Chapter 197: CHAPTER 197 – This place is empty.
'Argh…
Where am….'
Misty groaned as she opened her eyes.
Her memories from before were a little fuzzy because of all the headaches she had in the end, but she didn't get to recollect her thoughts as she heard a voice.
"Looks like you're awake now."
Her eyes snapped open, and she hurriedly jumped away from the position she was in.
"Whoa, what was that for?"
The same voice from before was heard.
It was a male voice that sounded a bit too much relaxed.
But when Misty saw who it was and the place she was in, the things that happened before came rushing to her.
She looked at Alice, Alex, and Ann sitting in front of her, and then she looked at the scenery of the coast.
The corpse of some Aquathrens could still be seen so she could tell that she was not out for long, but as she recalled what had happened, her eyes started tearing up again.
But as he saw what was happening, Alex spoke up.
"We have been waiting for you to wake up."
'I don't want to deal with the emotional drama….'
If it was Alice, Ann, or Noctura, he would've already burned the whole gate to the ground before he would've heard what caused them harm, but for someone he didn't even know.
'I don't have time to waste.'
Well, he was a busy man, he had to return home and 'help' Alice and Ann grow stronger.
"Huh?"
Misty let out a confused voice as she wiped her tears away.
Hearing Alex's voice made her realize that she was not alone and that there were people in front of her.
"We still don't know whom you referred to as 'them' when you said: 'help them'," It was Alice who spoke as she looked at Misty questioningly.
But Misty widened her eyes as she heard it.
"You guys haven't saved them yet?!?!"

Misty widened her eyes in worry as she asked.
"As she said, we still don't know whom you wanted us to save or where we have to go, so what do you expect us to do?"
Alex tilted his head as he questioned.
"W-we need to hurry, their life is in danger!!"
Misty quickly stood up, walked close to Alex, and held his hands.
"P-please, help them, they are going to die!"
She desperately asked for him to save them.
"As I said, you still haven't told us whom you are referring to as them, and from what do we need to save them."
Alex didn't jerk away her hands, but he did frown a bit since he could feel Alice and Ann's eyes piercing holes in him.
"It's the member of the Destroyer guild, you need to save them!"
Misty exclaimed in urgency.
Blue Empire's guild was also called Destroyer Guild, after all.
"And who do we need to save them from?"
Alex asked as he raised his brow questioningly.
No one noticed it, but Misty was treating Alex like the leader of the group, even though she just knew them from the news and stuff.
It might be because of Alex's temperament, maybe because of his bloodline's ability that made the opposite sex more relaxed around him, or maybe because Alice and Ann looked at Alex for his opinion every time.
But to Misty, Alex did seem like the leader.
"I-it's Argon…."
Misty muttered in a low voice, but it was clear to Alex, Ann, and Alex.
Their eyes sharpened as they heard her words.
*Whistle*
"That's something I didn't expect to hear…"
Alex whistled in amazement as he spoke what was on his mind.
"Can we go now???"
Misty looked at Alex and requested with tears in her eyes.
Alex turned toward Alice and Ann, causing them to smile.
After all, which girl won't like their man asking for their opinion?
"Please, Miss Alice, all of their lives are in danger!"
Misty then turned to Alice as she requested.
Alice nodded her head and stood up.
"I guess we are going."
Alex stood up as well.
"Can you please tell us everything that went down before you ran away as we move?"
Ann asked just as they were about to start rushing with Misty leading them.
"Yes."
Misty nodded her head as she didn't see any problem with that.
"Please don't leave a single detail out as it might not seem important to you, but it might be crucial for us."
Ann reminded and Misty nodded her head.
With that done, they started sprinting toward the same cave that Argon took all of the raiders from the Blue Empire to.
......................................
"This place looks creepier than you made it sound like…."
Alice muttered as she walked into the cave along with Alex, Ann, Misty, and Noctura who was invisible from the start.
"…. No."
Misty spoke as she looked around with caution.
"No?"
Alice looked at her questioningly.
"It was not this creepy and dark before, it was, but now it feels darker, it feels…."
Misty replied but her words were completed by Alex.
"Evil."
Misty, Ann, and Alice looked at Alex.
"Did you find something, Alex?"
Ann was the one who asked the question.
All of them looked at Alex but Misty was shocked to see Alex's eyes that were shining with Black golden-colored iris and black sclera.
'Wow…'
She was amazed by it, but it disappeared when Ann turned toward Ann to answer her question.
"First of all, this place is empty, no one is here."
Alex answered Ann, but Misty's eyes widened.
"No, no, they must be here, they were here, I left them all here.
Kelvin was killed right there, I saw it with my own eyes, you have to believe me!"
She started pointing out where what was supposed to be and what she remembered, but then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"I didn't say that you lied to us, all I said is that they are not here anymore."
Alex used some of his incubus power in his voice and it calmed Misty in a jiffy.
*Inhale*
Misty took a deep breath and nodded her head.
"Thank you."
She bowed her head to Alex.
She didn't know what he did, but she knew that he did something to calm her down.
"It's all right."
Alex just waved it off.
'The last thing I want right now is the only one who knows what happened here to go crazy.'
Alex sighed inwardly.
He was looking at the bigger picture and he knew how things could turn bad for them if Misty went crazy.
"Not even a dead body?"
Ann suddenly asked.
"Hm?" Alex looked at her curiously.
"I mean, you can't even detect a dead body in the cave?"
Ann asked again.
"Not yet, but I think I know where we can find some clues…."
Alex replied before he turned toward Misty.
"Where did you say he was taking the raiders to?"
