Chapter 2 - The Divide

It has been a Year since Ulric had proposed to Vivian, The lass was ecstatic to say the least when she had received the ring. She had led The Slayer to her room to confess her own feelings which the Umbral Operative returned in full.

Now the Two were currently off the country, somewhere is Seoul as the Family: being composed of Ulric's Little sister and Vivian's Mother dearest, always wanted to travel there.

"Hey Ul, Hurry Up!" His Fiancé called put to him as she dragged him out of stupor and pulled his hand to guide him through the crowds. He held a smile as Vivian pouted as the food stand they waited in line for ran out of Lobster tails to serve.

"Now, Now. There is more to life than Tails." Ulric chuckled as Vivian delivered an angry elbow to he ribs. Coughing became Cackling as she went on her wails of elbow thrust at him.

"It's no fun if you're so durable! I can't even bruise you!"

"Well, You know what they say—"

"The bigger they are the harder they fall?" The Blonde cut in.

"Blondes always end in Blunders."

Vivian glared at him for a moment before they laughed it off. She was weird that way but Even Ulric knew that he was not one to judge as he was twice as different as his Wife-to-be holding her hand in his.

All was well until a Bright Light got between them as the Earth Violently Shook. Ulric felt a Searing pain as he felt heavier of his left. His eyes widened as blood began to spray itself out of his right stump.

The Roads and Buildings split in two as wave after waves of monsters began to spill.

This was bad, no, this was going to shit fast.

Ulric responded to the screams of a civilian being attack decapitating the Blade Knoll on top of them ignoring his lack of a right forearm. He told the man to run as fhe Slayer mowed down the monsters in search for his Family.

Minutes became Hours and Tens became Thousands as Ulric began to sink into a frenzy like status killing every monster he saw and interpreted that was getting in his way to search for His fiancé and Family.

GROAAAAAAAAAR.

A thunderous roar echoed the sky.

"Shit!" He yelled as he narrowly dodged the onslaught of Fire aimed at him. The Offender was a Great Fire Wyrm whose single wing matched the length of a schoolbus and whose scales made blood scream in envy as it flapped its dominance in the sky. Within the Monster's Claws was his family.

Ulric's eyes glowed of Blood crimson as he Jumped after the scaled beast in primal rage. Not caring of what came after him.

"Of Man and Dragon."

Something spoke in his head as he precariously climbed the back of the flying drake.

"To Have power is to Have Control"

Ulric nearly fell as the Winged Beast did a barrel roll in an attempt to drop the lad to his doom as it climbed higher and Higher into the clouds. The air was thinning as he fougt to keep himself Conscious Gulping a breath and slowly breathing out.

"A Slayer, A Ruler, A Crester."

The Dragon began to dip and dive into the earth from the Stratosphere as its form began to glow brightly reminiscent of An Blood Ruby in the light of the sun. Ulric's one arm screamed in pain as the re entry slowly burned his muscles in the process.

The Slayer needed to act fast and hit hard. He had to. He can't lose his family not now.

"Dost thou wish to Save those who are dear to you?"

the Voice echoed in his head as he nodded.

"System Registry on, 8th Crester, Ulric Vasilias. Purging engaged."

Ulric blacked out not befire hearing the Pained screams and roars of those around him.
