"You thought you could enter in the place where the strongest hunters gather to prove themselves.."
"And kill them all?"
His arms opened wide
"Welcome sukiro" a laugh echoed
"Welcome to the night of the rankers!"
Hope had emerged in the darkest part of night, just when the rest had thought the end was near for them..
"Ha…"
"Hahahaha…"
"HAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!!" the tank broke into a mad laugh
Hunters were everywhere now, from the trees to the ground, into the sky above and the beast was encircled on all sides
"Let's end this!"
"Let the beast fall!!"
There were around a hundred S-rank hunters surrounding the area now, mages in the sky, tanks and healers on the ground
fighters and alchemists on the trees above
Sukiro slowly turned his head around looking at them
An entire army covering everything
It was evening by now.. the clouds had already surrounded the forest long ago the monsters had all already ran away the wind was cold ruthless and just about everything was grey and dark as if it wanted to say
Something bad is about to happen..
Just as this was happening
Klaus noticed that not a single hunter had even made it near to the tower, the reason he was there was to lay traps for the hunters placing their bands. Only half of the parties could, so he was there to secure at least one pillar for their party to lay their bands around
Yet no one had even arrived
"Something's wrong here"
"It's been 42 hours out of the 72 and no one has arrived.. It may be related to explosions I have been hearing this entire time"
"What is going on in this forest…"
While the tensions escalated
Sapphire tried her best using what she knew of wind magic yet it wasn't even close to enough, the moment she landed her legs cracked against the earth
A cloud of dust surrounded her
And then a green light flashed from it..
She slowly walked out her breath outpaced..
"I- i must find.."
"I must find sebas-tian!"
She stumbled back and forth trying to walk slowly she regained her strength within seconds and she couldn't waste her time, sapphire began to run as fast as she could and look around for sebastian
That's when she finally saw a large crater on the side of the mountain with Sebastian lying beside it
She gasped in disbelief…
Tears forming in her eyes as she covered her mouth
Blood everywhere scattered.. His body had been broken completely nearly every single bone was shattered into pieces
The blood loss would have killed him by now..
"Sebastain!!!!!"
"SEEBASTIANNN!!!!!!!"
She scooped him up into her lap immediately
"Sebastian?!!?!?"
His entire body was covered in blood..
She instantly began using healing magic the best she could
The green light turned into white showing that this was her using her full extent of the healing magic
The bones slowly moved back to their places and sticking together, the blood slowly started to form inside him
His fingers that had been cut off started to regenerate out of thin air
But all of it would be useless if he had already
Died….
It would only restore the body
No healer and no amount of healing magic can resurrect the dead
And that's the point.. Time doesn't stop for anyone you can't change it no matter what happens
He showed no signs of life
Nothing
A lump began to form in her throat, a desperate attempt of the body to let in more air yet that didn't matter to her anymore, her teeth clinging against each other so hard that her jaw hurt. She wanted to push it down below to fight it yet the world began to blur around her.. Her entire body started to tremble her breath were desperate and not even close to enough
"Pl~ese… Sebatia-n.. Pleas- dont le-ve me.."
"Ple~se seb-stin…"
"I…"
"I- i c~ant live witho-ut you"
The rain began to fall from the skies as if even the heavens despised this..
The rain slowly mixed in with her tears making it impossible to tell if it was from skies are from her eyes
The noise of the water droplets hitting against the trees was all that could be heard now.. Her cries were still there, they were but now it was overshadowed by the tears of the skies
"I.. "
"i .."
Every time she tried to speak her throat would seal up as if a sharp knife was inside her throat
Her heart started beating faster and faster
"I r-ally lov~e you!!!"
"Plese do-nt leve me- yet!!"
"I ned you!!"
"Ineed you…"
"I love you sebastian"
"I s-ear if you lea~e me now.."
"It wn't be lo-g until i join you.."
"we wer-e suposed to liv~e pacefull-y near the ocean…"
"Rem-mber?"
"Jst us- sebastian.."
"Just us…."
"Pl~ase don-t end ths"
"I- want u~s"
"I w~nt to be to-geter with- you"
"To g-row old together wih you"
"Dont leave me"
As the tragedy was unfolding
Four slashes simultaneously struck into the ground making a square deep into the earth's crust all the hunters withdrew a single step
The crimson red eyes shimmered like gemstones
And then his mouth opened slowly into a twisted smile his teeth had yet again changed to the point where all of them had grown longer, sharper and more terrifying than any monster the hunters had ever seen
The rain slowly started to hit the soil increasing by every single second
His hands dug into the soil gripping it like a human who holds onto dear life to afraid to face death
The noises followed were that of shattering as if the earth opened wide
He lifted it up the the corner
Which it did
A near 1 mile square was lifted its depth of 700 meters the very bottom had lost its shape as it was pulled with sheer strength
The sky was blocked by it and Sukiro was on top of it..
