Tywin, Astrid and Erik could only stand and watch as a huge beast devil burst out of the building rubble behind Skylar and gobble her up in a split second, they watched as it gulped her down it's throat, "Skylar...no..." Erik stuttered, all of them were extremely horrified, the beast returned their gaze for some seconds before running off to wherever it came from "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!!!" Tywin screamed, he drew his sword and tried to chase after it but so many more beast devils gathered around them, growling and barking, they were completely surrounded, whoever was releasing these devils was definitely making a coordinated attack "Astrid!!!, run after that thing, see if we can get Skylar back, I don't think it wanted to kill her!!!" Tywin commanded, Astrid nodded affirmatively and ran after it, killing two devils that tried to stop her, the rest focused in Tywin and Erik, gradually creeping closer to the boys "Erik, it's just you and me now, we have to kill these o
"Dark magic arts; crimson death wheel""Thunder flash spear... RELEASE!!" Valdrik and Verner blasted themselves to each other, propelled by their red flames and thunder hex art, Verner went for Valdrik's neck with his blade which Valdrik blocked with his fist, Verner's sword split Valdrik's arm into two down to his elbow then he twisted to blade and slashed the arm off from there. Valdrik lunged his other arm with was covered in red flames at Verner but he bent slightly to dodge the blow, Verner spun around him sharply and tried to behead him from behind when he got blasted away by a wave of red flames "You're pretty fast I'll give you that, I really thought I'd take you out with that one, I guess this wouldn't be as easy as I thought" Valdrik stated, his arm that cut in half grew back completely "I've gotten a good grasp of your attack speed, I should be able to destroy you from now on." Verner grinned and dashed towards him again, he slashed at Valdrik ferociously and Valdrik bl
Valdrik stood still and really considered the stakes here, he knew very well that his plan to capture Skylar today was very implausible as time was not on his side, the sun would be up in any minute from now and he'd be doomed, Zaltar and the monsters that he sent after the princess had not given any signal till now, he already began to assume that they were dead, the odds were all stacked against him but he knew that if this operation was botched he would never get a chance like this again. He slammed his fist into his palm and summoned a ring of red flames around himself, Cedar smiled gleefully and spun his sickles; "So this is how you want it to be huh?!!""Dark magic arts; Crimson death wheel!!!" Valdrik launched himself with his red flames towards Cedar, he had to finish this battle as soon as possible or it would be over for him, this fight was all or nothing, Cedar ran towards him as well and swung his sickles at him, Valdrik was wading them all off with his flame covered fi
Guardian society disaster management and paramedics arrived at the resort as the sun rose fully, they had a base at one end of the island as they do in every major residential area in Celestra to help survivors and bring medical support after battles with devils like these, the resort was in total shambles and all that was left was ash and wreckage of the destroyed buildings and facilities. Verner, Skylar and the other interns gathered around Cedar as he got his wounds treated and bandaged then placed in a stretcher. Tywin, Astrid and Erik also got their injuries tied up as well, Zaltar's cold blood attacks took a huge toll on them but it not nearly as bad as Cedar who might never be able to fight again. Cedar took one last glance at each of his students "Verner, Tywin, Erik... you..." he said as he couldn't remember Astrid's name, "The four of you should take Skylar and head to the port, this island is no longer safe for any of you, or anyone at all, I sent my pigeon to HQ last
"Tywin, Erik, take Skylar and run as fast as you can, I'll hold him off" Verner commanded, watching Hector very sternly, Tywin didn't seem to agree with his request; "No way Verner, this guy can kill you!!, if we're going to stop him we'd have to fight together" "We cant!!, you two are badly wounded, he'd take you both out immediately and I can't let that happen, get away from here as fast as you can, find somewhere to hide, we can't let anything happen to Skylar." Hector grinned as he watched Verner's heroic act, the whole scene was just so comedic to him, this kid really thought he stood a chance against him in a fight, or he was probably just sacrificing himself, both ways the result would just be his death and it would all be for nothing. Tywin left with Erik and Skylar, she took one last glance at Verner before turning to leave, this was most likely the last time she'd ever see him and the thought of that made her so distraught. Verner and Hector were now all alone, Verner
Tywin, Erik and Skylar hid themselves in a building on the island, the place seemed to be an abandoned guest house that probably had all it's inhabitants evacuated during the devil attack early this morning. Skylar sat on a chair with her face in her palms, Erik paced around the room and Tywin peeked outside a narrowly opened window, looking out for any signs of Verner or Hector. "Anything yet?" Erik asked and broke the silence, Tywin shut the window and sighed in frustration, "no" he replied coldly. Erik had his hands on his waist and stared at the ground, deep in thought, Tywin bumped his forehead gently on the window repeatedly, the whole room was very tense and moody, they didn't know what to think, what to feel, they could only imagine what Verner would be going through out there, they felt it was best to hide incase Hector got rid of Verner too quickly and chased after them. "Why is all this happening to me?!!,...what did I ever do to deserve this?!!, all I wanted was a good
"Where am I?...what happened to me?...where is everyone?,...Tywin, Erik...Skylar..." The island's forest had become very quiet and only the sounds of chirping birds could be heard, Verner's body laid in a pool of his own blood as his two arms were cut in half and his head was drilled open by Hector's dagger, all of which spilled blood like a bursted tank. The sun was at it's brightest and high up in the sky which meant it was midday, Verner's eyes slowly blinked as he gradually regained consciousness "Who am I kidding?,...why am I even doing all of this?,...I'm just a pathetic and powerless brat,...I don't deserve to be a devil hunter,...I don't have any reason to live anymore,...I should just die already,...yeah...maybe then I'll finally meet my mother,...that was all I ever wanted,...wasn't it?..." Verner began to see memories of his childhood, back when he was just a little boy, when he would come back home after spending a whole day playing with the village children, when his
Hector was aghast as he watched Verner's halved arms fully regenerate, a million thoughts ran through his mind as the horror scene played out in broad daylight, a human with the power of devils?!!, a devil that managed to survive the sun?!!, whatever this brat was he definitely wasn't a normal human being. Hector shook himself out of his appalled state and drew his sword then charged at Verner; "I'll kill you again!!, damn devil!!!"He got to Verner and slashed at him, he gasped in shock as Verner had vanished from his sight and stood behind him "That's my sword isn't it?" Verner pulled out the thunder flash spear from Hector's strap and took it out of it's sheath, Hector growled and spun quickly to strike him again and Verner halted the attack with his own sword, a shockwave tore through the air as their blades jammed each other "He's a lot faster and stronger now, this is bad!!, this is very bad!!" Hector thought, Verner released his sword from the blade lock and attacked Hector
A few minutes ago: The three majors stood over the rooftops of the metropolitan buildings, surrounding the business complex that had Bane's wine bar at the ground floor, they were getting ready for a full scale invasion as they had gathered substantial intel on the identity and potential of the devil that ran this undercity business empire, black night number one, Bane. "How long are we going to wait out here Marvin?, it's almost ten o clock" Renae the new major of the thunder clan seemed very impatient, at the age of 21 she had never fought a black night before and didn't understand how much more powerful they'd be than the common red grades, Marvin the fire major and Hugo the major of the water clan were a lot more experienced and knew better than to jump in this early in the night "We'd be better of waiting here as long as we can, if what we heard is true then this devil we're about to face must be extremely powerful" Marvin stated. "The closer we are to sunrise the greater our
Bane's wine bar, the capital city, 9:30 pm A beautiful horse driven carriage pulled over at the front of Bane's establishment, a couple of men who stood around where drawn by the very fancy vehicle and the two brown horses that pulled it. Two hefty men who were most likely body guards stepped out of the carriage from the doors on both sides and one of them offered a hand to help their mistress step out. Belzara walked out of the carriage and looked around, she wore a very long suit jacket and trousers over a white top and black tie which was elevated by her huge breasts, as well as a black hat over her head to conceal her little red horns, her blood red eyes glowed in the dark of the night and her lips were the same colour. She walked into the bar hurriedly and was swiftly followed by her bodyguards, the men who hung around the bar had all their eyes on this fascinating lady, a few of the regular customers could have sworn that they had seen her here before. Belzara went into Bane's
Tywin arrived at the disaster management base on the island at sunset, the same place where Cedar was taken to for treatment, he brought Erik's dying body and cried out for help as many of the staff rushed and relieved his injured comrade from his hands. Tywin himself was very worn out, he had a punctured lung and many damaged organs and bones after fighting both Zaltar and Hector, the attendants tried to walk him in but he kept on wailing and just knelt on the ground. "Tywin..." He raised his head up and saw Daegan standing in front of him, Daegan had arrived on the island's sea port an hour ago after Cedar sent a pigeon to him during the night, just after Valdrik's invasion began, he took a horse ride to the management base as he couldn't find the interns he was supposed to carry home. "Where are the others?,...Verner, Skylar, where are they?!!" Tywin just stared at Daegan, he saw the grief Tywin's eyes, the poor boy must have seen very terrible things today, and that could only
