If she knew then she would have just escaped instead of staying here and killing more.
Even though it would be very difficult to escape at the very least she would have been saved from this.
But then she wouldn't know that this is a place that must be destroyed.
'Seriously, everything has its own price indeed,' she commented in her head, this time no longer linked to Vermilion Bird.
Soon a stand still entered their battle.
It seems that Raynisha was close to being drained as well.
Well Saphira barely attacked herself but because of what she was using, she too is close to being drained.
'What should I do with this? Looking at her it is pretty obvious she won't let me leave this place alive unless I give her a surprise attack. But then I will be drained and Vermilion Bird is no longer strong enough to carry me all the way the next land.'
She was actually hoping that they would come but with Raynisha's appearance, she is currently wishing that they won't.
This would greatly affect them and that means that they will be placed in danger instead.
'Come on, Saphira think. Think properly of what you will have to do,' she furrowed her brows.
She was stunned when Vermilion Bird suddenly returned inside her.
'What are you doing?' she asked.
"Saphira!!"
She turned and there they were flying towards her.
The six of them coming all the way here.
'Why now?' she gritted her teeth.
"Sa-"
As they stepped down to where she is, Raynisha once again appeared.
Their eyes went wide in shock to the point of being unable to move.
Good thing their beasts were out and they were able to take their hosts away from Raynisha's attack.
"Raynisha," Drake spoke in a tone filled with hatred.
Saphira's mind was actually turning as she think more on how they could leave this place.
She was able to weaken Raynisha but that doesn't mean Raynisha could no longer fight.
They still have no idea just how far this fight could go on.
Because now, Saphira could actually bitterly see that Raynisha's aura grew stronger instead of weakening.
'She wasn't using his full power in fighting me. She knew I was prolonging on purpose.'
She should have known though, Raynisha was really smart.
And she couldn't hold a candle towards her.
"Saphira."
Hunter was shock to see Raynisha but he knew his own priority, he can see that Saphira is close to her limit.
"Get everyone away from here, we can't fight here. Everyone's mind is too disturbed," Saphira grabbed his arm and said.
Hunter understood very well for even he was shaken at the appearance of Raynisha.
But somehow he couldn't register what Saphira was telling him to do.
She has the same face only the colors were changed but it was very obvious that this was Raynisha through and through.
"RAYNISHA!!!!"
Drake rushed forward, not just him even the rest.
Seeing her had shaken them to the point that all they wanted was to kill her.
"Hunter!!" Saphira called to him.
Raynisha looked at them but there was no change on her face, it remained cold and unemotional.
She raised her hands and bigger and stronger black fires came about.
The other three rushed and supported Drake, even they wanted to gte back at her.
"HUNTER!!" Saphira shouted again finally snapping Hunter out of his shock.
"PULL THEM BACK!!!" she shouted again.
He looked at her with furrowed brows.
"PULL THEM BACK IT IS NOT YET TIME!!! THEY CAN'T DEFEAT HER!!!" she kept shouting.
Something uncharacteristic for her.
"Please pull them back, I have battle her for a while now but she was not drained at all. Pull them back," she continued still feeling distressed at how weak she was.
They will die, she can tell.
They may be able to wound her but they won't be able to kill her.
"HUNTER!!! PULL... THEM... BACK..."
She was staring straight in his brown eyes.
Her eyes that seemed redder than a few weeks ago, were filled with emotions.
Despair.
Hopelessness.
Begging.
"QIRIN!!" he called out.
If Saphira is looking like this then that means this is indeed a hopeless battle.
"Use gravity," he said.
Since there is no point in trying to simply pull them back, they needed force to make sure that they would be able to pull them back.
Seeing as Raynisha will not allow them to leave as they want, Saphira stood up and raised her sword.
'This attack will cause the family sword, that is for sure,' she thought.
Each of them actually has a family sword, it is one of the reason they returned to Qillian Empire.
This one has the spirituality of their mythological beast that it is far stronger than their normal swords.
Saphira wasn't supposed to receive this for it was supposed to be Raynisha.
But the night before they were to leave back then, Asherton gave it to her saying that it is hers now that Vermilion Bird is with her.
Because the sword could not be pulled out by anyone other than the hosts of the mythological beasts.
This is one of the things they didn't understand from Raynisha back then.
There was a point in the past where Raynisha suddenly started leaving this sword behind.
Saphira only understood it when she found out that Raynisha was corrupted by the darkness.
With the mythological beasts being the ones fighting againts darkness, it is just right that those with their spirituality would reject those of darkness.
The reason she was feeling happy when they just arrived in Cetus Kingdom because none of them were using these swords.
They were instead using the normal ones that allowed them to continue training their own physical strength.
'I'm sorry grandfather,' she thought before she raised the sword.
"Hunter what are you doing?!?" Drake roared when he was suddenly pulled by an invisible force towards Qirin.
"White tiger!!" he called but he didn't come out.
When Qirin made his move, all the others returned to their hosts.
Because there is one thing about the mythological beasts that they were unaware of.
The heirarchy only known by the beasts themselves.
