"We have to stop him here," Felix told Zian.
There was only the two of them and their inborn beasts.
"Easier said than done," Zian commented but nevertheless still rushed forward to hinder Chester from returning to the castle.
Somehow it was pretty obvious, that he was after something else.
And they couldn't brush off the feeling that it was Saphira.
Qirin and the rest rushed to Chester, throwing their own attacks.
Chester was able to dodge before he grinned at them.
He then raised his hand.
All this time, the sunny weather turned gloomy at some point in time.
Something they haven't noticed due to the battle they were engaged to.
Chester's grin became even more devil like when somehowthe sky blurred and the gloomy one that felt like s trong rain would fall returned to its sunny weather.
Only that, everything was still dark.
Because right above them thousands of demonic beasts were hovering.
The flight beasts were supporting those that are not.
Some were on the same level as the Phoenix.
With number and power, Felix and Zian were at their wits end.
Isn't this a bit too much?
"It seems he really has a plan to wipe this place out," White Tiger spoke.
"Hunter had been feeling that something was amiss all this time, it seems it was because of this," Qirin replied.
Something was amiss because Samuel brought with him a lot of demonic beasts but Chester came on his own.
They were unable to point it out because Chester had shown his power since the beginning of the battle making them focus on it instead of other things.
"We'll take care of the beasts, you two make sure that this person were not to leave this place, if he were to do so then..."
Qirin didn't finish but Zian and Felix understood what he meant.
It is better that they can see him than them not knowing what he was up to.
Zian and Felix took a deep breath, there is no point feeling despair.
What they needed to do now is to fight with their lives on the line because that is the truth of the matter.
If they lose then they die, so better fight with all they got.
Qirin used gravity and earth to stop the descending demonic beasts.
Together with him was Black Tortoise, who was using his ice in order to give another support.
They will use their own power to have these beasts above air.
Because just below all of them was the imperial city.
There are thousands of them so even though the main battle was in the mountains, they still reached the imperial city while lining up.
No matter what, they are to stop all these beasts.
"You go and call the soldiers, even with mythological beasts, it will be difficult for them to stop all these beasts from getting into town," Zian tasked his beasts.
In turn the king of butterflies, turned small and flew back to the castle.
It is inevitable that damages will appear and worst there might even be death due to the number.
But if they can minimize it then so be it, they will just do what they can.
Now it felt like they are facing a beast tide, but instead of the land, these beasts suddenly came from above.
Felix and Zian fought together just to keep Chester at bay.
"What do you think have happened to them?" Felix asked in between their battle with Chester.
Chester was no longer smiling but was instead irritated at the way these two are stopping him.
He didn't expect that he was weakened tremendously at the way he fought a while ago.
He did went all out at the beginning of the battle just to give them despair but they realized it so soon.
At the same time, these people have surely powered up that they were actually able to fight on par with him.
He was aware of how strong he is, very much aware that he was confident at the beginning of the battle and the way he carried his plan.
Yet it was thwarted by them.
He gritted his teeth adn his look turned darker.
He will surely kill these two who are trying to stop him from checking his other task.
"It must be connected to his ability, if so they wouldn't be so easily enclosed in a barier or something. Right now, they must be under his illusi-"
Before Zian could finish his sentence, he was sent back by Chester's dark mist.
He just glanced at the other six and he was already hit so hard.
He coughed up blood after he ended up tumbling on the ground because of that attack.
"Damn... I am your younger brother!!!! Or am I older?"
He shook his head before moving back and engaging in another battle with Chester.
They can't be distracted even just for a second.
It wasn't easy but they were able to continue on keeping Chester at bay.
Though they do wish that the others would get back soon, whatever it may be that is going on within them.
Meanwhile, Chester's ability caused the six of them to fall into an illusion.
And this illusion was strengthened by his dark power.
At the same tim eby the fact that he knew them very well.
This is also the reason why Ziana dn Felix were not included, he has no idea as to who they were.
If he were to use an illusion on them despite this fact then the illusion on the others would ended up having weaker effect due to distribution of power.
And so he though he will just battle it out with these especially since he has all those demonic beasts with him.
But he had underestimated them.
he didn't expect that these two would be able to hold him at bay even though they have no mytjological beasts with them.
Chester will never know that if these were before Felix and Zian met the other seven then surely they really wouldn't be able to do anything.
