Chapter 233: The other teams (4)
"What...what is all this?"
Solos stared at the sky above the Temple district. He recognized some of the phantoms up in the air, clashing wildly against each other. The shockwaves of their battle spread far and wide. Solos stood miles away yet felt the turbulent air blow in his face.
Ericka and Edward stood behind him. Although they didn’t speak, their wide eyes and open mouths indicated they shared his apprehension. Edward trembled. As an average man, he never experienced something so fascinating yet horrifying. He stood rooted in place. Fear clouded his mind.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a loose tile break free from a roof and fly toward them. Solos and the boy beside him faced away from them. Ericka was so transfixed she didn’t notice the tile. It happened in a second. But that was all Edward needed. He blocked the tile with his body. He grimaced as the sharp edge cut in his back.
"What’s wrong?" Ericka asked. She didn’t see what happened. She only saw Edward move to her side.
"N-Nothing." Edward shook his head hurriedly. He moved back to his position behind Ericka. The cold night wind caused a biting feeling on his back. But the average man stood still.
Fascinating.
He winced when he heard the voice in his head. No matter how many times it occurred, he couldn’t get used to it. He peeked at the boy. His handsome features shone like a bright star in the dark night.
