When Lucas was able to catch the sword, he immediately dashed toward the baby octomorph and didn't bother looking at his sister. He gets closer to the two monsters who were crying and their skin was burning, they still dash towards Lucas as they see him running towards them.When he was now stepping away from them, he immediately cut their necks with his sword that is scattered with Luminous flowers. The two baby monsters were now lying down and their bodies were slowly burning leaves a stinky smell. The villagers were all just staring at the monster whose body is slowly burning until only bones were left.Elder Lolita gritted her teeth and look at Ashtria. She walks closer to her and points to her face while shouting. "You woman! What have you done!? The ritual hasn't started and yet the monsters are coming out. Did you do something!? This is the first time that happened–" Elder Lolita didn't continue what she said when Ashtria cut it."This is the first time because the monster's eg
They keep on running while Charles carrying Drico who is wounded by Ashtria's gun. They have heard people's screaming, begging, and asking for help. They didn't try to look back and focus on their way to escape and go to the nipa hut where Valdo is right now.When Ashtria tried to move her eyes, she saw a group of baby Octomorphs; she was perplexed as to how they could only have seen the baby Octomorphs crawling and eating people. However, their parents are not visible, which confuses and fears her that they are hiding or doing something dangerous, especially since Octomorphs are intelligent monsters.She didn't bother and decided to think about it when they got to the Nipa hut. When they arrived, they discovered that the old nipa hut had been completely destroyed, and it appears that the monster was the one responsible for the extensive damage. Sanya took a step forward and called Valdo's name. "Hey Valdo, we're here! Where have you gone?" Sanya stomped her feet on the floor.Valdo i
The Octomorph keeps on running, crawling towards Ashtria. It roars which made the birds fly away. When the Octomorph was now closer to her, its tentacles attack her so she slide her sword but she was surprised that it didn't burn nor make a scratch. She take a look at her sword and the Luminous powder was now almost running because of killing the baby octomorphs.She continues to defend herself with her two swords against its attack. The monster continues to push her against the wall until its one tentacle attacks her again, causing her to flee and her body to ache from being hit by thick walls. Her bones nearly cracked as a result of the impact, and her head began to bleed.She scattered one bottle of Luminous powder on her two swords and hold it tightly. She needs more Luminous but the flowers from the lake were damaged caused by the elders and the chief. She looks around and can still see elder Lolita laughing seeing her in her bad situation. She calmed herself and made sure to hit
Ashtria keeps on defending, attacking, and avoiding the monsters' attacks but that doesn't keep her body unscratched. She may be a skilled swordswoman but she can't keep on continuing defending and attacking the monsters around her.Her body is now covered in wounds, and her head and wounds are still bleeding. She still can't find a way out, her body is tired, and she wishes she could rest for even a second, but she can't because her life is in danger. She kicks and cuts their tentacles until the parent octomorph's tentacles attack her and catch her. She cut it and, thankfully, she was able to let go and fall to the ground properly.The baby octomorphs once attack her again, she quickly wields and slides her swords once more. Her eyes widen as she finally sees an opening! She continues to avoid the monster's attacks and went to where she finds an opening to escape. The monster saw her and knows everything she wanted to do to escape. It moves to get her again but before it could catch
They arrived at the basement where Sanya and Valdo hid. When Sanya saw Ashtria is completely injured, she dashes toward her and takes the medical kit that Charles took from the house they hid earlier. "Your body! It's a miracle that you're still alive, miss. With those hundreds of monsters, why did you even try to fight that big monster!? I thought ya'll just fighting with the babies?" Sanya asks her while cleaning and treating her wounds.Shuni on the other hand helps Sanya wipe the blood on Ashtria's face and speaks as well. "We're all worried when you told Valdo that you're in danger. However we can't get in touch with you after you speak, it's a good thing that Charles found you, the both of you.""No, the monster dashed towards me because that old lady did something. Even if I'll try to escape, it would still be able to catch up with me so there's no use. That monster looks like just playing with me earlier," Ashtria replied and looks at the ground. Sanya just let out a heavy sig
Lucas and Drico were now in the basement of Elder Lolita's house while Charles on the other hand, seek another hiding place. Lucas and Drico all took the important data and quickly went back. They all read the data and documents they can find to help them survive and more information regarding the monster.Most of the data and pieces of information they read in the documents, they have known already. Sanya was silently reading when she notice that Ashtria looks like she was having a bad dream. They all notice it which made them worried, Sanya remembers her mother when her parents are still alive and that every time she has bad dreams her mother would hold her hand. She's having thought that maybe Ashtria was having a bad dream about her mother.Sanya walks closer to her and held her hands tightly which made her calm down. "Marie," Shuni muttered softly. After that, they all focus on reading again all the documents.An hour passed, and they all collected all the pieces of information t
As soon as Ashtria saw the monster, she looked at her wristwatch and set the timer to see if anything had changed with her presence on the land. She was curious as to how long it would last while on land.The villagers first charge when they saw the baby octomorphs gather to attack them. Same on the other side to Lucas, however, the big octomorph only wanted to attack Ashtria. At Lucas's location, only a group of baby octomorphs gathered and they manage to kill each one of them thanks to the Luminous powders they have made for hours only with the help of the villagers' talents."Charles, you'll be in charge here. I'll help Ash- I mean Marie to the other side. It seems that the monster was now at her location," Lucas ordered."Roger that," Charles said with a nod. Lucas immediately ran and take off his sword when some of the octomorphs are attacking him and were all trying to block his path.When he is now near Ashtria's location, he can see that Ashtria was having a hard time fighting
The arrow almost hit its eyes because of the poison, the monster's movements somehow slowed down for a moment which made him warier of the poison. Ashtria moves her head to look at Sanya who's shocked to see what happened."Sanya! Do you still have poisons left?" she shouted which made Sanya moves her head and looks at Ashtria."Sorry miss, I've only got two Scosyth poison bottles left. Each bottle can only be used up to three arrows, which means I can only use six arrows with poison," Sanya answered while looking at Ashtria."Okay, go back to Valdo and give him one bottle. Tell him to use that poison, it will benefit us to kill that monster. After that, go back as we need your help," Ashtria said and jump down from the rooftop. Sanya nodded and run as fast as she can to went back to where Valdo is.Lucas on the other hand is now gasping while holding his sword tightly. He comb his air and shook his head and smirks afterward as he stared at the monster. "It looks like I'm just practic
The two of them were now exhausted trying to gasp some air as they were holding their swords. It seems that Ashtria can be able to catch up with him now causing Callan to grit his teeth in frustration and Ashtria to smirk. "It seems the lady did something that made her stronger or maybe because of eager to save her kidnapped friend?" Callan smirked as he stared at Ashtria. "Think what you want, Callan. This time this lady you are looking to will not run away from you anymore." Ashtria tightened her grip on her sword and started attacking Callan. The lad defended himself from her attacks and was surprised to see how fast Ashtria's movement was. The two just keep on fighting with their swords clanging and causing a spark. They push each other until two of them decide to jump backward. Ashtria began to attack again, sliding her sword to cut Callan's hands but the young lad was able to hold the tip of his sword and tried to take it from her hand but Ashtria
[Wing Side of Underground Laboratory, Secret Lab.] "Don't touch me!" Sanya was shouting and was trying to kick all the men who were holding her hands and feet, taking her to another secret laboratory that only executive members knew. They locked her hands and feet causing her unable to move. One of the scientists, the team leader forcibly held Sanya's face and pinched it. "Your blood is important to us. If we can't take your blood as samples for our experimentation then it is better to make you one of them and tame you to follow our orders." Sanya spit her saliva towards his face and cursed him. "As if you could tame someone like me! I am my brother's sister, and no one would be able to tame me if it was not him! I will only follow his and Ashtria's orders!" The team leader slaps her face causing it to turn red. Sanya glared at them. "Inject it into her body." Sanya started to shout and tried to kick them but her strength alone could
Akeria immediately attacks him however, Lucas still can't be able to see her because of the darkness causing him to have multiple wounds caused by Akeria's sword. He was dropped to the ground, gritting his teeth in frustration. When he senses something is coming towards him, he immediately defends the attack and jumps backward, gasping for air as he looks around, trying to sense Akeria. "What? Are you afraid of being killed? Tell me. Beg to me! Beg to me to save your life!" Akeria shouts as she continues to laugh staring at Lucas.Lucas was focusing on trying to sense Akeria and her attacks. He was thinking about how could Akeria was able to have something ability like an eye that could see right through the darkness. "Are the eyes that were put in her all experimented eyes? Or maybe it is from the monster's eyes?' he thought to himself. 'I needed to end this but how could I do it?' he thought to himself again. His eyes widen when he senses a gust of wind touching his body at his ba
Akeria licked the blood from her hands and gave Lucas another glare causing him to feel heavy because of her glaring eyes. "It seems you also don't know that I am one of the experimented people in the city, Mr. Which means I have abilities that normal humans like you don't have. That is why I am part of the Elite Force you, right?" she speaks as she continues to walk closer to Lucas but Lucas doesn't even bother to move and gives Akeria a stare as well. "Then let me experience a battle with an experimented woman, miss," Lucas smirks causing Akeria to get mad. She changes her sword into a tall stick with sharp metal that could cut a person's body on each end of the stick. Her strength became twice as strong before causing Hero to doubt his skill.'An experimented person? Can I beat her?' he thought to himself as he twisted his sword and prepared himself for the battle. Akeria immediately dashed towards Lucas and bent her left knee, sliding her right legs while twisting the stick tar
A lot of bombing and clanging of swords can be heard in the entire Technicia City as some of the civilians in the City also joined the war that the Ruckus Organization led. Chika attacks all of the robot weapons that attack them with her abilities, transforming herself into a different kind of weapon. "Rock it on, Chika!" Saraya shouted looking at Chika breaking and burning all robots attacking their team. Shouting and screaming of people and scientists, bodies scattered caused by the attacks can also be seen in the entire city. Kings and other higher ranks in the Archains Countrial watched what was happening in the Technicia City where people believed that this City was one of the main assets of the Country. They were now having debates and planning to give the City a backup however, Valdo was able to completely control the system of the City and immediately put different kinds of barriers to tighten the security so people outside couldn't enter. "Who told you to get involved in o
[Four in the morning, at Ashtria's team] They are all now gathered in their designated place. Ashtria was standing beside Zero, giving his speech to his members. Trying to give them the courage to attack and take revenge for what the governments in Technicia City to them. The Ruckus organization's members are all filled with rage. They desired vengeance and to make them suffer as they had done to their loved ones, themselves, and their families. "Are we prepared for this war!?" Zero shouted putting his hands on his back and staring at them. "Yes, sir!" the members shouted back. "Do we accept death and whatever happens in our lives after this war!?" Zero shouted once again. "Yes, sir!" the members shouted back. Zero has finished his speech and they have started to split to start the attack. The first group that attacks has already started silently, it is led by a woman named Asturias who’s only not known for her beauty but the courage and bravery she had in different kinds of ba
"So, who’s the leader?" "There is no leader here, we treat each other equally. Set aside about that matter, it isn’t important, can you tell us your plan as fast as possible? You’re the one who said that the time is ticking. We need to save our friend, as soon as possible," Ashtria answered Zero’s question. The man beside Zero started to take a step and take out his sword when he become irritated by what Ashtria is spouting. The three also warned the man not to lay hands on her, Zero stops the man by widening his arm. 'If that little robot will go on a rampage, it would be dangerous for all of us,' Zero thought to himself as he keep on staring at Chika and then turn his look to Ashtria who was seriously glaring at him. "Alright, I see your point. As I previously stated, we have spies in the underground laboratory who have sent us messages about what's going on; we already know their plan, and as a result, we are already winning this," Zero stated. "Now, I will state our plan. Firs
They all attacked and only injured some of them; they didn't try to kill them because they needed their strength to attack the government and save Sanya.Only Ashtria was the one who focus to attack and fight the leader of the group but even though she keeps on attacking him nonstop, she still hasn’t laid an attack on him. The man didn’t even use his weapon to fight her which made her feel so inferior. It wasn’t a surprise to her as she already knows how strong the man is but even didn’t gave him a scratch, she feels so irritated and disappointed in herself about how weak she really is. Mr. Blacksmith was correct; the man is much stronger than she is, but she must control that man or it will be too late for them. If she can't beat him with strength, the only way she can win is to beat him with knowledge. But how can she beat him with that? The man is also wise than her. "That’s it? That’s the only thing you can do? You dare to attack me yet even a scratch you can’t do it?" The man sn
Chika noticed Ashtria’s reactions, she saw her shake her head and continue walking. She just shrugged her shoulders and continue to walk as well. The four of them gathered in the middle of the forest. It is safe for them to walk as there are no wild monsters around, however, they still need to be aware or careful as machines and bots are everywhere. Mr. Blacksmith speaks to the earpiece they are wearing, only Lucas and Ashtria had one. He told them to go to a bar called "Darienio" as the leader of squad one of the organization resides there. Lucas clenches his fist as he cannot wait to save his sister, he is worried that there might be something going on with her right now. He was afraid that Sanya will experience the things he saw when he trespass into the underground laboratory. Valdo notices his behavior so he taps Lucas’s back and smiled to bring him back to his consciousness. Lucas’s eyes widened and look at him, he closes his eyes for seconds and seriously looks at their path
