As the giant cub fell a scream lit the dark night skies. One of pure rage. A mothers cry.
Carpathia turned around to see a nearly 60 ft mother giant, Enraged and sprinting his way. Her cry stirred the other giants from their slumber.
With a club the length of a small hill she rained down blows on Carpathia. Each strike caused tremors and further woke the other giants.
And with every newly awaken giant the pressure given off by the amount of destruction they were causing was unprecedented.
Giants have very prominent anger issues. As such, when their sleep was interrupted they, Enraged took to tearing each other apart.
Carpathia was stuck wondering his role in all of this.
"Ahh!!! I don't have this much time!! Keep quiet!!!!" Carpathia yelled. His voice roared across the giant field. Each and every giant felt the command deep in their bones.
The suppressing aura that enveloped them was higher than any Carpathia had unleashed in a while. And rightly so—on earth, the seals of Nen kept him from accessing any level of power past Legend.
The black world being a sub-dimension attached to earth was still under the effect of the seals of Nen, albeit, the effect was considerably less prominent.
"I am tired and exhausted of this charade!! Who knows the location to Arithra!?" Carpathia demanded of them.
The giants, now calmed looked at each other with confusion written over their faces. Then one stepped forward. His face told tales of many a great years. Scars and a blinded right eye were his trophy for his years of warrioism.
He had on a large rusted helmet, and as he moved the other giants made way for him. Beside him were two other giants equally large.
"Yes! You know where Arithra is?" Carpathia asked the giant.
"He wouldn't. But I do!" A female voice said from behind him. Carpathia froze, he has not sensed her presence till she was that close. The giant with the rusted helmet fell unconscious dropping as a grey substance filtered into the air.
The other giants were no exception. They all fell under the influence of the sleeping intoxicating smell.
"You're the one who has been stalking me! Who are you?" Carpathia asked, his body crackling with a black lightning. His dense aura kept the gas away from him.
Literally igniting and burning up on contact with his shadow energy.
"I'm Azaria, I was sent by Uzami Tuo to get you." Azaria answered. She wasn't surprised her sleeping gas didn't work on him.
With the amount of hype Uzami Tuo had given this guy she was certain only him and a few of the older beings of the sub plain stood a chance against him.
Carpathia however was dumbfounded. Several questions embraced though his mind however the most prevailent question on his mind was how Uzami Tuo had even known he was in the black world.
Then there was the matter of how she found him this quickly. He was sure of one thing though, that this girl was strong.
"H-how!?"
"He felt your presence the moment you entered this sub plane. Afterall you're the first human to reach here in ages."
"You know the location of Arithra?" Carpathia asked again just to be certain.
"Yes" Azaria replied.
"Then take me there." Carpathia said appearing besides her immediately. Azaria found it hard to comprehend the speed at which he had moved.
It were as if he had simply teleported to her. However she was used to the most bizarre things having lived with Uzami Tuo for as long as she had.
"Okay." Azaria said and leaped down, she held her hands to her lips and whistled a tune.
Soon a large furry beast with grey markings on its fur and six legs flew towards them. Landing next to Azaria it released a burst of wind as it acknowledged it owner.
Carpathia watched as this happened with a look of astonishment. That was a wilderbeast. They are very possessive creatures with incredible potential. Based on earth standards it would be graded as a Grade A demonic beast.
"Get on, it's a long journey" Azaria said as she climbed atop it's furry body.
"Sure." Carpathia said leaping atop it's body and settling into the soft and warm furry body of the beast.
"Cha!" Azaria said and the wilderbeast took to the skies.

Odieum gazed down on Riea like vermin,
"What have you done to this body!!" Odieum thundered, his voice carried weight that sent shivers down her spine.
Reia forced herself to concentrate, the being before her had the power to wipe her and her squad out.
And she had no intention of taking that laying down.
Converting herself into pure light she shot towards Odieum. Her beam of light was easily evaded by Odieum, who spun and gripped her in her light form.
"Dfarth!!" Odieum said and she turned back into her human form. She attempted drawing SE to change again but found she could barely even sense her SS.
"Whaaa—hkahh!!" She coughed out blood as Odieum crushed her neck. Gathering all her energy for one last big attack.
"Great Light Rain!!" She barely let out, resulting in a beam of light so intense it bored into the earth.
Odieum as powerful as he was, was constricted by the vessel he possessed. As the light beams bored into his body he quickly flung her away and moved out of range of the attack moving Kutote and Itoyea as well.
"Ohh she still had some fight in her?" Odieum thundered with a voice that defyed reasoning. He layed Itoyea and Kutote down and turned around.
A string of purple runes followed in his wake.
Reia landed a few meters away immediately moving even further back to regroup. With the presence of this new power she knew very well that she couldn't drag this fight.
Her squad lay scattered across the sides of the lake, most of them has fallen under the pressure that that being had released upon indwelling.
She looked around to see if there was anyone even remotely safe. Reia raised her hand her hand and pointed at Odieum, her hand turned into a beam of light that was shot at Odieum.
Odieum using his bare hand deflected the beam of light sending it away, causing an explosion. Reia gasped in shock at this, her photon beam should have done more damage than that.
Odieum at that moment jerked uncontrollably, his SE output plummeting fast. He raised his hand and examined it.
"His consciousness is stable!? Already! I thought I'd have more time to play," Odieum said realizing that Itekan was awake and fighting for consciousness.
"I might as well finish this before that weakling takes over! Fluiz -deéhuir !" Odieum said and from the rune a whip of dark purplish energy shot towards Reia.
Reia noticing it's direction tried to run, but there was no outrunning (Odieum translation in english). The whips struck and sent her reeling.
A scream of agony unlike any heard before in years was released. Reia couldn't react in any other way than such.
Then she slumped.
Just then Itekan's consciousness took over, Itekan woke up groggy, he could barely recall what has happened. Looking besides him he saw Itoyea and Kutote unconscious.
He, with a sigh of relief, fainted.
