Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 40: Evil Spirit

Sol runs toward the Temples straight away, He did not know when would the zombies come after him again.

But there was one more reason, He needs to find Nerva and make sure she was ok, they had separated and she might meet with Zombies on the way.

He reaches the Temples under an hour, but he can't get close, people in the temple are barricading their camp, a lot of people are waiting outside.

When he tried to get inside, a guard shouted at him, "Stop where you are! We need to do a body check on you for injuries!"

Sol did not wear his iconic white coat so the guard did not recognize him, he looked around to find that people around him outside the camp has some sort of injuries.

The guard was about to approach him, but a few meters from him, he stopped in his track, his face looked white in fear.

It was not that he recognize Sol but he can well extreme danger from Sol, his every being telling him to run, only his strict training had kept him there.

It was Nerodia, Nerodia was so strong, it had absorbed an uncountable number of Shard and had killed an uncountable number of the creature, It's aura alone could scare even an elite soldier shitless.

"Why did you stop? I'm waiting here" Sol questioned the guard. "Why are you keeping the injured out anyway? They need treatment as soon as possible"

"Don't come closer!" the guard takes a step back when he saw him about to move forward.

"The higher up are afraid that they may turn into a zombie too because of the risk of infection" The guard hurriedly answer in fear, normally he would not bother to answer him but Nerodia's aura was just too scary.

"What?! Are these zombies infect people?" Sol was shocked.

"We are not sure yet Sir, there has been no such a case yet" The guard replied, honestly.

"What the fuck?! They did this on assumption based on a television show?" Sol was aghast.

A shout suddenly came from the camp, "What, taking you so long?" the voice was very authoritative.

Sol can feel a strong presence from the man that comes toward him from the camp, "An Heir!" Sol was alarmed.

He readied himself just in case, normally he would not entertain the idea of fighting an Heir, but he had a little back up with him, A super strong and deadly blue snake arm guard.

The man walks to him but stopped a few meters from him with a shocked face, "Who are you?!" he takes a step back and raises both of his arms.

"Sol Vestitor, I worked at Temple of Minerva's school" He replied stoically, he readied himself in case the worse happened.

"The Heir Killer?! No wonder, I can feel threatened by you" the man nodded at him and give him a quick inspection.

"don't you need a more thorough inspection?" Sol looked pointedly at the man.

"I do not need to, it was just formality, there is no way a zombie can hurt someone as strong as you" He dismissed Sol's question.

Sol was confused but he did not probe deeper into it, he just gets to the camp to look for his daughter.

Sol never realizes Nerodia's threatening aura because there was no reason for him to be threatened, Nerodia can't even hurt him.

After he asked around the temple of Minerva, he found out that Nerva and the others are inside the temple, They directly come inside after they get to the camp.

Sol hurriedly went toward the Temple, this time, nobody tried to stop him, everyone they got too close to him had their face turn into as white as a paper.

Once inside, Sol was welcomed by Nerva, she runs to him and hugged his feet, "Daddy!" she cried. He hugged her and take his seat in front of the Goddess.

"Your Cuteness, can you tell me what happened out there?" He politely asked the Goddess.

"That is for later, now, now, Mr. Vestitor, who is this guest you bring me? Won't you introduce her?" Minerva point at Sol's left hand.

"Just a creature that won't let me go" He replied, he had wanted to ask the Goddess to get rid of Nerodia but his vow made him unable to do so.

"Interesting. With her help, we may be able to solve our current problem." Minerva closed her eyes, seems pleased with Sol.

Sol waits for the Goddess to continued her explanation, "As you can see there is a zombie horde out there" The Goddess started.

"It was not because any virus-like you human make in your film, It was an evil spirit."

"When people died, their souls are unable to go to the underworld, as result, they consume each other to keep their existence, if they don't then they will perish."

"they become mixed with each other, normally they won't be able to affect this realm, but once they grow too big, they can control corpse around them."

"They kill people to feed on their soul, if they continue to grow they may be able to descend into this realm" The Goddess explained.

"So how do we stop them?" Sol asked in wonder.

"We don't," She said with a grinned. "We let them come to this realm and kill them once and for all"

"Won't it be like super strong?" Sol was speechless by the Goddess.

"That's where your friend over there comes in" she grinned even wider.

Sol's eyes open wide, Nerodia that he knows won't help them, It was a machine of destruction.

Out of his expectation, it said, "I don't mind, but how would you pay me for my help?"
