In the Gargoyle Mountain, a group of hunters are moving fast from one tree to another. They are hiding their presence. This group is escorting five hunters that are found fainting in the woods. Based on the distance that they were found they are the nearest person to the empty base. The strange phenomena tonight has exposed the base to the surface. It is a safety mechanism that is installed at the base in case the enemy trapped them underground. The exposed base attract too many attention, and all of them know something has happened in the base.
The five hunters might have a clue to uncover the strange phenomena. Who is the enemy? What happens to the people in the base?
"Hurry! The night creatures are coming closer. They have found us."
"Rustle!" "Swish!" The night creatures approaching. The night creatures surround the hunters. The hunters did not stop and they attack the night creatures with the light balls. Silver arrows are being shots alongside the light balls to add surprise element in their attack.
The night creatures that persuing them are not amateurs. They dodge and counter their attack. The werewolves are tasked to deal with the light balls and the ghouls are dealing with the silver arrows. The vampires attack the hunters directly to split the hunters and kidnap the five survivors.
The hunters took out their weapons and they adamant in protecting the survivors. The ground shook and magic powers are wild dancing in the midst of the fight. It is a bloody fight but beautiful magic projection camouflage the fight.
During the fight, both sides are equal in term of strength. They are locked in battle. No one has any advantage. It has become an endurance battle. Unless there are any reinforcement comes from any side the battle is bound to drag until sunrise. The hunters are hoping they manage to hold on until sunrise. The night creatures are slightly weaker during daylight and the vampires have to go into hiding. With their magic power depleting from the fight the vampires unable to stay long under the sunlight.
The night creatures want to finish the fight earlier but the hunter keeps prolong the fight.
"Tsk! We need to do something, they want to use the sunrise to their advantage."
The night creature determines to finish the fight. A vampire starts chanting a spell. A few of night creatures guard the vampire. The hunters know the night creatures are preparing for fatal spell magic.
Strong magic spell pulsating around the vampire. They all can feel all magic power in the surrounding is being absorbed by the vampire. The hunters try to retreat but they are being blocked by the other night creatures.
The vampire that chanting his spell is ready to launch his magic spell. His body glows and when he finished his last sentences the hunters feel dread in their heart and all the hunters gear up with their strongest barrier.
The magic spell is called Shredder because it sherd the opponent into small pieces. The Shredder almost touches the hunters when a lightning strike the vampire and only leave a burnt ash on the ground. All the night creatures stupefied when one of them suddenly died in front of them.
"Wohooo! Hello everyone! We are not late, right?" Oscar and Edward pop out from the woods.
Silence greets Oscar and Edward. Oscar has a big cloud on his head and lightning flashes from the cloud. Edward is surrounded with talisman. All the talisman is explosive and the talisman is linked with a strong binding spell.
Lightning and talisman make their ways towards the night creatures. Less than one minutes all the night creatures in front of them turn into ashes. One second...two seconds...three seconds.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!" one of the hunters screams with excitement. "Oscar and Edward. It's them!"
"Pleasure to meet all you!" Oscar with lightning coiling around him looks so cool and magnificent. Edward is stoking his talisman looks so strong and valiant. He just glances towards the group of hunters that he just rescues.
The other hunter snaps from their daze and start cheering. They just escape from death and it is the famous duo that saves them. Oscar and Edward are very famous. Every hunter knows their names because they contribute a lot toward saving humanity from the night creatures. There are hunters that only able to hunt specific night creatures but Oscar and Edward able to hunt and kill any type of night creatures.
"Enough! Let's leave this place." Edward places his talisman in a specific pattern and blinding light envelopes all of them and they vanish from that place.
All the hunters arrive at another secret base and all of them sigh with relief. Some of them collapse because of magic depletion. The survivors are escorted to get rest before they start interrogation about tonight incidence.
In a castle, there is Demon Society emblem at the back of the wall. In front of the wall, sits a vampire and she is listening to the report.
"Master, the soul glass broke a few minutes ago. Twenty of our people are lost less than a minute. Their location is at the Mountain Gargoyle."
"Less than a minute. Hmmm... The grades?"
"Fifteen Grade B and Five Grade A."
The woman gets up, "I will go to the Demon Society headquarters, this incident has the Grade S enemy attention. We should do the same, especially because we don't know whether the culprit of this incident on our side or stand on the enemy side."
Tonight, both side found their survivors and they are trying to uncover the culprit. If the culprit stands with them then it is an advantage but if he stands with the enemy then it is time to cut the grass. They use their method but since the survivors didn't remember the incident then they try to search deeper into the survivor's mind.
In a certain basement. "Tell us what happens in the woods."
"Just like I told you before, I don't remember anything."
"Okay, is there anything unusual that happens before you fainted?"
"Anything unusual?" The survivor closes his eyes and tries to remember. He can't grasp the sensation that he feels and shake his head.
"We will use the mind search technique, it will be dangerous and you might end up dying."
Hearing that he will die the survivor shakes his head. They asked all the survivors and all of them said the same thing that they can't remember anything. After asking their permission to search their mind most of them denied to be searched. One of the survivors agrees for the mind search but on the condition, they will save his family members and leaves the vampire continent.
After making an oath and signing contract they start the mind search spell. The survivor sits on the chair and the light is turned off. Inside the room, Oscar and Edward join in to see what is stored inside the survivor's mind.
They search the survivor's mind and just a few seconds after midnight his mind went blank. He probably fainted at this moment. He might have fainted but those who are viewing his mind feel the drop in temperature. The room starts forming a layer of ice and mist start drifting in the room. All the hairs in their body stand straight, they feel like the culprit is in front of them.
Everyone is on their guard but nothing happen, fifteen minutes later the cold and the mist disappear. The temperature turns normal but fears formed in the spectator hearts. How strong the culprit to leave such a strong magic residue in one's mind?
Oscar and Edward turns to see each other. "Did you hear it?" Edward nodded his head admitting to hear it.
The leader of the base ask them "What did you hear? Is there anything that I miss?"
Hearing their leader the others turn their attention towards Oscar and Edward.
"Rewind the search at the time when we feel the coldest."
The spell master rewind the memory of the survivor. The survivor grit his teeth because of the pain.
Once again the room temperature drop but nobody cares about it all they want to know what is it that Oscar and Edward hear. All of them focused their hearing sense to hear any sound but unfortunately they unable to hear the sound. They have been rewinding the survivor memory but they unable to hear it and the survivors almost collapse from the pain.
"Wait! Stop here! Rewind a bit." The leader seems to hear something. The spell master rewind the memory "Pay attention and listen."
The sound is almost inaudible and their ears are bleeding when they notice the voice.
"Nirvana or Shangri-La or Valhalla"
Half the spectators fainted and falls to the ground. Oscar and Edward still standing despite being hearing the sound for unknown times since they keep rewinding the memory. Their face is pale but smiles formed on their lips because they have found a formidable opponent.
