TOFD 297

Lucky 297

"Is everything done?"

A hoarse voice echoed deep in the darkness. 

"Yes, your great eminence!"

Hundreds of people answered his call. They were getting ready to attack.

In the darkness, a man with a hockey mask showed up. He was holding a crimson machete. 

His name is Jason Voorhees, one of the twelve Bishops of the Council of Torment. 

He was given a task to find Chad Ligma and recover the missing Fragment of Excalibur. The item was so precious and anyone would die for it. 

Jason tried to find Chad Ligma, but in the middle of his mission, he saw on the television that Esmeralda Margaret retrieved the Fragment. 

This means that his mission changed. She disregarded Chad Ligma and focused on the Fragment first. That was their priority. 

However, even a Bishop like Jason would have a hard time stealing the Fragment of Excalibur. Not when the Goddess of Darkness was holding it. 

Vice-president Esmeralda announced that she would bring the Fragment to the Obice once everything was over. The Obice was undergoing a tightening of security after the incident. So Esmeralda was currently the holder of the precious rock. 

'The best time to steal the Fragment from her is the inauguration speech day.'

And that was today. 

The winner of the election was already announced. By the power of Luck, Esmeralda won for the first time. After three decades of fighting for leadership, the woman reached her place at last. 

With a difference of 24 thousand votes, she defeated Donald Biden. Based on the numbers alone, it was obvious that their race was close and Esmeralda almost lost.

The inauguration speech would happen in the largest stadium in Capitolium where millions of citizens would attend to hear her voice. 

'Esmeralda's attitude is firm and strong, she is probably gonna go for a war... Since she has bad blood with Junian and Ancas.'

The history between the three countries was quite bloody. 37 years ago, there was a war between the three, and millions died.

For mortals, it was something that they already forgot. But Esmeralda was different, she lived for over a hundred years and she participated in that war. No, she led her country and fought the war. 

'Now that she has the highest authority, more blood will be shed.'

It was something that their organization took the importance of. After all, the name of their organization speaks their agenda. 

"I want to make it simple."

Jason spoke in front of the followers. 

"Yes!"

These were the warriors who were loyal to their Council. They were ready to sacrifice their lives to achieve their dream. 

"I want nothing but chaos. Once we get there, I want to see nothing but chaos!"

"For the glory of the Council!"

"For the glory of the Council!"

Hidden in this dark place, their deep and firm voice was reverberating, it was bone-chilling. Because they were all serious. It could be seen from the equipment they were wearing, which was plastered with explosives. 

Once they die, they will detonate and bring death before the citizens of Dellia. 

After a few minutes of raising their morale, another person showed up.

"Puti, so you have come."

Jason saw the person's silhouette despite being in the presence of darkness. 

Puti, the person who helped Sergio Osmeña to retrieve Leon, showed up. 

Just like Jason, the person was wearing a mask and his identity was impossible to identify. 

"We have to start the mission. Esmeralda is already speaking."

"Okay."

Jason nodded and clenched his machete. This time, he would show the true terror of his name-- Jason Voorhees. From now on, everyone would shudder when hearing his name. 

Puti started painting on the white canvas. His fingers were moving so fast even though there was no light. It was a mystery how she could draw so well in this environment. 

After a few seconds, she finished her job. She painted the stadium packed with people. 

"Remember, I can't bring you back."

He said. Teleporting hundreds of people in one go would strain him. So he could not use his ability for a day after that. Perhaps it was connected to her Backlash. 

"You don't have to worry Puti. I will make sure that I will retrieve the Fragment... Together with Esmeralda's head."

"That's the motivation. For the glory of the Council."

"Hm, for the glory of the Council!"

Jason raised his machete. At the same time, the painting absorbed all of them and transported them to the Stadium. 

.........

......

...

"Hey? Is that a plane?"

"No! That's a bird!"

"Stupid! Those are people... Falling from the sky!"

"Hm?"

Calix started hearing a commotion. He was currently attending this inauguration to congratulate Esmeralda. 

The woman specifically asked him to attend and Calix agreed. 

Yet, the citizens started freaking out as they looked at the sky. 

Calix looked up, he thought the Blood Moon showed up again. 

However, he chuckled when he realized that different this time. 

"It looks like they took the bait."

He muttered. 

Esmeralda already made a plan. The woman used this moment to clean the trashes that would disturb her reigning. She wanted to show her might right in front of the citizens, to solidify her position.

"Well, almost half of the population distribution voted for her, so I guess she must do what she must do."

The difference of 24 thousand was small. 

As for the danger, Esmeralda already had a plan for that. 

Just as Calix expected, a black barrier materialized and protected the citizens. 

"These people thought that they can attack because Esmeralda is weak when it's daytime."

That was actually what the enemies were thinking. Unfortunately, because of the 'training' that Esmeralda was receiving these past few weeks, her darkness became stronger, and creating a barrier under the sun was not a problem anymore. 

"Time for some action."

Calix stood up and his Battlesuit enveloped him. In his hand was Mento who became an assault rifle. 

He started firing up towards the sky. Since these people wanted to shed blood, then Calix would shed their blood. 

His auto-kill cheat shone at this moment. Every time he pulled the trigger, an enemy would splatter in the air.
