Transmigrated With A Resolution System

'I think someone is keeping an eye on us.' Nix's eyes darted about at possible locations in the trees that could be used.

Mune rubbed her chin in thought, closing her eyes afterward as she gave a slight hum while she processed the information.

Her eyes shot open as she pointed in the direction a few miles away from their current location. [Over there!]

Nix's head whipped to the left, far out of the rocky terrain causing his brows to furrow at the sight of the tall grasses.

'That place? Again?!' Nix said in exasperation, internally facepalming at how stupid it all felt.

Whatever that could be hiding in there would be anything far from good.

<At last, you go back to my former territory! How dare anyone take possession of my land, I would rip them apart!!> Raiken snickered in Nix's head.

"Nix, what's going on?" Lank cut in on Nix's thoughts, placing a hand on the shoulder to get his attention.

Nix whipped his head back at the call, his eyes devoid of the warm look Lank once knew.

"Do not follow! I would deal with this." He snarled, shrugging off Lank's hand.

"Deal with what? Where are you headed?!" Lank queried because of being thrown into confusion but Nix's words.

"You owe me!" He sneered at Zephyr, pointing an accusing finger at him, and sprinting off towards the tall grassland.

Lank was pushed back to the floor due to the propelling force garnered by Nix. He had thought Nix was at his fastest, but this was by far faster than what they could imagine.

"Did I do something wrong?" Zephyr rubbed the side of his arm, still wary of releasing his grip from the pendant.

"You are bold, I have to hand you that." Solis pushed on Zephyr's chest in anger. Irritated by the fact that they were stuck and their perfect quartet ruined the moment he was assigned with them.

Obsidian tilted his head at the sight, not commenting like the rest. Rather than that, he placed his hand on the floor, feeling subtle vibrations coming from the same direction in which Nix had run off.

His instinct readily told him to follow even though Nix had warned none of them should. This could be just as overwhelming as the creatures they had faced.

His last words to Zephyr made him worried about the reason he would risk his safety for a low life like Zephyr.

Getting to his feet, he looked at the bantering trio, their presence would not be of any use to Nix.

"We should help him." Lank whooped and raised his hand in the air. Just like Obsidian, his senses told him that Nix was headed for a dangerous path.

'No!!' Obsidian snarled in his thoughts, he couldn't allow any of them to interfere in his plans nor disrupt that of Nix at the same time. They would only be a source of distraction and draw him back if they followed the same path Nix did.

"Lank..." Obsidian spoke softly, trying to calm his thoughts before he made do with his plan.

Lank looked up to Obsidian with a smile, "yes?"

"Zephyr, Solis?" Obsidian continued, "come closer, let's discuss this better."

Zephyr stood fixated on the spot, uncomfortable by the mood of Obsidian, something wasn't right with his words.

"What do you want to say? Say it here for us all to hear." Zephyr snapped, putting his pendant back into his shirt and shoving his hand in his pocket.

Obsidian hissed at the disruption that Zephyr was creating for his plans.

"We are the only four here, dimwit!" Obsidian said through gritted teeth.

Narrowing his eyes, Zephyr looked at the other two who approached Obsidian without questioning his intentions.

"Don't you two feel something is wrong?"

Zephyr's eyes glanced from Solis and back to Lank.

Silence.

'Calm your thoughts, Obsidian, this is going to work out.' He said to himself, inhaling and exhaling.

Giving up on his initial suspicion, he exhaled and walked toward the group.

"So what is it?" He folded his arms and frowned.

Being the only one without abilities, he was as good as a sitting duck, if he needed to scale through whatever that would come their way, he would need to stick by this weird team.

"Nix had always been there for us, now it's our turn to be there for him." Obsidian began with a nod, his face stern as he spoke.

They all nodded in agreement except for Zephyr who merely rolled his eyes, not agreeing with the words. As far as he could tell there was nothing special about all Nix had done up until now.

"Now he's off to save your sorry ass." Obsidian hissed at Zephyr when he witnessed him roll his eyes.

The corner of Zephyr's lips raised at the choice of words. "Just because I'm powerless doesn't mean I'm useless, you beast!" He snapped.

'Calm down, it's all falling into place.' Obsidian repeatedly told himself so he wouldn't react without control.

Lank cringed as he expected some sort of reaction, those weren't the sort of words a defenseless person says to a person such as Obsidian. 'You just signed your death sentence.'

He was thrown into shock when he witnessed a smirk on the lips on Obsidian's lips, he didn't look fazed by such degrading words, instead, it looked more like he was enjoying it.

'What the hell?!' Lank did a double-take.

"I don't attack things I consider weak, but that doesn't stop me from killing them if they step on my toes," Obsidian responded in a manner of ambiguity, a disturbing smile forcing Zephyr to gulp.

"Now where were we?" He dusted his shirt.

"The part where Zephyr was a sorry ass!" Solis snickered, amused by the sound of it from his lips. It felt so much better to refer to him in such a manner.

Nodding his head to the recollection even though he could remember, all he needed was someone to echo what he had said to stress home the point.

Clearing his throat, he continued with the plan he had for them all.

"Are we in?" Obsidian questioned, stretching his hand in a fist bump.

Lank looked at the gesture for a while but followed suit if it meant helping Nix somehow, bringing out his hand, his knuckles touching just the edge of Obsidian.

Solis followed suit, taking the other side of Lank's knuckles. From what it looked like, they were doing a square-shaped fist bump.

They all turned their attention towards Zephyr who was the missing bunch of the lot.

'This isn't right.' Zephyr's heart pounded, wondering why he was the only one who was seeing something wrong with the plan in its entirety.

,m When he noticed their heated gaze on him, he let out a sigh, reluctantly completing the square fist bump.

He let out a gasp the moment a black tentacle latched onto his wrist. "What the heck?!"

Raising his head, his eyes widened in shock at his suspicions being realized.

Solis and Lank had their wrists and body wrapped by the tentacles generated by Obsidian. His silver eyes were gleaming and a devilish smirk was present.

Looking around him, a black barrier engulfed them in darkness.

"You deserve every bit of this!"

Those words from Obsidian were the last thing Zephyr heard before he was knocked out unconscious.

Stepping out from the black spherical barrier, Obsidian stretched his hands, his eyes narrowed in the path from which Nix had taken.

"What secrets do you hide?" Obsidian mumbled.

Looking back at the black sphere, Obsidian placed his head on it, remembering the shocked expressions from Solis and Lank.

It was the only method he could use to trick them into getting into one place where he could use his ability to trap them.

"I'm sorry my friends." He whispered, pushing himself off the sphere, sprinting towards the direction in which Nix had followed.

–––––––––––

Screeching to a stop, Nix hyperventilated.

[Master, be careful] Mune said in worry.

'What I'm to face can't be as crazy as facing a dragon with their massive size.' Nix negated her concern.

<I was so good to you, wasn't I?> Raiken replied sarcastically.

'Shut it!' Nix hissed, not pleased with the disturbance.

<Let me out! No one should be in my territory, they should be burned and ripped apart!> Raiken roared, his voice causing a ringing in Nix's ears.

"Aghh!" Nix staggered back while cupping his ears.

'If you don't turn it down, you would know the true meaning of me being a dragon tamer.' Nix threatened.

<Hmph!> Raiken harrumphed, choosing to listen to Nix for a while.

<Tear him apart if you don't let me out, that's the only way you would successfully appease me> He concluded and let the case rest for a while until the culprit was identified.

Tzzzz!

Nix's head whipped to his right, the faint sound of a sizzle made him curious.

[It's here!] Mune's voice trembled.
