[Michael Aroa's POV]

..

..

Been traveling for a whole day now, and we finally entered the Liqua Country. With the increased stats, it wasn't that hard to travel the distance in such a short time, but still I am a little surprised that we were able to do so.

Though, on that note, George, Irene and Walter had to recharge their energy in between at least a dozen times during our trip. Though thanks to [Advanced Time Manipulation] it got recharged pretty smoothly.

As we were traveling, Walter sensed something strange and even Miya was really cautious about it, and all of us then began hurrying towards that strange phenomenon, or whatever it was.

And reaching there, we witnessed something that you can say that is pretty.. 'normal' in this world.

"Ray, we are killing the girl and taking the weakened one with us for interrogation," is what I heard as soon as I reached there and looking at those uniforms that those militrats were wearing, I felt a bit nauseous.

"Killing children and interrogating the weak. Isn't that what the military does best, don't they?" I couldn't help but comment as I jumped down between the two kids and the military.

The young girl was crying while the boy was holding that girl. Seems like they were sister and brother. I smiled at them a little before turning at the military guy who was wielding a katana in front of them.

Disgusting. Utterly disgusting.

"Who are you?" that guy asked as he looked at me from head to toe before George and Walter also jumped from the top of the building, following Miya and Irene, as all five of us surrounded the two children. Protecting them from all sides.

Ignoring the military people, I turned around to check up on the kids as I used my [Inspect] Skill on them, and what I found made my eyes open wide so much that I couldn't believe them.

"Alex?" I spoke out loud as I saw the name and went through his description a little. His Gift was stolen and his powers were weakened severely. For a second, I lost my temper and turned around to those military guys, wondering if they were the one who did it but

"Brother? Cough.. cough.." Spoke Alex with a happy, cheerful voice before he began coughing violently. His sister, Erika, got worried a lot as she started looking around with worry and I turned to Miya,

"Can you heal him?"

Though contrary to my expectation, she just put her head down as she spoke,"his energy has been nullified really strongly and the powers have been stolen as well. I can heal the parts if they were to be present, but more of his body is.. gone."

For a second, I questioned my ears.. I turned to the coughing Alex and ran towards him.

"We are leaving," spoke that military guy as he slowly began taking a step back, but I didn't allow them to. I looked around for a second and spoke with a dominant voice,

"I haven't given you the permission to leave." Walter immediately created a ring of fire and thunder circling them from all around as he cut off their escape.

Then I turned to Alex as I spoke,"It's alright Alex. Just try to breathe, okay? I will help you from here."

[Time Heal(Rare)]

[Allows the user to heal anything with the ability to reverse time when certain conditions are met. Can heal the entire body even in critical condition as long as the person isn't dead yet.

Costs: 100 Time Points/Second]

I began using the skill as I observed his body getting worse every second. For a few moments, I kept quiet as I kept healing him. In the beginning, if there were any voices, now everyone was silent as they observed the situation.

-Rwar!

Though a few Nightcrawlers began moving towards us as the darkness fell, and I spoke to Miya,

"Burn them to ashes."

And without any hesitation, she killed all the Nightcrawlers within a kilometer radius of us, making the military people look at her with pure horror and stupefaction. It took time, perhaps about 8 hours or something, but by the end of it,

"Phew! Had me worried there," I spoke as I let go of Alex before looking at his status again.

Alex's bandages slowly fell off showing those pale crimson eyes as he observed me with a bright yet tear filled expression as he spoke,"Welcome back, Brother!"
