Chapter 42
The skies hid the sun behind them, the monsters had fled away from terror, the winds stopped
The forest was waiting out of fear the forest needed permission to move..
The emeralds and the supreme dominion saw IT in the skies above
A beast
Sapphire's eyes widened she couldn't believe it the kid she had named herself raised him as her own was now… a beast
Sirius's hand slipped the cold body nearly managing to escape his grip yet he held it
Elijah grinded his teeth against themselves for what he was seeing he knew he was to be blamed for it
He knew what the calamity of hunters, no the world itself looked like
Sebastian stepped back dust settling on his leather boots as he refused to move refused to accept that whatever that was… could be sukiro
His eyes glared red shining as bright as the moon it could be viewed from miles away his hands drawn with claws mouth wide open with fangs like a vampire
He leaped down towards the ground crashing against it
The earth exploded below him a crater half a mile wide formed
They had no choice but to draw their weapons
Sebastian turned towards Kyros "you have been fighting against him?!" he questioned with doubt echoing from his voice mixed with disbelief
"My party had been, I came just in time!" kyros yelled through the debris flying past
Sukiro leaped onto Sirius in one leap covering the giant canyon he himself had formed
The emeralds were stunned unable to react as fast as sukiro they could only watch it unfold
His hands opened his claws directed towards Sirius and just as they were about to strike him
A lighting fell from the skies separating them both..
Elijah
Sirius used this opportunity instantly to his advantage the body in his hands, he rushed it through the air just as sukiro was recovering it struck him at his ribs
Sukiro was flew into the air back to the clearing past the canyon
A grumble.. He covered his side in pain as he got up from the dirt
The party and the dominion stood infront of him
Sebastian's face twitched with anger and despair "is this what we have come to? Why!? Why?! WHY?!"
Sukiro's body moved unnaturally devoid of any bones any muscles just like a… ^$/>"
For he was one
Everyone drew their weapons, the mage flew to the skies to join elijah, sirius climbed the canyon joining the other tank, kyros and sebastian stood at the front with sapphire and the healer at the back
And then he stopped moving, his hands hanging off as if it would leave him his eyes slowly lifted towards them
Kyros blinked.. And he was gone
He looked up his fist above him, sebastian jumped into the air his daggers joined together
His fist met the daggers the force pushed sebastian back into the ground
Kyros joined his daggers struck against the mere hands of sukiro
CLASH
SWEEP
His hands felt as strong as tiltium the strongest metal
As kyros fought with him sebastian planned to attack from behind, kyros had all his attention
Sukiro's punch was just there and kyros was ready to deflect it.. Sebastian was right behind sukiro his daggers aimed at his feet
But just as they thought they would win..
His direction changed he spinned and in doing so the ground beneath him turned into a hole making sebastian's face right next to sukiro's punch..
One punch
Sebastian moved just a little but it wasn't enough.. The punch landed
Sebastian was sent flying far away into the woods every tree he meet broke in half boulders monsters everything
He finally crashed against a mountain 3 miles away that made him stop..
Sapphire covered her mouth tears forming in her eyes at one sided she had the man she loved and at the other the child she raised who just nearly killed him
This battle would be a lose for her no matter who won
Yet she didn't break, she wasn't the one who would, her eyes sharpened "Elijah send me to sebastian right now!"
The tank and sirius were now battling alongside with kyros the mage assisting from sky
"Sapphire, I would have to launch you! You would break your legs and maybe not even land where he is!"
"Doesn't matter he needs me right now!"
Elijah grinned his teeth, his magic activating "fine.."
"Save him, bring him back sapphire"
"I will"
A circle appeared below her and then an explosion she was thrown into the atmosphere
Elijah closed his eyes.. A spell in the making he started to speak enchantments he knew he had to stop sukiro, he couldn't kill him but had to stop him
Even if it would cost his life to do so
Meanwhile sapphire was now thrusting towards the ground she opened her hands using wind magic which she couldn't use much of as she was a mage
The ground started to appear closely
She prepared to crash against at as she strengthened her body
A loud crash echoed through the forest
Klaus looked up from his hiding spot near the tower something just felt.. Ominous
The bangs and clashes shaked the forest, sukrio was puck=hing against the tank's shield again and again as he was being pushed back his shield was nearly done for
Then something familiar crashed against his ribs as he was sent flying pain vibrated through his body
He crashed against a dozen trees.. And just silence
Everyone stood not moving an inch
RRRRRAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Every one of his roars was louder than the last but this was also his fatal mistake
After all you can't expect to roar as the biggest and strongest monster in a forest filled with hunters who live to hunt
Just as the others were losing strength and hope
Hope appeared
Hunters
Hunters from everywhere had heard the beast after all the explosion could be seen from miles away and so were his roars
Hunters emerged from the trees
Kyros smiled
The tank stumbled back as he looked around
Sirius was in disbelief
There were dozens from across the lands of the continent
Kyros looked at sukiro..
"You thought you could enter in the place where the strongest hunters gather to prove themselves.."
"And kill them all?"
His hands opened wide open
"Welcome sukiro" a laugh echoed
"Welcome to the night of the rankers!"
