr*
The ghoul roared out loud and suddenly the wings on it's back started flapping and it soon took to the air. The ghoul looked at me with hatred in it's eyes, before it flew at me awkwardly but still at a fast speed.
*whoosh*
*Bang*
Suddenly, out of nowhere, an orange blur struck the ghoul and sent it crashing into another building. I turned around and there I saw Colin flying towards me with a girl under his arm, with the other stretched outward and his newly forged sword in his mouth.

Colin POV
While I was flying towards the mansion, I heard a loud bestial roar. Looking in the direction of the roar, I saw Synthia fighting something that kind of looked like an Undead. Seeing it, I placed Alice under one of my arms and summoned a large amount of fire in my free hand and shaped it into a crude looking spear then I threw it at the creature. It hit the creature in it's chest and sent it crashing into a building close by. I flew towards Synthia and in no time I was by her side.
"So how did this happen?" I asked looking towards the mansion that was being swarmed by undeads. A few of them had broken through the barrier and were currently banging on the mansions walls and gate as black mist rose into the air but they soon fell to the ground dead or at least deader than they were before. But it was obvious that if this continued the humans were going to die. Accessing the situation, I quickly thought of a solution, I flew down and placed Alice on the ground.
"Here." I said and gave her my sword.
"Uhm,what's this for?" Alice asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I need you to kill as many undeads as you can." I said,
"W-wait you want me to go and fight them?" She asked pointing at the horde of Undeads with a scared expression.
"Look do you want to get stronger or not?" I asked with a stern tone.
"Yes, but I'm not suicidal about it." She said
"Don't worry, Synthia will help you." I said and Synthia looked at me questioningly
"Before you say anything I need you to help Alice on this one. She can't handle the horde by herself so either you help her or you fight that thing on your own." I said pointing towards the undead creature that was just standing on top of a building watching our conversation with a feral look on it's face.
Synthia looked between the horde of Undeads and the undead on top of the building and nodded her head with the sigh.
"Bu-but…." Alice mumbled and I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, while looking into her eyes sternly
"I could order you to do it but I'd rather not so don't force me." I said while staring at her with glowing red eyes and she instantly became quiet and held her head down.
I started flying towards the undead before I looked back at Synthia.
"Oh and Synthia, make sure she comes back alive." I said, glaring at her for a bit, before I continued flying towards the undead and I could hear Synthia sigh behind me.
