Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0531

On the night the Panaqua Consortium completely lost track of the Experimentals, no one noticed a Japanese creeper vine growing in a winding fashion along a wall in the corner of Stronghold 61 where the battle between the A-rank hitmen and the Pyro Company took place.

That creeper vine had been planted a long time ago, and the walls of the residences on the road were already fully covered by it. Whenever someone passed by here in the summertime, they would get a refreshing feeling just by looking at the lush, green walls.

On the day of the battle, some members of the Pyro Company’s Dusk team had been killed under that wall. After they died, blood from their corpses seeped into the soil and mixed with the creeper vine’s roots.

When night fell, a fat rat crawled out of the sewers and cautiously scavenged for food. It was attracted to the creeper vine where the scent of blood was still lingering from before. However, the creeper vine seemed to come alive as it reached out a small tendril and attempted to touch the rat with its feeler.

The rat hopped two steps back in fear and looked cautiously at the creeper vine’s feeler as though it were a human hand. But when the rat realized that it was only a plant, it became less wary and approached it again.
