Awakened: SSS Ranked Soul king

"Get them!!"

A voice resounded from within the bar as a multitude of men poured out from within it.

"Uhhh are you some sort of fugitive?" Guilliman running right beside Eric questioned with a raised eyebrow as a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.

40, that was the number of people that were currently chasing them down. He had literally just gotten to this stronghold, this kind of situation was wildly uncalled for and unwarranted.

"Ehnn no, it's just my siblings being overzealous" Eric commented as his body began to drip with a molten liquid sweat that seemed to increase his speed.

"Ohh, then why am I being pulled into it?" Guilliman responded calmly but also with a look of helplessness in his tone.

Mob mentality. It was evident that these guys were meant to chase Eric alone. But during this chase Guillimans attempts to deviate had been met with arrows flying through the air.

"Ahhh that…..they probably want to recruit you to join their ranks. They are a bit crazy you see" Eric replied with a bitter smile.

These 40 were from one of the tourch bearers of their faction. He was none to be rather unhinged in how he did things so such a stratagem of recruiting made sense.

No talk, capture the prospect.

It was crude but efficient.

"That…"Guilliman was a bit taken aback then all of a sudden he was pulled up by Eric's hand as he leapt onto a roof.

A majority of these guys were ordinary at best, a ground chase was in their favor but running atop building would be much more challenging for them.

"Do you have a plan to lose them?" Guilliman asked as he followed Eric side by side. The two of them were easily able to keep up with each others movements.

"Ehnnn not really, do you?" Eric responded with a faint smile.

He planned to just keep on running till he lost them, after all the city was a massive place, sooner or later they would come across someone powerful having a bad day that would put an end to the chase.

This wasn't his first time being chased after all.

But Guilliman didn't know this, nor did he like it.

"Hmm, sigh" Guilliman hearing this shook his head then with a wave of his hand a Direwolf appeared beside him.

"Distract them!!" Guilliman barked while he continued rushing forward.

Awoooooo

The Direwolf stopped and howled into the air before rushing the group chasing them in the next second.

As Guilliman and Eric ran across the various buildings of kongshi, Guilliman released several strong souls beast and slowly pulled the force away while not drawing the attention of Eric who was running with all his might.

Before long they stopped atop a high roof somewhere in the middle of the stronghold and looked down.

"Hm…it's not like the third touchbear to give up" Eric pondered.

He knew his bother very well, he would rather cause damage to himself than relent. These guys were no different since they were all trained by him.

"Hmmm it's a good thing, at least I can be on my way now" Guilliman said with a smile before bowing at Eric.

He had pointed him in the right direction so Guilliman owed him some gratitude. The chase was one thing but this was only courtesy.

"Ehnn I wish" Eric smirked bitterly shaking his head.

This caused Guilliman to frown as he too noticed something was amiss.

His eyes quickly darted to right below him where a singular figure could be seen flying towards them at a crazy pace.

S Ranked!!

Flight was the signature move of all S Ranks. It was humanities greatest dream, what was more befitting for people who had crossed the boundaries of humanity's strength?

"You little shit head!!"

Before long, a man with blazing red hair stood in the air above them and cursed, his eyes filled with a burning fury.

"Ahh father, long time no see. I totally forgot your birthday….but I have a present for you nonetheless" Eric said with a playful giggle in his tone.

He said it so subtly that it would take a strong deserning eye to really notice that he was scared shitless by the man infront of him.

He was in all black, with golden batches all over his body, many more so than Eric's and the people chasing them previously. Clearly this person was high ranking in the organization.

"Hmp!! I didn't raise a thief. Shut up and…." Before the man could finish his words he noticed two actions from the people below him.

A representation of the stark difference in their characters.

The first was his hood for nothing son Eric, he choose a random section of the building and threw himself off it in an attempt to escape.

This was a very stupid move since he was fighting someone that could fly.

But as if he anticipated Guillimans character he went ahead with it anyway as Guilliman launched a white spear in the direction of him causing him to flinch and hesitate.

He of course easily dodged it, but in the next second the spear seemed to develop a mind of its own turning back and stabbing directly at him once again.

"Hmp!!" The man hurrumped and turned back to clash with the spear causing a resounding echo to break the air around them.

-kiannggg

The sound was deafening, a clear indication that the spear in question could go head to head with an S ranked fighter!!

But it didn't end there….

Before he knew it guilliman was behind him with a slender dagger emitting energy roughly on the same level as the spear. It was silent and leaked very little energy however the sense of dread from almost losing your life sparked him into action.

"Shit who is this kid"

He thought, a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.

In as little as a few seconds he had come close to deaths door twice?!! What in the hellish horror was this?

'Get serious'

He had no choice but to treat this kid as a real threat.
