Chapter 29: Zodiacs
"Forget about them!" Vincent roared over the chaos as the Nexarians kept refusing their help.
Instead of wasting his time on them, he charged towards one of the masked people. However, he abruptly stopped when he got a good look at the golden-black masks the assailants were wearing.
"Zodiacs!" Vincent exclaimed, and his entire demeanour changed along with his fighting stance as he got in a defensive position.
"What? The Zodiacs?"
No one could believe it, but the truth was right before their eyes. The notorious terrorist organisation was there, but why?
"They came for the Pope, who else?" Rowan scoffed at his brother's stupidity as the heroes formed a defensive wall between the Zodiacs and the Church.
While the Ravens were often held responsible for most of the crimes in Nexaria, in front of the Zodiacs, they were nothing more than class clowns.
While there were only 13 members in the Zodiacs, they were far more dangerous than any other organisation on Nexaria and the surrounding realms. As their name suggested, their members represented 12 constellations known to mankind.
Among the known dozen were figures like Leo, the charismatic and strategic planner. Scorpio, the covert infiltrator skilled in sabotage; Gemini, notorious for their shape-shifting abilities; and many more who were a mystery to Nexaria and rarely showed themselves.
Regardless of the enigma surrounding them, each Zodiac member operated with ruthless efficiency, leaving a trail of chaos and fear in their wake. But none of them were as mysterious as their leader.
The 13th Zodiac member, the group's elusive leader known only as the Nameless, was someone no one had seen before, and most even doubted the existence of the 13th Zodiac.
