Chapter 3 — I Dont Believe In Angels

    "You''ve been silent since we hit the road. Is something going on your mind?" Aletta glanced at Jason through the rear view mirror as she controlled the wheels of the car.


    Besides her was Stephen who was busy scrolling through the screen of his phone.


    "Well..I don''t know" Jason shrugged with a helpless sigh.


    "I remember a certain someone complaining to me how it was difficult to move the wheels of a car. Yet here you are twirling it around like a seasoned expert "


    "Look, I''m really sorry for those years of lying. We were just doing that to protect you okay?" Aletta sighed apologetically.


    "Yeah. Yeah. Protect me by lying directly to my face all this time. You guys should definitely win the award for best friends of the decade " Jason snickered sarcastically.


    "So, where are we going exactly?" he asked after a pause.


    "To restock. Our supplies are running dry. Without them we cannot protect you and do our jobs" Aletta replied, her eyes fixated on the road ahead.


    "Supplies? yeah that reminds me, what''s up with that flying fireball you created? are you a witch or something?" Jason asked as he seemed to have remembered something.


    "No. I am a Saint. While my brother is a Knight" Aletta giggled as she shook her head.


    "There are four kinds of Mystique Hunters.. Saints, Summoners , Knights and Xpers" she added, noticing the look of confusion on Jason''s expression.


    "Look Jason.. what do you think of Vampires? I mean the one you watch in the movies and tv shows?" she suddenly asked.


    "Huh? they have pale skin.. super strength, super speed, tough bodies and they drink blood. Uhm, their weakness is direct sunlight, a stake to the heart and holy water. Oh.. they can die as well if their heads is sliced off" Jason easily answered.


    Of all the lores in the movies, the Vampires were the most renowned. There were a lot of movies and series centered around them after all.


    "Unfortunately, Vampires are nothing like those shows and movies depict them to be. Sure they have their supernatural abilities, they don''t fear sunlight, decapitation, a stake to the heart or holy water"


    "Seriously? aren''t they invincible then?" Jason gave Aletta and Stephen a suspicious look.


    "To regular humans yes. However not for we  Mystique Hunters. Only a Mystique Hunter can battle these kind of supernatural creatures, however not everybody can be a Mystique Hunter. We possess a unique gift that was either awakened through us when we were babies or after an accident" Aletta took a pause to catch her breath before she continued.


    "Saints like me have the unique ability to enter a contract with a Patron Angel, allowing us to channel an esoteric force called Hallow. This gives us the ability to recite Hexes. What you saw me do yesterday was reciting a fire Hex  off my Hex Tome . However Hallow is a powerful force so we need a conduit "


    Dipping her hands into her bossoms, Aletta held up a rosary. Unlike other rosaries, this one was pure White like snow and depicted an angelic being  clasping both hands together in a prayer like manner. The figurine wore flowing robes and has a bright halo like ring floating above their head.


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    "I thought Angels have wings" Jason commented when he saw the rosary.


    "That''s just rumors. Angelic wings is a sign of power. Only the top three Angelic Orders possess one. I am contracted to the lowest order.  The Watcher Angels" Aletta replied.


    "His name is Nephi. And although he belongs to the lowest Angelic Order, he''s very strong. I can barely use ten percent of his power without destroying this holy rosary "


    Peering closer, Jason noticed fine but thin cracks along the surface of the rosary.


    "So this Rosary is kind of like a conduit to possess angel energy? and you are telling me that you have a guardian Angel sitting across your shoulder?" Jason mused.


    "Although it''s not that simple, but it pretty much sums it" Aletta shrugged.


    "That''s crap.." Aiden snickered.


    "Huh?"


    "Guardian Angel? I don''t believe that make believe kids tale. If Angels really do exist, they wouldn''t have sat back and watch a demon massacre through my home and murder my father"


    "I.." Aletta made to reply when Stephen tapped her shoulder lightly before whispering.


    "Just give him some time to grieve "


    .

    After that conversation with Aletta which went haywire, the car ride plunged into an awkward silence. Stephen kept himself occupied with his smartphone, Aletta had her focus on the road ahead while Jason...


    Well, he was staring at a panel screen that only him could see.

    —[You have two Unread Notifications]


    A string of words appeared on the panel screen. Mentally clicking on this floating tab, a new row of words appeared.


    —[Congratulations on Awakening the Ultimate Mystique Hunting System. Host has received a starter pack!]


    —[Stater Pack Includes three essential Items that would assist Host in his early days of Mystique Hunting]


    —[First Item in the Starter Pack is the Void Vial]


    —[Second Item is the Sprite Pupils]


    —[Third Item is the Klypt Daggers]


    —[The Void Vial is a rare treasure that has been long lost to the annals of ancient history. Forged by the genius forge master Saluma in the Forges of Xectate, this Vial possess the unique ability of unlimited space and can hold any non sentiment matter property. This includes Liquid, Solid or Gas. Since the space is unlimited, there is no limit to how much matter the vial can handle]


    —[However like everything that exists, the Void Vial has a weakness. It can only store up a single matter at once. To store up another matter, the previous matter must be emptied out of the vial]


    —[The Sprite Pupil is a cheap knockoff item.. another treasure forged in the Forges of Xectate. It is said to mimic the unique ability of the occular technique; Eye Of the Dragon. This artificial pupil gives the bearer the ability to see through invisible objects, invisible being and the true nature of all things that belongs to the supernatural world. In front of this eye, all forms of disguise is laid bare as long as it is related to anything supernatural]


    —[However like everything that exist, the Sprite Pupil has a weakness. Using it for a long span causes huge headaches on the bearer, followed by drowsiness and unclear vision. If the Bearer doesn''t allow the effect to cool off, they would end up permanently going blind]


    Jason instinctively shivered when he read this information. Unlike the Void Vial, the Sprite Pupil sounded more like a hot potato to hold on to. Trying his best to bury his fright, he continued reading.


    —[The Third Item is the Daggers Of Cain.. Unlike the previous two items, this is Hell''s number one protected treasure. Said to have been forged out from the Wings of all the fallen Angels along with Lucifer in the fiery flames of Purgatory, this Twin Daggers has the unique ability to kill all supernatural beings in existence]


    —[However the Daggers Of Cain currently possess a weakness.. they are damaged. In their damaged state, the effect of their absolute death inducement is limited. The daggers can regain their full strength by absorbing the essence of all supernatural beings slained by it]


    After reading these info on the panel screen, it immediately refreshed, before a new display appeared on the panel screen.
