Chapter 535: The man with red wings

After navigating the maze for an exhaustingly long time, Michael saw Sabrina's pace slowing down. She breathed heavily while occasionally massaging her ankles. They could have flown, but Michael wanted to preserve his energy to fight if the skinless creatures ambushed them suddenly.

"Let's rest here," Michael looked around before halting his steps. Sabrina heaved a sigh of relief as she was waiting for him to stop. She quickly sat on the ground as Michael took out a stack of firewood from his system storage.

The shadow realm was void of colors but not void of coldness. So Michael placed the firewood between them and lit the firewood by sending a tiny bolt of lightning from his finger.

Michael sat before the fire placing his two swords on the ground beside him. Sabrina hadn't spoken a word to her since she failed to kill the skinless creatures.

Sabrina gawked at him in the corner of her eyes to see Ghost staring at the blank black sky above them.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to speak to him,

"I am sorry,"

Hearing her words, Michael lowered his head to look at her flustered face,

"Sorry? For what?" Michael asked,

"For not killing them,"

Michael took a long deep breath,

"I don't blame you, Sabrina. You have your own moral codes. There's nothing wrong with that. Just a friendly piece of advice, don't let your moral codes kill you," Michael told her with his usual calm tone and gentle smile,

"They are not mine…" Her voice trailed off,

"My brother taught me the virtues a warrior must have. I grew up learning these from him. How could I suddenly break them?" She explained herself,

"Hmm," Michael just nodded without saying anything else,

"I know you have something to say Ghost. So please speak your mind,"

Her eyes water as Michael sighed,

"You were with the vampires. Did you see them abide by the same moral codes you have?"

She shook her head,

"Welcome to the real world, Sabrina. The foes you will face have only one code, survive. I have moral codes too, but if they put me in danger, I'll break them in a blink of an eye. That's how I survived till now. Maybe you can follow your code of warrior because you have a family to protect you. Many don't have that virtue,"

Sabrina didn't take her gaze away from his for a moment,

"You miss them?" she asked, tilting her head innocently.

"Who?" asked Michael,

"Your family,"

"Why should I? They certainly didn't miss me,"

Sabrina sensed the coldness in his words. It showed Sabrina how much he hated his family deep down.

"My mom always said a mother would never abandon her child willingly,"

"Hmm. You should get some sleep," Michael did not wish to continue the discussion. Hence, he just stood up from the ground and walked towards the wall behind Sabrina. He wanted to check if he could find any drawings or engravings that would give him some insight into the place.

Michael almost forgot to give her a blanket and a mattress to sleep on, but Sabrina surprised him by sleeping on the floor, curling herself into a ball.

"Here," Michael came to her and flicked his wrist as a soft black mattress, and a comfy blanket appeared beside Sabrina.

"Your mind and body need sleep,"

"It's…"

"What? You have something against sleeping on a mattress?" His stern voice gave her no leeway to talk back. Hence, she just climbed onto the mattress and covered herself with his blanket.

Every fiber in her body felt relieved when he lay on the mattress. It had been so long since she felt the comfort of a bed as she slept on the wooden floor in a cage. Never in her life had she appreciated the warmth of a blanket and the comfort of a mattress like she did at the moment.

"Thank you," she looked up at him with watering eyes,

"Sleep. You are safe now," Michael squatted beside her, gently brushing her head with a smile that warmed her heart and provided a much-needed comfort to her.

Thinking Ghost would protect her, Sabrina closed her eyes without worry. Finally, she felt as though she was home.

"Poor girl. Noah and his fucking codes fucked her up," Michael pitied Sabrina.

When he was about to stand up and return to the wall, she grabbed his hand,

"Please stay with me. Don't leave me," Sabrina opened her eyes while squeezing Michael's hand tight.

"I'm not going anywhere," Michael tried to take his hand away, but she didn't let go of his hand. Her grip was strong enough to tell him she wouldn't let him go so easily.

Letting out a long sigh, Michael sat beside her. Still, she didn't release his hand,

"I am here. Now sleep,"

Since Michael couldn't help but pity Sabrina because of what she had gone through.

Finally, she closed her eyes once again while holding his hand tight. Having no choice but to stay with her, Michael sat beside her and took out the book Lord Information gave him. He opened the book with one hand as his other hand was being used as a pillow by Sabrina.

While reading the book, Michael tried to contact Azazel, only to fail.

Michael lost track of time reading the book. He was drowned in reading until Sabria snuggled closer and closer to him.

"Shit," Michael cussed as she climbed onto his leg and placed her head on his lap. Michael felt so uncomfortable since only Gaya had ever slept on his lap. It felt weird for a few moments, but when he saw Sabrina sleeping peacefully, he just smiled and let her sleep on his lap. He even brushed her hair with his other hand.

Almost an hour passed as Michael closed the book and looked at Sabrina. He felt something weird. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something felt so odd, like he had some kind of connection with the girl.

"Should I take a blood sample?" Michael asked himself. He even extended the needle in his APD to get some of her blood. But unfortunately, he halted his movement as he sensed several skinless creatures surrounding him.

Michael saw at least twelve skinless creatures around him. Some carried bows while the rest had tridents.

"Shhh," Michael put his finger on his lips,

The skinless creatures around him were at the Core Formation stage level 3. These mindless creatures were nothing but an annoyance to Michael. He gently lifted Sabrina's head and placed it on the book, replacing his lap with the book.

He extended his hand towards the swords a few meters away as the swords flew into his hands.

"She is sleeping, so keep it down," Michael whispered to the skinless creatures. Something told Michael that they understood their language.

"GGRR-" but one of the skinless creatures that held a trident tried to growl. However, its growl was cut close by Michael. In a blink of an eye, he needed its life by sending a lightning bolt through its throat. While the skinless creatures were startled by the quickness of his kill, Michael looked down at Sabrina to see her still sleeping without moving an inch.

After making sure she was still sleeping, Michael looked up at the sky and raised his sword. A glint of shock emerged in their eyes. Michael saw a heat signature in the sky. Although it was invisible, he knew there was someone watching him. He had the feeling of someone watching him since he was teleported to the shadow realm, but only now could he see a heat signature.

As soon as he raised his sword, the heat signature vanished into thin air.

"Kill him," Surprisingly, Michael heard an echo after the heat signature disappeared. It was a demonic voice a hundred times more frightening than his Lucifer voice.

"Queen!" For the first time, Michael heard a word coming out of the creatures' mouth.

"Hhrmmm," Sabrina squirmed after they made a sound, but Michael quickly sent a soft wave of wind, brushing her head.

"Queen huh?" Michael looked around the skinless creatures.

He took a step forward as all the archers rained down arrows on him. Then, without even blinking an eye, Michael cast the wind blast. The spell created a powerful blast of wind around him, tossing the arrows away from him. But before Sabrina could wake up, he took out a sleeping pill and threw it near Sabrina's nose. The pill immediately turned into a vapor and entered her nostrils. As a result, she started to snore and fall into the deepest pits of sleep.

"Now we can start the party," Michael snickered. But instead of dashing toward them and fighting like earlier, Michael accessed his system storage to retrieve a dark potion. Meanwhile, the archers prepared to fire another volley of arrows, and the trident-carrying creatures poised to attack Michael as soon as he took another step toward them.

The creatures expected Michael to fight as he did on his way here. However, Michael surprised the creatures by throwing the potion in his hand into the fire burning before him.

The vial shattered with a muffled sound. Soon, a cloud of white smoke emerged from the fire, immediately mixing with the air around them. Michael felt nothing even after inhaling the smoke. However, the skinless creatures growled as they grabbed their throats.

"GRRR!" they kept growling as most of them dropped the weapons in their hands to the ground. A few seconds later, they all collapsed, squirming like a fish out of water on the ground. Blood seeped out from every pore in their skinless body.

…

One by one, the skinless creatures died by drowning in their own pool of blood. The nanites mixed with the potion he brewed using the creature's head and flesh produced a powerful poison. In truth, the poison's effect surpassed his expectations. The only unfortunate thing was even though the creatures were relatively at the Core Formation stage, he didn't receive more experience points.

"Shit, he is coming for me!" Michael heard a panic-stricken voice out of the blue. He jerked his head away in the direction but saw no one in the area. He scanned the area and tuned his X-ray vision. But still, Michael saw no life signs around him except Sabrina, who was sleeping peacefully.

"Arrest him!" Michael heard another voice of a woman with a British accent,

"He is hunting me!" Michael heard the first voice he heard again,

"Draven!"
