The shadow was a middle-aged man with dirty clothes . It seemed like he had not taken a shower in a while . Sadly, he was too slow . He failed to save the boy, and lost his own life .
Angele just stood there and watched the whole thing . The guards arrived after a while and picked up the dead bodies . They asked the pedestrians to leave, so Angele started walking down the street .
"The sky is roaring… The sky is dancing… The sky is burning… The mask of a joker will consume everything . The long tail will bring everything to an end…"
Angele heard a homeless man saying random things when he walked past a street light .
Angele glanced at the man, but did not stop .
He walked around the city; it was getting dark outside . Angele was not interested in having dinner, and decided to regroup with his team .
The other members of the Black Bird Guild were already waiting for him by the exit of the city .
Angele walked to the city gate, and Hera explained the mission again . They then jumped on their horses and headed to the forest .
The mission was similar to the ruin exploration done by the wizard apprentices . They just needed to defeat the beasts and reach the destination that was marked on the map . If they found valuable herbs, they would collect them .
The destination was not far from the city . It only took them several minutes to reach a forest with red trees, and they found a hole in the ground .
"This is the place . " Hera walked to the hole and looked at it . "Rock, your turn!" she spoke in a serious tone . The hole was about one meter deep .
Rock nodded and raised the torch . He took a short wooden stick from his belt and ignited it . He then threw the burning stick into the hole and crouched, trying to see if the stick would hit anything .
It seemed like the stick did not hit anything .
"Three guilds already checked this mysterious hole, but none of them found any valuable information . That was the reason why they decided to increase the rate and hire us," Hera spoke in a low voice as she stared at Rock .
Angele suddenly raised his head and looked at the night sky .
There were red meteors falling down the sky, landing on the ground .
*WOO*
The loud noise attracted everyone's attention .
They were all looking at the meteor rain . Rock stood up and looked at the strange scene in the sky .
They realized that a red meteor was about to hit them .
"Run!" Hera shouted like crazy . She released a ray of black light, which hit the meteor, but it did nothing to it .
Angele just stood there and looked at Hera's face . He suddenly felt that his heart was aching for no reason .
*BOOM*
The intense red light swallowed Hera and the other members . Angele was the only one that somehow survived .
"This is not my feeling…" Angele stood there and looked at the burning flames with his brow furrowed . There were four dead bodies on the ground, and he was staring at Hera's body for some reason .
*Crack*
Suddenly, he heard crystals being formed .
A thin layer of purple crystal appeared under the flames, which slowly died out . The crystal layer started to expand to other areas .
*KA*
Angele felt like he heard some mechanical noise . It sounded like the noise made by a ticking clock, but it also sounded like a drop of water landing on the ground .
His sight blurred, and the area around him was brightened up .
Angele noticed that he was standing in the middle of the street again . There were pedestrians and carriages passing by . The golden sunlight illuminated the road and the buildings around .
"Is this…" Angele's brow furrowed .
*PA*
A worker from a potion shop was pouring waste on the road in front of Angele, and the pedestrians quickly moved to the side .
The green waste landed on the gray road, which immediately became wet .
The worker glanced at Angele, but quickly returned to the shop .
"I've seen this . " Angele had a great memory, and he recognized the worker immediately . He was certain that the two workers were the same person .
"Hey, what are you doing?" A man with red hair patted Angele's shoulder . "Why are you standing here? Go to the guild and report back!"
Angele looked at the man . It was Rock .
The man waved his hand in front of Angele's eyes . "Are you still sleepy? You fell asleep right after we returned from the ruins . The leaders are waiting for us at the guild . Come on! Hurry up!" He pushed Angele .
Angele's brow furrowed, and he started walking to the mercenary's building .
"I was already ready before the leader said anything, and I saw the red light flashing! I heard someone calling my name from behind . I had no time to think, and knocked the bear down right away . Chris caught the chance, hitting the bear in the head…"
It was the same . He was saying the same thing .
Angele observed Rock carefully . He was speaking in the same tone, and his facial expressions were also the same .
'Everything reset?'
He followed Rock to the building .
Everything was the same .
The tables looked like brown mushrooms .
The front desk, the receptionist, and the waiters . The wine and the food . It felt like nothing changed .
The members of the Black Bird Guild were sitting at a table . Hera was still leaning against the wall, playing with her dagger .
Angele and Rock walked to them . The conversation was also the same . They were just repeating the same thing .
Angele sat down by the table; he had a general idea in mind .
'This must be the world in this ancestor's memory… He was a member of this Black Bird Guild when he was weak…' Angele thought as he observed the leader of the guild named Hera .
Hera had long black hair that was nice and smooth . Some of her black hair was around her chest, and she had a balanced body with long legs . She looked a bit lazy, but she was still attractive . For some reason, she did not look like a wild mercenary . There was something special about her .
Angele felt like he wanted to hug Hera when he was looking at her . He was certain that it was the ancestor's thought . The ancestor loved Hera .
"What happened, Saladin? Why are you staring at me?" Hera noticed that Saladin was a bit different . He had never stared at her in an aggressive way like this . They worked together for years, and it was the first time that Saladin did something like this .
Angele narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not respond .
Everything else was the same . They finished the lunch and were dismissed .
Angele hesitated for a while and decided to leave the building .
*BAM*
He heard the familiar noise and screams .
The middle-aged man and the boy were blown away by the impact . There was blood spurting out of their bodies .
The pedestrians quickly surrounded them .
"They are done for…" A man with white hair stood up and shook his head . The pedestrians got noisy again .
Angele's brow furrowed after seeing the familiar scene . He turned around and started walking down the street .
"The sky is roaring… The sky is dancing… The sky is burning… The mask of a joker will consume everything . The long tail will bring everything to an end…"
Angele heard a homeless man saying random things when he walked past a street light .
Angele stopped and stared at the homeless man .
"Who told you these things?" he questioned in a deep tone .
"Who? Ha…" The man did not respond . He wanted Angele to pay him .
Some red light flashed in Angele's eyes . He checked the man's memory using his ability .
'From a wall of a random ruin?' He scrunched his eyebrows again .
The team regrouped at night, and started heading to their destination . Everything was progressing like there was a script .
The important moment came again .
Angele raised his head and looked at the night sky .
The red meteors started soaring through the sky, landing on the ground .
*WOO*
The loud noise attracted everyone's attention .
They were all looking at the meteor rain . Rock stood up and looked at the strange scene in the sky .
They realized that a red meteor was about to hit them .
"Run!" Hera shouted like crazy . She released a ray of black light, which hit the meteor, but it did nothing to it .
The meteor was about to land on the four .
Suddenly, red light flashed in the sky .
Angele snorted and raised his hand .
*BAM*
An invisible force stopped the meteor . It felt like the meteor was blocked by a large hand .
*BOOM*
The meteor exploded into pieces, flying into the forest .
The mercenaries were looking at Angele like staring at a ghost .
"Saladin…" Hera's voice was hoarse; it felt like she was about to say something .
Angele felt a bit excited after he saw the surprised look on Hera's face .
*PA*
The same noise echoed in his mind again .
His sight blurred, and he was standing in the middle of the street . The morning sunlight illuminated the buildings again .
"Damn it!" Angele's expression turned serious . He realized that the noise indicated the end of the loop . He already mastered the secret of the time and dimension, but he had no idea what happened . From his perspective, the time was not modified at all .
"I almost made some progress . It seems like I need to find out how to trigger the ancestor's emotions if I want to get a different result . " Angele noticed that something happened when he felt excited .
"If I can make the ancestor experience different emotions, I might be able to find the secret of this realm…" Angele narrowed his eyes, and quickly made a new plan .
The shadow was a middle-aged man with dirty clothes . It seemed like he had not taken a shower in a while . Sadly, he was too slow . He failed to save the boy, and lost his own life .
