"We need to run now! If we don't she'll kill us all. We need as much help as possible if we want to beat her." My katana said.
"I'd love to get some help but I sent almost everyone to help the citizens evacuate the town. I only brought Bahn with me because I know how capable he is even though he doesn't have a Genmochi." Daz said.
Crimson stopped walking towards us and just stared at me. Her stare was unnerving to say the least. The fact that people like this existed in the tree was something I never wanted to think about.
Crimson began laughing and charged at me once more. She swung her sword in an attempt to slash me but I blocked it. Bahn came from the side and attempted to strike her but she jumped away.
"What a pity. With how this fight's going I'd guess that this will last only a little while longer." Crimson said.
Daz, seeing an opening, attempted to strike Crimson from behind. Crimson closed her eyes and flipped her sword around, stabbing Daz through the stomach.
Crimson removed her blade from Daz and pulled out a handkerchief to remove the blood from the blade. Daz stumbled back a little bit and fell to his knees.
"You bastard!" I screamed, running straight for Crimson. I swung my blade at Crimson, catching her off guard and cutting her cheek.
Crimson jumped back and observed her surroundings. She had a look of annoyance and started running away. I began chasing her but was stopped when I heard Daz call my name.
"Don't worry John. I thought ahead and used my Genmochi. You see, its ability is that it can contact anyone from anywhere. So I contacted a group of people including some healers. That's why Crimson ran away." Daz coughed out.
As I stood next to Daz, the group of people he mentioned arrived. I saw Ashe and Steven in the group but those were the only people I recognized. One of the females in the group ran up to Daz and began chanting something.
"I need you to find Crimson and stop her. I brought Steven and Ashe, two people who I know you can work with. Take Bahn as well and finish this fight." Daz said, grabbing onto my hand with a firm grip.
I nodded my head and promised Daz that I would defeat Crimson. Daz let out a smile and released his grip. As his hand hit the ground I noticed his wound from where he was stabbed had healed up. Thankfully Daz was still breathing so he was just sleeping.
"Steven, Ashe, Bahn. We're chasing after Crimson and defeating her now. We can't afford to have her escape, she'll end up killing more people." I said.
Everyone knew what had to be done and nodded in agreement. I turned towards the direction she ran and took charge. From where we were going, Crimson was most likely hiding in the mountains.
