"ehh yeah, hercul is the one who is currently keeping off the more large hamjis away by fight at the other side of the gate and jack and sahal... though zura is assisting the medics around there, while they try to close it from inside the gate... though it's weird that I didn't see CW over there" Indra answered, as i just smile knowing that my prediction was correct. "but why did you ask anyway?"
"well so that we won't have to stress our self getting there, unlike the amadilo guild." I said with a serious tone, while heading towards in front of the guild. "SUN GUILD PREPARE FOR BATTLE, THS IS A CODE RED BREACH SO READY YOURSELF FOR A FIGHT... ARE YOU WITH ME!"
"YYYYEAAAHHHHHHH!" they all responded with a grin on there face.
"then let's go, space art: great teleportation!" i casted, as everyone of the guilds members where transported directly to the battlefield
In the afternoon
In a cemetery off east of capital cyprus
CW p.o.v
I stood in front of the tomb stone of the greatest hero I have ever know, the very one who gave her life for the capital, the people... And for me. I wore my usual black mercenary outfit with my normal short sword hoist wrapped against my back, as I just stare at the encryption of her name written on the tomb stone....general Mary ojuku..... My beloved sister, my only family, but now is gone... Why, just why.
"sis I brought you some flowers... I hope you like it, here." I called out, while dropping a bouquet of white flowers on her grave. I stared at it, with tears dropping out of my eyes, the salt in it stings it as I just came closer to the grave, kneeling on it while placing my hands in the dirt and gripping it roughly. "why...why...w-why... WHYYYYYYY!!"
I roared out in rage, punching the ground, ignoring the dirt's on my hands. "you left me in this world.... This cruel world, why you saved all this ignorant and selfish people... You had a chance to save yourself but no.... You just had to play the hero didn't you...I CRY EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE OF YOUR DEATH...
I stood up, with my eyes glaring at her grave as my fist squeezed tightly to the point that blood was coming off it. " i don't care how strong he is... I don't care how powerful he is.... All I know is just one thing..."
I felt some slight movements at the back of me, and with a sudden flash; a hamji with razor shape claws had jumped out from a tomb grave wall and pounced towards me but just before it could reach me, it instantly turned into dust in the wind, as I just continued look at the tomb, with one side of my right eye glowing smoky white and my hoist in my left palm, with my katana at the right with blood stains on it.
"isaac... I will kill you even if I die, and that's a promise sister." I grunted with rage, as I just placed my katana into the small hoist, which seems odd to other people as the katana is longer than it's hoist but it seems to fit quite well.... Well I guess that's just how the sword is, besides even I don't even know it's full potential.
I put my hands into my pocket to find out that I still had a bag full of gold, from my last quest. I walked out of the cemetery, as I just stared at the afternoon sun and then my gaze shifted to a strange part of a dark empty space close to the woods.... And it seems to be giving Off this strange mana present l, in fact it feels like as if it can't finish... Like as if it has no end to it.
"Hmmmmmm, That can't be righ-." I tried to understand the whole situation right now, until I saw.... A cute blond nun run out of the dark ... Scary woods and seems to be in a hurry.
I stood there with a very confused face, as it seems that the mana present seems to be coming from... Her, but how. My thoughts had come to a hold, as I saw a hoard of hamjis coming her way, but just before I could react to this and safe her... It's seems that the hamjis had just ... Ignored her?
'how? She didn't even show fear, could it be that they couldn't sense her.... No, no that doesn't even makes sense... Her mana present should be too detectable, but why aren't there doing anything... Hmmmm I need to see this through-.'
Rrrrroooaaarrrrr!
I was too lost in thought to notice that one of the hamjis had seen me, and seems to have alerted the others.
"Okayyyyy seems that my mind is still intact, almost thought that you beasts were broken.... But it seems that I haven't lost my mind, come at me freaks."
Walked towards them with a smug smile on my face, with my sword now in my right palm.
--------------------
Sister mia p.o.v
'i'm s-so t-tired.... I need to hurry up, she needs me.... I just hope that zero is doing well with the children.' I kept on running towards the market, as I just sighted something, or should I say someone staring at me with a confused face and seems to be in the abandoned cemetery... Could it be that he saw my face, I need to hurry up my pace.
I ran even faster, ignoring the hoard of hamjis coming my way, but seems to ignore me too, as I was really motivated to get the medicine for the orphan.
"Finally... The Western gates." I said in relief to have arrived to my destination on time, and it seems that the market was still opened, though it was one thing to get here safe, but it's another thing entirely to do the shopping, because due to my presence, I normally tell zero to do it... But forget about that, I need the medications now, it's important.
I made my way through the gates and as if already planned out, the people that had already noticed my presence had already started to talk I'll about me... Due to my past.
'why can't they just leave me alone?'
I continued to make my way through the mini town, but it's like the more i made my way through the town, the more insults and curses come my way... Though it's not the first time I guess.
"Please find it in your heart to forgive me," I tried to say, but only got glares and even more insults.
"just die"
"Ha I can't forgive a devil"
I tried to fight back the tears threatening to fall down my face, but instead I just wore a humble smile on my face, as I saw the medications shop close by, my veil flown through the air, showing a little part of my face and like that it seems to have gone noticed my the shop keeper; whose smile had dropped from a cheerful one to one of grief and anger... But still I wore a humble smile on my face, which only seems to irritate him further.
"
"I beg of you, please I need it for a child I'm nursing back to health... Please, I even brought money." I tried to convince him, as I deepest my hands into my nun outfit pocket s to get the money, but as I brought the money out, I then noticed that I didn't bring enough money with me, as the elf man just started grinning with a devious smile.
"Awwwwwwwn what a shame, seems that wouldn't be enough to get the drug you need." He came closer to me, still with a smug on his face, as he reach for my veil and had his other arm trying to pull me closer to him while pushing me to the door, as the door was now closed. " you know... I could just give you the drugs for free... At least for a price that is."
I tried to get out of his hold, but it seems that I'm stuck. He removed my veil, exposing my face, as he just licked his lips, with a sickening look on his face. " beautiful.... Hehehe."
"Leave me alone... Please." I started cry as I pleaded with him to let me go, but he didn't listen as he started to bring his lip down to my lips, suddenly a hand had busted through the door, grabbing the man's face with force and dragged the man through the door, breaking it into pieces. The man was then threw to the other side of the Road, towards the building Opposite us. As the dust had cleared to reveal the same man I saw; who was staring at me at the cemetery, as he glares at the vendor who was trying to get his way with me and looked so afraid of the strange man with a small sword hoist at his back.
" just how idiotic are you, trying to have your way with a nun for that matter.... Such a shameless fool " the stranger said with such anger in his voice.
"my store! you brat how dare you! I was just trying to help the girl out.... Besides it not like her life matters in this village, so would care huh, she's just a pathetic witch, a frea-..... MY ARM!!!" The shop vendor shouted in agony as his arm was suddenly cut clean off, as if it just fell of on it's own, but still from the sight of the stranger, the stranger suddenly had a sword in his hand and that the same sword seems to have bloods on it.... Or could it be that it was him that did that, could it be... But I didn't see him move, just who is this stranger?
"oh I'm sorry did I do that... Must have mistaken you for a hamji, you sure look like you're about to become one... Cause it seems that I can't really see any difference between you and them." The stranger glared at the vendor; who was now shaking in fear and pain. " people like you are meant to be thrown out of this city, treating a nice nun like trash... I might hate the church, but even I won't go this far."
"We don't hate the church, we just hate her. She's a witch, a beast." A man cried out from the crowd.
"yeah if not for the church we all would have been dead by now" another person from the crowd had shouted out.
"yeah, they were the one who made the seal that our town use right to these day, protecting us from those demons out there!" The man whose arm was severed, cried out. "where that nun belongs, it was because of her that we lost our original one! That witc- ahhhhh MY SECOND ARM!!!!! AHHHHH!! PLEASE STOP."
"Shut up, she doesn't seem like the one to perform such a feat, so why don't you all just keep YOUR DIRTY MOUTH SHUT!" the stranger shouted in rage, while walking towards The vendor in pain, with his sword glowing smoky bright. The people started to panic and so was the injured vendor. " if you all keep on treating her like she is the cause of your problems, then rest assured that even your cause won't help you from me."
The stranger was now in front of the vendor ogre-man, who was now bleeding to death. I didn't want the man to harm the vendor, so I rushed in front of the vendor; who was actually shocked by this as his eyes had widen open.
"p-please stop. I-i won't allow it... Please sir, please forgive him." I pleaded with the stranger, as he rose his sword up high, ready to slash the vendor straight on the head. I then squinted my eyes shut in anticipation of the slash. "please don't kill the man."
"There will be no need for that." The stranger said in a calm tone, as his sword came down with speed, but instead of a head splitting pain... I felt the stress in my leave like as if I never had, I was shocked to see that when I opened my eyes and had looked back to see that the vendor, who was now okay and all healed up... As I looked up to the stranger, who had his sword in its hoist, and started to walk away with a smile on his face. "i need to get a move on back to cryprus capital, here."
He tossed a bag of.... Gold coins, to me but as I was about to give him back, he just waved his hand and had started to walk away... But I managed to spot a very familiar sun tattoo on the right hand of the stranger, quite similar to that of... Tobi, could it be.
"p-please sir, wait up." I was about to go catch up to the stranger, until he suddenly turned back at me with a small dagger in his right hand.
"you said that you need medicine huh, here use this." He tossed the dagger to me, as I panicked at first but then held it firmly, but I was confused on what to do with it. "it is a blessed relics, quite similar to my sword, any some cut from that dagger can heal anyone up... No matter how critical it is... I guess this is good bye, sister, may the Lord protect you."
"T-thank you mister, for everything you have done for me... May the Lord assist you in anyway possible... My name is sister Mia, and sorry for asking but.. that sun tattoo on your right hand, really looks familiar... Do you know anyone by the name-"
I was about to finish, till then suddenly, the sun tattoo on his hand had started to glow white, and with that he started to look serious, as if there was a problem at hand.
"w-what happened sir-." I was about to ask the stranger, but then the stranger had picked up a black shaded eye glass from his pocket, and had wore it.
"The name is CW, and I am needed somewhere else.... Till next time sister Mia." He said with a serious tone in his voice, and with that.... He just vanished into thin air, as I just stared at the small dagger in my hand with a smile on my face, while walking out of the main town gate.
'till next time... CW.'
Back at cryprus capital.
Hercul p.o.v
'damn it's, these hamji just keep on coming.'
"Sahal, when will that barrier be closed already, these hamjis really are persistent on getting through the seal."i mentioned to sahal, who was trying to fix the seal back up but was having some difficulties in doing so.
" If you think it's sooo easy why don't you not just come and do it yourself huh!" he retaliated with a angry face. "beside if you feel like you're trying more, then why not just use you Goliath base form, at least then the sooner yeah done with them, the sooner I can get back to drinking."
"You know I can not do that right... The threat is not that major." I responded, but then I noticed that my guild had finally arrived out of thin air... Seems that Indra was able to deliver my message. "well seems like I won't need it then, reinforcement has arrived."
"h-hercul.... I think you need to go Goliath... Right now." I heard sahal stammered in fear, as I just made my way out of the seal breach to reveal some of the other guilds members running through into the breached seal... With a frightened expression on their faces and from the direction that they were coming from... I could feel a very massive corrupted mana coming from that direction, and then from of the bat, I knew what it was.
"Sahal, I need you to close this seal fast... And tell ruk to assist you, I'm going beyond the seal region... You know what is coming, don't mess up." I instructed sahal with a very commanding tone.
"but how can this situation just escalate to this extent... A code grey breach huh." Sahal concluded, as I just glared at the approaching beast heading this way.
"A yoma is heading towards us... Damn it."
