Return of the last survivor

Chapter 57: Major General Kyle

*Screech*

Ethan's SUV came to a halt. Ahead him was an winding line of cars, waiting for the chance to enter Merlin's Sanctum. Behind him, was a never ending stream of cars lining up for that very chance.

In the distance, Ethan could see around 20 people in black clothes, with the symbol of a chaotic mess of colours embroidered on their backs. This was Merlin's spell; [Elemental Storm], and also the symbol which he used to prove his identity.

Behind the blockade made by the 20 people, was the bridge, which lead to an enormous wall. A wall so tall than even 40 people standing on each other's shoulders would not reach the top.

As time passed, the car slowly inched forward, moving closer to Ethan's goal of bringing his only living relative to a safe place.

Surprisingly, not a single zombie was seen near them during the time that they were in the line. In fact, once he had reached the 1km mark from Staten Island, he had noticed that the number of zombies blocking the way drastically decreased, until the point where there weren't any in sight.

"NEXT!!" yelled a man whose stare seemed to demand respect and awe.

Finally it was their turn!

Taking in a deep breath, Ethan drove his car forward, enough to have a conversation with the man that let out a scream from earlier.

Opening the window, the man closed one eye and stared at Ethan for a long time.

After around 5 minutes of awkward silence, and multiple changes in expression of the man in black uniform, he let out a sigh of defeat and turned his gaze towards Maya.

Within moments, he quickly began writing information down.

===============

Nodding slightly, the man said with a deep voice, "Wait for a moment"

He quickly turned around and ran into office like structure created for the lodging of the people on duty at the bridge.

Before entering, he injecting some mana into his badge, which lit up with all kinds of information about himself, including his balance, and held it up to the head of a humanoid creature standing guard at the door.

After few seconds, it let out a soft *beep*, before allowing the man in black uniform to enter, before standing guard once more.

Upon entering, the man did not waste any time, and ran to the stairs, and briskly walked up to the large door at the end of the brightly lit passage.

*knock knock*

Knocking softly on the door twice, the man stopped any other action and waited patiently.

The door slowly opened after around a minute, and a voice floated towards the man in black.

"What is it Carson? U could have just called me. Why did u have to run all the way here?"

Stuttering slightly, the man named Carson replied, "S- Sir Kyle, he is at least level 3. I doubt he is level 4, since I could still [Inspect] his name, but the rest were all question marks, meaning he is definitely stronger than me."

"Oh! It has been quite some time since a level 3 has come. Bring me to him." Replied Kyle with a hint of interest in usually his icy tone, as he stood up from his seat and put on his coat.

Walking out of the office structure, Kyle's eyes immediately fell upon Ethan, who felt a piercing gaze lock onto him, sending shivers up his spine.

Kyle took in a deep breath through his already lit cigarette, and exhaled slowly which walking towards Ethan's car.

After a brief moment to staring at Ethan, Kyle began to speak, the contents of which made Ethan's eyes constrict, while Carson was quickly noting it down.

Name: Kyle Morgan

Race: Human

Class: Knight

State: Terrified

Ethan's mind was in a mess as his thoughts rapidly clashed against each other.

'What should I do? Should I run? No, this guy is definitely strong. I won't be able to escape, even if I was alone. Fight him? Haha, then I'm dead for sure. What can I do? He can see even my skill! What else can I do?'

Just as Ethan was resigning himself to whatever fate had planned for him, Kyle finished reciting his status, and spoke.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Major General Kyle. Second only to General Merlin, and Lieutenant General Sean. I welcome you to Merlin's Sanctum. Follow Carson here, he will show you around and do the needful."

With this, Kyle vanished from sight, returning at the door of the office like structure. After scanning his mana infused card, he vanished once more, appearing inside his room on the first floor.
